Chapter 52 - Living as Lily (1/2)

”Hah?”

”Fine! Since that's clear now!” He announced, shooting to his feet. ”I have to make a quick call. When you're done, stop everything and get changed.” He opened the door as he laughed as she is pouting.

Lily did not know if she should be angry or sad. The words 'to save you from your own stupidity' still persist throughout her mind.

Like an echo, his words flew through the vastness of her head. She was flustered. Never had someone called her stupid. She was ashamed of herself.

Anger rose in her. She was not used to being followed and felt uncomfortable with the idea that two people would now be clinging to her heels.

It felt like Alexandre had hired two spies / babysitters. Would he now know each of her steps? Would you tell him everything she did? Monitored each of her steps?

She had nothing to hide, but still felt controlled, felt treated like a child at the thought of two people accompanying her from now on.

She knew she was somehow guilty. Alexandre wanted her to be safe. She knew Pascal would not give up easily. That bastard! She was so angry. She wanted to roar and tear his head off. Not only had he betrayed her two years ago with her younger sister. No, that was not enough for him. He needed her money, too.

This greedy bastard!

Lily wanted so much to be one of those villainess noble girls of novels. A clever and insidious girl. One who always had some schemes in her pocket.

But Lily did not know how.

Should she perhaps even deal with the deep web and make some contacts or study under Alexandre? After all, he was No. 1 villain of 'My loyal hubby'.

Or maybe she should try Voodoo once and get one of those dolls she just had to pin up to get her revenge. Did this work anyway? And more importantly, was there even such a thing in this world? She had never really dealt with it, since she had never been so angry to think of revenge. But yesterday Pascal had clearly crossed the line.

Everything hurt. Every movement. Forget it! Forget it! She reminded herself. She did not want to die like that, not if she could prevent it. But how?
