"Momma."
"Yes, Lily?"
"May I please go to Madame Fleur's bakery?"
"Lily, it's 8 P.M, it's late. You may go tomorrow in the early morning."
"But momma-"
"No buts Lily."
"Ugh." Groaned Lily as she went back to her room.
Although her parents spoilt her as much as they could, they were still strict and no meant no.
She started reading a book to pass the time but ended up falling asleep halfway through.

"John, I swear on my mom's life if you mess this up, I will-"
"Oh shut up, we all know that you would never hurt me." Replied his best friend John before hanging up.
If it were anybody else, he would've been dead for speaking with Xavier that way but John was different, they have been friends ever since they were fifteen.
Xavier snickered and got up to see if his men had managed to get his private jet ready.
He was travelling to London to finish some business there and by business, he meant getting his money back from Leonardo Jones.
¤¤
When the jet finally landed in London at approximately 8 A.M, he hopped out of it and decided to go to the hotel he'd booked to rest a little before getting back to work.
¤¤
Lily woke up the next day at approximately 8 A.M, took a shower to freshen up, and went downstairs.
"Momma, I'm heading to madame Fleur's bakery to help and then to Mr Jones' library to return a book, is that okay with you?" She politely asked her mother.
"It's okay, dear but don't be late. Okay, my little flower?"
"Yes, of course! Where is papa by the way?"
"He went to work earlier today."
"Oh."
She ate her breakfast and quickly ran upstairs to change, she decided on one of her favourite tops along with some shorts.

"Madame Fleur!" She said as she entered the bakery.
"Lily, my beautiful flower, I missed you so much!" She said in her thick French accent.
"I missed you too!"
"How is art school?"
"It's good, I came here to help since today is a day off for me."
"How sweet of you my Lily."
They chatted for a while and then got to work.
She helped her with the baking and also helped the waiters and waitresses with the serving.
¤¤
She gasped when she realised it was already 6:30 P.M, she had to be back home at maximum 7:00 P.M and she still had to return the book to Mr Jones, that's why she quickly bid Madame Fleur goodbye and rode her bicycle to the library.
When she finally arrived there, she entered but found it empty.
No Mr Jones, Nobody.
"Mr Jones." She called out.
No answer.
She decided to leave the book on his desk along with a note.
I came here today to return this book but couldn't find you anywhere so I left it here for you.
~Lily ♡
She couldn't figure out why but the library felt eerie and weird.
She was about to leave when she felt a damp cloth being placed on her mouth and before she could comprehend what was happening, she felt herself succumbing to the darkness and falling into a deep slumber.

After a long nap, Xavier woke up in the afternoon feeling refreshed and energised.
He took a long refreshing shower, dressed up, and got to work.
He gathered his men and told them the plan.
He then hopped in the limo along with his men and the driver drove off.
When they finally arrived at their destination, his men left to do their job while he waited in his car.
His men then came back fifteen minutes later.
And as soon as they entered the limo, Xavier quickly questioned them.
"Who the fuck is this girl?!" He asked angrily, pointing his finger at Lily who was held in one of his men's arms, her face hidden by her hair.
Xavier's men came from different nationalities and backgrounds, that's why he spoke English with them.
"Boss, I swear on my mom's life the library was empty and we were leaving from the back door like you'd instructed but then we heard her voice, she was calling for him and so we decided to take her with us in case she'd seen us."
"Did you check if the library was empty before entering?"
"Yes, boss and it was empty."
"Did you lock the library's door after entering?"
"There was no key, boss."
"Why didn't you put any heavy object on the door to prevent people from entering, didn't I specifically state that no one must enter?!"
"We didn't think of that boss, we're sor-"
"Shut up! I don't want to hear a single word! I'll deal with all of you when we get back to Italy."
The ride back was silent since nobody dared to open his mouth.
When they finally arrived at their destination, which was an abandoned building, Xavier hopped out of the car and signalled for his men to follow him.
"Throw Jones in the basement and that girl in one of the other rooms but make sure to lock it, clear?" He instructed.
"Yes, boss."
He watched as his men carried Jones and Lily.
And the moment her face came into his view, he felt his heartbeat accelerate and his breath hitch, beautiful, that girl was beautiful...
