Growing up Lilith's life from a young age was driven by her desire to complete her three aims in life; to earn enough money to survive, to run from her mother's hatred, and to find her father.
But each of these aims all came with its own challenges;...
A/N Okay so I'm so so sorry that I haven't posted in forever but I've been suuuper busy I'm drowning in exam deadlines and assignments but hey! It's nearly Christmas! Anyways I hope you all love this chapter as much as I do and have a fantastic day! Please don't forget to like and comment🖤 enjoy! ——————————————————— (James POV / Lilith dad) -The morning before the ball- This morning I woke up feeling numb as always today was my princesses birthday another birthday I don't get to spend with her because of my vicious bitch of a wife, she took away the light in our life and me and my boys haven't been the same since that day Conor cried for months none stop and Luke and Brendan begged me to bring them back there lily but I couldn't I tried so hard and I still am to this day but I'm a failure and that will always be however no matter how much I want to I can't step down as don and give the role to one of my sons because the role is not theirs it is Lily's and that is not only my opinion but there's also, you see last year the boys turned eighteen the rightful age or resection and they knew I had no choice but to give Luke the position as he was the oldest of the three however they all refused and said that she will be back but I can't help but doubt that it's been sixteen years without my baby girl and it's just as painful As the first day. I flushed away all of my negative thoughts and got ready into my tuxedo putting on my cufflinks and my tie clip both holding my mafia symbol and walked downstairs plastering on a fake smile , the boys we all hurting they missed her with all their hearts even Conor who doesn't remember her due to being a baby he still cried himself to sleep thinking of her. " Good morning boys, how are you feeling?" I said as I grabbed us all a cup of coffee and a bagel for myself as they all already had food. " good morning dad I'm okay I just wish she was home I miss her so much!" Brendan says as a tear falls from his eye yet his face is numb, " I know my boy I do too but we have to be strong today because today is her day no matter whether or not she is here we must spread awareness and celebrate her birthday" I said as I wiped away his tears and kissed his forehead. " My boys are all so strong we can get through this like we always do. Maybe soon we will see her or maybe we won't but we must not lose hope!" I said enthusiastically even though my heart was breaking and I pulled them all into a hug. " I love you dad thank you" " yes we can we're strong together for her" "We have to smile for her and try to spread awareness of her" The boys said, like Brendan, then Conor, then I stood up, " Okay finish your coffees because we're off soon, we have to make sure everything is ready and get her presents from my office in the city, come in hurry!" I said as I downed the rest of my coffee and placed the cup in the dishwasher. We all got ready and into the car and off we went to celebrate our stolen princess. ————————————————- (Time jump James entrance to the ball) The boys were already in the ballroom but I needed a moment alone I looked at her present I bought her this year, a crown fit for the queen she should be it was black gold with clear diamonds covered in vine like structures securing them, it was a crown made for the goddess of mischief and it suited her sassy princess perfectly.

That's at least how she was before she started pulling away from me, I wish I knew why she did that but I won't be finding out anytime soon. I placed the crown back in its box and onto the pile in the waiting room then walked up to the doors and took a deep breath, today was for her, for my princess. I walked through the doors and put in a fake small smile as I opened my arms and walked to the platform banister and looked at all the party comers as I began my annual speech "thank you all for coming here, as you all know this is my lost daughters annual birthday party even though she's not here we use this day to spread awareness or her kidnapping in hopes of bringing her home another day, so today whilst celebrating try to talk to your associates about my li-"I stopped as I caught sight of a beautiful young women at the bottom of the stairs surrounded by three others she had my bright ginger hair and bright gleaming green eyes she was here! My princess was here! My knees gave way as tears began to stream down my face " LILITH?!" I shouted as I knew that if I spoke responsibly my voice would crack her face remained emotional less as her brows furrowed "how do you know my name I only tell those I trust" she said coldly and my heart winced she doesn't recognise me after all these years I cannot blame her but I haven't changed in anyways bar the small wrinkles on my forehead and few grey hairs on my head " my child do you not recognise me? I know I have aged but surely not that much'' I said as I looked at my angel as her eyes widened and she stepped back her and the three others looked between us confused but the word she spoke seemed to clear things up as they looks at her sympathetically "James ?" She questioned my body froze and my heart began to hurt again but I nod none the less and before I know it she fled the room flying through the side entrance with her friends,I assume, following behind her , " dad was that her it looks like her" conor says and Luke answers for me " yeah conor that was her I cannot believe I was so stupid I knew she looked just like us and although I suspected it it didn't click until she freaked out" he says as he paces. "What do you mean son?" I ask confused, " dad she saw the pictures of her and the decor and freak the fuck out she thought we were trying to trick her into an alliance!" He shouts as he paces around and I'm left more confused , " why would we need an alliance with our sister?" Brendan asks the question on all of our minds '' because she's the Red Raven and right now she's pissed she thinks we're lying to her!'' Luke shouts and my heart does a flip then crashes. "My angel is the red raven. I'm so proud of the woman she has become but why would she think we would lie to her?" "I don't know but we have fixed this because we won't only lose her again but we'll lose our heads too!" Brendan says. -------------------------------------------------------- (time skip to after luke and brendan call lilith lilybug) My princess begins to stare at the wall in front of her for too long, "princess are you okay?" I ask as I touch her shoulder, "Lilybug, what's wrong?" conor asks and she ignores all of our attempts the twins make their own but she doesn't respond then all of a sudden horror crosses her face and she begins to shake she stands there for about 5 more minutes emotionless then she begins blinking again and looking around at us she begins shaking again "TTEO!! TTEO WHERE ARE YOU!!" she screams at the top of her lungs not taking her eyes from us, who the fuck is this tteo and why does she need them? Then some guy comes up behind her and grabs her hand "lil im here babe whats wrong?" he asks and i begin to get angry why is he calling my princess babe?! She then turns to him and whispers something to him and he looks at us confused then back at her then nods then he begins guiding her out of he room, her other friends following shortly after, then all of a sudden i hear a girl scream and me and my boys bolt for the doors locking them from behind us to prevent any guests from following, when we get outside i see my princess lying in that 'tteo's lap and shaking as he strokes her side, the other girl being consoled by the other boy. "What the fuck did you do to my angel?!" I scream as I point to him, he glares at me but then looks at Lilith and his face softens. "I would never do anything too lil. She is just having an episode it happens when she remembers things from her past, the doctors didn't think it would happen after she remembered about..... Well they didn't think it would happen but it seems she is remembering a lot because this episode is a lot longer than usual" the boy seems as he looks between me and my boys, "i'm glad she finally found you james she has been searching for you for nearly her whole life until she hit the dead end it was all she could think of" the other boy says and i scrunch my face up , "how do you lot know our sister?" Luke says as he grabs lil's hand and glares at them protectively "well we all went to the academy together , im cara this is simon and this is matteo were lily's best friends!" cara says as she wipes her tears "okay well i'm luke this is brendan and then there's little connor and you know my dad great introductions are done with lets get lily seen too please!" luke says impatiently. ——————————————————— Sorry that was so short!
