{IN LILY ROSE'S NEW ROOM}
Lily Rose woke up to a sight that took her breath away. Her room was transformed into a romantic paradise. A bouquet of lily flowers adorned her bedside each tables in the room, their sweet fragrance filling the air. A basket of juicy berries, a decadent vanilla and honey cake, and a chilled bottle of champagne with two glasses completed the setup on the front of her on a table.
As she sat up, her gaze met Xavier's warm smile. He stood by the window, looking dashing in his tailored suit, his eyes gleaming with love and adoration.
"Good morning, my love," he said, his voice dripping with romance. "I wanted to start your day off right. You deserve all the sweetness and joy in the world, my fiancée, soon to be wife of Xavier Vincenzo Reyes."
Lily Rose was taken aback, unsure how to react. She didn't say a word, her silence unsettling Xavier. He had expected her to be thrilled, to throw her arms around him and shower him with kisses.
But instead, she just stared, her eyes wide with surprise.
Xavier's smile faltered, and his eyes narrowed slightly. "You're not happy?" he asked, his tone laced with a hint of inferiority and growing anger.
Lily Rose felt a shiver run down her spine as Xavier's demeanor changed. She didn't want to provoke him further, so she forced a smile onto her face.
"Of course, I'm happy," she said, trying to sound convincing. "It's just...unexpected."
Xavier's expression softened, but his voice remained firm. "I wanted to surprise you. Make you feel special."
Lily Rose nodded, still feeling uneasy. "You did. Thank you."
Xavier walked over to her, his eyes burning with intensity. "I expect you to be radiant this weekend, my love. Our wedding will be perfect, and you will shine like the star you are
Lily Rose asked Xavier in confusion."wedding?, what wedding?"
"Sorry love, I know that that it is Ggoing to be shocking but I decided that we will wed each other as a official couple, so don't worry about that, besides there is another surprise, okay." He smiled wickedly scaring Lily Rose,who thought of something else to keep away from the thought of marring him.
Lily Rose's eyes widened as Xavier handed her phone back to her, the familiar weight of it a comfort in her palm. "Thank you, Xavier," she said, feeling a mix of emotions: gratitude, relief, and a hint of fear.
Xavier smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "I knew you'd need it eventually. Just remember, no secrets, my love." His words sent a shiver down her spine, a reminder of the fragile trust between them.
"May I explore the house?"She asked.
Xavier hesitated, then replied, "No, not yet. You need to rest."
Lily Rose felt a surge of frustration. "I won't run away, Xavier. I promise."
Xavier's expression softened, but his voice remained firm. "I'll send guards to watch over you. For your own protection.
Lily Rose nodded again, feeling a sense of trepidation. He turned around ready to walk out but then turn back to look at her. "don't try to escape, it will lead you nowhere. The maid will bring you whatever you need" He said in a commanding tone before he finally walked out,she couldn't help but wonder what the future held for her.
As soon as Xavier left the room, Lily Rose hesitated, her fingers itching to dial a familiar number. Neriah, her best friend since childhood, would know exactly what to do. She'd be the perfect confidante, the one person who could help Lily Rose navigate this complicated situation.
But as she pondered calling Neriah, doubts crept in like shadows. Would it be wise to involve her friend in this dangerous world? Xavier's enemies might target Neriah to get to Lily Rose. The thought sent a chill down her spine.
Lily Rose's mind raced with the possibilities. If she called Neriah, she'd be putting her friend in harm's way. But if she didn't, she'd be facing this alone, without anyone to turn to. The weight of her isolation felt crushing.
She thought of all the times Neriah had been there for her, through laughter and tears, through every up and down. Could she really keep her friend in the dark, just to keep her safe?
As she stood there, torn and uncertain, Lily Rose realized that she had no easy answers. She could only follow her heart, and hope that she made the right choice.
With a sigh, Lily Rose decided against making the call. She couldn't risk Neriah's safety, no matter how much she needed her friend's guidance. For now, she'd have to rely on her own wits to survive in Xavier's world.
As she slipped the phone back into her pocket, Lily Rose steeled herself for the challenges ahead. She'd find a way to navigate this treacherous landscape, even if it meant doing it alone. But the ache in her heart told her that she'd miss her friend's counsel dearly.
{OUTSIDE THE MANSION IN THE DEATH EMPIRE}
Later, a maid, whose name is Vienna, arrived to show Lily Rose outside around the grand mansion,who wore a green outfits (off shoulder dress, high heels, tie her hair with ribbon into ponytail), that shows her beauty in all of the place,
As they walked, Lily Rose's phone buzzed with a text from Xavier: "I'm at the office. Be good, my love."
The maid Vienna, noticing Lily Rose's nerves, reassured her, "Don't worry, miss. All brides feel anxious before their wedding."
Lily Rose realized that not only that she is afraid of everything and everyone here, but she is starting to develop trust issues, after everything as happened. Until...
As Lily Rose stepped further out of the mansion, she noticed a sleek, black car pulling up, its tinted windows gleaming in the sunlight. The maid, Vienna, nudged her discreetly. "That's Great Lady Hope, Great Lord's godmother. Everyone's a bit intimidated by her, to be honest."
Lily Rose's curiosity was piqued as a statuesque woman emerged from the car, her brown hair styled in an elegant bob, her eyes gleaming with a sharp intelligence.
Vienna whispered, "She's not only Great Lord's godmother but also his godfather's younger sister - and one of the most feared figures in the organization. They say she's ruthless in business and loyalty, but has a soft spot for Great Lord."
As Great Lady Hope approached, Lily Rose felt a shiver run down her spine, sensing the weight of the woman's presence, and the unspoken power she wielded.
