My name is Lily. I'm an orphan although I'm adopted by a family. My parents died in a plane crash and my father's friend Uncle Lee adopted me. He had no child but 1 year after my adoption Uncle Lee and Aunt Camille had a baby girl named Mia. Aunt Camille always was indifferent towards me but Uncle Lee adored me and never made me feel that I'm lacking a father figure. After the death of Uncle Lee I lost my family again. Uncle Lee used to give me allowance but after his death Aunt Camille stopped providing me any money but with the help of my good grades I am studying in Community College. I also do 2 part time jobs so I don’t have to depend on the Martin family.
Lily is clumsy but hardworking girl. She has a limited amount of friends and a loyal boyfriend. On her 19th birthday her boyfriend Justin gifted her a cycle. Lily replied by saying " I can't take such an expensive gift. You have to return it. "
Justin said " Are you kidding me ? It’s not that expensive. You can use this so that you can be on time on your part time job and You'll get a raise and treat me. "
Today is Lily's first day of her new part time job. She's very excited. Lily was riding her cycle and a car came with great speed that she couldn’t control herself and her bike crashed with the car. Her cycle broke very badly and the car had some scratches. Lily became furious. The driver from the car came out and started abusing her. He said " You blind girl, Can't you see ? You ruined the car. "
Without letting the driver finish his sentence Lily said " Your car is ruined ? My cycle is now unusable. Give me money to buy a new cycle. " The driver was about to hit Lily.
At that time a man in black leather jacket came out of the backseat and said in a cold voice " Move away. " to the driver
Lily was intimidated by him but she got close to him and said " Due to your drivers rash driving I could have died. "
With pierce eyes he said " You're not dead, Are you ? "
Lily said " Stop with your attitude. My cycle was unused. "
Then he said " Now it’s about your cycle. I'm not paying any money for your junk. Rather you owe me money. You ruined my car. "
" The car is fine. " said Lily.
The cold man hinted his driver to come and his driver said " To fix this car you need to pay approximately 5000 dollars. "
" It’s just a little scratch. I'm not getting fooled by your bullshit. "
The man got angry and grabbed Lily by her collars and said " Stop getting on my nerves or you'll regret it. "
Then lily said " I'm not getting scared with your empty threats. Give me my money and apologise to me. "
The man raised his eyebrows and said " What if I don’t do it ? "
Lily lied down in the road and said " You have to get over my dead body. I mean it I have nothing to lose. I'm not scared to die. "
The Man became interested in the antics of the girl and he entered the car and told the driver to start the car. Lily became scared but she couldn’t get up because she didn’t wanted to feel like a coward. She was shivering of fear. The man watched the sight from the car and gave a devil smile and the car took a U turn. Lily felt like a foolish and then she realize she was very late for her job.
She then took a piece of rock and threw it towards the car to show her anger and said " Where are you going, Jerk ? "
Lily was very disheartened because she lost her new job due to being late and she broke her new bike. " Ahhh, This Is The Worst Day Of My Life. " She was coming to her home and saw a grey Mercedes car and became shocked. She thought to herself if her Aunt Camille's boyfriend bought a new car.
After not even 6 months of Uncle Lee's death Aunt Camille got a boyfriend named Harry. It feels like I'm the only one missing Uncle Lee.
She became even shocked by seeing lot of guards at the entrance of her house. " Has Aunt Camille got a lottery ? " She entered the house and saw something that made her jaw drop. The man with the black leather jacket from earlier was there .He said " HELL'O there. " ( Making emphasis on the hell).
Lily asked " What are you doing here ? "
" Don't worry my darling you’ll get to know everything. " The man whispered into Lily 's ear. Before she could give any reaction Lily's aunt started shouting towards at her about causing trouble. To defend herself Lily said " He was the one who ruined my bike and was threatening me ? "
Aunt Camille said " I Don't Care. We can't afford to give you 5000 dollars for your mistake. We provide for your living. We can't pay for your recklessness. "
Lily became stunned by Aunt Camille's statements. She said " You don’t provide for my living. "
Aunt Camille asked " What Did You Said ? "
Lily replied " I said you don’t provide me anything. I am independent. My college fees are paid thorough my scholarships and my food expenses are paid through my part time jobs. You never had financial problems due to Uncle Lee. "
Aunt Camille said " You ungrateful girl. Your Uncle is dead. "
Lily then said " I know Uncle Lee's dead but you seem to forget it. You’re enjoying
life as if nothing happened. Harry gets you money and gifts to Mia. So I don’t get how you are having financial problems. "
Harry slapped Lily after hearing her and said " Shut up and Get out of my house. " A tear from Lily's eyes fell and she looked towards 'The Man' sitting on the sofa. He got up and said " Stop with your family drama. I don’t want money from you guys and the girl don't have any. I'm not interested in money now. "
Aunt Camille asked " What do you want then, Sir ? "
The Man replied " I want the girl. "
Everyone became shocked from the statement of him. Lily became agitated and said " Stop bringing my sister into it. I damaged your car not my sister. "
He laughed like a devil and said " When did I said I wanted your sister. Technically she isn’t your sister. "
Lily asked " What do you want from me ? "
He said " Calm down darling. I know you're dying to get to know me. I'll introduce myself to you privately. "
Lily said " I'm not your darling. Please leave from here. I'll send your money immediately. "
He said " I don’t think you understood me if I want you to come with me then you have to come with me."
" Shut up with your nonsense and leave. " said Lily.
He told the guards to take Lily. After seeing that the guards are coming Lily tried to run away but the guards caught her and started dragging her from her house. Lily tried to free herself from the hands of the guards but she couldn’t do it. Then she shouted for help saying " Aunt Camille, Mia Please Help Me. "
In reply Aunt Camille said " Go away already. Let us be in peace. "
Lily again pleaded to Mia " You're my little sister. "
Mia replied " You're not my sister. You're an burden to my family. Why don’t you understand ? Don't you have any self respect ? "
Lily stopped breathing and was shocked by the cold words of Mia. She didn’t expect it from her .With numb eyes she looked towards him and said " I thought you’re the worst person I've met but you’ve proved me wrong. Thank you. " She couldn’t bear the physical and mental pain and she collapsed.
Without any time wasted He ran towards Lily and put her in his arms. He threatened the guards by saying " If anything happens to Her you’ll see your end. " In the car He put Lily in his lap and started comforting her subconsciously. Lily became calm from the warmth of his body.
HIS POV :
Why am i getting tensed for this girl ? I'm a cold hearted guy. I've no feelings then why am I getting attached with this silly girl ? I can control a whole gang then why can't I control myself from her ? It's not my fault is it. Every girl I met is either wants me or is scared of me. None of them wanted to challenge me.
He quickly pulled her out of the car and went in his mansion. His teammates were shocked to see a girl in their villa for the first time. They were not allowed to have girls or any outsiders at villa without his permission. They started asking Who is this girl ? Why is she here ? Without answering anything he said " Shut up and bring a doctor. "
Lily woke up with headache and fatigue due to a tiring day and poor eating. Then she realized she isn't in her room and there was a cold presence sitting in front of her. She immediately got out of the bed and asked " Why am I here ? Why did you bring me here ? Get me out of here. "
" Where do you get so much energy ? You're eating habits claim that you're malnourished." Lily became furious and started screaming because she didn’t understood what he wants from her.
He ignored her questions and told her to freshen up to come down to have dinner. Lily said " Why would I come down for dinner ? You didn’t answered my questions either did you ? "
He smiled and said " You'll get to know everything. Now, get freshen up. "
Lily was angry at her life and started throwing things in the room with every energy she had. She got herself hurt from a glass vase. He heard things breaking and was coming to the room to teach Lily a lesson. But he froze when he saw that Lily was sitting in the corner of the room crying and blood was coming out of her hand.
He asked angrily out of concern " Are you mad ? " She didn’t said anything and was crying. He got her up and she didn’t had the energy to resist. He bandaged her and his teammates were confused as how he got so soft.
He said " We'll talk later. Let's eat for now. " Lily didn’t wanted to argue so she told the truth that she's not habituated to eat dinner. He asked why. She replied that she had to save money and her aunt didn’t used to give dinner after her uncle's death. He felt very angry and said " Now you’ll get habituated. "
Lily became shocked that why this man is caring for her and said " It's fine I have no appetite and I have hurt my hand. "
He asked " Do you want me to feed you ? "
Lily instantly replied " No. "
He said " If you want me to listen to you then you have to obey me. "
Lily asked " Is it a warning ? "
He replied " It's a suggestion. " Lily looked around the room and she could see only cold eyes but there was a guy with warm eyes looking down. She also saw him at her house. Lily pointed towards him and said " I want him to feed me. " Everybody in the room started laughing after hearing Lily's demand.
He said " He's Taewoon. My bodyguard. He worked for me for 4 years and hardly spoke to anyone. He's an introvert with great martial arts skills. "
Taewoon said " I can feed you. " Everybody became stunned at taewoon's initiative.
Lily said " Thank you. " He became jealous and started taunting taewoon. Taewoon ignored his comments and was feeding Lily.
Taewoon went to wipe Lily's mouth. Then He hold taewoon's hand and threatened him " You can't touch her. "
Lily protested and said " Don't act like you’re my boyfriend. "
He replied " You're not my woman but you'll be. That's what I want from you. "
He dragged Lily upstairs in his room and hold her hand in a tight grip and asked " Who do you think I am ? "
Lily whispered slowly " A Mad Jerk. "
He heard it and shouted in a loud voice " Do you think you’re funny ? "
Lily angrily said " Stop shouting. What's your problem ? "
He said " My problem is that you’re not taking me seriously. "
" How can I take you seriously ? I don’t even know who are you. "
" Fine, let's get to know each other. I'm Chen Xiao. I'm an Gangster. In fact I'm a gang leader. l murder people. I threaten people. I possess illegal weapons. Are you scared now ? "
With every word He spoke his grip got tighter.
Lily got even disgusted after hearing his Identity. She tried very hard free her hands. Chen found peace at the discomfort of Lily and said " Are you hurt already ? This is just the beginning darling. Enjoy your pain. "
After that he left the room and locked it. Lily kept banging the door and begged to open the door. After tireless efforts she gave up and lied down in the floor and asked herself that what did she do to deserve this endless pain in her life ? Her parents died when she was only five. Then Uncle Lee was the only family she had. When she was 17 uncle Lee died and aunt Camille blamed Lily. That uncle Lee didn’t able to take the pressure of taking care of Lily. The baseless accusation made Lily more guilty. Mia also blamed Lily that her father loves Lily more than Mia. With this painful thoughts Lily drifted away to sleep.
In the morning Chen came to Lily's room. He saw her lying down in front of the door sleeping peacefully. He thought to himself Is she trying to SEDUCE me ? Because if she is then it’s working. Chen took Lily in his arms to put her in bed. Lily in her sleep thought it was Justin and said " You smell nice, Justin. " Chen became uncontrollably jealous after hearing another man's name from the woman he put his interests on.
To express his anger he threw Lily on the bed and got on top of her and asked " Am I not enough for you that you’re taking another man's name in your sleep ? Are you dreaming about him ? "
Lily didn’t understand what was going on because she was half asleep she said " Save me justin. " and hugged Chen Xiao. Chen couldn’t handle his anger anymore and he kissed Lily. At first Lily didn’t mind thinking it was justin but when the kisses became extreme she knew it wasn’t justin.
When she regain consciousness she saw that Chen xiao is aggressively removing her clothes. She stopped him and said " Don't touch me. "
Chen sarcastically said " Now you’re disgusted by my touch but a few minutes ago you were enjoying it. "
Lily angrily said " You took advantage of me when I was in sleep. "
Chen shouted and said " Stop justifying yourself and tell me who the hell is justin. "
To protect justin Lily said that justin is her friend. Chen became more angry and said " Do you think I'm a fool ? Which girl wants to kiss her friend ? Fine, I think your ' friends ' time is up. " Lily became scared that Chen will hurt justin. So, she sacrificed her self respect and kneeled before Chen and begged to spare justin.
Chen asked " Is he that important to you ? " Lily remained silent. He again said " If you remain silent. I won't guarantee his safety. "
Lily unwillingly told him " He's my boyfriend. We're in a relationship for 3 years. "
Chen was fuming on the inside and asked " Did he kissed you ? Did you had sex with him ? Are you pregnant with his child ? " Lily said that it was her personal life.
Chen started laughing and said " Oh you're funny. Your life isn’t yours anymore. It’s now my property. "
She asked sadly " What did I do to deserve this ? "
He didn’t knew what to answer " Come down to have breakfast. " Chen's heart ache for someone after many years.
Lily went to freshen up and saw a walk in closet with full of branded and expensive clothes. Lily saw these clothes on Mia. Justin also gifts Lily luxurious gifts but she never accepted those due to her self respect. Lily's clothes were torn a little when Chen was forcing himself on her. Lily came down in her normal clothes.
Chen became furious and said " Who are you trying to Seduce in these clothes ? It’s torn and wrinkled. Why can't you just obey me ? "
Lily shouted and said " I'm not a Beggar. "
Chen then said " Now you’ll know your worth. " He put her hands on Lily's shoulder and tore her sleeve. Lily didn't thought of the consequences and slapped Chen with all the power she had and ran towards her room.
Nobody had the courage to put a finger towards him. Chen didn’t feel the slap but he felt a sense of disgust towards himself. He looked at Taewoon and saw disappointment in his eyes.
It's Afternoon :
During every hour a housekeeper came to Lily's room only to find her locked in the washroom and crying. After a while someone knocked on the door even though the room wasn’t locked. Lily thought to herself who it could be because Chen isn’t gentleman enough to knock. Lily asked " What do you want ? "
A calm voice came from the other side " I am Taewoon. I have your belongings from your house. "
Lily said " Come in. "
Taewoon came and said " I'll wait outside and you can change. " Lily was so curious that how Taewoon is so different than others.
Lily got changed and asked Taewoon to come in and he brought in food. They talked for a while. It felt like they completed each other.
When Taewoon came back from the room. He saw Chen standing outside. Chen asked " What did you say to her ? "
Taewoon replied "Just basic things. "
Chen raised his eyebrows and said " You never spoke to us about 'basic things'. " Taewoon remained silent.
Chen asked calmly " Do you like her ? "
