Chapter 102: Hold Her….
Chapter 102: Hold Her....This was the second time she had felt this way. Was he planning to divorce her? Why did he keep saying things like this? Even though she hadn’t wanted to admit it, Why was he making her question herself?
Deep down, no matter how much she tried to dismiss the thought, she was in love with him. She had realized it that day when they had kidnapped her.
That day, she understood that she actually loved him—so much—but she couldn’t bring herself to say it. Not now, not when things were like this, not when he was making her question whether she should even say it at all, or just keep it to herself.
She quietly stared at him, waiting patiently for his answer, but he remained silent.
"Zethan," she called out.
They both stared at each other. She could sense he was hiding something, but what? His face revealed nothing, though it seemed he was thinking deeply.
In a swift second, to her surprise, he pulled her into his embrace, hugging her from behind. His face rested in the crook of her neck as she sat there, frozen. He stayed like that—silent, unmoving—before finally pulling away.
Lilia sat back, needing answers, but his silence only made her more anxious. She studied his face,
"Woww" Lilia’s eyes grew even wider, her excitement building as the car came to a stop in front of a massive black gate. The chauffeur rolled down the window and passed a golden-like card to the guard. The man bowed respectfully and stepped aside, allowing the gate to open automatically.
As they entered, Lilia’s gaze was drawn to the sight of black cars neatly lined up along the walls of the castle, two cars at each end, as if part of an elaborate arrangement. It was clear that other guests had arrived. She noticed groups of two people together, dressed in similar dark blue suits, the color theme for the day. Their outfits looked like Zethan’s and hers, but with subtle differences.
The car finally stopped in front of a path reserved only for them. As the chauffeur stepped out, Lilia took in the sight of people walking with grace and poise, their well-mannered presence unmistakable. Lilia could already tell they were wealthy, their every movement hinting at years of refined elegance.
Zethan turned to her with a smile. "Stand by my side, okay?"
She nodded, and with a respectful bow, the chauffeur opened the door. Zethan stepped out first, then offered his hand to Lilia. She placed hers in his.
Lilia entwined her hand with his, smiling at him,as they moved, heads turned in their direction. She was surprised even though she was aware of the attention they were receiving from their fellow CEOs, as she knew no commoner would be present, she was wondering how it would be if they entered the hall as they were already receiving this much attention.
It was clear that their intertwined hands had caught the eyes of many CEOs and their wives, who had just arrived and were stepping out as well. People walked in sync with them, pairs of individuals just like Zethan and Lilia—each hand in hand, CEOs and high-profile figures amongst them. Whispers to their partners, some smiles, some looks of surprise.
Lilia, intrigued by how they all walked and acted, felt as though she had been transported into an 80s film. Everything was perfect, with couples and high-ranking people. The only difference was they were all dressed in suits and arriving in cars instead of carriages.
If only she knew that most of them were shocked that Zethan Lyall had actually attended this gathering, as he had declined many invitations.
Finally, they reached the door of the castle.
Inside a tinted car, a figure sat, a gleam of satisfaction playing on his lips as his legs were crossed comfortably.
"Mr. Zack, it’s surprising that you accepted the invitation," one of his companions remarked. "You had said you wouldn’t be attending any more."
Zack’s smile deepened. "Wouldn’t it be better to try something new?" he replied, as he played the puzzle on his tab.
The driver nodded respectfully. "Of course, Mr. Zack. Very much so."
Zack’s gaze finally moved as it locked on Zethan and Lilia as they made their way through the entrance. His voice dropped dangerously low as his lips stretched wide.
"Hold her tight, brother," he murmured, a dark edge to his words.
