Chapter 15: Chapter 15

Lily was sitting on a black leather couch and tapping on the wine glass. Her foot moved slowly with the song played in the room. Her green eyes moved to the door of the room as soon she heard sound of footsteps.

"You aren't punctual. If it wasn't for the urgent deal, I'd have left long ago", she spoke as she looked at the wine in the glass.

A white well built man in his twenties entered the room. He gave off the vibe of some Mafia leader. He was wearing a black suit. His handsome features were sharp. One could tell he worked out a lot given he had a great body.

He was Julius Reynolds, 26 year old. The first son of Reynolds, one of the prestigious families and owner of Reynolds Groups, one of the largest chemical pharmaceutical industry in the world. He was aggressive and arrogant.

For money, he could kill anyone. If not for the Shengs, Reynolds would be the second richest family in the world but unfortunately Shengs are in the line and so is Andres which makes them the thrid in the list.

"Lily Sheng, aren't you getting too arrogant these days? Don't forget who I am", said Julius as he sat on the couch across Lily. Lily laughed and said, "Hope you remember who I am. I'm a Sheng and you're a Reynolds."

Having pressed the wound, Julius got angry and glared at her to which she did not gave any reaction. "Do you know I can kill you right here and no one will know?", He asked while she sipped her wine calmly.

"Just because I look simple doesn't mean I am harmless", she said in a calm tone. Julius smirked looking at her confident posture and ordered a whiskey for himself. "What can you even do in front of a Mafia leader?"

Lily wanted to laugh at him.

'Asking the wife... oh, my bad ex-wife of the world's Mafia King what she can do? Do you think he did not teach me anything?' Lily thought to herself while she sipped her wine.

"How much for TH15?", she asked without wasting any more time. "Ten million for one", he said sipping his whiskey. Lily nodded. "I need about twenty of those. The money will sent to you in an hour", she said and stood up.

She turned to leave but Julius held her hand to which her reflexes immediately worked up and she twisted his hand and held his wrist then pushed him away. "I didn't give you permission to touch me."

Lily turned and left the room without looking back.

Julius sat on the couch and smirked as he remembered how soft her skin seemed.

...

It was almost midnight when Lily returned to the mansion. She took shower and changed into comfy shorts and shirt with her hairs tied in two half ponytails.

She went downstairs and grabbed a cup of black coffee then went upstairs to her study room.

Lily sat in her study room and worked on the remaining files she asked Jayden, her grandfather's assistant to send her. Her head was hurting but she did not stop and kept on working.

It was 3 am by the time she finished her work.

She went to her room and laid on the bed with her eyes wide open. She wanted to sleep, she was tired but she couldn't sleep. Whenever she closed her eyes she would only see her past traumas.

"Ugh. You gave me new life then why didn't you let me forget all that? So unfair", she complained looking up and closed her ears to make all the voices in her mind go silent but they were too stubborn like her.

Finally by 5 am, she fell asleep but within an hour she woke up panting and sweating.

"Fucking shit", she cursed looking outside and freshened up then went to the backyard for run.

After the run, she took shower and put on a bright blue floral bodycon above knee length dress with matching stilletos and wrist watch. Her hairs were let down with a few front strands twisted and clipped to the side.

Lily came downstairs and greeted her grandparents.

"What happened to you yesterday?", asked old madam as she picked the bowl to serve Lily some soup. "Nothing much. Just someone ruined my mood", Lily answered and gestured the old madam to not serve her soup.

"I've to go visit Harvard University. I plan on staying there for a couple days. You can call me if you need me. I'll be here", she said and drank a glass of milk then stood up.

"Xiao Lily, you plan on completing your graduation in psychology there?", asked the old master to which Lily nodded. "Take care of yourself and have meals on time", said old madam and gave a meaningful smile.

Lily nodded and left.

Getting into her car, she told the driver to drive and drove out of the estate.

After driving for about twenty minutes, she saw someone on the road in an angry mood. "Stop the car", she ordered and the driver stopped the car then she got down and went towards the woman who was standing near a pink car.

"Excuse me", she spoke when she was near and took off her shades. The woman turned to Lily with a frown but it disappeared when she saw Lily. "Ms. Sheng", the woman smiled and greeted to which Lily smiled.

"Call me Lily. Is something wrong?", Lily asked looking at the car. "Actually my car broke", the lady said and sighed. "If you don't mind, I can give you lift", Lily offered in a polite and friendly tone.

"Oh please. That would be great. I'm running late for an urgent meeting", Angel said in a happy tone looking at Lily. Lily smiled and took Angel to her car and they got in.

"Drop me to Andres Group", Angel said to which Lily scowled. "Andres Group? But don't you own D'Souza Enterprises?", Lily asked in a curious tone.

"Oh that, actually Sam was urgently admitted to the hospital last night", Angel informed and Lily felt her heart shatter into pieces when she heard that. "Bu-But he was fine last night", Lily said in a shuttering tone.

Angel observed Lily's expression and felt something off. "Do you by any chance like him?", Angel asked looking at Lily catching her off guard. "Huh? I don't. Can't he even take care of himself?! Stupid", Lily answered and started cursing him.

Angel laughed and looked at her while she spoke, "Doesn't seem like it. Seem you fell for him like his other assistants but unfortunately he wouldn't even look at you." Angel sighed and Lily looked at her.

"No one can say a word to that guy. Only my sissy could handle him and made him take care of himself. After she left, he has gotten more stubborn", Angel sighed again and looked at Lily. Lily bit her lower lip and looked outside the window.

"When will he be discharged?", Lily asked and turned to Angel. "He has a few tests to do. If they are normal, he'll get discharged. Why?", Angel looked at Lily to which Lily shook her head.

There was complete silence for a while before Lily broke the silence. "Angel sis, what if I say I'm your sissy?", Lily said looking at Angel to which Angel laughed.

"I'm serious. I am Jennifer. I am your sissy. I incarcerated into his this body when the real Lily's soul left the body. I know you might now believe but it's true. We meet and you doubted if I am good or not but then you made your sister because I said so...", Lily spoke looking straight into the eyes of Angel.

Angel stared at Lily and did not say a word.
