His Sweet Menace novel

---- Chapter 2 As the words dawned on me, I finally noticed the woman standing behind Charles. Lily. There was only one person who would be called that, and that would be my older sister in name, Lilith. As expected , the woman walked up to me with a look of pity on her face. "Shay, I didn't expect our first meeting to go like this. "Charles, I just wanted you to prove that you had no feelings for her. Yet, she was nearly defiled by others. You went too far," she chided.

She then continued , "I'm sorry, Shay. We were just playing a joke earlier. You've clung to Charles for the past three years, so I got a little jealous and made an offhand remark about giving you to someone else. "I didn't think he would actually do it. That was too much of him. You weren't scared, were you?" If one paid close enough attention , one could see the mockery in her eyes and hear the smugness in her voice. "Lilith , you're too softhearted .

She's nothing more than an illegitimate child, but she kept seducing ---- Charles while you were gone. If it were me, I wouldn't let her go so easily. In fact, I'd make sure she was brought to ruin," said someone from the crowd, rushing to appease Lilith by tearing me down. "Everyone knows that Charles and Lilith are childhood sweethearts , and yet here she is, thinking so highly of herself.

Three years of hard work and scheming all for nothing, and now, she's back at square one!"" I lowered my head and touched my swollen cheek. A flash of laughter flickered across my eyes. Thinking so highly of myself? Three years of hard work and scheming all for nothing ? Back at square one? I thought not! Charles didn't have the heart to go through with it in the end. If I was a mere plaything to him, then why would it matter if Horace had his way with me?

He had wagered me off, then used a piece of land to trade me back. It seemed like I was pretty valuable. It was good that he didn't have the heart to go through with it. That meant that my past three years of diligence hadn't been in vain. My dress had been ripped by Horace, leaving a shoulder exposed. I looked at Charles and didn't say a word. Instead, I let my tears stream down quietly. ---- "Charles , I want you to stay with me tonight ," said Lilith with a pout as she hugged his arm.

"Okay," Charles answered. But before he left, he tossed his coat at me, covering up every inch of my exposed skin. Lilith tensed when she saw this. "Charles , I thought you were a germaphobe?" she asked a little unhappily. "She touched it, so I don't want it anymore." This explanation satisfied Lilith. "Shayla, Charles doesn't want you anymore. How about you be with me instead?" Horace asked with a chuckle just as Charles and Lilith were leaving. Inoticed Charles' footsteps falter.

Then, I stumbled off the poker table and declared , "He didn't say he doesn't want me, and I also refuse to be with you!" Iran out of the club. It was snowing heavily that winter's night, and the temperature was already below 32°F. It was so cold that I couldn't stop shivering. I braved the snow and wind and managed to catch Charles and Lilith before they got into their car. "Lilith , 1 know that I'm not worthy to compete with you, and Charles only loves you... But I really, really like him.

I just want to be closer to him. I'll be content
