Why? How could this happen? Shannon had always been the good one, the outstanding student. But she always lost when it came to Lily.
She'd lost her fiance to her, lost her title of beauty queen to her, and even lost her friends to her.
Now, she had lost to her in academics as well. Why did she always win over her? Shannon's eyes flashed coldly. She vowed to get what she lost back from Lily.
That night, Loid picked up Lily from school and brought her home. They did not have dinner outside. Loid had his personal chef deliver dinner straight to Anmer Heights.
Ever since he found out that Lily had a weak immune system, he had instructed the chef to make more nutritious food.
Just as they were about to start eating, Shannon returned as well. When she saw Loid at the table with Lily, she approached them with a smile.
"Loid, Lily, do you mind if I eat with you guys? We haven't shared a meal since I started living here."
Loid glanced at her. Before he could say anything, Shannon said hurriedly, "I know you don't like me. I'm probably a pain in your asses living here. Don't worry, I'm moving back home tomorrow. This would be my last meal here. Let's eat together."
Loid was silent. He glanced over at Lily with a questioning look. Lily gave Shannon a sideways look but did not object.
"Have a seat."
Shannon smiled sweetly. "Thank you, Lily."
Halfway through the meal, Shannon noticed that both Loid and Lily's glasses were empty. She took the glasses and stood up.
"I'll go get more water for you, Loid."
Loid nodded without saying anything.
Shannon felt restless. The smile on her lips deepened. Very soon, this man would belong to her. She put him down on the bed and draped herself over him.
"Loid, you'll be my first and last," she whispered.
Just as she was taking off her clothes, the room went dark. Her expression twisted. What was happening? She stood up and went to flick the switch, but the lights weren't working.
She stomped her foot in frustration. Why did this have to happen now?
But despite the darkness, Loid's shadowy figure looked even more captivating. She looked over at him, pursing her lips, and went back to the bed. No matter what happened, she had to sleep with him tonight.
Without hesitation, she took off her remaining clothes and felt her way over to Loid. She leaned down to kiss him. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her neck and promptly fainted.
