SWEETHEART
Adrian's POV
I got out of the bed and walked towards the guest room, then I stopped. I had to take it slow. I needed to be reasonable. I knocked on the door three times though I knew it wasn’t locked. But I needed to do it this way, to pretend that I didn't know anything about her past.
When there was no response from inside, I slowly pushed open the door. Lily was still lying on the bed. Her face was covered by the pillow. I strolled to her and sat on the bed next to Lily’s shoulder.
I could hear her sobbing and she turned her back to me. I put my hand on her shoulder and my lips to her ears.
“Stop crying now. You don’t have to worry, I am here now. I promise to take care of you. No one will harm you.”
