CHAPTER eighteen

  LILY'S POV

  "Yes, I will," I said looking up to meet Danny's eyes.

  I was a bit hesitant as I ransacked my head for the words to tell my story to Danny. I need not to search anymore as my memory took me back to the night of my sixteenth birthday and how my mother was murdered before my eyes by heartless rogues. I could still hear my mother whimpering and growling in my head even after her death. I could still see myself carrying heavy rods and fighting the ones stronger than me on Jude's instruction. I could still see the dangerous silver chains and the wipe that I was flogged with in Liam's dungeon.

  Danny noticed.

  "It's okay if you ain't ready now, take your time whenever you want, I would be here to…"

  "I am ready...now," I said, cutting off the remaining words from his mouth.

  He could see the willingness in me now. I was ready to pour my heart to him even though it would awaken memories that only bring pain to my heart.
