Chapter 203 Chapter 203 - Lilia Gives Up

'What if I told her that I was scared of the Nightshade family,' thought Lilia as this was the only thing that she had seemed plausible.

In fact, it was a good idea considering that Lucius had just been beaten up by Sylas.

"I'm scared, that's why I want to join your family," answered Lilia, making sure that her voice was a little shaky while saying that.

To be honest, she was scared of the head of the Nightshade Family as she never knew what he would try to do to her.

"You're scared? That's the best you could come up with, huh?" replied Melinda, not believing that excuse at all.

"What do you mean? It's the truth I'm telling you," she added.

However, Melinda didn't believe her one bit.

She knew that Sylas was a cruel individual and that he wasn't scared of hurting anyone which might ruin his reputation, but this was simply too sudden.

Why was she asking to leave now, when Lilia had been part of that family for years now?

Melinda simply couldn't help but find it really weird.

"Tell me the real reason that you want to join my family and I might ask Sylas about you joining," said Melinda.

However, when Lilia heard that, she panicked.

'She's going to tell Sylas about me leaving? No, no, no, she can't' thought Lilia as she knew that Sylas would never accept her leaving ever, especially after what had happened.

"What do you mean ask Sylas? I'll just join your family that's it. He doesn't need to know," said Lilia, realizing that this was going to be somewhat of a big problem.

"What do you mean I won't tell Sylas, I'm already in some trouble with him regarding Aiden, I won't get in trouble with him by taking you away from him," said Melinda.

She knew that it wasn't a good idea to recruit Lilia from the Nightshade Family in the first place, and now she wanted her to do it with Sylas not even knowing about it.

Was she crazy or something?

The Nightshade Family isn't like the rest of the families, they are dangerous, especially when you go against them.

Sure, Melinda could resist against him since she was also a founding family, but she didn't want to provoke him for no real reason.

'I guess she's right, it isn't the greatest idea not to tell him, but then what can I do? He'll never accept me leaving to join the Emberbanes,' thought Lilia.

She was starting to realize that following Aiden was basically impossible for many reasons and she didn't want to bring more problems by following him.

'If I can't follow him, then I need to at least talk to him before he goes. I need to know what happened during those past years,' she thought, deciding that maybe it wasn't a good idea to follow him in the first place.

However, she needed to know what had happened and why he wasn't trying to talk to her.

She just learned that he wasn't mad at her, but why was he acting so distant?

It was simply weird, especially considering the past where he would never leave her side.

Well, whenever he could.

Lilia had always been the one comforting him and now Aiden seemed distant as if not wanting her help anymore.

'A lot of things must have happened in those past years for him to act so cold,' thought Lilia as she remembered that Aiden had been always smiling in the past even when he was getting maltreated.

"Um, you're right, then I guess I'll have no choice but to stay with the Nightshades," said Lilia, realizing that her demand was impossible to accomplish.

Melinda was quite surprised that Lilia was changing her decision so quickly, it made her doubt that maybe she wasn't a spy sent by Sylas.

However, even if she wasn't one, the arguments that she had mentioned were still real, and there was little chance for Lilia to join the Emberbane Family.

If she had been part of a high-level family, there wouldn't have been any problem, but she was part of a founding family which made this whole thing really complicated.

"Well, alright then, I guess we're done here. For real this time," said Melinda as she prepared herself to be teleported out of this place.

"Aiden, Emma, and Olivia, we will leave for the Emberbane territory tomorrow morning, so make sure to be ready by then," uttered Melinda.

Then, as she was about to finally leave it seemed that she had forgotten something as she once again turned around.

"Oh, and don't worry someone will come get you."

Then, after saying that last sentence, she finally disappeared seemingly tired.

After disappearing, Lilia didn't lose any time as she whispered something to Aiden's ear.

"Come see me, later, we need to talk. I'll be at the Ravenwood Hotel, room 201."

After whispering that, she also disappears leaving Emma and Olivia in shock.

'Who does she think she is getting so close to him and whispering to him something,' thought both Emma and Olivia.

But the two of them quickly dismissed those thoughts when they saw the face that Aiden was making.

He seemed nervous or stressed, it wasn't clear.

"Are you okay?" asked Olivia.

However, Aiden didn't even answer as he was thinking, thinking deeply for that matter.

'What could she want to talk about?'

'I know that she knows that I'm from the Nightshades, but it didn't seem like she would tell anyone.'

'And what was this about me being mad at her, what happened in the past?'

Multiple thoughts kept popping up in Aiden's mind, however, he was trying his best to calm down.

'Calm down, calm down, I'm sure everything will be fine,' thought Aiden.

He had noticed that she didn't seem to hold any grudges or bad intentions against him or else she would have probably revealed to everyone here that he was part of the Nightshade family.

In fact, it seemed that she was trying her best not to reveal it.
