A WICKED PROPOSITION
..::Chapter 1::..
Brian: Do you love me, Lilly?
Lilly: ...
Brian: You can't say the words, can you?
Lilly: Brian, don't be an idiot! We can't be together like that. I'm to be married.
Brian: Stay here and marry ME, Lilly. Go to your father. He isn't a cruel man to force you.
Lilly: Don't be ridiculous! I must marry someone of my class, Brian. You did not really think I would wed a stable dog, did you?
*CricK*
Lilly: You are spying on me again! You miserable little pup! If you tell anyone, you will regret you were ever born!
Catherine: *whimpers & cries*
Brian: Leave her alone, Lilly!
Lilly shoved her little sister away and stalked away from the stable.
Catherine: I wasn't spying! *sniffles*
Brian: Pay her no mind, Cath. She will be gone soon enough.
Cat tiptoed down the hallway, entered the family room and hid behind a chair. Her parents argued within.
Brionne: I want her gone, James!
James: She is leaving tomorrow, Brionne. Lilly is the HIS problem now.
Brionne: You only solve one problem by creating another!
James: It is done, wife!
Brionne: What about our other daughter, James? You traded Catherine's future without a thought to her!
James: You worry overmuch, wife! You wanted Lilliane gone! This is the means!
Brionne: You had better hope Gabriel doesn't discover the truth, James. He will not take kindly to what you have done.
Cat crept away from the hallway. She was confused.
Cat watched the next morning as Lilly departed. Lilly wore her best hat. Inwardly, she boiled with rage. Her stepmother had found the means to be rid of her, and sooner than planned. Lilly was stiff as she hugged her father goodbye. James did not see the fury in his daughter's eyes. Her look of pure hatred was unmistakable.
