Lily slept through the night having nightmares of what had happened earlier that day.
It was the same dream played over and over again, she kept seeing her aunt and uncle trapped in their building as she watched them burn alive.
Lucien stood outside the building laughing menacingly as he watched them burn.
"I told you, didn't I? No one crosses my path and lives to tell the tale, no one!" Lucien laughed on like a madman.
Lily turned to see her family crying for help, she ran towards them to open the door and save them from the fire.
But whenever she would try to get to the door, she would hear a gunshot. She would turn to see Lucien holding a gun pointing at her, she would then look down to see that he had shot her.
"Rest now, Wildflower." Lucien would say before watching Lily slump to the ground.

Lily sprung up from the bed, she was covered in sweat her heart beating fast like she had just finished a marathon.
Lily looked around to see that she was all alone in the room, she was shocked to realize it was all a dream.
'Why did it feel so real?' Lily asked as she looked around the room, she spotted clothes on the bed.
Lily didn't know what she was to expect, all the clothes she saw on the bed were pretty, she was not sure who it was for and she was alone in the room. Lily picked up the clothes on the bed, she was too stunned to even think of anything to say at the moment knowing that they might not be hers to wear.
Lily went close to the clothes to see a note on them. It read, 'For the new daughter-in-law of the Rosario family.'
Lily was shocked to see that it was for her and it was all pretty, she didn't even want to imagine that there was a chance she was going to wear something like that. It felt different to her but she was not going to walk out the door in a torn wedding dress.
"Okay, I need to get down from this room, so I need to dress up and... " Lily was interrupted by a knock on the door. She turned to see Granny Ophelia. She was startled to see her standing there, now in her torn wedding dress.
"I expected to see you here alone, but it is you I wanted to see," Granny walked into the room, she was looking at Lily she didn't sound or look like someone ready to cause a problem that would go beyond words to fix.
"You wanted to see me?" Lily stuttered as she looked at the woman inside the room.
Lily didn't say anything but looked at Ophelia as she walked close to the clothes on the bed.
Granny Ophelia touched the clothes before she let out a deep sigh. "I know you almost ran away from the wedding,"
Lily was shocked when she heard Ophelia say those words as if she came to continue from where Lucien stopped.
"Byt seeing you arrive gave me hope to continue with what we were doing, I know you were angry when your father told you about the arrangements to marry my grandson, but you see our families go way back. So in a way, he wanted to pay his respect to us."
Ophelia was looking at Lily, she didn't know why but it felt a bit calm to stand in front of the girl, she took out her hand and placed it on her cheek.
"Please, whatever may happen, stand by his side and make sure that nothing will make you leave him," Granny Ophelia had a calm smile on her face, it was like she was pleading with Lily to make sure that there was no way she would leave Lucien.
Lily could feel the love Ophelia had for Lucien, it was a motherly love and it was something normal.
"I promise Granny, I will make sure that there is no way anything would make me leave him," Lily looked at the woman, she was not going to be able to say anything to harm her feelings.
Ophelia smiled, she turned and was about to exit the room with a smile on her face. "I know you will make sure that he is always smiling, I know you will be the one to change his life."
With that Ophelia left the room, she was not trying to bug Lily out all day she wanted to talk to her daughter-in-law. Lily stood there a bit shocked by the whole situation, she thought that the entire family would be filled with brutes who would try to hurt her.
'So not all of them are harmful beasts, I could have sworn that they were all the same thing. Well I might have been wrong,' Lily said as she turned to the bed, she looked at her phone to see that the time was 10:57 A.M.
"Ah shoot, I have to leave here on time," Lily said to herself she turned to the bed, grabbed a dress from the bed, and rushed into the bathroom. She wanted to get ready, but it was already running late and she had other things to do.
Lily finished on time, she dressed up and left the mansion, the moment she stepped out she could see that there were gardens all over the yard. The Rosario Mansion, she had always imagined it to be something more of hell but it was peaceful and it looked like it was filled with life.
She stepped down and was heading for the gate when someone called out for her.
"Madam, aren't you going to take a car?"
Lily turned to see a butler looking at her, she was confused she didn't understand what the butler meant. "Excuse me, I don't own a car," Lily said rather quietly.
"Nonsense, Lord Lucien said you could take anything you want in the entire mansion, what belongs to him belongs to you." The butler said looking at Lily, he could see the surprised look on Lily's face.
'But he knows I am not Vivan, why is he doing all this?' Lily was trying to understand what Lucien was trying to do.
She looked around and spotted a black Audi, she walked over to it.
"Marvelous choice madam, here are the keys." the butler threw Lily the keys to the car, he smiled then headed inside.
Lily still a bit stunned didn't know what was going to happen, she then entered the car and drove off.
She made her way to the Sunlit Cafe, she looked at her phone once more and saw the time was 12 pm on the dot. She got out of the car after parking it, she then slowly walked to a table with a lady dressed a sky blue sitting there, she had a cup of coffee on her table and she had shades on.
"You arrived early, I thought you would be here by 1." The lady said with a smile on her face, Lily sat down there looking at the lady.
"We both know you would leave the second it is 1 pm," Lily said in a low tone, she was trying to make sure she would get to have a little chat with the lady. "You called out of the blue, do you have anything for me?"
The lady took a sip of coffee, she looked at Lily she had a weird smile on her face. "First of all, I want to congratulate you on your wedding Vivian Rosario, or should I say Lily Rosario?" The lady had a smile on her face, she noticed that Lily was not smiling.
"Not doing it for ya? Well, I have an important message from headquarters, Lily, or should I call you Agent Nightsprig?" The lady had a huge smile on her face when she called a code name that made Lily feel a bit uneasy.
"Why in the world did you call me out here Twilight? Please get to the point," Lily asked looking at the woman, she was not in the mood to ask more questions.
The lady threw a file on the table, lily looked at it and was a bit confused.
"What is this?" Lily was looking at the woman as she took another sip of her coffee, she was not sure what she was looking at.
"That there in your hands are the names of all the head Mafia families in DravenPort, HQ wants you to eradicate them, I know the first name on the list won't be a problem," Twilight said looking at Lily with a smile.
Lily opened the list, and her heart skipped a beat when she saw on top boldly highlighted her husband's name. Lucien Rosario.
