Her sister is their parents' golden child, while she's the unwanted one. One day, her sister got an opportunity to be a big name, and the cost was to sleep with an old man. Her sister got reluctant, so their parents forced Lily to replace the sister as they believed her sister deserved a better man. Lily was drugged and ended up sleeping with a stranger. However, a twist of fate came to her, and she couldn't believe herself when her family threw her out on the street for not sleeping with the old man. This led Lily to the question: who exactly did she sleep with that night? And how would she locate him to give him the bad news she has?
View MoreNoahAs I stepped out of the hospital, the crisp air of the evening enveloped me, but my mind was far from the refreshing breeze. Lily's health had become my paramount concern, her fragile state weighing heavily on my conscience. I made sure to reiterate to the doctors and nurses the importance of monitoring her condition closely, leaving explicit instructions before I even reached for my phone.With a sense of urgency, I dialed my brother Ethan's number. Each ring felt like an eternity as I anxiously waited for him to pick up. Finally, on the third ring, he answered, his voice crisp and focused."Noah, what's the situation?" Ethan's tone was businesslike, devoid of any superfluous pleasantries."We've got a problem," I began, my words rushed and tense. "Natalie's been compromised. She's been working against us and I fear that she’s been working with our enemies."There was a pregnant pause on the other end of the line before Ethan responded, his voice laced with controlled fury."Dam
LilyAs I slowly began to regain consciousness, my mind felt foggy, like trying to piece together a puzzle with missing pieces. The first thing that escaped my lips, barely a whisper, was "Natalie." It was reflexive, instinctual almost, like a reflex triggered by the chaos around me. Natalie, my estranged sister, the one who had turned her back on our family long ago, leaving behind a trail of hurt and betrayal.As I struggled to make sense of my surroundings, I realized I was in a car, the dull hum of the engine vibrating through the metal frame but something was off. There was tension in the air, a palpable sense of danger that sent shivers down my spine. And then it hit me, like a sledgehammer to the chest - we were under attack.Through the haze, I could hear voices, muffled and distant at first, like echoes in a cave but as my senses sharpened, the words became clearer, slicing through the confusion like a knife. They were arguing, shouting even, their voices filled with anger an
Noah“Make sure that these financial reports get to him by this afternoon so we can begin with the launch,” I instructed my assistant.“Yes sir, would there be anything else?” she asked.“No-”My words were cut off by my phone ringing so loudly I was startled a bit because I sure as hell didn’t expect that at all.“You can go,” I said.Glancing at the caller ID, I realized that it was my brother, Ethan calling and immediately, my heart rate spiked up just seeing his name on my phone. Ethan never called except it was on very rare occasions. He preferred to text and that was on rare occasions also so seeing his name on my screen now was something I sure as hell didn’t expect.“Ethan,” I said coolly as I picked up the phone on the fourth ring.My heart raced as I heard the urgent tone in Ethan's voice through the receiver. The ringing phone pierced the quiet of my office, disrupting the rhythm of my workday."Noah!" Ethan's voice exploded from the other end of the line, raw with panic an
LilyAs I trailed behind the wheel, heading to the market one afternoon, little did I expect the scary turn of events that was about to unfold. The sun cast its warm glow through the windshield, creating a sense of serenity that belied the chaos lurking just around the corner. I sat in the passenger seat, contemplating my shopping list, oblivious to the impending danger that would soon shatter the tranquility of the moment.Suddenly, a deafening crash jolted me from my reverie as our car was violently struck from behind. My heart leaped into my throat as I clung to the armrest, my stomach churning with fear. Before I could process what was happening, armed men emerged from the vehicle that had rear-ended us, their faces obscured by masks as they brandished their weapons menacingly.“What the hell is that?”Panic surged through me as the reality of the situation sank in. I could hear my own frantic heartbeat echoing in my ears as I struggled to make sense of the chaos unfolding around
NoahAs I stepped into the house, the familiar scent of home enveloped me, bringing a sense of comfort after a long day at work but before I could even kick off my shoes, Monica and Chris practically pounced on me, their eager faces demanding to know every detail of my encounter with Noah."Lily, spill the beans! What went down with Noah?" Monica's voice was filled with anticipation, her eyes wide with curiosity."Yeah, we need all the juicy details!" Chris chimed in, his grin matching Monica's enthusiasm.I couldn't help but laugh at their eagerness, shaking my head in amusement. "Seriously, guys, nothing happened. It was just a regular meeting."Monica's eyebrows shot up in disbelief. "Come on, Lily, don't hold out on us! We know there's more to it than that."Chris nodded vigorously, his expression practically pleading. "Yeah, spill the tea! Did he say anything? Did you catch him staring? Give us something!"I chuckled, feeling a warmth spread through me at their genuine interest.

LilyAs I found myself enveloped in Noah's comforting embrace, a sense of security washed over me, calming the storm of emotions that had been raging within me since the revelation of my true identity. His arms around me felt like a shield against the world, a sanctuary where I could be vulnerable and exposed without fear.With my head nestled against his chest, I listened intently to his words, his heartbeat a steady rhythm beneath my ear."It's going to be okay, Lily," Noah murmured softly, his voice a soothing balm to my frayed nerves."We'll get through this together."I nodded against him, my heart swelling with gratitude for his unwavering support. Despite the turmoil swirling around us, there was a sense of calmness in his presence that anchored me to the present moment."I know this is a lot to take in," Noah continued, his fingers gently stroking my hair. "But I need you to understand that we can't let anyone else know about this. It's too dangerous."His words sent a shiver
NoahI watched in a mix of frustration and resignation as Natalie barged into my house, her presence filling the room with a tense energy that I could practically taste. There was a time when her sudden appearances would have filled me with a rush of conflicting emotions—maybe excitement, maybe annoyance, maybe both. But now, after everything that had happened between us, it was mostly just exhaustion.She didn't even wait for me to speak, instead marching over to a chair and plopping down in it with a huff, her eyes boring into mine with an intensity that made it hard to look away.“Okay, Noah," she started, her voice sharp with accusation, "care to explain why you've been dodging my calls and texts like I'm some kind of nuisance?"I sighed, running a hand through my hair as I tried to gather my thoughts. How could I explain to her what she didn't seem to understand? That things between us had changed, irreparably so, and that no amount of forced conversation would fix that. But look
LilyAs Noah and I settled down at the table to eat the food he had prepared, I couldn't help but admire the spread before us. The aroma wafting from the dishes made my mouth water, and I couldn't wait to dig in. Noah had put so much effort into cooking tonight, and it showed in every detail."You really outdid yourself, Noah," I said, smiling at him as I picked up my fork. "Everything looks amazing."Noah grinned, his eyes sparkling with pride. "Thanks, Lily. I wanted to make something special for us tonight."I took a bite of the food, savoring the flavors that exploded in my mouth. "Wow, this is delicious! You've really got some serious skills in the kitchen."Noah chuckled, his cheeks flushing slightly. "I'm glad you think so. I've been practicing a lot lately.""Well, it's definitely paying off," I replied, reaching across the table to squeeze his hand. "I feel like I'm dining at a five-star restaurant."Noah's smile widened, and he leaned forward, his gaze locked with mine. "You
