Lily

I couldn't believe it. I stood there, replaying the conversation over and over in my mind, each time feeling more foolish than the last. Natalie, with her half-hearted apology, had somehow wormed her way back into my life, and I had been too weak to resist. It wasn't that her words were particularly convincing or that she had shown any genuine remorse. No, it was more about my inability to stand firm, to protect myself from her toxic influence. I felt a rush of frustration, mingled with a sense of betrayal—not by her, but by myself. How could I have let this happen?

Noah was my rock through it all. As I stood in the kitchen, staring blankly at the counter, he came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Lily, you know she doesn't mean it," he whispered, his breath warm against my ear. "You can't let her back in. She doesn't have your best interest at heart."

I sighed, leaning back into his embrace. "I know, Noah. But it's hard. She used to not only be my sister but my

    Noah As I walked into my office building that morning, I felt an uneasy tension hanging in the air. The usual hum of conversation and the rhythmic tapping of keyboards seemed overshadowed by a heavy silence. I nodded to a few familiar faces, their forced smiles doing little to mask the underlying anxiety. It was then that my secretary, Emily, approached me, her eyes wide with panic. She clutched the work iPad tightly, her knuckles white. "Noah, you need to see this," she said, her voice trembling. I took the iPad from her and glanced at the screen, my stomach sinking as I read the headline of the email displayed there: "Urgent: Confidential Information Leak." I scrolled through the message, my mind racing. The email detailed a massive data breach, sensitive company information exposed to the public. This was catastrophic. I felt a surge of anger and disbelief. "Emily, who sent this?" I demanded, my voice sharper than intended. She shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes. "We

  • Accidentally Pregnant For My Sister’s Fiancé    I don’t know what I’ll do without you.

    LilyThat morning, as the first light of dawn filtered through the curtains, casting a soft glow across the room, I reached for my phone on the nightstand. I saw Noah's name flashing on the screen, and a sense of unease settled in my chest. Noah rarely called this early, especially not on a weekday. I swiped to answer, my voice still thick with sleep."Noah? Is everything okay?" There was a pause on the other end, and in that silence, my heart started to race. I could hear the faint sound of his breathing, rapid and shallow, a clear sign of his distress."Lily," he finally said, his voice strained and restless, "I don't know how to tell you this, but something's happened." My mind raced with possibilities, each one more terrifying than the last.I sat up in bed, my pulse pounding in my ears. "Noah, you're scaring me. What's going on?" I asked, trying to keep my voice calm despite the growing panic inside me. He sighed heavily, and I could almost picture him running a hand through his

  • Accidentally Pregnant For My Sister’s Fiancé    Don’t think this is over.

    Ethan I had been observing Natalie for some time now, and it was becoming increasingly clear that her excesses were spiraling out of control. Her behavior was erratic, her choices reckless, and the way she treated people—especially those closest to her—was beyond unacceptable. It wasn’t just a matter of her making poor decisions; it felt like she was on a path of self-destruction, and I couldn’t stand by and watch it happen any longer. Every time I saw her, it seemed like she had found a new way to push the boundaries of what was acceptable, and it was taking a toll on everyone around her, including me. I had always prided myself on my ability to handle difficult situations with a level head, but Natalie was testing my limits. I was sitting in my car, gripping the steering wheel, and replaying the events of the past few weeks in my mind. The way she had spoken to me last night, the careless disregard in her eyes, and the utter lack of remorse—it was all too much. I knew I had to d

  • Accidentally Pregnant For My Sister’s Fiancé    I can’t take it anymore.

    LilyI couldn’t take it anymore. The constant nagging thoughts about Natalie and her reckless behavior, the way our parents continued to enable her despite the clear destruction she was causing, it was all becoming too much for me. The final straw came when I heard from Monica that Natalie had been involved in yet another incident, causing harm not only to herself but to others as well. How could our parents just sit back and watch? I decided then and there that I needed to confront them. I needed answers.I drove to their house, my mind a whirlwind of emotions. I barely remembered the drive itself; all I could focus on was the conversation that awaited me. I pulled up to the familiar driveway, taking a moment to gather my thoughts before heading to the front door. Memories of growing up in this house flooded back, but they were overshadowed by the urgency of the present situation. I rang the doorbell, my heart pounding.When my mother opened the door, she seemed surprised to see me.

  • Accidentally Pregnant For My Sister’s Fiancé    What’s going on?

    Noah I was deep into a report, the kind that made my eyes glaze over and my mind wander to more pleasant thoughts, like Lily and our baby. The monotony of the workday was suddenly broken when my phone buzzed on my desk. I glanced at the screen, my secretary's name lighting up. Oddly, she usually didn't call unless it was urgent. "Yes, Claire?" I answered, half-expecting a mundane request. Instead, her voice carried a hint of surprise and urgency. "Noah, your girlfriend is here. She says she needs to see you." I blinked, momentarily stunned. Lily never came to my workplace. It wasn't out of disinterest; she simply preferred to keep our worlds separate. I stood up, pushing my chair back with a screech. "Send her in," I said, my voice steadier than I felt. As I waited, I couldn't help but wonder what could have brought her here. The door swung open, and there she was, a mixture of anxiety and determination on her face. Her eyes locked onto mine, and I could see the worry etched in the

  • Accidentally Pregnant For My Sister’s Fiancé    Just… worried.

    LilyThe realization hit me like a ton of bricks. I knew I needed to be very careful with my movements from now on. The certainty that someone was following me sent chills down my spine. The worst part of it all was that Noah had no idea who it was. The unknown threat loomed large, making every step I took feel like walking on thin ice.I sat in my car for a few moments longer than necessary, taking deep breaths to calm my racing heart."It's okay, Lily. You've got this," I whispered to myself, though the words felt hollow. I glanced around, scanning for any signs of a suspicious figure or vehicle, but everything seemed normal. Still, the feeling of being watched persisted. I couldn't shake it off, no matter how hard I tried.Walking into the house, I felt a wave of relief wash over me as I locked the door behind me but it was short-lived. My mind was already racing with thoughts of what to do next. Should I tell Noah right away? How would he react? I knew he would be worried, maybe e

  • Accidentally Pregnant For My Sister’s Fiancé    A gut feeling.

    NoahI could see the worry etched on Lily’s face as she sat across from me, her eyes darting around the room, never settling on any one thing for too long. It broke my heart to see her like this, so anxious and unsettled. Ever since she told me about someone following her, I haven't been able to rest. The thought of someone lurking in the shadows, watching her every move, sent a chill down my spine. I leaned forward, trying to catch her eye.“Lily, love, you need to relax. I’ve got my men on it. They’re scouring every inch of this city to find out who’s behind this. I promise you, we’ll get to the bottom of this.”She finally looked at me, her eyes filled with worry and a hint of fear. “Noah, I can’t help but feel like something bad is going to happen. It’s not just about being followed. It’s this gut feeling I have, like there’s something more to it.”I reached across the table and took her hand in mine, squeezing it gently. “I understand, Lily and I hate not knowing who’s behind thi

  • Accidentally Pregnant For My Sister’s Fiancé    It’s only a matter of time.

    LilyI knew it was only a matter of time before Natalie got what she deserved. Growing up with her as my sister was nothing short of a nightmare. She was always the golden child, the one who could do no wrong in our parents' eyes but behind that angelic facade was a heart as cold as ice. She took every opportunity to belittle me, to make me feel small and worthless. I still remember the way she laughed when she cut up my favorite dress just before prom, or how she spread those vicious rumors about me in high school. The scars she left were deep, and though time had passed, they still ached with a dull, persistent throb.Now, as I watched her empire slowly crumble, there was a certain satisfaction in seeing her face the consequences of her actions. Karma, it seemed, had finally caught up with her. But even as I reveled in this moment, I knew that it wasn't the end of the road. Natalie was a master manipulator, always two steps ahead. She had a knack for turning situations to her advant

    LilyThe moment I walked up to the front door, a strange but exciting feeling bubbled up inside me. It was like my whole body was tingling with anticipation, even though I had no idea why. There was no reason for this giddy feeling, or at least none that I could see but something told me that I was about to walk into the most pleasant surprise of my life. I paused for a second before opening the door, letting the sensation wash over me, wondering what could possibly be waiting on the other side.As I stepped inside, the first thing I noticed was the soft, delicate petals of my favorite flowers—lilies—scattered all over the floor. They formed a beautiful, fragrant path leading further into the house. My heart skipped a beat as I took in the sight, my eyes wide with amazement. This was all too perfect, too magical. I followed the trail, my breath catching in my throat, my mind racing with possibilities.And then, I saw him—Noah, my love, my heart, my everything. He was there, at the end

  • Accidentally Pregnant For My Sister’s Fiancé    It is time.

    NoahI knew it was time. I could feel it in every beat of my heart, in the way my breath caught whenever Lily walked into the room, and in the way her laughter filled the empty spaces in my soul. We'd been through so much together—every trial, every challenge had only strengthened the bond we shared. There was no doubt in my mind that she was the one, my other half, the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. I had thought about it for a long time, turning the idea over in my mind, imagining the look in her eyes when I finally asked her that all-important question. But today, as I sat in the quiet of the morning, I knew there was no better time than now."Ethan," I called out, my voice trembling slightly as I walked into his room. He was sitting on the edge of his bed, scrolling through his phone, but he looked up at me immediately, sensing the seriousness in my tone. I hesitated for a moment, trying to find the right words to say. Ethan had always been my rock, my confidan

  • Accidentally Pregnant For My Sister’s Fiancé    A wonderful news.

    NoahI walked into my mother’s house that morning, the scent of freshly brewed coffee lingering in the air as Monica and Charles were engaged in their usual morning routine. Their eyes lit up when they saw me, a subtle reminder of how my presence could break the monotony of their workday.“Good morning, Noah!” Monica greeted me with a bright smile, her enthusiasm evident even before she glanced up from her paperwork.“Morning, Monica. Charles,” I said, acknowledging Charles with a nod. “I’ve got some important news. Lily and our daughter are coming back soon.”The room buzzed with a sudden wave of excitement. Monica’s eyes widened, and she quickly straightened her desk, the anticipation clear on her face.“Really? That’s wonderful news!” she exclaimed.“We’ve missed them so much. It’s been too long.”Charles, who had been quietly organizing files, looked up with a grin that spoke volumes. “It’s about time, Noah. We’ve been eagerly waiting for their return. The house isn’t the same wit

  • Accidentally Pregnant For My Sister’s Fiancé    You’ve always been my strength.

    LilyThe evening sun cast a warm, golden glow across the room as I sat by the window, my hands resting on my swollen belly. The baby kicked softly, a gentle reminder of the life growing inside me, a life that would soon be born into a world of peace and safety—thanks to Noah. I couldn’t help but smile as I thought about how much he had done for us, how he had moved mountains to ensure that I never had to face the nightmares that had once haunted my every waking moment. I knew I was safe, and that knowledge was a comfort I clung to with every fiber of my being.“Noah,” I whispered, my voice barely audible, as if saying his name would summon him. I could almost feel his presence, his unwavering strength, and the way he always seemed to know exactly what I needed, even when I didn’t know it myself. “You’ve given me everything I never knew I needed. How did I get so lucky?”It hadn’t been easy. I knew that. There were days when I could see the exhaustion in his eyes, the weight of the wor

    Noah The moment I stepped into the police station, the air felt thick with tension. The fluorescent lights flickered slightly, casting a cold, sterile glow over the room. My heart pounded in my chest, but I forced myself to remain calm. I knew what I had to do, and I wasn’t about to let my emotions betray me. As I approached the front desk, the officer on duty barely glanced up from his paperwork. "Name?" he asked in a monotone voice, as if he had done this a thousand times before. "Noah," I replied, my voice steady. "I'm here to speak with Detective Carter about Natalie." The officer finally looked up, his eyes narrowing slightly as if he recognized the name. "Wait here," he muttered before picking up the phone and making a quick call. Moments later, a tall man with graying hair and a stern expression emerged from a side door. Detective Carter. He gave me a once-over, his eyes lingering a little too long as if trying to read me before I even opened my mouth. "Noah," he said, his

    Lily As I rocked my baby to sleep, the rhythmic motion of the chair seemed to lull not just the little one but also my restless thoughts. The night was quiet, save for the soft, steady breathing of my child against my chest, but my mind was anything but calm. There was this gnawing feeling at the pit of my stomach, an unease that I couldn't shake off no matter how much I tried to convince myself that everything was fine. I hadn't heard from Noah in hours, which wasn't entirely unusual—he was a busy man, after all. But tonight, the silence felt different, more profound, like an omen hovering over me, warning me that something was off. I looked down at my baby, their innocent faces so peaceful, so unaware of the turmoil swirling inside me. I should be focusing on them, on this perfect moment, but instead, my thoughts kept drifting back to Noah. "He’s fine," I whispered to myself, almost as if saying it out loud would make it true. "He’s always fine." Yet, the words felt hollow, like

  • Accidentally Pregnant For My Sister’s Fiancé    I made sure of that.

    Ethan I was lounging on the couch, trying to unwind after a long day when my phone buzzed in my pocket. The screen lit up with Noah’s name, and a knot tightened in my stomach. We hadn’t spoken in a few days, and I could sense the urgency in his voice the moment I picked up. "Ethan," he said, skipping any formalities. His voice was steady, but I could hear the underlying tension. "Did you do what I asked? Did you hide all the evidence of Natalie’s disappearance?" I took a deep breath, trying to keep my voice calm and reassuring. "Yeah, Noah. I took care of everything. I made sure there’s no trace left behind. No one’s going to find anything." There was a brief silence on the other end, and I could almost picture Noah running a hand through his hair, a habit he had when he was deep in thought or worried. "Good," he finally said, though he didn’t sound entirely convinced. "But we’ve got a problem. The police... they’re snooping around. They’ve been asking questions, poking into pl

    Noah I was sitting in my office, the warm glow of the afternoon sun filtering through the blinds, casting long shadows across the room. The paperwork on my desk seemed never-ending, a constant reminder of the chaos Natalie had unleashed on my life. I had been trying to focus, to push all thoughts of her out of my mind, but the gnawing anxiety was hard to shake. My pen hovered over a document, the ink pooling at the tip as I paused, lost in thought. Just then, the door creaked open, and my secretary, a woman who rarely showed any emotion, stepped in with an unusually tense expression. I looked up, catching the tightness in her jaw, the way she hesitated for a fraction of a second before speaking. "Boss" she began, her voice steady but laced with something I couldn't quite place. "There are some policemen at the reception. They’re asking to see you in connection to the disappearance of... Natalie." The mention of her name sent a cold shiver down my spine, but I forced myself to rema

    Lily It had been a long day, and the quiet of the evening settled around me like a heavy blanket, reminding me of just how much I missed the familiar buzz of the office. With a sigh, I reached for my phone, my fingers instinctively finding Monica’s number. As the line rang, I felt a pang of homesickness wash over me, stronger than I had anticipated. The warmth of her voice when she answered immediately brought a smile to my face. “Lily! It’s so good to hear from you! We’ve all been missing you so much around here,” Monica’s voice was full of genuine enthusiasm, and I could almost picture her bright smile on the other end of the line. “Chris was just saying the other day how quiet the place has been without you.” I couldn’t help but laugh softly, the sound of her voice easing the tightness in my chest. “I miss you guys too, more than I can even say. It’s strange being away for so long. Sometimes I feel like I’m missing out on everything happening back at the office.” “We’re just c
