I was sure whoever called me to the office wasn’t Grey. He was away on a business trip today, and there was no way he could return soon. He had told me he would be away for a week. Could it be Ash? A member of his family?I took a deep breath and went to the office to find out. When I reached Grey’s office, I knocked on the door before entering. When I opened the door, I found Elizabeth Bradford inside, holding a document in her hand. Grey was the owner of the hotel because his grandmother had given it to him before she died. Elizabeth helped manage the hotel when Grey was not around.Despite my shock, I kept my emotions to myself while maintaining a straight face. It had been almost a month since the last time I saw Elizabeth, and I wondered why she called me. “Good morning, Ma’am,” I greeted her politely, the way an employee treats her superiors. Elizabeth didn’t like me, and I didn’t like her either, so that made us even. But I had to be respectful to her because she was still my

Sophia Phoenix, heiress of the Phoenix family—one of the wealthiest families in the country—sat like a queen in her swivel chair inside the expansive conference room. Her beautifully pink-painted fingernails repeatedly brushed the soft strands of her luscious ebony black hair as she eyed the door nervously.Philip Phoenix, her husband, a business magnate and owner of Phoenix, the most valuable car company in the world, sat beside her. She and Philip had been together for twenty-four years, the same age their daughter would be if she were still alive.The stiff expression on her husband’s face mirrored her own as they both waited for their visitor to arrive.She eyed the door once more and sighed.The private investigator she hired hadn't arrived yet, but she knew he would be here soon. They had agreed to meet in the conference room of the hotel her family owned at nine a.m. sharp. She checked her wristwatch and saw it was still eight-thirty. She still had to wait another half hour bef

“It's really Lilibeth,” Sophia breathlessly mumbled under her breath. She wiped the tears from her eyes with the handkerchief Philip had handed her.“We finally found her after twenty-four years,” her husband whispered. Tears clouded his vision as he surveyed the woman in the photograph. He, too, wanted to cry, but he stopped himself from doing so. He had never cried before, and he wouldn't cry now in front of a stranger.“Look how beautiful she is, Philip.” Her voice cracked as she stared at her daughter, who had been missing for twenty-four years. She felt like crying again, but she swallowed the lump in her throat and pushed the tears at bay.“Indeed, she's beautiful,” her husband agreed with a tender smile on his lips. Philip was a man of few smiles. His smile was like a diamond—rare and expensive—but now, for the first time in his life, he was smiling from ear to ear. “She has your phoenix eyes and heart-shaped face,” he added proudly.Sophia and Philip both stared at the woman w

The private investigator left the room minutes ago after the meeting ended, but Sophia and Philip remained in their swivel chairs, overwhelmed that they had finally found their one and only daughter who had been missing for so many years. The information they learned about their daughter's life still shook them, but it couldn't surpass the happiness in their hearts learning that she was still alive and was almost within their reach.“It’s about time we tell our sons about their missing sister,” Sophia told her husband.“We can't tell them yet until we find Lilibeth,” Philip responded.After some consideration, Sophia realized her husband was right. They should find Lilibeth first because telling the boys about their sister while she was still missing would only break their hearts. Sophia had kept the truth from them for twenty-four years because she didn't want them to get hurt. She, too, wasn't sure if Lilibeth was still alive and kept her a secret from their sons because it was the

The constant beep of my alarm clock jolted me out of a deep slumber. Grunting, I sleepily fumbled for the alarm on top of the bedside table with my eyes still closed and turned it off. The peace in my room returned, and I let my head fall back onto the pillow so I could continue sleeping. But the bright rays of the sun permeating my window completely made my sleepiness disappear in an instant.What time is it? I grumbled. Slightly, I opened my eyes to check the time on the clock, then realized it was already ten in the morning. Shock hit me like a sharp bolt of lightning, and I abruptly got up from the bed.“I'm late for work!” I gasped, throwing the blanket aside as I jumped off the bed to put my slippers on.An unfamiliar small bedroom, cramped with unopened boxes, greeted my sight, and reality finally sank in.I don’t have a job. They fired me.The thought made my high spirits sink to the floor. Aside from losing my job, the source of my bread and butter, I lost my precious house t

I let myself cry until the weight on my chest eased a bit. Crying would make me feel better, but I reminded myself it would be the last time I’d ever cry again. Bad things happened to me all at the same time, and I needed to release the stress I’d been keeping within me for weeks. I cried because Mom's gone, Celine's gone, my house is gone, and now Grey would be gone from my life too.Why would you hold on to a man who doesn't love you? A voice inside my head told me. If he wants a divorce, then give him what he wants and move on with your life, the voice added sternly. Deep within me, I knew I should do exactly that. Let go.I'll never be happy unless I let go of the things that make me sad. Grey is at the top of the list of things that make me unhappy. The only way to redeem myself is to sign the divorce papers and move on with my life.After the turmoil inside me subsided, I wiped the tears off my cheeks and got up from the bed. I didn't want my eyes to be red and puffy when I face

Are they looking for the owner of the house? If yes, is it me, the old owner they're looking for, or are they searching for the new one? The questions lingered in my thoughts even after I turned the engine on and drove in the direction where the sleek Lamborghini had gone. I felt bothered by those questions because if they were searching for me, then it must be important—so important that they went to the house themselves instead of sending someone else to do the job.But then a reasonable part of my brain told me I didn't know the couple, so they were probably not looking for me at all. With that thought in mind, my worries faded, and I shifted my attention to the steering wheel.There was a beep from my phone, which was lying on the dashboard. I glanced at it just in time to see a message pop up. It was from the lawyer, informing me he was already waiting in the restaurant. His early appointment had been canceled, so he decided to head straight to our meeting place.I pressed on the

Speaking of the devil, my soon-to-be ex-husband was calling. Pressing my lips tightly into a thin line, I pressed the answer button none too gently. However, before I could express the bubbling rage within me, someone spoke before I could. A female voice! The realization made my forehead scrunch in confusion.“Why are you calling my boyfriend? Are you one of his obsessed stalkers?” a woman’s complaining voice pierced my ears. I inched the phone away from my ear to save my eardrum from her sharp tongue.Who the hell am I talking to? I asked myself, wondering if she had called the wrong number. I glanced back at my phone screen and saw Grey's number flashing right in front of my eyes. Definitely, she hadn't called the wrong number. I thought to myself in growing irritation.This is not good! My brain warned me. When Grey is involved, nothing good comes out of it.“May I know who I'm speaking to?” I asked politely, despite the urge to scream in her ears too.“His girlfriend! I saw your n

**ONE YEAR LATER**Days had turned into weeks, weeks had turned into months, and the months had turned into a full year, but the bouquet of flowers, boxes of chocolates, and romantic letters never stopped coming. Not even for a single day in the entire year.With the amount of effort Grey had put into his courtship, it was hard not to soften and fall for him even more—especially when he visited home every single day to continue what he called “courtship service,” which included being a gardener, a car repairman, an electrician, a plumber, and sometimes a cleaner.I once told him it wasn't necessary for him to do anything like that since we are in modern times. Men no longer woo women and their families by doing house chores, but Grey was stubborn and wouldn’t stop. He told me it was his way of showing respect and dedication to me as his wife, so I allowed him to continue what he was doing and just enjoyed the moment while he was at it.After his ceaseless dedication, Grey's hard work

A few seconds later, the soft voice coming from the bed made Grey and me abruptly pull away from each other so we could look at the bed. We both saw our son looking at us. My heart jumped, and I immediately went to Dylan’s side and grabbed his hand.“Mama.” It was the first word that came from his lips. The sound of his voice made my heart swell with joy. Despite being away from me for years, he had never forgotten that I was his mother. I was so happy that tears welled in my eyes. From looking at me, Dylan’s eyes shifted to his father. He opened his small mouth and, in a soft voice, mumbled, “Papa.”Grey's throat moved as he swallowed hard. I could tell by the way he sucked in a deep breath that he was trying to contain his emotions. “Yes, my little boy, papa is here,” Grey replied, his voice thick with emotion as he spoke. Crossing the small distance between him and the bed, he gently pulled Dylan into his arms. He was trying his best not to burst into tears, but his eyes clearly sh

“For our children, Lily,” he replied, looking me straight in the eyes.For our children… Yeah, for Isabelle and Dylan… But was that enough reason for me to stay? I thought to myself, wanting to actually hear him say that he wanted me to stay with him because he loves me.Grey continued, “I know if you leave, you will take the children with you, and God only knows how long it will be before you return here so Dylan and Isabelle could be with me again. I know I could visit them anytime if you're in Europe, but it wouldn't be enough for me because I want to be with them all the time… I want them to have a complete family, which I never experienced in my life.” His eyes filled with even more emotion as he said those words.Even though I never experienced having an absentee father and an abusive stepmother raising me, I knew that it wasn't easy. To say it was hard was an understatement. Perhaps ‘hell’ would be the right word to describe the situation.Grey had the luxury that everyone want

The room was quiet and still, and for a moment, I thought I was alone. However, when I opened my eyes, I saw that my whole family was inside the room. The only one missing was my grandmother, Leilani, who I bet wasn’t allowed to leave the house considering the time of the night. Slowly, I got up from the sofa. As I did so, I cast a brief glance at the wall clock and was actually surprised to see that it was past three in the morning, which meant I had slept for a straight two hours. Feeling refreshed despite the short hours of sleep, I felt somewhat relaxed, and as the rollercoaster events of last night rushed into my thoughts, I realized how surreal it felt, as though what had happened was only a dream.My gaze surveyed the room, looking for Grey, but he was not inside Dylan’s room.“Lily,” my mom called after she finally noticed I was awake. Everyone in the room looked at me, and they all wore the same worried expression on their faces. I bit my lower lip at the sudden rush of guilt

Grey said nothing. I expected he would snap and lash out at me for keeping the truth from him all this time, but his silence was the reaction I didn't expect. The lack of reaction on his handsome face filled my chest with tension. I would rather see him angry and furious than see that blank expression on him.I held my breath, waiting for him to say something, but even after a minute passed, he didn't open his lips. The only sound I could hear was the hum of the monitor and the thunderous sound of my heartbeat as I prayed he would express how he felt.Please speak… Get mad at me… Lash out at me… Those were the words I wanted to tell him, but I couldn't let them escape my lips.The silence that seemed to go on forever was shattered when he finally opened his lips. “Why did you keep the truth from me, Lily?”His achingly soft voice left a sting in my heart. I bit my lower lip, folded my hands in my lap, and kept the tears from falling down my cheeks as I replied, “It was the best thing

The police finally arrived. Too tired to even move, I stayed in my place. I didn't know how long I'd been seated on the ground until I heard footfalls approaching behind me. Without looking back, I knew it was Grey. I just knew it was him.“Lily?” His soft voice confirmed my assumption, and he pulled to a stop beside me, kneeling on the ground. I raised my tear-streaked eyes to him and saw panic and fear shining through his hazel-green eyes.“Is Dylan alright?” The words barely emerged from his lips. He looked at me with a wretched expression on his face. That must have been the same look on my face when I first thought Dylan was gone.“He's still weak, but Dylan is alright, Grey,” I replied, warm tears flowing down my cheeks in abundance.Grey slumped beside me. The weight he seemed to carry heavily on his shoulders disappeared as he let go of the breath he wasn't aware he was still holding. His hands covered his face, and he stayed that way for a while.“Grey?” I called weakly, wond

Ash landed on the floor, groaning in pain, blood leaking from the grievous wound in his right shoulder. He thrashed and cursed under his breath as he struggled to stop the bleeding, but the pressure he applied wasn't enough to stem the crimson liquid from flowing.All the while, my hawk-sharp eyes remained fixed on him. Just in case he tried to attack or escape, I'd shoot him—not in the shoulder this time, but somewhere more fatal so he wouldn't be able to move again. My fingers were cold and shaking, yet I didn't move the gun away from him for a second, fearing he would take the chance to grab the weapon from me and reverse the situation.“Untie yourself, Grey,” I told him. My eyes remained locked on Ash as I removed the ring from my finger and tossed it to where Grey was seated. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw him pick up the ring, push the button, and the dagger popped up. He began to cut the rope with the small dagger. “Damn, how did you manage to cut the rope with this?” he mu

The shot reverberated inside the room, mingled with the sound of my own horrified scream. I closed my eyes and waited for the pain to strike. I even expected blood to flow from my injury, but there was nothing. Counting a few more seconds, still nothing happened. No wound and no pain. Reluctantly, my eyes opened, and I found Ash looking at me with a sinister grin on his face. The terror he saw in my expression pleased him in a horrible way. He crossed the distance between us and pressed the muzzle of the gun against my temple.The moment the cold, hard metal touched my skin, terror swelled inside me until it grew to the size of a monster. I could barely breathe. Without looking in Grey's direction, I knew he was feeling the same way, watching the gun pressed against my temple. The deafening sound of my heartbeat resounded in my ears, and I wondered if the two men could hear it too. Perhaps they couldn't at all, but I felt as though the world had stopped turning, and the only sound I c

My lips began to tremble. The deafening sound of my heartbeat resounded in my ears. This isn't happening, I told myself as my gaze remained locked on Natalia's dead body, which resembled a pale mannequin. She sat upright on the sofa, her long hair cascading down her shoulders and falling to her lap where her fingers were crossed. She looked alive and dead at the same time. I even tried convincing myself that it wasn't her, that it was just a mannequin, but I couldn't fool myself.I swallowed deep and hard. My eyes snapped shut. I counted to ten, then opened my eyes again, but she didn't disappear, which I had expected. She looked so real, and the thought alone sent shivers down my spine because I knew I would end up just like her if I didn't escape from my captor.“Holy shit,” Grey hissed under his breath in pure disbelief as he finally managed to get up and followed my gaze. “It's Natalia… It's not a mannequin like I thought at first,” he added, confirming my biggest fear. I was stil
