In the elevator, which was empty at the time, Lily sat down, hugging her knees and sobbing. Julian, Ethan, and Lucas were all friends. Her appearance in Julian's apartment, especially being seen by Lucas, meant he could easily deduce they had been intimate. Did that mean Ethan would find out? If he learned of her cold abandonment and her involvement with his friend, would he be disappointed in her?Lily felt a throbbing pain in her head. After leaving the apartment, she walked aimlessly. The midday sun was blinding, and she instinctively raised her hand to shield her eyes. The sunlight made her fingers appear translucent, revealing every bone. The owner of these hands once wished only to bear children for the man she loved, to care for her family, and to be a devoted wife and mother. Yet, even such a simple dream now seemed out of reach.She felt a momentary daze. Her mother often said that the Parkers had the temperament of scholars, which, in simpler terms, meant they were stubborn.

Not long after she returned, a courier delivered a brand-new phone. Lily recognized it from a massive advertisement in a mall. It was a top-of-the-line model, both in terms of features and design, making it exorbitantly priced. There was only one number saved in it. Naturally, who else could it be but Julian Sterling? Holding the phone, she felt as if she was holding a piece of molten rock, something that could destroy her with a mere touch. For three consecutive days, Lily didn't turn on the phone. She called home to tell her mother that her phone had been stolen and then spent her days in her dorm room, lost in thought. Aria found her behavior odd, but despite her inquiries, Lily remained silent, leaving Aria to respect her wishes. Who would want to revisit such a shameful and humiliating experience? Lily didn't want to think or do anything. She felt like a zombie. Every time she closed her eyes, she remembered the knowing look from the lady at the pharmacy when she picked up the m

Hearing her soft voice, Julian's expression eased a bit, and he even seemed a tad smug. "You should've said so earlier. Alright, let's go shoe shopping." They headed to the shoe section on the second floor. Lily Parker didn't genuinely intend to buy shoes, so she didn't fuss over her choice. She casually pointed to a pair, and Julian Sterling insisted she wear them immediately. She obediently changed into the new shoes, and to her surprise, felt a hint of happiness. Julian observed the faint smile on her flushed face, thinking she was happy because of him. His own smile broadened, and he impulsively bought several pairs of the season's latest sandals. He leaned in close, whispering warmly in her ear, "Look how beautiful you are when you smile. Don't always be so stubborn; it's unsettling. I'm actually quite easy-going, as long as you obediently listen to me." Lily responded with a docile smile, but internally, she found him laughable. How could such a despicable man feign kindness?

As per the schedule, the field trip group was set to visit the Wood Carving Mansion on the west side of the town today. It was said that during the Republic era, a favored concubine of a warlord had once lived there. The mansion also boasted a prized piano, which had everyone buzzing with excitement. They were all eager to feast their eyes on these historical treasures. However, Lily Parker felt an inexplicable unease, a sense of foreboding that she couldn't shake off. Using the excuse of feeling car sick, she decided to stay behind.Lily had barely lain down when she heard a knock on her door. Assuming it was Nathan Brooks, who had brought her some medicine earlier, she absentmindedly began speaking as she opened the door, "Nathan, is there something else?""Did you let that boy into your room?"The icy tone of the voice made Lily shiver involuntarily. Her first instinct was to shut the door, but how could her feeble strength match that of an enraged man?Julian Sterling quickly push

What did he mean by 'up to you'? This was clearly a veiled threat!Lily was so agitated she could barely breathe. She knew what he meant. Nathan Brooks and the others would only be at the wood carving tower for a couple of hours. What would they think if they came back and saw Julian Sterling? She could already imagine their judgmental stares. Would they talk behind her back, saying she was fickle and shameless?"Where are we going?" She finally relented, realizing she couldn't resist him.Julian, now resting with his eyes closed, replied languidly, "You'll know when we get there. My car is just outside the town."Lily Parker slumped her shoulders, feeling drained as she mechanically packed away her neatly arranged toothbrush and towel in the bathroom. Her mind was blank, unable to process anything.While she was tidying up, Julian Sterling silently watched her, his gaze lingering on her slender figure for a long time.When she had audaciously suggested they "clear things up" between

Wrapping his arm around Lily, Julian said with a smile, "This place is quieter and more rustic. The previous town was too commercialized, overcrowded. I couldn't tell if we were there to see people or the scenery. Didn't you find it stifling?"Lily thought to herself, *Anywhere without you would be paradise.*She remained silent, her face expressionless. Julian glanced at her coldly, leading her through the alleyways. In front of some old houses, locals set up stalls selling unique items from the town—embroidery, food, clothing, and more. As they passed a shop selling wooden clogs, they happened upon a young couple having a disagreement.The girl pouted, "I want to buy them! Walking on the wet stone paths after the rain in these would be so fun."The boy shook his head, "No. Haven't you heard? If a man gifts shoes to a woman, they'll drift apart. It's bad luck for the relationship. If you want them, buy them yourself."The girl immediately fell silent.Lily felt a dull pain in her wri

The hotel they were staying at was just outside the small town, a mere ten-minute walk. Naturally, they shared a room.Lily was incredibly anxious. Every time she was alone with him, she was reminded of that ruthless night, the heart-wrenching pain. She was on edge, and Julian, sensing her tension, darkened his gaze briefly before saying, "I'll shower first." He picked up a bathrobe and headed to the bathroom.His words terrified Lily, making her legs wobble. She wanted to flee, but where could she go? She was well aware that Julian's family had even more influence than Ethan Hart's. No matter where she ran, he would likely find her and bring her back, possibly subjecting her to further humiliation.She despised her own insignificance, her helplessness, her cowardice, and ab

In the dim light of dawn, Julian Sterling felt a chill. The comforting warmth that had lulled him to sleep was gone. Half-awake, he opened his eyes to find that Lily Parker was no longer nestled in his embrace. Instead, she was curled up on the edge of the bed, perilously close to falling off, as if she had erected a barrier between them. Displeased by the distance she had put between them, he impulsively pulled her back to his side. His pull wasn't forceful, and she didn't wake. She merely made a small noise of discomfort, scrunching her nose. In the process, the buttons of her pajamas had come undone, revealing a patch of delicate skin, as luminous as the finest white jade. He swallowed hard, unable to take his eyes off her. Any man who doesn't react to such a sight is either a saint or impotent.
