“My fiancée will be moving in before the week runs out but I'll give you the grace of today and tomorrow to leave my house.” Stefano barked, as I perused the divorce paper in disbelief. Cold shivers raced down my spine at his declaration and for a moment, I was spellbound as the realization that his true love was back, dawned on me. “Y-Your fiancée?” I stuttered. “But you have a wife. Me.” “Do you really think of yourself as my wife?” Stefano hurled. “You are nothing but a lazy pest and a fucking liability.” + Desperate for her father and stepmother’s affection, Lillian Baker agrees to marry Stefano Rodriguez to save her father’s dying business. In contrast to the blissful marriage she naively envisioned, Lillian is tossed into a miserable life as Stefano treats her like a doormat. Regardless, she is determined to win his heart and is elated when she finds out about her pregnancy, on valentine’s day. However, Stefano stuns her that evening with a divorce letter accompanied by an announcement of his wish to get married to his ex-girlfriend. Utterly devastated, she walks out of his life, without qualms. Five years later, she is now a talented chef who is invited to cater for the birthday party of a high profile woman, who happens to be Stefano’s grandmother. Can Lillian really put the past aside for the sake of her career? Can she also keep her triplet sons hidden from Stefano forever?

Divorce

Lillian's POV I smiled as I looked at the simmering pot of buffalo stew, my husband's favourite, on the gas cooker, before donning a pair of oven mittens. Opening the oven, I sighed blissfully as the delectable aroma of the chicken lasagna wafted into my nostrils. I could only hope Stefano would be pleased with these dishes that I had specially made to break the news of my pregnancy to him. Earlier today after a visit to the doctor, I found out that I was pregnant. I could already feel that our baby was going to be so loved, given how today was Valentine’s Day. A day of love. Three years ago at twenty one, I dropped out of culinary school and became Stefano's housewife to secure his investment in my father's company. To say those three years had been hell for me, was probably putting it tame. From the start of our union, both Stefano and his mother had given me little to no regard as his wife. Doris, his mother, had repeatedly told me that I was just a placeholder f...

A clear message
Lillian’s POV Inhaling shakily, I stared at my gaunt reflection in the mirror, as tears built up in my eyes for the umpteenth time that evening.My already visible collar bones had become even more noticeable within a few hours with visible bags under my eyes, and a pallor shade on my lips.I looked nothing like the Lillian that married Stefano three years ago.Fine, I had also been struggling back then but it wasn't as bad as this. At least, I used to have clients who I made food for in exchange for cash.I had gotten into culinary school on a government sponsored scholarship, as my father and stepmother had told me to my face that they had no money to sponsor me after high school.My passion for cooking had pushed me into entering a local cooking competition, which I won and also got the scholarship.On Stefano and my dad's orders, I had dropped out to be a housewife, and I knew the culinary school wouldn't take me back again.I had no idea how I was supposed to move on with my lif

An old friend
Lillian's POV Tears clogged my throat and blurred my vision as I packed my belongings into the same small suitcase that had accompanied me to Stefano's mansion on our wedding night.Darting one final look at the burgundy dress I wore last night, I heaved a shaky sign before closing the wardrobe.Zipping my old suitcase, which had belonged to my mum, I wiped my tears off, inwardly chiding myself for crying over an asshole like Stefano.Yesterday, after getting back from Stefano and Meryl's engagement party, the scales of idiocy fell down from my eyes and I realized just how stupid I had been for the past three years.If only I had never agreed to marry Stefano in the first place and had stood my ground, I would have graduated culinary school and would probably be living the life of my dreams.Cooking for people and making a living while at it.But like the spineless people pleaser that I was, I had done everything my father wanted, without thinking of my own happiness.Well, there was

London
Lillian's POV “We should land in London in the next three hours,” Nora divulged, as she took a bite of her cinnamon roll. “Wow,” I muttered, a wave of nausea suddenly hitting me as I inhaled the buttery aroma of the snack.Not now, baby. Taking a huge exhale, I reclined against my seat and caressed my belly. I couldn't believe how fast my life had changed in just five days.If someone had told me last week that I would be a divorcee on her way to London, this week, I would have laughed at them.But I guess that was one thing about life; it was very unpredictable.The day after I met Nora, I finally brought myself to reveal the news of my pregnancy to her, and she had pulled me into one of her comforting hugs in return, before reassuring me not to worry about a single thing.I was stunned when she handed me a visa and a flight ticket yesterday, and told me that we were leaving for London today. Nora had also told me that I could re-enroll in a culinary school after the baby was born

Admittance
FIVE YEARS LATERStefano’s POV“Welcome home, sir,” My butler, Gideon, greeted as I walked into the house.“Thank you, Gideon,” I replied, handing him my briefcase, a foreign feeling seizing my heart as I recalled the many times Lillian would welcome me at the door, her smile not fading for a single second even if I acted cold and rude to her.Pushing the weird, heavy feeling away, I trudged upstairs. As I undid my tie, my phone vibrated with a notification, and I retracted it from my pocket to see what it was.Vitriolic ire coursed through me in huge bursts as I gazed at the notification; a text message from my bank, informing me that Meryl had just spent five hundred thousand dollars of my money at a boutique.Squeezing the phone like it did something to me, I gritted my teeth before blocking the card.This was certainly what I deserved for treating Lillian like trash.I could still remember the despondent look in her eyes on the evening of mine and Meryl's engagement party, five y

A mouthwatering gig
FIVE YEARS LATERLillian’s POV “Table four wants a refill on the sauteed vegetables and fried potatoes,” A server, Annabel, said as she walked into the kitchen, holding am empty tray.“Okay, it's ready,” I said, turning off the gas then placing the pot on the table. Thereafter, I grabbed two clean plates from the dish rack and served the order, which Annabel placed on the tray before exiting the kitchen.Heaving a huge sigh, I leaned again the kitchen slab, the beads of perspiration on my forehead cooling away as cool, natural breeze from outside wafted into the kitchen.As I stared at the fascinating mural of various intercontinental dishes on the wall, my mind raced back to five years ago.I could still remember how hopeless I had been throughout my pregnancy, as I couldn't work, due to the doctor's strict order after I nearly miscarried at eight weeks.Although my best friend had done her best to make me cheerful, my pregnancy hormones made her efforts futile as I would always wo

A sudden move
Stefano’s POV“Have the memos stamped by the department in charge and send it to me before the day ends,” I said into the table microphone. “This meeting has ended.”“Yes, sir,” My employees chorused, and stood up before I did.Thereafter, I exited the conference room and made my way to my office. Sitting on my swivel chair, I buried my head in my hands as a sigh of despair exited me.It had been a solid month since I started looking for Lillian, and my efforts had been everything but fruitful.I couldn't help but wonder if Lillian had taken another form and had disappeared from the face of earth. I had even had Gregory hire private investigators across the globe to find her, but even that, had been futile.Heaving another despondent sigh, I sat up to peruse and review the barrage of paperwork on my desk.If I couldn't find my love, I might as well just throw myself completely into work.Just then, a knock came on the door, momentarily yanking me out of my train of thoughts.“Come in,

Disbelief
Lillian’s POV My eyes were playing games with me.Yes, that had to be the only explanation as to why my despicable ex husband, was hugging my client.Either that or I was having a nightmare.However, the moment Stefano pulled away from my client, Mrs Laughlin, and I didn't wake up from the nightmare doused in sweat, I realized that this was very much my reality.Today was only my first meeting with Mrs Laughlin and everything had already started going downhill.Clearing my throat, I looked away from Stefano, my heart scudding at his intense gaze, and moved closer to Mrs Laughlin.“Good afternoon, ma'am. I am Lillian Baker, from Watkins. ” I greeted her as Stefano helped her to sit.“Good afternoon,” She responded, her face creasing in a slight frown as she regarded me before recognition flashed across her eyes. “Oh, the wonderful spring rolls maker. I had your spring rolls at an event in Manchester some months back and they were the best I had ever had, so I knew I had to get you to

Irrelevant
Lillian’s POV “Tell me you're joking, Lillian,” Nora gasped, her hands covering her gaped mouth as she stared at me in shock.I had just finished narrating yesterday's events to her, specifically how I had met Stefano at Mrs Laughlin's place and how he turned out to be her grandson.She had gone on a work trip a week ago, and had just returned earlier today. Currently, we were at my apartment.“I wish I was, Nora,” I sighed. “But there's nothing I can do. I need the money for lots of stuff. I want to start looking into getting a small restaurant space for myself and the money I make from Mrs Laughlin's event would probably cover a whole lot of the cost.”Taking my hand in hers, Nora sighed. “But are you sure you can face him? You said the event is for a week and based on what Mrs Laughlin told you, it seems he's going to be here for a while. Can you handle being in the same proximity with him for a week?”Swallowing harshly, I shrugged. “I can. I will just think of him as one of the

Moment
Stefano’s POV“Good day, sir,” Gregory greeted from the other end of the line. “I've gotten some information on Miss Lillian.”Placing my phone on the nightstand, I put it on speaker before wearing my coat.“Good day, Gregory. Go on,” I responded. “Tell me what you've got.”“From what I know, Miss Lillian currently works as a head chef at Watkins, a five star restaurant in Trafford. She is also not married.” Gregory divulged, and a pleasant feeling of hope warmed my heart.That meant I still had a chance to win her back and make her mine to love and care for.If Lillian forgave me, I was prepared to kiss her feet or even the ground she walked on.I would worship her like the goddess she was and never treat her like I did in the past. I had learnt from my mistake and now knew what was right.Nowadays I found myself dwelling on the possibility of what would have happened if I had opened my heart to love Lillian or at least considered her human and not my servant.If I had given her the
