(Isaac’s POV).

Dropping Lily off after our time together left a strange warmth in my chest, something I hadn’t felt in a long time.

Seeing her laugh again, watching her eyes light up when she spoke to Ayla—it reminded me why I’d fought so hard to mend things between us.

As I turned the corner back to my mansion, the day's events replayed in my mind. Ayla’s small arms wrapped around me, her innocent giggles, and Lily’s hesitant but genuine smile were imprinted in my memory.

For a fleeting moment, I allowed myself to believe things were falling into place.

The relief, however, was short-lived.

The moment I stepped into the foyer, Emma, my ever-efficient secretary, was waiting for me.

Her posture was stiff, her expression a mix of concern and tension. Behind her stood Susan, her face pale, and another man whose presence immediately set me on edge.

“Emma,” I said, my voice firm, “what’s going on?”

Emma took a step forward, her gaze darting nervously toward Susan and the man a

    (Isaac's POV)."But I don’t accept your way, Susan! You’re making Lily misunderstand me!” My voice echoed through the room, raw with fury. My fists clenched at my sides as I glared at the man before me—a slimy coward who wouldn’t even look me in the eye. He stood there trembling, a pitiful excuse of a person who had dared to meddle in my life. The man flinched as I stepped closer, my rage barely contained. My hand balled into a fist, and for a split second, I imagined what it would feel like to teach him a lesson he’d never forget. But before I could follow through, Susan lunged forward, grabbing my arm. “Isaac, don’t!” she screamed, tears streaming down her face. “Please don’t hurt him!” I froze, my breath hitching. The room seemed to stand still as I stared at her—this woman who had caused so much chaos in my life. Her voice was desperate, shaking with fear. “Let me go,” I said through gritted teeth, shaking her off roughly but not enough to hurt her. “No!” she yelled,

    (Isaac's POV).“Ayla… Ayla is your daughter, Isaac.”The words rang out like a gunshot in the tense silence. My grip on the gun loosened, and my arm fell limply to my side. My forehead furrowed deeply, confusion swirling in my mind. My heart pounded violently in my chest as I fixed my gaze on Susan. Her pale, tear-streaked face offered no clues—only desperation and fear. “What did you just say?” I demanded, my voice sharp and disbelieving. Susan clasped her trembling hands together, her lip quivering as she held my gaze. “Ayla is your daughter,” she repeated, louder this time, her voice resolute despite the tears brimming in her eyes. A strange buzzing filled my ears, drowning out all sound. My grip tightened on the gun, though I had no intention of using it. “This… this isn’t funny, Susan,” I growled. “If this is some kind of sick joke—” “It’s not a joke!” she cried, stepping forward but halting as I instinctively raised the gun. She threw her hands up defensively. “I swe

    (Isaac’s POV).Lily's face lingered in my thoughts, her guarded eyes refusing to meet mine earlier. Why was she hiding the truth from me? What was she so afraid of? My mind churned with questions, the answers just out of reach, frustratingly elusive.But a sudden rustle pulled me out of my thoughts. I turned sharply, catching the faintest movement in the corner of my eye. Susan.She was inching toward the door, her footsteps tentative but determined. Her hand trembled as she reached for the handle.“Not so fast,” I growled, my voice cutting through the silence like a whip.Susan froze, her body stiffening before she bolted, making a desperate dash for the exit. Her heels clacked loudly against the floor, the sound echoing in the room like gunshots.With a sharp intake of breath, I lunged after her, catching her arm before she could escape.“Let me go!” she shrieked, her voice shrill and panicked. “Somebody help me!”Her screams filled the room, wild and piercing, but there was no one

    (Isaac’s POV)."The medicine is just enough to paralyze you for life, Susan. I told you—I’m helping you from running, isn’t it?"My words cut through the room, cold and deliberate. I stood over Susan, watching as her body betrayed her. She tried to move, but her arms and legs refused to obey. Her eyes filled with fear, darting around the room like a cornered animal."You… you..." she choked out, her voice trembling. “Why do you have a heart like this, Isaac?!”Tears streamed down her pale cheeks, her lips quivering as she fought for control."What’s wrong?" I asked, crouching down to meet her eye level. My tone was calm, almost too calm. "You’re not enjoying my help?"Susan’s sob turned into a bitter laugh, one that dripped with desperation. "What have you done to me, Isaac?"I leaned closer, my expression hardened. "What have I done? Oh, Susan, don’t pretend like this isn’t your fault. You were running, weren’t you? I simply ensured you wouldn’t anymore. Besides, you know about my

    (Isaac’s POV).“NO!”Susan’s scream sliced through the air, echoing like a desperate cry for salvation. I stopped at the doorway but didn’t turn to face her. Her voice cracked with terror, but it only stoked my irritation. She had made her bed, and now she had to lie in it.I clenched my fists as I forced myself to walk away, leaving Susan behind in her powerless state. My footsteps echoed through the mansion’s halls, each one a reminder of the control I had regained—but also the unanswered questions that plagued me."Emma!" I barked as I approached the main foyer.Emma, ever the consummate professional, appeared within seconds, her calm demeanor a stark contrast to my stormy mood.“Yes, sir?”“Move Susan to the guest room,” I ordered, my tone sharp. “Make sure she’s secure. She can’t move, but I don’t want her trying anything. And remind her who’s in charge.”Emma raised an eyebrow, her eyes scanning me as if trying to gauge my state of mind. “Understood. And you, sir?”“I’m going

    (Lily’s POV).The low purr of an engine stopping outside snapped me out of my thoughts. I froze for a moment, then felt a smile tug at my lips. I didn’t need to look to know who it was—I had memorized the sound of Isaac’s car. It had become an instinct, an involuntary response that warmed me and terrified me all at once.I walked to the window and peeked out from behind the curtain. There he was, stepping out of his sleek black car with his usual air of quiet authority. My chest tightened as I watched him adjust his jacket and glance toward the door.Lily, get it together, I scolded myself, turning quickly to the mirror by the hallway. I straightened my dress, smoothed down my hair, and checked my reflection. My cheeks were already flushed, my nerves betraying me.The knock came, firm and deliberate. I took a steadying breath, ignoring the rapid thud of my heart.Opening the door, I was greeted by Isaac’s sharp yet warm smile. In his hand was a single red rose.“Good day to see you a

    (Lily’s POV).The atmosphere was electric, charged with an unspoken intensity as I sat beside Isaac on the couch. The warmth of his presence so close to me was intoxicating, and every small move he made drew my attention like a moth to a flame.I had barely taken a sip of my Coke when Isaac’s hand brushed mine, making my heart skip. Before I could process the gesture, he leaned back with his beer in hand, smirking as if he knew exactly what he was doing to me.“It’s a shame, really,” he murmured, his deep voice slicing through the quiet.“What is?” I asked, tilting my head, genuinely curious.“That you’re sitting here with that Coke when I’m drinking this beer,” he replied with a teasing grin, lifting the can as if to emphasize his point.I laughed nervously. “Beer isn’t really my thing, Isaac. You know that.”He arched a brow, the mischief in his eyes glinting like a spark about to ignite a fire. “Maybe you just haven’t had it the right way.”Before I could ask what he meant, the un

His movements this time were different—not rough or hurried, but deliberate, tender, as if he was pouring his very soul into every motion.I could feel his breath against my skin, his heart pounding in rhythm with mine. His eyes locked onto mine, filled with a mixture of passion and something deeper—something I hadn’t allowed myself to see in a long time.Isaac’s lips found my forehead, his hands steadying me as he whispered, “Lily, let me show you… just how much you mean to me.”I wasn’t sure how to respond. Words seemed inadequate to describe the emotions swelling inside me. Instead, I gripped his shoulders, clinging to him as he moved faster, his strength enveloping me.The tension between us built with every moment, like a storm gathering intensity. The sound of our breathing, mingled with our soft gasps, filled the room.“Isaac,” I whispered, barely able to speak as

    Chapter 106Lily's POV I've been awake for the past few hours, staring at the ceiling and not moving. It's not yet morning, and I just suddenly woke up. I need time to process everything that happened to me yesterday. I've been thinking about it all along, and I can't believe that Matteo would go that far to do something like that to me. I trusted him so much and saw him as a friend. I didn't think that he would go this far just to show that he wants me or not. To be honest, I never thought of us ending up this way. I always thought we would be friends, and even though sometimes it felt like he was showing me signs, I thought it was just out of friendship. I stood up and went into the bathroom. Then I went downstairs. I didn't have much to do, but I started cleaning without being told what to do. I still had a lot on my mind. It's not easy for me to forget that Matteo and I used to be so close, and now things have gotten bad between us. He almost assaulted me yesterday, and he w

    Issac's POV "Let her go right now!" I roared across the room and it echoed. I couldn't stop the anger I felt inside while looking at him trying to touch her. She clearly didn't want him to touch her, but he kept trying to force himself on her. It was good enough that I got all the messages that Lily left for me earlier. I was too busy because I had some important things to take care of, and I didn't want Lily to find out, so I had to switch off my phone and also asked my assistant to do the same. I didn't think that anything would happen because I had my men watching over her, and they would have told me of any movements on an emergency phone. But they still didn't tell me anything, so I thought everything was okay. However, when I switched on my phone, I got all the messages from her, and the last one I got was that she was going to look for our daughter at Matteo's place. I quickly got the idea that Ayla was taken by that bastard, and I wasn't wrong. I moved closer to him and

    Chapter 104Matteo's POV I knew this was going to happen the moment she arrived, and I had already prepared myself for it. It's not the first time she's slapped me. After the time I kissed her at the hospital in front of that constant, I knew she had every right to do this. But it hurts me enough and makes me angry to think that she doesn't even want to look at me at all, and all she can ever think of is that bastard. This was the only way for me to get her attention since she has been avoiding me after I told her about what he did to her parents. "How could you do something like this? I trusted you so much as a friend, and you dare try to cause problems for me? I was so scared the whole day, and I was so worried, yet you couldn't tell me that my daughter was with you?" she fired at me angrily. But I didn't say anything else and just tried to hug her. Even though she was trying to break out of the hug, I still forced myself to hug her, and then I let go. She slapped me again, a

I couldn't hide the shock on my face especially after seeing her looking pitiful on a wheelchair. But I should focus and not let her deceive me with this. I should know the kind of person she is better than anyone. I know she has plans that I'm not going to allow happen anyways. But I need to find out whatever she's thinking. "Why aren't you saying anything? Do you hate me that might?" She asked like she was offended. I scoffed, "I know you're not here for a good reason Susan. What the hell are you doing here, pretending to be a patient and wasting my precious time? I have real patients to attend to.""What makes you think I'm not a real patient?""Isn't it obvious what you came here for? You think I have time to waste on you rather than attending to people who need my help?"She looked offend

    Susan's POV How did he manage to find out something that I've been trying to hide from him all along? I tried so much so that he wouldn't know at all. Even though it was hard for me because he was always watching me. I regretted trying to give his information out at the end of the day after seeing what he did to me. I didn't mean to contact his enemy at first. We are the ones who came after me while telling me the hard and offer for me and it would help me get his trust. I thought they wanted to do something to help me until I started giving them information and I started suspecting that it was wrong. That's how I managed to know that they were trying to find ways to bring him down and I was giving them information for it. When I try to confront them, they only threatened me and told me that they would tell him everything if I didn't cooperate with them. If they will be able to bring him down, then I wouldn't have to be scared of him. At first I thought it would be a good idea sin

    Isaac's POV I knew I was going to have to answer this sooner or later. I thought she would have forgotten about it, but she seems to still be very much interested in knowing what happened. It's hard to explain everything that happened, as what went on between us is a secret, but I'm going to tell her anyway. "Are you going to tell me or not? The way you keep quiet means that there's something you are hiding," she questioned me. I shook my head quickly. "I'm not hiding anything. I'm just wondering why you are so interested in this since I already told you that we settled it." She looked at me suspiciously and then nodded. "I know I'm not supposed to be asking you this, but I still want to know because he was acting so weird today. Not that he hasn't always been rude to me, but he seems too happy for someone who got an apology. Did you have a deal with him?" Her questions suddenly made me think about everything—how I managed to settle this matter between us. FLASHBACKAfter f

    Isaac's POV Fuck this! How does she even know that? I'm very sure I instructed everyone that she mustn't find out what was going on. Who could have told her this? No wonder she has been so quiet and acting strange with me. I just couldn't take it anymore. She was so good with me this morning, and now she was acting strange. It turns out that it was because of this nonsense. I'm going to deal with whoever told her this, but first, I need to find out how much she knows. "What do you mean, why did I lock Susan up? Why would I lock her up? I'm very sure you must have gotten the wrong idea," I told her, trying to deny things. But she shook her head like she couldn't believe what I was saying. "You shouldn't lie to me. I already know everything. I know you've locked her up ever since the incident with our daughter at the hospital, and you didn't let her go. She's already lost her legs—don't you think it's too cruel to lock her up without giving her freedom?" I could see that she was

    Lily's POV Am I really listening to Susan's voice, or is someone else pretending to be her? Could it be that this is a prank? There's no way she would be calling me for help. No matter what happens to her, I know she hates me to that level—unless I'm involved in what is going on with her. But what exactly is going on? I can't seem to comprehend. "Are you sure you're really Susan? What is going on? I don't understand anything that you're saying. Can you just elaborate? Where are you, and what does this have to do with me?" I questioned her, hoping for more answers. I only heard her sobbing, and it strongly made me feel guilty. I still didn't know what this was about, but she seemed like she was in danger. "Since you were able to call me, can you just tell me where you are?" I asked her again. "I'm locked up by Isaac because of what happened to your daughter. I kept telling him I had nothing to do with it, but he won't believe me. You also don't believe me, right? You asked him

    Lily's POV I had to take care of him all through the night. I can't believe he decided to hide this from me. What if I had not come in time? And what if something else had happened to him? What would I have done? I will not be able to explain that or say this to anyone. He's very annoying, and I don't even know what to do with him. But thankfully, I'm a doctor, and I can take care of him. He finally got better when it was getting closer to the morning, and I decided to get some sleep. I'm very tired from working at the hospital. I had to call the housekeeper to take care of Ayla yesterday because I couldn't come home to her. I'm sure she will understand if she knows I came to take care of her father. I lay down beside him, and soon enough, I fell asleep. I don't even know for how long I slept, but when I woke up, I still found myself on the bed. I decided to stretch myself; however, my body felt strange.
