My mom opened the door, her expression a mix of annoyance and relief as she pulled me into one of her bone-crushing hugs. Her curly hair was pulled back into a bun, a telltale sign that she had been busy baking, one of her favorite pastimes.I glanced eagerly at the kitchen counter, where the tantalizing aroma of freshly baked chocolate mocha cake filled the air. My mouth watered at the sight of the cake, its surface adorned with a layer of decadent icing.But before I could reach for a knife to cut myself a slice, my mom slapped my hand away, her expression stern."Mom!" I protested, feigning innocence, though I knew exactly why she was upset."That's for ignoring me the entire week!" she fumed, her tone leaving no room for argument."Mom, I haven't been ignoring you. I've made sure to text and sometimes call you whenever I can," I protested, genuine concern in my voice as I tried to placate her."Well, it wasn't enough," she replied stubbornly, her expression softening slightly as s
I immediately set the fork down, my hand trembling slightly as a wave of disbelief washed over me. Why, out of all days, did Dillon choose today to invite himself over?"Dillon, what... what are you doing here?" My voice quivered nervously as I struggled to comprehend the sudden intrusion.The twins, ever composed, remained seated, seemingly unperturbed by the unexpected visit. Dillon, however, wore a distinct glare aimed in their direction. Mom, standing nearby, appeared outwardly unfazed by the situation, though I could have sworn I detected a fleeting hint of surprise in her expression, swiftly masked."I knew you'd be here today, so I decided to drop by and spend some quality time with you," Dillon remarked, his gaze still fixed on the twins.But why now, of all times?"I, uh... These are my bosses, Hunter and Hayden. Gentlemen, meet Dillon, a friend of mine," I stammered out the introduction, my nerves palpable."Nice to meet you," Dillon extended his hand towards Hunter. After a
Lily's Mom PovI sat in front of my daughter's two bosses, my arms crossed tightly against my chest. Never in my wildest dreams had I imagined Lily's future would come to this.I scrutinized their behavior closely, noting their possessiveness, kindness, care, concern, clinginess, and unmistakable jealousy. Lily seemed oblivious to it all, but I picked up on it within minutes of meeting them.Still seething with anger over Dillon's reckless actions, I couldn't fathom how he could have thought it acceptable to take my daughter to a club, get her drunk, and then abandon her. I had always believed he knew better.Thankfully, Lily had gone for a walk to clear her mind, leaving me alone to address her bosses in private, without any interruptions."It will not happen," I stated firmly, ignoring their attempts to feign innocence. I didn't care how powerful or influential they were; this was my daughter's happiness at stake."I don't understand, Miss Daisy," Hayden feigned ignorance."I'm not
I exited the elevator, my heart pounding as I made my way to my condo. The thought of facing my bosses, and especially Hunter, filled me with dread. Hunter, the man who took my virginity and then acted as if it never happened.Earlier, I had taken a walk with my bosses' security team, trying to clear my head. I couldn't bring myself to go home and face them, especially not Hunter. I opted to return to my condo instead, seeking some solitude to sort out my feelings.Questions swirled in my mind, doubts creeping in. Did I get this job because I slept with Hunter? Was I actually qualified, or was I just fooling myself? My confidence was shaken, and my mom's advice to leave the job echoed in my ears. How was I supposed to feel knowing that Hunter was aware of our night together? The dynamic between us had irrevocably changed, and to make matters worse, Hayden knew about it too."God, I'm such a fool," I muttered to myself. "Why did I do something so stupid?" Just then, there was a knock o
"As we do understand your concern, the Human Resource department will need to process your notice of resignation, create a job description to replace your position, and get approval for a recruitment budget. This process often goes through several interdepartmental checkpoints before the application opens. All of this takes time. In addition to being respectful of the company’s procedures, you signed a contract that requires a month’s notice. Breaking this contract can be devastating for you, Lily," Hayden smirked at me."Fine, I'll complete the month, but after that, I want nothing more to do with you two," I replied angrily, glaring at my bosses."During this time, I will not eat lunch with you two. I will take separate company cars to and from work. I want the lock on my condo changed, and I will date whoever I want without any interference," I demanded firmly, outlining my conditions."You're in no position to make such demands, Lily, but I'll grant your wishes out of respect and p
I slumped down in my chair, feeling tired from all the work I had to do. I was certain that the twins were trying to take revenge on me because I'm resigning from their company.I still can't figure out what I plan to do when I leave this job. My head was spinning out of control due to my thoughts being all over the place. I also still couldn't believe Hunter knew he had gone down on me and said nothing.The thought made a shiver run down my spine.I prepared Hunter's files, and as I was about to hand them in and go for lunch, I saw Tessa and asked her to deliver the files for me instead."Why do you want me to deliver these files for you? You do know these are confidential files that should only be handled by you, Lily," Tessa, the human resources director, spoke to me."Please, Tessa, this is a one-time thing, and I will never ask this of you again," I begged her. I really didn't want to have to see the twins."I will do it this once for you, Lily," Tessa accepted, looking curiously
"W-what?" I stammered, sure that I must have misheard Hayden."I'm sure we didn't stutter, our pretty little dear Lily," Hunter responded, his voice dripping with a hint of amusement as he drew closer to me. They couldn't be serious, could they?Wasn't this the exact same reason why we were in this mess in the first place? Because they wanted to use me as their puppet so they could be with me?The fact that we could get caught any minute now was making my anxiety skyrocket. I hated feeling anxious, and I certainly didn't appreciate my name being dragged through office rumors."I don't believe this is good work ethic, and I certainly don't believe I need to prove anything to you two. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have work to do," I told the two, attempting to brush past them."You are free to leave, my dear Lily, but not until you give us what we've asked. Clearly, you're still angry at us, even though we've apologized to you," Hunter said, his tone firm and unyielding."You do know thi
My cheeks burned as Hunter helped me into the backseat, the memory of our heated kisses in the bathroom still fresh. I slid across the leather, nestling between him and Haylen. Just being this close after what had transpired made my heart race.I had actually kissed them. Both of them! The feel of their lips, the taste of them, it was all scorched into my memory. How had I found the courage for such boldness? But now that I had acted on these forbidden desires, there was no going back.Stealing a glance at the two insanely attractive brothers surrounding me, I felt a throbbing ache deep within. I wanted more of them - their hands roaming my body, our mouths crashing together in passion. It was so wrong, but the wrongness only made me crave it more intensely.The car remained still and silent around us, charged with thick tension. I could sense them both radiating that same smoldering need. My core clenched just imagining what might happen next now that we had crossed that line. Uncons
“Hunter, baby…” Before Victoria could continue, Hunter cut her off sharply.“In my office. Now,” he said, his voice brooking no argument.I shot her a glare for the pet name she used for Hunter and then directed the same fierce look at Hunter for taking this murderer into his office. Hayden, meanwhile, glared at me as if I were somehow at fault, even though I had done nothing wrong.Once Victoria had left with the two men trailing behind her, I exhaled in relief, realizing I hadn’t even noticed I’d been holding my breath. The tension in the room seemed to dissipate, leaving me feeling slightly less anxious.“You alright?” Olivia’s question startled me.I turned to her, surprised by the concern in her eyes. “Don’t give me that look. I know how Victoria can be—she’s always been vindictive. She used to bully me whenever she got the chance back when she and Hunter were
Lily's POV..............I wasn’t supposed to be at work today. The twins had generously given me some time off to cope with the loss of my best friend, Dillon. I should have taken the time to grieve in peace, but the ache inside me felt too overwhelming. I couldn’t stand being at home, consumed by my own sorrow. I needed to do something—anything—to distract myself and find some semblance of normalcy. And for me, that meant being around the twins.I knew they would be displeased to see me at the office, but I couldn’t help it. The space felt oddly comforting, even as it reminded me of Dillon. The twins had a full schedule today, but they were dealing with a minor matter first. I knew they would be back soon, and I was determined to make myself useful in the meantime.As I busied myself with paperwork, trying to focus on the tasks at hand, the office door creaked open. I looked up, expecting one of the staff or perhaps even one of the twins, but instead, Victoria’s voice sliced through
Third party POV“So, what do you have for us?” Hayden’s voice was low but firm as he addressed the secret detective who had been covertly working for them.The detective, keeping his demeanor casual, responded, “While I was away for Thanksgiving dinner with my family, I wasn’t able to pick up on anything out of the ordinary that might link Dillion’s death to someone directly. However, our team is diligently working on it. As soon as there’s an update, I’ll ensure you’re the first to know.”Hunter’s brow furrowed as he leaned forward, his expression troubled. “Do you think Victoria might be involved, or perhaps his girlfriend? Or could it be someone entirely unknown to us?”The gravity of the situation weighed heavily on them, especially with Lily now deep in depression over the shocking news. It was clear that, despite their own thirst for revenge for what Dillion had done to Li
"Thank god you decided to come," I said happily to my mother as we stepped into the Steele residence for Thanksgiving dinner. The warmth and elegance of the home greeted us instantly, with the scent of roasted turkey and freshly baked pies wafting through the air."I only did it because I don't want to lose my one and only daughter. I want to be a part of your life," she replied, her voice softening. I gave her a tight hug, feeling a sense of relief wash over me."Hello, Miss Montgomery," both Hunter and Hayden greeted my mom with a polite hug. At least she showed them courtesy, even if it was with a bit of reservation.Mr. and Mrs. Steele approached us with welcoming smiles, their holiday spirit evident. "Thank you for having me and my daughter here today. Your home looks very beautiful," my mom commented, handing them a thoughtfully wrapped housewarming gift."Thank you, and Lily has been coming here for a few days now to have dinner with us, so she's n
Lily's POV.........."As it is that we are together now, I don't think asking you two personal questions is wrong?" I asked, laying between the twins. The cool sheets against my skin were a stark contrast to the warmth of their bodies, cocooning me in an odd sense of security despite the burning questions in my mind."Ask away, baby girl," Hunter said, peppering kisses to my cheeks. His lips were soft and tender, a stark contrast to the raw intensity of our earlier encounters. I knew they were in the mood for another round, but after a total of five rounds, my body was fatigued, and they knew this.Taking a deep breath, I braced myself for the answer. "The other day when I saw Victoria entering your room, why did you make her? Are you still in love with her?" I asked Hunter, the doubt that had been gnawing at my mind finally spilling out.Hunter pulled me closely into his arms, his grip firm yet comforting. He looked me straight in the eyes, his gaze unwavering. "The woman you saw the
Third party POV"I think what you've suspected, madam, is true. The twins do seem to be very overprotective of their assistant, Lily," the man said, his voice low and cautious as he stood before the woman seated at her grand mahogany desk, elegantly smoking a cigarette.The woman, her eyes narrowing with irritation, blew out a plume of smoke. "What have you found out exactly?" she demanded, her tone sharp and edged with impatience.The man shifted uneasily on his feet, aware of the woman's volatile temper. "Well, for one, they've made sure she stays at the elite royal condominium where they live. Although I'm uncertain if any other employees reside there, it's clear that only high-class millionaires and above can afford to stay there. Another thing is that she's rarely seen anywhere without the twins or their bodyguards discreetly following her," he explained, his words measured and deliberate.The woman's lips pressed into a thin line, her frustration mounting. "What else?" she snapp
"What the fuck?" This was the first time I'd ever cursed so blatantly, but what Hunter had just said made me see they were going crazy.Hearing my words, Hunter and Hayden began to chuckle, their deep voices resonating in the room. Hunter then held my chin in his hand, tilting my head forward. "Such grievous words from that pretty little mouth of yours, Lily," he murmured, his eyes dark with amusement."Where did you learn that from?" I moaned as Hayden questioned, his finger moving in and out of my pussy with expert precision."Y-you," I blushed, watching as he brought his finger to his mouth, licking it clean with a satisfied smile."Just as I thought," Hunter teased, a wicked grin spreading across his face. "I think it should be our duty to ensure those words are never uttered again." He brought his cock to my lips once more, pushing it down my throat even further as I lay on my back, feeling completely at their mercy."Yes, I think you're right, brother," Hayden agreed, his voice l
It was finally the day for me to make a decision on whether or not I wanted to be with my bosses. I tried finding something to preoccupy myself with but couldn't take my mind off the fact that I needed to choose very soon. The decision weighed heavily on my mind, and no matter how hard I tried to distract myself, my thoughts kept circling back to the same dilemma. My heart pounded in my chest, a constant reminder of the choice I had to make.The Thanksgiving dinner was only a few days away, and my mom still wasn't budging about not going. She wouldn't even take my calls or text me back. The silence from her was deafening, adding to the loneliness that crept up on me during these moments of indecision. I missed her, and her absence felt like a gaping hole in my life, especially now when I needed her advice the most.I was entirely now dependent on my bosses for the care and love they were continuing to show me. Even though I would have a little mishap now and then with the pesky brat V
"There's something I want to ask you," I said to my mom, my voice trembling slightly as I struggled to maintain my composure. This caught her attention immediately, and she turned to look at me, her eyes filled with curiosity."What is it?" she asked, her gaze never leaving mine."I want you to attend Thanksgiving dinner with me and my bosses at their parents' house. They've invited me, and I've accepted it," I told her, my heart pounding in my chest as I waited for her reaction or reply."No," she said flatly."What do you mean, no? Do you intend to stay here and be alone forever?" I asked her, frustration creeping into my voice as I watched her continue to bake her sweet potato pie, seemingly unfazed by my request."So, you've finally given into them, I see," she replied, her tone laced with disapproval as she continued her work without even glancing in my direction."Mom, what are you talking about? We're just having Thanksgiving dinner together, that's all," I said, my voice risin
