"Why did you refuse to accept my resignation letter?" I asked, feeling a surge of frustration that I had to engage with them again, a conversation I had never intended to have."That's because you're not going anywhere, Lily," Hayden's words shocked me to the core."W-what did you just say?" I stuttered, unable to believe what I had just heard."You heard exactly what I said," Hunter replied, his tone firm and unwavering."If it is my wish to leave your company, then you two cannot stop me. I'm a grown woman who does not need anyone to tell me what I can and cannot do. If you had an ounce of respect, you would accept my wishes," I glared at Hunter, feeling Hayden's presence behind me.As I was about to move, his hand snaked around my waist, pulling me back against his firm chest. His scent enveloped me, sending me into a sweet euphoria, making it hard for me to resist his grasp.All I wanted was to stay in his arms, but I managed to pull away, denying the temptation."You like that, d
2 weeks laterI stared at my bank account, tears threatened to spill from my eyes. I had never seen this much money in my account before. With a mix of disbelief and gratitude, I rushed to the Eastwood student loan bank, only to be informed that all my outstanding debts had been paid off by Steele Global Bank.Racing back home, a whirlwind of questions swirled in my mind. Why had my bosses paid off my student loan without informing me? How did they even know about it in the first place?Knocking on Hunter's door yielded no response, so I made my way to Hayden's apartment. Hunter must have been out.Moments later, Hayden emerged, dressed casually in shorts and an open robe. Despite my efforts to remain composed, I couldn't help but notice how effortlessly attractive he looked. Mentally scolding myself, I focused on the matter at hand."Uh, how may I help you, Miss Reeves?" Hayden's tone lacked the warmth and familiarity it once held, a stark contrast to the way he used to address me."
Dillon noticed my distraction and followed my gaze, concern etched his features, a flicker of worry crossing his eyes as he searched my face for answers."What is it, Lily?" he asked, his voice tinged with worry, his concern evident in the gentle furrow of his brow."It's nothing," I lied, the weight of what I had just witnessed settling heavily on my shoulders, a knot of deceit tightening in my chest as I tried to shield him from the truth."It's your boss, isn't it?" Dillon's voice tightened, his fists clenching at his sides."If he's making you feel uncomfortable, I can go over there and talk to him for you," he offered, already rising from his seat. But I quickly reached out, pulling him back down to prevent any unnecessary confrontation."There's no need for that," I assured him, though my eyes remained fixed on Hunter and Victoria as they exited the restaurant."They're gone now, so you can relax," Dillon reassured me, but my mind was consumed by thoughts of Hunter.Throughout t
Lily's mom Pov"Hi, you must be Lily's mom, Miss Daisy. You can call me Sarah. It's so nice to meet you!" exclaimed the lady, who looked exactly like my daughter's boss, shaking my hand vigorously with excitement."I can see where Lily gets her beauty from," she added with a smile, making her way inside my home."And let me guess, you must be her husband, Mr. Steele, am I correct?" I addressed the man who was now standing before me."How did you know we were the Steeles?" he asked curiously, with a smile."Well, I met your sons a few weeks ago, and they greatly resemble your wife. So, she's obviously the twins' mother. And the fact that you came along with her was another clue. But I guess the most obvious fact is that you own one of the biggest banks in America, and you're always on TV," I stated."Please come in," I said, stepping aside so he could enter my home, then closed the door behind him."Is there anything I can get for you two?" I inquired politely."Yes, water will be just
I woke up feeling a little weak, my senses slowly returning as I realized I was surrounded by the sterile environment of a hospital room. The antiseptic scent stung my nostrils, and I couldn't help but feel a surge of discomfort. Hospitals were never my favorite places, but I suppose this was the consequence of my own foolishness and naivety. Glancing at the clock, its digital display read 7:30 a.m. on a Sunday morning, adding a surreal touch to the situation."Lily, you're finally awake," Dillon's voice broke through the quiet, his figure appearing beside me on the bed.The memories of the events leading up to this moment flooded back, igniting a fiery anger within me. Dillon, the one I once trusted, had betrayed me and toyed with my emotions. He was the reason I found myself confined to this hospital bed."Get out," I gritted, my voice laced with newfound hatred."Lily, I didn't mean for it to happen. She just showed up and started tearing off my clothes, and before I knew it, I was
Third party's POVAfter informing Lily that Hunter was with Victoria, Hayden settled onto his sofa, discreetly observing her as emotions played across her face. It was evident that Lily was wrestling with inner turmoil, and something was clearly troubling her.Suppressing the urge to envelop her in a comforting embrace and reassure her that everything would be alright, Hayden resolved to uncover the source of her distress so he could address it head-on.Lily left his room, Hayden rose and poured himself a glass of scotch, hoping it would numb the ache in his heart.When Lily had expressed her desire for them to cease their advances, it felt as though a cold spear had pierced not only his heart but also that of his brother. Though they had known Lily for only a month, they felt an intense connection with her. They felt possessive of her, protective of her, and they yearned to fulfill her every need and desire.Despite their efforts to maintain professionalism, they couldn't help but in
I made my way home, the weight of the day's events hung heavy on my shoulders. Sneaking into my condo, I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief that I wouldn't have to face my bosses' judgmental stares or endure their chilly demeanor. If they were intent on keeping their distance, then so be it. My interactions with them would remain strictly professional, devoid of any personal entanglements.Their indifference towards me stung, their disregard for my well-being palpable. But why should I dwell on their opinions? They were merely my superiors, after all. If they chose to align themselves with Victoria, then let them revel in their camaraderie.Yet, amidst the turmoil of my thoughts, a nagging sense of discontent gnawed at me. It wasn't solely the betrayal of my best friend, who had chosen to reconcile with his ex-girlfriend on the very day we decided to pursue a relationship. No, it was the callous treatment I received from my bosses that truly rankled.How could Hunter succumb to
"Here you go, sir," I said, handing both of my bosses the company's financial auditing report for the month of October, freshly compiled by our finance team."Thank you, Miss Reeves," Hayden replied, his voice carrying a tone of acknowledgment.In their office, Hayden and his brother, along with Victoria, sat amidst a flurry of paperwork. Victoria's presence seemed to serve no purpose other than to be with Hunter under the guise of seeking advice and guidance for the competition.To my dismay, Hunter welcomed her without a hint of suspicion, oblivious to her ulterior motives. Instead of focusing on the pageant, Victoria spent her time seducing Hunter, much to my frustration.After my recent hospitalization, I chose to keep the incident to myself. Revealing my fainting spells might only raise concerns about my health and competence in the eyes of my bosses. The last thing I needed was to give them a reason to doubt my abilities and possibly terminate my employment.As I turned to leave
“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
