My Cold Husband In Between
"Oh...is that so ?" Zared raised his eyebrows while continuing to smile. Gabriel nodded and took his leave. Riley's brows were knitted together as Zared turned to her. "I had to tell you were my frien-""I understand" she said with her lips pressed together with a slight smile. Both of them had their dinner and soon settled on the couch with blankets and N*****x on. Zared showed Riley to his room and asked her to be there for a few minutes while he settled and decorated the living room with fairy lights and candles laying down the snacks he brought earlier. He turned off the lights and brought Riley downstairs. Lily watched from upstairs, her hands resting on the grill, she watched them sit on the couch, smile at each other and hug each other as they watched the TV. She sighed and went back to her room. 'As long as he is happy' she thought and pressee her lips. Lily was the strongest when it came to hold on to hope and be happy in other's happiness. All she wanted was his love and

Lily came downstairs at the same time Zared was on his way to his room. The staircase was located at the other end of the hallway and Zared's eyes caught her. Zared stopped and stared at her from the distance as Lily avoided making any eye contact. She looked down and proceeded to walk towards another staircase leading to the living room when Zared's words made her stop. "What we're you doing upstairs?"Lily turned and made sure not to look in his eyes. "Nothing""Talking to your lover on the cell phone huh?" he said in an annoyed tone. "My cell phone is not with me""What were you doing then? looking at him? what? is he outside the house? ""I don't have a lover""As if" he scoffed and turned around but then turned to face Lily again. "You didn't even make dinner" he raised his brows. "Not yet" "Look at me when I'm talking to you" he said forwarding his steps. He leaned near her face so that only a few inches were left between them. Lily lifted her eyes to look into his but f

Lily shook her head again."You expect me to believe you?" he chuckled "I wasn't allowed to date anyone, because of dad"Zared nodded slowly in realisation. "No one wanted to date me either" "I understand that part" he said making Lily look down. "Remember what I said, I won't repeat it again" Lily didn't respond as Zared turned and left for upstairs. Both of them made their way to their rooms and lied on their beds. Zared was staring at the ceiling while lying. He recalled what he felt earlier, with Lily. He didn't know what it was but he knew it was wrong, wrong to feel that way because he already had a girlfriend. He thought about Riley, he always felt at ease with Riley, he felt joy and he was calm and happy, but with Lily? Not the same thing. There was something different, he felt the chaos that surrounded him when he was close to her. She made him feel butterflies. His heart beats fastened and his chest heaved, his emotions would be at peak and he would over react. He lik

The day passed by as a rough one for him as well as his employees. He was in extreme rage, rage which he had no control over. Lily was on the terrace, sitting on the swing and swinging while looking up at the sky, playing with strings falling from the neck of her frock. Zared's actions and his face from so close up and his eyes, oh his eyes, specially his eyes, never left her mind. She was still lost in those thoughts, she was now starting to interpret things, things she wasn't sure if but some where wanted to be. She liked it when Zared got mad about her talking about getting a boyfriend, she thought it was wrong though, wrong because he had a girlfriend, he was breaking her heart if he had any feelings towards Lily and Lily felt bad for Riley as well as herself. It was Zared's birthday tomorrow. She got to know when she first fell in love with him and googled him. She saw his birth date, July 23rd and remembered it ever since, she wanted to make it special , she wanted something b

Zared turned and left for Riley's house as Lily was running to her room crying. She fell down midway but got up and started running again. She slammed the door and fell down crying and screaming, she was being mentally tortured, she couldn't take it anymore, it was too much for her. It's not that she didn't like being close to Zared, but it's that he humiliated her every time and never respected her. It was like he stabbed her heart every time, she screamed calling to God and sceeamed while crying. She was too tired, too tired now, she wanted to be happy, to be at ease, she didn't want Zared to treat her like this or anyone to treat her like this, she was just 18, just 18 and too young to be married? too young to understand stuff? too young to know certain things? too young to be mature? but was she not too young to be tortured? not too young to be physically abused? not too young to be called a wh*re? Lily knew no one could answer the questions arising in her mind because no one t

"I'm sorry, love. I'll need to leave early. ""But why? " she looked sad. "Mom wants me to go home before it's 12 o'clock" he said with a sense of apology. "Can't you just say you're home? " she said pleading him. "I would've, but she wants me to face time her with Lily on reaching home. ""Just stay, maybe she won't even remember? ""She remembers everything, she's mad that I was making excuses and she hung up on me, look this is was she texted me." he showed her the text he got from Clarissa. Riley sadly pouted then nodded. "You can leave after a while, she wants you there before 12 right? ""Yeah, right, but that's what she says when she wants me to reach there at 11 and then she can say that it's too late and I should've left when she got mad. I can't let her be upset for long, she's the most important person for me. ""Fine, there is nothing you can do anyways. " she said looking down at her hands and Zared smiled and pulled her into a hug. "I'm sorry, love. I would've stay

But it was too late, he was already in, she stopped in front of him as he frowned. "What? " he was confused as to why she came running and then stopped right in front of him. She shook her head and Zared came forward. "My mom asked me to come home early and face time her with you. "Lily's mouth formed an O as she realised why Clarissa was saying he'd be home soon. She was happy anyways and smiled widely. "I was enjoying my time happily until again, you had to mess it all up, don't you get tired of messing everything up for me? Why can't you just get your own life? ""But, I didn't do anything this time? " she looked at him innocently. "Mom wanted me to be at home because 'Lily must be feeling lonely' how is it not your fault ? it's you everytime. " Lily sighed and lowered her gaze fidgeting with her fingers. Zared moved past her as Lily turned to ask him. "Dinner? "Zared didn't respond and Lily assumed her voice was too low for him to be heard, she knew it wasn't that, but s

Zared sat up. "What else did he say? Did he talk to you? "He asked while getting up from his bed. "He asked if I was your wife"Lily lied without stopping. She checked the time and it was 11:58.Both of them made their way to the terrace, Lily ran to the front and made sure she climbed slowly checking the time, so It was exactly 12 when they reached. The hands of the watch stopped at 12 and Lily climbed the remaining two steps hurriedly and as both of them entered the terrace area she screamed. "HAPPY BIRTHDAYYY!!" Lily shouted joyously. Zared's eyes widened, he looked at Lily and then the whole terrace, which was filled with balloons and fringe curtains and lights and what not. He looked around stunned and then lastly his eyes stopped at Lily. "What is this?" he asked, still stunned. "I prepared all this, for you. Happy Birthday. " she said smiling cheek to cheek. Many time one couldn't read Zared's expressions easily and this was one of those situations. Lily stared at Zared

My Cold Husband Shattered Remnants
The penthouse felt cavernous in her absence. Lily’s steps echoed faintly against the polished floors as she carried a small bag down the hall. She had packed only the essentials-clothes, documents, and her favorite book-a conscious decision not to look back. The thought of leaving the home they'd shared stung, but staying felt like drowning. Her mind replayed the scene in Aaron’s study, the damning photographs and the file with her name etched at the top. Every piece of information about her, laid bare-her family, her childhood, her fears. She’d trusted him, and in return, he had dissected her life like a puzzle to control. As she neared the door, the faint scent of his cologne lingered, and her grip on the bag tightened. This was the only goodbye she could give. Aaron had been out since the incident-a small mercy-but as Lily turned the handle, she heard the elevator hum to life. Her heart plummeted. The doors slid open, and Aaron stepped out, his suit slightly dishevel
My Cold Husband The Hidden Truth
The day was quiet, too quiet for Lily’s liking. Aaron had been called away for an urgent business meeting, leaving her alone in the penthouse. Normally, she’d enjoy the solitude, but today felt different. Her gaze wandered to the key sitting on her side table, the one Aaron had handed her a few days ago to the study. She hadn’t ventured inside yet, mostly because it felt too personal, too private. But now, with the emptiness of the penthouse pressing in on her, curiosity got the better of her. Sliding the key into the lock, she pushed the door open, stepping inside her fingers brushed against the dark wood of the desk. The view of the city skyline stretched beyond the glass, but her attention was drawn to a folder sitting in the center of the desk. It wasn’t marked, but something about it seemed out of place. “Just a peek,” she murmured to herself, feeling a twinge of guilt. Sliding the folder closer, she flipped it open-and froze. The first thing she saw was a phot
My Cold Husband On The Edge Of Desire
The last few days passed with Lily immersed in his studies and Aaron struggling to manage studies with the company work. Both of them got little time to spend together over the last two weeks-especially in Clara's absence. Aaron insisted they tell Clara about their relationship but Lily protested-too embrassed to admit she was right all the time. It was late in the afternoon when Lily was curled up on the couch with a book again, her feet tucked under her, while Aaron sat nearby with his laptop open. Clara was gone since morning and said she'd return late today. The quiet intimacy of the moment was broken only by the occasional click of the keyboard or the rustle of pages as Lily flipped through her novel. She glanced up, catching Aaron staring at her. “What?” “You,” he said simply, his voice low and teasing. Lily raised an eyebrow, though her lips twitched in amusement. “Me?” Aaron nodded, pushing off the wall and walking toward her. “I’ve been trying to work all day,
My Cold Husband Claiming Each Other
“Then I’d wait,” he said simply, his tone unwavering. “However long it took.”Lily felt her chest tighten at the sincerity in his words. “You don’t have to wait anymore. I’m ready.”His eyes searched hers, as if he couldn’t quite believe her words. “You mean that?”She nodded. “I mean it.”There was a pause before Lily resumed."So...are we....exclusive now?” her tone light but her gaze searching.Aaron’s grin widened, his confidence returning. “Lily, I’ve been exclusive to you since the day we met. You’ve been the only one for me.”Her cheeks flushed, and she ducked her head, suddenly feeling shy under the intensity of his gaze.“Since then?" She asked when she realised what he had said.Aaron tilted her chin up, forcing her to meet his eyes. "Since then. And you? Am I the only one for you?”Lily smiled, her hand brushing lightly against his chest. “Yes. It’s only you.”His shoulders visibly relaxed, and he let out a breath he didn’t seem to realize he’d been holding. “Good. Because
My Cold Husband Finally Exclusive?
Lily looked up at him with widened eyes, unsure of what to say. “You don’t have to use it,” he added quickly. “I just thought...if you ever needed anything, it might help.” Clara raised an eyebrow, but said nothing, though she had a massive smirk on her face.“Thank you?" Lily said, unsure.Aaron held her gaze for a beat longer before nodding and leaving the room. As the door closed behind him, Clara leaned in, “You know what that is, right?” “What?” Lily asked. “That’s trust,” Clara said with a grin. In the quiet moments that followed, Lily stared at the key in her hand, her mind racing. Trust, she thought. It was a small gesture, but it carried more weight than Aaron probably realized. The day had stretched into a quiet evening, Lily stood by the large windows of the penthouse, watching the sunset. Her thoughts were a whirlwind of emotions, all centering on Aaron.He had been quieter than usual after their last conversation. She could sense the weight of his emotions every ti
My Cold Husband Trust Known
Lily was curled up on the couch at the penthouse, with the same book in her lap. Her mind wandered restlessly, replaying Aaron’s intense behavior at the café and the protectiveness in his eyes. Clara had wisely given her space after their conversation, though Lily suspected she was lurking somewhere nearby, ready to jump in with more pointed observations. Lily sighed, snapping the book shut and leaning back against the cushions. Damian’s voice broke the silence. “Ms. Lily, Mr. Knight wants you, he's at the balcony.” Lily looked up. “Did he say why?” “He didn’t,” Damian replied, his tone as formal as ever. “But he did insist it was important.” Lily hesitated, her heart skipping a beat. “Alright,” she murmured, setting the book aside. Aaron was already on the balcony when she stepped outside, his tall frame silhouetted against the city skyline. The evening breeze ruffled his hair slightly, softening the usual sharpness of his appearance. He turned at the sound of her fo
My Cold Husband Gone Missing
The day wore on with an unsettling quietness. Lily had hoped for a moment of peace, but the intensity of her recent conversation with Aaron loomed over her like a storm cloud. She spent the morning aimlessly flipping through her to-do list, pretending to work but unable to focus on anything for more than a few minutes. She started to have doubts if she was making the right decision by completely trusting someone so soon after...she shook her head. By the time the clock struck noon, Clara barged into her room. “Okay, enough of this brooding,” Clara said, hands on her hips. “Get dressed. We’re going out.” “I’m fine, Clara. Really.” Lily opposed. “No, you’re not,” Clara countered. “You’re overthinking everything again, aren’t you?” When Lily didn’t respond, Clara sighed and grabbed her hand. “Come on. You need a change of scenery before you lose your mind. Besides, I need coffee, and you’re coming with me.” "Clara, I-" "It's been days since we've spent quality time tog
My Cold Husband Closer Than Before
Aaron lingered near the door for a moment before stepping back inside, his gaze hesitant but resolute. Lily turned to face him, her brows furrowing slightly. “I thought you were leaving,” she said, her voice softer now. “I was.” He walked back toward her, his steps deliberate. “But I realized something.” Lily’s heart thudded against her ribs as he closed the distance between them slowly. She tried to appear composed, but his presence made it nearly impossible. Aaron stopped a few feet away, his expression a mix of determination and vulnerability. "I’ve spent so much of my life walking away-from people, from emotions, from anything that felt... complicated. But I don’t want to do that with you.” Lily blinked, stunned by the weight of his words. “Aaron...” “I’m not expecting you to feel the same way or even to understand,” he continued, his voice steady. “But I need you to know that you’re the first person who’s made me want to stay.” Her chest tightened as his c
My Cold Husband Unraveling Vulnerabilities
He nodded, his gaze fixed on the view outside the window. “And then there was Zared.” Lily tensed at the mention of Zared’s name, her fingers curling into fists at her sides. She stayed quiet, letting Aaron continue. “He wasn’t even family,” Aaron said, his tone bitter. “Just the son of my father’s closest friend as you already know. But they treated him like he was their own flesh and blood. Better than that, actually. Zared was everything they wanted me to be: charming, obedient, perfect. And they didn’t bother hiding it.” Lily’s chest tightened at the pain in his voice. "They seem so different, I never imagined they could do all this." Aaron looked at Lily. "Everyone had their masks, Lily. You can never imagine how worse the sweetest people could get." Lily's eyes held pity as well as disappointment upon hearing the world's reality. "Every time I messed up, every time I didn’t meet their impossibly high standards, they’d bring up Zared. ‘Why can’t you be more l
