My Cold Husband Protectiveness
The room was suffocatingly quiet. The storm had finally settled, but the weight of the previous events hung in the air like a thick fog. Lily stood by the window, watching the last few droplets of rain trace paths down the glass. Her heart still raced from the encounter-one that should never have happened. She felt the deep ache of vulnerability, her mind still haunted by the man’s cold grip.She hadn’t wanted to admit it, but the fear had taken root deep inside her. The world outside felt foreign now, dangerous and unpredictable. She wasn’t sure who she could trust anymore, not even herself.The door creaked open softly, and Lily’s pulse skipped. It was Aaron-though he wasn’t alone this time. His presence in the room seemed to fill every inch of space with tension. His suit was damp from the rain, his expression shadowed by the worry that clung to him like a second skin.Lily’s breath caught as their eyes met, but the softness she had once found in them was absent. His gaze was hard,

She didn’t know if she was more scared of the danger she was in or of the way Aaron was looking at her now. Was she finally a burden to him? Was he regretting keeping her and protecting her?Aaron disappeared into his study, closing the door behind him with a soft click. Inside the quiet space, the weight of the world seemed to settle onto his shoulders. His fingers hovered over the phone for a moment, his mind racing. He glanced at the door, ensuring no one could overhear, and then dialed the number.The call rang twice before someone picked up, their voice muffled but cold.“Got me, little boy??” the voice on the other end asked, unbothered, almost indifferent.Aaron’s voice was low, almost a growl. “You listen to me,” he began, his words sharp, each syllable laced with venom. “You stay the hell away from Lily. Don’t even think about coming near her again. You’ve pushed me too far this time.”There was a long pause on the other end, but Aaron wasn’t waiting for an apology or excuse.

There was a long pause. But she didn’t need to know what they said-Aaron’s tone said it all. He was angry-ver angry, protective, and something else she couldn’t quite place.“If you don’t back off, there will be consequences,” Aaron said, his voice carrying the weight of someone who wasn’t willing to be threatened. “You’ve already caused enough damage. Stay away from her.”Lily’s pulse raced. She wanted to burst into the room, confront Aaron, demand to know what was going on, but she didn’t move.Lily’s hands trembled slightly, her thoughts racing. She couldn’t make sense of the conversation-she couldn’t even guess who Aaron had been speaking to. But the protectiveness in his voice had been undeniable. Whoever it was, Aaron clearly didn’t want them anywhere near her.The early hours of the morning brought a pale, gray light that filtered through the penthouse's grand windows. Rain continued to patter softly against the glass, a sound that should have been calming but only deepened the

Before she could decide whether to step inside, he turned, and she quickly ducked out of sight. Her heart pounded as she pressed herself against the wall, listening to the sound of his footsteps retreating down the hall.Lily exhaled shakily, her curiosity only growing.The rain had finally stopped, but the gray clouds lingered over the building, casting long shadows across the grounds. Lily sat by her window, staring out at the garden. The events of the past few days weighed heavily on her. Aaron’s cryptic words, the man who had tried to grab her, and now his constant insistence that she stay indoors-it was suffocating.Her trust in him was beginning to waver. Aaron said he was protecting her, but from what? Or who? And why did she feel like he was protecting something else just as fiercely?A knock on the door broke her thoughts. Damian entered, his usual stoic expression in place.“Get ready,” he said. “Mr. Knight wants you downstairs.”“For what?” Lily asked, frowning at the order

The penthouse was eerily quiet as Lily stepped into the living room, her arms wrapped around herself for warmth. The events of the past few days clung to her like a shadow, a constant reminder of how her world had spiraled out of control.Aaron was seated at the far end of the room, his back to her as he gazed out at the city skyline. The lights of the city glittered through the floor-to-ceiling windows, but his focus was elsewhere, his shoulders tense.“Ms. Lily,” Damian’s voice came from behind her, soft yet formal. She turned to see him standing near the kitchen, his usual composed demeanor intact. “Can I get you something to eat or drink?”She shook her head, managing a small smile. “No, thank you, Damian. I’m fine.”Damian nodded and stepped back, giving her space. His presence was reassuring in its own way, but Lily couldn’t shake the feeling of unease that lingered in the air.“Aaron,” she said softly, taking a tentative step toward him.He didn’t turn immediately, but after a

Lily was sitting on the sofa, curled up in a blanket as usual these days, she recalled how long it had been since she went out-like actually went out-for a coffee, for a stroll, for her college. As she recalled the days she used to walk to university and attend classes, the sound of the door clicking behind her broke her thoughts.Aaron entered the room quietly, his footsteps soft on the wooden floor. His sleeves were rolled up as usual, but the tension in his posture was more pronounced.Lily looked up, startled by his sudden appearance. “You’re back.”“I never left,” Aaron replied, his voice calm but distant. He sat on the armchair across from her, leaning forward with his elbows on his knees, his piercing silver eyes fixed on her. “What’s wrong, love?”"Stop calling me-""Love.' Aaron cut her off "I wont. Now tell me what's wrong."Lily frowned, wrapping her arms tighter around herself. “You keep asking that, but you’re the one who’s always...distant. It’s like you’re carrying the

The atmosphere in the penthouse grew heavier as Damian returned from another update on the traced IP address. The tension in his formal tone, even as he addressed Aaron, was undeniable. “They’ve narrowed down the location to an abandoned warehouse near the outskirts of the city,” Damian informed, standing rigid near the entrance of Aaron’s study. “The team is securing the area now, but it’s isolated. We should proceed with caution. He might be armed." Aaron, seated by his desk in a button-up shirt and rolled-up sleeves, tapped his pen against the surface in deep thought. His usual calmness was now laced with frustration, his silver eyes darkening as he processed Damian’s words. “Ensure the men stay out of sight,” Aaron instructed, his tone sharp and controlled. “I don’t want this to escalate unnecessarily. He should not know that we've found him." Damian gave a curt nod. “Understood, Mr. Knight.” Unbeknownst to them, Lily lingered by the hallway outside the study, her cur

“But don’t expect me to just sit here and wait for bad news.” Lily continued. Aaron exhaled, stepping closer to her one last time. His hand lingered near her cheek, as if he wanted to touch her but held himself back. “Lily,” he said softly, “you have to believe in me. I’ll come back. I always do.” Lily, caught between disappointment and confusion, watched as Aaron exited the study without another word. Damian’s presence, stiff and formal as always, only added to the awkwardness of the moment. “Ms. Lily,” Damian said, his tone polite but distant, “perhaps you should rest for now.” But rest was the last thing on Lily’s mind. She sat down in the study chair, staring at the door Aaron had walked through, wondering if she’d ever fully understand the man who seemed determined to shield her from everything-including himself. In the car, Aaron’s face hardened as they approached the outskirts of the city. He glanced at his phone, which still displayed the coordinates from the tra

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
