As usual, Liliana was unfazed by everyone’s reactions.

She calmly explained.

“If you were a fan of my work, you would have called me Mrs. Liliana, not Mrs. Smith. I have never introduced myself as Mrs. Smith.”

Jonathan made a face at that but did not interrupt.

“Moreover, your choice of words was peculiar - aspire to be a famous designer someday and hopefully establish a brand.”

“At L&L Designs, all of us - including me - aspire to produce outstanding works and develop our skills further. Recognition for our work and establishing the company have always been secondary. Our goals do not align, and you would not have been a cultural fit.”

“You proposed a toast to me. Toasting someone else at the beginning of the banquet is considered bad etiquette and disrespectful to the host. While I am sure it was unintentional on your part, it does not change the fact that your focus on this party was to get your leg inside L&L Designs.”

“Otherwise, you would have waited until after the cake-cutting

    Terry Draw walked out of his office with a spring on his step.It was the day he had been waiting for many years. Finally, he could pay off his debt of gratitude.However, his happiness bloomed from knowing he would be getting a big responsibility now. It was akin to getting inducted into the Petrova family.Liliana had changed his future, and it was something he would be grateful to her for the rest of his life. His immediate and extended family had managed to get out of abstract poverty, and it was not something that he would ever be able to repay her.Taking care of an orphanage for her was just his way of lessening her burden. If she were to ask him to manage a few more of her many charities, he would not mind.Liliana had called him a few minutes earlier and scheduled a meeting for the subsequent morning at Green Children’s Foundation.Terry was ecstatic. He went about his day in a splendid mood.Before lunch, he received another update.Jonathan Smith had arrived in the office a

    Liliana arrived at Green Children’s foundation early in the morning.She had spent two days with her kids sorting out all the things they longer used or had outgrown.She had requested a few brands and stores to sell or donate all their off-season products - clothes, shoes, and stationery items in bulk.Liliana spent around 2 hours distributing things and checking out all the stocks in the foundation.She was halfway through her checks when Terry showed up.Liliana showed Terry all the ropes and went through all the procedures together. Being the manager of Central Mall of Smith Group, he was familiar with the chops, but getting to know how a non-profit foundation worked was a good learning experience.After completing all the work, Liliana and Terry sat in a cafe close to the foundation.“I have been curious, why is this called Green Children's foundation? I was under the impression that Petrova properties are named P or Kings something or Petrova.” Terry asked.“After my Grandmother

    Another month went by, and Jonathan and Nathaniel had almost completely recovered.While Nathaniel would have to be careful of his diet and exercise, following a strict regime his entire life, hailing from an affluent family - he had all the necessary care that money could buy. From having a doctor on call in addition to the Petrova family doctor and Henry to having an in-house nurse for emergencies, teaching him yoga and meditation, to having a nutritionist to manage his diet, Nathaniel had it all.On the other hand, Vivian Stone had lost it all. Born into a wealthy family and being an intelligent person, she had always stayed on a pedestal. But her recent altercations had left her in the lurch.Except for when she tangled with Liliana, Vivian always enjoyed being the center of attention and someone important. But whether it was in Kings High, the fashion industry, or Jonathan Smith’s life, whenever she stood against Liliana, she always came up short.Recently, she had called Terry

    “Yes, it matters to me,” Vivian said determinedly.“Fine, then tell me, how do you think she ruined your life?” Terry asked.“What do you mean? Is that not clear enough already?” Vivian snapped.Terry shook his head, “No, it’s not clear. I don’t know what happened between the two of you. I only know what I saw on the internet - which may or may not be true.”Vivian was stunned. She could not find fault in Terry’s words.After a long time, she said, “She had always tried to sabotage me. Even when we were in Kings High, she tried to sabotage me. She took away my position.”Terry let her grumble about how Liliana had made her life miserable in Kings High.When she stopped talking, Terry asked, “Vivian, before Liliana, you used to be in the first place, so does that mean you tried to sabotage the person who had come 2nd and 3rd?”Vivian stared at him wide-eyed.“What nonsense are you speaking? I didn't even know them. I was just trying to do my best.”Terry asked, “You realize that’s just

    Terry did not show Vivian any mercy. He pointed out all the flaws in her reasoning and broke her rose-tinted glasses.“Why would you do this to yourself?”“You had everything - a loving family and rich parents who fulfilled all your wants. You were smart and intelligent - someone capable of being a brand, someone important on your own. You were an alumnus of the best high school in P city and one of the best Universities in the world.”Terry finally hit the nail on the head.“Was it so awful that Liliana was slightly more intelligent than you, she was slightly luckier than you in love, she had a better background than you?”“And if you were constantly comparing - why did you not compare that she was practically an orphan after her mother passed away?”“Why did you not compare that she had to live with an abusive stepmother and stepsister - who leeched off her inheritance while making her work as their servant?”“Why did you not compare that she had more responsibilities on her young s

    Romeo sneered when Rose paused for breath.“That bitch’s daughter is another goody-two-shoes just like her mother. Do you want me to believe that she screwed you over? Have you lost touch, Rose? Besides, you did kill that bitch. Now you want to be a novelty as well? Was the money not enough?”“Shut up! There was no money. Lester, that ignorant bastard, is as stingy as he is stupid. He has ruined the thriving company and turned it into a small business. Yet, he is too proud to see that. The way things are going, we will be living like paupers soon. Even if you don’t care about me, think about your daughter, who will lose her lavish lifestyle if you sabotage me.”“How dare you? How dare you threaten me with Lydia?

    Liam finished his narrative and went close to Kyle.He knelt beside his half-brother and said, “Kyle, you are my brother by blood. But in my heart, you have always been my son.”“I will do anything and everything for you. Not because I feel obligated or you were a responsibility thrust onto me, or because my mother ruined your mother’s life. But because I love you from the bottom of my heart. If anything happens to you, I will lose my mind.”“What happened to previous generations is their karma and their lives. What we do defines our life and our karma.”“You are my son and will remain so until you return to P City Military as the Colonel. Until then, you mustn’t tell anyone about it.”“I never told you about your mother because I have immense respect and compassion for her. I did not want to lie to you or gloss over her story. I wanted to tell you when you are older, so you can appreciate her sacrifices.”“Nevertheless, you will always be my son and my highest priority. I love you so

    Liam took a while before he braced himself for the next part.“My mother thought my father was cheating on her with Aunty Keira.”“My father kept everything about Aunty Keira a secret because he hadn’t identified all the people on the inside who worked for him. So for her safety, he dealt with everything directly. He had created a fake ID and passport for her for an emergency. If she ran into any trouble, or if he died, then she could flee and settle down abroad.”“My mother thought he was planning to elope with her. She went after him when he had sneaked out, and she took photos. The next day, she posted all those photos in the newspaper calling Aunty Keira a bad person for flirting with a married army man and ruining a military marriage.”“Naturally, everyone found out, and the bad people captured and bullied Aunt Keira.”“The plan was almost complete. As per military protocols, my father had to prioritize the mission. My father had the last bits of information in place. So he hasti

    Liliana began when Liam stalled for time.“Kyle, your mother comes from a long line of military spies. You know what a spy is, right?”Kyle nodded.“Traditionally, only men are sent as spies because women are physically more vulnerable and comparatively more emotional. However, during your mother’s time, there was a very powerful mafia in Z city. He was extending his terror in P city. He had bribed and coerced many people at higher positions - so he would not get caught. Someone inside the Military betrayed us, and he found our spies.”Liam added, “He killed 25 of our most trained and skilled spies within a week. It left the P City Military in a very vulnerable position. My father was the Army Commander at that time. My Grandfather was in a higher position, and the mafia approached my grandfather for something. When he refused, he killed him.”“Among the 25 spies, three were from your mother’s family. Apart from them, almost 100 people from the force - Police and Military - lost their

    Liliana walked up to them and hugged them.She checked them from head to toe, much to the boy’s embarrassment. When she was satisfied that they were unharmed, she spanked them.Li looked at his mother incredulously, but she glared back at him.“How dare you run away? Didn’t you know the address of your home? If you encounter something you can’t handle, you come to me. Is that such a difficult concept to grasp?”“Look at how filthy you have become! Is this how you plan to set an example for your siblings?”Kyle hugged her and sobbed, “I am sorry, Mommy.”Li did the same, and Liliana hugged the two children close.Liliana exclaimed, “Ah! It reminds me of when we had just returned to P city. Jo - that traitor, left me for her father. I had the two of you to hug.”She led them to the ensuite bathroom and asked them to clean up. She sat them down and asked them to drink water and eat the pies she had made that afternoon.After the kids were well-fed and hydrated, she sat on the couch with

    James remained unperturbed and laughed.He added when he had calmed down.“Jacob said he kissed Mariana and realized that he was gay.”Jonathan was speechless. He hadn’t expected that twist.James ignored his friend’s expressions and slurred, “He said they were best friends and sort of dating. But the vibe between them was closer to cousins than lovers. When they kissed, he realized how much he never wanted to kiss any girl in his life ever again.”Jonathan had to stifle his laugh.‘Good for Jacob!’‘Poor Mariana lost her first kiss like that. Tch! Tch!’James continued his ramble.“Then they became even closer. Which may have been why Mariana never dated anyone.”Jonathan thought about it and added, “Makes sense! She wouldn’t have needed to look for a relationship, and others would have assumed she wasn’t available.”James continued, “Jacob once took her horse riding. She fell and had a fracture. Her hymen tore when she fell. Then I slept with her and shouted at her for making a fuss

    Jonathan and Liliana stopped talking and embraced each other while lying quietly on the bed.Jonathan was about to drift asleep when Liliana spoke.“Do you still want to have another child?”He was stunned and sat up immediately.“What do you mean?”She turned around and asked, “Well, you never brought it up since we talked about it half a year ago.”He couldn’t understand what she was getting at. He asked, “So?”She mumbled, “I just think it is the right time, and maybe we should try. I will turn thirty soon, and it might cause complications.”He asked, “I still don’t know what you are trying to say.”She rolled her eyes and asked, “I want to know if you still want another child.
