Grandpa was impressed, though he wouldn’t admit it aloud. He had assumed Lily was just another spoiled young woman—a pampered mistress who didn’t know how to do anything useful. But her actions today had proved him wrong.Marcus glanced at his wristwatch, the subtle movement catching Grandpa’s attention.“Do you have work to do?” Grandpa asked, his tone direct.Marcus nodded. “Yes, I need to take care of something at the company,” he replied respectfully.Grandpa raised an eyebrow, scrutinizing him for a moment. Then he gave a curt nod. “You can leave, then,” he said simply.Lily, who had been sitting quietly, felt a wave of relief. She had been eager to leave but didn’t dare voice it. She cast a helpless look at Marcus, silently pleading with him to include her.Mrs. Thompson noticed Lily’s discomfort and decided to intervene. “Lily, you should go with him,” she said, smiling kindly.Lily’s eyes lit up, and she turned to Mrs. Thompson with a grateful smile. “Okay, Mom,” she said quic

Everything had been going smoothly for Lilian. Her brothers had taken charge of all the party preparations, leaving her with only one job: to rest at home. Though she felt restless, wanting to contribute, they were adamant. “Just relax, Lilian,” they insisted. “You’ve been working too hard. Let us handle this.”With no choice but to follow their instructions, Lilian spent her time reading, watching TV, and trying to enjoy the rare chance to slow down. It wasn’t easy for her, though. She loved being hands-on, and sitting idle felt unnatural.That morning, as the sunlight streamed through the curtains, Lilian walked into the living room. The house was quiet except for the faint rustle of leaves outside. She immediately noticed her dad sitting on the couch, a cup of coffee in his hand, his face relaxed and thoughtful.“Good morning, Dad,” Lilian greeted, her voice light and cheerful. A smile spread across her face as she stepped closer.Her dad looked up at her, his expression softening.

Lilian opened the backseat door for Matt, gesturing for him to hop into the car. As he climbed in, his eyes widened in surprise the moment they landed on his grandpa sitting in the front seat.“Grandpa!” he exclaimed, his voice filled with excitement. His face immediately broke into a big smile.“Yes, it’s me,” Grandpa replied, turning slightly in his seat to look at Matt. “Are you happy to see me?”Matt nodded enthusiastically, his head bobbing up and down. “Yes, yes!” he said repeatedly, his grin stretching from ear to ear.Lilian couldn’t help but smile at their exchange as she closed the door for Matt. She then made her way to the passenger side, opened the door, and slipped into the seat next to her dad.Her father started the car, a contented smile lingering on his face as he glanced in the rearview mirror at Matt. The car smoothly rolled away from the school parking lot, leaving behind the afternoon buzz of children and parents.“So, young man,” Grandpa said as he adjusted the

Lilian sat comfortably on the couch in the living room, scrolling through her phone with a relaxed expression. The house was peaceful, the soft hum of the air conditioner blending with the quiet sounds of the afternoon. It was one of those rare moments when everything seemed to be in place. Her mind wandered briefly to the events of the day, but the tranquility was broken when she heard the familiar sound of footsteps.It was Matt, her young son, bounding into the room with the energy that only a child could muster. His face was lit with excitement, a wide grin spreading across his features.Lilian raised an eyebrow as she saw him approaching. “You’re done with your school assignment?” she asked, her tone a mix of curiosity and playful suspicion.Matt nodded confidently, his chest puffed out slightly as if he had just accomplished something monumental. “Yes, I’m done,” he said, a smug smile creeping across his face.Lilian couldn’t help but roll her eyes at his display but didn’t hide

Matt held his grandpa’s hand tightly as they strolled through the garden, the sunlight filtering through the trees and casting soft patterns on the ground. Grandpa walked with a steady, deliberate pace, his cane tapping rhythmically against the stone path.As they approached a shaded area with a circle of chairs, a group of elderly men, all Grandpa’s friends, were already seated, chatting animatedly. Their conversations quieted when they noticed Grandpa arriving.The men lit up at the sight of him, their faces brightening with smiles. One of them, a stern-looking man with a surprisingly warm grin, stood up first.“You’re finally here!” he exclaimed, his tone laced with both humor and affection.“Yes, I’m here,” Grandpa replied with a slight nod, his voice calm but laced with authority.“Come, let’s sit down and enjoy ourselves,” the man said, gesturing toward the empty chairs. He led Grandpa to a comfortable spot, and Matt followed closely, sitting down beside his grandfather.As they

Silas glanced at Matt, who sat quietly among the group of chatting adults. “Young man,” he said kindly, “are you not bored sitting here with us old folks? Why don’t you go inside and play with the other kids? They’re just in the living room.”Matt shook his head politely, but before he could respond, Gabriel patted his hand and spoke gently. “You can go, Matt. It’s okay.”Matt hesitated briefly, then nodded. Rising from his seat, he walked toward the house.Inside, the living room buzzed with energy. A group of children laughed and played together, their voices blending into a happy cacophony. When Matt entered, the lively chatter stopped, and all eyes turned toward him. The kids froze in curiosity, their movements halting as they took in the unfamiliar face.They stared at Matt, their expressions ranging from curiosity to cautious interest. It was clear this was their first time meeting him. Despite the attention, Matt remained calm, his face betraying no emotion. Without a word, he

Matt stood up immediately when he heard Silas’s voice calling him from the doorway. Aria, still sitting beside him, looked up with wide, curious eyes.“Your name is Matt?” she asked, tilting her head in surprise.Matt nodded silently, avoiding speaking. He didn’t want to break the illusion of their quiet connection or make her feel uncomfortable around him.Aria blinked, then smiled brightly. “I’ll remember your name,” she said, her tone full of promise.Matt hesitated for a moment, giving her one last glance. There was something warm and genuine about the way she spoke that made it difficult for him to leave. But without a word, he turned and walked toward Silas, who stood waiting for him with an expectant smile.“Where have you been, young man?” Silas asked cheerfully. “Did you enjoy your time here?” He leaned down slightly, looking at Matt as if trying to gauge his mood.Silas reached out, intending to take Matt’s hand, but Matt instinctively stepped back, maintaining his polite di

“That’s good! Do you want to go again next time?” Lilian asked Matt, leaning closer to catch his reaction. Her face lit up with anticipation as she awaited his answer. This was the first time her son had openly expressed enjoying the company of other children, and it was a moment she wanted to savor.“Yes!” Matt exclaimed, his eyes sparkling with joy.Lilian’s heart swelled with happiness. It wasn’t always easy to get Matt to engage with others, and hearing him so excited about his day felt like a small victory. She pulled him into a gentle hug and kissed the top of his head.“I’m so glad you had fun, sweetheart. We can go back anytime you want,” she said warmly, her voice soft and reassuring.Matt nodded eagerly, his face beaming.“Are you hungry? I’ll make dinner for you,” Lilian added, brushing his hair back from his forehead.“Okay, Mom,” he replied, his voice carrying a hint of eagerness.Lilian helped him lie down on the couch, fluffing a pillow under his head to make him more c

Lilian twisted the doorknob and pushed the door open, surprised to find a very young man sitting inside. He looked up at her, his posture relaxed but curious.“Uhm… I think there’s been a mix-up somewhere,” Lilian said, pulling out her phone to text her father. She had been certain that she was in the wrong room, and now she needed to double-check the details.The man raised an eyebrow at her comment. “You can come in,” he said, his voice polite but a little too calm for her liking.Lilian frowned. He was a stranger, and she had no reason to trust him, despite his friendly tone. She looked at him warily, still holding her phone in her hand.She waited for a moment, tapping her fingers on the screen as she sent the message to her father.“The room number is wrong, Dad. Are you sure this is it?”She stared at the phone, expecting a quick response, but there was a slight delay. The minutes felt long, and Lilian became more impatient by the second.It wasn’t long before her father’s messa

Marcus had also found out about the news circulating on the internet. His personal assistant was the first to tell him.“Tell them to take the news down,” Marcus instructed, his tone serious.“Oh, alright, sir,” his assistant responded. His fingers moved quickly across his phone screen, but moments later he blinked, looking confused. “I think the news has already been removed,” he said, his expression mixed with surprise and disbelief.Marcus raised an eyebrow. “It must be Moses,” he murmured to himself, letting out a heavy sigh. “She has so many people who care about her, people willing to protect her at any cost.” He felt a wave of relief wash over him as he thought of how surrounded Lilian was with people who cared for her deeply, her family especially. Though he couldn’t be the one protecting her, it comforted him to know that there were others looking out for her.As his mind lingered on Lilian, the shrill sound of his phone ringing cut through his thoughts.Ringggg.Marcus glanc

The news of Lilian and Marcus sitting together in a café spread like wildfire across the internet. She had no idea, though—she rarely checked her social media.Her brothers, however, found out first. Noah, to be precise.He walked into the living room, his face clouded with irritation. The sharp set of his jaw and the furrow in his brows were enough to tell everyone present that something had happened. He turned his head toward Lilian and spoke in a clipped tone.“Did you meet Marcus at a café?”He settled onto the couch, his voice carrying a weight that immediately put Lilian on edge.She frowned slightly, trying to recall. “Marcus?” she repeated. Then, as if a switch had flipped in her mind, she remembered. “Oh… yes. Matt and I went to buy coffee, and he happened to walk in too.” She tilted her head, a sense of unease creeping into her tone. “What’s wrong? How do you know about this?”Noah’s expression darkened as he leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. “A reporter took

Isabella, Mrs Thompson sat at a dimly lit restaurant with a group of friends, the warm ambiance buzzing with cheerful conversation and laughter. The soft clinking of glasses and the low hum of background music filled the space, creating a cozy and elegant atmosphere.She had been trying to enjoy the evening, but something felt off. There was a lingering unease in the pit of her stomach, though she couldn’t quite place why.Then, out of nowhere, one of her friends turned to her with an inquisitive expression.“You adore Lily so much. So why did you cancel the wedding?” The friend leaned in slightly, her voice laced with curiosity. “Did she do something?”The question hit Isabella like a cold gust of wind.For a moment, she sat frozen, her fingers tightening slightly around the stem of her wine glass. She had anticipated this question at some point, but not tonight. Not here.The truth was, Lily hadn’t done anything wrong. The decision to cancel the wedding had been hers alone, and the

Lily stared at her phone, gripping it so tightly that her knuckles turned white. A deep frown settled on her face, frustration and disbelief swirling in her chest.“How did he know she was the one?” she muttered under her breath, her voice barely audible.Across the room, Sarah, her mother, caught the words and looked up sharply from the magazine she had been flipping through. Her sharp gaze landed on Lily, immediately sensing that something was wrong.“What did you just say?” Sarah asked, tilting her head slightly. “Who are you talking about?”Lily’s heart pounded. She hadn’t meant to say anything aloud. Quickly composing herself, she sat up straighter, trying to force a nonchalant expression onto her face.“No one,” she said, feigning disinterest. “I didn’t say anything.”Sarah wasn’t convinced. She gave Lily a long, assessing look, her piercing gaze trying to uncover whatever was hiding beneath her daughter’s mask. Lily fought the urge to fidget under the scrutiny, keeping her eyes

Marcus said nothing.His grandfather observed him carefully before speaking again. “Your mother told me the other day that it’s Lily you love. Is that true?”Marcus met his grandfather’s gaze but did not answer the question directly. “I will find a way to solve the problems,” he said, his voice steady but distant. Then, without another word, he stood up, bowed his head slightly as a sign of respect, and walked out of the house.Grandpa Thompson didn’t stop him. Instead, he turned to Isabella, his eyes weary. “You can leave too,” he said, his tone quiet yet firm.Isabella hesitated for a moment, watching as her father closed his eyes. She could tell he was exhausted—not just physically, but emotionally. Whenever he closed his eyes like that, it meant he didn’t want to be disturbed.She let out a small sigh and stood up, leaving the room without another word.Marcus drove aimlessly for what felt like hours, his thoughts a whirlwind of emotions he wasn’t ready to face. His hands gripped

“This will be the last warning.”Marcus frowned as he read the message on his phone, his fingers gripping the device tightly.A sense of foreboding settled in his chest as he tapped on the image attached to the message. The moment the photo loaded, his expression darkened. His jaw clenched. He immediately understood the warning.Shaking his head, he scrolled down, reading through the harsh comments under the news article. The story was about Lilian, and the comment section was flooded with insults, gossip, and outright lies. People were tearing her apart, dragging her reputation through the mud.Marcus exhaled sharply.He already had a strong suspicion about who was behind this.Lily.But he had no idea just how far she was willing to go.His fingers hovered over the screen before he forwarded the message to Lily. He didn’t add any words—just a single question mark.Barely a second later, his phone rang.He glanced at the screen. Lily.Marcus answered, pressing the phone to his ear.“

Noah raised an eyebrow, clearly puzzled by the situation unfolding before him.Moses, unfazed, shrugged his shoulders. He glanced at the email address once again, but there was nothing. The address was null—completely untraceable. Frustrated, Moses looked up at Franklin, his expression turning more serious. “Can you find the person’s email address? If we could find a way to become friends with them, maybe it wouldn’t be so bad. We could use that to our advantage,” Moses suggested, his voice calm but with an edge of determination.Franklin shook his head, the frustration evident in his own voice. “No, it’s impossible. The person used a one-time email address. It’s designed to disappear once it’s been used. No way to track it,” he explained, his tone apologetic but firm.Moses furrowed his brow at the news. “But how did they know we’d need this information?” he muttered, more to himself than anyone else. “Who is this person? Why are they so involved in all this?” His mind was racing wit

Matt walked into his room and closed the door behind him. His small face was scrunched in frustration, and his lips were pressed into a thin line.He sat down at his desk, turned on his computer, and quickly logged in.Something felt off.He had sensed it the moment he left the living room.And now, curiosity burned inside him like an itch he needed to scratch.He opened his browser and went straight to the internet to see what was happening.He didn’t even have to search for long.His mother’s name was plastered all over the headlines.Matt’s heart dropped.With slightly shaky fingers, he clicked on one of the trending articles.As soon as the page loaded, his eyes skimmed over the comments section.It was full of hatred.“She’s beautiful, but she has such a wicked heart.”“Right? I heard she changed the wedding hall at the last minute just to ruin Lily’s big day.”“I think she’s just jealous that Lily was going to marry a handsome man like Marcus.”“Exactly!
