This made Marcus smile. “Okay.”Lilian turned her back to him while he took his bath, making sure not to peek. She heard the sound of water splashing as he moved under the shower, the faint scent of soap filling the air. She sat on the edge of the bed, waiting, but the silence between them made time stretch unbearably slow.After about fifteen minutes, Marcus finally spoke. “I’m done.”Lilian turned around and glanced at him. She tried to keep her gaze on his face, but her eyes betrayed her, flickering downward for a split second. Quickly, she walked toward him and picked up a towel, her fingers working mechanically as she helped him wash his back.Marcus let out a soft sigh and closed his eyes, savoring the moment of peace. He rarely had time to relax, and despite the situation, this felt oddly comforting. Lilian’s hands were gentle, her touch light yet firm as she worked.Just as she finished, Marcus reached for the shower knob and twisted it, sending a rush of water pouring down hi

Marcus was discharged from the hospital after spending a week recovering. The moment he was cleared to leave, he felt a strong urge to return to his normal routine, though something in his gut told him that things were far from over.The following day, Lilian resumed work, slipping seamlessly back into her responsibilities as if nothing had happened. Despite her composed exterior, Marcus knew she was still shaken. He had seen it in her eyes—the lingering fear, the occasional distracted look. He made a mental note to check in on her later.That morning, as he sat in his office, his assistant, Hilary, walked in with a troubled expression.“Sir,” Hilary began hesitantly, “I just returned from the station, but the officers refused to release the men.”Marcus frowned. “Why?”“They said they need Mr. Moses’ signature before they can release them into my custody,” Hilary explained.Marcus exhaled sharply, leaning back in his chair. “Alright, I’ll call him.”Hilary nodded and bowed slightly b

The moment they stepped outside, the sound of tires rolling over gravel drew their attention. Hilary’s car pulled in smoothly, its headlights cutting through the dim evening light.As soon as the car came to a halt, Hilary stepped out, accompanied by two other men dressed in dark suits. Without hesitation, they walked toward Marcus and Moses, stopping a few feet away. The three men bowed their heads slightly in acknowledgment, their expressions unreadable.Marcus didn’t waste time. His voice was firm, his authority unmistakable. “Take them away,” he ordered, motioning toward the two captives.Hilary nodded. Without hesitation, the two men in suits grabbed hold of the prisoners, dragging them away without a word. The captives struggled weakly, but it was pointless. Their fate was no longer in their hands.As the car doors shut, Marcus watched in silence as Hilary and his men drove off, disappearing into the night. He exhaled slowly, then turned to face Moses.“I’ll update you,” he said

The room was silent except for the steady hum of the overhead light.Marcus stood still, his cold gaze fixed on the two men bound to the metal chairs in the center of the dimly lit room. They had been sitting there for hours, their wrists and ankles tightly restrained, their expressions shifting between fear and forced bravado.Marcus let the silence stretch, letting them feel the weight of what was coming.Then, without a word, he reached over and pressed a button.The reaction was immediate.A deafening scream tore through the air as the two men convulsed in their chairs. Their bodies jerked violently, their muscles spasming under the unbearable heat surging through the metal beneath them.The first man thrashed against his restraints, his voice hoarse with agony. “PLEASE! STOP! I’LL CONFESS—AHHHH!” His head jerked back as another wave of pain shot through him. “I’LL TALK—I’LL TALK!”The second man clenched his jaw, sweat dripping down his face. He tried to suppress his reaction, bu

Marcus returned to the office, his mind still racing from the events of the past few days. The moment he stepped inside, Hilary walked in as well, his usual composed expression in place. He held a tablet in his hand, ready for orders.“Sir.”Marcus barely spared him a glance before speaking. “Investigate the other guy—the one who refused to talk at first. I want to know everything about him and the woman he’s trying to protect.” His voice was sharp, his patience running thin.Hilary immediately nodded, his fingers already moving to jot down the details. “Understood, boss. I’ll get started on it right away.” He turned toward the door, preparing to leave.“Wait,” Marcus said, stopping him in his tracks.Hilary turned back, standing at attention. “Yes, sir?”Marcus hesitated for a brief moment, his fingers twitching slightly as he recalled something that had been gnawing at him. “I saw a scar on Lilian when she was taking care of me in the hospital… and I remember seeing the same scar on

Hilary walked into the office, his heart pounding, his hands clammy. The weight of the situation pressed down on him like a storm cloud. Security had immediately stepped in, and within moments, they were escorting her away. The woman who had deceived them for so many years—Lily—was finally being removed from their lives.Marcus stood motionless, his jaw clenched so tightly it ached. His fists curled at his sides, his entire body rigid with suppressed rage. His mind reeled, struggling to process the truth that had just shattered everything he had ever believed.He had been deceived. Lied to. For years.His whole life had been shaped by a single moment—a memory that had led him down the wrong path, making him believe in something that wasn’t real. And because of that false belief, he had lost the most important person in his life.His wife.The reason he had been so overprotective of Lily all these years wasn’t just because he cared for her—it was because, as a child, he had nearly drow

Lilian’s gaze dropped to Marcus’s arm, her brows furrowing at the sight of the fresh wounds. His knuckles were red and raw, and there was a thin trickle of blood trailing down his hand.“Are you okay?” she asked softly, concern evident in her tone.Marcus looked at her, his expression unreadable. After a brief silence, he gave a slow nod. “Yes, I’m fine,” he murmured. His voice was rough, as if the weight of his emotions had drained him completely.He took a step forward, intending to close the space between them.Then—A sharp, unmistakable crunch echoed through the room.Marcus winced, his entire body stiffening. His foot had landed directly on the shattered glass strewn across the floor from his earlier outburst. A sharp pain shot up his leg, but he barely reacted.Lilian’s eyes widened. “Marcus—”He groaned, feeling the sting deepen as he shifted his weight.Lilian instinctively moved toward him, her hands reaching out to steady him. But before she could get close, he raised a han

Lilian woke up to the sound of the door creaking open. A soft shuffle of footsteps followed, and she turned her head in the direction of the noise. The doctor and a nurse walked in, their expressions neutral but observant as they approached.She sat up slowly, rubbing her temples as confusion settled in. Something felt… off. Her eyes widened when she looked down and realized she was lying on the hospital bed.How?She clearly remembered sitting on the chair by Marcus’ bedside. She had rested her head against the mattress for a bit, but she was certain she had never moved. Had someone placed her on the bed while she was asleep? But who?Her gaze flickered toward Marcus, who was still sitting in the chair beside her, watching her with a calm expression.The doctor and nurse also seemed surprised to find her in bed instead of the chair. The doctor hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.“Good morning, sir,” he greeted Marcus respectfully.Marcus gave a curt nod, acknowledging him

Lilian walked into the house that evening, surprised to see her father with an elderly man. They were deep in conversation, as if they had been friends for years. “Dad,” Lilian greeted him. Gabriel looked up and smiled. “You’re back. How was work?” he asked. “It was fine, Dad,” she replied, turning her attention to the elderly man. “Good evening, sir,” she greeted him politely. “How are you doing?” the man asked, his face lighting up with a warm smile. “I’m doing very well, sir. What about you?” Lilian responded, offering him a smile of her own. “I’m doing fine. You look so beautiful,” the old man said, nodding his head approvingly. Lilian blushed at the compliment. “Thank you, sir.” “This is Marcus’ grandfather,” Gabriel introduced. Lilian froze in surprise. She had never met Marcus’ grandfather before. This was her first time meeting him. “Oh! Hello, sir!” she greeted him warmly, now understanding who he was. “We never met when you and Marcus were still together,” the old

The next day, Linda was arrested and charged with attempted murder and kidnapping. Additionally, her history of bullying had led to a young woman’s suicide, further worsening her case. The weight of her crimes was undeniable, and with the overwhelming evidence against her, there was no room for denial.As soon as the police took her into custody, news of her arrest spread quickly. Social media was flooded with posts about the woman who had orchestrated kidnappings, attempted murders, and had driven someone to their death through sheer cruelty.In the cold, gray confines of the prison, Linda sat on a hard bench, her arms crossed tightly over her chest. The prison cell smelled of rust and sweat, and the metal bars that caged her in seemed to close in more with each passing second.Then, the sound of approaching footsteps made her stiffen. She looked up, and her expression immediately twisted into one of pure hatred.The man she had once deceived—manipulated into risking his life for her

Marcus sat at his desk, fingers moving swiftly across his laptop keyboard as he reviewed the latest security reports. His office was quiet except for the rhythmic tapping of his fingers. The sunlight streaming through the window cast a soft glow on the room, highlighting the expensive furnishings and the neatly organized stacks of paperwork on his desk.A sudden knock at the door interrupted his focus.“Come in,” he called out without looking up.The door swung open, and when he finally looked up, he was surprised to see Lilian standing there with Matt by her side.His brows lifted slightly, but his expression quickly softened. He hadn’t expected to see them today.Matt, beaming with excitement, didn’t wait for an invitation. He stepped forward, walking straight toward Marcus’s desk.“Good morning!” the boy greeted enthusiastically.Marcus stood from his chair, his gaze shifting between Lilian and Matt. His lips curled into a rare, genuine smile. “Good morning, Matt. How are you?”“I’

Marcus shrugged and turned to Moses, pulling out his phone. With a swipe, he brought up a picture of Linda and held it out for him to see.Moses squinted at the image, his brow furrowing. Something about her seemed familiar, but he couldn’t quite place it.“She…” he muttered, trying to recall. He knew this woman—he was sure of it. But from where?“She used to work for your company,” Marcus supplied, his tone flat. “She got fired, and after that, she developed a deep hatred for Lilian. She believed Lilian was the reason she lost her job.”Moses clenched his fists. “Damn it.” His jaw tightened as guilt weighed down on him. He should have been keeping an eye on Linda, should have monitored her actions. If he had, maybe Lilian wouldn’t have been dragged into this mess.Marcus exhaled sharply before turning back to the captive man. He crossed his arms and studied him carefully. “Sooo… are you ready?” he asked, his tone casual but laced with authority.The man slowly lifted his head, his ex

Marcus pulled out his phone as he strode into the dimly lit warehouse. His fingers moved swiftly across the screen as he dialed Moses’ number.The call connected after two rings.“Who else did you tell about me taking those men to the warehouse?” Marcus asked, his voice calm but firm.Moses hesitated for a second before answering, “Noah.”Marcus frowned slightly. “Is he a hacker?”“No, he’s not. Why? What’s wrong?” Moses’ voice carried a hint of concern. “Did they escape?”“No, they didn’t.” Marcus’ eyes darkened as he recalled the email Hilary had received. “But my assistant just got an email… and it contains every detail we need.”There was silence on the other end for a moment before Moses spoke again. “Where are you right now?”“I’m on my way to the warehouse,” Marcus replied as he continued walking.“Okay, I’m coming now,” Moses said. Marcus could hear the rustling of movement, as if he was already getting up.“Alright.” Marcus ended the call.The cold, musty air of the warehouse
