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.

    "Sign it, Lilian, we are getting a divorce." Marcus's voice cut through the air like a glacial wind, its icy tone sending shivers down her spine.Lilian's brow furrowed as she heard the words, fear creeping into her heart like a chill."Remember the. birthday party we need to attend? It's almost time for it. We are supposed to leave now." Lilian forced a smile, trying to act like nothing happened but her eyes betrayed her with a hint of imperceptible hurt and tears."It is not necessary. Just sign the paper. This is best for both of us." he frowned, his voice was cold and cruel before he turned on his heel and strode out of the house.Lilian's knees trembled, her weight sinking into them as if the floor had given way beneath her. Her hands fluttered to the ground, bracing herself against the impact, as a sob escaped her lips.How could he just drop that and leave without any explanation?Lilian's thoughts raced back to the countless moments she'd sacrificed for Marcus— the late nights

    Marcus entered the hall, his soft smile preceding him as he approached, a radiant expression Lilian had never seen before.Lilian's eyes snapped open, wide with shock. Her breath hitched, throat constricting. Her heart skipped a beat, racing with a mix of confusion.Lilian's gaze flicked between the woman and herself, noticing the similarities in their features - the same nose shape, the same eye color, the same curve of their smiles. Lilian's agitation grew, her fingers quivering like leaves in an autumn breeze, her palms slick with a cold sweat as she struggled to contain her emotions. She rubbed them together and struggled to process the strange sense of familiarity.Lilian convinced herself that it was just a coincidence, but her eyes lingered on the woman, her mind still grappling with the uncanny resemblance. She wondered who she was to Marcus that made them so close. Lilian's chest caved under the weight of her emotions. It felt like a physical force, crushing her heart. Brea

    Lilian had no idea how she made her way back to the party. Her face was white, and her lips were red from biting back tears. She stood there in a daze.Suddenly, a scream came out with the sound of shattered glass.“Oh my God, what happened?”Lily crumpled to the ground, with wine and glass under her, and her arm was bleeding.Lillian stood in front of her, startled.“What kind of person would do that?” “She was standing right there. She must be the one who pushed her!” There was an outbreak of muttering at it.“I mean, you think you know someone.” People pointed at Lilian, judging her with disapproval and disgust.Lily tried to stand up, but the broken glass in her palm made her cry in pain.Just as Lillian was about to help her and pull her up, Marcus pushed Lilian away."What did you do to her?" She heard Marcus' cold voice.Marcus's eyes were icy glaciers, their frosty gaze piercing through Lilian like a winter storm, their coldness a palpable force that left her shivering, Like

    “What?” She asked in disbelief.Lilian thought she had some ear problems, maybe she misheard his words.“You heard me. Apologize to Lily now!” Marcus demanded, lowering his voice to a stern tone. “Why should I?” Lilian shook her head doubtfully.“Just drop the act. You need to apologize for pushing her,” Marcus laughed scornfully.“I did not push her. She fell down herself,” Lilian took a deep breath.“Why are you still lying? Everyone witnessed it! How could you be so cruel to do that? ” Marcus looked at Lilian with an incredulous stare.Lilian suddenly chuckled, “Is it because of her you wanted to divorce me? You cheated on me with her?” "Is that why you push her? Because of some ridiculous jealousy?" Marcus snorted."Stop dodging my question. Answer it," Lilian said firmly."That's not important. I'm saying you need to apologize,” Marcus said in annoyance."Why did you marry me in the first place?" Lilian's voice cracked, her eyes searching Marcus's face for a glimmer of truth. T

    Three days laterA frown creased Marcus's face as he gazed out the window. It had been three days and he had not heard anything from Lilian. She did not call him or even send him a text message like she always does, which was very unusual of her. Marcus's mind during the drive home. As he arrived, he didn't hesitate, getting out of the car and walking into the house with a sense of purpose.It was quiet which was not normal.Marcus walked into their room, he had not slept there for a while and this was the first time he was entering here after a long time.It was unexpected that Lilian was not inside the room.“What trick is she playing this time? What I gave her is plenty for her to live a comfortable life for the rest. Does she think that’s not enough? So greedy.” He thought with a slight frown between his eyes.He scoffed at the thought of this. This annoyed him and made him wonder why he was still thinking about that scheming woman.He turned and was about to walk out of the roo

    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

    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
