Marcus looked back, and a strange man was holding Lilian's wrist with a serious look."Let go. It's none of your business," Marcus said coldly, looking at him in bored dislike."Who are you to say that's none of my business?" The man was annoyed to laugh, not flinch even a little bit.โShe is my wife, and this is a private conversation,โ Marcus explained, trying to be patient as best as he could. " 'EXโ' wife. We were divorced years ago." Lilian corrected, clarifying there was nothing between them."Sounds like you are the one who needs to back off now." The man said it with an ironic smile."Stop! Both of you! " Lilian demanded with a frown, shaking their hands away while giving the man a look before Marcus wanted to say something."Do you know him? Who is he?" Marcus asked, confused at the intimacy of the look the man and Lilian exchanged."You just realized it until now?" The man smirked at Marcus."I'm Moses. Lilian and I are actually very close, much closer than you think." Mose

Completely exhausted, Marcus finally got home. He was surprised to see Lily there; he thought he would have some alone time after the big fight, and he was not really in the mood for another one again."Why are you here?" Marcus frowned."I just want to apologize for earlier in the office. I'm so sorry. " Lily sounded pitiful with teary eyes as she stood up and walked towards him.โWhat happened?โ Lily immediately noticed the hurt and bruises on his face. She tried to touch his face, but Marcus dodged her.After Lilian slapped him, Moses also punched him, and it turned into a fight between Marcus and Moses, ending with Marcus's friends and the security stopping them. It wasn't that bad since Moses didn't look any better than Marcus.โNothing happened. It's just an accident.โ Marcus answered with a straight face.Lily looked at him suspiciously; she felt it was weird, and it didn't seem like an accident.โWhat are you doing here?โ Marcus changed the subject."You know, I always want to

Lily never expected to see that woman again in her life.Was Lilian back for Marcus? Did Lilian just challenge her to win Marcus back?Her mind was filled with all the possibilities. Lily didn't know why she panicked but she calmed herself for Marcus had chosen her over Lilian before and he would keep choosing her definitely."Is there anything wrong?" Favour looked at Lily worriedly, noticing Lily's expression was a bit off ever since Lily emerged from the washroom."I'm ok." Lily forced a smile but her face was pale as if she just went through something horrible."Come on, it's me. You can tell me anything." Favour insisted, looking Lily in the eyes."Well, I just saw Marcus's ex in the restroom."Lily bited her lower lip a little like she didn't know quite how to say that but she told Favour anyway.โDid she do something to you? Where is she?โ Favour asked Lily angrily.Lily looked innocent, she shook her head as she didn't want to cause any trouble, but she glanced at Lilian's dire

Favour grabbed the invitation card rudely from Lilian's hand with her face changed and checked the card thoroughly.Lilian's invitation card was similar to the invitation card Favour got. They had the same format with the same fancy lettering but they were different in details, the most obvious thing was the colour difference.Favour was relieved with a mocking smile while she casually put the invitation card on the security's hand and stated.โItโs a fake invitation card.โThe people also started whispering immediately.โShe really used a fake invitation card to get in here?โ โShe is really bold, what is her aim and purpose for coming?โโWho knows? Maybe she's a gold digger?โLily finally breathed a sigh of relief but she acted like surprised that she never thought Lilian would do that."I believed you. How could you fake the invitation? If you really want to come to the party, you could always come to me and Marcus for help." Lily said in frustration but she smiled to Lilian secret

A stunned look on Clara's face as the man's imposing figure emerged from the crowd.โHello, Mr. Stephan. Is there anything wrong?" Clara put on a smile. Clara didn't expect it would draw Mr. Stephan's awareness. Mr. Stephan was not the kind of person who would get into things like this. So what brought him here now? Clara refused to think about the worst possible scenario."Sheโs with me." The man's chin pointed in Lilian's direction slightly and a simple statement of his was powerful enough.Clara's biggest fear came true."I'm truly sorry, Mr. Stephan. I don't know that. This must be a misunderstanding." Clara apologized right the second and her face grew pale with great anxiety.The Stephan family was a low-key family which meant it was extremely hard to make a connection with them. Clara's father put in so much effort and prepared a lot to finally have a tiny possibility. The Stephan family was the only reason the whole party existed. Her father would kill her if Clara was the on

โSorry, I just lost my footing and did not stand still,โ Lily's lips curled into a strained smile as she stood up straight, her shoulders squaring, and her eyes wandering in embarrassment. Lilian revealed a hint of disdain in her eyes. She knew exactly what happened, another textbook example of Lily's little tricks, trying to escape and also frame her again, two birds with one stone.If Lily still thought she was the same person Lily could make a fool of, then she was wrong. The old Lilian had died and she was not naive anymore.โIt seems you are the one here with no invitation card tho,โ Lilian scoffed, she would not let Lily get away easily this time.Lily was shaking in pressure and her breath caught in her throat when she saw everyone whispering and pointing at her.How could she be the one down in the confrontation with Lilian? From when things started to out of her control exactly? What could she do to save it now?Lily's hands fluttered involuntarily and her eyes blinked faste

โIโm so sorry for all the troubles that happened.โ Lily's apology spilled out a rush of sincerity and regret the second they got in the car. Her voice trembled when facing Marcus, the dim car interior accentuating the vulnerability etched on her face.Marcus's silence hung heavy, fixed his gaze on the road ahead with his jaw clenched in restraint, punctuated only by the soft hum of the car engine.โI didnโt mean to disturb her, I thought we could be friends but it seems like Lilian still thinks worse of me.โ Lily's voice tinged with frustration.Marcus did not pay much attention to what Lily was saying, he was still distraught by everything about Lilian. Why did Lilian come back at this point? Where was she all these years? What was she doing with that man? Why they were so close?There were still a lot of open questions about her on his mind and he couldn't figure out."Have you always been kept in touch with Lilian?" Lily's question drew him back to reality suddenly.Her voice trem

As Lily and Marcus made their way back to the party, they sat down close to each other this time. โI have talked to my business partner, he will take us to meet him laterโ Marcus told Lily.Lily nodded her head, she was immediately happy when Marcus said this. โThank youโ She smiled.Marcus nodded his head.Soon his business partner approached them. โMoses have agreed to let you meetโ He said.โThank youโ Marcus thanked him.โThank you so muchโ Lily thanked him with a smile on her face.โIt is fineโ His business partner said to her before walking away.After a while, Marcus' business partner came to where they were. โHe said he is ready to meet you nowโ He said to him.They both stood up and followed him into one of the rooms.The business partner opened the door, and walked in.

โDaddy! Mom is looking for you!โ Matt called out, his voice urgent.Marcus immediately stepped into the room and hurried toward Lilian, who sat on the bed, cradling her swollen belly.โAre you okay?โ he asked, his eyes scanning her face for any sign of distress.Lilian let out a shaky breath. โI think my water just broke,โ she said.Marcusโ eyes widened. He turned to Matt without hesitation.โGo find your uncles and grandma. Tell them your mom is in labor.โMatt didnโt waste a second. He spun around and dashed out of the room, his heart racing with excitement. His baby sister was finally coming!Lilian was rushed to the hospital without delay.Inside the delivery room, Marcus refused to leave her side. He hadnโt been there for Mattโs birth, and he wasnโt about to miss this one.But as he watched Lilian endure contraction after contraction, pain twisting her face, he felt helpless.

Mattโs eyes were fixed on the big screen, his brows furrowed in deep concentration.โIs it impossible to crack?โ he asked, turning to Marcus.Marcus shrugged. โSeems like it.โMatt studied him for a moment, then narrowed his eyes at the screen. โI can try,โ he said.Marcus stood up, making room for Matt to take his place at the laptop.The moment Mattโs fingers touched the keyboard, they moved with a speed and precision that left Marcus stunned. He had never seen Matt type before, and watching him now was mesmerizing. He did it with such ease, such confidenceโit was clear he knew exactly what he was doing.Marcus crossed his arms and nodded in approval, feeling an unexpected surge of pride.โDone!โ Matt announced, a triumphant smile spreading across his face.Marcus immediately leaned in, eyes scanning the screen. His breath caught for a secondโMatt had actually done it. The code was cracked.โWow,โ Marcus muttered, a rare smile tugging at the corners of his lips. โGood job.โWithout

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. โDad,โ Lilian greeted him. Gabriel looked up and smiled. โYouโre back. How was work?โ he asked. โIt was fine, Dad,โ she replied, turning her attention to the elderly man. โGood evening, sir,โ she greeted him politely. โHow are you doing?โ the man asked, his face lighting up with a warm smile. โIโm doing very well, sir. What about you?โ Lilian responded, offering him a smile of her own. โIโm doing fine. You look so beautiful,โ the old man said, nodding his head approvingly. Lilian blushed at the compliment. โThank you, sir.โ โThis is Marcusโ grandfather,โ Gabriel introduced. Lilian froze in surprise. She had never met Marcusโ grandfather before. This was her first time meeting him. โOh! Hello, sir!โ she greeted him warmly, now understanding who he was. โWe never met when you and Marcus were still together,โ 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 womanโs 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 deceivedโmanipulated 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.โCome in,โ 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 hadnโt expected to see them today.Matt, beaming with excitement, didnโt wait for an invitation. He stepped forward, walking straight toward Marcusโs desk.โGood morning!โ the boy greeted enthusiastically.Marcus stood from his chair, his gaze shifting between Lilian and Matt. His lips curled into a rare, genuine smile. โGood morning, Matt. How are you?โโIโ

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 couldnโt quite place it.โSheโฆโ he muttered, trying to recall. He knew this womanโhe was sure of it. But from where?โShe used to work for your company,โ Marcus supplied, his tone flat. โShe got fired, and after that, she developed a deep hatred for Lilian. She believed Lilian was the reason she lost her job.โMoses clenched his fists. โDamn it.โ 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 wouldnโt have been dragged into this mess.Marcus exhaled sharply before turning back to the captive man. He crossed his arms and studied him carefully. โSoooโฆ are you ready?โ 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 Mosesโ number.The call connected after two rings.โWho else did you tell about me taking those men to the warehouse?โ Marcus asked, his voice calm but firm.Moses hesitated for a second before answering, โNoah.โMarcus frowned slightly. โIs he a hacker?โโNo, heโs not. Why? Whatโs wrong?โ Mosesโ voice carried a hint of concern. โDid they escape?โโNo, they didnโt.โ Marcusโ eyes darkened as he recalled the email Hilary had received. โBut my assistant just got an emailโฆ and it contains every detail we need.โThere was silence on the other end for a moment before Moses spoke again. โWhere are you right now?โโIโm on my way to the warehouse,โ Marcus replied as he continued walking.โOkay, Iโm coming now,โ Moses said. Marcus could hear the rustling of movement, as if he was already getting up.โAlright.โ 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 feltโฆ 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 Marcusโ 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.โGood morning, sir,โ he greeted Marcus respectfully.Marcus gave a curt nod, acknowledging him
