They walked out of the conference room to find Emily standing just outside. Emily’s gaze lingered on Lilian, studying her carefully.Moses frowned as soon as he saw her. If not for his sister’s involvement, he would have fired Emily without a second thought that very day.“What are you doing here?” Moses demanded, his face darkening with irritation.Emily shook her head, her gaze darting nervously between Moses and Lilian. “I’m sorry,” she stammered. “I just went to make some coffee and was heading back to my department.”Moses scrutinized her silently, his expression hard to read.Lilian, however, looked at Emily with an amused smile. She clapped her hands lightly, as though she had just thought of the perfect idea. “Excellent timing! There are some coffee cups left behind by the shareholders. You should clear them and rinse the cups,” she instructed, her tone both sweet and commanding.Emily’s expression soured at the suggestion. “I’m not an errand girl,” she protested, frowning. “Y

Noah drove directly to a restaurant. The two enjoyed a quiet meal together, catching up and laughing about small things. Once they finished eating, Noah suggested they go to a gaming club to watch some fights.At first, Lilian hesitated. It had been years since she last went to one of those places—five years, to be exact. She used to find the matches thrilling, especially since she enjoyed learning self-defense techniques by observing the fighters. However, after giving birth to Matt, her priorities had shifted, and she stopped going entirely.Noah, noticing her hesitation, smiled reassuringly. “Come on, you used to love it,” he said.Lilian nodded eventually. She did enjoy it back then, and it wouldn’t hurt to relive the experience for just one night. “Alright,” she agreed.When they arrived at the gaming club, Noah spared no expense, purchasing VIP tickets. Their seats were in a private room with a perfect view of the arena. It was comfortable and quiet, allowing them to enjoy the m

Weeks passed, and preparations for the upcoming company banquet were in full swing. The event was designed to be a grand occasion, meant to introduce Lilian officially as the family’s long-lost daughter and reveal her true identity to the world.The family had wanted to host the event much earlier, but Lilian wasn’t ready then. The idea of stepping into such an unfamiliar spotlight had felt daunting. However, now that she had grown closer to her family and adjusted to her new life, she was finally prepared.When Moses brought up the banquet during a casual conversation, Lilian had surprised him by agreeing without hesitation.“It’s time,” she had said simply, her tone calm but resolute.Overjoyed, Moses wasted no time informing their father, who was elated by the news. Their father, always supportive, promised he would attend, no matter his packed schedule. Her brothers were equally enthusiastic, eager to be part of the event and to show their support for their sister.Moses dove head

Lilian and Noah walked into the dimly lit bar, the chatter of patrons and the faint clinking of glasses filling the air. The siblings had left their house without informing their older brother, Moses, who would undoubtedly disapprove if he knew where they were.Lilian had taken extra care to disguise herself. She wore an oversized black shirt and baggy trousers, her hair tied up neatly in a way that concealed its length. Her androgynous outfit, coupled with her posture, made her look convincingly masculine. If someone didn’t study her closely, they wouldn’t think twice about assuming she was a man.As they entered, Lilian choose a seat near her brother, easing into it with deliberate nonchalance. The room smelled of beer and roasted peanuts, and dim yellow lights cast a warm glow on the polished wooden tables.A cheerful waitress approached them, her lips curving into a friendly smile.“Hello, gentlemen. What can I get you tonight?” she asked, her tone casual but polite. She glanced a

It was Marcus again!Lilian felt a wave of frustration rise within her. Must she run into him—or one of his meddlesome family members—every single time she stepped out? She averted her gaze, hoping he hadn’t noticed her. Even the waitress at the bar had mistaken her for a man tonight, so perhaps Marcus wouldn’t recognize her either.Lowering her head, Lilian quickened her pace, attempting to slip past him unnoticed. But just as she thought she was in the clear, a firm hand grabbed her wrist.“Lilian,” he said, his voice unmistakably familiar.Her heart dropped. How had he recognized her? She froze for a second before forcing herself to respond. “I’m not Lilian,” she said, her voice pitched lower in an attempt to sound masculine.Marcus laughed—a low, amused chuckle that sent chills down her spine. “I know it’s you,” he said with confidence. “I could recognize your scent anywhere. Stop pretending.”Lilian frowned, her mind racing. My scent? she thought incredulously. Did she even have

Lilian walked back into the bar, her steps steady despite the turmoil simmering beneath the surface. She returned to the table where Noah sat waiting for her. His sharp gaze immediately scanned her face.“Did something happen?” he asked, his tone filled with concern.Lilian shook her head, forcing a small smile. She didn’t want him worrying about her more than he already did. “Nothing. I’m fine,” she said, keeping her voice light. “Let’s go.”Noah didn’t look convinced, but he nodded, standing up without argument. Together, they left the bar and stepped into the car. As they drove away, the night air was silent except for the hum of the engine.Noah glanced at her again, his worry evident. “Are you sure? Did something happen in the restroom?”Lilian sighed, her gaze fixed on the passing streetlights. “No, nothing happened,” she said, her voice calm now that she had composed herself. “Why do you keep asking?”Noah studied her for a moment but chose not to press further. “No reason,” he

Lilian woke up again and glanced outside the window. She had no idea when she’d fallen asleep. Groggily, she looked around for her phone to check the time.But it wasn’t on the bed. Frustrated, she got up, showered, and quickly changed into her work attire.She walked downstairs and into the living room, where Noah was lounging on the couch, watching a show.Hearing her footsteps, he raised his head and looked up. “Oh, you’re awake,” he said.Lilian nodded, her expression still groggy. “Yes. What time is it?” she asked as she walked toward the kitchen.“3:50 p.m.,” Noah replied casually.“What??” Lilian’s voice rose in shock. She couldn’t believe how late it was.Noah smirked, turning his attention fully to her. “What time were you planning to go to work?” he asked, chuckling.Lilian rolled her eyes, still processing the wasted day. “I thought I only took a one- or two-hour nap,” she admitted with an awkward laugh.Noah shrugged. “Brother said you could take the day off today,” he rem

Mrs. Thompson frowned deeply when she heard this. “Moses?” she asked Lily, her voice laced with suspicion.“Well…” Lily trailed off, glancing toward where Lilian was seated. Her eyes studied the man sitting with Lilian and the boy.Mrs. Thompson followed her gaze and raised an eyebrow when she saw someone entirely different. “Who is that? She’s dating this one too?” Mrs. Thompson asked, her voice raised slightly in disbelief.Lily shook her head quickly. “I don’t think so. It might just be business,” she replied, trying to sound calm, though her uncertainty was evident.Mrs. Thompson scoffed, her lips tightening. “Business? Look at the way they’re sitting together, so close. You’re far too naive if you think there’s nothing more to this,” she said, her tone firm.“Well… maybe,” Lily conceded softly, glancing away to avoid her mother-in-law’s piercing gaze.Mrs. Thompson’s friends, noticing the exchange, turned their attention toward Lilian’s table. One of the women leaned closer, her

Pursuing My EX Wife Epilogue
“Daddy! Mom is looking for you!” 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.“Are you okay?” he asked, his eyes scanning her face for any sign of distress.Lilian let out a shaky breath. “I think my water just broke,” she said.Marcus’ eyes widened. He turned to Matt without hesitation.“Go find your uncles and grandma. Tell them your mom is in labor.”Matt didn’t 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 hadn’t been there for Matt’s birth, and he wasn’t about to miss this one.But as he watched Lilian endure contraction after contraction, pain twisting her face, he felt helpless. His fists clenched at his sides. He wished he could take the pain for her.He tightened his grip on her h

Matt’s eyes were fixed on the big screen, his brows furrowed in deep concentration.“Is it impossible to crack?” he asked, turning to Marcus.Marcus shrugged. “Seems like it.”Matt studied him for a moment, then narrowed his eyes at the screen. “I can try,” he said.Marcus stood up, making room for Matt to take his place at the laptop.The moment Matt’s 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 confidence—it was clear he knew exactly what he was doing.Marcus crossed his arms and nodded in approval, feeling an unexpected surge of pride.“Done!” Matt announced, a triumphant smile spreading across his face.Marcus immediately leaned in, eyes scanning the screen. His breath caught for a second—Matt had actually done it. The code was cracked.“Wow,” Marcus muttered, a rare smile tugging at the corners of his lips. “Good job.”Without

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

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
