Ray didn’t wait for another challenge. Without hesitation, he stepped forward, scooping Lilly into his arms like a princess. Her body was lighter than he’d expected, as though she hadn’t eaten properly in weeks.

Lilly gasped, her arms instinctively looping around his neck, her smirk never fading. “Oh, we’re doing this now, huh?” she teased, her voice dripping with amusement.

“Lucas, Viktor,” Ray barked, his tone leaving no room for argument. “Handle the rest of the situation. Clear the area and get them back to HQ for questioning. I’m taking her to safety.”

Lucas exchanged a look with Viktor, then nodded, his hand already moving to his earpiece. “Got it. We’ll clean up here.”

Viktor eyed Lilly warily, his lips pressing into a thin line. “Be careful, Ray.”

Ray didn’t respond. His focus was solely on the woman in his arms—the woman he loved, no matter how much she had changed.

As they exited the warehouse, the dim glow of the setting sun cast a golden hue over them. Lilly rested her hea

    The hum of the engine roared to life as the SUV sped down the uneven road, the distant echo of the confrontation in the warehouse fading into the night. Ray sat in the backseat, his arms wrapped protectively around Lilly’s unconscious form. Her head rested against his chest, her breathing shallow and uneven.Viktor drove with steady determination, the sharp lines of his jaw clenched as he navigated the bumpy terrain. Lucas sat in the passenger seat, constantly glancing back, his usual quips absent in the face of the gravity of the situation.Ray kept his focus on Lilly, pressing the blood-soaked gauze tightly against her side. The bleeding had slowed, but the crimson stain on her shirt had grown, each second feeling like a countdown he couldn’t stop.“Lucas,” Ray said, his voice low but commanding. “How many to the hospital?”“Fifteen minutes,” Lucas replied, his tone clipped. “Maybe less if Viktor keeps pushing the gas like that.”“Push harder,” Ray growled, his eyes not leaving Lill

    Ray slumped back into the hospital chair, exhaustion weighing heavily on his shoulders. His gaze lingered on Lilly, still pale and fragile against the pristine white sheets, but alive. The doctor’s warnings echoed in his mind—her body was at its limit, and the baby was clinging to life by a thread.He pulled out his phone and scrolled to Damon’s number. As the line connected, Ray’s voice was low but steady, masking the turmoil inside him.“Damon, I need you to handle something for me,” Ray said without preamble.“Morning to you too, Ray,” Damon replied dryly. “What’s wrong?” ‘Does this dude even check the time before calling’ Damon thought, it basically 2 minutes after 1 am.Jerry has already told him about Lilly kidnapped and he was the one who gave them the location of the best hospital around the area with the best medical equipment, and efficient doctors that can attend to Lilly fast and could be trusted.“It’s Lilly,” Ray said, his tone softening. “She’s stable, but… she’s not h

    Ray paced the hospital hallway, his phone pressed tightly to his ear. His voice was low but sharp, the tension in his tone unmistakable.“Did the alpha team call to inform you the kidnappers and do you have any idea who sent them yet?” he asked, his words clipped and precise.Jerry’s reply came quickly. “No. They’re hired mercenaries, but there’s a link to underworld. I’ve already got people looking into it.”Ray’s jaw tightened. “Good. Have those bastards sent to New York. I want to interrogated them personally. I don’t care what it takes.”“I’ll make the arrangements,” Jerry assured him. “But, big bro, focus on SIL and the baby for now. We can handle the rest.”Ray nodded absently, though Jerry couldn’t see it. “Speaking of bastards, I know you Jerry, do not cause too damage on them that will make them lifeless before my arrival”“Seriously big bro, they are basically a new set of toys they hurt my family and you want me to let them be till your arrival, that’s unfair” Jerry whined.

Right away,” she stammered, standing abruptly and smoothing her skirt. “I’ll, um, see what I can find.” As she turned to leave, the door opened, and Ray stepped in, his imposing figure filling the room. Chloe froze mid-step, her eyes widening as though caught in a spotlight. She has never felt this much fear in her life but he couldn’t be blamed, if she hadn’t listened to her boss and followed his order this won’t have happened. “Excuse me,” Ray said evenly, his deep voice calm but commanding. Looking at her annoys him, he can’t believe in entrusted his family life into her hand, she basically incompetent.

    Ray leaned forward, his elbows resting on his knees as his fingers interlocked. His knuckles whitened, betraying his frustration. “Gone?” he echoed sharply, his voice low but tense. “What does that even mean? You can’t just disappear from yourself, Lilly.”Her smile grew wider, a mixture of amusement and defiance. “Can’t I? People change, Cutie. Sometimes dramatically. Sometimes…” she paused, her eyes glinting with something unreadable, “…completely.” “That’s not change,” he snapped, his calm demeanor cracking. “That’s evasion. Deflection. You’re talking in circles, Lilly, and it’s only making me question you more.”“Good,” she quipped, crossing one leg over the other. “You should question things more often. Keeps life interesting.”Ray’s patience was wearing thin, but he forced himself to stay seated. His voice dropped, quieter but no less intense. “This isn’t a game. You can play coy all you want, but I see through you. The way you carry yourself now, the way you look at me—it’s li

    This was never the reaction he was expecting, he thought they would be sad, cry, and all not just sat 'oh' it quite obvious they wanted him dead, he just left them there to attend to another patient. Meanwhile, in another hospital, a woman in her late 40's was on her knees pleading with the doctors to treat her daughter. "Please doctor I beg of you, perform the surgery, I promise to pay the bills once the treatment is done" she pleaded with tears running down her cheeks. "Ma'am you need to pay the bills before we start treatment," said the doctor. "Please, I will pay, please," said the woman. While they were talking a nurse came out of one of the rooms and whispered something to the doctor's ear. Then the doctor turned to the woman and said "Ma'am am sorry to inform you that your daughter is dead". "No no no no, this can't happen, my Lily, my lily is fine, yes she is fine"

    Lilly POV My thoughts were interrupted with the sudden bang on the door, I looked up and saw the doctor walking towards me. "Are you ok, Miss Anderson?" He asked with a shaking voice. Is he scared of me? Why was he scared? Then again, the previous owner of this body was a scary being who does feel pain, but now that I am here, thereof will be some changes. Back to the present. "Am fine?" I told him blankly, I wanted to smile, but it seems this body doesn't express any emotion whatsoever, I don't even feel anything when the nurse injected me. It's weird. How can someone feel nothing, not even pain or anger nor happiness "Where are they?" I asked the doctor eventually "Who?" Why was he acting dumb? Doesn't he know that I was asking about Lillianna annoying family members. "You know who?" I answered him blankly. "Oh, I am so sorry, I may have informed them that you were dead. They went home to organize a press conference to announce your death to the w

    Ray’s heart twisted as he watched her, his mind racing. This wasn’t the Lilly he knew—but whoever this was, whatever had happened to her, he wasn’t going to let her face it alone.He straightened, his jaw tightening as resolve hardened in his eyes.“We’re leaving,” he said firmly, his tone leaving no room for argument.Lilly raised an eyebrow, her smirk deepening. “Oh, mister,” she said with a quiet laugh. “You you’re not in charge. I am. Back to my question who are you? I know you are cute and all which I like I still want to know, are perhaps the master they are talking about”Her words chilled him, but he refused to let it show. Whatever was going on here, whatever darkness had taken root in her, he was going to get her out. He had to.Ray’s jaw clenched at her words, but he forced himself to stay calm. The playful edge to her voice, the almost mocking way she spoke—it was as if she were testing him, waiting to see how he’d react.“I’m your husband. Ray Manchester. And no, I’m not

    Her head tilted slightly as their gazes met, a teasing smirk tugging at her lips.“Hmmm, more people are joining the party. Me, I like,” she said, her voice laced with mockery but tinged with exhaustion. Her tone was unnervingly light, as though she was entirely unfazed by the chaos surrounding her.Ray’s steps faltered for a fraction of a second, his brain struggling to process what he was seeing. Around her, the men—hefty, rough-looking thugs who should have been towering over her in control—were kneeling.

    Ray tightened his grip on his phone as he stepped off the plane, the icy night air hitting his face like a slap. His pulse raced as the first bar of signal returned, and he immediately dialed Jerry’s number, his fingers trembling slightly.The line barely rang once before Jerry answered.“Where is she?” Ray’s voice was sharp, cutting through the static like a knife.“I’ve sent you the coordinates,” Jerry replied, his tone grim. “An old warehouse on the outskirts of the city. She’s still inside.”“I’m on my way.” Ray growled the words before ending the call abruptly.Jerry exhaled slowly, his hands shaking as he stared at the screen. The location pin glowed back at him. This wasn’t just a rescue—it was a race against time. Ray’s fury was palpable, even through the phone.Chloe paced outside the makeshift operations center they’d set up in a nearby safe house.
