Chapter 80Lilly nodded, though uncertainty flickered in her eyes. She wasn’t sure why, but she trusted Ray’s judgment, even if the nuances of social interactions often eluded her. “If you say so,” she replied, her voice devoid of the warmth Ray might have hoped for. Despite that, she allowed herself to relax in his embrace, feeling the tension slowly ebb away, though she couldn't quite identify what was different about this moment.Ray guided her into the room, closing the door behind them. The click of the latch sounded final, almost ominous in the quiet, and it stirred something faint within Lilly—perhaps a sense of anticipation, though she struggled to name the emotion.As they stood alone in the stillness, Ray took both of Lilly's hands in his. He drew her closer, his gaze intense but soft. There was something in his eyes—something Lilly often struggled to interpret but was learning to recognize as affection. “I’m serious about what I said earlier,” Ray began, his voice calm yet
As Lilly and Ray stepped out of the room, they were immediately greeted by the playful banter of Ray’s friends were lounging on the couches in the living room, grinning like a pack of mischievous wolves and Chloe sitting quietly at a corner on her phone. Jerry was the first to speak, unable to resist the opportunity to tease his brother. “Wow, that was quick! Didn’t think big brother was such a lightweight,” he quipped, feigning shock with a dramatic gasp.Felix snickered, nudging Damon. “Looks like Ray’s losing his touch. What happened to the guy who could go all night?”Ray rolled his eyes, though a smirk tugged at his lips. “Maybe I’m just efficient,” he shot back, pulling Lilly a little closer. She stood beside him, her expression as composed as ever, but the subtle way she leaned into Ray didn’t go unnoticed by the group.Damon chuckled, his eyes twinkling with mischief. “Or maybe it’s Lilly who’s calling the shots now. You seem pretty whipped, Ray.”Lilly raised an eyebrow, gla
Lilly's eyes scanned the room, waiting for someone to recognize the faces in the photograph she had uncovered. The woman looked so much like the younger version of her birth mother from her past life that it shook her to her core, but she kept her composure. Ray remained close to her, sensing the gravity of what she had found.Felix was the first to speak. His brows furrowed, and he leaned in closer to get a better look at the image. “Wait a minute... I know her,” he said slowly, as if trying to recall a distant memory. “That’s aunty Ava, one of my mother’s old friends. They were close before she vanished from the public eye. I haven’t seen her in years.”Wait? Her birth mother is named Ava, how come Felix knows her name and called her in such an intimate manner. Something is off.Chloe, who had been silent up until now, glanced at the photo and her eyes widened in disbelief. “That’s Evelyn Altee?” she echoed, shock lacing her voice. “But she’s... bosses, she’s your mother. Miss Ander
Ray’s grin lingered as he gently pulled Lilly closer, his hands resting lightly on her hips. The weight of the evening's revelations hadn’t shaken him, and he seemed determined to keep their connection at the forefront, even amid all the chaos.“So,” he asked“think we can finally have our wedding night now?”Lilly blinked at him, not surprised or flustered, just calm and mildly curious. Her expression was neutral, as though she were considering something ordinary. "Ray... are you serious?" she asked, her tone even, lacking any real confusion or irritation.Ray’s grin broadened, amused by her lack of reaction. “What? We’re married, aren’t we? I thought we deserved one moment of normalcy after everything and you promised me earlier besides it not like you are tired”Lilly tilted her head slightly, the faintest hint of a smile tugging at her lips. "Normal is relative," she remarked, leaning her forehead gently against his chest. "But if this is your idea of normal… I suppose."He chuckl
Chapter 84: He grabbed her head and kissed her passionately like a thirsty man gulping water after days of being parched. She moaned. He reached for her hands and use it to start rubbing himself before she took over and started imitating his movements. "Don't stop, " he growled. "Tighter, baby. Yes. Like that. Her eyes widened and she looked at him in surprise. "It got harder. How hard can you get?" The fact that he kept getting bigger was very surprising for her. He was breathing heavily. "I don't know, baby girl. We'll find out together.” "Oh.” Maybe this could be a potential experiment subject, measuring how hard he could get depending on which actions she performed and the time it took for him to get harder. ... hmm... she would have to think more about this. "Faster, baby." "Okay." Finally, he stiffened and then groaned loudly, spraying all over the two of them and on the bedsheets. "Oh! " She froze and stared at his mess, not knowing what to do. He pulled her to hi
The first rays of morning light filtered through the bedroom curtains, casting a soft glow over the room. Lilly stirred beneath the covers, her mind slowly coming out of its restful state. For once, she felt a faint sense of exhaustion lingering, something she wasn’t used to. She wasn’t accustomed to waking up tired—her usual mornings were marked by clarity and readiness for whatever tasks lay ahead. But today, her body felt different.She opened her eyes, squinting slightly at the brightness, and realized Ray was still fast asleep next to her. His arm was draped over her waist, his breathing steady and calm. He looked peaceful, his features relaxed in a way that only came when he was deeply at ease.No one would have believed the ball of cuteness beside her made her scream so loud the previous night. Last night intimacy was something else, it was basically mind blowing. She had never cum that had since they got together and the fact that she felt drained afterwards was unexpected, it
The boardroom was buzzing with quiet anticipation. Press conferences like this one were always meticulously organized, with reporters and photographers lining up their equipment, ready to capture the moment that would make the headlines. The Anderson Empire’s recent turmoil had the media’s full attention, and now, everyone was waiting for the bombshell Lilly had alluded to.Lilly stood in front of the mirror in the dressing room adjacent to the boardroom, pulling her blazer tight. She observed her reflection, her expression composed. Every detail was precise—the fit of her suit, the neatness of her hair, and the cold calm she exuded. She had always been calculated, every step planned, but today, there was more at stake.It time she face Liliana demons and over with it already, the world will be certain that she is alive after today and there won’t be anymore doubts on their minds, the Anderson family will be shaken to the core with this move of hers.Ray appeared behind her, adjusting
Ray’s entrance seemed to silence the room as if his presence alone commanded a certain reverence. The air crackled with the weight of the moment, every eye locked onto the couple standing before them. Together, they were an undeniable force, and the reporters knew it.Lilly stood with her head held high, her composure never wavering, while Ray exuded quiet strength beside her. It was clear now—this wasn’t just a press conference about Anderson Empire’s financial future. This was a changing of the guard, a public declaration of a new era, and the media could feel it.Ray approached the podium with ease, the room once again stilling. His voice was deep, measured, and commanding. “As my wife mentioned, Anderson Empire is now under my leadership. This isn’t just a transition—it’s a transformation. We’ve spent the last several months restructuring and preparing for the future. You’ll see that reflected in our upcoming projects and initiatives.” Calling ‘my wife’ in front of so many people
