Chapter 93“Gosh! My phone has been ringing nonstop, it’s quite frustrating,” Lilly said with her voice sounds like she just yelled, tossing her phone onto the couch in a rare outburst.Ray glanced up from his stack of documents, surprised by her sudden display of anger. He had never seen her showing any emotions, except for the moments when they were intimate. Normally, Lilly was composed, almost detached, but seeing her express real frustration made her seem more human—more relatable. He found it cute and sexy. This was the woman carrying his child, and that realization stirred something deep in him. Their baby was already having an effect on her, and he loved watching her change, becoming more raw and vulnerable."It's Anderson, isn't it?" Ray asked, though he already knew the answer. He set his papers aside and moved closer to her. Lilly sighed heavily, rubbing her temples. “Yes, the press. And board members. Andresin. Everyone’s got something to say, and it’s exhausting.”It had
"Her heart is not beating any more doctor," a lady in a short white dress said anxiously "check her pulse" the doctor yelled Even after checking her pulse, he realized that there was no sign of movement from the girl lying on the bed. He had no idea what to do right now because the girl lying on the bed is not just anyone but the great 'Liliana Anderson' the 'ice Queen' as she was popularly known by. A woman that's always see expressionless, never see smiling and all now been killed by food poisoning was another thing, who had the gut to do such a thing like this.Her family is just standing outside, what will tell them and how? This was the first time in history he does know how to announce the death of a patient, to the patient's family. When he stepped out of the room her family immediately got up and walked up to the doctor as well "What happened to my sister? A girl that looks the same age as Lilianna asked anxiously "How is my daughter " both her parent asked. "Well am mm
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
Lily POV I kept staring at my reflection on the mirror inside the hospital bathroom, I was amazed by my new look, although I was beautiful before the reborn, but not this much the girl in the mirror was flawless and perfect. According to what the doctor told me, I know by now that the Anderson's must have declared me dead, The Anderson family is filled with actors and pretenders. How were they even able to fool Lilianna for such a long time. Well, a girl with no emotion may not understand it as well. Lilianna's father was just as cruel as mine they body has no empathy for mankind, I can't imagine what she went through as a child, according to the memories obtained from the previous owner of this body. Lilianna's mother, Evelyn, married James (Mr. Anderson) when he had nothing. Anderson Empire was previously known as Altee group of company. Evelyn was the only child of her parent which makes her the heiress to her father's empire, she took over when she graduated colle
Time they say heals all woundes Time cures Time changes, But Liliana and I are both stuck in time, I tried to be normal for the sake of my mother, where as Lilianna feels nothing she was just a empty human whom have been deprived the right to live a normal life. She was stuck in time right from birth, and I was stuck in time pleasing my mother without considering my own emotions. This body may feel nothing but my soul feels all the emotion buckled up for years in me and now that this body belongs to me and i want a second chance to live a normal life i need this body to feel. I will find a way to make this body feel my own very emotion and try to be happy this time around. Evelyn family try to take Lilianna away so she could grow up in a favorable and good environment so it would increase her mental health and perhaps help create some emotions in her, but Evelyn last wish was to not deprive her husband the memories of her, not knowing the man she was defending on her dea
Chole Pov I still can't believe the call i received right now was from my boss. It is quite unbelievable. When i read about her death on social media, i was broken from within, although my boss is special in her own way and amazing. She still the only person we believe in my capability. She may not know how to express and feel, but she is a kind soul, I remember when I first met her, I was just a nerd with no confident nor-income but she changed my life. During the interview, she asked me if I was willing to change for the better cause she doesn't need an assistant with low self-esteem. She taught me how to be brave, She taught me how to be expressive, She taught me how to believe in myself, even though she kept telling me that whatever I have become now is by my own doing but I knew deep down I'm nothing without her, know that she was alive and kicking is enough for me. I got up and grab my car keys and go straight to the hospital, when I got to the hospital I asked wh
"When is the board meeting for the ceo replacement take place?" i asked, This is all new to me, so as the fight for power. I know you must be wondering how I managed to have the same expression as Lilianna and so confident as her and all, but this is me , this has always been who I was. I have never smiled at any other human before than my mother, and right now, I need to learn how to smile at people. " well ma'am due to the falling shares since yesterday because of your fake death. Many investors are pulling in out, and the meeting will be held tomorrow." "Good, buy some shares since the price are dropping, it will be useful later on, and i don't mind if you blackmail or threaten them." "I know, boss, your order shall be carried out properly." "Good. Also, I want you to make sure all the stakeholders are against my dad I feel weird calling such a dispeakable, my father, i hate all fathers, but this body doesn't. "yes boss" " If you do your job properly, your salary ma

Chloe stepped into her car, starting the engine as she mentally prepared for the drive to Jerry’s house. She had to deliver some documents and assist with investigating Felix’s Aunt Ava, as ordered by her boss. The past three months had been filled with surprises, but the biggest one was the transformation in her boss. A woman who once didn’t care about any man now seemed entirely enmeshed with a Manchester, practically handing her empire over to him on a silver platter. *What if he betrays her?* Chloe thought, her fingers tightening on the steering wheel. *Men can’t be trusted with power, especially not when they already have plenty of their own.* Still, she had to trust her boss’s judgment. She had never made a wrong business decision before, and Chloe could only hope this wouldn’t be the first. As she checked her G****e Maps, making sure she was heading in the right direction, the thought of seeing Jerry made her grimace. He made her skin crawl with the way he stared at her—like h
In the grand Manchester estate, sunlight streamed through the tall windows, casting a warm glow on the lavishly decorated sitting room. Mitchell, was seated on a cushion, her eyes glued to the television screen. The news of her son’s marriage to Liliana Anderson had just broken, and Mitchell’s lips curled into a wide, triumphant smile.“I knew it,” she said, turning to her husband,, who was sitting nearby with a newspaper in hand. His gaze shifted from the paper to the screen, where Liliana was coolly conducting an interview. She was elegant, poised, and utterly unapologetic about her recent takeover of Anderson Empire. Mitchell’s heart swelled with pride.“You see that, hubby?” Mitchell’s voice rose with excitement, the usually composed woman unable to contain herself. “That’s *our* son’s wife. She’s a force of nature! Look at her—fearless. She’s not like those other women, all demure and helpless. Liliana knows exactly what she wants, and she’s not afraid to take it. The Andersons d
Matilda paced the room, her heels clicking against the marble floor as she frantically dialed Ellen’s number. Her hands were trembling. The sight of Liliana’s betrayal on the television had ignited a storm of rage, but it was Helena who now posed the greatest risk. If Helena saw any of this—if she even *suspected* what had happened—it could unravel everything.The changes in Liliana came as a big shock to her, and her sudden interest in investigating her poisoning was unexpected. What changed? What happened to the old Liliana that does even give a fuck what happens around her. Ellen picked up on the third ring. Her voice, as cool and calculated as always, soothed Matilda’s nerves for a brief moment. "Mrs Anderson, what is it?" she asked right away, she may love Helena but she does give a flying fuck about anyone of her family.“Ellen, I need your help.” Matilda didn’t waste time with pleasantries. “You need to keep Helena away from the news—away from anything to do with Liliana and R
James Anderson stood frozen, the phone pressed to his ear, the board member’s frantic words still echoing in his mind. The Anderson Empire—his empire—no longer belonged to him. The family legacy he had killed for even though Liliana was in charge he still felt in control now belongs to Ray Manchester, how the hell did this happen.“Turn on the news?” James repeated, his voice cold. He could feel the slow burn of rage building inside him. He didn’t need to be told what was happening. He had a feeling that Liliana had just made a public statement that would send shockwaves through the business world.He hung up the phone without another word and strode over to the television. His hands shook as he grabbed the remote and flicked it on. The screen lit up, showing the aftermath of a press conference. Reporters were still in a frenzy, flashing lights illuminating the sleek boardroom where Liliana and Ray Manchester had stood just moments ago. “...in a surprising turn of events, Liliana And
The press conference had barely ended, and the internet was already ablaze. Social media platforms flooded with reactions, memes, and conspiracy theories. News outlets scrambled to publish breaking headlines, and Anderson Empire was trending globally. The public, as always, was quick to react—and even quicker to judge.On Twitter, a trending hashtag had already emerged: **#icequeenLives**. Alongside it, another hashtag was gaining traction: **#AndersonEmpireReborn**. People couldn’t stop talking about Lilly’s dramatic return, her marriage to Ray Manchester, and, of course, the kiss that had set the internet on fire.“**Did anyone else just see that? Liliana Anderson—sorry, Manchester now—literally dropped the mic with that kiss! ICONIC. #icequeenLives**” “**So... poisonings, secret marriages, and now Ray Manchester in charge of Anderson Empire? This is better than any TV drama. #AndersonEmpireReborn**” “**Is it just me, or does anyone else think Ray and Liliana planned this whole
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
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
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
