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.”

    ‘Mummy, why? Why did you forget about me? Why didn’t you and Daddy come back?’ A little girl, around five years old, cried out with tears streaming down her face, her eyes filled with a haunting loneliness. She looked like she had been abandoned by the entire world, her tiny shoulders trembling as she waited for an answer that would never come.Lilly watched her, and an unfamiliar ache rose within her chest, a feeling she couldn’t quite name. How could a mother ever abandon her child? She took a step closer, her voice soft but full of promise. ‘Little girl, who is your mummy? I’ll help you find her,’ she offered, unable to bear the sorrow in the girl’s innocent eyes. Lilly knew, in that moment, she would do anything to see her smile.‘I’ve been a good girl, Mummy. How could you have forgotten your little princess? Am I really that bad—that Mummy doesn’t even recognize me anymore?’ The girl’s voice trembled as she spoke, her words cutting through the silence like a blade. She clutched

    She was visibly against the idea of him accompanying her on the trip. Her face was a mix of emotions, making it hard to pinpoint exactly how she felt.‘How can she change so much in just a month?’ he asked himself puzzled. "Marriage is about teamwork, wifey. We're supposed to face things together."He couldn't help but plead, "Can't I just send a team of bodyguards to ensure your safety?"Lilly can’t rap her head around why he was sudden protective. "I know I'm pregnant, and I would never put our child in harm's way," she said, holding his face and looking into his eyes."Hubby, I know you're worried about me, but I need you to trust that I can take care of myself and our child. I want to go on this trip alone, but I'm willing to compromise and take my assistant with me to make you feel better. However, I don't want a team of bodyguards following me. Let's just keep this trip private and tell people I'm taking a sick leave instead."Ray stared at her, his jaw tightening as he tried to

    “Are you okay, man?” Felix asked, glancing at the lonely figure staring into empty space, emotionless, dragging a cigarette between his lips. The aura around him made it obvious— even to a blind man— that he was both angry and deeply sad. Felix had never seen him like this before. He knew Ray always wore a cold, stoic face, but the atmosphere surrounding him now was rare. Looking at him slouched on the cushion like that, one couldn’t help but pity him. He looked so lonely. When it seemed no answer was forthcoming, Felix turned toward Derek. “Do you know what happened to him?” Derek just shook his head and threw his hands in the air, as if to say, I don’t know, man. Maybe there’s trouble in paradise. Ray suddenly turned his head and looked at Felix, who was seated at the other end of the private room. He exhaled a ring of smoke from his mouth, his voice low but clear. “What is love?” Everyone in the room froze, turning to him in surprise. No one had expected such a question from

    Ray leaned forward, elbows on his knees, and dragged his hands through his hair. “I don’t know,” he admitted. “It’s not just about the empire or the pregnancy. It’s about us. About her trusting me with the parts of herself she keeps locked away. And when she shuts me out like this—when she makes decisions without me—it feels like she’s telling me I’m not enough.”Derek shook his head, leaning forward to meet Ray’s gaze. “You’re reading it wrong, man. Liliana’s not saying you’re not enough—she’s saying she doesn’t know how to let you be. She’s spent her whole life building walls to protect herself, and now, she doesn’t know how to take them down. It’s not about you; it’s about her.”Felix nodded in agreement, his voice softer. “And the fact that she’s willing to try—that she’s even letting herself feel, even if it’s messy—that’s because of you, Ray. She’s not running from you. She’s running from whatever she thinks she has to face before she can fully be with you.”Ray was silent for a

    After the plane landed the other night, Lily was already too exhausted to go anywhere. So, she soaked herself in a warm bath, but she couldn't help but miss her husband. If he were with her, he would have taken care of the little things, like bathing her and drying her hair afterward. He had made it a habit to pamper her daily, choosing her outfits and making sure she felt loved. Lily had grown accustomed to his thoughtful gestures, and his absence felt deeply. She left the bath when she realized she was becoming drowsy and she doesn’t want to sleep off in the bath in other to prevent drowning with her baby, that was the last thing she wanted.Lilly woke up to the faint light of dawn filtering through the heavy curtains. For a moment, she lay still, her thoughts swirling as the remnants of last night’s exhaustion clung to her. She didn’t have much time to linger; there was something pressing she needed to do. Thankfully no nightmares whatsoever ever, perhaps after seeing her mother s

    "Your mother was my twin sister," she began, but Lily knew immediately that she was lying. The lines between her brow furrowed, a telltale sign that Lily knew all too well. Her mother's fingers twisted together nervously, another habit that betrayed her deception.Lily's mind raced as she considered the implications. If her mother was lying about being twins, then what was the truth? A fleeting thought crossed her mind: what if her mother was actually talking about herself? Lily quickly dismissed the idea as absurd.Evenly and her mother can’t been the same person, no way that was possible.Lilly’s mind swirled with confusion, suspicion rising with every passing second. She studied the older woman carefully, her every movement and word. Why lie about something like this? The lie wasn’t even well-crafted—it felt rushed, almost desperate.“My mother was your twin sister?” Lilly repeated, her voice laced with doubt. She leaned forward, her eyes narrowing as she pressed on. “You seem to k

    Evelyn felt the world tilt beneath her feet. Her breath came in short, sharp gasps as her mind raced, struggling to process the words that had just left Lilly’s mouth.What does she mean by ‘I raised her’? Evelyn’s fingers trembled as she clutched at her dress, her heartbeat thundering in her ears. My Lilly died. I buried her. The memory flashed in her mind like a cruel ghost—the small, lifeless body, the burial, the grief that had consumed her. I buried her. My baby is dead.Her throat closed up, panic clawing at her chest. What the fuck is going on?Her eyes locked onto Lilly, searching for a lie, for some twisted explanation. She said she’s Lilly… not Liliana. How is that even possible? Evelyn’s mind spiraled further. Is she trying to claim her twin’s identity? Is this one of the side effects of what David DeLuka did to her?The room felt like it was closing in on her.“No…” she whispered, shaking her head, her hands curling into fists. “No, this isn’t possible.”But Lilly’s gaze d

    Liliana’s voice wavered, but her anger burned steady. “What about the girl who grew up feeling unwanted?” she demanded, her hands trembling at her sides. “Do you have any idea what it’s like to be your daughter? To live a life where love was a distant dream?” Her breath hitched, her throat tightening. “Liliana’s life was miserable. Mine was too, growing up with you.”Evelyn flinched, her lips parting in a silent protest, but Liliana didn’t give her the chance to speak.“You said you were trying to protect me,” she continued, her voice thick with emotion, “but your protection felt more like a cage, Mother. Every single day, I felt trapped, suffocated by the life you built around me. I was always seeking, always pleading for freedom, even when I knew it was impossible.”Evelyn’s eyes shimmered with unshed tears, her expression contorted with guilt and confusion. “I—I only wanted to keep you safe…” she whispered.Liliana let out a bitter laugh, shaking her head. “Safe?” she spat. “You ca

    Liliana’s breath caught, and she took an involuntary step back. “So you didn’t see her—my twin—after that? You didn’t even try to stop him?”Evelyn shook her head frantically, tears spilling down her face. Her shoulders trembled as she clutched her arms, her entire body wracked with guilt. Perhaps she was too caught up in her emotions to notice that Lilly was referring to someone else, her words laced with an underlying recognition that she herself hadn’t fully grasped yet.“I tried, Liliana,” Evelyn choked out. “I begged him to tell me where she was. But he wouldn’t answer. He just kept saying it was necessary, that I wouldn’t understand. And then he disappeared.” She sucked in a shaky breath, her voice barely above a whisper. “He left me alone. With no way to find him. No way to find her.”The air in the room felt suffocating. Lilly’s nails dug into her palms, her hands clenched into tight fists at her sides. She was shaking, fury and betrayal crashing over her in violent waves.“Yo

    Lily felt like her Liliana entire existence was a sham. She had been living a lie, dead believing in a lie and the truth was only now beginning to unravel. The man who had tormented her, whom she thought was her father, was actually not her biological parent. It was a shocking revelation, and she couldn't wrap her head around it. How could this be? How could her whole life be a fabrication?As she grappled with these questions, Lily's emotions were in turmoil. She felt like she was vibrating with anger and frustration, and she couldn't seem to calm down. Her existence, her identity, everything she thought she knew about herself was a lie.And to make matters more complicated, she had just discovered that she had a twin sister, who was somehow seven years older than her. It didn't make sense - how could two people be twins, yet be born at different times? It was a mind-bending concept, and Lily was desperate for answers.She hoped that the explanation she was about to receive would be

    Evelyn’s voice broke as she began, her trembling hands gripping the edges of the chair she sat on. She couldn’t meet Liliana’s eyes. Her gaze seemed fixed somewhere in the distance, as if reliving the memories she was about to unveil.“When I found out I was pregnant, I was overjoyed,” she began, her tone soft and uneven, every word weighted with emotion. “It felt like my whole world had fallen into place. I was carrying a piece of the love I shared with your father—your father, Liliana. He was my anchor, my safe haven.”Her lips quivered as a small, bittersweet smile appeared, only to disappear almost immediately. “I still remember the tears on his face when I told him. He held me so tightly, like he was trying to hold on to the moment forever. We had so many dreams, plans to build a home, a family. We talked about the little things—what color the nursery would be, what names we’d pick. Life felt… perfect.”Her voice cracked, and she brought a trembling hand to her face, swiping away

    Evelyn walked slower when she saw her daughter’s figure from a distance, her voice carrying over, deeper with hurt. “You said you wanted to talk, right?” Liliana’s voice wavered, the tremble betraying the anger she tried to keep steady. She turned slightly, her hands clenched at her sides. “What do you want to talk about? Or are you here just to make sure I’m unhappy?” She laughed bitterly, her gaze falling to the ground for a moment before meeting Evelyn’s. “You know, Mother, if you really care as much as you claim, if you’re really here to make amends like you say, you wouldn’t have done what you did.” Evelyn stayed silent, her chest tightening as she watched Liliana brush at her cheeks roughly, trying to hold herself together. “Even if Ray had done something wrong,” Liliana continued, her voice sharp but trembling, “as a mother, you could have at least tried to hide it. Tried to make it seem like nothing was wrong. Do you know what I did, Mother?” She laughed again, this time s

    Ray’s protective instincts flared, his jaw tightening as he turned to Evelyn. “You what?” he demanded, his voice low and dangerous. Evelyn raised a hand, her expression placating. “Relax, Ray. That’s all in the past now. I came here to make amends, not to dredge up old wounds.” Liliana scoffed, folding her arms across her chest. “Amends? Is that what you’re calling this little stunt?” Evelyn smiled serenely, ignoring her daughter’s hostility. “Yes, darling. I’m here to make things right. You’ll see.” She turned her gaze back to Ray. “And as for you, young man, you seem like a good match for my daughter. I’m pleased she found someone who can handle her fire. But why are you cheating on her though.” Ray didn’t respond, his mind racing with questions and suspicions. He could feel Liliana trembling beside him, her emotions barely contained. He placed a reassuring hand on her back, silently promising her that he wouldn’t let this woman cause her any more pain. And that he didn’t cheat

    Finally, she swung the door open. There she was. Evelyn Altee stood on the doorstep, her radiant smile as poised as ever, her eyes sparkling with an unsettling calm. She looked utterly at ease, as though she had every right to be there, as though she hadn’t faked her own death or threatened Lilly just weeks ago. “Hello, darling,” Evelyn said sweetly, her voice as smooth as silk. Lilly stared at her, unable to form words. Her mother looked almost exactly as she remembered from the few weeks back, only that this time she looked better and emotional state seems balanced and the guilt and fear from weeks ago was gone. Evelyn’s smile widened, and she tilted her head slightly. “Aren’t you going to invite me in?” Lilly’s lips parted, but no sound came out. A wave of emotions crashed over her—shock, anger, confusion, and an overwhelming sense of betrayal. “Why…?” she finally managed to choke out, her voice trembling with disbelief. “Why are you here? After everything? You—” She broke o

    As they walked toward the dining room, Mitchell slowed her pace just enough to fall in step beside Ray, her expression calm but her eyes sharp. When she was sure Liliana wasn’t looking, she tilted her head slightly toward him and mouthed, “Have you told her? Or has she seen the news?”The weight of her question hit Ray like a ton of bricks. His smile faltered briefly before he quickly composed himself, shaking his head subtly in response. No.Mitchell’s lips pressed into a thin line, her eyes narrowing for a moment before she returned her attention to Liliana, who was inspecting a vase of fresh flowers near the dining room entrance.Ray inhaled deeply, forcing a smile back onto his face as he guided Liliana to her chair at the head of the table. “Here you go, baby girl. Sit tight, and I’ll get you settled.”But the moment he stepped back, Liliana’s gaze pinned him. Her eyes were sharp now, missing nothing. “What are you two hiding from me?” she asked, her voice cool and measured, devo
