‘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

    “Good Morning wifey” Ray greeted while pulling Lilly into his arm, he could feel her unstable emotions but chooses to keep quite knowing there was nothing he could do to keep her mind off the girl from her dream, He already had Drake investigating if she had ever had a child which he knew was impossible, since he was one with her virginity. So where in the world was this little girl thing coming from? Ray loves the fact his baby girl is showing signs of being human rather than a robot.

    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

    The cold wind hit Lilly’s face as she stepped outside, but it did little to cool the fire burning within her. Each step away from the house felt heavier, her thoughts tangled in a web of anger, sorrow, and confusion. She clenched her fists, the sight of Everlyn’s blood flashing in her mind like a haunting replay.Lilly stopped halfway down the street and glanced back at the house. She could still feel the weight of her mother’s frantic desperation, the wild look in her eyes as she clutched the knife. For a moment, guilt tugged at her chest. Had she pushed too hard? Was she wrong to demand answers from someone clearly at the edge of breaking?So many incomprehensible emotions hit Lilly all at once—a torrent of anger, confusion, sadness, and betrayal. But instead of clarity, they swirled and churned until something inside her shut down. It felt as though invisible walls were crumbling around her, and yet, there was no relief—only an all-consuming void.She became numb.It was a sensatio

    Water doesn’t have taste Chloe hesitated for a moment, caught between relief and the usual unease Lilly’s sharp tongue brought out in her. “Y-yes, Boss! 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. Chloe immediately backed away, nearly tripping over her own feet. “S-sorry, Mr. Manchester— I mean, Ray— I mean, sir!” she blurted, her words coming out in a panicked rush.

    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.

    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

    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 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

    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. Their expressions were masks of terror, their bodies trembling like leaves in a storm.This wasn’t the sight he had imagined when he raced here. His Lilly, the soft, vibrant woman he’d sworn to protect, was supposed to be waiting for him, scared but hopeful. She wasn’t supposed to be… this.His jaw clenched as his eyes swept over her, taking in the blood streaking down her arm, the split in her lip, the bruises blooming along her skin. She was hurt—badly hurt—and yet she stood the

    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. General Lucas, Ray’s trusted ally in the Austrian military, had organized everything with surgical precision. Chloe had been tol

    “Aww, poor things,” Lilly murmured, her voice dripping with mockery as she surveyed the pathetic group of men scrambling to attack her.The leader, a wiry man who had mocked her moments ago, charged toward her in desperation, a knife clutched in his trembling hand. Lilly didn’t flinch. Instead, her lips curled into a cold, almost playful smile.Amateurs.She sidestepped his clumsy lunge with fluid grace, her movements swift and precise. Before he could recover, she reached out and grabbed his arm, her grip impossibly strong. With a calculated twist, she applied pressure to his armpit—an arc point known for its excruciating pain if targeted correctly.The man screamed, the knife clattering to the floor as his arm went limp. His knees buckled, but Lilly wasn’t done. With a sharp upward motion, she forced his arm backward, dislocating his shoulder with a sickening pop. He collapsed, unconscious, crumpling like a broken doll at her feet.Lilly tilted her head, a flicker of satisfaction cr
