Her eyes got nervous around, her veins were nervous. The sheets under it felt impossiblely feeling soft, some rich and the masculine smell sticks to the wind , sandalwood and expensive colon. Her breath became shallow. This was not her room. The huge windows flooded the place with morning lights, revealing an breathtaking horizon she had only seen in magazines. Crystal chandelier sprinkled the overhead, and smooth black furniture shines in a soft glow. The room launched luxury calm, distant luxury. Her stomach tightened. no heat. No familiarity. Nervousness hit her like a wave of tide. How did I get here? she threw the cover aside, her barefoot hit the cold marble floor. A sharp pain beat in her head. she pressed her fingers trembling her temples, preparing to clean the fog in her mind. Think, lily. Think. The glow of the last night was in her memory.

I'm fine." the glittering Gala Hall, indulged in money full of strangers and cloacked in wealth. the weight of stares when she stepped inside underdressed and out of plt And then... Liam Montgomery.

While shaking hands, she snatched it up. BILLIONAIRE’S SECRET LOVER?

Measured. untoward. confident. she slowly turned, her heart in her throat.. And there he was. Liam Montgomery. He stood tall in the door, wearing a crisp white shirt, which was rolled on the sleeve, revealed strong cells. The dark trousers completely stuck to her lean frame. His face ..very beautiful, very cool and was unmatched. His silver gray eyes were fixed with an intensity on her WHICH took her to the spot. Lily swallowed hard. His presence filled the room. Calm. Controlled. Dangerous. "You are awake." The deep timbre of his voice sent a shiver down her spine. "I—" Her voice broke. She gripped the newspaper. "What... what is this? Why am I here?" He didn’t answer right away. He stepped forward, slow and deliberate, his gaze dropping to the crumpled paper in her hands. "You tell me," Liam said, his voice ice-cold. "Because, according to this, you’re my fiancée." The word hit her like a slap. "No!" she gasped, backing away. "That’s not true—I don’t—I didn’t—" "Didn’t what?" he interrupted, stepping closer. His eyes narrowed, glinting with something sharp. "Didn’t plan this? ?"I did not get out of my penthouse and caught by every tabloid in the city Tears burned behind Lily’s eyes. "I don’t remember anything after the gala! I would never—" "Save the act." His voice dropped lower, colder. "My company’s stock is dropping , sponsors are threatening to walk, and all because of you." His words cut deep. Lily shook her head, breathless. "I swear, I didn’t do anything! You have to believe me—" "I don’t have to believe anything." He was close now, too close. Lily could see the faint scar along his jawline, the tension in his throat. His expression softened just for a heartbeat then hardened again. "You dragged my name into this mess," he said, his voice dangerously soft. "And now you’re going to fix it." Her lips parted, confusion flickering in her tear filled eyes. "Fix it? How?" Liam reached into his pocket and pulled out a sleek envelope. He held it out to her, his gaze sharp and unrelenting. "Marry me." Lily stared at him, the words echoing in her head like a cruel joke. Marry him? Her legs weakened beneath her. She gripped the edge of the window for balance, the city skyline blurring behind her. "You’re joking," she whispered. His face remained expressionless. "Does it look like I’m joking?" Her fingers trembled. "Why? Why would you—" "It’s simple. You marry me, and we clean this mess up. The media moves on, and my company stabilizes. Six months. A contract marriage. Nothing more, nothing less." "A contract marriage?" Her voice cracked. "I can’t—I won’t—" "You don’t have a choice." His cold tone shattered the last of her hope. "If you refuse, everything you care about gets dragged through the dirt. Your mother. Your sister. Their lives ruined. All because you couldn’t play along." Her heart stopped. He knew. He knew about Emily. "I’m not the villain here," Liam continued, stepping even closer. His voice was low, almost gentle, but each word struck with lethal precision. "But I can be if you force me to." Lily’s chest tightened. Her world spun. Her family. Emily. Their fragile lives hung by a thread. And Liam Montgomery held the scissors. Her gaze dropped to the envelope in his hand. "Decide quickly," he said, his silver eyes gleaming with cold finality. "My patience isn’t endless." Lily’s fingers hovered above the envelope, trembling. The room seemed to shrink around her, the walls closing in. Her choices were gone. Trapped. Her heart pounded in her chest as she realized the nightmare wasn’t over. It had just begun.Bab terbaru
THE BILLONIARE UNWANTED SUBSTITUTE BRIDE WHISPERS OF THE PAST
The morning sun filtered through the tall windows of the Carlyle estate, casting long golden beams across the marble floor. The warmth of the day contrasted sharply with the coldness Lily felt inside. Though she’d asked for time and space, the emptiness it brought felt like a burden she wasn’t prepared for.For days, Liam respected her boundaries. He kept to his study, engaged with work or perhaps simply brooding in solitude. Meals were often quiet. If they crossed paths, they did so silently, a nod or a fleeting glance the only acknowledgment of each other’s presence. Lily wasn’t sure if it was what she truly wanted, but she feared that if they spoke, the rawness of her heart would take control.But life continued outside their strained cocoon.Lily found herself drawn to the garden, the only place where her thoughts could roam free. The blooming orchids and gentle rustle of the trees provided her with a strange sort of peace. She would sit for hours, sketching idly or journaling her

Every corner seemed to hold an unspoken truth, every glance between them a question left unanswered.Lily spent her days walking the halls aimlessly, her mind a maze of conflicting emotions. She hadn’t expected forgiveness to come so easily, nor had she expected the weight of it to feel so suffocating. Each time she tried to think of a way forward, the shadow of Liam’s secrets loomed larger, clouding any hope she had left for their future.She had known from the start that love wasn’t simple, that the path they had chosen would be fraught with challenges.

But what she did know—what she had to know—was that Liam’s betrayal, his silence, was the root of the fracture between them.Her chest tightened as she sat down on the edge of the bed, her hands gripping the soft fabric of the sheets.

Lily stood by the window, her fingers gently tracing the edge of the cool glass. The room around her was dimly lit, the shadows of night stretching long across the floor. She had been in the villa for what felt like an eternity, but every moment felt like a lifetime. The weight of everything that had happened pressed down on her shoulders, suffocating her with its heaviness.Liam’s words from earlier still echoed in her mind, his voice cold and commanding, as if they were simply waiting for the storm to pass. But the storm was already here, and it was only growing stronger.She hadn’t been able to sleep since their arrival, her thoughts constantly spiraling out of control. Who could she trust now? Everyone around her seemed to have ulterior motives, and the people who were supposed to protect her were the ones she had to watch out for the most.

The tension in the air was palpable as Lily stood in front of the expansive windows of their penthouse, the lights of the city flickering beneath the night sky like a sea of stars. She couldn't help but feel the weight of what had transpired in the past few days Liam's involvement with the new case, the unsettling messages they had been receiving, and the ever-growing realization that Marcus wasn’t done with them yet. Despite her attempts to stay calm, a knot of worry tightened in her stomach.Liam’s voice broke through her thoughts. "Lily, we need to talk."She turned around slowly to face him.

Liam stood in front of the window in his office, watching the city below, but his thoughts were far from the busy streets and towering skyscrapers. His mind was with Lily, and the way she had brought a warmth into his life that he hadn’t known was missing. For so long, he had buried himself in the relentless pursuit of success, buried under layers of ambition and pain. But Lily had cut through all of that, breaking down the walls he had built around himself. She had been the calm he needed, the reason for him to start believing in something other than power and wealth.He turned away from the window, his gaze settling on the picture of them together that sat on his desk. It was from the weekend they had spent in the mountains. Her laughter echoed in his mind as he remembered how carefree they had been, as if the world had paused and given them a chance to breathe.
