Lily sat on the edge of her bed, staring at the door Liam had walked away from. The air in the room still felt thick, charged with the weight of their last conversation. Her pulse hadn’t fully settled, and her mind refused to quiet.

Every time she thought she had Liam figured out, he did something that made her question everything. He wasn’t just ruthless he was unreadable, unpredictable.

With a frustrated sigh, she ran her fingers through her hair, trying to steady herself. She needed to stop thinking about him. He was a complication she couldn't afford.

Her stomach twisted, reminding her that she hadn’t eaten since breakfast.

She stood abruptly, grabbed a cardigan from the chair, and wrapped it around her shoulders. Maybe a quick bite would help her focus.

The hallway was dimly lit, the quiet stretching around her as she padded toward the dining room. The house felt too big, too empty despite its grandeur. It wasn’t like the home she had grown up in, small but warm. This place was a

    Lily's fingers trembled as she gripped the doorknob. Her heartbeat pounded in her ears, drowning out the silence of the dimly lit hallway. She had spent the last few days trapped in a whirlwind of deception, forced smiles, and Liam's cold indifference. But tonight, something felt different.A storm was brewing.The air between them had changed. There was something in Liam’s gaze something raw, almost desperate, buried beneath the icy walls he had built around himself. And for the first time, Lily wasn’t sure if she feared it… or if she wanted to break it.Taking a deep breath, she pushed the door open.Liam stood by the fireplace, one hand gripping a glass of whiskey, the other buried in his pocket. The flickering flames cast sharp shadows across his face, highlighting the tension in his clenched jaw. His broad shoulders were rigid, and though he wasn’t looking at her, she knew he sensed her presence."You’re late," he said, his voice low, controlled.Lily swallowed hard. "I wasn’t aw

    Lily’s heart pounded violently as she stared at the document in her trembling hands. The inked words blurred before her eyes, but the meaning behind them burned like fire in her veins.Divorce Agreement.Her fingers tightened around the papers, the sharp edges digging into her skin. It felt surreal like a cruel dream she couldn’t wake from. Her breathing grew ragged as she lifted her gaze to meet Liam’s unreadable expression.He stood across the room, his suit crisp, his posture as rigid as steel. Those silver gray eyes, once filled with a cold kind of fascination, were now empty. Detached."Liam…" Her voice cracked. "What… what is this?"His jaw clenched, but he didn’t waver. "Exactly what it looks like."A wave of nausea rolled through her. She had braced herself for many things for his anger, for his indifference but this? This was a blade straight through her heart."You promised me time," she whispered. "You swore you’d give me a chance to prove myself, to prove that this marriag

    Lily stormed out of Liam’s office, her pulse thundering in her ears. The moment she stepped into the hallway, she felt her carefully contained emotions snap. She wasn’t just hurt she was furious.How dare he?How dare he assume the worst without even asking her? How dare he decide the fate of their marriage without giving her a say?She clenched her fists, sucking in sharp breaths as she made her way toward the elevator. But the moment the doors slid open, she faltered.Adrian stood inside."Lily?" His brows knit in concern as he stepped forward. "Are you okay?"She let out a bitter laugh, brushing a hand through her hair. "Do I look okay?"Adrian’s jaw tightened as he took in her face. "What did he do?"Lily exhaled shakily, trying to steady herself. "He wants a divorce."Adrian’s face darkened. "That bastard."A lump formed in her throat, but she swallowed it down. "It doesn’t matter.""Of course it matters," Adrian countered. "You love him."Lily’s lips parted, but she couldn’t bri

    Liam barely breathed as he stared at the message on his phone. His grip tightened around the device, his jaw clenching so hard it ached.Lily was with Adrian.Something inside him snapped.Without another word to Damien, he grabbed his coat and stormed out of his office. He didn’t know exactly where Adrian had taken her, but he had a damn good idea.And if Adrian thought he could take Lily from him, he was dead wrong.Lily sat across from Adrian at an upscale rooftop bar, the city lights stretching endlessly in the background. The air was crisp, and for the first time in what felt like forever, she could breathe."You look like you needed this," Adrian said, pushing a glass of wine toward her.Lily smiled faintly, fingers curling around the stem of the glass. "Yeah… I think I did."Adrian studied her for a moment. "Are you going to fight for him?"She exhaled sharply, staring down at her drink. "I don’t know. What’s the point? He’s already made up his mind."Adrian scoffed. "You reall

    Liam’s grip on Lily was desperate, as if she were the only thing tethering him to reality. She felt the tension in his muscles, the unspoken words still clinging to the air between them.She pulled back slightly, looking up at him. "I need you to promise me something, Liam."His jaw clenched. "Anything.""Don’t run from me again." Her voice was soft but firm. "No more pushing me away. No more shutting me out. If you want this if you want us you have to let me in completely."Liam swallowed hard. The war inside him was visible in the way his eyes darkened, in the way his body tensed. Vulnerability had never been something he allowed himself to feel. But with Lily, there was no escaping it.After a long, agonizing silence, he nodded. "I promise."Something in Lily eased.For the first time in weeks, she let herself believe that maybe just maybe they had a chance.But the moment was short lived.A sharp knock on the door made them both turn.Liam's body stiffened.

    Lily barely slept that night. Even with Liam’s arms wrapped securely around her, her mind kept replaying Charlotte’s words."To take everything from you."The weight of those words pressed on her chest like a heavy stone.Liam’s father had been a ghost in their relationship a shadow lurking in the background, never fully present but always influencing Liam’s choices. Now, that shadow was stepping into the light, and it was terrifying.She turned slightly in Liam’s embrace, watching his face in the dim light. Even in sleep, his brows were furrowed, his jaw tight. He was fighting a battle even in his dreams.Lily reached up and brushed her fingers against his cheek. He stirred, his eyes flickering open."You should be sleeping," he murmured, his voice rough with exhaustion."So should you."Liam sighed, pulling her closer. "I don’t have the luxury of sleep right now."She studied him. "Tell me the truth, Liam. How bad is it?"His silence was answer enough."Liam...""It doesn’t matter,"

    Lily’s heart pounded as she stared at Liam. The look in his eyes sent a shiver down her spine pure, raw determination edged with something darker and with this intense feeling. “Liam,” she whispered, gripping his arm. “Talk to me. What did he mean?” Liam exhaled slowly, rubbing a hand over his face. “It means my father has set everything in motion.” She swallowed hard. “And what does that mean for us?” Liam’s gaze softened slightly as he reached up to brush his thumb along her jawline. “It means you need to trust me.” That was not something she considered..She did trust him. But that didn’t make the uncertainty any easier to bear. Lily shifted closer. “You’re not alone in this, Liam. Whatever he’s planning, we’ll fight it together.” A ghost of a smile touched his lips before vanishing just as quickly. “You don’t understand, Lily. This isn’t just about my business. My father doesn’t play fair. He destroys lives.” Her fingers tightened around his. “Then let’s make sure he

Would he go into hiding? Or would he fight back?Inside Carlyle Tower, tension crackled like a live wire. Liam stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of his office, gazing down at the city below. His expression was unreadable, but the storm inside him was brewing.Lily sat on the leather couch, her stomach twisted in knots. "Liam, are you sure about this? Your father’s already poisoned the public against you. Whatever you say next..""will determine whether I lose everything or take him down with me," Liam finished, turning to face her.

    The silence between Lily and Liam was no longer a void it was charged, brimming with questions neither of them could form into words. After the reveal of the mole within the inner circle, and Charles’ near-death confession about the true mastermind behind their betrayal, things had escalated faster than either of them could control.The villa was now heavily guarded. Armed men patrolled the perimeter. Drones circled overhead. But none of that could protect Lily from the thoughts gnawing at her sanity.She sat on the edge of the master bedroom’s bed, her fingers twined tightly in her lap. Liam stood at the far end, near the window, staring out into the moonless night like a man trying to wrestle his demons into silence.Lily finally spoke. “You think this is all connected to your father, don’t you?”Liam didn’t turn. “It always goes back to him.”She hesitated. “But your father’s been dead for years, hasn’t he?”A bitter chuckle escaped Liam’s lips. “Dead, yes.

    Liam stood near the expansive window of his study, the city lights behind him flickering like dying stars. Lily sat on the edge of the sofa, her fingers nervously tracing the rim of her coffee cup. Around them, the low hum of strategists and loyal guards speaking into earpieces filled the room with a sense of wariness.“We’re not just playing defense anymore,” Liam finally said, turning to face them all. “It’s time we hit back.”Lily looked up, her eyes dark with determination. “And Emily?”Liam’s jaw tightened. “She made her choice.”“But she’s still my sister,” Lily insisted softly.Liam approached her, kneeling to meet her eyes. “And you’re my wife. I can’t let her destroy you out of some warped sense of betrayal.”A beat passed between them.“I’m not afraid of Emily,” Lily whispered. “I’m afraid of losing her forever.”Liam didn’t respond. He knew that fear. He’d seen it in the mirror every day since Julian Ward re-emerged into their lives, dragging the past behind him like a rust

    Lily stared at her reflection in the mirror, the soft glow of dawn creeping through the curtains behind her. Her eyes looked different now tired, aged by truth and betrayal, and tinged with something new: resolve. The flash drive’s revelations had burned deep into her soul, forcing her to reconcile the version of Emily she had loved with the one working against her.She ran her fingers through her hair and exhaled slowly. “Whatever happens today,” she whispered to herself, “I’m not walking away without the truth.”Liam appeared behind her in the reflection, already dressed in his usual tailored black. His presence was solid, grounding. “The meeting is set,” he said. “A private estate outside the city. Heavily guarded. If this is a trap, we’ll know soon enough.”Lily turned to face him. “I have to see her, Liam. If she’s really gone to the other side, I need to hear it from her. I need to look her in the eye and know I didn’t imagine everything we once shared.”He studied her face for

    The night air was thick with silence as Lily paced the dimly lit hallway of the safe house. Her mind was a whirlwind, thoughts racing faster than her feet could carry her. Each moment spent in that place felt like time borrowed precious and uncertain. She had barely slept since the confrontation with Charles. Her trust had been shattered into fragments, each one cutting deeper than the last.Liam hadn’t said much since returning from his private meeting with one of his intelligence contacts. The only thing he had told her was to “stay inside” and “don’t trust anyone.” And she didn’t. Not anymore.She paused by the large window overlooking the courtyard, arms folded tightly across her chest. The moon cast a pale silver glow, illuminating the shadows around the perimeter. She saw two of Liam’s men patrolling, their movements sharp and disciplined. But even that didn’t calm her nerves.Behind her, a door creaked softly.She turned swiftly, eyes meeting Liam’s as he stepped into the hallw

    The morning sun filtered in through the heavily curtained windows, casting soft golden streaks across the hardwood floor. Lily sat at the edge of the large bed, her fingers tangled in the hem of her sweater. The air was thick with silence, the kind that held unspoken fears and unanswered questions.Liam stood across the room, near the window, his back to her. He had barely slept. The events of the past few days had cracked open wounds he thought long buried. And now, with Charles captured and new truths beginning to unravel, the next move had to be calculated.Lily finally broke the silence. "What if there’s more we don’t know? More people involved?"Liam turned slowly, his eyes shadowed but steady. "There’s always more, Lily. People like Charles are never alone. They work for someone. And if we want to end this, we have to go deeper."Lily swallowed the lump rising in her throat. "Do you think it’s someone in your circle? One of your board members? A family connection?"He crossed th

    Lily sat in the dimly lit room, the quiet hum of the night surrounding her like a cocoon. The silence was unsettling, filled with unsaid words and dangerous possibilities. Liam had stepped out to handle security reinforcements, leaving her alone with her racing thoughts and the weight of everything they had just discovered.The confrontation with Charles still echoed in her ears. The calmness in his voice, the smirk on his face—as if he had been waiting for this moment, orchestrating it from the shadows. What disturbed her more was the fact that he hadn’t denied anything. If anything, he had embraced the role of the betrayer.A soft knock pulled her from her thoughts.She stiffened. "Who is it?""It’s me," Liam's voice called out. It was low but reassuring.She opened the door slowly. His face was taut, his eyes stormy."They tried to cut the surveillance feed a few minutes ago," he said. "Whoever Charles is working with, they’re making their move soon.""Why would Charles betray you?

    The night pressed down on the safe house like a shroud. The only light came from the dim glow of a single wall sconce in the hallway, casting long shadows across the tile floor. Lily stood by the window, her arms wrapped around herself as she stared out into the moonlit darkness. Each passing second fed the unease curling in her stomach.Behind her, Liam paced the room. His phone was glued to his ear as he barked low, urgent instructions to one of his most trusted men. Charles’ sudden appearance at the villa had cracked something wide open the illusion of control Liam had managed to maintain was slipping."Double the patrols. No one goes in or out without my say so," Liam ordered sharply. "And find out how the hell Charles knew we were here."He ended the call and turned to Lily, his expression unreadable. "How are you holding up?"She managed a tight nod. "I’m okay. Just... trying to make sense of all this."Liam moved closer, his presence grounding her. "I won’t let anything happen

    The air inside the safehouse was thick with tension, every breath a reminder that trust had become a scarce currency. Lily sat silently on the edge of the bed, her fingers knotted tightly in her lap as Liam paced in front of the shuttered window. He had barely said a word since Charles was taken into custody, his face a stoic mask hiding the storm she knew raged within.She could still hear Charles’s voice echoing in her mind. “I wasn’t the only one.” Those words haunted her, burrowed deep into her bones like a chill she couldn’t shake. If Charles had accomplices, then they were still in danger and possibly being watched.Liam finally stopped pacing and turned to face her. His eyes, usually cold and calculating, were laced with something else now a quiet fury that simmered just beneath the surface.“I have to go back,” he said.Lily frowned. “Back to the mansion?”He nodded. “There are files. Information Charles had access to. If anyone else is involved, there will be traces.”She sto

    The air in the villa was thick with tension. Lily sat by the window, her eyes scanning the perimeter of the high walls surrounding them. It had been three days since the confrontation with Charles, and the silence that followed was almost more unsettling than the chaos itself.Liam had barely spoken, too consumed with interrogations and reinforcing security. His entire demeanor had shifted sharper, colder, more ruthless. The man who had once wrapped his arms around her in the middle of the night, whispering reassurances, now paced the hallways like a lion in a cage."He was waiting for us," Lily muttered to herself, tracing invisible circles on the glass. She couldn't shake the feeling that the betrayal ran deeper than they had imagined.Footsteps echoed down the corridor, and Liam entered the room, his phone pressed to his ear."Keep eyes on every contact he's had in the past year. No excuses. I want answers by tonight," he barked before hanging up.His eyes landed on Lily, softening
