The next morning, Lily woke up to the sound of gentle waves and the warmth of Mark's embrace. She smiled and gently turned to face him while trying not to startle him awake, only to see his eyes were wide open and he was fully dressed in a white t-shirt and grey shorts.

"Good morning, beautiful," Mark whispered, his lips brushing against her nose. "Did you enjoy your sleep?"

"Good morning, handsome." She greeted, "I did; I feel so refreshed."

Mark sat up and reached out to the bedside table. He handed her a bouquet of roses and a small, elegantly wrapped box.

"I thought you deserved a special surprise."

Lily's heart skipped a beat as she opened the box, revealing a stunning silver necklace with a tiny crystal pendant.

"It's so beautiful, Mark."

He helped her put on the necklace, his fingers tracing her skin, sending shivers down her spine.

"It's not as beautiful as you are." Lily's cheeks flushed as Mark's words sent a flutter through her chest.

    Lily's eyes widened in shock as she stared at Mark across the table. "You want me to move in with you?" she repeated, her voice laced with incredulity. "Like, for us to live together?"Mark nodded, his expression hopeful. "Yes, exactly. I want us to take our relationship to the next level, and I think moving in together is a good place to start.""I honestly didn't see this coming," Lily chuckled as she relaxed into the chair, her hair dancing to the rhythm of the air. "What made you think of this?""It's not just some spontaneous thoughts after last night, I promise," he teased a Lily flushed at the thought of their steamy escapade the previous night. She playfully glared at him, and he chuckled before continuing with our explanation. "I've been thinking about it for a while now. We spend most of our free time together anyway. It just makes sense to make it official.""I mean, we don't have to wait until both of us have some free time before we see each other. I want to see you all

    Celina settled into the chair opposite Lily's desk, a mischievous grin spreading across her face. "Spill the beans, girl!" she exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with curiosity."Spill what?" Lily replied, feigning nonchalance, as she continued to focus on the file in front of her. "What are you talking about, Celina?"Celina's grin widened. "Don't play dumb, Lily. I know all about your weekend with Mark. I want juicy details.""You can't leave anything out! The good, the bad, and even the erotic," she added. "Seeing how Mark was glowing when he returned, you'd think he went to paradise and came back!" Lily's cheeks flushed, despite her attempts to maintain a poker face. "He did go to paradise," Lily replied with a cheeky smile, making Celina roll her eyes. "Come on, share!" Celina urged, leaning forward. "How was the trip? Did Mark sweep you off your feet? And, more importantly, did you two take things to the next level?"Lily sighed, setting the file aside. "Celina, you're relentless.

    "What are you doing here?" Lily asked, surprise as she saw Mark stepping out of his car in front of the courthouse."I came to support my beautiful and hard-working girlfriend at her trial," he replied with a cheeky smile. "Can't I be here?" Lily's eyes narrowed her expression to a mix of amusement and annoyance. "You know you can't just show up unannounced. What if the press sees you?""I'm willing to take that risk. Besides, I want to be here for you. You've been stressing about this trial for weeks," Mark replied with a shrug as he got closer to Lily. Close enough for them to feel comforted with each other's scent but far enough for it to look like any regular business partner talking. Lily sighed, her shoulders relaxing slightly. "I appreciate the thought, but you're going to draw attention. This is a high-profile case. Unnecessarily so, since Ryder Technologies publicises it more than expected.""I'm quite curious as to why they are doing something so foolish, but I guess we wi

    Lily raised an eyebrow at Julius's sudden request. "Coffee? Now?" she asked, her tone sceptical."Yes, I think we should have a discussion. Outside of court." Julius replied with a forced smile, making Lily more sceptical. Mark's eyes narrowed as he noticed the two conversing, his protective instincts on high alert. He walked up to them, his hands in his pocket, as he stood beside Lily protectively. "What is going on here?" He asked with a raised brow."Oh, Mr. Ryder here was asking for a coffee break," Lily replied calmly. "Then I'll join you two; I need some caffeine boost anyway," he said, his voice firm while he stared daringly at Julius. Julius held up a hand, his brows furrowed together in irritation at the intrusion. "No, Mr Watson, this is between Ms Turner and me. A private discussion.""A private discussion?" Marked echoed. "Did you forget both of you are in the middle of a court trial? Why would you want to have a private discussion with her?""I told you the other time

    "So is the dinner offer at your place still on?" Lily teased as they both walked out of the court. "I'm hungry and craving for something made by my loving boyfriend." "Of course it is, and so is my offer for you to move in with me," Mark replied, his lips curling up into a smirk. "I owe you a celebratory dinner. Would you like to go with me or your manager?" "Don't you have other work to do today? There's still a few hours before dinner," Lily pointed out, making Mark scrunch up his nose in disapproval. "I'm avoiding the meeting with the whole Watson's board of directors," he confessed. "Of course, I'm also here to support you. Don't get me wrong. And I'd rather spend the rest of the day with you than spend it hearing those senile old men whining."Lily playfully rolled her eyes at his overreaction. "Oh, my poor baby, avoiding the big bad board of directors? You're a CEO, mister. Can't handle a little heat?" She teased, making Mark chuckle, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Hey,

    "It's nice to finally meet you, Miss Lily," William greeted as he stretched out his hand for a handshake.Lily’s eyes flicked to William’s outstretched hand, and for a moment, she froze. Memories of her past life flashed through her mind, crashing against the fragile composure she’d carefully maintained since her rebirth. His voice—smooth and polite—sounded the same as the day she had died. Nothing about him had changed.Well, except for the stress lines on his face. Everything else was the same. His fake smile. Calculating eyes and his overly professional front. Everything was the same, making her feel the urge to poke out the breakfast Mark had painstakingly made for her. Her stomach churned, a mix of anger, disgust, and raw hatred bubbling to the surface. Her hands clenched into fists at her sides, her nails biting into her palms as she fought to control the storm threatening to overwhelm her. She wanted to scream, to lash out, to make him feel every ounce of the pain he had c

    {What plans do you have in place to deal with Hamilton?} Lily huffed as the treadmill came to a stop. She picked up a bottle of water from the counter and downed it as she tried to catch her breath. Ever since her first meeting with Henry and Williams Hamilton, she has had to be getting more agitated than usual. Lily wiped the sweat from her brow, her mind buzzing with calculated schemes as she finished the water. She placed the empty bottle back on the counter and stared at her reflection in the gym mirror.The anger in her eyes was a familiar fuel, one she'd grown accustomed to since regaining her memories. Even then, the anger had increased since she met them again. The mere thought of their smug faces made her blood boil.In her previous life, they'd stripped her of everything—her dignity, her dreams, and her very life. But this time, she wouldn’t be the helpless victim."I'm going to take everything away from them; I'll break them piece by piece," she gritted out. "They'd wish

    "Who are you?" Lily asked, confused. "Where's Alana?"Lily asked as she walked into Alana's office, surprised to see a dishevelled woman sitting behind the desk, surrounded by piles of paperwork with eye bags covering half of her face.Alana rolled her eyes and let out a sigh. "I'm Alana," she replied dully, making Lily's eyes widen in shock. "Oh dear me!" She exclaimed. "How did you become like this?" "How do you intend to get married in the future when you are already like this at such a young age?" She continued to fuse as she walked close to Alana. The closer she got, the more she realised how much of a mess the whole place had become since the last time she had visited.Not only were takeout boxes and plastic coffee cups littering the whole place but even used tissues were discarded everywhere. "What in the name of disaster happened here?" She asked. Before Alana could reply, the door was pushed over to reveal a similar-looking Avon pushing in a mobile cloth rack. "Even you?"

    "We received a tip from an anonymous sender," the news anchor announced. "Evidence of crimes committed by a certain family whose name has recently been on the internet where a certain banquet video was uploaded." "This evidence includes the cause of both Mabel and Victoria Hamilton's untimely deaths. As well as many other criminal cases that would ultimately lead to the downfall of the prestigious family." "At the same time, we got news that the leadership position of the corporation owned by this family has changed hands. For now, this particular news has not been confirmed." The following morning, chaos erupted. News outlets were flooded with breaking stories about Henry and Kate’s crimes. Social media exploded with outrage as videos and documents went viral. Law enforcement agencies were forced to respond, launching immediate investigations."Oh goodness! Why are all the big corporations and names getting exposed this year?""Is justice finally coming out into the open?! My moth

    "It's turned on," Lily reported to Bryan over the phone as the other asked about the computer that was delivered to him. "And I've confirmed that it really was the one that has been sending those messages to Hamilton.""It's connected to that AI-powered robot in the vault." She continued. "And to top it off, all evidence of Henry's misdeeds was recorded in it. Including notes written by my mother." "Are they enough to send Henry out?" Bryan asked "Yes, and his wife too." Lily replied. "There are several videos of Kate poisoning my mother while she was still pretending to be a housekeeper. And also a clear video from my last moment as Victoria." Bryan's voice grew tense. "Lily, if we release this information, it won't just end Henry and Kate's hold on the Hamilton family. It could ruin Hamilton completely.""It won't," Lily breathed out. "At first I just wanted to ruin everything and get it over with, but now I want to cherish my mother's hard work and the legacy she left behind."

    "Is that Mark's private car?" Lily asked with a frown as she watched the video gotten from the camera close to the factory address sent to her.{The plate number index matches that of Mark's private car. However, this video was made about three weeks ago.}Frowning, Lily replayed the video again. It was a car driving on a highway in the middle of the night. Seeing the date, she recalled she had a date with Mark that night and after he had hurried off. All through their time together, it was even more restless than usual. "Is this all you found?" {There is a similar video of him returning back to the city. But he hasn't gone back to the factory after that.}She jumped off her chair, got changed into a comfortable sweatshirt and pants, and a black sneaker. She picked a small hiking backpack from the closet and her wallet as she exited her apartment.{You are going to the factory?}"Yes," Lily replied calmly. "I at least need to figure out why they sent the note even if I don't know w

    "Can you arrange a meeting with Annabelle Wilson?" As she sent the message, Bryan replied almost immediately. Lily glanced at Bryan's text and smirked. "De Ox tonight, between 8 PM and 9 PM. Perfect."She quickly tapped out a reply: Thanks. It's such perfect timing.Bryan: Need help?Lily: I'll be fine on my own. With her plan in motion, Lily pulled up the files containing Henry's promiscuity, one she had meticulously prepared for Henry’s misdeeds. Photos, text messages, and financial transactions—everything she needed to plant the seed of doubt in Annabelle’s mind was compiled neatly in a folder.At exactly 8:15, Lily walked into the dimly lit lounge, her heels clicking softly against the marble floor. She gave off an air of confidence, dressed in a sleek black dress that hinted at authority and poise. Her eyes scanned the room until they landed on Annabelle Wilson—a striking woman in her early forties, elegantly dressed in a champagne-coloured gown.Annabelle looked up as Lily a

    "I think now is the perfect time to get the computer," Lily announced over the phone. "Given the news about his wife's scandal, Henry and William will be too busy to guard the company like a guard dog." "You want me to send people in there pretending to be electricians to retrieve the computer?" Bryan asked, and Lily hummed. "It will be a bit difficult for me to retrieve it at the moment." Lily replied. "Heard you've not been out of your apartment since the announcement. That's a week ago; that's unhealthy." Bryan sighed. "I'll come pick you up later today, and then we can discuss whatever your plans are." "There won't be a need for that," Lily gritted out as she worked away on her laptop. "I can't afford to be distracted right now.""Is this about Mark's engagement to Roseline?" Bryan asked, making Lily pause as her eyes narrowed at the screen of her laptop. "This has nothing to do with Mark or his engagement." She breathed out, massaging her forehead as she felt her eyes stingi

    Lily walked into the living room with an extra sway in her hips as she remembered the event from the previous night. A small smile played on her lips, feeling giddy and excited about the news from the previous night's banquet. She picked up the remote and turned on the TV while waiting for the news with a warm cup of tea in hand. However, instead of the scandal she was expecting, she was met with Mark and Roseline's red carpet photos. Frowning, she turned up the volume just in time for the reporter to announce:"Next on the line of news is Mark Watson, the newly appointed CEO of the Watson Group. The genius businessman has finally announced his engagement with Roseline Anderson, the popular A-list actress."Lily’s smile froze, the warmth from her tea doing little to quell the chill that spread through her chest. Her hand tightened around the cup as she stared at the screen, unable to believe what she was hearing.“Engaged?” She whispered, her voice shaky. “That’s not possible.”The

    {Now we wait.} "Can you hack into the security cameras around here?" Lily asked as she returned to the main banquet, still holding the glass of wine in hand. As she walked in, she noticed Henry looking around the hall with a furrowed brow. His shoulders tense and his fingers tightly wrapped around the wine glass. She scowled, her eyes narrowing as she lifted the new wine glass to her lips just in time for Henry to look her way. He visibly breathed out a sigh of relief while his eyes held expectations at seeing her take the drink. {You should know that's a piece of cake. You want me to monitor Kate's movement?} "Yes, get the recordings and send them to the media. I want it to be the first news tomorrow morning."{Consider it done, my lady.}"How long will it take you to hack it?" Lily asked as she began walking towards the toilet area, where she could easily escape the crowd and get out of the banquet.{By the time you make it out, I'll be done.}"I need to pretend I'm affected by

    "We got an invite from Hamilton to attend their end of the year banquet," Mr. Wallace reported as he gave the invite to Lily. Lily accepted the invitation, her eyes scanning the elegant gold-embossed card. The Hamilton End-of-Year Banquet—a perfect stage for her next move. She set the card down on her desk and looked up at Mr. Wallace, her expression neutral but calculating."Who else from the company received an invitation?" she asked."Just you, Miss Turner. It’s marked as a ‘personal guest’ invite," Wallace replied. "Of course it is. Henry wouldn’t miss the chance to match me with his son." Lily snickered as she read the details of the invite. Wallace hesitated, his expression full of worry. "Do you plan on attending? It’s bound to be a huge event, and given the recent public opinion about them, it may affect the image of our company if you are seen mingling with them." Lily chuckled softly at Wallace's concern, leaning back in her chair. "The Hamiltons love theatrics. If Henry
