55Lilian POVGrace, always the curious one, asked, "So, what's on the menu for tonight?"I couldn't hide the worry that crept into my voice as I replied, "Well, this evening, I decided to cooked The Truffle Risotto with Edible Gold Flakes."Yeah ultimately I decided to keep this dish, I wasn't going to live according to Lucas or avoid cooking his preferences, ever in life! Lucas raised an eyebrow in intrigue, his eyes darting towards the kitchen. "Oh, really? That sounds interesting. I'm excited to try it." He said, a hint of excitement in his voice. Then he looked at me as if to say, 'you prepared it because you knew it was my favorite food, right?' I quickly looked away embarrassed.But my heart fluttered at his genuine interest, even though I tried to hide it. After all, he was my ex-crush and nobody knew the conflicted emotions I still harbored.I finally nodded, feeling a mixture of pride and nervousness. "Yes, really. I thought it would be a nice treat for tonight."Cooking h

56Lilian POVAs if sensing the need to break the oppressive atmosphere, Damien cleared his throat and turned to Grace, his thoughtful expression evident. "You know, Grace, I think you are right. But, there's something more urgent at the moment," he said, eyes darting between her and me.Curiosity piqued, I glanced up from my glass, waiting for Damien to continue.Leaning forward, Damien's voice lowered, a sense of urgency creeping into his words. "After hearing about how someone tried to kill Lilian the same way they tried to kill you, Grace, an idea occurred to me," he revealed, his eyes flickering with a newfound determination.Grace's eyes widened, her demeanor shifting from combative to intrigued. "What idea, Damien?""Well," he began, his voice taking on a more grave tone, "I was thinking of installing cameras in the hospital. That way, we might be able to catch whoever is responsible for these attempts on both your lives."That damn idea of cameras again? I thought we agreed

57Lilian POVWhen I woke up the next morning, I immediately noticed that the bed was empty. Damien hadn't slept next to me. Not that I was surprised after our nasty argument yesterday. Determined to clear the air, I quickly brushed my teeth, changed my clothes, and went in search of him.I made my way to the guest room, but he wasn't there. Seeking him out, I descended the stairs and entered the living room, only to find Damien lying on the couch fast asleep. Quietly, I settled myself beside him and gently shook him awake.He opened his eyes, and his expression was filled with anger. I contemplated my next words carefully before launching into the conversation. "We need to seriously talk, Damien," I said softly, hoping to convey my sincerity.He groaned and rubbed his face, clearly not thrilled about having this discussion. "What is it now?" he muttered, clearly still upset from last night's events.Taking a deep breath, I began to explain. "I understand that I went too far with the
Unbroken Bonds : The Triplets Mother's Return. Is this her?
58Lilian POVHer response caught me completely off guard, and I couldn't help but burst into laughter. "A nurse-turned-mechanic, huh? That's quite a shift! But I can see how your attention to detail would come in handy in that field."Lisa immediately held her mouth as if she regretted her answer. Intrigued by her reaction, I asked her if there was a problem. "Is something wrong, Lisa?"She hesitated for a moment before answering, "I'm sorry, Lilian. I'm afraid my answer may have upset you."I chuckled, trying to hide my confusion. "Upset me? Why would it upset me?"She lowered her gaze, hesitating once again, and then finally spoke, "Well, you see, I work at your fiancé hospital where we first met, and I thought you'd have a certain image of me being fully dedicated to nursing. I didn't mean to disappoint you."I couldn't help but be amused by her concern. "Oh, Lisa! Don't you worry. I think it's amazing how you followed your passion and found new interests. It shows how versatile a

59Lilian POVLater, as I was engrossed in my work, a sudden knock interrupted my concentration. Irritated, I was about to called out to the person to enter, only to be taken aback as the door swung open to reveal Lucas striding in with his trademark arrogance. "Couldn't you wait until I gave you permission to enter? What if i was naked?" I snapped, my annoyance evident in my tone. But Lucas simply smirked in response, his handsome face betraying a hint of mischief. "Come on, Lilian. As far as I know, this won't be the first or last time I see you naked," he chuckled, his self-assurance oozing from every pore. My cheeks flushed at his audacious remark, a mix of embarrassment and frustration filling me."Enough!" I exclaimed, my anger bubbling to the surface. "It was a mistake for both of us that night." But Lucas only laughed dismissively, seemingly unperturbed by my words."Oh, yes. Let's console ourselves with that," he retorted, his tone dripping with sarcasm. Suddenly, his expre
Unbroken Bonds : The Triplets Mother's Return. A date
60Lilian POVAt home, as we sat down to dinner, I looked at Damien and couldn't contain my fake excitement. "Guess what, Damien?" I exclaimed. "Logan has progressed with his investigations! He has a date with Lisa tonight and plans to use the opportunity to gather evidence."Damien paused, mid-bite of his delicious chicken parmigiana, and raised an eyebrow. "Lisa? Do you think she fits the profile of our culprit?" he asked, clearly curious.I carefully placed my fork down on my plate and rested both elbows on the table, crossing my hands. Thinking for a moment, I replied, "From my point of view, no, I don't believe Lisa is our culprit. But of course, I could be wrong. However, I have this gut feeling that tells me the real culprit is watching us from a distance, almost enjoying our confusion."Damien took a sip of his rich, full-bodied red wine and confidently stated, "I trust Logan's judgment. If he suspects Lisa, there must be a reason for it."Letting out a sigh, unsure of which d
Unbroken Bonds : The Triplets Mother's Return. The photo
61Lucas POV After paying the bill at the restaurant, I insisted on treating Lisa and we hailed a taxi to her apartment, where my investigation would begin.As we arrived at her cozy and inviting apartment, I couldn't help but be drawn to the warm and homely atmosphere. Soft lighting and tasteful decorations created a pleasant ambiance that put me at ease, at least momentarily.The walls were adorned with framed photographs, capturing precious moments and memories. The living room had a comfortable sofa and a large television, inviting relaxation. It had a warm and inviting ambiance.But my mind was preoccupied with the task at hand."Thanks for tonight, Logan. I had a wonderful time," Lisa said with a smile as we stood inside her apartment.Returning her smile, I replied, "The pleasure was all mine, Lisa. I'm glad we got to spend this time together."But behind that smile, I couldn't shake off my suspicions. I knew I had to act on them, even if it meant invading Lisa's privacy. So,
Unbroken Bonds : The Triplets Mother's Return. Uhm... meaning of Alpha !?
62Lilian POVInfuriated by Lucas behavior, I couldn't help but retort, "And by behaving this way, how exactly do you expect me to join your pack of my own free will? I am not some puppet to be forced into a role."With a stern expression, he coldly informed me," Lilian listen to me very well,” he began, his voice firm, “I would resort to force if necessary and make you my Luna." The threat hung heavily in the air, causing a mix of disappointment, annoyance, and anger to surge within me. Shaking my head, I decided to abruptly change the subject, trying to divert his attention."Is it possible that someone knew about your date with Lisa and purposefully placed the photo to frame her?" I questioned, my tone sharp with accusation. He let out a mocking laugh, his gaze piercing into me as though I were a fool. "Lilian, you always make these crazy assumptions," he scoffed. Just as his words echoed through the room, a sudden knock at the door interrupted us.Before we could give permission

98Lilian My heart sank at his words, but I forced myself to stay calm, though every part of me wanted to lash out. “Why?” I asked, my voice almost breaking. “Why would you do that, Lucas?”He gave me a look of exaggerated disbelief. “What? A guy like me can’t settle down?”“You and I both know this isn’t about settling down,” I said bitterly, trying to keep the anger from spilling over. “You’re playing a game, as always.”Lucas shrugged, completely unbothered by my accusation. “Maybe I am, maybe I’m not. What does it matter? Grace is head over heels for me, and I thought, why not? Might as well have a little fun.”“Fun?” I repeated, my voice rising despite my best efforts to keep it steady. “You’re talking about someone’s life, Lucas! Grace actually believes this is real!”“And whose fault is that?” he shot back, his smirk fading just slightly. “She chose to believe what she wanted. I never promised her a fairy tale.”“You proposed to her!” I spat, unable to contain my frustration a

97Lilian I stood there, frozen for a moment after Grace left, her excitement lingering in the air while I was trapped in a whirlpool of my own thoughts. Damien hadn’t said a word since she left, but I could feel the storm brewing inside him. His shoulders were tense, and he kept running a hand through his hair, something he only did when he was stressed beyond measure.I cleared my throat, trying to ease the tension in the room. "Damien, what’s going on?" I asked softly, stepping closer to him. "You’re clearly not fine."He stopped pacing, his eyes meeting mine, and I could see the frustration brewing behind them. "Lilian, we need to talk," he said, his voice low but sharp. My stomach clenched. I wasn’t sure I wanted to hear what was coming next."What’s wrong?" I pressed, hoping to keep the conversation calm.He took a deep breath, rubbing his temples like he was trying to gather the right words. "It’s about the money."I blinked, confused. "The money? What about it?""You’ve been

96Lilian A few days later, I sat on the sofa, half-watching a TV show that I wasn’t really invested in. My mind kept drifting back to Lisa’s situation and the overwhelming feeling of helplessness that had gripped me since my conversation with Rebecca. The tension in the house was palpable, but I was trying to distract myself, anything to escape the weight of reality for a little while.Suddenly, I heard a loud knock at the door, followed by the unmistakable sound of someone letting themselves in. Before I could even process what was happening, Grace came barreling into the living room like a whirlwind."Lilian!" she shouted, her voice brimming with excitement as she practically leapt at me. I barely had time to react before she was hugging me tightly, her energy infectious. “Grace, what—?” I started, trying to get a word in as she pulled back and thrust her hand in front of my face. I blinked, trying to focus on what she was showing me.Her eyes were practically glowing with joy as

95Lilian As I pulled into my driveway, I was surprised to see Damien’s car parked outside. It took me a moment to remember that today was Wednesday, his usual day to come home early. I entered the house and found Damien in the living room, lounging on the sofa with a book. He looked up as I walked in, his eyes narrowing slightly with concern. “Hey, Lilian,” he said, setting the book aside. “You’re home early. Everything alright?”I hesitated, trying to concoct a believable excuse. “Oh, um, I wasn’t feeling well, so I decided to come back early,” I said, forcing a weak smile.Damien’s expression softened, but there was a note of reproach in his voice. “I told you not to push yourself too hard. You should really take it easy. If you’re not feeling well, it’s better to rest up for a few days.”“I’m fine,” I insisted, though I knew it was a lie. “I didn’t think it was that serious.”“No, Lilian,” Damien said firmly, rising from the sofa and walking over to me. “You need to stay home a

94Lilian Once I was in my car, I pulled out my phone and quickly searched for the best private detective agency in town. After a few rings, a calm, professional voice answered.“Good afternoon, Zenith Investigations. How can we assist you today?”“Hi, this is Dr. Lilian Grey,” I said, trying to keep my voice steady. “I need to hire a private detective to investigate someone. It’s urgent.”“Certainly, Dr. Grey,” the receptionist replied smoothly. “May I ask for some details? Who is the subject of the investigation, and what exactly are you looking for?”I hesitated, the weight of the situation pressing down on me. “Her name is Grace Walters. I suspect she might be involved in something... illegal. I need someone to dig into her background, her recent activities, everything.”“Understood,” the receptionist said. “We’ll assign one of our best detectives to your case. When would you be available for a meeting to discuss this further?”“Right now,” I said, not wanting to waste any more t

93My jaw tightened as I struggled to keep my composure. “That’s great to hear, Grace.”Lucas looked at me with a mixture of surprise and unease. “Lilian, I didn’t expect to see you here.”“Apparently,” I said, my tone sharper than I intended, “neither did I.”Grace’s smile faltered slightly, but she quickly recovered. “Well, Logan and I have been working through things. He’s taking responsibility now, and I really believe we have a future together.”I fought to keep my eyes from rolling. “I’m glad you think so.”Lucas shifted uncomfortably, his gaze darting between Grace and me. “Lilian, I—”“Don’t,” I interrupted, my voice cold. “I don’t want to hear it.”Grace’s eyes widened, her enthusiasm dimming as she sensed the tension. “Is everything okay, Lilian?”“No,” I said, my frustration bubbling to the surface. “Everything is not okay.”Grace looked between us, her confusion evident. “What’s wrong?”I took a deep breath, trying to control my emotions. “Lisa Hackerman is in jail, and yo

92**Lilian’s POV**I sat in my car, the engine humming softly, and stared at the police station. The building loomed in front of me, a cold reminder of the mess everything had become. I took a deep breath and forced myself to get out of the car. I needed to see Lisa, to understand what was happening from her perspective. With a determined stride, I walked to the entrance and was met by a stern-faced officer.“I’m here to see Lisa Hackerman,” I said, trying to keep my voice steady despite the knot of anxiety in my chest.The officer raised an eyebrow, his gaze scrutinizing. “You’re allowed five minutes. Follow me.”My heart pounded as he led me through the maze of corridors. I tried to ignore the gnawing worry that threatened to overwhelm me. Finally, he stopped in front of a cell and unlocked the door. As it swung open, Lisa looked up, her face lighting up with a mixture of surprise and hope.“Lilian!” she exclaimed, her voice cracking slightly. She rushed to the bars, her eyes wide

91I stood there, staring at Lucas, feeling the frustration and anger boiling inside me. The tension between us was thick, and I struggled to keep my voice calm as I asked, "So, you’re still with her?"Lucas nodded, avoiding my gaze, and that small movement made my blood boil. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. "Yeah... for now. I need to figure things out, Lilian. Everything’s so messed up right now."I clenched my fists so tight that my nails dug into my palms, trying to control the storm of emotions threatening to overwhelm me. "Lucas, this isn’t just about you figuring things out. Grace deserves to know the truth, and so does Lisa. You can’t keep stringing everyone along like this."“I know,” he said, his voice barely a whisper. His eyes met mine briefly, filled with guilt and weariness, before he looked away again. "I know," he whispered again, almost like he was ashamed to admit it. "But I’m stuck, Lilian. I don’t know how to make this right."I could feel the frustration a

90Lilian's POVThe next day, Damien left early for work, his usual confidence masking the tension that still lingered between us. I felt a knot of frustration tighten in my chest as I watched him go, his words from the night before still echoing in my mind. I couldn't shake the doubt he’d planted, but I also couldn't let go of my belief in Lisa's innocence. I needed to talk to someone who might understand, or at least help me see things more clearly. I decided to visit Lucas. I had to know what he thought about Lisa’s arrest. Maybe he could offer a perspective that would ease my troubled mind. As I walked to his apartment, my heart pounded with a mix of anxiety and determination. I wasn't sure what I was hoping to hear, but I knew I needed to talk to him.When I reached Lucas’s door, I hesitated for a moment, my hand hovering just inches from the wood. Finally, I knocked, the sound echoing through the hallway. A few seconds later, the door creaked open, and there he was, looking a l
