Luca's POV

Two days later,

In the evening, I was out of my house when Damien spotted me. He called my name, his voice carrying a mix of excitement and urgency.

"Logan! Hey, wait up!"

I turned to see him jogging towards me, a smile playing on his lips. Despite the weight of recent events, his presence still stirred a flutter of warmth in my chest.

"Hey, Damien," I greeted, forcing a smile of my own. "What's up?"

He fell into step beside me, his movements quick and purposeful. "I wanted to catch you before you disappeared for the night," he began, his brow furrowing with concern. "Can we talk?"

His request sent a pang of apprehension through me, but I nodded, curiosity gnawing at my insides. "Sure, what's on your mind?"

Damien glanced around, as if searching for a suitable place to have our conversation. Finally, he gestured towards his home. "Let's head over to my place. It's quieter there."

I followed him, the walk feeling longer and more daunting with each step. As we entered his

Lilian should put her foot down and stand firm to reject Lucas and put her undivided love to Damien. Or else, I would think she’s stupid. Lucas doesn’t deserve her love. Damien deserves her love.

I'm so happy for you and Damien," Grace beamed, her eyes sparkling with excitement.Lilian smiled politely, her gaze flickering to me before returning to Grace. "Thank you, Grace. We're both really excited."Grace turned to me, a mischievous glint in her eye. "And when are we going to hear wedding bells for you, Logan?" she teased, nudging me playfully.I forced a smile, suppressing the urge to roll my eyes. "Oh, you know me, Grace. I'm in no rush for that kind of commitment," I replied, trying to keep my tone light.Grace laughed, but there was a hint of disappointment in her voice. "Oh, come on, Logan! You can't stay a bachelor forever. Besides, it's about time you settled down."I shifted uncomfortably in my seat, feeling the weight of Grace's words pressing down on me.

    82Luca's POVLater in the day, ~lunch time~I walked into the restaurant with a heavy heart, the weight of guilt and uncertainty pressing down on me like a ton of bricks. Grace's cheerful greeting did little to lift my spirits as we settled into our seats."So, Logan, how are you today?" Grace's voice sounded forced, as if she was trying to keep things light despite the tension between us.I mustered a smile, but it felt hollow. "Oh, you know, same old, same old," I replied, hoping she wouldn't see through my facade.But Grace was perceptive, her concern palpable. "You seem... distant," she remarked, her brow furrowing with worry.I shifted uncomfortably in my seat, avoiding her gaze. "Just tired, I guess," I muttered, hoping she wouldn't pry any further.But Grace wasn't about to let it go. "Is everything okay, Logan?" Her tone was gentle but insistent, her eyes searching mine for the truth.My fists clenched beneath the table, the weight of her suspicion su

As I stood outside Lilian's office, my heart raced with anticipation and nerves. I took a deep breath, steeling myself for the confrontation ahead. Knocking on the door, I could feel the weight of the file in my hand, its contents burning a hole in my conscience."Lilian?" I called out, my voice shaky with uncertainty.The door swung open, and Lilian's eyes widened in surprise, quickly morphing into a scowl of irritation. "Lucas, what the hell are you doing here?" she snapped, her tone sharp and accusatory.I stepped into her office, my palms sweaty and my heart pounding in my chest. "I need to talk to you," I said, trying to keep my voice steady despite the tumult raging inside me.Lilian crossed her arms, her expression a mixture of anger and impatience.

    84Lilian's POVAfter Lucas's department, I was disconcerted and wondered if Lucas might be lying to me so that I got into trouble with Damien. But, at the same time, this explained why Damien has never shown the desire to have a child and why he avoided me the time he knew that I was fertile. 'Ughhhhh!' I groaned frustrated. I was so confused. I decided to confront him once at home; the time was so long. Finally, in the evening, I was home to wait for Damien to return; he was still at the hospital. In fact, he didn't even want me to work at the hospital now. I just went today to check something and then don't return again. He said that I wasn't ready yet.As I sat on the couch, waiting for Damien's return, my mind raced with conflicting thoughts and emotions. I couldn't shake the feeling of unease that gnawed at me from within.

"To prove your goodwill to me?"Lucas nodded, his expression earnest. "I promise," he said, his voice unwavering. "I'll do it tomorrow."A wave of relief washed over me, accompanied by a surge of gratitude towards Lucas. "Thank you," I whispered, my voice choked with emotion.He squeezed my hand gently, a reassuring smile playing on his lips. "And we'll return together to the pack," he added, his eyes sparkling with determination.I felt a glimmer of hope flicker within me, a beacon of light in the darkness of my doubts. "And I'll be honored to be the new father of your triplets," he said, his voice filled with sincerity.Warmth bloomed in my chest upon hearing those words. The truth was, Lucas was already their true father, though he did not know. In that moment I wanted to tell him the truth, but just then, a sudden interruption s

    86Lilian's POVThe next day, I was driven by Damien to work. The atmosphere in the car was tense, with an underlying current of unspoken tension. Damien's jaw was clenched, his knuckles white as he gripped the steering wheel tightly. I could sense his disapproval hanging heavy in the air.As we arrived at the gymnasium, I couldn't help but notice once again how small it was, and how urgently the renovation work at the hospital needed to progress. Damien pulled up to the curb, and I stepped out of the car, bracing myself for whatever lay ahead.Grace's face lit up with surprise and joy as she caught sight of me. "Lilian!" she exclaimed, hurrying over to greet me with a warm hug. "I'm so glad to see you back!"I returned her embrace, a fake smile tugging at the corners of my lips. "It's good to be back," I replied, my voice filled with sincerity. "I've missed my work."Just then, Lisa appeared, her expression brightening as she spotted me.

"You know how much I care about you."I took a step closer, my expression steely. "Actions speak louder than words, Lucas," I reminded him, my voice firm. "If you truly care about me, you'll do what's right."He stared at me for a long moment, the weight of my words sinking in. Finally, he nodded, a sense of resignation in his eyes. "Okay, I'll do it," he promised, his voice barely above a whisper. "I'll end things with her, just let me prepare her psychologically for the breakup and after that, I'm going to put an end to this relationship."I felt a surge of relief wash over me, but it was quickly replaced by a nagging sense of doubt. Could I trust him to follow through on his promise this time?

    88Lilian's POVMy heart raced as I watched the scene unfold before her. Lucas and Grace stood frozen, their expressions a mixture of shock and disbelief. Lisa Hackerman, the hospital's head nurse, was being arrested for the fire that had engulfed our hospital months ago."Lisa, what... what's going on?" Grace stammered, her voice trembling with fear."I... I don't know," Lisa replied, her eyes wide with panic. "I didn't do anything!"But the officers were relentless, their grip firm as they led Lisa away in handcuffs. The rest of the staff and patients looked on in stunned silence, murmurs of disbelief rippling through the crowd."What the hell is happening?" Lucas exclaimed, his voice tinged with disbelief.I could feel the tension in the air, thick and suffocating. My mind raced with questions, but there were no answers to be found. How could Lisa be responsible for the fire? And what did it mean for the hospital and everyone who worked here?As the officers disappeared with Lisa

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

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

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

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
