Chapter 27Lilian POV It was a strangely weird and fairly old man and he started speaking but I couldn't hear him through the pane, He introduced himself but I didn't heard and he welcomed me to the district. However, his words were muffled by the window. So I rolled down the windows and came face to face with him .He had deep-set, piercing blue eyes that seemed to hold a wealth of untold stories. His face was weathered and lined with wrinkles, hinting at a lifetime filled with experiences. A thick, well-groomed white mustache adorned his upper lip, adding an air of wisdom and maturity to his countenance. Despite his age, there was a youthful spark in his eyes, revealing a curious and lively spirit within."What did you say? I couldn't hear you," I replied, a bit confused.He repeated his introduction, this time a bit louder. "I said, I'm Mr. Watson, and I wanted to welcome you to the district!"Meanwhile, my children continued to bicker in the backseat. Frustrated, I turned to the
28Saturday arrived, and I found myself busily preparing a sumptuous meal for our guest.As I set the table and rushed around the house, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and nerves.We have a special dinner with our neighbor Logan Parker, and I wanted to make it perfect. I couldn't help but feel a twinge of nervousness. I hoped to have enough time to dress up before our neighbor arrived, but before I knew it, the doorbell rang."Oh no! I'm not ready yet," I whispered to myself, feeling a wave of panic wash over me. Taking a deep breath, I hurried towards the front door, hoping it was just a delivery or something.As I opened the door, my heart skipped a beat. To my surprise, standing in front of me was Lucas. Memories of the time we spent together, and the warning I gave him before leaving, flooded my mind. I had told him not to follow me, to stay away from me."Lucas? What are you doing here?" I managed to muster, my voice filled with shock and disbelief.Lucas smiled b
29Lilian POVI couldn't sleep a wink, consumed by thoughts of how Lucas's presence in my life would ruin everything. I knew I needed to get my triplets, Lana, Landon, and Liam, ready for school, so I gathered them into the car. They were full of energy, as usual, and I had to work hard to calm them down.I stood by the front door, my face filled with a mixture of concern and determination. "Alright, guys, buckle up and remember to behave in school today," I reminded my three children, Lana, Landon, and Liam."Mommy, can we stop by the park after school?" Lana asked, her eyes sparkling with excitement.Landon chimed in, his voice filled with enthusiasm, "Yeah, and can we get ice cream too?"Liam joined in with a cheerful shout, "Ice cream and the park, yay!"I forced a smile on my face, attempting to conceal my restless thoughts. I glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, realizing that there was still some time left before we needed to leave. Annoyed by the idea of Lucas, lingerin
Chapter 30:Lilian POVAs I sat at the table with Damien and Lucas, my unease grew stronger. Lucas kept trying to make eye contact with me, winking whenever he had the chance. It made me incredibly uncomfortable, and I couldn't understand why he was behaving like that. Damien, oblivious to my discomfort, asked Lucas to place his order. "Logan, my friend, why don't you go ahead and tell the waiter what you'd like?" Lucas smiled and replied, "Thank you, Damien. I'll have the steak, cooked medium-rare, please." Damien nodded approvingly and turned his attention to the wine list. "To celebrate your hiring, Logan, I think we should have something special. How about that expensive bottle of wine? It's a perfect choice for tonight." Lucas, showing reasonable judgment, declined the offer. "Thank you, Damien, but I think I'll pass. I want to be in good shape for my first day of work tomorrow. It's important to start with a clear mind and full energy." Surprised by the quick start, I spoke
Chapter 31It had been a few days since Lucas had arrived at the hospital, and already he had the attention of many girls , he had a magnetic effect on them. As I parked my car in front of the hospital, I couldn't help but notice Lucas chatting with my colleague, Jenny, and several nurses around him. They were laughing and flirting with him , completely engrossed in his charismatic presence."Logan, you always know how to make us laugh!" Jenny exclaimed with a smile.Lily nodded in agreement. "Yeah, he's such a charmer!"Sarah said with eyes full of love," and those dimples they are to die for." Lucas blushed, his dimples becoming more prominent. "Aw, you ladies are too kind," he responded, his grin infectious. "Just trying to brighten up everyone's day.""Remember that time when Logan dressed up as a clown for the children's ward?" Sarah reminisced, a twinkle in her eyes.Jenny chuckled. "Oh, how could I forget? The smiles on those kids' faces were priceless!"Lucas joined in their
Chapter 32:Two days later,As I opened the door to my office, my eyes widened in surprise as I spotted Lucas leisurely sitting inside, his legs crossed and casually sprawled across the table. "Yaaah!" I let out a small yelp of surprise, not expecting to find him there. A mischievous smile tugged at his lips as he noticed my startled reaction."Well, well, well," Lucas said, his voice dripping with amusement. "Did I scare you, love?"Ignoring his taunting remark, I composed myself, furrowing my brows and adopting a stern tone. "Lucas, what on earth are you doing here? I don't have time for your games. Leave now."But Lucas seemed unfazed by my command, slowly standing up from his comfortable position. He sauntered towards me, closing the distance with an arrogant swagger. A smirk played on his handsome face, raising my irritation even more."Now, now," he drawled, a glimmer of mischief in his eyes. "What's the rush, darling? I just wanted to have a little chat."I crossed my arms and
Chapitre 33:I groggily opened my eyes and was greeted by the sight of a stark white room. The air was thick with the smell of antiseptic, I was in a fucking hospital . As I attempted to sit up, a sharp pain shot through my head, making my thoughts feel hazy and my vision blur.As I took a moment to collect my thoughts, my gaze swept across the room and landed on Damien, my loving fiancé. His head was bowed, deep in thought, but when he lifted his eyes and saw me, a radiant smile of relief illuminated his face."Oh, thank God you're awake," Damien whispered, rushing towards me. His voice was filled with a mix of anxiety and elation.Confusion flooded my mind, leaving me disoriented as I tried to make sense of my surroundings. I glanced over at Damien, panic beginning to well up inside me, and asked, "Damien, why am I lying on this bed? I thought I was supposed to be the doctor." "Don't worry," he said soothingly. We need to make sure you're okay. Just lie still and stay calm.""But I
Chapter 34:I was bewildered and couldn't believe it. How could someone be so mean to do such a thing to me. Landon broke the silence, his voice laced with concern, "Mommy, does that mean someone tried to hurt you?"Lana's face contorted with worry, her petite hand gripping mine tightly. "Don't worry, Mommy. We won't let anyone hurt you," she reassured me with determination beyond her tender age.Trying to stay composed for their sake, I managed a weak smile. "Thank you, my brave little superheroes. Mommy's safe because she has you."Damien's eyes burned with anger, mixed with a protective instinct. "We'll get to the bottom of this," he vowed, his tone leaving no room for doubt.Damien turned to the mechanics and expressed his gratitude for their help. Lucas, who had listened intently but remained quiet, finally spoke up. His voice held a hint of concern as he suggested, "Perhaps we should inform the police about what happened. It might be the safest course of action." His brow fur
