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

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

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 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

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.

"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

With a pounding heart, I picked up the photo, my eyes darting around the empty office, searching for any signs of who could have left it there but there was no soul. The silence was deafening, amplifying the fear that coursed through me. Something inside me told me to turn the picture and as I turned it over, my fears intensified as I read the chilling message scrawled on the back: "You'll not get out of it next time, idiot."A sense of terror washed over me, and I immediately reached for my phone, dialing Lucas's number with shaking hands.

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
