Chapter 23Lilian POV:I stood frozen for a moment, the exhaustion and unease intertwining within me. The fact that he was sitting uninvited in my room only heightened my apprehension."What do you mean we need to talk?" I asked cautiously, trying to mask my vulnerability. "It's late, and I've had a long day. Can't this wait?"Lucas let out a low chuckle, He met my gaze with an intensity that sent a shiver down my spine . "No, it can't wait," he replied, his voice laced with a mix of determination and secrecy. "There are things you need to know, things that can't be ignored any longer. We need to address things now."I crossed my arms, feeling a mixture of anger and frustration. "Address what exactly? And how did you even get into my room?" He took a deep breath, his eyes searching for the right words. "I found your spare keys, tucked away in that drawer by the entrance. I never intended to invade your privacy, believe me." I stared at him, stunned by his confession. "So you just

There's a policeman here to see you." He said .My eyes widened in shock and anger. How dare he let someone into our private space without even asking me first? I furrowed my brows and sat up in bed, glaring at Damien."What?! Damien, how could you? You should've at least consulted me before inviting a stranger into our room!" I snapped.Damien's face softened, and he held his hands up in a pleading gesture."Lilian, I'm sorry. I couldn't do anything. The police needed to be informed about your return. I couldn't keep it a secret." He defended himself.My anger slowly ebbed away as I saw the worry and regret etched on Damien's face. I let out a deep sigh, feeling a mix of frustration and understanding."Fine, I forgive you, but next time, please remember to ask me first." I said.With a relieved smile, Damien nod

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

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.

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

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
