42Damien reached out to touch my arm gently, his voice laced with concern. "Are you alright, sweetheart? I can tell this is bothering you. Maybe we should talk about it?"I let out a deep sigh, simply unable to hide my frustration any longer. "Damien," I said, exasperation lacing my voice, "it's just so humiliating. I can't stand the thought of everyone knowing that I tripped and fell like a complete fool. Especially not Logan. He always acts so perfect and invincible." The anger and embarrassment mixed within me, causing my voice to shake.Damien's eyes softened as he pulled me closer, enveloping me in a comforting embrace. "I understand, my love," he whispered soothingly. "But you know what? The most important thing is that we are both well. It was just a stumble, and nothing more. You're strong, and this won't define you."His words offered a sliver of solace amidst my frustration. I looked up at Damien, grateful for his unwavering support. "You really believe that, don't you?"He

43"What happened?" I asked, my concern evident in my voice.Taking a deep breath, Lucas responded with a slight tremor in his voice, "Grace just had an accident."Instantly, my heart raced with worry. Without wasting a second, Lucas dashed out of my office, beckoning me to follow. As we hurriedly made our way outside the hospital, I handed him the keys to my car, offering it as a means to quickly reach the site of the accident. In a matter of minutes, we arrived to find Grace safe but visibly shaken, standing by her car."What happened, Grace?" I asked, my voice gentle yet filled with concern.Grace took a moment to compose herself before recounting the events. "I was on my way to retrieve the results of an examination from the hospital when I lost control of the car. It slid into the wall, causing the accident."Relieved that she was unharmed, I reached out to comfort her. "Thank goodness you're alright, Grace. That must have been such a scary experience."She nodded and gave a small

44Lilian POVThe next day, I found myself driving my children, Lana, Landon, and Liam, to school. The unease from the other day's car incident lingered in the back of my mind. Glancing at the rearview mirror, I searched for any signs of suspicious activity, but everything appeared normal. However, my instincts were adamant that Grace had something to do with the attempt on my life. This time, I was certain it was her.Once I arrived at work, I immediately began attending to my first patient, a young woman named Emily. She had long, flowing brown hair and a warm smile that brightened the room. Despite my concerns about Grace, I pushed those thoughts aside and focused on providing Emily with the care she deserved."Good morning, Emily," I greeted her, trying to maintain an air of professionalism."Morning, Dr. Grey," she replied, her voice filled with a hint of nervousness.As I examined her, we engaged in conversation, discussing her symptoms and concerns. I carefully listened, taking

45At that moment, I was convinced in my heart that Grace was the one who had plotted to kill me, and I was determined to prove it. Despite continuing with my consultations, I couldn't wait to confront Grace and unravel the truth between us.But before that, I knew I had to speak with Lucas. During my break, I rushed to his office, determined to catch him before he left for lunch. I arrived at his door and swiftly entered without even knocking, not bothering to close the door behind me. After all, I didn't plan on spending much time in his office anyway.Lucas' office was cluttered, filled with computers and stacks of papers. It was a typical information-filled workplace. I found Lucas, or rather Logan, standing, keys in hand, seemingly ready to leave. Thankfully, I had made it in time, arriving swiftly. He was dressed in a blue and gold t-shirt, paired with a distinctive pair of pants.As soon as he noticed me, his expression changed. The familiar arrogant smile that I detested so mu

46Lilian POV"Yeah, it'll be fun!" Grace chimed in, her arm still linked with Lucas'. "We could all hang out and talk a little about us."I pondered their proposal for a moment, feeling torn between accepting and declining. On one hand, I wanted to escape this awkward situation, but on the other hand, this could be an opportunity to clear the air with Grace.but I felt compelled to accept, not wanting to raise any suspicions. With a hesitant smile, I finally responded, "Sure, why not? I could use a break."We made our way out of the hospital and we stepped into the warm sunshine, Grace let out a big sigh," I'm relieved to be free of the hospital sterile walls and clinical atmosphere, sometimes it sucks." Lucas nodded in agreement, his grip on Grace's hand tightening slightly. "I know what you mean. It's refreshing to be outside and just relax for a bit."Lucas nodded in agreement, his grip on Grace's hand tightening slightly. "I know what you mean," he said, glancing across the stre

47Lilian POVBefore either of us could respond, a shrill ring cut through the tension, breaking the spell that had enveloped us. Lucas let out a discreet sigh of relief, reaching for his phone in his pocket. As he answered the call, he put it on speaker, allowing the conversation to fill the room.It was the mechanic, his voice filled with concern. "Mr. Parker, I need to tell you something," he began, his words carrying a sense of urgency. "Someone deliberately tampered with the brakes of Miss Grace Moorens's car. It was an intentional act to cause an accident."A collective gasp echoed through the room, disbelief etched on our faces. Grace's eyes widened in shock, her hand instinctively reaching for her chest. "Oh my God," she whispered, her voice trembling. "Who would do something like that?"Lucas thanked the mechanic, his voice laced with gratitude, before ending the call. But Grace wasted no time in seeking answers. "Why did my mechanic call you instead of me, Logan?" she asked,

Lilian POV "Logan!! This isn't some cheesy movie plot," I shouted, my frustration evident. "You're risking not only your safety but also jeopardizing the entire investigation."Lucas grinned, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "I know it sounds crazy," he replied, "but think about it. We need a way in, a way to discover the truth. And this is it. Trust me, I can handle it."I sighed, realizing that Lucas's fondness for women was the reason he had come up with this idea. "I knew it would come to this, Logan," I said with a hint of reproach. "You always seem to get into these situations because of your infatuation with women."He smirked in response. "Well, it's better to love women than men, isn't it?" he teased, earning a furious look from Grace.Grace frowned, folding her arms across her chest. "That's not the point, Logan, and you know it," she replied, her voice laced with frustration.Grace was adamant that it was out of the question. She said that she believed we should just kee

49Lilian POV"No! No and no!" I quickly answered.Damien looked at me skeptically, his brow furrowed. "Are you sure?" he asked cautiously.I immediately answered, the words rushing out of my mouth. "There is no way Damien! She might have interpreted some banal gesture," I insisted, my voice desperate.He put down his fork and leaned back in his chair, his eyes searching mine. "On top of all, everyone knows that I'm the boss's wife. How can Logan can court me?" I rambled, hoping to reassure him.Damien remained silent for a moment, seemingly lost in his thoughts. His suspicions crept into the conversation, and my frustration began to bubble. "It is precisely because Logan is above suspicion that he might try to pick you up," Damien finally said, his tone serious.I couldn't contain my anger any longer. "Dog gonit! Why are you so suspicious?" I snapped, my frustration evident.Did he know the truth that Lucas and I kissed each other? The thought settled uncomfortably in my mind, stokin

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
