Marcus leaned back in his office chair, the phone pressed against his ear. He was quiet for a moment before finally speaking.“Lily called me last night,” he began, his tone calm but cold. “She said she was sick and needed me to come over immediately. I rushed to her house, of course, thinking something was seriously wrong. But when I got there, it was a lie. She said she just missed me and wanted to see me.”There was a pause on the other end of the line before Nicholas, his best friend, responded.“Wait, what? She faked being sick just to get you to come over?” Nicholas asked, his voice tinged with disbelief.“Exactly,” Marcus confirmed, his jaw tightening at the memory. “At first, I thought it was just some immature ploy for attention, but then… things got strange.”Nicholas was silent for a moment before replying, his tone laced with curiosity. “Strange how? What do you mean?”Marcus hesitated, recalling the unsettling sequence of events. “She tried to grab me. At one point, she e

Marcus turned his attention back to his laptop, trying to focus on the work in front of him, but he couldn’t shake the nagging feeling that something wasn’t right. Lily sat across from him, her smile unwavering, her demeanor as calm and innocent as ever. Despite his suspicions, her act was impeccable, and it left him questioning his instincts.“Are you sure you’re okay? You seemed really off yesterday,” Lily asked again, leaning slightly forward. Her voice was soft and tinged with concern, but Marcus couldn’t help but wonder if it was genuine.“I told you I’m fine,” he replied, his tone clipped. He adjusted his tie and focused on the numbers flashing on his laptop screen.“I’m sorry for lying to you about being sick,” Lily said after a moment of silence. “I just missed you so much. You’re always busy, and I just wanted some time with you.” Her voice cracked slightly, and Marcus glanced up to see her pouting, her eyes shimmering as if she might cry.Marcus sighed. He wasn’t sure if her

“You don’t look happy to see me,” Marcus said as he took a seat across from her, his eyes scanning her features with a quiet intensity.Lilian glanced at him before rolling her eyes. “Who would be happy to see their crazy ex?” she replied with a carefree shrug, sipping her coffee as though she were unaffected.Marcus raised an eyebrow at her nonchalant response. “Crazy?” he repeated, letting the word linger in the air between them.Lilian set her cup down, her eyes narrowing as she looked at him. “Yes, crazy. And if you’ve forgotten, we’re divorced now, so stop acting like we’re still tied to each other.” Her voice was firm but measured.He leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms as he observed her. “Oh, so now I’m crazy, huh?” he said, his voice cold with a hint of amusement. “What do you want, Lilian? You think we can’t talk like normal people?”Lilian met his gaze without flinching, her voice steady as she spoke. “If people see us together, they might think we’re involved, that

Lilian stepped through the door of the company building, the familiar, reassuring clink of her heels echoing in the otherwise quiet corridor. It had been another exhausting day, but nothing compared to the chaos she had experienced earlier. The weight of the morning’s events lingered in her mind as she made her way to her office, ready to tackle whatever else was thrown her way.Before she could even reach the door to her office, she saw him. Moses. His broad frame filled the doorway, his sharp eyes watching her every movement. He hadn’t been standing there long, but it felt as if he had been waiting for her all day.The moment she spotted him, Lilian raised an eyebrow in surprise. “You’re here?” she said with a smile, her voice light and slightly teasing. There was always something about Moses that made her feel safe, but she couldn’t help but playfully question his sudden appearance.Moses didn’t take long to respond. “I heard Marcus was at the coffee shop today,” he said, his voice

Lilian waved her hand repeatedly, her delicate fingers moving back and forth in a deliberate motion. She waited patiently until the receptionist finally snapped out of her trance.“You…” The receptionist’s voice faltered as her trembling hand pointed at Lilian. Her eyes were wide, brimming with disbelief, as if she had just seen a ghost.“What?” Lilian asked, breaking into a soft laugh. She tilted her head slightly, feigning confusion at the receptionist’s dramatic reaction. Deep down, though, she had anticipated this. After all, such a response was only natural.“You’re really siblings?” the receptionist asked, her voice rising with incredulity. She leaned forward, her gaze darting between Lilian and the elevator as though Moses himself might suddenly reappear to confirm this shocking revelation.Lilian nodded with a small smile, her lips curving just enough to tease. She raised a finger to her lips in a mock secret gesture and whispered, “Secret.”The receptionist blinked rapidly, n

Lily strolled through the opulent shopping mall, her heels clicking against the marble floors. Bright lights reflected off every polished surface, highlighting luxurious store displays adorned with gowns, jewelry, and accessories. The mall bustled with activity: shoppers chattering excitedly, clerks adjusting displays, and the faint hum of a distant piano playing a soft melody. For Lily, this was no ordinary day—this was wedding shopping, the day she’d anticipated ever since she had said “yes” to Marcus.Her two closest friends, Joy and Medusa, accompanied her, their arms laden with shopping bags from previous stops. Joy, ever lively and opinionated, seemed almost as thrilled as Lily herself. Medusa, on the other hand, was quieter, occasionally offering a hesitant smile or a murmured agreement.They arrived at a high-end jewelry store, its entrance marked by shimmering chandeliers and a red carpet runner that hinted at exclusivity. Lily’s eyes immediately scanned the dazzling array of

Medusa smiled politely at Lily, her demeanor calm and composed. “Thank you for your offer, but I don’t think there’s any need for that,” she said, her voice even, though there was a trace of unease behind her words.Lily’s expression hardened instantly. Her perfectly manicured nails drummed against the counter, and her jaw tightened as her eyes bore into Medusa. “Medusa!” she snapped, her tone sharp enough to cut through glass. “If you want to attend my wedding, you must get a new dress!” Her voice rose with each word, filled with the kind of authority she had perfected over years of getting her way.Medusa’s polite smile faltered as her brow furrowed. “Why does it matter so much?” she asked, her voice soft but tinged with frustration. She looked at Lily, her shoulders tensing as though bracing herself for the inevitable.Before Lily could launch into what would no doubt be a tirade, Joy interjected with a cheerful laugh that seemed almost out of place. “Of course, she’ll get a new dr

“Huh?” Medusa blinked her eyes innocently, tilting her head slightly as if she didn’t understand why Lily seemed so upset.“You picked a gown worth $550,000?” Lily’s voice was sharp with disbelief, her eyes narrowing as she stared at Medusa.Medusa smiled, not even flinching under Lily’s gaze. “It was the most beautiful and rare piece there,” she said with a touch of smugness. “I couldn’t resist.”Lily scoffed. “Can you afford to pay for it? Do you even have that kind of money in your account?” She crossed her arms, her voice thick with condescension.Before Medusa could respond, Joy quickly jumped in, trying to smooth over the situation. “I think the dresses here are all quite expensive, Lily,” she said, her tone calm and reassuring. “This is actually one of the more affordable options here.”Lily’s expression flickered, her posture stiffening before she forced a smile. “Oh, really?” she asked, her voice still laced with suspicion.Joy nodded, her smile unwavering. “Yes, you can even

“Damn,” Medusa gasped, her eyes wide as she stared at her phone screen.The room fell into silence as everyone turned to look at her.“What’s wrong?” Joy asked, her voice laced with concern.Medusa didn’t take her eyes off the phone. “A friend of mine just sent me some pictures, that’s all,” she replied, her voice calm, though a hint of tension lingered.Joy raised an eyebrow. “What pictures? Let me see them,” she said, stretching her hand out toward Medusa.Medusa hesitated for a moment before handing her phone over to Joy. Joy took it and immediately began scrolling through the images, her expression shifting from curiosity to something darker.Glory leaned in, trying to see the picture as well. She gasped quietly when she recognized what was on the screen, her gaze flickering to Lily.“When was this?” Joy asked, looking at Medusa to confirm that it wasn’t an old picture.Medusa shrugged casually. “She said she met them yesterday at a coffee shop,” she explained, her tone indifferen

Lily drove to Marcus’s office in a fury. Her hands gripped the steering wheel tightly, her knuckles turning white as frustration boiled inside her. She barely slowed down as she swerved into the parking lot, yanking the car into an uneven spot before slamming it into park. She didn’t care how haphazardly she’d parked—she had bigger things on her mind.She threw the door open, her heels clicking furiously on the pavement as she marched toward the office building. The heat of her anger seemed to radiate off her, drawing glances from passersby, but she was too focused to notice.Inside, Marcus’s assistant looked up from his desk with wide eyes as Lily strode toward him. The young man opened his mouth to speak, to stop her maybe, but something about her stormy expression froze him in place.“Ma’am, Mr. Marcus—” he stammered, but Lily ignored him completely.She pushed past his desk, her hand already on the door handle. Without so much as a knock, she shoved the door open and stepped insid
