Abandoned by my ex, I accept his boss proposal
Lily, a vibrant 25-year-old woman, has spent years building a life with her charming but emotionally distant boyfriend, Mark. When Mark unexpectedly ends their relationship, revealing he has been seeing someone else, Lily is left heartbroken and betrayed. Reeling from the emotional devastation, Lily decides to focus on her career and personal growth, hoping to heal from the wounds of her past.
In a twist of fate, Lily’s career path leads her to Richard, the powerful and charismatic CEO of the company where Mark works. Unlike Mark, Richard is everything Lily needs—intelligent, kind, and supportive. When Richard offers Lily a position to work closely with him, their professional relationship evolves into something much more personal. Drawn to his strength and empathy, Lily slowly begins to open her heart to the possibility of love again.
But Mark, unable to let go of the woman he once controlled, becomes consumed by jealousy when he sees Lily with Richard. Determined to win her back, Mark’s obsession quickly turns dangerous. When Lily rejects his attempts to rekindle their toxic relationship, Mark's need for control spirals into violent rage. As his jealousy deepens, Mark’s once-charming demeanor morphs into something far darker—he becomes a villain determined to destroy everything Lily has built with Richard.
As if Mark’s growing obsession weren’t enough, another threat arises from Richard’s past. Samantha, Richard’s vengeful ex-wife, resurfaces, determined to sabotage Richard’s happiness and reclaim the life she lost.
Caught between the malevolent forces of both Mark and Samantha, Lily’s life becomes a battle for survival, love, and self-worth. With Mark’s dangerous obsession escalating and Samantha’s manipulative tactics threatening her career and reputation,

Chapter: Fighting The Temptation Chapter 71Richard's Pov I never thought Samantha still had so much effect on me until she said those words. Her voice, soft yet filled with a desperate hunger, pierced right through the calm I had worked so hard to build around myself. I felt the connection — the old spark, the pull, the raw lust — but I’m not stupid or weak enough to betray Lily like this. Sam is my past. She should remain there, buried in memories I’ve long tried to forget.“What did you just say?” I asked, needing to be sure I heard her correctly. It sounded almost surreal.She bit her lip nervously, her eyes flickering between hope and fear. “Richard... please. Make love to me. I need to feel your touch. I need you, Richie,” she said shamelessly, like the past was alive again, right there between us.I stood up from the chair, creating distance between us. The room suddenly felt smaller, suffocating. How could she be so bold? Did she think I would betray Lily — the woman who had given me her trust, her love? I s

Chapter: Love or LustChapter 70Richard's Pov My phone rang late that evening. A number I didn’t recognize flashed across the screen. I thought about ignoring it, but something inside me said “pick it up.”“Hello?” I said cautiously.“Richard, please… I need to talk to you. Please don’t say no to me,” came the voice—shaky, tearful, and unmistakably hers.“Samantha?” I asked, heart tightening in my chest before I could stop it.“Richard, I’m sorry, but I need someone to talk to. I’m losing my mind. I know I’m the last person you want to hear from, but you and I… we’ve been through a lot. You’re the only one I can talk to right now.”I sat up straight. My heart was torn in two. Part of me wanted to hang up. The other part—the part that remembered how we used to laugh till our stomachs hurt—was deeply concerned.“Where are you?” I asked after a moment. “Send me your noaddress. I’ll be there soon.”The moment she opened the door, I was hit by a storm of emotion. Her eyes were red and puffy, her face pale, ha

Chapter: Is Richard Guilty Chapter 69Lily's PovAs much as I wanted to dismiss the message I got from Mark about Richard not being who I thought he was… I just couldn’t. Every time I closed my eyes, Mark’s words replayed in my head like a broken record. “He’s not who you think he is, Lily. He had everything to do with my resignation.”But that couldn’t be true, right?I tried to brush it off, clinging tightly to the belief that Richard was different—honest, kind, the man I trusted with my heart. Still, something deep within me stirred with doubt. That night, he left work before me. He didn’t even wait like he usually did. “I’ve got a business thing to handle,” he had said. So casually. So quickly.But what business?And more importantly, with who?I got home before him, something that rarely happened. The mansion felt empty in a way that chilled me. I sat on the edge of the couch, staring blankly at my phone, rereading Mark’s message. It wasn’t just the words that bothered me—it was the timing. Why now? What d

Chapter: Mark's Sudden Decision Chapter 68Lily's Pov“What’s wrong, Richard?” I asked, watching as he sat on the edge of the bed beside me, his shoulders tense and his eyes distant.He ran a hand through his hair and sighed. “I got a call from one of the executives. Mark tendered his resignation letter today.”“He resigned?” The words escaped me sharper than I meant, and my reaction must have shown on my face because Richard gave me a long, unreadable look.“Yes. So I was told,” he said, his voice low, almost flat.“But why would he do that?” I asked, still struggling to process it. “He’s been working with you for over three years. He was committed. Why would he suddenly resign?”Richard shrugged. “It is a shame, though. He was dedicated to his work. But if you ask me…” He paused, looking straight ahead. “I guess he couldn’t stand the fact that he lost you.”I shifted uncomfortably under the blanket. Mark and I had a past, yes—but that was all it was: the past.“You know,” Richard continued, “he was one of my most

Chapter: Fighting BackChapter 67Lily's PovIt has been over two weeks since I had that intense conversation with Richard about the nasty rumors flying around — the whispers that I slept my way to a promotion. At first, it felt like the gossip might never end, like it had latched onto my name like a shadow. But strangely, it began to quiet down. Fewer side glances in the hallway, fewer fake smiles. Maybe people got bored, or maybe they realized I wasn’t going to break.I followed Richard’s advice: act like the gossip never existed. Smile, work hard, show up stronger every day. It wasn’t always easy, but it worked. Most days.Mia and I hadn’t seen each other in a while either. Life got busy — her fashion career was booming and I was constantly caught between reports, team reviews, and high-profile audits. We kept in touch over the phone though, and I had cleared my weekend just to catch up with her. She was my safe space — one of the few people who knew me before all of this... before him.Today felt differ

Chapter: The Mistake I Wish I Never MadeChapter 66.Mark's PovIt was a deep torture for me, seeing Lily throughout the week at work. Every single day felt like dragging my soul through glass. I told myself I’d be fine — that it didn’t matter. I thought that as long as we weren’t in the same department, I could handle it. But I lied to myself. I grossly underestimated what it meant to watch the woman I once had — the woman I lost — living happily without me. It started small. A glance in the hallway. A brush past each other near the elevator. Then came the full-blown sightings — her laughter echoing through the cafeteria, her soft voice floating into conference rooms, her presence filling any space she walked into. Lily had always been beautiful, but now she was something else entirely. She glowed.I have tried countless times to get her back into my life but she was done. Done with me she would always say to me. And lately, she wasn’t alone.Richard was always nearby. His hand resting on the small of her back, the way he
