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: Mark's sudden visitation Chapter 14“Mark, what are you doing here by this hour?” My voice was tight with frustration, but before I could get another word out, he pushed the door open without waiting for an invitation and stepped inside. My breath caught in my throat.“Lilly, what is going on between you and Mr. Richard?” he demanded, his voice slurring just slightly. I could feel the anger brewing beneath his words, but there was something else too—jealousy? Concern? It was hard to tell through the haze of alcohol on his breath.I crossed my arms defensively, trying to process the situation. The last thing I needed tonight was to deal with Mark and his volatile mood swings. “Mark, have you been drinking?” I asked, my voice steady but filled with concern.He didn’t answer right away. Instead, he staggered further into the room, eyes narrowing as he glared at me, his posture erratic. “That doesn’t answer my question, Lilly,” he yelled.I felt the tension in the room rising, thickening like smoke. My mind raced

Chapter: The Unexpected ChemistryChapter 13 Lilly's pov By the time dinner was over, it was nearly 9 p.m., and Richard offered to drive me home. I didn’t want to admit it, but I was grateful for the company. The evening had been filled with so much unexpected warmth and ease, and I wasn’t ready for it to end just yet. I wasn’t ready to say goodbye.As we stood by his car, I turned to him, my thoughts swirling like a whirlwind. “Thank you for dinner,” I said, my voice soft.Richard nodded, his smile lingering, but there was something else in his eyes now—a quiet intensity that made my heart flutter. It was like I could see a different side of him, one that wasn’t about business or authority. “It was my pleasure, Lily,” he said, his tone unexpectedly tender. “And remember, I’ll be here when you’re ready.”Before I could gather my thoughts, the driver opened the door for us. I climbed into the car, and Richard followed, settling next to me. As we began the drive to my house, the silence in the car was thick with unspo

Chapter: The ResponseChapter 13Lily's povI almost choked on my drink. What did he just say? Am I dreaming, or is this for real? I stared at him, completely frozen, unable to say a single word. My heart was racing, and my thoughts were in a frenzy. Did he really just say that? I kept blinking, hoping that the shock would wear off, but it didn’t. I was still sitting there, staring at him like a deer caught in headlights."Are you okay?" Richard asked, his voice laced with concern. His eyes softened as he looked at me, and for a moment, all I could focus on were those eyes. They were different now, less polished, more vulnerable. I could see the sincerity in them, and it caught me off guard.I quickly nodded, trying to regain my composure. "Yeah… Yeah, I’m good. You just took me by surprise. I wasn’t expecting this. I thought this was supposed to be a business dinner, sir."I watched as Richard’s lips curved into a small smile, but there was a certain intensity behind it. He wasn’t just smiling; he was ser

Chapter: The Proposal Chapter 12“Not like that, Mia. It’s a business dinner,” I said, though the words didn’t feel as convincing as they should have.She raised her eyebrows. “Business dinner, huh? Then why do I feel like something else is going on? Just be yourself, Lilly. You’ve got this.”I smiled, feeling a little more confident with her support. “Thanks, Mia. You’re right. I just don’t want to mess this up.”When the doorbell rang at exactly 7 pm, I nearly jumped out of my skin. I was ready—nervous but ready. I looked at Mia who encouragely smiled at me . “You have got this Lilly. Don't think of anything or anyone else tonight . Just enjoy yourself “ she said as she gave me a hug.”“Thank you Mia. What would I have done without you in my life?”“Absolutely nothing. She said with a smile. Now run along. You don't wanna keep Mr charming waiting,’ She teased As I opened the door, the driver greeted me with a polite smile.“Good evening, Miss Lilly. Mr. Lyle is expecting you,” he said.I nodded, stepp

Chapter: The Dinner DateChapter 11I haven't set my eyes on Mark since our last encounter almost a month ago. I have been extremely busy with Mr. Richard, working on a particular project that needed our attention. The project, thankfully, will be ending today, being Friday. I haven't even had time to meet up with Mia. I was so engrossed in my work that I didn’t even notice it was time for lunch.“Lilly, I’m stepping out for lunch. Why don’t you come along with me?” Mr. Richard said.“Umm, I think I’ll pass, sir. I need to finish up with this project before 4 pm, sir. Remember, they are going out for delivery today,” I replied, trying to keep my focus on the work in front of me.“Alright, Lilly. I’ll leave you to it,” he said before walking out of the office.An hour passed, and I was still in Mr. Richard’s office, working on the final touches of the project. I was at the last stage when he walked back in, his footsteps light but deliberate.“This is absolutely brilliant, Lilly,” he said, his voice warm and

Chapter: The EncounterChapter 9Lily's povI knew that voice even without looking. The arrogance, the self-righteousness, the all-too-familiar tone—it could only be him. Mark.I stopped in my tracks, a wave of irritation and dread settling in my chest. Why now? I thought. Why did he have to appear here, of all places?Turning to face him as he approached, I folded my arms across my chest, trying to shield myself from the storm of emotions his presence always seemed to stir."What do you want, Mark?" I asked, my voice clipped, not a hint of affection in it.He stopped a few feet away, his gaze intense, though I could see the edge of frustration in his eyes. “I see you took the offer even after I told you not to,” he said, his tone accusing. “Are you trying to get me fired because I broke up with you?”The nerve. The audacity.I couldn’t help but laugh—half in disbelief, half in contempt. “Get you fired?” I repeated, raising an eyebrow. “What for, Mark? Not everything revolves around you, you know.” I shook
