Chapter 56

Richard's Pov

I've seen many expressions on Lily’s face over time—happiness, curiosity, even anger—but the look in her eyes tonight was different. It was a sharp mix of confusion and pain, the kind that hits you in the chest. All because of something Samantha said.

Why would Samantha say something like that in the middle of an important business gala, of all places? What was she trying to achieve—humiliate me? Hurt Lily? Both?

“Please, Lily... Can we talk about this later?” I asked, hoping to calm the storm before it started.

She smiled softly and nodded. “Alright, Richard.” But her eyes were locked on Samantha with the kind of quiet strength that unsettled me.

I let out a breath I didn’t even realize I was holding. Relief washed over me, but it didn’t last long. I turned to face Samantha with nothing but pure disgust in my eyes.

“Listen to me, Samantha,” I said through clenched teeth. “I don’t know what game you think you’re playing, but don’t ever cross that line again.”

  • Abandoned by my ex, I accept his boss proposal    The Lingering Doubt

    Chapter 63 Lily’s PovLost in my thoughts, I stared blankly at the screen in front of me. The spreadsheet was open, but I hadn't touched it in the last fifteen minutes. My fingers hovered over the keyboard, motionless. I could hear faint voices from down the hallway, muffled by the thick office walls. Whether it was the sound of footsteps or passing chatter, everything felt distant. Fuzzy. Like I was watching the day go by from behind a foggy glass.A soft knock on the door pulled me back to the present.“Yes?” I said quickly, straightening up in my chair and adjusting my blazer. My voice cracked slightly, so I cleared my throat.The door creaked open.“Good afternoon, ma’am,” Sandra said, stepping in with a gentle smile. She held a thin folder against her chest. “There’s a document that needs your attention before it can go out for delivery.”“Alright, Sandra. I’ll go through it later,” I replied, forcing a calm tone.“Okay, ma’am.” She walked over and set the folder neatly on the c

    Chapter 62 Samantha's PovThum!Thum!!Thum!!!That was the sound of my heart as I paced around my living room, each beat louder than the last, echoing against the silence like drums of war. My bare feet made soft pats against the cold marble tiles, but I didn’t notice. I couldn’t feel anything—only the boiling rage and confusion that twisted in my chest like a storm without warning.“This wasn’t how it was supposed to end…” I whispered to myself, stopping in the middle of the room, wrapping my arms around my body like it would hold me together. “No. No, no, no. This can’t go on.”I shook my head violently, strands of my dark hair falling into my eyes, but I didn’t care. I could still see him—his face. Richard. His smile. His touch. The way he used to look at me like I was his whole world. I used to be his world.So how the hell did I end up here?“How dare he?” I muttered under my breath. “How dare he try to replace me?”I started pacing again, the anger returning like a wave crashi

  • Abandoned by my ex, I accept his boss proposal    The Gossip

    Chapter 62Lily's Pov Not knowing what to expect from this unknown caller, I contemplated if I should answer or not. My thumb hovered over the screen as the phone buzzed violently in my hand. I let it ring until it eventually stopped. Relief was short-lived when it started buzzing again. Whoever it was clearly wasn't giving up.With a sigh, I pressed the answer button and lifted it slowly to my ear.There was silence. Long, eerie silence.“Hello?” I finally said, voice cautious. “Who is this?”“Lily... I need to talk to you. I have been tmto your house countless times now and i was told you had moved out. Where exactly are you?”My heart stopped for a second. I pulled the phone from my ear to check the time—4:30 AM.“Mark? Why the heck are you calling me at this hour? And why are you using an unknown number?”“That doesn’t really matter, Lily besides, you haven't been taking any of my calls lately. Look, I’m sorry I messed up. I can’t concentrate, I can’t sleep, I can’t think. I need

  • Abandoned by my ex, I accept his boss proposal    The mysterious Driver

    Chapter 61Lily's povSo far, so good. That’s honestly how life has felt these past four weeks.Since moving in with Richard, every day has been peaceful and sweet. We’ve built our own quiet rhythm—early morning breakfasts in the sunroom, quiet walks around the estate, and evenings filled with wine, soft jazz, and warm laughter. Sometimes, I still catch myself wondering if I’m dreaming. How did I get so lucky?He’s gentle. Attentive. He listens—even when I’m rambling. And he never once made me feel out of place, even when we attend those high-profile dinners or company meetings. Sandra’s usually with us during the work events, giving me knowing looks every time Richard sneaks in a soft touch on my lower back or holds my hand under the table. I’ve grown used to the cameras, the polite nods from strangers, the weight of his world.But beneath all the calm… something’s off.It started four weeks ago. One of the security guards reported seeing a suspicious black car parked just outside the

    Chapter 60Lily's PovWe arrived back in the state around 7 p.m., exhausted but filled with beautiful memories. Richard’s driver was already waiting for us at the airport with his sleek black Porsche. The moment we stepped into the car, the comfort of familiarity wrapped around me like a warm blanket.When we got to Richard’s house, it was like stepping into a warm embrace. The domestic staff welcomed us like we were family. Smiles lit up their faces as they took our bags, asked about our trip, and offered to make dinner.“You’re really good with all your staff, both at home and at the company,” I said as we walked into the living room. “I’m impressed.”Richard smiled, the kind that softened his otherwise serious face. “What can I say? They’re humans just like me. I’ll never forget what my parents always told me before they passed.” He paused for a moment, staring into the air as if he could still hear their voices. Then he said, gently, “They would say, ‘Richard, though we are privil

    Chapter 59Richard's Pov I quickly sat up in bed, my heart racing.“You mean to tell me that Mark—my employee—is your ex?” I asked, my voice louder than I intended.Lily sat still, her hands folded in her lap. She slowly shook her head in response.I stared at her, stunned. “Come on, Lily. Why didn’t you say something about this all this while?”The room felt tight, like the walls were closing in on us. I could feel my anger rising, but I didn’t even know where to direct it—at her, at Mark, or at myself for not seeing any signs. I couldn’t answer that question.She took a deep breath. “Look, Chard… I’m sorry. I should have told you from the start. Yes, I knew Mark was working for you before I accepted your job offer. But I didn’t think we’d get… this close. And no, I wasn’t with you to get back at him.”I didn’t interrupt her. I could see the sincerity in her eyes.“I wanted the job because I needed to prove something to myself. Mark made me feel like I wasn’t good enough. I wanted t
