Chapter 81

Lily's pov

It’s Monday morning, and I woke up to an empty bed once again. I should have felt used to it by now, but I didn’t. I stood up slowly, the weight of the weekend still pressing down on me. The sun was just beginning to creep through the curtains, but even that didn’t bring me the usual peace. Instead, it only reminded me of the battle that awaited me outside this room. The world outside had become so much harsher in just the span of one day.

I wasn’t feeling up to the task of going to the office today. Not after the public embarrassment I’d suffered yesterday. No one had warned me that the simple act of being with Richard—being in love with him—would turn me into a spectacle for the world to watch, dissect, and criticize. I had always imagined the worst scenarios, but the reality had surpassed even my most dramatic fears.

I could still hear the laughter, the sneering comments, the flashes of cameras from yesterday. The entire day had felt like I was under a microsc

    Chapter 92Richard's PovII couldn’t believe my eyes when I walked into the conference room at my company. It was supposed to be an ordinary day—another day of tackling business issues, managing crises, and dealing with the endless pressure that came with being the chairman of a multi-million-dollar empire. But nothing could have prepared me for the sight that awaited me.It had all started a few hours ago. My personal assistant, Sandra, had forwarded an alarming email to me, warning that several of my clients from Lyle’s empire had been reaching out, expressing concerns about the direction my companies were heading in. Some had even threatened to withdraw their partnerships unless immediate action was taken to remedy the situation caused by Frank after he went live.—a scandal that had reverberated throughout the entire organization, including Lyle's empire.The ripple effects were now threatening to undo years of hard work.I had one thing in mind when I walked into the office today

    Chapter 91Lily's Pov“Good morning, everyone,” I said, my voice steady, though my heart was pounding in my chest. I could feel the weight of their eyes on me, the weight of expectations, but I couldn’t let it show. I had a role to play, and I wasn’t about to falter now. “I know we’re all facing challenges right now, but we have a duty to protect the company and Richard’s reputation. Today, we will discuss how we move forward.”I paused, letting my words settle in the room. The faces around the table reflected a variety of emotions—uncertainty, frustration, a mix of anger and confusion. But there was something else, too. Something that told me, despite the tension, they were ready to listen. They were ready to work together.This wasn’t just Richard’s fight anymore. It was all of ours.“We need to act fast,” I continued, my voice gaining strength as the silence grew heavier. “The situation outside is dire, and we need a clear strategy to regain control. I don’t care what anyone says a

    Chapter 88Lily's PovI tried as hard as I could, but I couldn’t shake off the feeling that Mark was somehow involved in all of this. I didn’t want to believe it, but the thought kept creeping back into my mind. Yes, there was truth in what Richard had said about Mark not having the guts to pull off something this big. Especially with Frank going live on TV like that. If Frank were the mastermind behind this entire operation, why would he go so far as to ask Richard to end our relationship?It didn’t make sense. None of it did.My mind was clouded with questions as I made my way to the office. The drive felt longer than usual, my thoughts swirling in a whirlwind of possibilities. What could Mark have to gain from all this? Why had he been so adamant about forcing Richard and me apart? And if Frank was behind all this, what did he want, really? Was it just the stolen materials, or was it something bigger? The questions piled up, and the more I thought about it, the more unsettled I fel

    Chapter 87Richard's Pov There was a long pause on the other end of the line. I could almost hear my attorney’s thoughts as he weighed his response, his words carefully measured. Finally, he spoke.“It’s… it’s complicated, Richard. Mr. Frank’s accusations are damaging, but I don’t think he’s acting alone. This whole thing feels orchestrated—like someone behind the scenes is pulling the strings.”I ran a hand through my hair, my mind spinning with possibilities. This was it. The moment I had been dreading. It wasn’t just about stolen materials. This was about power, manipulation, and someone playing a dangerous game. Someone who wasn’t afraid to go to extreme lengths to bring me down.“Someone bigger than Frank?” I asked, my voice quiet, tinged with the suspicion that had been building up in me for weeks now.“Much bigger,” my attorney confirmed. “I’ve got a few people digging into it, but we need to be careful. Whoever’s behind this is playing a dangerous game.”My heart sank. I had
