Chapter 50

Lily's Pov

““What is wrong with you, Mark?” I asked angrily the moment I managed to pull myself free from his grip.

He looked at me like I had just insulted his entire existence. “Don’t pretend you didn’t enjoy this, Lily. What do you see in Richard that makes you keep pushing me away? Huh? Does he kiss better than I do? Talk to me!” His voice cracked with a mix of jealousy and frustration. “What do you want me to do for you to see I’m still in love with you? That I need you back in my life?”

I stepped back, heart pounding. His eyes were wild—too wild. “Stay away from me, Mark. I’ve told you before, and I’m saying it again: I want nothing to do with you again ”

I turned to walk away, but he grabbed my arm again—harder this time—pulling me toward him, trying to kiss me.

Before I could scream, another hand shot out of nowhere and yanked him away from me.

“Didn’t your mother teach you not to force yourself on a woman, Mr.?” It was Jason. My bodyguard. My quiet shadow.

    Chapter 53Lily's Pov“The warm breeze hit my face the moment we stepped off the private jet. There was something soothing about the scent of the air—fresh, a little salty, and rich with a promise of peace. After all the chaos back home, this vacation was exactly what I needed.A man in a sharp black suit approached us with a polite smile. He looked straight out of a luxury magazine—professional, poised, and clearly used to serving important people.“Good to have you back once again, sir. Good day, ma’am,” he said, bowing slightly before he opened the door to a waiting car. Not just any car. A Rolls-Royce Sweptail. The kind of car you only ever see in movies or dream about during sleepless nights.“Thank you, Ryan,” Richard replied warmly, placing a gentle hand on my lower back as he guided me into the car.The interior was just as breathtaking as the outside—cream leather seats, champagne on ice, and a fragrance I couldn’t quite place but instantly loved. I looked over at him, curiou

    Chapter 52Lily's povI opened the message, and my heart skipped a beat.“Enjoy your spotlight while it lasts, Lily 😡”A chill ran through me, despite the warmth of the evening. My fingers tremble slightly as I deleted the message. I refused to let anyone ruin this moment for me. Not tonight. Not after all I’ve worked for.I exhaled deeply and forced a smile back on my face as I tapped on Mia’s number. She picked up on the second ring.“Mia, guess what?” I giggled like a schoolgirl, excitement bubbling through me.“Richard proposed marriage to you?” she teased, followed by her unmistakable cackle.“What??? Come on, Mia!” I laughed. “Don’t do that to me. You almost gave me a heart attack!”“Nah?” she hissed dramatically. “How disappointing then. So what could possibly be more exciting than that, Lily?”I grinned. “Oh, Mia... you are the sweetest, craziest soul I know. I got promoted today! I’m now a senior auditor!”There was a brief pause, then a scream from the other end.“No way! L

    Chapter 51Lily's Pov“I didn’t… because you were obviously still busy with whoever that lady was,” I said, my voice sharp, my eyes searching his face. There was a flicker in his eyes—guilt. Just as I thought.“Besides,” I continued, trying to keep my tone steady, “whoever that guy was, he was clearly drunk.”Richard sighed and moved a step closer. “I’m sorry, Lily. I didn’t mean to take that long with Samantha.”His apology seemed genuine, but I could tell he wasn’t convinced about my story. His eyes narrowed.“So… you don’t know who the guy was?”I glanced briefly at Jason, who stood nearby, completely expressionless. He didn’t move a muscle. He didn’t need to.“Not exactly,” I lied, keeping my voice casual. Not because I was protecting Mark. I just wasn’t ready to explain who he really was—to me, to anyone.Richard stared at me for a moment longer, then gave a small nod.“Alright… but if anything like that ever happens again, don’t keep it from me. Promise me.”I gave a half-hearte

    Chapter 49Lily's Pov I asked him again, softer this time, "Mark… what do you mean by that?"But there was only silence. Heavy, thick, unrelenting silence. It stretched between us like an invisible wall, growing taller with each passing second.My heart was pounding so loud I was sure he could hear it. It echoed in my ears like war drums before a battle. I turned fully to face him, eyes searching for something—anything. An answer. A hint. A crack in his calm.But Mark didn’t look at me. Not really. His eyes held a distance I hadn’t seen before. Cold. Cautious.Then finally, he spoke. “What do you wanna hear, Lily?”And with that, he walked away.Just like that. No explanation. No emotion. He turned and disappeared into the blur of music and laughter, leaving behind only a chill—and a thousand questions screaming in my chest.I stood frozen, his words playing on repeat in my mind like a broken record. What did he mean? What was he hiding? Why did it feel like everything I thought I kn

    Chapter 48Lily's PovRichard returned to the office, and the energy was electric. Smiles stretched across every face, and cheers echoed from every hallway. It was one of those moments that didn’t need words — victory had a scent, a sound, a rhythm. And today, it belonged to Richard.When Mark shook Richard's hand respectfully and said” congratulations sir,”, his voice steady and eyes clear with joy, something inside me settled. I had doubted him, silently accusing him in my heart. I thought he had a hand in the chaos we’d faced, that maybe envy and jealousy had tainted his loyalty. But in that moment, I realized how wrong I had been. His pride in Richard’s success wasn’t just real — it was loud and genuine. There was nothing to gain from Richard’s downfall, and his paycheck was the smallest part of what tied him to this place. He believed in the man he worked for.I slipped into Richard’s office, closing the door softly behind me. He turned, and his face lit up like I was the prize h
