Killian’s Pov

I walked into the garden just in time to see Maya raise her hand at Lilith.

"Don’t you dare raise your hand on my wife," I said, voice low but sharp.

Everyond paused. Their eyes snapped to me.

Maya stepped back slightly. “She started it. She called me a bitch.”

I looked at Lilith. “Did you?”

“Yes,” she answered, calm and unshaken. “Because look around, Killian. I came back with my painting stuff and found it all tossed aside. She nearly damaged some of it. All because she wants to have a picnic. She could have just asked.”

I turned back to Maya. “Is that true?”

She hesitated. “I just wanted to have a picnic.”

“That’s not what I asked. Did you throw her things aside?”

“…Yes.”

I shook my head. “Then you shouldn’t have done that. You should’ve asked. And Maya, don’t you ever raise your hand on my wife again. She owns this house too. Don’t disrespect her in her own home.”

“But this is your house, Killian. You’re my brother.”

“And she is my wife. Respect her.”

Then I looked

    Lilith’s PovThe door slammed behind Killian and silence filled the room.I just sat there. Staring.No more crying. I already promised myself that. I wasn't going to let tears win today.But no matter how hard I tried to stop thinking, my mind went back… to the way he kissed my hand. The way his body pressed against mine. I felt him. All of him. And now it’s stuck in my head, playing on repeat.But no. I needed answers. Maya and Emily. What was that stunt for?I got up and searched the house. No sign of them. My phone wasn’t with me either, which was annoying. So I walked straight to my room.And there they were.On the bed.Laughing like nothing happened.I folded my arms. “Why did you guys do that?”I looked directly at Emily. “I didn’t expect this from you. Why are you teaming up with her now? It’s supposed to be us.”Emily sat up, guilty smile on her face. “Oh my god, I’m sorry, baby. I just… switched sides for a little bit. Maya opened my eyes, okay? She means well—for both of y

    Killian’s PovThe door clicked open.I froze.Lilith was beneath me. My hands were on her waist. Her lips were still parted from the kiss.What the hell was I doing?I stood up—fast. My body moved before my brain could catch up. Lilith sat up too. We both turned at the same time.It was Maya and Emily.Maya’s eyes widened like she had just walked in on a crime scene.“Oh my God, I’m so sorry—I’ll leave you guys,” she stammered.Then, she and Emily backed out. The door clicked shut again.Clicked.Why the hell did they click it? Were they hoping we’d continue?I didn’t say a word. I walked over to the edge of the bed and sat. My heartbeat was still racing like I’d been in a fight. I looked at Lilith. She was fiddling with her fingers now, looking unsure, looking—guilty.“So this has been your plan all along,” I said quietly, but there was venom under my breath.“And now it’s worked. You kissed me—again.”She snapped her head toward me.“You don’t have to do this every time,” she said.

    Lilith's Pov“What do you mean it’s locked from the outside?” Killian’s voice cut through the air like a sharp blade.I turned slowly, folding my arms like the innocent prisoner I absolutely was not. “What does it sound like, Mr. Genius? The door—our only exit—is locked. From. The. Outside.”“Who did that?” he asked, brows furrowed in this ridiculous mixture of confusion and rising panic. “When you closed the door, did you do it improperly? Maybe there's an issue with the latch or—”“There’s no issue,” I interrupted, deadpan. “Except the obvious one where someone very deliberately locked us in like a pair of hormonal teenagers in a sitcom. Which, for the record, I’m not laughing at.”Killian didn’t listen. He did that thing where he tried to act like brute force would solve everything. He turned to the door and barged into it. Once. Twice. Thrice.Nothing.“Right,” I said with the world's most dramatic sigh, “because that always works in the movies.”“I know how locks work, Lilith.”“

    Lilith's PovI felt something heavy pressed against my face. My eyes opened slowly. Emily.She was sleeping like a madwoman, half her body sprawled over mine. Her hand was on my face, her leg tangled with mine.“Emily, stay properly,” I mumbled, trying to breathe.She groaned. “Just go to sleep.”“It’s morning,” I said, already sliding her arm off my face. “We need to get on with our day.”“Okay, okay, I’m waking up,” she muttered, eyes still closed.I pushed her leg off me and sat up. She didn’t move.I tapped her shoulder. “Wake up. We have a lot to do.”She groaned again, then sat up dramatically. “I’m awake, soldier! What do you want me to help you with? I’m at your service!”I laughed. “Your breath stinks. Go brush first, then we’ll talk about service.”We both burst into laughter, playfully nudging each other, still half-asleep and messy-haired.Just then, a knock came, and before we could answer, someone walked in.It was Maya.I didn’t even remember telling her to come in. I w

    Nolan’s PovWalking into Killian's office, I instantly knew something was off. His face looked like someone just punched his soul.“Is this a good time to talk to you?” I asked.He blinked up, like he just woke up from deep thoughts. “Yes, of course. Is there a problem, brother?”I nodded slowly. “Alessio caught the guy. Zoey’s charming ex." I added air quotes. "We’re going there. Do you want to come along?”Killian ran a hand through his hair. “I’d really love to come, but I’ve got so much on my plate right now. If you can handle it alone, then go ahead.”I shrugged. “Alright, just do what you have to do. I’ll handle it with Zoey.”He nodded. I nodded back. And just like that, I turned to leave.Zoey was already waiting at the mansion. She smiled and grabbed my hand like we were some Instagram couple.I didn’t pull away. Not because I liked it. I just didn’t want to hear her nag about it for the next hour.We got into the car. I told the driver the address Alessio sent.“I can’t wait

    Lilith’s PovAs soon as I left Killian’s office, my heart started beating fast.Really fast.I didn’t even know if it was fear or anger or just nerves. Maybe all three.I didn’t want to piss him off. But I also didn’t want to keep folding for him. I needed to start standing my ground. And honestly, I wasn’t going to keep having this argument with myself anymore.On my way to my room, I kept thinking about everything I just said to him. Emily was waiting for me—I had so much to tell her. She was probably already pacing.Then I heard someone call my name.But it wasn’t “Lilith.”It was “Liz.”I turned quickly.It was Nolan.He walked up to me with that same calm look on his face. “How are you doing?” he asked.“I’m fine,” I said with a small smile.Then I looked at him properly and said, “Thank you… for what you did yesterday. For not telling Killian where I was. I owe you one. I’m forever grateful.”He shrugged. “It’s fine. Really.”I looked down, then back at him. “Also… about what al
