Lily’s POV

I was back at the mansion, sitting in bed after showering. Charles had already helped bandage my bruise earlier.

Lying back against the pillows, I sighed and traced my hand around my stomach, conflicted about the life growing inside me. I didn’t know what to do. This was my flesh and blood, regardless of who the father was. The first life I’d ever carried. It would be selfish to get rid of it, but keeping it wasn’t the safest choice either. If it turned out to be Adrian’s, how would

  • Don’t Make Me Love You   What I won't Admit

    Adrian’s POVThe drive out of the city took longer than I remembered. I hadn't been out this way in months, not since the last time the reports needed a signature I couldn't be bothered to have someone else provide. I told Ellyn I had somewhere to be. I didn't tell her where, because even I wasn't fully sure why I was going until the buildings thinned out and the road turned to gravel and I recognized the turn without needing to think about it.My phone buzzed twice before I even parked. The first was an email. The second was a call I let ring out because I already knew, from the subject line alone, that it wasn't going to be a conversation I wanted to have standing up.I read the email first.Capital Management Group was requesting an urgent review of the loan terms. Not a renegotiation, a review, which in their language always meant the same thing: they wanted something tightened before they'd admit that's what they were doing. I scrolled down. There it was, buried under three parag

  • Don’t Make Me Love You   Too Close For Comfort

    Adrian’s POVI threw my head back against my throne-like office chair, squirming in frustration. I had just ended a call with one of my investors, who'd heard about what happened earlier through some paparazzi lurking around hoping to dig up anything they could use against me. I knew exactly who was behind it, because I'd tracked down the journalist responsible for most of the stories about me before, only to find out he'd been hired by one of my rivals in the industry. I'd slammed them with lawsuits worth billions, and they'd gone quiet after that. Now people were finding out things they shouldn't know again, and I had a feeling it was them, circling back for round two, hoping I'd let my guard down.I sighed, my fingers curling into fists as I reached for the phone on my desk."Ellyn, have the media team do something about the video circulating online.""Yes, sir," she answered immediately."Have them find out who is responsible for it, immediately. By the end of the day, I want thei

    Lily’s POVI was back at the mansion, sitting in bed after showering. Charles had already helped bandage my bruise earlier. Lying back against the pillows, I sighed and traced my hand around my stomach, conflicted about the life growing inside me. I didn’t know what to do. This was my flesh and blood, regardless of who the father was. The first life I’d ever carried. It would be selfish to get rid of it, but keeping it wasn’t the safest choice either. If it turned out to be Adrian’s, how would I deal with birthing a child for the man responsible for everything that had destroyed me? And if it turned out to be Damian’s, this child would grow up without the kind of love it deserved, because I didn’t feel that way about him. Nothing changed the fact that he was once engaged to my dead sister.My phone rang, pulling me out of my thoughts. I grabbed it off the table by my bed. It was Adrian. I thought about ignoring it, but I couldn’t. I was dying to hear his voice.“Lily?”I’d planned t

  • Don’t Make Me Love You   The One Thing I Couldn’t Escape

    Lily’s POVCharles hit the brakes immediately, jumping out of the car to meet me where I’d landed on the tarred road. Thankfully, we weren’t on the highway yet.“Kathryna!” Charles yelled. That was the first time in ages he’d called me by my real name, and even more surprising was the tone he said it in. I held my stomach tightly, ignoring how scared he sounded. Tears threatened to fall down my cheeks, but I held them in. I didn’t want Charles to figure out what was happening. What would he think of me?“What the hell were you thinking?” he demanded, trying to help me up.I didn’t say a word. Tears continued to well up in my eyes, and this time I couldn’t hold them back. I burst into tears, still clutching my stomach as he finally pulled me to my feet. I leaned into his shoulder, sobbing, without telling him anything.Charles held me carefully, despite how vulnerable I was in that moment. He didn’t say a word, didn’t ask questions, didn’t blame me for what I’d almost done. I felt his

  • Don’t Make Me Love You   Aftermath

    Lily’s POVI woke up to beeping sounds I could not make out. My eyes felt too heavy to open all at once, but I forced them apart slowly and looked around. Strange faces I had never seen moved to and fro at every corner of the room. The air smelled of antiseptic and medicine. That smell gave me a small clue about where I was.My fingers felt like they had been on a long vacation and had not yet come back. I moved them, one by one, then used both hands to push myself up.“How did I get here?” I asked the pretty woman who was busy with different bottles and containers on the table by my bed.She startled and turned toward me. “You are awake!” she said softly, as if she had not expected me to be up so soon.I raised an eyebrow and waited for her to explain.“You were rushed in by your boyfriend,” she said.My mouth made a disgusted shape. “My boyfriend?” I asked. My brows tightened.“Yes. Damian Cole,” she answered with a small smile.Oh. Damian. I tried to force the memory to fit. Damian

  • Don’t Make Me Love You   A FORBIDDEN TRIANGLE

    Lily’s POV“You missed work today, ma’am?” Charles asked as he shut the door behind him. He walked into my room, holding the file I had requested earlier.“I called in sick,” I replied, grabbing the file from his hands and opening it quickly. It contained detailed information about Adrian’s whereabouts and the recent calls he had made.“Where is Damian?” I asked without looking up, my eyes still glued to the paper in my hands.“He is in the guest room, ma’am.”I nodded. “You may leave.”He turned to walk out, but I immediately stopped him.“Charles.”He turned back, his attention once again on me.“You did a good job with the farmland. Thank you.”He smiled. “You’re welcome. I’ll be downstairs if you need me.”I smiled back faintly before tossing the paper away. There was nothing useful in it. Nothing important. Only God knew what Adrian was really up to and how he kept managing to hide his evil deeds.I stood up and made my way to the guest room. My head was everywhere at once, crowd
