From Housewife To His Worst Ex-Wife The Best Revenge
Lily's POVThree years later.I stand in front of the full-length mirror in our bedroom, studying my reflection with a sense of wonder that still catches me off guard sometimes. The woman looking back at me is almost unrecognizable from the broken, poisoned version of myself who once thought death was the only escape.This woman has clear eyes, bright and alert, no longer clouded by drugs or fear. Her skin glows with health, not the sickly pallor of mercury poisoning. Her hair is long and shiny, falling in waves past her shoulders. She stands tall, shoulders back, radiating a quiet confidence that comes from surviving hell and choosing to thrive anyway.This woman is me.Lily Stark."Mama! Mama, look!" Emma bursts into the room, now a bright, energetic five-year-old with Tony's intelligence and my stubbornness. She's holding a drawing she made at school, our family as stick figures holding hands under a rainbow."That's beautiful, baby girl," I say, kneeling down to her level. "Is tha
From Housewife To His Worst Ex-Wife Full Circle
Lily's POVI stand on the sidewalk across the street from 1247 Elm Street, staring at the house that once held my nightmares. One year ago today, I married Tony in a garden ceremony that felt like a dream. Now, exactly twelve months later, I'm about to open the doors to the Emma Grace Foundation headquarters, built inside the walls where I was tortured, poisoned, and nearly murdered."You okay?" Tony asks softly beside me, Emma balanced on his hip. She's almost two now, chattering constantly and calling him "Daddy" without hesitation."I'm okay," I say, and I mean it.The house looks completely different now. Where there were once dark curtains and locked doors, there are now bright windows and a welcoming entrance. The exterior has been painted a soft cream color with blue shutters. Flower boxes overflow with colorful blooms. A new sign hangs beside the front door: Emma Grace Foundation - Safe Harbor.But it's what's inside that matters most."Ready?" Pepper asks, walking up with Dr.
From Housewife To His Worst Ex-Wife The Wedding
Lily's POVSix months ago, I couldn't imagine standing here. Six months ago, I was still waking up screaming. Still flinching when doors closed too loudly. Still checking locks three times before bed and keeping a baseball bat within arm's reach.But today, I'm standing in a garden filled with roses and string lights, wearing a soft rose-colored gown that flows like water around my feet, waiting to marry the man who saved my life in more ways than one."You ready, sweetheart?" Thomas asks softly beside me, and I squeeze his arm.My father. The word still feels strange and wonderful on my tongue. Thomas Bennett, with his kind eyes and gentle smile, the man who gave me life even though he never knew I existed for thirty-one years."I'm ready," I whisper.The music starts, something soft and acoustic, not the traditional wedding march. We decided early on that nothing about this wedding would be traditional. This isn't about pomp and circumstance. It's about the truth.Thomas walks me do
From Housewife To His Worst Ex-Wife The Proposal
POV: Tony StarkI'd been carrying the ring in my pocket for three weeks. I'm Every time I thought I'd found the perfect moment to propose, something got in the way. Foundation meetings. Emma getting sick. The discovery of Thomas Bennett. Police interviews about Alex's safe. Life kept happening, and the ring stayed hidden.Pepper found me staring at my desk calendar, calculating when I could arrange an evening alone with Lily."You're overthinking this," she said, setting a coffee on my desk."I'm not overthinking anything.""You've rescheduled the dinner reservation at Carmichael's four times. You bought roses three separate times and let them die because you decided the moment wasn't right. You had a string quartet on standby last week and cancelled them." Pepper crossed her arms. "Tony, you're absolutely overthinking this."I sighed. "What if she says no?""She won't.""But what if she does? What if she thinks it's too soon? What if she's not ready after everything with Alex? What i
From Housewife To His Worst Ex-Wife Unexpected Father
POV: Lily MorrisonThe envelope sat on my kitchen table for three days before I could bring myself to open it.Dr. Chen had ordered comprehensive genetic testing for Emma as part of her ongoing medical monitoring. The mercury poisoning I'd suffered during pregnancy meant Emma needed regular checkups to ensure there were no developmental issues. So far, she'd been perfectly healthy, but the doctors wanted to be thorough.I hadn't expected the testing to reveal anything about me. Tony noticed me staring at the envelope again over breakfast. Emma babbled happily in her high chair, smearing oatmeal across her face."Are you going to open that, or just keep glaring at it?" Tony asked, sipping his coffee."It's genetic test results," I said. "For Emma. Dr. Chen said there was something unusual they needed to discuss with me."Tony set down his coffee cup. "Unusual how?""She wouldn't say over the phone. Just that it wasn't anything medically concerning." I picked up the envelope, feeling it
From Housewife To His Worst Ex-Wife The Renovation
POV: Lily MorrisonThe car stopped in front of 1247 Elm Street, and my hands started shaking before I could stop them."We can turn around," Tony said quietly from the driver's seat. He hadn't taken his eyes off me since we pulled onto this street. "You don't have to do this today. Or ever."I stared at the house through the windshield. It looked smaller than I remembered. Ordinary. The white paint was peeling near the gutters, and the lawn had grown wild in the eight months since Alex's death. Someone had spray-painted "MURDERER" across the garage door in red letters that had faded to rust-colored streaks.The For Sale sign had a red "SOLD" sticker across it. I'd bought it through a shell corporation two weeks ago. Nobody knew yet that I owned the place where I'd almost died."I need to do this," I said. My voice came out steadier than I felt. "If I don't face it now, it'll have power over me forever."Tony reached over and squeezed my hand. "I'll be right beside you the whole time."
