The morning sunlight spilled into the penthouse, golden and soft, like a fresh beginning.

Lily stirred beneath the crisp white sheets, her head still heavy from the night before. Her body ached slightly, not from exhaustion, but from something deeper—the emotional unraveling that had taken place between them. For the first time in years, she felt... held. Not just by William’s arms, but by the truth.

William was already awake, standing by the window shirtless, coffee in hand. His eyes were fixed on the city below, but his mind was clearly elsewhere. When Lily sat up and wrapped the blanket around herself, he turned slightly and smirked. "Morning, Miss Secretary."

She threw a pillow at him. "Don’t start."

"You started," he said, grinning. "You broke into my heart and never returned the key."

Lily shook her head, laughing despite herself. "You’re the corniest billionaire I know."

"Yet here you are, stealing my bed and coffee."

  • Mr. William's Rules   Chapter 52- Threads of the misssing

    The morning sunlight cut through the estate’s tall windows, glinting off the crystal vase on William’s desk. Lily stirred awake in the guest bedroom, the one William insisted she use instead of returning to her own apartment after the chaos of the press storm. A dull ache sat in her chest from the previous day—whispers in the office, eyes full of judgment, the tremor in her voice when she’d admitted to William she felt like a burden.She sat up, brushing hair from her face. The digital clock blinked 6:12 a.m. Outside, the distant hum of city traffic was already building. A soft knock came at the door, not urgent, just polite.“Lily?” William’s voice.“Yes?” She quickly adjusted her robe.The door opened a fraction, his tall frame appearing in the morning light. His usually immovable expression softened when he saw her still pale from exhaustion. “Breakfast in twenty. I’ll wait downstairs.”She nodded, her lips curving faintly. “Thank you… William.”When he left, she lingered a moment,

  • Mr. William's Rules   Chapter 51- New Chapter

    The morning after weeks of speculation, William Thomas called for a press briefing in the atrium of Thomas Global. Cameras flashed like lightning, reporters packed shoulder to shoulder as William stepped up to the podium. His tailored suit didn’t hide the weight in his shoulders, nor the faint shadow under his eyes. Lily watched from the side, her hands clasped tight, knowing what he was about to do.“Ladies and gentlemen,” William began, voice steady but edged with emotion, “I have called you here to clarify certain rumors. It is true—I have ended my engagement with Miss Natasha Mikhail. That decision was mine, not hers. I will not stand for falsehoods being spread in the media or in my own company. Furthermore…” He paused, glancing toward Lily, and in that moment the world seemed to slow. “I am proud to announce that I will be marrying Miss Lily Stephens.”The crowd erupted into murmurs, flashes exploding in the air. Questions were shouted, but William lifted a hand. “This is not op

  • Mr. William's Rules   Chapter 50- The final confrontation

    The black SUV sped down the coastal highway, headlights slicing through the thickening fog. Inside, tension pulsed like a war drum. William, Lily, and Sofia sat in silence, each consumed by thoughts of what lay ahead.The location ping had led them to a remote estate on the outskirts of the city—once owned by Leonard Mikhail, Natasha’s father. A man once seen as a philanthropic giant, admired by the media and public alike, Leonard had secretly built a brutal empire rooted in illegal trafficking and organ harvesting."This was where she grew up," William muttered as the iron gates came into view. "Of course she chose this place."The gates creaked open on their own.“She wants us to find her,” Sofia said, checking her sidearm. “But we’re not walking into this blind.”The estate was massive and eerily silent. Golden lights shimmered through the tall windows of the central mansion, illuminating the grand staircase that led to the main doors.Inside, everything was perfectly arranged—fres

    The sun had set, but the war hadn’t.William’s penthouse was transformed into a temporary operations room. Maps were spread across the table, digital trackers blinked on tablets, and Sofia worked tirelessly to triangulate the last signal pinged from the disposable SIM.Lily sat near the window, watching the skyline in silence. Her heart pounded as she held the photo of herself—the one they found in the abandoned house. To be watched, to be hunted... it was a fear she hadn’t known before. But now, she refused to run.Sofia stood up suddenly. “I got it,” she said, eyes sharp. “The signal came from a private yacht registered under a shell company. It's docked in the east harbor. If we go now, we might catch him before he disappears.”William didn’t wait for more. “We’re going.”The harbor was quiet, waves gently lapping against the docked boats. The moonlight cast long shadows as the three of them approached the vessel.William signaled to the two private security men flanking him. “No m

  • Mr. William's Rules   Chapter 47 - The flashback

    FLASHBACKThat night, William had driven like mad toward the party after Lily called. But when he arrived, the place was in chaos. Girls were panicking. Drinks were spilled, people were leaving. He called Lily's name over and over. But she was gone.He found out that one of the girls' fathers had shown up and taken the rest of them home. But before William could leave, he heard a faint scream."Help!"He ran toward the sound.Two men were forcing Natasha into a car. Her dress was torn, her hair a mess, and she was barely conscious. Without a second thought, William fought them off. His knuckles bled. One man hit him across the jaw. But he didn’t stop until Natasha was safe.Breathing heavily, he asked her where Lily was. She mumbled something, half-conscious: "She... she left... with a friend... she’s safe..."Relieved, he wrapped his shirt around Natasha’s shoulders, shielding her from the cold and from the shame. He took her to his place. She collapsed onto his bed before he could s
