Lillian's POV

The music was low in the background, something sultry and jazzy, a perfect match for the dim, moody lighting of Diana’s club. She always said she didn’t trust places that didn’t have red velvet on at least one piece of furniture, and her personal lounge upstairs had enough of it to become a small theater.

I held my glass, a strawberry mojito that was more strawberry than anything else. Diana, across from me in her signature leather pants and attitude, gave me the kind of look that made me want to either slap her or spill everything.

I did the latter.

“So…” I started, swirling the straw around my drink like it held the courage for me to talk. “You remember my boss, Nathaniel?”

Diana raised an eyebrow like I had just asked her if she remembered breathing. “Tall, broody, impossible cheekbones, and you practically combust whenever he walks into a room? That Nathaniel?”

I rolled my eyes. “You make it sound like I pant after him.”

“You do pant, Lill. Silently. Like a polite Vi

    Nathaniel's POVThere are some places that stop time... not because of where they are, but because of what happened there.For me, it was this rooftop.The same rooftop where I first sat across from Lillian and realized I was royally screwed.Not because she was beautiful... though God, she was. But because something about her saw me.Not Nathaniel Caldwell, heir to a crumbling empire.Just… me.Tonight, the wind was gentle. The skyline sparkled like it was trying to impress her, the way I had on that very first real date. The table was set the same way: two flickering candles, her favorite rosé, a plate of dark chocolate-covered strawberries. Familiar. Soft.She stepped onto the rooftop in a deep green dress that stopped my breath cold.She was elegance and ambition wrapped in soft curves and fierce eyes. And I still couldn’t believe she was mine.“You brought me back here?” she said, a soft laugh escaping her lips as she walked toward me.I stood, reaching for her hand. “Seemed fitt

    Lillian's POVAfter everything we had said... everything we had unpeeled from the past like old memories finally left to heal... Luca stood up dramatically and stretched his arms above his head.“Well,” he announced with the flair of a Shakespearean actor, “this emotional rollercoaster has done unspeakable things to my manicure. I must retreat to my lair before I start caring too much.”I snorted. “You care more than you admit.”He gasped. “Lies and slander. I'm telling HR.”Diana rolled her eyes, standing up after him. “Let me walk you out before you sue someone.”As she followed him to the door, I caught the teasing lilt in her voice... the way her fingers brushed his arm a little too familiarly. When he opened the door, she lingered in the threshold.“You still owe me a date, Luca.”He winked. “And you still owe me your cheesecake recipe.”“You’re not getting it.”“Then I’m taking you out twice.”Their voices faded into the hallway, laughter echoing. And for a second, I just stood

    Lillian's POVAs if Rachel's drama wasn't enough, Isabelle had to start her own. Again. And this time, it wasn't pretty.I barely had a week to breathe after finally putting Rachel Voss in her place, and now my name was being dragged across every gossip blog and trashy headline in existence. But this time, it wasn’t about business. No. Isabelle went personal. And she went deep.I was in my office, sipping lukewarm tea and reviewing a contract draft when my phone began vibrating like it was possessed. Messages flooded in... from Diana, a few journalists I’d blacklisted, even my old high school roommate. Everyone wanted a statement.Confused, I clicked one of the links Diana sent me, and there it was.“‘America’s New Sweetheart?’ Not Quite... Dark Past of Lillian Carter Exposed by Former Socialite Isabelle Laurent”There was a grainy photo of me from what had to be nearly a decade ago... lip gloss too shiny, heels too high, dress way too tight. And underneath it: a carefully constructed

    Lillian's POVThere’s a sound to success.It’s not the click of champagne glasses or the applause echoing through a launch venue.It’s the moment you look around and realize... you did it.That soft, internal exhale when the weight finally lifts off your chest.That’s what I felt as I stood backstage at the Conrad Hotel ballroom, the venue humming with anticipation. From where I stood behind the curtain, I could hear the buzz of the crowd... journalists, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders all gathered for the unveiling of Revive, my consultancy firm’s flagship project.My dream.My damn dream.And it was finally alive.But getting here had been anything but easy.After the fallout with Rachel, the false accusations, the arrest, the court case, and Adrian’s shadow always lurking, I could’ve disappeared. I could’ve decided it was enough.But I didn’t.Because I’d already learned how to stand when the world tried to shove me down.So I reassembled my dream team... everyone I could trust

    Lillian's POVI was halfway through my coffee and mentally outlining a partnership pitch when my phone buzzed... once, then twice, then twenty times in rapid succession.I frowned and picked it up.Breaking: Rachel Voss Accuses Rising Star Lillian Carter of Intellectual Theft.I blinked. Then laughed.No. No way.The audacity hit me before the caffeine could.I clicked into the article, scanning quickly. There it was... in all its self-righteous, manipulative glory. A headline screaming that I, Lillian Carter, had “built a business off the stolen blueprints of Voss & Co.” The article quoted Rachel word-for-word:“We’ve seen our models duplicated without credit. It’s disheartening when women tear other women down in a competitive space instead of building together.”She really played the sisterhood card?I stared at my screen in disbelief. My vision blurred, not from tears... but from rage.She was reaching. And I was done being polite.Nathaniel called just as I was slamming my laptop

    Lillian's POVRachel Voss.I was sipping my morning tea, buried under a stack of invoices and vendor agreements when my assistant, Zara, poked her head into my office... eyes wide, voice sharp.“Ma’am, you need to see this.”I looked up, raising a brow. Zara never used “ma’am” unless she was nervous.She slid her tablet toward me.The headline read: “Voss & Co. Unveils Innovative Consulting Toolkit for Startups”... and the picture underneath? A sleek, elegant branding design that was almost identical to the one my firm had been developing behind closed doors.Almost.My fingers froze mid-scroll. The font. The structure. The language. It wasn’t a coincidence.“Again?” I muttered under my breath.Zara nodded grimly. “That’s the third overlap in a month. First the internship structure. Then the networking pitch deck. And now this.”I pushed the tablet back and sat in silence, watching the steam curl up from my mug like smoke from something quietly burning.Rachel was smart. I’d give her
