Lily Thompson

The next morning, I painted my face in war colors — eyeliner sharp enough to cut glass, lipstick so red it should’ve come with a warning label and slipped into a dress that clung like a second skin. The kind of dress you wear when you want men to look twice, and when you want one man to choke on his own regret.

The look on Ryan’s face when I stepped out of the bedroom was worth every ounce of humiliation I’d felt the night before.

His jaw clenched. His eyes dragged down my body like magnets, and then snapped back to my face, sharp. “You’re not wearing that to work. Change”

I smirked. “No.”

“Lily—”

“Ryan,” I cut him off sweetly, tugging my blazer on but leaving it open. “You said I could come and go. Remember? No locks. No guards. No touching unless I asked. Those were your words.” I leaned close enough that only he could hear me. “And I’m not asking.”

His nostrils flared, but he said nothing. Just followed me silently out the door, like a man escorting his own execution.

  • My Daughter Found Me A Billionaire Husband    Mom?

    Lily ThompsonI’d made harder decisions in my life—signing away my pride in a contract, for one—but this one still knotted my stomach.College.It should have been simple. Choose a school, enroll, finish what I’d started before everything went to hell. But no matter how many shiny brochures I flipped through or how many “fresh start” articles I scrolled past online, one name kept coming back like a bruise I couldn’t stop poking.My old college.The place where everything began and ended. Where I laughed too loud in dorm hallways, scribbled notes I never got to use, kissed Ryan in stairwells when we were supposed to be studying. Where I first found out I was pregnant. Where he left me.Part of me wanted to torch it, never set foot near those halls again.But another part—the louder, angrier part—needed to.If I can walk through those halls and not break, I told myself, then I’ll know I’m stronger than the girl he left behind. I’ll know I’m not haunted anymore.So that’s where I was goi

  • My Daughter Found Me A Billionaire Husband    Mercy or Cruelty

    Lily ThompsonI spent the first ten minutes after we got home pretending I wasn’t waiting for him to touch me.Which is hilarious, considering I’m the one who keeps swearing I hate him.I paced the kitchen like a trapped cat, opening cabinets I didn’t need, rearranging mugs that didn’t deserve it, pretending the thud in my chest was caffeine and not the echo of his voice saying I am her father. The apartment was too quiet. The kind of quiet that amplifies every memory you’re trying to swallow.He didn’t crowd me. He didn’t chase me. He just moved around the island with infuriating calm—jacket off, sleeves pushed to his forearms, the tendon in his wrist flexing as he filled a glass with water like the world hadn’t cracked in half two hours ago.“Say something,” I snapped, because silence was worse than a fight.He took a sip, watching me over the rim. “What do you want me to say?”“That you overstepped. That you shouldn’t have—” My voice tripped on the word father and refused to get up

  • My Daughter Found Me A Billionaire Husband    Both Liars

    Lily ThompsonIf perfect couples were a product, PR would’ve boxed us, slapped a gold sticker on the front, and shipped us to every camera in Manhattan.Hand in hand. Smile tilt just so. His palm warm at the small of my back, mine resting light on his sleeve like I wasn’t counting the seconds until I could breathe again.The event was supposed to be soft press—children’s museum fundraiser, pastel balloons, tiny cupcakes with too much frosting. The kind of room where even scandal puts on a bowtie. We walked the step-and-repeat, did the wave-and-nod rhythm, answered three “How are you holding up?”s and two “You look radiant, Ms. Thompson”s that felt like compliments with teeth.Since the start of our fake dating, Denzol had clawed its way back into profit, and the press couldn’t get enough of us—the picture-perfect couple everyone suddenly admired. People weren’t just speculating about the campaigns anymore; they were wondering when the city’s most renowned bachelor would finally put a

  • My Daughter Found Me A Billionaire Husband    What If She’d Met Me First

    TheodoreThere’s something about Lily Thompson that ruins a man quietly.It’s not just her face, though God knows she has the kind that sticks in your mind long after she’s gone. It’s not just her laugh either, sharp and unexpected, like she’s surprised herself every time it slips out.It’s the fire. The way she walks into a room like she’s already bracing for a fight. The way her chin tips up when the world tries to crush her down. She looks fragile at first glance—but stand too close, and you realize she’s made of iron.And I? I’ve been standing too close for far too long.I tell myself she doesn’t belong to me.I repeat it like prayer, like penance.She’s Ryan’s.She’s always been Ryan’s.But my chest doesn’t listen. My chest clenches every time I see her fake a smile for the cameras. Every time I see her hide trembling hands behind a coffee cup. Every time I catch her staring at Ryan with that wild mix of longing and fury she can’t disguise.It’s torture. Because I’d give anything

  • My Daughter Found Me A Billionaire Husband    Pass Her Around

    Lily Thompson I woke up furious.Furious at him. Furious at myself. Furious at the fact that my body still hummed like a live wire hours after he’d kissed me, touched me, almost had me only to pull back with that maddening calm.“I want to wait,” he’d said, like patience was some kind of gift. Like restraint was the key to undoing me.I should have been relieved. I should have rolled my eyes and laughed in his face. This should have given me time to rethink, get a grip of myself.But instead, I’d lain awake all night, heat pooling between my thighs, my brain on fire with one question: What does Ryan Edwards consider special?Because if this was just about sex, he’d have taken the deal. He’d have stripped me bare and had me against the wall until we were too dizzy to stand.But he hadn’t.And that terrified me more than if he had.The PR team decided today was a “soft image day.” Which basically translated to: let’s parade Lily around in another designer dress while Ryan pretends not

  • My Daughter Found Me A Billionaire Husband    No Strings, No Promises

    Lily Thompson The storm didn’t vanish overnight, but it shifted.The headlines about me started to fade. The paparazzi thinned out. And the whispers—though still sharp, still cutting—were quieter now, tucked into corners instead of screamed in my face.But quieter didn’t mean gone.Every time I walked into Denzol, I felt eyes on me. Felt people weighing me against my own past, trying to measure if I was worth the air I was breathing in that building.And the worst part? My brain wouldn’t let me stop replaying the what-ifs.What if Ryan hadn’t left me all those years ago?Would I have finished college? Would Isabella and I have struggled the way we did? Would I have been standing here now, the subject of hashtags and headlines, forced to prove myself to people who’d already made up their minds?The questions festered. The anger burned hotter every day.And the fake dating only made it worse.In public, Ryan and I were perfect.Hand in hand. Smiling. Laughing. Whispering in each other’
