After the event was over, Lily walked out of the hall with Jabco beside her. The crowd was still whispering and taking photos, but she tried to keep her calm. Her heart was heavy, she was still trying to understand everything that happened.

Jabco’s assistant was already waiting near the car. He quickly took Lily’s designs and tools from Linda’s hands and carefully placed them inside the car.

As they walked toward the car, Lily asked quietly, “I thought you were out of the country. Yesterday, you said you were busy with clients. How did you come here?”

Jabco smiled, brushing a bit of hair away from his face. “I was busy, but I finished my work early. I didn’t want to miss your final round. I knew you’d win, so how could I stay away?”

His tone was light, playful, trying to ease her mood, but Lily could hear the concern behind his words.

She opened her mouth to say something, but then her steps stopped halfway. Her heart skipped a beat.

David was standing just a few steps away.

  • My Husband's Affair, My Anniversary Gift    Chapter 300

    Riyana woke up slowly, her body heavy and sore in a dull, throbbing way. It wasn’t sharp pain, just a deep ache.She groaned softly and rubbed her face with both hands, trying to shake off the fog in her head.For a moment, she just sat there, breathing.Then something felt wrong.Her eyes opened fully as she straightened a little, the blanket slipping down her waist. This wasn’t her room. The walls were darker, the curtains heavier, the air carrying a faint scent she recognized all too well.Her heart skipped. She looked around again, slower this time, as if hoping the room might suddenly change if she stared long enough.It didn’t.She glanced down at herself and froze.She was wearing a long shirt, the fabric loose.She didn’t need to think twice to know whose shirt it was. The smell alone gave it away. Clean, masculine, unmistakably his.Her fingers gripped the fabric unconsciously.So it wasn’t

    “I accepted it,” she said quickly. “I’m ready to get married. I won’t fight it anymore. Just… please don’t ruin John.”His eyes darkened instantly.“He’s just my friend,” she rushed on, fear slipping into her voice. “Nothing more. Please.”The change in him was immediate.His handsome face hardened, every line sharp and cold. The warmth she had glimpsed earlier vanished, replaced by something stern and unreadable.He didn’t like this. Not at all.His grip on her jaw tightened suddenly, enough to make her wince. Pain flashed through her face, sharp and brief.“Jabco,” she gasped, trying to turn away.But how could she fight his strength?She tried to pull back, but his hold didn’t loosen. Her heart raced, fear finally pushing past confusion and desire.Anger burned in his eyes, fierce and contained. It was like watching fire trapped

    Jabco kissed her like he had no control left, like something inside him had finally snapped. He didn’t think. He didn’t plan. He just knew he couldn’t stop himself.In his entire life, he had never felt this desperate for anything.Not power. Not success. Not control.Her.Riyana froze at first, caught between anger and disbelief. Then her senses rushed back all at once.What is he doing?She tried to push him away, pressing her hands against his chest.“Stop...” she meant to say. She wanted to tell him he couldn’t do this. That he couldn’t force marriage on her. That he couldn’t touch her like this.But his grip was firm, his body solid against hers, his closeness overwhelming. The warmth of him, the familiarity, the feelings she had buried for years rose up without permission.Her bag slipped from her shoulder and fell softly to the floor, unnoticed.She hated herself for it, but her

    Riyana had never felt so trapped in her life.This wasn’t just a difficult situation. This was a dead end. No way forward, no way back. She had never imagined that Jabco would force her like this, corner her until marriage became a weapon. The thought alone made her chest ache.“What’s wrong with this man?” she muttered under her breath, anger and helplessness mixing together.She stood outside, staring at the tall iron gate for a long moment. That gate had always symbolized power to her. Control. Authority. Today, it felt like a warning. If she walked in through there, she wasn’t sure she would be able to walk out on her own terms.Her gaze shifted to the main entrance of the house.She knew this place too well. Every hallway. Every corner. Every quiet space. She had spent years here, working, walking behind him, managing his life. Yet today, the house felt unfamiliar. Larger. Colder. Almost intimidating.She swallowed har

    “What the hell did you just do?” she shouted, horror spreading through her body.Jabco looked at her with a cold, challenging gaze. “Now let’s see how you’ll marry a man who has nothing.”He started the car.“Have you lost your mind?” Riyana screamed. Her hands shook violently. “Are you insane?”“Yes,” he replied without hesitation. “I lost my mind. I gave you a chance. You made your choice.”There was no guilt on his face. Not even a flicker.Riyana felt her vision blur. Her fingers trembled uncontrollably, her nails digging into her palm. For a moment, she couldn’t even think.This was her fault. John had done nothing wrong. She couldn’t destroy someone’s life because of her lie.“Alright,” she said suddenly.Jabco glanced at her.She closed her eyes, swallowing her pride. “There is no one. I mean… there is

    “What’s wrong with you?” Riyana snapped, anger flaring instantly.Jabco moved to the other side, got in, and locked the car.“Let me go,” she said, tugging at the handle. It wouldn’t budge. “What the hell...”“Let’s get married.”Riyana froze. Her head snapped toward him.“What…?”For a second she was sure she’d heard wrong. She had to be. Marriage? Jabco Grey? With her?Jabco closed his eyes and took a deep breath before looking at her.“Didn’t you say you want to get married? That you want a family? That you don’t want to grow old alone? Then why not choose me? We’ve known each other for ten years. Don’t you think I’m a good choice?”Riyana stared at him, completely stunned.“Am I drunk?” she muttered, shaking her head. No. She was sober. Very sober. “Why am I hearing nonsense?&rdquo
