When Lily woke up, the room was quiet, too quiet.

For a moment, she blinked, still half-asleep, trying to remember how she even ended up in bed. Then everything from last night hit her like a wave.

Her eyes snapped open, and she sat up instantly.

“David!” she hissed, looking around the room. But he wasn’t there.

The space beside her was empty, the blanket slightly wrinkled as if someone had just left.

She frowned, pushing the blanket away and swinging her legs off the bed.

Did he leave?

Good. He should’ve never come in the first place.

Still, something didn’t feel right. She could hear faint noises soft clattering, something sizzling.

Lily’s brows furrowed as she walked out of the bedroom. And then she froze completely.

Her mouth fell slightly open.

There, in her tiny kitchen, stood David.

He was wearing one of her aprons though clearly it didn’t fit him right and his tall frame looked almost comically out of place as he moved around the small counter. His sleeves were rolled up, his

    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

    David opened the car door for Lily and helped her inside, carefully making sure she was seated properly. Once she was settled, he closed the door and walked around to the driver’s side. As soon as he sat down and started the engine, Lily slowly blinked and turned her face toward him.Her vision was still blurry from the alcohol, but she could clearly sense the coldness coming from him. It wasn’t loud or obvious. It was quiet, heavy, sitting between them.“What’s wrong?” she asked softly, shifting a little in her seat.David kept his eyes on the road as the car moved forward. His voice was low and controlled.“What do you mean?”Lily studied his profile for a moment, then looked away.“Nothing,” she murmured. “I’m sleepy.”She leaned back and closed her eyes, choosing not to push further.David didn’t ask anything either. His hands tightened around the steering wheel,

    Riyana and Lily both turned their heads at the same time.Lily was already a little drunk. The lights above the table looked slightly blurred to her, and the noise around felt distant. Still, she recognized them instantly. Her eyes widened when she saw David standing beside Jabco.The two of them together was the last thing she expected.“What are you two doing here?” Lily asked, her voice slow but sharp enough to carry.David and Jabco exchanged a brief look. Then David stepped forward and, without any hesitation, bent down on one knee in front of her.“Mrs. Hardison,” he said calmly, as if it were the most natural thing in the world, “you’re drunk.”As he spoke, he gently reached out and brushed a loose strand of hair away from her face.Lily narrowed her eyes at him. She didn’t like the way he was acting, didn’t like the way he suddenly appeared and took control like this. But to everyone&rsq
