เข้าสู่ระบบShe loved him. He humiliated her. Now she’s walking away—for good! Lily gave up everything for her husband, William Aldridge—the man she believed was her forever. But on their anniversary, the night she planned to share the news of her long-awaited pregnancy, she walked in on him tangled in the arms of her best friend. With betrayal cutting deeper than any knife and humiliation turning her heart to ash, Lily makes a choice. No more tears. No more waiting to be loved. If not for her shattered dignity, then for the sake of her unborn child, she will return to her true self—Lilian Arkwright, the hidden heiress of the powerful Arkwright Conglomerate. But just as she begins to rebuild her shattered world, she catches the attention of Aaron Aldridge—the devilishly handsome, younger tycoon brother of William, with secrets of his own and a desire to win her heart, no matter the cost. Now torn between the father of her unborn child, the man who broke her... and the man who would do anything to love her, Lilian must decide: Forgiveness or freedom? Past or future? ~•~•~ Pa! Lily threw the stack of documents on the table in front of him. Without waiting for him to question, she said. "Divorce papers, sign them." William stared at the documents like they were a foreign language. “Divorce papers? You’re not serious,” he said, his voice low, disbelieving. Lily remained seated across from him, her expression unreadable. “I’ve never been more serious in my life.” Leaning forward, she slid the pen across the table toward him and repeated. “Sign it.”
ดูเพิ่มเติมAfter two whole weeks, Lily was finally released from the hospital.Standing outside, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath, smiling as she drew in the fresh air. Everything was finally over.The realization brought a bright smile to her lips and she could almost feel her baby flutter within her, as if sharing in her relief.Her moment of relief was cut short as a car pulled up at the curb, sleek and familiar. The door opened and Thomas stepped out, his face lighting up when he saw her.“Litte flower,” he said warmly, walking toward her with a bouquet of pale pink roses in hand. Without hesitation, he pulled her into a hug. “Congratulations on your release.”Lily melted into the hug, hugging him back with a soft chuckle. “It’s about damn time, don't you think?”She glared playfully at him as they pulled back.“Two whole weeks in a hospital, over a sprained ankle, isn't that considered overkill?” “Overkill or not,” Thomas started without missing a beat. “Your well-being and safe
The scent of antiseptic hung faintly in the air, mingling with the soft hum of the hospital’s fluorescent lights. A week had passed since the night Viktor met his end—the night where all her fear and worry finally seized.Lily sat by the window, her gaze drifting beyond the glass to where the sun was setting, painting the horizon in strokes of gold and lavender. The world looked peaceful—so peacefully detached from everything she’d endured—that she could almost pretend none of it had happened. Almost.The quiet was broken by the sound of the door opening. She turned, and there was Aaron—steady as always, his presence like an anchor in the storm that had been her life. He carried a small paper bag of fruit, the corner of his lips lifting when their eyes met.“You’re staring out that window again,” he pointed out, placing the bag on the bedside table before leaning in to press a soft kiss against her forehead. “How are you feeling today?”“Better,” She said with a small smile, shifting
For a heartbeat, Lily couldn't bring herself to move. Her chest heaved, her lungs burned from the sprint that had just been abruptly interrupted. The metallic scent of blood mingled with the dust of the abandoned building, thick in her throat. But none of that mattered to her, not when Viktor towered in front of her like a gate stopping her from freedom.Why did he have to be here? Why wasn't he with those other men?Her brain ran a thousand miles a second, questions formulating faster than she could answer them.But just as quickly, she pulled herself together, realizing that wasn't what she needed to do now. Her eyes darted toward the hallway behind Viktor—if she could just make it past him, just get around that corner—As if reading her mind, Viktor stepped sideways, blocking her vision of the hallway. His eyes zoned in on her with knowing glint. “You actually thought you could run from me?”Lily’s pulse stuttered, but she forced herself to lift her chin, meeting his gaze with ev
The shattering sound filled the room the moment Lily banged her head against the glass. Pain bloomed hot and sharp by her temple, stars briefly appeared in her vision and she staggered backward, gaining her footing before she stumbled to the floor.“Fuck,” she cursed under her breath. Compared to how she'd prepared herself for the pain mentally, this was on a whole other level. A dull throb in her temple made her groan, warm, sticky trickles slid down her head where glass had cut her, but she didn’t stop—not when survival pressed against her chest like a second heartbeat. Without wasting another second, she moved, legs tangling with the chair still lashed to her, and tried dropping to her knees, desperate to get hold of one piece of glass that could cut through the ropes biting into her wrists.Instead, she fell hard, a jagged shard embedding itself into her knee. A hiss of pain escaped her lips before she could clamp her mouth shut, and then came the slip of a cry, raw and sharp.
The drive back home was excruciatingly silent.Lily watched the landscape outside the window pass by, head leaned against the glass, mind replaying everything that had happened.Viktor was getting arrested, her mind concluded. In her lap, her fingers twitched denying her of the joy she should have
“You know,” Thomas started as they walked towards his study. By his side, Lily threw a glance his way, but it only lasted a second before she looked away, ear red. “If he's really going to be a danger to you…to my nephew, I can't let him be around you.”Lily parted her lips to object as usual—it wa
Thomas sat buried neck deep in files that barely registered on his mind no matter how many times he read or scrolled through them.From time to time, his gaze would flicker over to his phone expecting the device to ring with a call, either from Lily, his assistant or just anyone in general.With Vi
Lily felt like she'd just been struck by lightning, the kind that left you stunned, your brain fired, but still working.Her eyes darted between the two of them, wide for a second, then it narrowed, surprise morphing into anger.“Partners in crime?” Bee gaze settled on William and disgust flashed i
