Lily's first day at work did not go as smoothly as she had imagined.

By nine o'clock, she was already wondering whether accepting the job had been a good idea.

The coffee shop was busier than she expected. Customers kept coming in, orders were piling up, and she was still trying to remember where everything was kept.

"Table four needs two cappuccinos!" one of her coworkers called.

"I'm coming!"

Lily hurried toward the counter, nearly bumping into another waitress.

"Sorry!"

The girl laughed. "Re

    Lily's first day at work did not go as smoothly as she had imagined.By nine o'clock, she was already wondering whether accepting the job had been a good idea.The coffee shop was busier than she expected. Customers kept coming in, orders were piling up, and she was still trying to remember where everything was kept."Table four needs two cappuccinos!" one of her coworkers called."I'm coming!"Lily hurried toward the counter, nearly bumping into another waitress."Sorry!"The girl laughed. "Relax. It's your first day. You'll get used to it.""I hope so. My feet are already begging me to go home.""Wait until lunchtime. That's when the real work begins."Lily stared at her in disbelief."You're supposed to encourage me, not scare me!"They both laughed before returning to their duties.Despite the busy morning, Lily was beginning to enjoy herself. The manager had explained her responsibilities, and her coworkers were friendly enough. It felt good to be somewhere she could earn her own

    "Of course. Where else would I sleep?"Mich stared at Lily as if she had just said something unbelievable.He glanced at the bed, then back at her. "I thought you would prefer another room.""Why would I do that?""Because we're not really..." He stopped, unsure how to finish his sentence.Lily raised an eyebrow. "Not really what? Married?""That's not what I meant."She laughed softly. "Mich, we had a wedding. We exchanged rings. Our families were there. I'm pretty sure we're married.""I know we're married.""Then what's the problem?"He had no answer that he could give her without raising questions.Lily walked to the wardrobe and took out her nightclothes. "Look, I know we didn't choose this marriage, and I understand if you're not comfortable with everything yet. But we agreed to give it a chance, remember?"Mich nodded slowly."So, let's start by being comfortable around each other. You don't have to worry about me."She went into the bathroom to change, leaving Mich alone with

    Mich was surprised when he saw Lily standing at the door.She had come back earlier than he expected.“Lily…”She was still staring at him.“Mich, you haven't answered me.”Mich glanced at the wheelchair beside the couch before looking back at her.“My doctor came to see me today,” he explained calmly. “He advised me not to spend all my time in the wheelchair. He said sitting in it for too long could affect my waist.”“Oh.”“He helped me sit here before he left.”Lily's face relaxed.“I thought maybe…” She stopped herself. “Sorry. I misunderstood.”“It's okay.”She smiled a little.“I just wish you could stand again someday.”“I know.”“I really believe you will walk again.”Mich looked at her for a moment.“Okay, enough about my legs.” He smiled. “You looked very excited when you came in. What happened?”Lily's face immediately lit up again.“I got a job!”Mich smiled.“I knew you would.”“How?”“Because you're a good person. You're capable, and you're beautiful. Someone would be luc

    Mich sat quietly after his PA left, staring at the documents spread across the table.His uncle's name kept appearing in places it shouldn't. There wasn't enough evidence to prove anything yet, but Mich had a strong feeling that he was getting closer to the truth.He rubbed his forehead and leaned back against the couch.Lily, I wish I could tell you everything, but I can't. Not now. If you find out too much, you'll be dragged into this mess with me.He glanced toward the door.I just hope that one day, you'll understand and forgive me.A knock interrupted his thoughts.Emma, the housekeeper, stepped inside.“Sir, you called for me?”“Yes.” Mich closed the folder. “I want you to order some food from a good restaurant. Something delicious. Lily will be back soon, and I want her to have something nice to eat.”Emma smiled. “Has Madam told you what she likes?”“Not really.” He paused, thinking. “Just order a few different dishes. Don't get too much, though. She might complain that we've

    The next morning, Lily woke up earlier than usual.She had an interview that morning, and she didn't want to be late.After freshening up, she quickly changed into something simple and presentable. She checked herself in the mirror, adjusted her hair, and picked up her bag.Then she remembered Mich.She couldn't leave without making breakfast.Lily went downstairs and headed straight to the kitchen. She was still preparing the food when she heard someone behind her.She turned around and found Mich already sitting in the dining hall.“Good morning,” she greeted.“Morning,” Mich replied.Lily looked at him. “You woke up early.”“I've been waiting for you.”“For me?”“Yes. I was getting hungry.”She laughed. “You could have called me.”“I thought you'd be busy.”“I was.”“Exactly.”Lily shook her head and brought the breakfast to the table.They ate together.After a few minutes, Mich noticed she kept checking the time.“You're nervous.”“A little.”“About the interview?”“Yes.”“You'll

    Lily sat quietly on the balcony, staring at the evening sky.Her laptop was open in front of her, but she hadn't read a single word on the screen for the past ten minutes.She couldn't concentrate.Her mind kept returning to one thought.Her marriage.She had spent the past few days thinking about everything that had happened.She hadn't chosen Mich.Mich hadn't chosen her.Their families had made the decision for them.But now that they were married, Lily didn't want to spend the rest of her life treating him like a stranger.She closed the laptop.When she returned to their room, Mich was sitting near the window, reading something on his phone.He looked up.“You're back.”“Yes.”Lily stood there for a moment.“Can we talk?”Mich immediately put his phone down.“Of course.”She walked over and sat across from him.“I've been thinking.”“About what?”“Us.”Mich remained quiet.Lily took a deep breath.“When our families arranged this marriage, neither of us had a choice.”He nodded.
