Lily Russell’s POV

I quietly followed as she walked toward the elevator. When we entered, she suddenly let out a sigh. I turned to her, slightly furrowing my brow.

“Is there a problem?” I asked, almost in a whisper, as if I didn’t really want to hear the true answer.

Mrs. Sisa just shook her head. She remained silent and slowly pressed the button. She didn’t add a single word, and the silence between us grew even heavier.

A few moments later, the elevator chimed and the doors opened. We had rea

  • The CEO's Lethal Obsession (ENGLISH VERSION)   Chapter 31 Saving Zaid

    LILY RUSSELL'S POVI quickly arrived at the bar, immediately greeted by the loud music and the mixed smell of alcohol, perfume, and sweat. I hurriedly went up to the bar’s second floor where the VIP rooms were located.“Alena,” I called my friend. “Which room is Zaid in?”I pressed my earpiece tightly because of how loud the surroundings were. There was no one in the second-floor hallway, but the noise from the first floor still reached here. I didn’t know if my plan would work or not. But I just hoped I wouldn’t make a mistake, and that before anything worse happened to Zaid and me, Wade would arrive.“Room eight, at the end of the hallway,” Alena replied through the earpiece. “I’ve already checked the footage. There are ten men, and they’re all armed. So don’t act recklessly, Lily. I know you sometimes act like a superhero, but don’t do that now. Do not provoke them.”“Yeah, yeah, you talk too much.”I couldn’t help but roll my eyes in annoyance. Alena really was the one who always

  • The CEO's Lethal Obsession (ENGLISH VERSION)   Chapter 30 Stepping into Danger

    ZAID’S POV“Are you scared now, kid?” the leader of the group said mockingly. His deep voice echoed inside the VIP room.We are in the VIP room of the bar. Not too big, but not too cramped either. The smell of alcohol, cigarette smoke, and strong perfume mixed in the air. They brought me here after the chaos. Everyone earlier just watched as I was beaten by these men. Not a single one of them cared to help me. Maybe they were afraid of getting involved in trouble, or maybe they knew who these people were.“You look like you come from a wealthy family, huh,” the man said, shaking his head. He dragged out his words as if stripping away my identity. “I should’ve asked for more money. I wouldn’t have lost anyway. Looks like the woman coming here is beautiful. What, is she your teacher? Miss? Miss Lily Russell?”I closed my eyes for a moment. I could feel the heat of my blood in my cheeks. But despite everything they had done to me earlier, I suddenly gained strength. A strength coming fro

  • The CEO's Lethal Obsession (ENGLISH VERSION)    Chapter 29 The Use of it

    Lily Russell’s POVI almost fainted when I heard the next line.“Your voice alone is already so beautiful, Miss Lily. You also look like someone who won’t back down. Maybe you’re also fun to kiss. Do you fight back when you’re being kissed?” A malicious laugh followed, and my heart beat wildly fast.“Miss Lily, don’t listen to him—ahh!” A voice screamed...Zaid, I couldn’t be mistaken, that was his voice!“Don’t hurt her! Let Zaid go! What do you want? Money?”The man went quiet for a moment, then lowered his voice again. “Oh, so that’s how little you think of me?” he said, his playful mockery obvious. “Because of what you said, go to the black alley of D’beat bar. Bring one hundred thousand pesos. I want it in one-thousand peso bundles, got it? If not, you’ll just find this man’s corpse.”Before I could respond, he hung up. Alena and I looked at each other, and she quickly shook her head.“I know what you’re thinking, Lily. You can’t go there!” Alena’s voice was almost crying. “What i

  • The CEO's Lethal Obsession (ENGLISH VERSION)   Chapter 28 The Call

    Lily Russell's POV“Can you stand living in that house?” Alena asked with a faint smile, though there was pain in her voice. “I know it’s Wade you’re after. But don’t you know his younger brother Zaid also has feelings for you?” I took a deep breath. “If I’m the one you’re asking, I don’t want to live there because Zaid is there. But Wade is the one who wants me to stay with him there. I can’t exactly refuse because I need to uphold my role as the obedient girlfriend of a Wade Chilton.” There’s a small part of my heart that worries I might hurt Zaid again once he finds out I’m already his brother’s girlfriend. But my anger toward Wade is stronger, so I need to set aside whatever pity I feel for Zaid. If I let compassion take over, I’ll lose the chance to reclaim the justice that I and my family are seeking. Zaid has a kind heart, but he is only a tool in my plans, and I won’t allow emotions to ruin the strategy I’ve built over many years. “Seriously,” Alena exclaimed in disbel

    Lily Russell’s POV“Lily, maybe you should just stop this?” Alena, my best friend, said worriedly.I shook my head. “You know that’s not possible. And it’s not that easy for me to just give all of this up, Alena. I spent so long building everything. Then I’ll just give up? I can’t do that.”Alena’s expression turned serious. “What’s all of this even for, Lily, if you’re the one getting hurt? Look at yourself. Who would be happy with you in this condition?”After what happened earlier, I decided to cool off and go to Alena. I just wanted to breathe for a while. I felt like if I stayed there any longer, I’d go insane. I only wore a mask to hide my swollen lips and cheek. I also wore a turtleneck top to cover the bruise on my neck. Even so, it still didn’t escape Alena’s notice. After she saw my bruised face, she examined every part of my body.“I don’t care about all the wounds or bruises I get, Alena. What matters to me is uncovering the truth behind my father’s death. If I have to bec

    ZAID’S POV“Give me one bottle of whiskey,” I said, as I placed my card on the counter. This is the first time I’ve disobeyed Kuya’s orders. The first time I’ve fought back.Whenever Kuya Wade and I meet, it’s always just jokes and teasing. I never talk back no matter what he says. In our family, he is the perfect one, the praised one. Me? I’m what they call a stain, the one without direction, the one going nowhere. But tonight is different. Tonight, I couldn’t stay silent.“The hardest whiskey,” I added, saying it firmly.As the bartender handed me the bottle, Lily’s face was all I could think about. The way she looked earlier, as if all the strength in her body had melted away. Her clothes torn, lips swollen, traces of tears still on her cheeks. She looked like a broken toy, played with too much by a child.I don’t know what’s stronger, the anger I feel toward Kuya or the pain of seeing Lily in that state.She is a woman. And above all, she is a person.How could Kuya do that? How c
