Lilian POV

"Yeah, it'll be fun!" Grace chimed in, her arm still linked with Lucas'. "We could all hang out and talk a little about us."

I pondered their proposal for a moment, feeling torn between accepting and declining. On one hand, I wanted to escape this awkward situation, but on the other hand, this could be an opportunity to clear the air with Grace.

but I felt compelled to accept, not wanting to raise any suspicions. With a hesitant smile, I finally responded, "Sure, why not? I could use a break."

We made our way out of the hospital and we stepped into the warm sunshine, Grace let out a big sigh," I'm relieved to be free of the hospital sterile walls and clinical atmosphere, sometimes it sucks."

Lucas nodded in agreement, his grip on Grace's hand tightening slightly. "I know what you mean. It's refreshing to be outside and just relax for a bit."

Lucas nodded in agreement, his grip on Grace's hand tightening slightly. "I know what you mean," he said, glancing across the stre

    Chapter 101LilianI don’t know how long I sat there, heart hammering, head spinning. My son—one of my babies—was here. And he thought I was dead.“Lilian.” Lucas’s voice came soft, cautious.I looked up slowly. “Don’t.”He flinched, stepping back as if my voice physically hit him.“You lied,” I said, standing, holding the bedframe to keep steady. “You knew something. You knew it was me all along. You brought me here on purpose. You planned this.”“I didn’t!” Lucas said, his voice rising for the first time. “Damn it, Lilian, I didn’t know about the kids. I swear on everything—”“But you knew I didn’t want to come back!” I shouted. “You knew I wouldn’t come back unless you forced me. So you waited until I was too weak to fight back. And then you dragged me here.”He opened his mouth. Closed it. Then sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. “Yes. I was desperate.”I laughed bitterly. “There it is.”“I didn’t poison you,” he said again. “But when I saw how sick you were… I knew it was the o

    Chapter 100LilianWhen I came to, the world was blurry.I blinked, and the ceiling came into focus, wooden beams.The smell hit me next. Herbs, something bitter… and wolves.My body felt heavy. My head pounded like someone had driven nails into my skull, and my mouth was dry as dust.Then I heard voices.“She’s awake,” someone murmured.I tried to sit up, but my limbs wouldn’t cooperate. It was like trying to move underwater.“What the hell…” I croaked, my throat raw.A woman stepped into view, older, with silver hair pulled into a tight braid. Her eyes were sharp and calculating.“You’re safe,” she said, her voice clipped but not unkind. “You’re back in the packhouse.”My stomach dropped.Back?No.I bolted upright, ignoring the nausea that slammed into me. “Where’s Lucas? What did you—”“Calm yourself.” The woman pressed a hand to my shoulder, surprisingly strong. “He didn’t harm you. He brought you here after you collapsed. You’ve been unconscious for almost two days.”Two… days?

    Chapter 99 LilianI woke up to silence.Not the kind that’s peaceful. Not the kind that greets you after a long day.This silence was heavy. I blinked up at the ceiling, unsure for a moment where I even was. Then the sting in my chest reminded me. Damien. The argument. The slammed door.Right. He didn’t come back last night.I turned my head and looked at the empty side of the bed. Cold. No dent in the pillow. He hadn’t even thought about returning. And that said everything, didn’t it?I stared at the ceiling for a while, feeling completely hollow. I should’ve cried. Maybe screamed. But there was just this stillness inside me, like the grief had settled so deep it didn’t know how to crawl out anymore.After a while, I forced myself to get up. I didn’t want to mope in bed all day. My feet hit the floor and I immediately felt how stiff my legs were. Probably from standing and arguing for what felt like hours yesterday.I dragged myself to the bathroom, splashed cold water on my face,

    98Lilian My heart sank at his words, but I forced myself to stay calm, though every part of me wanted to lash out. “Why?” I asked, my voice almost breaking. “Why would you do that, Lucas?”He gave me a look of exaggerated disbelief. “What? A guy like me can’t settle down?”“You and I both know this isn’t about settling down,” I said bitterly, trying to keep the anger from spilling over. “You’re playing a game, as always.”Lucas shrugged, completely unbothered by my accusation. “Maybe I am, maybe I’m not. What does it matter? Grace is head over heels for me, and I thought, why not? Might as well have a little fun.”“Fun?” I repeated, my voice rising despite my best efforts to keep it steady. “You’re talking about someone’s life, Lucas! Grace actually believes this is real!”“And whose fault is that?” he shot back, his smirk fading just slightly. “She chose to believe what she wanted. I never promised her a fairy tale.”“You proposed to her!” I spat, unable to contain my frustration a

    97Lilian I stood there, frozen for a moment after Grace left, her excitement lingering in the air while I was trapped in a whirlpool of my own thoughts. Damien hadn’t said a word since she left, but I could feel the storm brewing inside him. His shoulders were tense, and he kept running a hand through his hair, something he only did when he was stressed beyond measure.I cleared my throat, trying to ease the tension in the room. "Damien, what’s going on?" I asked softly, stepping closer to him. "You’re clearly not fine."He stopped pacing, his eyes meeting mine, and I could see the frustration brewing behind them. "Lilian, we need to talk," he said, his voice low but sharp. My stomach clenched. I wasn’t sure I wanted to hear what was coming next."What’s wrong?" I pressed, hoping to keep the conversation calm.He took a deep breath, rubbing his temples like he was trying to gather the right words. "It’s about the money."I blinked, confused. "The money? What about it?""You’ve been

    96Lilian A few days later, I sat on the sofa, half-watching a TV show that I wasn’t really invested in. My mind kept drifting back to Lisa’s situation and the overwhelming feeling of helplessness that had gripped me since my conversation with Rebecca. The tension in the house was palpable, but I was trying to distract myself, anything to escape the weight of reality for a little while.Suddenly, I heard a loud knock at the door, followed by the unmistakable sound of someone letting themselves in. Before I could even process what was happening, Grace came barreling into the living room like a whirlwind."Lilian!" she shouted, her voice brimming with excitement as she practically leapt at me. I barely had time to react before she was hugging me tightly, her energy infectious. “Grace, what—?” I started, trying to get a word in as she pulled back and thrust her hand in front of my face. I blinked, trying to focus on what she was showing me.Her eyes were practically glowing with joy as
