Lily noticed the stares of several staff members looked somewhat different today; even so, she tried to remain confident, knowing this was a risk she had to face.

Lily went upstairs with Arsen. She got off at the marketing division and was immediately welcomed by Dini.

"I missed you so much!" Dini embraced Lily tightly right away.

"How are you doing? Are you fully recovered?" Dini asked to make sure, finally releasing her hug on Lily.

"I'm all better. If I weren't, I wouldn't have come to the o

    Arsen gazed deeply into Lily’s eyes. He didn't answer her question, instead reaching over to pull the seatbelt and fasten it across her body.“Tomorrow, we're going to see the obstetrician first.”Startled, Lily slapped Arsen’s hand away.“What for? Don’t you dare do anything horrible to my baby!” Lily wrapped both arms defensively around her stomach.She was terrified.Arsen was stunned, stricken with guilt at seeing such a reaction from Lily.“Don’t be afraid. I swear I will protect our child even if it costs me my life,” Arsen said softly.“We need to see the doctor to check on your health and our baby's well-being. Don’t you want to hear the story about my mother? I want to take you directly to her house, but we'll need to take a flight to get there.”Lily froze upon hearing Arsen's explanation.What did he mean?Wasn't Arsen's mother already dead?Lily didn’t want Arsen to suspect that Bryan had already told her about everything.She simply nodded in agreement to his words.The n

  • Wedded to the Ruler: My Contract Husband Gives It All   135. A Little Story About Your Mother

    Lily walked toward the car waiting in front of the lobby.As she was about to get into the back seat, she was surprised to see Arsen getting in and taking the driver's seat.“Come on,” Arsen said after rolling down the window.Lily stood there quietly, staring at him. She didn't budge from her spot.Seeing Lily just standing still, Arsen stepped out of the car, walked around, and opened the front passenger door for her.“Get in,” Arsen instructed.Lily complied and sat down immediately.Arsen got back in and promptly drove away from the ARS building.Just as Arsen had expected, Lily remained completely silent throughout the drive.“Do you want to grab something to eat first?” Arsen offered.Lily quietly stared out the window. She only then realized that they weren't heading toward Arsen's mansion.“Where are we going?” Lily asked, turning to face Arsen.“Just come along,” Arsen replied with a faint smile.Lily observed the streets they were passing, then sat up straight when she reali

    Lily smirked, picked up her drink, and took a relaxed sip."You know what, Bryan? Hearing your stories about my husband only makes me more certain that he had a good reason not to tell me."Lily set her glass down onto the table before continuing."Why is it that every time we meet and talk, all you ever do is badmouth your uncle? Meanwhile, he has never spoken ill of your family once." Lily was utterly exasperated."He's manipulative and hypocritical," Bryan retorted."Maybe to your family, but not to me." Lily began to lose her temper, her voice rising. "Your uncle is a good man, and I can feel that."Bryan burst into loud laughter instead, his shoulders shaking."Lily... Lily, he's only using you as a tool for his business continuity. Don't close your eyes, or you'll truly end up blind. If you weren't Adhitama Mahesa's daughter and my former fiancée, would he have ever bothered approaching you, let alone marrying you?" Bryan rambled on.Lily fell silent. On that single point, she t

    Sonia looked surprised, but she kept her composure.“I don’t want to complain. I just want to have some fun with you,” she replied.Bryan didn’t respond. He chose to head to the bedroom while taking off his tie and suit jacket, after which he lay flat on his back on the bed.Sonia followed him inside. She climbed onto the bed, straddling Bryan's body while running her hands across his chest.“Are you tired?” Sonia asked, her fingers continuing to wander over his chest.Bryan glanced at Sonia, who deliberately loosened the front of her top.“How about we have some fun, hm? Don't you want to?” Sonia asked in a soft, gentle voice, teasing him.Sonia watched as Bryan swallowed hard. Leaning down, she pressed her lips against his.They made out for a long while, until Bryan flipped their positions, pinning Sonia beneath him.Sonia wrapped her arms around Bryan after they had both satisfied each other. Her fingers idly traced his chest.Suddenly, she felt annoyed when her eyes fell on the b

  • Wedded to the Ruler: My Contract Husband Gives It All   132. Not Even Close

    Lily saw Sonia’s face flush crimson with suppressed rage. The woman's hands clenched tightly into fists at her sides.Lily maintained a mocking smirk as Sonia turned around and stormed out of the director's office without another word.From her seat, Lily watched Sonia pack her belongings on the desk with rough, careless movements. The woman yanked open a drawer, only to recoil moments later, wincing in pain.Lily narrowed her eyes.Every staff member in the room froze in shock, their eyes darting toward Sonia.Blood was dripping from Sonia’s finger.Heaven knew what sort of sharp object Sonia had kept inside that drawer, which had now grazed her hand and left a bleeding cut.Lily let out a slow exhale.Sonia truly was pathetic.Yet, this was nothing compared to the agony Lily had endured all this time.The marketing department instantly fell dead silent.All the employees chose to return to their respective duties, completely indifferent to Sonia.Sonia finally walked out without utt

  • Wedded to the Ruler: My Contract Husband Gives It All   131. The Second Target

    Lily sat in her chair, staring coldly at Sherly, who stood trembling before her."Close the door."Lily issued the command, yet she did not tell Sherly to draw the blinds of the glass-walled director's office.Lily did that deliberately so all the staff—especially Sonia—could witness what she and Sherly were doing."Sit down!" Lily instructed, pointing toward the chair with her finger.Lily then reached for the agreement papers she had prepared, checking which copy was meant for Sherly and which for Sonia.Lily didn't bother with pleasantries. She slid Sherly’s sheet across the desk right away."I know you like flattering people for your own gain. Even with Sonia, I know you didn't entirely agree with what she did," Lily said.Sherly merely kept quiet, her eyes fixed onto the document in front of her."Framing me during the camping trip, locking me in the restroom during the final director selection—wasn't all of that done under Sonia's orders?" Lily asked nonchalantly.Lily saw Sherl
