Ryan pov….. "She's nowhere to be found," he said, his voice shaking. "I've looked everywhere, and I can't find her." His words filled me with dread, and I stood there, frozen, trying to figure out what to do next. My mind was racing, trying to come up with a solution, but all I could think about was the worst-case scenario. “How long has she been missing?” I managed to ask, after what felt like an eternity of silence. I needed to know how long we had to find her, and I needed to know what to do next. My mind was racing, but I knew I had to stay calm and try to figure this out. “One of the maids said she saw her in the garden not too long ago,” he said, his voice urgent. I felt a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. If she had been in the garden, then she could be anywhere by now. “Has anyone visited her in the garden before she went missing?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. I needed to figure out if someone had been there, and if they might know something about what

Lily Pov….As I approached the magnificent building, my eyes danced across its features, taking in every detail. The building was breathtaking, a masterpiece of architecture and design. It seemed to gleam with a radiance brighter than any star in the night sky, its golden façade glittering in the sunlight. The gate was also a work of art, perfectly crafted and adorned with intricate details. I stood there, struck by its beauty, unable to believe that this was the place I would be calling home.I cleared my throat and walked towards the gate with purpose, ready to claim my rightful place. I gave the gate a few light knocks, trying to remain composed as I waited for someone to open it. After what felt like an eternity, the gate finally creaked open to reveal an elderly man, his face etched with concern and yet a hint of joy upon seeing me. My heart began to race, anger and anticipation building within me.“Ma’am Olivia,” the old man began, his voice shaking with emotion, “your husband h

Author Pov…As she fall off the cliff, her eyes closed tightly against the wind, she knew that death was imminent. She had given up on the hope of survival, resigned to the idea that her fate was sealed. The fall seemed to last an eternity, the air rushing past her as she plummeted towards the ground below.Lilian Pov….A loud bang on the door made me jolt awake, my heart pounding in my chest. Who could possibly be banging on my door at this hour? I rubbed my eyes and glanced at the clock. 12:00pm? How could I have slept that long? The banging started again, this time even louder. I scrambled to the door and called out, “Who’s there?” I slowly turned the doorknob and peered through the crack.“You foolish woman!” he yelled, his voice reverberating through the walls. “How dare you sleep this late?”I seethed silently as I yanked the door open, coming face to face with the source of my ire. He glared at me with rage in his eyes. “Don’t you know how long I’ve been knocking?” he demanded,

Lilian Pov….“I’m so sorry for the delay,” the makeup artist said as we walked down the highway towards my room. “I got caught up in traffic and I didn’t want to keep you waiting.”I nodded, but my mind was elsewhere. I was thinking about the box I’d seen in Ryan’s room, the box that seemed to hold some sort of power over him. If I could get my hands on that box, I could finally set things right. I could make him pay for what he’d done.The makeup artist continued to apologize, but I barely heard her words. My focus was fixed.I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw that box again. It had been so long since I’d last seen it, and I never thought I would get the chance to hold it in my hands again. But here it was, and it felt like a gift from the universe. It was almost as if the box itself had been waiting for me to find it. I smiled to myself, a feeling of excitement and satisfaction bubbling up inside me. I knew this was going to make everything easier. My revenge would finally be in

Lilian Pov….Something had shifted inside of me – a sudden rush of confidence that I couldn’t explain. Now I knew that I wasn’t the only one who could be ordered around, and I was determined to show him that he wasn’t as powerful as he thought. I had a plan, and as soon as my hands touched that box, he would be finished. It was only the beginning of my revenge, and I could hardly wait to see the look on his face when he realized that his power was gone.The scowl on his face had been replaced by a sickly-sweet smile, and I knew immediately what he was up to. He was trying to play nice for the cameras, hoping to score some points with the press. I had to hand it to him – he was a master manipulator, and he knew exactly how to work the crowd.“I think you’ve got quite the catch, Mr. Ryan,” a guy said, a smile playing on his lips. “Your wife is beautiful, and I’m sure you’re lucky to have her. Although, if I had met her first, I might have been the one to win her over!Really? I think yo
