Chapter 101 Simeon’s Desperation Lily's POVPain. That was all I could perceive.A searing, deep pain in my belly. It was engulfing me like fire, making it hard to breathe, hard to think. My body was so heavy, as if I were sinking into the earth.I heard voices—I heard Simeon's voice. He was shouting. Panicked. Desperate."Wake up, Lily! Don't you dare shut your eyes!"I had to answer him, to tell him I was doing my best, but my lips were glued together. Everything felt far away, like I was trapped in a nightmare. My eyelids felt like they weighed an ounce.No, I was not going to shut them. I had to stay awake.I blinked slowly, and for a moment, I could see Nelson.He was being held by someone else, his head falling to one side. His face was white as snow, his eyes barely open. He tried to say something, but he couldn't.Blood. There was so much blood.It was covering him. Covering me. Covering Simeon.I attempted to raise my hand, to grab Nelson, but my body wouldn't cooperate.Th

Chapter One hundred and three: A New BeginningSimeon's POVThe car ride home was quiet, but quiet in a peaceful way, not strained like it used to be. I sat in the back with Lily, my arm still around her in case she needed me again. Nelson drove, his eyes fixed on the road, though I could tell he was daydreaming.Lily had finally recovered, and in spite of everything that had happened, I still couldn't believe we were all intact. The hospital had tried their best. Nelson's wounds had been treated, and Lily's injury, painful as it was, wasn't as bad as we had feared. She was going to be fine.And now, after all of that. we were going home.But there was still something that had yet to be settled.Nelson hadn't spoken to me a word about what went down on the battlefield. He hadn't mentioned the battle, the way I nearly killed him, or the way he had pleaded for his life. I didn't fault him—it wasn't something you could easily discuss. But I knew we couldn't keep avoiding it.So I waited.

Chapter One Hunredd and Five: A Freah StartLily's POVThe morning wind was chilly with the scent of damp earth and the distant scent of burning wood from the neighbor's houses. The sun wasn't high yet, so soft golden lights glowed all over the village. The scene was peaceful, but inside me, something enormous is about to change.Simeon had just announced something that left me speechless.“We’re leaving this place,” he said, his deep voice calm yet firm. “All of us. We’re moving to the city to start a new life.”For a moment, silence filled the room.I looked at Nelson, my chest racing. His eyes were shocked, and I could tell what was racing through his mind. This was the only life he had known. This is where we had lived, suffered, and thrived. And yet, at the same time, I knew that he too had been looking forward to a new beginning—like me."Are… are you serious?" Nelson finally voiced, his words a soft whisper.Simeon nodded. "Yes. It's time to move on."A knot filled my throat.

Chapter One Hundred And Six : A New Beginning Lily's POV The city air in the morning was something different—lighter, fresher, bursting with the energy of a city that never slept. Stepping out of the hotel with Simeon and Nelson, I felt like I was entering a new life. A new life free from the violence, the struggles of the past, and the constant battles for survival. Simeon had made up his mind—we were leaving, starting over. And that meant going to his company. I already knew that Simeon was rich. But Nelson was still in shock. Even as we entered the black SUV that we had been waiting in, he kept looking at Simeon as if he was seeing him for the first time. You're saying," Nelson said slowly, "that the whole time you had all that? You've been living like a king and we were stuck in that dump?" Simeon grinned, revving the engine. "I didn't say I was struggling." Nelson sneered. "Yeah, but you also never said you were a damn billionaire.". I chuckled. I was not shocked. I had se

Chapter One Hundred and Nine : Painful Lily's POVI had never been more determined in my life.I had been working for weeks day and night on this project, putting in every ounce of energy and effort I had. Every report, every proposal, every presentation—I had gone over them more times than I could count. And the reason was simple.Adrian.My ex-husband's company was bidding on the same project, and I was not about to let him have it. This was not business to me—it was personal.I had to prove that I was not the same woman whom he used to dominate. I had to prove to Simeon that I was not just his secretary—I was an equal worker to stand alongside him.I had pulled late hours, lost sleep, and labored more than I ever did. And now, today was the day. The final meeting. The decision that would determine it all.I took a deep breath as I stood beside Simeon and Nelson outside the big conference hall. Tension was in the air. We had done all the groundwork that we could. Now it was time to
