Chapter 132 – The First Foot into the Enemy's Camp (Liora's POV)There was tension in the air that morning.I sat at the end of my bed, staring down at the simple clothes Lily had laid out for me to wear on my first day working for Adrian's company. Blah, professional—nothing flashy. But however plain I looked on the outside, inside my belly was a twisted ball of nerves.Today, I was on enemy territory.Simeon and Lily had been very clear about that—I was not there to do any work. I was there to listen, observe, to learn anything that would help them in taking down Adrian. But as I thought about it, a tiny piece of doubt crept into my mind.Could I really do this?I folded my hands, driving the thought out.I had no choice.Final Instructions from Lily and SimeonDownstairs, Simeon and Lily were already waiting for me. Nelson was present too, reclining on the couch, browsing his phone.Lily examined me from top to bottom, nodding in agreement. "You look ready."I wasn't as certain, bu

Chapter 134 – The Power Play(Lily's POV)The house was alive with activity, each of us immersed in our own work, but there was a strange sense of togetherness in the air. We were all working towards the same goal, though each of us was doing it in our own way.I was in the kitchen, my hands chopping rapidly as I cut vegetables, my mind wandering to everything that was happening around me. The air was thick with the scent of garlic and onions, combined with the warm spices that I had added to the pot. Cooking was always a means of clearing my head, of doing something productive, but today, it was a necessity.If we were going to fight this battle, we needed to be strong. And strength started with a full stomach.I could hear Nelson clacking away on his laptop in the living room, his fingers moving so fast over the keys that the sound was like raindrops hitting a windowpane. Occasionally, he muttered a curse under his breath, his eyes narrowed intently at the screen as he researched mo

Chapter 135: Vincent's DecisionLily's POVThe warmth of the night surrounded us as we gathered in the living room. The smell of freshly cooked food filled the air—my efforts at cooking something that everyone could enjoy. Something that I barely ever got to do anymore, what with the chaos and tension that went into closing business deals, but I was eager to make this night a little more normal. Looking around at the friendly faces of those I loved—Simeon, Nelson, Liora—it was comforting to have them all in one place, as if nothing else in the world mattered for a little while.Liora and Nelson were chatting something softly in the room corner, laughing at a joke they'd just told each other. Their laughter, so free and light, was a rare blessing. It made me smile as I set the table, setting the last dish of salad before them."Is that all?" I asked, trying to push down the little bit of nervousness I felt, even though I knew they'd be happy with the work.Liora grinned. "Lily, this is

Chapter 138 – Be Careful, NelsonLily's POVIt was a quiet afternoon, and for once, the house did not feel like a battleground. The air was peaceful, and the tension that had been present for weeks appeared to have taken a wee break. The deal with Vincent was going smoothly. He had called only two nights prior and told me that he would be in touch soon with the final papers.I had just cooked lunch—rice and hot chicken with fried plantains. The smell wafted through the house, inviting and warm. Simeon and Nelson were in the living room, both staring at their phones. Liora was out on an errand, and I took advantage of the moment to sit between the two men now that I considered them the best pillars around me.Simeon appeared relaxed, one arm draped over the back of the couch, his other hand scrolling through his phone . Nelson sat on the edge of the cushion, tapping something on his phone with a small smile on his face.I rested my head and smiled. "You've been smiling at your phone fo

Chapter: Unspoken TrustLily's POVThe moment the door shut behind Nelson, I recognized something was off. His light footsteps were replaced with a pause I had not previously seen. He came in, his gaze on me with a mixture of determination and uncertainty. Simeon leaned against the kitchen counter, his usually calm expression not quite as sharp tonight, behind him.Nelson's eyes locked on mine as he walked towards the couch, the tension between us heavy. My chest was aching just to glance at him, wondering what news he'd brought."Lily," he began, his voice uncertain, "I have to talk with you and Simeon about something."Simeon didn't move, simply sitting there with a quiet attention. I stayed in the doorway to the kitchen, glancing over at the two of them, waiting. My hands were still wrapped around a glass of water that I hadn't even known I'd picked up. I put it down hastily."What is it?" I snapped more harshly than I intended.Nelson took a breath and brushed a hand over his hair
