Chapter One hundred and fifty two : Just the Two of Us(Lily's POV)I had just cooked. The aroma filled the whole kitchen—grilled chicken, spicy sauce, and fried rice, Nelson's favorite. I had observed he was quiet of late. He did not laugh as much, did not smile as much. Since that message regarding Camila and the faked emergency, I knew he was troubled. Maybe food could get him to open up.I laid the food daintily on a tray and entered the living room where he sat on the couch, looking at his phone. The TV was on but he wasn't watching it. "Hey," I spoke softly with a smile. "I made your favorite."He looked up and a small smile appeared on his face. "Thanks, Lily. You always know what I need."I sat beside him and gave him the tray. He started to eat slowly.We didn't say a word for a couple of minutes. Just the muted sound of the spoon and the quiet hum from the TV. Then I took a good look at him. He looked weary—not just physically, but also in his heart."Nelson," I said slowly

Chapter 154 : The Picture That Changed EverythingLily's POVThe afternoon sun cast a warm glow through the windows as we remained in the living room. Simeon was on the phone, fingers moving quickly. Nelson was across from him, looking at the floor, while Leora had a sip of tea in silence next to me.Simeon's phone suddenly buzzed. He looked at the screen, and his face immediately altered."Deji just sent something," he said, voice tight.He opened the message and we all clustered in silence. The picture revealed a woman at the hospital reception speaking to the receptionists. My heart jumped."That's… Camila," I gasped, recognizing her immediately."What? Let me see," Nelson's head snapped up.He grabbed the phone from Simeon and looked at the photo. "No, it can't be. She told me she was at home the entire time."Leora leaned in closer. "Are you sure it's her?"Simeon nodded. "Deji explained to me that she was attempting to convince the hospital staff to report Camila was taken in if

Chapter 155: The Surprise KissPOV: LeoraThe house was quiet that evening. I had just come home from work, but my mind wasn't quiet at all. Everything felt strange nowadays. Camila's message, her deceit, and this wonderful scheme we were all cooking up—it was all so much to handle sometimes. I was tired, but I couldn't get Nelson out of my head. He worried all day long. I knew his heart was soft, and no matter how hard he tried to be macho, I could see through him.I went to the kitchen and made him a hot drink—ginger and honey tea, his favorite way. I did not know why I was doing this, but something inside me told me he needed comfort. Maybe I also needed a reason to sit next to him, just this once. I told myself that it was nothing serious. I just wanted to talk.When I opened the door, he was over at the foot of his bed. His face was crumpled downwards, his hand grasping his phone. I noticed that he was re-reading Camila's message. I stood quietly at the entrance for a moment."Ne

Chapter 158: The Silent InvestigationPOV: LeoraI'd never seen Adrian like this. His usual calm was shattered, replaced by furious, near-volatile tension. My heart pounding, I stood and watched him pace back and forth across his office, his face twisted in rage."They're leaking information," he muttered, half under his breath, his voice one of fury and incredulity. "There's a traitor in this company. I will find them."I couldn't help but feel the chill of his words. The tension hung heavy in the air, like a storm just before lightning. My fingers cramped involuntarily as I clutched the edge of my desk. The last thing I wanted was to become embroiled in whatever was brewing.He ceased his pacing and turned suddenly to confront his men, standing by the door. They were waiting for instructions from him. His eyes were icy, knife-sharp, and calculating."I need all phones screened," Adrian ordered, his tone hard and unyielding. "No exceptions."The force of his words struck me like a pu

Chapter 160: The Call of the CompanyIn the Apartment: Storm Before the StormThe apartment was filled with warm conversation, a relief after the tension which had hovered over the past couple of days. Leora, Nelson, Simeon, and Lily sat around, sipping drinks and talking about nothing in particular — anything to divert their minds away from the imminent storm.Leora couldn't help but get a tight feeling in her chest. While her friends were chatting and laughing, she was unable to enjoy the moment. Her thoughts repeatedly drifted back to Adrian and the growing suspicion that someone was watching her. Her heart skipped a beat each time her phone beeped, thinking it was him. She couldn't help but feel like her time was up.Nelson was mentioning something mundane — a new restaurant that had opened up, and what the food critic had reviewed in rave writings about it — but Leora hardly heard the words. She was elsewhere, in a reverie, when suddenly the clear peal of the phone rang through t
