How?"Liam stepped even closer, above him. his fragrance -mahing colon and cold steel - influenced her senses, causing her dizziness. His silver-gray eyes were rigid, unmatched."By marrying me."The room seemed to be inclined.Lily stumbled back. "Marry you?" Her voice exploded with mistrust. "You can't be serious."His lips became curved, but there was no heat in his smile. "Deadly serious.""But I - I don't even know you!""You know a lot."

Liam's cold gaze intensified, narrow with suspicion. "Is it true?" "No!" Lily retreated, shaking her head. "They are lying. I am a lily Harper. I swear-" But even when words left her lips, the memories gnawed in her mind. faint. Remote. Buried for years. "Lily," Adrian's voice became softened, but her eyes shone with something else curiosity, calculation. "If you are not telling us something there, then you need to say it now." "I don't know what they are talking about!" He insisted, but his voice erupted uncertainty. Liam stepped closer, her appearance became heavy, her silver gray eyes piercing her soul.

Lily's breath got stuck in her neck. Her mother live. Standing at Liam's gates, he thought that he had ended years ago. "No ..." he whispered, stumbled back. Her legs hit the side of the couch, forcing her to sit. Liam removed the tablet, her silver eyes never leave her face. "You look surprised. you didn't expect a family reunion?"

When blood stained their hands and life was shattered. "Lily," Liam's voice put her back. "I want answers. Now." He nodded his head, unable to make words. How can she explain that she does not understand herself? "Bring her in," Liam ordered Lily to Adrian without another look. "No!" Lily shot her feet. "wait-" But it was too late. Adrian had already left. Lily turned to Liam, her chest was growing nervous. "You can't just-" "I can and I will," Liam cut her off

The sound of Lily’s shoes clicking against the marble floor echoed in the vast, empty hallway of Liam’s mansion. The grand staircase spiraled upwards in front of her, a towering testament to wealth and power. She couldn’t stop her hands from shaking as she clutched her suitcase tighter, the weight of the world on her shoulders. She had never imagined herself walking into a place like this, let alone living in it.The mansion was overwhelming in its opulence every inch of it a symbol of Liam’s success, his dominance.

Lily stood by the grand window of Liam’s penthouse, staring out at the sprawling city below. The city lights shimmered in the distance like a sea of stars, their glow illuminating the streets, but to her, the view felt distant unreal. She could see the skyline stretching far into the horizon, a cold, detached beauty, yet it was nothing compared to the turmoil brewing in her mind.

The fake engagement, the cameras that followed her every move, the constant reminders that she was nothing more than a pawn in Liam Montgomery’s well-planned game
