Chapter 102Richard's Pov My mind couldn’t settle. It kept spinning, relentlessly turning over every possible theory, every possible face, every person I had encountered in the last few months. Who could possibly want me and Lily dead because of our relationship? Was it Mark? Sam? One of the numerous women who had tried to insinuate themselves into my life over the years? Or was it someone entirely different—someone whose presence I hadn’t even noticed?The questions swirled, and yet no answers seemed clear. All I knew was that whoever was behind this had gone too far. A gunshot, a cryptic message, and now another ominous call. It wasn’t just about a random threat anymore. It felt personal. And personal meant dangerous.The attack last night was the wake-up call. We weren’t just being followed; we were being hunted. And the shadow that had been lurking in the corners of our lives had finally stepped into the light. Whoever this was, they were willing to go to any length to make sure

Chapter 104Lily's PovA few days ago, Richard came home looking more frustrated than I had ever seen him. His usual composed demeanor was shattered, replaced by an intensity I hadn’t quite witnessed before. He stormed through the door, his jaw clenched, and when I met his gaze, I could feel the weight of something dark hanging in the air. He was upset, and it was more than just a bad day. Something big had happened.Without saying a word, he walked straight into the living room and collapsed onto the sofa, running a hand through his hair. I could sense the storm brewing inside him. He was the kind of man who rarely showed vulnerability, but this time, there was no hiding it.“What’s wrong?” I asked, my voice soft, but filled with concern. It wasn’t often that Richard let his guard down, so I knew this had to be serious.He let out a frustrated sigh, then threw his hands up in exasperation. “Damn! We lost the only freaking lead we had to finding out who the heck wanted us out of the w

Chapter 106Lily's PovMy heart raced as the phone call ended, the screen of my phone staring back at me with nothing but the lingering silence. “Hello? Mark?” I tried again, my voice tight with uncertainty. The voice on the other end had been distorted, muffled, and completely unrecognizable, but there was something eerily familiar about it. I couldn’t place it, but something deep inside me told me I’d heard that voice before.I waited, hoping for some response. But all I got was the same dead silence.I felt a chill sweep through me as I ended the call, staring at the phone screen. Four times. This was the fourth time I had received a call like this in the past few days—unfamiliar numbers, all followed by silence. What the hell was going on?“Who was that?” Mia’s voice cut through the silence,her brows furrowed in concern.I shook my head, still trying to process everything. “I seriously don’t know who the heck that was.” My voice cracked slightly, frustration and fear boiling under

Chapter 108Lily's pov By the time we reached the port, the evening sky had begun to change colors, a breathtaking fusion of pink, orange, and violet casting a soft, romantic glow over the water. The warm hues of the sunset danced across the ocean, painting the horizon in a way that seemed almost unreal. The air was still and gentle, the soft breeze carrying the sweet scent of salt and the promise of a peaceful evening. For the first time in what felt like forever, I allowed myself to breathe deeply, to fully take in the beauty around me.The past few days had been overwhelming. The constant worry, the never-ending tension, the fear of what was lurking just around the corner. But now, here I was, standing on the edge of the world, or so it seemed, about to embark on a weekend getaway that promised nothing but peace and serenity.Richard’s private yacht gleamed under the setting sun, sleek and modern, a magnificent sight against the backdrop of the twilight sky. The lights along the

Chapter 110Lily's pov The last day of our romantic cruise had arrived too soon. The days we had spent out on the open sea, far away from everything that had haunted us back on land, felt like a dream. The warm sun, the endless ocean, the soft lull of the boat gliding through the water—it had been everything I needed. A reprieve. A break. A chance to be with Richard in a way that felt like it was just us against the world. But now, standing on the bow of the yacht with the golden light of the setting sun casting a soft glow on the water, I could feel the weight of the reality waiting for us back on land.Yet, for now, I pushed it all aside. I wanted to savor this moment, this last evening with Richard, and not let the looming future steal what we had here.The dolphins we had watched earlier that day were now long gone, their sleek bodies disappearing into the vastness of the ocean. Their presence had been brief, but beautiful. The sight of them had lifted my heart in a way nothing e
