Chapter 111Lily's pov.“He didn't say, however, he said he will meet me at the office on Tuesday morning “, Richard said.“Finally, all of these will be over. I'm hoping the calls and the attempt on our lives are related”“I hope so too Lily .”It was finally time to go back to the reality waiting for us on land. Our yacht got to the port about 7: 30 pm. Richard's driver and my bodyguard were already waiting for us with one of Richard's Royce phantom. White in colour with a tinted glass all through. It was bullet proofed like the rest of his car. “I want to lead a simple life Lily, my parents with all their wealth, never had any. It draws attention and it is something I do not want”. He had said to me“The sound of Richard’s voice filtered through the study door, a quiet murmur, but enough to rouse me from my light slumber. It was early, still dark outside, and I could tell from the sound of his voice that he had already started his day. His routine was as methodical as ever, even

Chapter 113Richard's Pov I couldn’t believe my ears. The words hit me like a freight train, and for a moment, my entire world seemed to tilt sideways.“Wait… Are you telling me that Mark was the one behind this?” My voice came out sharper than I intended, laced with anger and disbelief. “You’ve been working for him?”Sasha stood in front of my desk, trembling. Her eyes welled up with tears, hands clasped in front of her, her voice cracking as she replied, “No, sir… Not Mark.”“Then who?”“Ma’am… Samantha.”It felt like the air got knocked out of my lungs.“Samantha?” I whispered.My ex-wife? The woman I had once shared vows with? The one I had trusted with my life and reputation?Lily stood frozen a few steps away, trying to process the information just as I was. I could hear her breathing change—shallow, disoriented.“Why would you help her, Sasha?” Lily’s voice was stern but not unkind. It carried the weight of hurt more than anger. “You’ve worked in this company for years. Richar

Chapter 115Richard's pov “The tension in the room was thick, almost suffocating. I watched in silence as my private investigator tried to maintain some level of calm. The men surrounding us, most armed and wearing the unmistakable air of experienced criminals, were anything but friendly.“Hey! Hey!! Take it easy, guys. We are not here to cause trouble,” my investigator said, his voice steady but laced with caution.One of the men, his face a mixture of scorn and disbelief, sneered. “You damn well better not.”Another man, standing with a gun raised, his finger itching near the trigger, shot back, “You better not try anything funny, dude. I’ll blow your fucking head off your neck.”The tension was palpable, each second stretching out as we waited for something—anything—to happen. My heart raced, but I kept my cool, my mind running through every possible way out of this. There were too many of them. They had the upper hand, and we were far outnumbered.From the moment this had started

Chapter 117Richard's pov I had already drifted off to sleep when Lily’s voice pierced through the stillness of the night, soft but frantic.“Richard… Richard, wake up!”My eyes snapped open to find her sitting upright in bed, the glow of her phone lighting up her face. Her brows were furrowed, and her hand trembled as she held the device.“What’s wrong? Who was that?” I asked, instantly alert.Her voice quivered. “Another one of those calls, Richard. This time, the voice said, I’m not safe… and neither are you.”I sat up quickly, pulling her into my arms. Her body was cold, shaken. I could feel her heartbeat pounding against my chest.“You’re safe, Lily. We both are,” I said firmly, brushing her hair back. “I won't let anything happen to you. Whoever that was, they're just trying to mess with your mind. Don’t let them win.”“But Richard,” she whispered, pulling back slightly to look into my eyes. “What if she is not bluffing? What if she is serious this time? What if she … actually

Chapter 119Lily's PovLife has been nothing short of peaceful for the past month. Ever since Samantha was found out and everything about her involvement in the ambush came to light, the clouds that had hung over us for so long seemed to have dissipated. We hadn’t heard anything from her or her sister. It was as if they had vanished into thin air, disappearing without a trace. Their faces, their names, were plastered everywhere now—on every “Most Wanted” poster at airports, bus stations, and news outlets.The tension in my life had finally started to ebb away. For the first time in a long while, I woke up in the morning without the weight of fear pressing on my chest. Even Richard seemed to be breathing easier. His company was thriving; the partnerships and investments he had secured since the ordeal began were more than he had ever hoped for at the start of the year.“What do you say about a weekend outing this Friday?” Richard asked as he helped me adjust my dress this morning, his
