Chapter 12“Not like that, Mia. It’s a business dinner,” I said, though the words didn’t feel as convincing as they should have.She raised her eyebrows. “Business dinner, huh? Then why do I feel like something else is going on? Just be yourself, Lilly. You’ve got this.”I smiled, feeling a little more confident with her support. “Thanks, Mia. You’re right. I just don’t want to mess this up.”When the doorbell rang at exactly 7 pm, I nearly jumped out of my skin. I was ready—nervous but ready. I looked at Mia who encouragely smiled at me . “You have got this Lilly. Don't think of anything or anyone else tonight . Just enjoy yourself “ she said as she gave me a hug.”“Thank you Mia. What would I have done without you in my life?”“Absolutely nothing. She said with a smile. Now run along. You don't wanna keep Mr charming waiting,’ She teased As I opened the door, the driver greeted me with a polite smile.“Good evening, Miss Lilly. Mr. Lyle is expecting you,” he said.I nodded, stepp

Chapter 13 Lilly's pov By the time dinner was over, it was nearly 9 p.m., and Richard offered to drive me home. I didn’t want to admit it, but I was grateful for the company. The evening had been filled with so much unexpected warmth and ease, and I wasn’t ready for it to end just yet. I wasn’t ready to say goodbye.As we stood by his car, I turned to him, my thoughts swirling like a whirlwind. “Thank you for dinner,” I said, my voice soft.Richard nodded, his smile lingering, but there was something else in his eyes now—a quiet intensity that made my heart flutter. It was like I could see a different side of him, one that wasn’t about business or authority. “It was my pleasure, Lily,” he said, his tone unexpectedly tender. “And remember, I’ll be here when you’re ready.”Before I could gather my thoughts, the driver opened the door for us. I climbed into the car, and Richard followed, settling next to me. As we began the drive to my house, the silence in the car was thick with unspo

Chapter 15Mark's povSeeing Lilly with Richard constantly had triggered something in me that I hadn’t expected. Was it jealousy? Or love? The answer remained unclear, but one thing was for sure—I couldn’t stand the sight of her with him. From the moment she had accepted Richard’s job offer, I had tried everything to stop her, but nothing worked. And it frustrated me to no end.Lilly had changed overnight. The woman I once knew, the woman who listened to me without question, who obeyed me without hesitation, was now someone else. She talked back to me—confidently, too. It was as if my every word had lost all weight with her. And that bothered me more than I cared to admit.Yes, I had broken up with her. But how could I just let her move on, especially with someone like Richard? Not just any man, but Richard Lyle—the filthy billionaire, my boss, and one of the most influential men in the business world. Since Lilly started working with him, I hadn’t been able to find a moment of peace.

Chapter 17Lilly's pov “Is something wrong mia?” I asked, my voice laced with concern.”She shook her head, her fingers still hovering over the phone screen. “Why the heck is he calling me? And I can't believe he still has my contact.”I raised an eyebrow,”who is that?.”“Your ex, of course?” she said.She sighed, her grip tightening around the phone. “Mark? That damn fool. What the heck does he want with you?” I couldn’t hide my surprise. “I’m as shocked as you are,” Mia muttered, glancing at the phone again as if hoping it would disappear.I leaned forward. “Are you gonna take the call?”Mia shook her head fiercely. “What for? He can call as much as he wants, but I’m not gonna take his call for anything in the world.”I could see the frustration and unease in her eyes. “He was here very late at night,” I added after a pause.“What? And you opened up for him?” she asked, stunned. “Did he try to hurt you? Did he say anything to you?” her voice rose immediately, her concern for me t

Chapter 19Lilly's pov I stepped into the soft glow of my bedroom mirror, my heart pounding with anticipation. Dressed in a v-neck velvet red dress that clung to my figure just right, paired with silver shoes that sparkled under the light, I felt like someone else entirely. The silver heart-shaped purse I held in my hand shimmered with each movement, and my drop earrings swayed delicately as I turned my head. Mia had worked her magic on my hair, styling it in loose waves that framed my face perfectly, and my silver wristwatch caught the light in a way that made me feel elegant, yet effortless.As I took one last look at myself, I could feel the excitement and nerves bubbling in my stomach. Tonight was the night. Richard had made dinner plans, and everything seemed too perfect. But the truth was, I still couldn’t shake the butterflies every time I thought of him. Was I ready to step into this new chapter?I heard a knock on the door, breaking my thoughts, and I quickly made my way t
