Chapter 82Lily's Pov"I couldn’t believe my eyes. Standing in front of me, hands on his hips with that familiar smug expression, was Mark. I blinked several times, trying to process the shock of seeing him there.“Mark, what are you doing here?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. The sight of him caught me off guard, and I noticed how different he looked. His usually neat appearance was now disheveled, and there was something wild in his eyes. Something unpredictable.He smirked, eyes narrowing as he sized me up. “I see nemesis is catching up to you,” he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. “What did you think? You leave me for my boss because of his wealth, and you walk freely? It’s time to face the music, Lily.”A cold shiver ran down my spine. The last thing I needed was to cause any more problems for Richard. He was already dealing with so much at the company, and I couldn’t bear the thought of adding to his burdens. But it seemed fate had other plans for me.I looked o

Chapter 84Richard's Pov The events of yesterday—the confrontation with Sam, Lily’s involvement, and Mark’s public outburst—had left me tangled in a web of confusion and doubt. The pain Lily had endured in the wake of it all was a direct consequence of my love for her. Every moment of anguish she had faced, all the public humiliation, the judgment—it stemmed from a relationship I had fought so hard to build. My intentions with her had always been pure. Yet, despite all my efforts to protect her, it seemed our connection had only brought more turmoil into her life.I couldn’t help but reflect on the gala incident. I had worked tirelessly to keep Lily out of the spotlight, to shield her from anything that could harm her reputation. But Mark had gone too far. I couldn’t just stand by and watch him destroy her. And yet, as we arrived home, I saw the toll it had taken on her. Though she hid it well, I could see the pain in her eyes. She had defended me—slapping Mark across the face in fro

Chapter 86Richard's Pov I sat on the edge of the bed, the glow of the television casting an eerie light across the room. The remote was in my hand, but it felt almost too heavy to hold. I barely ever used the television in my room, but tonight, I had an unsettling feeling in my stomach, something gnawing at me that made it impossible to sleep. I clicked it on, expecting a few minutes of distraction, something to pull me away from my racing thoughts. What I didn’t expect was the image that filled the screen.The headline blared: The Beginning of His Downfall. My name, Richard Lyle, was boldly printed beneath it. The words stung like a slap to the face.Richard Lyle: A Failure and Incompetent in Business.I leaned in, staring at the screen, my chest tightening with each passing second. The camera cut to a live broadcast of the client—Mr. Frank—who was responsible for the project that had been tainted by the stolen rare raw materials. His face was twisted with anger, and his voice crac

Chapter 88Lily's PovI tried as hard as I could, but I couldn’t shake off the feeling that Mark was somehow involved in all of this. I didn’t want to believe it, but the thought kept creeping back into my mind. Yes, there was truth in what Richard had said about Mark not having the guts to pull off something this big. Especially with Frank going live on TV like that. If Frank were the mastermind behind this entire operation, why would he go so far as to ask Richard to end our relationship?It didn’t make sense. None of it did.My mind was clouded with questions as I made my way to the office. The drive felt longer than usual, my thoughts swirling in a whirlwind of possibilities. What could Mark have to gain from all this? Why had he been so adamant about forcing Richard and me apart? And if Frank was behind all this, what did he want, really? Was it just the stolen materials, or was it something bigger? The questions piled up, and the more I thought about it, the more unsettled I fel
