Lily's POV.I woke up to the sound of steady breathing beside me. The first thing I felt was warmth…his warmth. My heart pounded as my eyes fluttered open, and there he was.Ashton Carter. My boss. The ruthless CEO everyone feared. The man I had worked for, admired, and secretly loved for two years. And last night… last night, he was mine.I could hardly believe it.The memories hit me in waves…working late after the office emptied out, the unexpected invitation for drinks, the way my heart raced when he leaned in, his lips brushing against mine in the back seat of his car. His driver was right there in the front, but I barely had time to think before everything spiraled.And now, here we were.I turned my head slowly, careful not to wake him. He looked different in sleep…less cold, less terrifying. His dark lashes rested against his sharp cheekbones, his lips slightly parted. It felt surreal, like a dream I’d wake up from any moment.I swallowed hard, fighting the urge to giggle.How

Lily's POV.My hands shook as I gripped the letter, my heart hammering against my ribs. This had to be some kind of joke. A mistake.I forced myself to look up at him, my voice unsteady. "Why?" My throat tightened. "Why are you firing me?"Ashton finally turned to face me, his expression blank, unreadable. There wasn’t a trace of warmth, not a sign of anything. Just emptiness."You’re no longer needed." His voice was sharp, cutting through me like a blade.I took a shaky step forward. "I’m not incompetent, and you know it," I said, my voice rising. "I’ve put up with everything these past two years. I’ve worked my ass off for you, and now you’re firing me?"His gaze didn't waver. "Yes."A cold wave washed over me.I let out a short, humorless laugh, disbelief twisting in my stomach. "How dare you," I whispered. "How dare you do this to me after last night?"Something flashed in his eyes…so quick I almost missed it…but then it was gone."It was a mistake," he said, his tone clipped, una

Lily's POVTwo weeks later.A loud banging on the door jolted me from sleep.I sat up quickly, my heart pounding, my eyes struggling to adjust to the low light filtering through the curtains. The pounding continued, sharp and relentless.“Lily!” a deep voice boomed. “Open this door right now!”My landlord.Panic shot through me. I scrambled off the couch, my legs unsteady. The coffee table was littered with empty takeout containers, crumpled napkins, and half-empty cups. The air in the apartment was stale, thick with the scent of leftover food and something sour I didn’t want to identify.I rushed to the door, fumbling with the lock before yanking it open.My landlord, Mr. Harris, stood on the other side, his thick arms crossed over his chest, his expression tight with irritation. He was a large man in his late fifties, his face weathered from years of dealing with tenants like me…tenants who owed him money.“You’re two weeks late on rent,” he said, his voice edged with impatience. “I

Lily's POV.The walk home felt longer than usual. My mind was spinning, my body running on autopilot. The doctor’s words played over and over in my head, each repetition making my chest tighten.I was pregnant.With Ashton’s child.The thought made my stomach turn. One night. That was all it had taken. One night of weakness, of giving in to emotions I hadn’t even fully understood. I had given him everything…my innocence, my heart…and in return, he had crushed me without a second thought.I stepped into my apartment, shutting the door behind me. The silence was suffocating. My gaze swept over the mess…the empty food containers, the unmade bed, the clothes scattered everywhere. My life was already a disaster, and now this?I ran a shaky hand through my hair, my breath uneven.Ashton had thrown me out of his life like I was nothing. Fired me. Humiliated me. Had his security drag me out of his office as if I was some intruder. And that same evening, he had gotten engaged. To Valerie Monro

Ashton's POV.I almost didn’t believe my eyes.Four years. Four damn years of searching, of frustration, of hitting dead ends. And now, here she was. Standing in the middle of the airport, looking even more breathtaking than I ever remembered.Lily.My chest tightened. I had imagined this moment a thousand times, but not like this. She wasn’t supposed to appear out of nowhere, dressed in that elegant suit, her hair neatly styled, confidence radiating off her like a shield. She wasn’t supposed to look right past me like I was a complete stranger.I barely heard my P.A. speaking beside me. My mind tuned out everything else…the purpose of my visit here, the men standing at my sides, the business associate we were waiting to receive. All of it blurred into the background the second I saw her.And then, my eyes shifted to the child holding her hand.A boy. No older than four.Something sharp lodged itself in my chest. I felt it in my throat, thick and suffocating. My brain scrambled for lo
