RETURN OF THE GHOST

Lily’s POV“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Calderm City. The local time is 9:45 a.m. Please remain seated until the seatbelt sign is switched off.”The hostess’s voice came through the speakers, and everyone around me started moving, unbuckling seatbelts and reaching for their bags. I sat still for a moment, staring at the seat in front of me. My chest felt tight, reminding me that this was it. I was really back.When the light finally went off, I got up slowly, clutching my latest Louis Vuitton handbag close to me. The people around me looked normal, tired parents with kids, businesspeople scrolling through their phones, tourists carrying neck pillows. Nobody knew that for me, this wasn’t just another flight. This was me walking back into the past I had been running from for five years.Stepping out of the plane, the rush of air from the jet bridge hit me. My heart thudded harder. Calderm City. The city where I had once been happy. The city where I had lost everything. The city whe

A DANGEROUS PROXIMITY

Lily’s POV Three Weeks Later “Are you sure about this, ma’am?” Charles asked for what felt like the millionth time today. I walked out of my room, heading downstairs in my red pump heels that matched my fitted black corporate dress that showed off my figures. My fingers brushed through my long black hair as I pulled some strands to the side. I was wearing Gucci, but I made sure it wasn’t from one of the most expensive collections I had purchased recently. Charles trailed behind me, holding my phones, while one of the housekeepers carried my bag. “For the millionth time, Charles, I know what I’m doing. You don’t need to worry about anything,” I said, grabbing my bag from the housekeeper before heading toward the car parked in the garage. Charles held the car door open for me and waited until I settled in before handing me my phones. The chauffeur had been laid off because I didn’t want Adrian or anyone else seeing him around. It would look suspicious for someone with as much we

The Enemy’s Pull

Lily’s POV“Sir…” I whispered, but he didn’t let me finish. His lips crashed against mine again, harder this time, and his hands slid under my dress. My back hit the cold wall of the stall, and I shivered from the way he was touching me.He spun me around and bent me over, my palms landing on the water cistern to steady myself. His hand gripped my hip firmly as if he didn’t trust me to stand on my own. The sound of his zipper coming undone filled the small space, and then without a moment’s hesitation, he thrust into me from behind.I gasped loudly, biting down on my lip to keep from screaming his name. He filled me completely, and for a split second, I forgot about revenge, forgot about pain. I literally forgot everything.His thrusts were strong, rough, yet controlled. Each one slammed into me with a force that made my legs shake. The sound of our bodies colliding echoed through the restroom, mixing with my moans that I couldn’t hold back anymore. My hand gripped the cistern so tigh

DAMIAN’S RETURN

Lily’s POVI was walking down the company’s lobby, heading toward the logistics department, when I stumbled upon a chaotic scene. People were scattered everywhere. Some stood with their phones raised, recording, while others whispered quickly, passing gossip like it was fresh bread from the oven. I frowned, trying to make sense of what was happening, but all I caught were repeated words, the same words being passed from one person to another.“Where is he?!”The voice was loud, deep, and angry. I turned around, searching for the owner of that voice, but I couldn’t see him at first. Just as I was about to ask a coworker what was going on, the man appeared from nowhere. And to my greatest shock, it was the last person I expected to see. My body froze, my chest tightening.Was I seeing a ghost? Was I dead too? Could he have come back from the grave?“I said, where is your boss?!” the young man roared again, grabbing one of the security men by the collar. The guard tried to restrain him,

A FORBIDDEN TRIANGLE

Lily’s POV“You missed work today, ma’am?” Charles asked as he shut the door behind him. He walked into my room, holding the file I had requested earlier.“I called in sick,” I replied, grabbing the file from his hands and opening it quickly. It contained detailed information about Adrian’s whereabouts and the recent calls he had made.“Where is Damian?” I asked without looking up, my eyes still glued to the paper in my hands.“He is in the guest room, ma’am.”I nodded. “You may leave.”He turned to walk out, but I immediately stopped him.“Charles.”He turned back, his attention once again on me.“You did a good job with the farmland. Thank you.”He smiled. “You’re welcome. I’ll be downstairs if you need me.”I smiled back faintly before tossing the paper away. There was nothing useful in it. Nothing important. Only God knew what Adrian was really up to and how he kept managing to hide his evil deeds.I stood up and made my way to the guest room. My head was everywhere at once, crowd

Aftermath

Lily’s POVI woke up to beeping sounds I could not make out. My eyes felt too heavy to open all at once, but I forced them apart slowly and looked around. Strange faces I had never seen moved to and fro at every corner of the room. The air smelled of antiseptic and medicine. That smell gave me a small clue about where I was.My fingers felt like they had been on a long vacation and had not yet come back. I moved them, one by one, then used both hands to push myself up.“How did I get here?” I asked the pretty woman who was busy with different bottles and containers on the table by my bed.She startled and turned toward me. “You are awake!” she said softly, as if she had not expected me to be up so soon.I raised an eyebrow and waited for her to explain.“You were rushed in by your boyfriend,” she said.My mouth made a disgusted shape. “My boyfriend?” I asked. My brows tightened.“Yes. Damian Cole,” she answered with a small smile.Oh. Damian. I tried to force the memory to fit. Damian
