Jabco nodded. “She called me right after. Said you’d been in an accident, and I...” He stopped mid-sentence, shaking his head as if to chase away the memory. “I couldn’t sleep. I booked the first flight out here this morning.” He had gone out of the city yesterday for business.“You didn’t have to...” Lily began, but Jabco cut her off.“Don’t say that,” he said sharply, then his tone softened, guilt flickering across his face. “Lily, when I heard you were hurt, I…” He paused again, his voice trembling a little.He stopped himself abruptly, realizing what he was about to say, and looked down at his hands.Noah’s eyes widened slightly at his words, then she turned to look at Lily with an expression that was half amusement and half shock.Lily, however, just looked away awkwardly. Her fingers twisted the edge of the blanket. Her heart thudded quietly in her chest.She cleared her throat, trying to steer the topic away. “It wasn’t that serious, really. I just got a few scratches, that’s a

“What are you talking about?” Lily’s voice went small when Mia told her who was behind the crash. Her mind refused to catch up at first, someone would do this over work? It felt impossible.“Yes. It was Lina,” Mia said, very quietly. She had come to the hospital to tell Lily everything. She sat close, hands clasped, as she explained the pieces that made no sense alone but fit together now.“She got angry after you made Livia the main model,” Mia went on. “Lina couldn’t handle losing the spot. She hired people to follow you and Noah. She says she only meant to scare you at first, to threaten you… but she admits she wanted to hurt you. Even kill you, if it came to that.” Mia’s voice shook a little. The words felt ugly in the sterile air of the ward.Lily stared at her, stunned. How could someone go that far for a position? Her chest felt hollow and cold. Images from the day, the screech of metal, the sudden impact, came back in flashes. Her hands trembled.At that moment Jabco and a pol

“Miss Blackwood, you should leave,” David said suddenly after Lily finished eating and he set the food box aside.His tone was firm, almost commanding, as if he’d already decided for everyone in the room. “I see you’re hurt too, and now that I’m here, I’ll take care of my wife. You can rest. Thank you for taking care of Lily.”Noah blinked at him, momentarily stunned by his audacity. Then her face hardened. “I can’t leave Lily,” she snapped back immediately. “You should leave. I’ll take care of my friend.”David’s eyes darkened, his expression tightening like a coiled spring. “Why can’t you leave Lily? I’m her husband,” he shot back, voice rising, anger slipping through every word.“That’s exactly why I can’t leave her,” Noah fired, standing her ground without a flinch. “I don’t believe you.”The air between them thickened. Her eyes were steady on him, sharp and burning with anger. She didn’t even blink. Her voice trembled slightly not from fear, but from pure emotion. There was so mu

David Hardison was not the kind of man to sleep in a hospital chair. Not for anyone, and definitely not for her. He hated discomfort, hated sleepless nights, hated hospitals. And yet here he was slumped forward in an awkward position, his arm still clutching her hand, his hair a little messy, the faint shadow of exhaustion under his eyes.Why? she thought again. Why are you doing this, David? What changed?She slowly tried to pull her hand away from his grasp, careful not to wake him, but the moment her fingers slipped from his, David’s eyes snapped open. He sat up abruptly, like a man waking from a nightmare.Their eyes met.For a second, neither of them said a word. His gaze softened as he looked at her, his tense shoulders easing almost instantly. “You should’ve woken me up,” he said quietly, his voice rough and tired.Lily’s lips pressed together. She didn’t want to talk about it. She didn’t even want to think about how tightly he’d been holding her hand. Instead, she ignored his

David’s eyes darkened again, frustration clawing at his restraint. “You can scream, curse, or run all you want, Lily. But you’re not leaving me. Never.”“Watch me,” she hissed.He straightened up, looking down at her one last time. “Fine,” he said, voice tight with anger. “You want freedom so badly? Earn it. Stay for a month prove that walking away is really what you want.”Lily turned her head sharply toward the window, blinking away the sting in her eyes. “You’ll regret this,” she said quietly.David’s expression softened for a moment, the fury dimming into something almost sorrowful. “I already do,” he whispered.Then he turned and walked to the window, his back rigid, his hands clenched. The silence in the room stretched long and heavy.Lily pressed her palm against her chest, trying to steady her heart. It hurt more than she wanted to admit. Every time he got close, every time he said her name in that rough, broken tone, it tore through the walls she’d built. But she wouldn’t giv
