That night, Lily paced nervously in the living room, her anxiety growing with every passing second. Her thoughts raced as she tried to figure out how she would explain everything to Ethan when he got home, She knew she had messed up again.

The previous night, after they had reconciled, Ethan had been clear about one thing–the was to take bodyguards with her whenever she left the house. He wasn’t being overprotective, he was being reasonable. But Lily, in her usual stubbornness and overconfidence, had disregarded his instructions

She had assumed that, after issuing a warning to the Miller Family, she was safe. What could possibly go wrong? Unfortunately, reality had proven her wrong. It was pure luck–or fate–that Pedro had saved her in

time.

Now, as she waited for Ethan to return, all she could think about was how to apologize. He had been upset the first time she disobeyed him, would he forgive her for doing it again?

Lost in her thoughts, Lily almost jumped when the doorbell rang. The sound snapped her back to the present. With her heart pounding in her chest, she made her way to the door, her hands trembling slightly as she opened it.

Ethan stepped inside, his expression soft and warm. “Hello, baby,” he greeted her, leaning in to place a gentle kiss on her forehead.

She managed a weak smile in return, watching as he walked past her and into their bedroom to take a shower. Left alone in the living room, Lily sat down and wrestled with her thoughts. She needed to tell him what had happened, but how?

Minutes later, Ethan emerged from the bedroom, freshly showered, and sat on the couch. Lily hesitated for -a moment before gathering her courage and sitting beside him.

Ethan immediately wrapped an arm around her and pulled her close. Resting his chin on her head, he asked softly, “You seem tense. Is everything okay?”
