Spoiled by Mr Russell

Lily Christian woke up with a headache and dry mouth in the middle of the night. 

She was over the moon because she had finally created the “First Love” formula, the perfume she had worked on for many years. After winning the upcoming competition, Lily and Nathaniel Hall’s wedding would be on the agenda. 

The couple met in university, known each other for five years, and dated for three. Lily left everything behind to focus on perfume formulas and finally managed to help Nathaniel expand his company. Thinking of the beautiful future ahead, she indulged more in drinking. 

She rubbed her temples, wanting to get some water to quench her thirst. However, she heard strange noises coming from the adjacent room.

“Nate, won’t Lily hear us?” 

Although the woman’s voice was unclear, Lily was sure it belonged to someone she knew. She instantly felt disheartened.
