View MoreKatherine stood outside Mrs. Rojas's room, her fist trembling as she knocked lightly on the door. From inside, she heard Mrs. Rojas's calm voice inviting her in."Come in."She pushed the door open and stepped inside. Her face was a mask of frustration and barely contained anger. Mrs. Rojas looked up from her papers and immediately sensed the storm brewing within Katherine."Katherine, what’s wrong?" Mrs. Rojas asked, her voice deceptively gentle.Katherine took a deep breath, struggling to maintain her composure. "Why haven’t you allowed me to execute my plan against Lillian yet? I’ve done everything in the name of revenge, but the main target is still roaming free. It’s frustrating!"Mrs. Rojas leaned back in her chair, her eyes narrowing slightly as she regarded Katherine. "Patience, Katherine. We need to be careful with what we do. First, let's deal with your father. Once he’s out of the way, Lillian will be next."Katherine's fists clenched at her sides, her nails digging into he
The drive to the mansion was quiet, both of them lost in their thoughts. As they pulled into the driveway, Lillian felt a sense of unease settle over her. She glanced at Sebastian, who reached over to squeeze her hand reassuringly. "We’ll get through this, Lillian," he said softly. "Together." She nodded, taking a deep breath. "I know. I just hope we can figure out who’s behind all this before it’s too late." "We will," Sebastian promised. "I won’t let anything happen to you or anyone in your family again." As Lillian stepped into the mansion, she barely had time to take a breath before Katie rushed toward her, wrapping her small arms tightly around Lillian's waist. "Aunt Lillian!" Katie exclaimed, her voice filled with pure joy. "I missed you so much!" Lillian knelt, hugging Katie back just as tightly. "I missed you too, sweetheart," she whispered, feeling a swell of emotions at the sight of her niece. She glanced up to see Mrs. Rojas approaching, a curious expression on h
Lillian arrived at the family house just as the sun was setting, casting long shadows across the driveway. Her father, Mr. Alfred, was waiting at the door, his face etched with a mixture of relief and fear. He hurried down the steps to meet her, wrapping her in a tight embrace as soon as she stepped out of the cab."Lillian," he whispered, his voice trembling. "Thank God you're here. I've been so worried.""I'm here now, Dad," Lillian replied, hugging him back. "We’ll get through this together."Mr. Alfred pulled back slightly, looking into her eyes with a seriousness that sent a shiver down her spine. "I’ll protect you with my life, Lillian. But why didn't you go to your husband's house? It's not safe here."Lillian shook her head, her expression resolute. "I can't, Dad. Katherine is there. I don't want her to start hating on me again, and I can't leave you here all by yourself, what if the person who killed Rosa comes for you? I won't be able to forgive myself if anything happens to
Lillian's hand trembled as she held the phone to her ear, her father's words sending a chill down her spine. Rosa, the kind-hearted housekeeper who had been a part of their family for as long as Lillian could remember, was dead. And the circumstances of her death... they mirrored Lillian's terrifying dreams."Dad, this... this can't be a coincidence," Lillian said, her voice shaky with fear. "The balcony... it's the same place I dreamt that Katherine... that she...""I know, Lillian," her father replied, his voice strained with grief. "I've been trying to wrap my head around it, but I don't know what to think anymore. I'm scared, sweetheart. Scared for you, for Katherine, for myself."Lillian's heart clenched with a mixture of sorrow and fear. The thought that someone could be targeting their family, picking them off one by one, sent shivers down her spine."Dad, do you think... do you think it's Katherine?" Lillian asked, her voice barely above a whisper.There was a long pause on th
After being released from the hospital, Lillian returned to her small apartment in Alaska. Despite Mira's constant support, the quiet nights were filled with nothing but her thoughts. She sat by the window, staring out at the snow-covered landscape, her hand resting gently on her growing belly."Sebastian," she whispered into the empty room. "What would you say if you were here?"Days blurred together as Lillian went through the motions of daily life. She tried to focus on her work at the bookstore, but her mind always drifted back to Mexico. She could see Sebastian's face in her dreams and hear his voice in her thoughts. The longing for him was a constant ache in her chest.Lillian sat in her living room with the thought of her sister Katherine. What would Katherine think if she found out about the baby? The thought sent a shiver down her spine. Katherine had always been a volatile mix of jealousy and resentment, and Lillian could only imagine how she would react to such news.Lillia
Lillian woke up with a renewed sense of relief. She decided to run some errands and restock her fridge. The chilly Alaskan air nipped at her cheeks as she walked to the local grocery store, her thoughts filled with the events of the past few days and the comforting presence of her friend Mira.Inside the store, the familiar warmth and bustle provided a small comfort as she pushed her cart down the aisles, picking up essentials and a few items. As she reached for a box of cereal, a sudden wave of dizziness hit her. She gripped the cart tightly, trying to steady herself, but the dizziness intensified. Her vision blurred, and she felt herself collapsing to the ground.The last thing she heard before everything went black was a distant voice calling for help.***Lillian slowly regained consciousness, the sterile smell and beeping sounds of a hospital surrounding her. She blinked, trying to make sense of her surroundings, and saw a concerned nurse standing next to her."You're awake," the
Lillian stepped out of the cab, her breath visible in the crisp Alaskan air. The familiar sight of her apartment building brought a bittersweet feeling of relief and sadness. She grabbed her suitcase and walked up to the entrance, her heart heavy with the weight of everything she had left behind.Unlocking the door, she stepped inside and took a deep breath. The apartment was just as she had left it—cozy, warm, and filled with memories of a simpler time. She placed her suitcase by the door and sank onto the couch, the silence around her feeling both comforting and oppressive.After a few moments, she reached for her phone and dialed a familiar number. It rang twice before a cheerful voice answered."Lillian! Oh my gosh, you're back!" Mira exclaimed. "I wasn't expecting you! What's going on?"Lillian felt a lump form in her throat as she tried to find the right words. "Hi, Mira. Yes, I'm back. I needed to get away from Mexico for a while."Mira's tone shifted to one of concern. "Lillia
The morning sun had just begun to rise, casting a warm glow over the quiet streets as Lillian stood at the entrance of the Rojas Alvaro mansion. Her suitcase was packed and sitting at her feet, and a cab idled at the curb, waiting to take her to the airport. The air was thick with a mixture of sadness and anticipation.Sebastian stood beside her, his heart heavy. He reached out, taking her hands in his. "Lillian, are you sure about this? There has to be another way."Lillian looked into his eyes, her own filled with sorrow. "Sebastian, I have to go. Staying here is causing more pain than anything else. I need to get away, for everyone's sake."He pulled her into a tight embrace, his voice barely above a whisper. "I can’t imagine my life without you, Lillian. I love you."Lillian held him close, tears streaming down her face. "I love you too, Sebastian. But this is something I have to do. I need to find peace, and I can't do that here."They shared one last, lingering kiss, filled with
"Please," Lillian whimpered, her body shaking in anticipation. Sebastian smirked against her lips and kissed her deeply, thrusting his tongue aggressively and moving his hips into her, causing her to moan softly. The sound startled both of them, and they separated, breathing heavily. He stared intensely into Lillian's eyes, his lustful gaze matching her own. Then his eyes darkened and he pressed his lips against hers again, sliding one hand down to cup her breast through her shirt, causing Lillian to gasp quietly into the kiss. He pulled her dress over her head and tossed it aside, never ceasing the onslaught of his kisses. Lillian threw her arms around his neck, her body arching upwards towards him, desperate for his touch. She broke the kiss to throw open her shirt and pull off her bra, then she pushed Sebastian back onto her bed, straddling his muscular thighs as he slid a hand under her shorts, caressing her bare skin as he kissed her again passionately.With her clothes discarde
