The next morning, Lily woke up with a soft smile gracing her lips. Sunlight filtered through the curtains, warming

her face. She stretched her tired body and glanced around the room, searching for her husband. Her gaze landed

on the clock, and her eyes widened in shock.

“Oh no!” she muttered, realizing it was already past two in the afternoon. She had slept through the entire

morning. Throwing on Ethan's shirt, which was lying nearby, she winced slightly as her body ached with every

step.

Descending the stairs carefully, she looked around for Ethan, only to feel a pair of strong arms wrap around her

waist from behind.

“You're finally awake,” Ethan’s deep voice murmured against her ear before he playfully nipped her earlobe.

Lily giggled and turned around, wrapping her arms around his neck. She leaned in and pressed a soft kiss on his

lips. “Why didn’t you wakeup earlier?”

“How could | wake you when you were sleeping so peacefully? You looked like you were having the sweetest

dreams,” Ethan teased, his lips curling into a smirk.

Lily arched an eyebrow. “Oh, | did have a dream... but it wasn’t about you.”

Ethan's playful demeanor faltered slightly. “Oh really? Then who was it about?”

“That hot actor from the movie we watched last week. You know, the one with those striking eyes and perfect

abs-mmph!”

Before she could finish, Ethan silenced her with a searing kiss, pulling her closer. When he finally released her,

his voice was low and teasing. “Who was it again? Say it one more time.”

Lily's face flushed red as she stammered, “N-No one! | was just joking!”

But Ethan wasn't letting her off the hook so easily. With a mischievous glint in his eyes, he began unbuttoning his

shirt. “Well, | suppose I'll just have to remind my wife who the most handsman in her life really is.”

Lily’s eyes widened, and she grabbed his hand before he could go any further. “Ethan, stop! | was just teasing!

You're the most handsman I've ever seen, okay?”

Satisfied with her answer, Ethan chuckled and pulled her into another brief kiss. But their moment was

interrupted by the loud growl of Lily’s stomach.

Ethan laughed heartily. “Alright, Mrs. Ethan, let's get you fed before you start bitingout of hunger.”

He effortlessly scooped her up in his arms and carried her to the dining table, where a spread of delicious dishes

awaited them. Sitting her on his lap, they began feeding each other, sharing laughter, playful banter, and stolen

kisses.

In those moments, the weight of the past felt distant, and all that remained was the warmth of their love and the

joy of being together.

After lunch, Ethan and Lily settled comfortably on the couch. Ethan's arm was wrapped protectively around her

shoulders as she leaned against him. After a brief silence, he spoke up, his voice calm but serious.

“I ilu have you thought about what you're going to do about the Millar Family?”

Lily let out a soft sigh and shrugged. “Not much for now. Taylor toldthat Rose and Ryan are planning to

announce their wedding after our movie releases. I'll make sure everything goes perfectly for them... so that

they can fully experience the gift I've prepared for them.”

A sly smile played on her lips as she continued, “Meanwhile, Taylor and | are setting up a new business. Once it's

established, it will directly compete with the Miller Corporation. Their downfall is just a matter of tnow.”

Ethan nodded approvingly. “And what about Riley? Isn't she supposed to return soon?”

Lily chuckled softly. “Oh, her? Yes, she’s already back in the city. From what I've heard, her first stop was the

Miller Mansion to meet her so-called best friend, Rose. But don’t worry-I’'m planning to introduce her to someone

who will give her a taste of her own medicine. I've been searching for a talented girl who can rival her in every

aspect.”

Ethan's lips curled into a satisfied smile. “Good. If you need any help, you know I'm always here for you.”

Lily smiled warmly, resting her head against his chest. “I know, Ethan. Having you by my side is all the strength |

need.”

The next few days passed in blissful peace as Ethan and Lily stayed at their lake house, enjoying their time

together and building precious memories. Every corner of their hseemed to hold a special moment- whether

it was their playful teasing, deep conversations, or tender moments of affection.

But eventually, reality called them back. Once they returned to the city, their lives resumed their usual pace. Lily

becengrossed in her filming schedule while Ethan was occupied with his business commitments.

Meanwhile, just as expected, Riley returned to the city and wasted no tvisiting theMiller Mansion. The stage

was slowly being set, and every player was unknowingly walking right into Lily's carefully laid plans.

The wheels of fate had started turning, and the reckoning for those who wronged her was just around the

corner.
