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 wake me up earlier?” 

“How could I 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, I 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! I 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, I suppose I’ll just have to remind my wife who the most handsome man in her life really is.” 

Lily’s eyes widened, and she grabbed his hand before he could go any further. “Ethan, stop! I was just teasing! You’re the most handsome man 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 biting me out 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 told me that 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 I 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 time now.” 

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 I 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 home seemed 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 became engrossed in her filming schedule while Ethan was occupied with his business commitments. 

Meanwhile, just as expected, Riley returned to the city and wasted no time visiting 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.
