Lily's POV:Seven weeks later after the most embarrassing moment in my life, I stumbled into my office on a perfect Friday morning, but something didn't feel right. The crushing headache that had plagued me for days had intensified, making it nearly impossible to focus on my work. I struggled through the morning, but eventually, my boss noticed my distress."Lily, you look terrible. Are you feeling alright?" my boss, Mr. Anderson, asked with concern etched on his face. He stood by the open door to my office wearing an expensive Armani suit.I looked up from the computer screen I had buried my head and rubbed my tempos for the hundredth time, "I'm not sure, sir. I've been feeling unwell for a while now," I replied, my voice wavering while I leaned into my chair.Mr Anderson stepped into my office while maintaining eye contact with me, "Maybe you should go home and rest, Lily. Take the day off, get some rest, and come back on Monday when you're feeling better," he suggested.Grateful fo

Lily's POV:"Well, well, well, look who just thought of coming back home unannounced?" My stepmom opened the door with a lackluster smile.I hesitantly stepped inside my childhood home with my huge suitcase clasped in my hands and a mix of emotions overwhelmed me as it hadn't been an easy day – losing my job and being rejected indirectly for the second time by the father of my unborn child had taken a toll on my spirit. But returning to the only place I could call home brought a glimmer of hope."Hey Mom, " I forced a smile while I looked at the floor."No, no, I'm not your mother. Call me Diana," she kept glaring at my bulging stomach with a raised eyebrow…I wrapped my arms around me because I knew she was judging me."I apologize, Diana," I murmured and she scoffed while pointing at my stomach."Is it me or have you gained weight around your stomach?" She narrowed her eyes at me, I glanced down while I chewed on the inside of my cheeks.Oh crap! please don't say pregnant... I fidget

Lily's POV:A hot slap landed on my cheek and I heard a ringing sound before I stumbled dangerously backward until my back came to a halt after hitting the wall. "You little pig," Diana yelled at me with a grimace on her face," how dare you tell your father that I stole from him?" She huffed and puffed with a red face. I swallowed nervously while I held back the tears from spewing out of my eyes."I didn't tell Dad that you stole from him but rather the books were not balancing when I went through them," I stuttered faintly while I dared not to look at her."Lies, you think I don't know what you are trying to do," she spat while cornering me in the kitchen pantry, I cradled my belly protectively because I didn't want her hitting me in my stomach like she did three weeks prior because I mistakenly burnt her dress when I was ironing it for her."I swear upon my babies, I never mentioned anything about you stealing," my lips quivered while she stepped in my face."Lily or whatever your

Lily's POV:What the heck was I thinking going back to that stupid Blake expecting a different reaction from his womanizing ass? I sniffed while rubbing off some tears away from my face and the train screeched to a halt at the station, its doors opening with a hiss. I dragged myself out onto the platform, my heart heavy with a burden too painful to bear.I hate him, I hate him! My heart clenched with anger I never thought I would feel for a fellow human being.I exhaled slowly, looking at the full moon that hung high in the sky, casting an ethereal glow on the deserted streets of my hometown. Oh god, what am I going to do now? I trudged towards the exit with my huge belly, tears streaming down my cheeks on their own, as I regretted every moment I had spent with that jackass because all he did was ruin my life plans and shatter all my dreams of becoming independent from my Dad..."Ahh," I huffed and puffed as never had I ever felt this disappointment in my entire existence, and now I

Lily POV:"Mommy, mommy, wake up," my twins came running towards my bed and snuggled up with me, I groaned with delight while slowly opening my eyes. I picked up my glasses from the side chest drawer next to my bed and wore them to clearly see my beautiful 4-year-olds "Good morning Maddy and Mase," I called them by their cute nicknames and they frowned their cute faces while crossing their arms."Mummy, I'm Madison," the girl corrected."And I'm Mason," the boy corrected."Please call us by our full names," they demanded in unison, I scoffed playfully.So bossy! And a trait I did not have. I sat up and hugged both my cutie pies while rubbing their hair lightly."Okay, I'm sorry… good morning Madison and Mason," I rephrased my greeting and they both smiled with their big beautiful blue eyes."That's better," Madison said with an easy smile."Has Rosa given you guys breakfast?" I inquired about their nanny who was supposed to be getting them ready for school and they both pouted their l
