Chapter 167

• Over the following days, Lily and Ethan found themselves immersed in their respective responsibilities. Lily’s debut movie, Shades of Love, was nearing its release, keeping her occupied with promotions and media engagements. Alongside the excitement of her first film, she was also busy finalizing preparations for the grand opening of her fashion store, LX Designs. Balancing both tasks demanded her full attention.
• Meanwhile, Ethan was buried in work at the office while dealing with a shadowy and dangerous adversary. Partnering with James, he was relentlessly pursuing leads to uncover this person’s identity. Simultaneously, he reinforced security for his entire family, determined to shield them from any potential harm. The inability to pinpoint this enemy left him restless and on high alert, an unease he couldn't seem to shake.
• The lingering tension gnawed at him. He despised the sense of vulnerability and uncertainty it brought, especially when it came to Lily’s safety. After the ominous threat directed at her, he became uncompromising about her protection. No matter how many security measures he implemented or how many discreet bodyguards he assigned to watch over her, it never felt like enough.
