Everything was in place. Now, Lily would feel every ounce of pain she’d endured.
Soon, Lily would suffer a miscarriage, undergo the same surgery, and be left even more broken than she was!
That morning, Lily woke up and began her usual scroll through her phone.
Just as she expected, the internet was flooded with people cursing Elsa.
She even saw the video of Elsa throwing herself down the stairs to frame her.
It was obvious James had leaked that one.
Thinking of the other videos she still had, Lily chose the one from the hotel – destroyed her wedding dress – and posted it online. the one where Elsa
Sure enough, no one believed Elsa was a first-time offender anymore. No one believed she was truly remorseful. Not even hired bots could twist things in her favor now.
Lily also saw the news that Elsa had undergone removal surgery after the fall.
Had it been any other girl, Lily might have felt sorry.
But Elsa? She deserved every bit of it.
Of course, Yulia and her crew were getting dragged too. The university Yulia attended even issued a public statement: due to serious misconduct, Yulia and her friends were being expelled.
Word was that the Luke Group’s elite legal team had already begun tackling the matter.
Whether it was Yulia and her friends or the paid commenters working for Elsa, they were all going to be sued. The message was clear aiding and abetting evil wouldn’t be overlooked. There would be
– consequences.
Yulia posted an apology video.
In it, she wept bitterly, begging for Lily’s forgiveness and pleading for another chance,
But the comments were merciless.
Everyone called it crocodile tears. No one felt sympathy.
James also had the full footage from the previous night uploaded.
It clearly showed Yulia peeking sneakily out from behind the curtains when Elsa threw herself off the stage.
She obviously knew Elsa had set Lily up. Yet she still brought people to assault and humiliate her. That wasn’t a momentary lapse in judgment – it was deliberate cruelty. No one believed she deserved forgiveness.
People began flooding James’s account, demanding he not let Yulia off the hook.
Everyone was confident –
James would fight to clear his wife’s name.
Lily, too, felt that Yulia being expelled and sued was well-deserved.
But when she saw how swollen Yulia’s face looked in the video – red and puffed up like a steamed bun – she was genuinely puzzled.
She had slapped Yulia hard last night, sure, but not that hard. It couldn’t have been just her doing.
Maybe karma had struck and Yulia tripped and fell in the dark?
Lily didn’t bother wasting brain cells figuring it out. She kept scrolling through the comment section.
At first, the comments stayed on-topic
Then, things started going off the rails.
– roasting Yulia.
“Ah! Mr. James’s face and body are unreal! I can’t even imagine how happy Lily must be in bed!”
“Lily’s gorgeous too! I bet Mr. James is just as thrilled to have her! Their genes are insane – beautiful their baby would be!”
“I want to see their baby already!”
“Drop the baby pic + phone number!” imagine how
Lily’s brain nearly short-circuited reading those.
And she couldn’t help but think back to her first time with James.
Honestly… it had been in sync. Pleasant.
Also exhausting.
A real workout.
But things between them weren’t as rosy as the internet imagined. In truth, he’d never want their child.
That’s why she had to leave – take her baby and disappear.
She thought of the quiet, scenic town she’d be moving to a place where she might never see James again. The thought made her chest ache with reluctant sadness.
Still, once the baby was born, she wouldn’t be alone anymore.
There might even be two babies.
With her own children by her side, even if she never loved or married again, she wouldn’t feel lonely.
Lost in thought, her phone suddenly rang with urgency.
Worried it was the theater calling, she answered right away.
To her surprise, it wasn’t from the theater – it was Yulia, using a friend’s phone.
“Lily, I really know I messed up.”
–
Yulia’s voice was thick with tears. “Last night… I was really misled and pressured by Elsa. That’s why I hurt you. I’m so sorry. I truly regret it. I’ve already been expelled. Everyone online is dragging me. I’ve been punished. Please… please tell Mr. James to stop. If he really comes after me, I’ll end up in prison. If that happens, my life will be over…”
Yulia was clearly terrified of going to jail.
She sobbed uncontrollably, her voice choked with panic and despair.
But to Lily, her tears weren’t the least bit pitiful. She wasn’t about to play the saint and let her off.
Yulia had already called once before, pleading to avoid detainment.
Back then, she’d put on the same heartfelt act Tull of guilt, full of tears- yet none of it had stopped her from targeting Lily again.
And now, she clearly knew Lily was pregnant.
She had drenched her in freezing water and tried to shove her off the stage- her aim was obvious: she wanted to kill Lily’s baby.
If James hadn’t shown up just in time to catch her, the baby would’ve been lost.
If things had gone worse, Lily might’ve hemorrhaged like Elsa had been forced to undergo the same surgery, or worse… she and the baby might not have survived at all.
Why should she forge any of that?
“Yulia, you led the attack against me. Don’t you think there should be consequences?”
Lily’s voice was ice-cold, every word deliberate and firm. “Getting expelled, being sued, going to jail – all of it is exactly what you deserve.”
“Lily!”
Cornered and humiliated, Yulia was seething inside.
–
But that’s the way people like her were if Lily had been weak and helpless, she would’ve screamed at her, maybe even threatened her with revenge.
But now that Lily stood tall, backed by real power, Yulia didn’t even dare curse at her, let alone retaliate.
Lily ended the call.
And Yulia? She dumped every ounce of blame and hatred onto Elsa.
If Elsa hadn’t dragged her into it, she wouldn’t have lost everything, wouldn’t be hated by all, and wouldn’t be facing legal punishment.
