Chapter 14 - LILY WAS OFFERED MONEYAfter everything, Victor offered Lily a large retention bonus.
She refused the first number.
He looked offended.
“Why?”
“Because it’s ridiculous.”
“You protected my son.”
“That was my job.”
“Not like this.”

Complete her early-childhood development degree.
Build savings.
Not millions.
Not a surprise inheritance.

“Elena specifically said no.”
Lily laughed.
“Thank God.”
Victor frowned.
“You don’t want influence?”
“I want Ethan safe.”
