Chapter 308

After hearing Lily’s story, Riyana became sure of one thing. She would not become Lily. Lily had loved David deeply, but she had also depended on him too much. She had waited, endured, hoped, and kept breaking herself quietly. Riyana would never do that. She knew herself better than that. She knew where her line was. She loved Jabco, yes. That much she could not deny anymore. But loving him did not mean losing herself. She would give him time. She would be patient, just once. She wanted to see how he would treat her now that they were married. She wanted to see if he would respect her, or if he would try to cage her even tighter. And if one day she decided she had enough, she knew she could walk away. That thought gave her some strength. That evening, Riyana had to go to Lennox’s place. He had sent her the location and the apartment number earlier, so finding the place wasn’t difficult. Still, when she arrived, she couldn’t help but slow her steps. The building itself was intimidating.
