Rewrite her thrilling life Novel

The Billionaire's Last Obsession series 169 Summary Richard led Lillian back into a dusty cave where faint emerald glimmers appeared among the rocks. Lillian pointed out a vein breaking through the rock, promising that if they continued digging, they would find a valuable ivory vein. Richard expressed gratitude despite their troubled past, promising Lillian a worthy reward for her discovery. However, Lillian rejected any reward, asking only that her friends be left alone and that Richard not threaten her again.

After making preparations, they exited the cave and found no sign of Nicholas or the woman in red. They reached a village where a helicopter awaited. Richard arranged for Lillian to be escorted back to Solara while he returned to Radovia. During the long flight, Lillian felt her strength fading and, guided by a voice named Blue in her mind, decided to feign sleep to hide her condition. Upon landing, Lillian found herself on a private lawn where Sebastian awaited her. He embraced her tightly, overwhelmed with relief at seeing her safe.

However, Lillian soon revealed she needed to rest deeply and asked Sebastian to release the Stint family as she had promised Richard. She instructed him not to tell her master but to inform her friends, then slipped into unconsciousness. Sebastian held a dark ring Lillian gave him, carved with a little girl's curls, and felt its priceless significance. He kissed her forehead tenderly, promising to protect her as he carried her toward the manor. Though steady outwardly, he trembled inside, burdened by the weight of her fragile state and the uncertain future ahead.

Among the scattered debris, tiny glimmers of emerald began to catch the light, faint but unmistakable. Lillian pointed toward a streak embedded in the rock wall. "Look closely. It's breaking through. If you keep digging in this direction, you'll soon reach the ivory vein," she said, her voice steady despite the exhaustion lining her features. Richard's eyes brightened with renewed hope.

Those faint green specks were undeniable proof of something valuable. It was only a matter of time before they struck the mother lode. "Whatever else has happened between us," he finally admitted, his tone softer, "I owe you my thanks. None of this has been easy, but discovering emerald is a rare fortune. I'll keep my promise-your reward will be worthy. Just name your price." She almost laughed at the irony. Typical Richard-dragging her here by force, then trying to smooth things over with a few polite words, as if their ordeal was no more than a minor inconvenience.

A fox dressed in fine clothes, indeed. "I don't want anything," Lillian replied coolly, her gaze steady. "Just leave my friends alone. And don't ever pull me away like this again. No one likes being threatened." Despite everything, she knew that without his interference, she never would have uncovered the vein. The rest-his promises and threats-she could set aside. As for the reward, let him keep it. No one could yet say if this mine would bring fortune or ruin. Richard inclined his head, offering a practiced smile. "Very well. Perhaps someday we can share a drink instead of this...

tension." "Maybe," she said lightly, the faintest trace of a smile touching her lips. In their world, alliances were fleeting, and enmities just as temporary. Today had been bitter, but who could predict what tomorrow might hold? Once preparations were complete, they made their way out of the cave. This time, there was no sign of Nicholas or the woman in red. The forest was quiet as they left, and soon they arrived at the village where a helicopter waited patiently on a clearing. Richard instructed his men to escort Lillian back to Solara, while he himself would return to Radovia.

With a brief nod, they parted ways. The flight stretched on for nearly ten hours. As time dragged, Lillian felt her strength waning. The storm of energy swirling inside her became impossible to contain. If she collapsed now, in front of everyone, there would be no hiding the truth. "You can slip away with just your mind," Blue whispered inside her consciousness. "It'll look like you've simply fallen asleep. No one will notice." Lillian nodded faintly, relief washing over her. "Got it." At last, the helicopter descended.

When her feet touched the ground, she realized this wasn't an airport but a private lawn, lush and meticulously kept. She looked up-and froze. He was already striding toward her. In that moment, everything else faded away until only the two of them existed. A line she had once cherished echoed through her mind: Only you, worth a lifetime, an eternity. Sebastian closed the distance with long, urgent strides. His hand grasped her wrist firmly, pulling her close until she stumbled into his chest. The sharp scent of mint filled her senses.

He tightened his arms around her as if afraid she might vanish the moment he loosened his grip. Watching her walk off that plane unharmed had unraveled every knot of fear inside him, leaving only a fierce, overwhelming relief. For a brief moment, with her safe in his embrace, he could finally breathe. With her by his side, he felt truly alive. Then he heard a faint sound from her, and his grip eased slightly. His dark eyes searched her pale face with concern. "Lillian-what's wrong?" His voice was strained, his chest tightening with panic.

She drew a long, shaky breath, sweat beading on her forehead. "Sebastian, just listen for now. Release the Stint family. I promised Richard. And... I need to rest for a while. Don't worry, I'm only going to sleep, but it might be a long sleep. Don't tell my master. Tell my friends for me-don't let them worry." His throat constricted. He knew something was wrong, but memories of Harbortown held him back. If she was asking this of him, he would honor it. "Fine," he said hoarsely. "Rest. Take however long you need. I'll wait." A faint smile touched her lips.

With trembling fingers, she pulled a dark ring from her pocket and pressed it into his palm. "For you. Don't despise it." Her words barely escaped before her body sagged, and she slipped into unconsciousness. Sebastian stared down at the ring-an obsidian emerald, warm against his skin, faintly carved with the image of a little girl's curls. The craftsmanship was rough, but to him, it was priceless. He clenched it tightly, his eyes stinging with unshed tears. Looking down at her still form cradled in his arms, he pressed a reverent kiss to her brow and whispered, "Sleep.

I'll protect you." Lifting her carefully with both arms, he turned toward the manor. The setting sun stretched their shadows long across the manicured lawn. Step by step, he carried her forward-steady on the surface, but trembling beneath the weight, like a lost child with no one else to lean on.
