Lily and Leo are in an arranged marriage, and they don’t get along one bit. They only got married for money. Leo doesn’t know that Lily has been abused and kidnapped multiple times. One day, Leo saw Lily being abused by one of her guy friends (his name was Lewis), and he was nonstop punching her until she became a crying, bloody mess on the concrete floor and her back leaned against the brick wall. Lewis whispered to her, “I’m now gonna tie you up and you’re gonna be my good girl and obey me, understand?” Lily nods. Suddenly, Leo intervened, grabbing Lewis and throwing him to the ground. He called the police, ensuring Lewis was arrested. As Lily sobbed, Leo realized the depth of her suffering and vowed to protect her, beginning a journey towards understanding and healing in their strained relationship. Lily looks at leo and says through sobs “leo? I thought youd be at work”. Leo gently helped Lily to her feet, his eyes filled with concern. "I had to come back," he said softly. "I can't let anyone hurt you again." Lily, still trembling, felt a glimmer of hope as Leo held her close, promising to keep her safe. Lily looks at him and says “So you actually love me?”. Leo looked into Lily's eyes, his voice steady and sincere. "Yes, I love you," he whispered. "I'm here for you, and I'll always protect you." Lily, feeling the warmth of his embrace, began to believe in the possibility of a future free from fear and pain. Lily mumbles “can I have your blazer?” so quietly Leo didn’t hear her. Leo, sensing her unspoken request, gently removed his blazer and draped it over her shoulders. He smiled reassuringly, and Lily felt a sense of safety envelop her. Together, they took the first step toward healing and rebuilding their fractured relationship. When they get back to their 9 story house leo picks her up ane carries her to his room for cuddles for the very first time in their relationship. As they entered Leo's room, the familiar space felt different, filled with a newfound warmth and intimacy. Lily nestled into Leo's chest, feeling his heartbeat against her cheek. For the first time in a long while, she allowed herself to relax completely, knowing she was finally safe and loved. Lily ends up falling asleep knowing she isnt gonna be beaten up or anything whilst she sleeping. The next morning, Lily awoke to the smell of pancakes. Leo had prepared breakfast, a small gesture that spoke volumes about his commitment to change. As they sat down to eat, they talked about their hopes and dreams, slowly rebuilding the trust that had been broken. Lily steals one if leo’s fried eggs from his plate and looked adorable whilst she ate it. Leo smiled warmly at her, appreciating her playful gesture. They spent the morning laughing and enjoying each other's company, feeling a sense of hope for the future. As the day progressed, they continued to strengthen their bond, determined to leave the past behind and build a brighter, happier future together. Lily looks up at him andis about to say something then shuts herself up and looks away. Lily hesitated, her gaze shifting back to Leo. "I just wanted to say thank you," she finally murmured, her voice barely above a whisper. "For everything." Leo's smile widened, and he reached across the table to squeeze her hand gently. "You never have to thank me," he replied softly. "We're in this together.". Lily gets a text and she reads it to herself sthen says the last part out loud “congr—i cant read that long word, but— audition at 12.10 today”. She nearly faints whilst reading this. Leo catches her and reads the message to himself then picks her up and sets her on his lap and says “well done love”. Lily blushes and hides her face in his chest as he kisses her forehead. One the day of her audition, backstage, she’s pacing back and forth breathing heavily. Once she’s on stage, she sings her heart out.
