When Lily Langston goes to a game with her best friend. The last thing she ever thought to happen was being hit in the face with a ball.
But what left her even more shocked was when the guest pitcher himself, the known ruthless billionaire Hayes Gr...

It's been five days in Italy. I was in love with the country and it's people. I'd never been to a more friendly place in my life.
Maybe it was because I was visibly pregnant. I get stares all the time, but the treatment was different. The miracle of life really changes the way people act around you.
They are either uncomfortable or excited. It's worse knowing that they knew what I did to get pregnant. But here we are anyways.
I was excited for today, Hayes had a business meeting. But I get to go to a lemon tree orchard. I'd already collected a suitcase full of items to bring home from our trip. But the lemons would be the cherry on top.
I'd been wanting to do this for ages, and today getting to do so was everything I could ask for. Hayes thought it was strange, he wanted to make sure I was safe. I agreed on security with me, I was still uncomfortable being alone.
He was dead, I was safe.
But I was still scared, horrified even. Guilt consumed me due to Mrs.Morgan. She knows of the death of her son, she doesn't know why though. She doesn't know what I did.
The car stops and I see them, the lemon trees creating some type of arched tunnel. It was perfect, it was the day of debriefing I needed. Though I love spending time with Hayes and he felt guilty for this work emergency.
It was nice to have some me time, well me and our child. It was weird to think soon there would be three of us, I wondered how Frito would take it. Well also how Laurie would take it.
I felt soft kicks as I began to make my way through the orchard trying to find the best lemons one could. I fell in love with the place, it gave me solace of how vacant it was. It wasn't crowded or overwhelming. It was peaceful and I was happy.
It was everything I could imagine. Like it was out of some movie scene, I loved it. Immersing myself into some fantasy world, this was my main character moment and my husband couldn't mock me for it.
I walked with my wicker basket and found my perfect tree as I began to pick in peace. I loved it here, maybe a place here wouldn't be a bad idea. I knew I'd want to return a hundred times more if I could.
I hummed to the melody in my head as I continued to pick in peace, "I've never seen anyone more in love with a tree" a voice interrupts me.
And when I look over, my heart drops. I feel my palms begin to sweat as my heart raced.
It couldn't be.
She stood with a carefree smile in overalls. Her brunette hair was down with a bandana headband in and clippers in hand, "Sorry to disturb you!" She quickly adds "I own the orchard and saw your love of lemons quickly" she quips with a smile.
This couldn't be happening, this couldn't be real. Doppelgängers were real, "You didn't, I'm Lily" I offer my hand to the woman.
