Betrayed by the Father Reborn in His Rival's Arms novel Chapter 120

But now, it was gone forever.

He had always believed he held the upper hand, that he was the one controlling their romance. But the truth was, Madeline could bestow her love just as easily as she could strip it away. He had never been the one in control; Madeline was. Because he was the one desperate for that love, completely dependent on it, and utterly incapable of finding a replacement.

By the time he realized this, it was already far too late.

Meanwhile...

Liliana cursed a blue streak as she settled into the first-class seat Lucius had booked for her flight abroad.

She was furious that Lucius was ignoring her after she had finally slept with him.

Liliana had assumed that after such a long dry spell, Lucius would become just as addicted to their intimacy as she was. Sure, she might have overdone it with the dosage—Lucius was practically unconscious and hadn't really put his equipment to much use—but she viewed it as a necessary catalyst. She had been convinced that once he woke up and realized what happened, he wouldn't be able to stay away from her.

Instead, not only did he ignore her, he had blocked her number entirely.

As she strolled past rows of dazzling display cases, she scoffed. If Lucius wasn't going to text her and grovel, she would just have to soothe her ego with cold, hard cash.

She strutted into a high-end luxury department store.

It was one of the top ten luxury shopping centers in the world.

Surrounded by wealthy foreigners, Liliana marched straight to the Hermès boutique. The glass and polished wood cabinets were lined with an exquisite array of top-tier designer bags.

Without batting an eye, she grabbed five or six bags, each worth millions of dollars.

Still unsatisfied, she planned to hit up several more stores after cashing out.
