Chapter 456 Lightning at the Window

Lily lay on the bed for several minutes before puffing her cheeks and pushing herself up to head for the

shower.

Honestly, that cold, untouchable face of his was nothing but a scam..

Nothing he did had the slightest hint of restraint.

He was shameless–utterly shameless–and if it weren’t for not wanting to bruise his fragile feelings, the would have insisted on separate bedrooms by now,

Exhausted and sleepy, she kept the wash quick, wrapping herself in a

re stepping back out.

As she passed the window, she instinctively gave the curtain a small tug and glanced out

She’d assumed that in a downpour like this, John would have already taken himself far away.

But no–he was still there, standing outside the villa like a man possessed.

Absolutely insane.

Absolutely unlucky.

Any appreciation she’d had for the rain–dappled scenery vanished instantly.

She let the curtain fall and was about to collapse into bed when James walked in.

Finding her at the window, the jealousy already burning in his eyes roared into a full blaze. “Your ex is

outside

A ripple of unease went through her.

Sure enough, the next thing she heard was, “I’m feeling jealous–and I want to kiss you.”

That mutt John must have a vendetta against her.

Lurking outside in the rain, refusing to leave…

She suspected he was determined to ruin her life.

Lily had no desire to end up with lips like sausages

But on a rainy night, with the warmth between them thick in the air, faced with the intensity of his gaze- the way it was tangled with longing, with fear of losing her, with a tenderness that made her heart skip- she couldn’t stop herself from looping her arms around his neck the moment his lips found hers.

A roll of thunder flashed low under the eaves.

John looked up in time to see the master bedroom curtains shift. A flash of lightning illuminated two intertwined silhouettes, tender and inseparable.

For a moment, he couldn’t even react.

The pain of a thousand arrows through the heart couldn’t compare to what he felt just then.

Soon James lifted her into his arms.

They moved away from the window, and John couldn’t see what came next–but he could imagine. James must have carried her to the bed.

A man and a woman in the same bed weren’t just going to hold hands.

Even if James was mindful of her pregnancy and wouldn’t take it to the fir would still be there.

all the other intimacies

They would kiss each other with abandon, lay themselves bare, press skin to skin, and

The pain in his chest made John bend over again.

He couldn’t bear to think that while he stood outside with roses in his arms, begging her in the pouring rain to come back, she felt nothing for his suffering–and was inside, wrapped up in a heated tangle with another man.

How could she be so ruthless? So heartless?

How dare she betray John like this?

Rage, jealousy, resentment, anguish-

A thousand sharp needles pierced his chest over and over, each one making him wish for death yet unable to die.

He knew she was under James right now.

Standing here in the wind and rain would only make him more pathetic.

But it was as if he were locked in a battle of wills–he simply couldn’t bring himself to rise from the ground.

Just as James had expected, the Moore family heard about Quincy offending him, and Quincy’s relatives -nearly beat her senseless.

When she tried to secretly delete the incriminating videos, her parents barged into her room, ripped the phone from her hands, and delivered it straight to Ashton.

Early the next morning, Ashton brought the organized footage to James.

Lily had been exhausted from the night before and was sleeping soundly.

James, not wanting to wake her, look the videos into his study to watch.

There was a lot of footage.

He clicked on a random clip and immediately saw two girls dragging a completely drenched Lilly into a

remote comer.

Not only was she soaked, but her face was swollen like a red bun.

They’d clearly gone at her with cruel force.

She lay limp on the ground, nearly powerless to fight back.

“Lily, you really look like a drowned rat like this–absolutely disgusting!”

Mathilda, dressed in an immaculate white designer dress, walked step by step into the frame looking pure, but her face was twisted with a malice uglier than any dem

“Heard your period’s here…”

With deliberate cruelty, she stomped hard on Lily’s lower abdomen. The searing pain made Lily’s face twist tight in agony.

Her sanitary pad had already been ripped away.

Without it, her skirt was i

“This little massage–feels good, doesn’t it?”

Mathilda’s voice dripped venom as she pressed down even harder, as if she meant to grind Lily into nothing but pulp.
