Chapter 86

• Xavier withdrew from her side, rolling up his sleeves as his gaze followed Lillibeth, who dashed toward the exit of the house. "Not right now, Polo. I have something else to take care of," he said before swiftly pursuing her.
• It had recently come to Xavier's attention that Lillibeth had been feeding his father with information that had kept him consistently at odds with his son. She had managed to convince Lucio that his own child was destined for ruin, and this misinformation was the very reason for Lucio's harsh treatment toward Xavier.
• A clash erupted that sent Dahlia's heart racing to the brink of stopping. Xavier had vanished, following Lillibeth outside into the garden. The sky darkened ominously, and a rumble of thunder echoed through the morning air. It felt like an omen, signaling the confrontation of one God against another.
