Chapter 92

• Lily’s hand stung after slapping Ethan, her anger boiling over. Ethan’s eyes widened in shock, his cheek burning where she had struck him. He touched it lightly, but the physical pain was nothing compared to the turmoil in his heart. The realization of what he had done sank in deeper than any slap could inflict.
• Lily stood her ground, her chest heaving with emotion. “You have no right to do this to me. I can't let you hurt me again and again. I won’t forgive you for this,” she declared, her voice steady despite the tremor of hurt beneath it. “Not anymore.”
• With that, she flung open the bedroom door and dashed downstairs, her heart racing. Ethan, momentarily stunned, quickly regained his composure and followed her, desperation clawing at him.
