She was standing close, her back to Luca. So when she suddenly screamed and fell, he rushed over in a rage and struck me without hesitation.
The blow hit hard. My vision went blurry with stars, my cheek swelled almost instantly and blood welled at the corner of my lips.
Luca quickly helped Lilian up before staring at me with an icy gaze. It was as if he had forgotten he was the one who just hit me.
Lilian whispered with feigned concern, “Don’t be angry. Miss Yvonne is just too heartbroken. She didn’t mean it.”
He finally turned to me and mercilessly said, “You shouldn’t have pushed her. You brought this on yourself.”
The doctor was clearly warned in advance because he said nothing about my injuries. He simply handed over some medicine and left.
There were bodyguards stationed outside the ward. Luca had imprisoned me here.
I lay in silence, thinking how absurd all this was. I had devoted them to a man who turned out to be nothing more than a heartless liar.
What made it even more absurd was the news Zoe brought me soon after.
Lilian and Luca had officially gone public and they had paid marketing accounts to rewrite the story, painting me as the mistress.
