“But you won’t, will you? You don’t actually want a divorce, do you? Or maybe you think your career is more important than our relationship?”
Stephen’s shock deepened with every word. He had heard rumors about Lily’s selfishness before, but he had stubbornly dismissed them. How could the woman he’d idealized be so manipulative and self–serving?
Now, with their interests clashing, both of their true colors were on full display.
Snapping, Stephen stormed forward and slapped Lily hard across the face. “You dare blame me for this? Everything I’ve become is because of you!
“And you have the audacity to talk about our ‘relationship‘? How many men have you been with already? You think I’m going to be your fool, your backup plan? Dream on!”
After the slap, all pretense between Lily and Stephen crumbled completely. She dropped her façade and unleashed a tirade like a street brawler, hurling insults at him.
you “Yeah, I’ve slept with other men–so what? You’re a cheater yourself. What makes think I owe you loyalty? Don’t kid yourself! If you weren’t so easy to fool, I wouldn’t have even bothered with you.
“You’re not rich, and you sure didn’t satisfy me in bed. You really think I care about you?”
Stephen completely broke down.
Gripping his head, he roared, “Did you sleep with that wealthy patient too?”
Lily smirked coldly. “And what if I did? At least he’s richer and has a bigger dick. He’s way better than you in every way.”
Stephen muttered to himself, his voice trembling. “So, it’s true… what they said about you seducing Dr. Thomas–it’s all true, isn’t it?”
Her laugh grew even colder. “Dr. Thomas? Sure, he’s older, but at least he’s competent, unlike you.”
She leaned in, her voice dripping with mockery. “Want to know a little secret? I’ve slept with over a thousand men, and you’re the worst of them all.
Stephen’s face turned crimson with rage. In a frenzy, he coughed up blood, pointing a shaking finger at her. “Get out!”
Startled, Lily spun around and bolted for the door, shouting as she ran, “You coughed up that blood on your own! Don’t pin it on me!”
