Billionaire, Let's Divorce (Mark and Sydney) novel Chapter 189

Sydney's POV

Those words ran in my head as if a sledgehammer was being slammed against the strongest iron wall in my head. Dong!

The ringing wouldn't stop. I would have held my head but I was still bound.

The forest was thrown into a fit of silence,even the music had drowned out. It was as if they were waiting for me to take it in.

I started to think back to when Doris introduced Mark to me? Does Doris know about this? I wondered.

Besides,how? How the hell was it possible that he wasn't Lucas. He looked like him,he spoke and behaved like Lucas, everything about him was as I remembered!

I snapped my gaze to him and my voice quivered as I asked, "You must be lying!" I let out between gritted teeth at the both of them. "If you don't want me again,Lucas, just fucking tell me. Why come up with such a sick story."

I could feel Luigi's gaze drilling into my temple and as I looked up at Lucas who was glaring at me, and a corner if his lips twitched from time to time.

"Look, it's okay, okay? It's alright. I prepared myself for your rejection when I was coming here. So you should stop being a fuckin coward and say it to my face. Tell me you don't want me anymore and let me go!"

Lucas burst out laughing boisterously and as much as I hated to admit it, now that I was equipped with the knowledge that he might not be Lucas, as I watched him, I could see some if the signs and my heart shattered.

Lucas never laughs so hard. He never did.

No, he's not Lucas, I admitted within myself. But I didn't want to believe it. I desperately wanted to cling to the belief that Lucas had only changed and that was it.

"And who told you that I'd let you go?" He stepped forward, "You see? You're a joker just like this my friend here?" He nodded toward Luigi who was glaring at him.
