Betrayed by Blood: My Second Life as a Queen novel Chapter 203

The insult was delivered without a shred of politeness. Dominic was momentarily stunned before he erupted in absolute fury. "Lucian! You're talking to me like this over a woman? Do you believe I won't—"

Before he could finish, the call disconnected.

Lucian's expression remained passive, but his eyes were a stormy abyss of gloom.

He had experienced this countless times growing up. Ever since his mother died, Dominic had violently forced him to accept Sterling as a brother.

Why should a vicious illegitimate son born to a homewrecker have any right to be compared to him?

As for the heir status, Dominic had absolutely no power to dictate that decision.

He muted his phone, tossed it onto the nightstand, and went to bed without a second thought.

On the other end, Dominic was practically stomping his feet in rage. Yet he was utterly powerless against Lucian, left to sit and fume through gritted teeth.

Meanwhile, Willow struggled to fall asleep. Before she drifted off, her mind was consumed by Lucian's fierce, predatory kiss.

Perhaps because he had consumed her waking thoughts, Willow's dreams took a scandalous turn.

In the dream, she was dragged back to that doomed wedding from her past life.

She had been forced to drink the spiked milk and tossed into a dark room like a broken ragdoll, her entire body burning with a suffocating wave of lust.

She collapsed, desperately begging Xavier to let her go. But he merely stared at her with icy indifference. "Willow, you've always been promiscuous. You strung along countless men in college. This situation is just another Tuesday for you; it won't ruin you. Tessa, however, has a pristine reputation that cannot withstand any scandal. For Tessa's sake, just endure it."
