Betrayed by the Father Reborn in His Rival's Arms novel Chapter 112

Madeline had said, "You never eat properly when you're busy. From now on, I'm going to make you a big feast every day."

"Honey, look, doesn't our home feel so much cozier like this?"

"Darling, we haven't had dinner together in so long. You're always so busy, busy, busy. It feels like I haven't seen you in ages. I missed you so much."

"This is a little surprise I prepared for you. Open it and see."

"I'm pregnant! Darling, you're going to be a father!"

"From now on, you'll sleep on the left, I'll sleep on the right, and the baby will sleep in the middle."

Countless memories flashed through his mind like a carousel, every single sentence a testament to her deep love for him.

So why was she suddenly saying she wished he was dead? That she didn't love him, but hated him?

An inexplicable tightness gripped Lucius's chest. He had never hit a wall with Madeline before.

Nor had he ever heard her say anything so harsh.

Madeline never wanted to offend him; she always chose her words carefully to spare his feelings.

But this time, it seemed different.

Her demeanor was completely cold.

"I'm not divorcing you. And you don't have any leverage to negotiate a divorce with me anyway."

He sneered. "I'm the lead investor in your company. Without me, you can forget about going public without diluting your shares. Furthermore, as your husband, I haven't reached the point of completely despising you. Our marriage hasn't irretrievably broken down. No matter where you take this, you won't get a divorce."

Madeline pulled out her phone and played a recorded call.

The audio was only about thirty seconds long, but the color completely drained from Lucius's face as he listened.

It was the call Liliana had made to Madeline using his phone last night. Madeline had recorded it. On the track, Liliana's dirty talk flowed freely and shamelessly, explicitly praising his size and stamina in the most vulgar terms imaginable.

"If you don't go to the courthouse with me tomorrow to finalize the divorce, I will release this recording to the entire internet as Mrs. Whitman. I'll let everyone know just how amazing you two are."
