Betrayed by the Father Reborn in His Rival's Arms novel Chapter 344

Massive floor-to-ceiling windows revealed a private infinity pool outside, flanked by an endless view of the lake bay.

Madeline had never imagined this kind of luxury.

But before she even had time to admire the view, Quentin pulled her right in front of him.

His dark, profound eyes held a faint, watery gleam. Quentin's eyes were truly beautiful.

It wasn't the first time Madeline had noticed that he had large, slightly puppy-dog-like eyes. But when he normally looked down on others, his gaze was so oppressive that people didn't dare to look him in the eye.

Only then did Madeline realize he had gently pinned her against the wall.

"Last time you said that once we officially confirmed our relationship, you'd give me a reward. Can I claim what's mine now?"

Though his words were framed as a question, his eyes held a hint of warning and absolute possessiveness.

That warning carried the implication that a rejection would quickly turn into anger.

Madeline nodded quickly. She had already gotten everything she wanted, including his respect. She had always yearned for love, yearned to be intensely enveloped by it.

She lacked love in her heart. Although she still couldn't decipher exactly what Quentin felt for her, she wanted to experience it.

Madeline went inside.

The bathroom was massive. She took her time this round, washing herself thoroughly and applying the edible, sweet, floral-scented body lotion provided in the bathroom. When she stepped out, she found Quentin waiting right outside the door. Only the bathroom light was on, casting a glow over half of his skin and perfectly tracing his sharp, sculpted lines. The mirror behind him reflected his flawless back muscles.

His veins looked like an artistic embellishment.

He had clearly taken a shower too, in another bathroom.

His hair was pushed entirely back, his eyelashes dark and damp. His hair was towel-dried so it no longer dripped, forming a stiff, textured slick-back look that fully revealed his facial features. He looked incredibly sharp and intense.
