Her Revenge Was His Regret (Shirley and Gilbert) novel Chapter 378

"Of course I'm not mocking you for being divorced. After all, the Sherry I treasure is also divorced—and what I treasure is always the best. But you two are nothing alike. She only trusted the wrong man. You...?"

For the first time, Lucas smiled at Julia.

It was a cold, sharp smile, dripping with contempt.

No hiding it. No holding back.

Before, his sharpness toward her had made her think he was interested.

He was cold to everyone else... so if he treated her differently, she must be special.

She'd always preferred men who were cold to the world but soft only for her.

Now she realized the difference wasn't affection.

It was mockery.

How could she accept that?

He turned and left without another word, proving with every move how little he cared for Julia.

But he held Sherry carefully on his back, gentle, afraid she'd be uncomfortable.

The contrast was brutal.

"Lucas! One day you'll regret treating me like this!"

She'd make him regret it. No more nice girl act. She'd use every trick she had to take what she wanted.

Some men liked gentle women, but maybe Lucas found that boring.

She'd give him the dangerous, wild version of herself.

They'd forced her back to who she really was.

And the harder he was to get, the sweeter the victory would be.

Besides...

With every confrontation, the way he only doted on Sherry, his coldness to every other woman, his perfect face—he was the perfect mix of dangerous dominance and boyish charm.

He was stunning. Even his back was beautiful.

And he was a mystery. The deeper she dug, the more fascinating he became.

He never lost.

In King City's cutthroat world, everyone had dismissed him as a spoiled kid.

Now, everyone begged to do business with him.
