I Chose Me Over My Marriage novel Chapter 203

"Lyra, I always loved how lively you were. Since you're awake, talk to me. It's just the two of us now. No one else can interfere with us anymore."

If anyone else heard Maxwell, they would assume his words were dripping with devotion.

But to Lyra, it sounded like an absolute mockery.

"Maxwell, whatever it is you're trying to do, the second I walk out of here alive, I will make you pay."

Maxwell acted as if he didn't hear a word, continuing in his own delusional world. "Lyra, I didn't cherish you properly before. But don't worry, from now on, I'll hold you in the palm of my hand. I'll never let anyone bully you again."

He was entirely absorbed in his own fantasy, but to Lyra, it was nothing more than a pathetic display of fake affection.

"Maxwell, do you really think this is going to work?"

Perhaps it was the sudden, eerie calmness in Lyra's voice that finally made Maxwell pause.

"I don't love you anymore. Forcing this is pointless. No matter what twisted methods you use to keep me here, you will never trap my heart."

Hearing this, Maxwell's face contorted into something ugly.

His intense possessiveness exploded, his eyes gleaming with a desperate, reckless frenzy.

"It doesn't matter, Lyra. I can wait. You loved me once, so there's no way you can just throw those feelings away so quickly. I know I can make you fall in love with me again."

Lyra let out a mocking scoff. "Don't you feel ridiculous saying that? I'm warning you, let me go right now, or I swear I'll destroy you."

"Lyra, you've always been so smart, but why can't you read the room right now? You're in my hands. Whatever I want to do to you, you can't escape. Plus, this place is completely isolated. No one is coming to interrupt us."

As he finished speaking, Lyra felt him sit up.

Then came the rustling sound of clothes being taken off.
