I Chose Me Over My Marriage novel Chapter 94

Under the moonlight, wearing green-tinted sunglasses and an all-white designer suit.

The man paused for merely a second before striding confidently toward Lyra.

"Got it, Mom. I'm hanging up now."

Just as she ended the call, the man stopped right in front of her.

"Long time no see."

He dragged out the silence intentionally.

"Mrs. Sterling."

Since marrying into the Sterling family, Lyra had heard him use that title exactly five times.

It wasn't that he lacked manners; their families simply never interacted. Outside of mandatory holiday banquets, they practically never crossed paths.

And the arrogant, untamed man standing before her was none other than the sole heir of the Sterling Rivals, Maxwell's cousin—Marcus Sterling.

"You shouldn't call me that anymore," Lyra smiled calmly. "Max and I are already divorced."

Marcus raised an eyebrow. "Is it officially finalized?"

Before she could answer, he kept talking.

"I saw the rumors trending online but didn't buy a word of it. After all, everyone in Metropolis knows how desperately you loved my cousin."

"Time changes everything. Just look... at you."

With a single sentence, she deflected his sharp mockery and turned the blade right back at him.

Growing up, he had always been at the top of his class, effortlessly crushing Maxwell under his heel.

Yet the moment Maxwell was handed the reins to the Sterling Group, Marcus's personality underwent a drastic shift, morphing into an entirely different person.

Rebellious and unmanageable—the words seemed tailor-made for him.

Lyra had speculated in the past that if Marcus hadn't started acting like such a trainwreck, Godfrey wouldn't have felt secure handing the entire empire over to Maxwell.

Taking a sudden step forward, she went on her tiptoes and whispered in a voice only he could hear.

"But I know that, just like me, you're wearing a mask."

Marcus's body went imperceptibly rigid.
