Rejected By My Husband, Desired By His Billionaire Brother의 모든 챕터: 챕터 131 - 챕터 137

“Come on Aaron Aldridge, make a choice, you're lovely brother, or Lily?” Viktor repeated, a manic note slipping into the edge of his voice.Lily stiffened ever so slightly, briefly recalling what she heard from those guards.Viktor still had William. What was he going to do? And…Her eyes found Aaron's again.What was Aaron going to choose?“Come on–”“You know, for someone who set up a grand scheme like this, you're awfully stupid.” Aaron suddenly sneered, eyes darkening. “Why would I ever choose William?”“Because,” Viktor drawled, pressing Lily tighter against him, the knife digging deeper into her skin keeping her in place when she struggled, “if you don’t, William will suffer the consequences of his actions.”Lily stilled, a frown forming. “Viktor, stop this madness. You’ve done enough.” she threw over her shoulder. Viktor however, simply chuckled low, brushing his lips near her ear. “Madness to you, maybe. But to me? This is how I express my love. Whether you accept it or not,

Color completely drained from Megan's face as soon as Thomas said those words.“W-what are you talking about?” She stuttered, taking one shaky step towards him. “You called the police? Why? For your mother? For the only real family you have left?” The questions flew off her lips frantically, but at the edge of each question was the feeble hope she still clung to.That hope however, shattered the moment Thomas met her gaze, eyes devoid of the lingering guilt or remorse she expected them to have.“Lily and Grandpa are the only family I have left.” He said coldly.Something snapped inside Megan at that moment—the last hope salvation snapping like a lost thread—she collapsed to the floor, staring at his shoes like they were the cause of her problem.“Why?” She muttered. The first tear made its way down her face before her body shook with sobs. “I was only thinking of your future. I did everything I did because I wanted the best for you, so why did it turn out like this?!” She cried, buryi

“What’s going on here?”Both of their heads snapped towards the entrance at the sound of Thomas’s voice.Lily stiffened, the moment her eyes landed on her brother, but quickly, she forced a smile and lifted her hand as if to wave the tension away. “It’s–”“I wasn't talking to you, Lilian.” He cut her off, eyes fixed on Aaron. “Mr. Aldridge, what's going on here?” He repeated, tone taking a sterner note. “Tommy–”But before she could finish, Aaron stepped forward, sliding his hand firmly into hers.Thomas caught the gesture instantly. His eyes narrowed, brows drawing together as a frown grew on his face. His eyes snapped back to Aaron's and a glare settled on his face. “Have you already forgotten what we talked about, Mr. Aldridge?” Aaron’s jaw tightened, but his voice was steady. “I haven’t forgotten. But unfortunately… I won’t be able to keep that promise.”A sharp chuckle escaped Thomas, low and mocking. “This is a joke, right?”Aaron didn’t flinch. His expression remained unshak

Lily’s whole body tensed the moment the line cut, but the sound that had reached her before the line died replayed tauntly in her ear.She didn’t even blink as her gaze flickered to Thomas. He was already pushing himself off the edge of his desk with urgency written in his movements as he approached her, taking his stop by her side.But his presence did little to soothe the obvious fact hanging above her head and the more Lily thought about it, about the sound she'd just heard before the line went dead and the meaning behind it, the more her stomach knotted.“What just happened?” Her whisper cracked as if her voice had been stripped raw in an instant.With trembling hands, she redialed Aaron’s number and gripped the phone tightly, desperately praying he'd pick it up.Much to her utter displeasure, the voice that greeted her, did not belong to her lover. “The customer you are calling is unavailable. Please try again later.” The lifeless automated voice made her chest tighten and her h
