His fake wife, their real obsession
"No, no, no... Lydia, you can't do this. This is my company! My father built this! You're my wife... we’re a family!"
"We were never a family, Julian," I said, my voice ice-cold. "You made sure of that when you brought that whore into my bed."
"Lydia, please!" Julian lunged forward, trying to grab my hands, but Zane instantly stepped between us, his iron hand clamping onto Julian’s collar and shoving him back with effortless, brutal force.
Julian hit the banister hard, coughing, but he didn't even look at Zane. He looked past him, his eyes pleading, desperate, and pathetic.
