Too Late, Mr. Cooper: Your Bride Ran with Your Baby novel Chapter 176

After hanging up, he didn't bother waiting for Liam's reply.

Liam's taunts echoing in his mind. *Liliana doesn't want you anymore. You two broke up.*

A wave of pain washed over him. He hunched over slightly, his straight back bending, his handsome face paling.

He took a deep breath, his cool fingers trembling as he fought against a nameless dread, repeating the same mantra to himself. *It's okay. I'll win her back, no matter the cost. Just like before. We'll be okay again. We have to be. I swear it.*

Liliana slept until eight in the evening. Her lashes fluttered as she groggily opened her eyes. The unfamiliar room brought a moment of confusion, then the unwelcome memories came flooding back.

She remembered, with a jolt, that she was being held captive by that bastard, Linton. Her expression turning ugly. A wave of nausea rose in her stomach, as if she'd just swallowed something foul.

"Ugh..."

She sat up, clapping a hand over her mouth as she dry-heaved.

Just then, Linton walked in to check on her. "Liliana!" His face changed, and he rushed to her side, sitting on the bed and wrapping his arms around her thin shoulders. "What's wrong? Are you feeling sick?" he asked with concern.

Liliana scowled. She swung her hand and slapped him hard across the face, snapping his head to the side. Her beautiful eyes blazed with anger. "Get out! Don't touch me!"

Her temper was explosive. She was so frustrated she wanted to punch the entire planet into dust and end the game for everyone.
