Wife You Discarded is a Billionaire's Crush novel Chapter 167

"I'll do it myself!" Liliana hated this post-coital ritual, where he would toss her a birth control pill.

And she would have to obediently swallow it under his watchful eye.

No matter how many times it happened, the act still sent a sharp pain through her heart.

Though taking the initiative wouldn't change her standing in his eyes, it was a small way to preserve her pride.

Cedric felt the pill being snatched from his palm. His furrowed brow relaxed as he screwed the cap back on the bottle and put it away.

"From now on, try to be more sensible about things."

He was referring to her meeting with Douglas privately.

Liliana's lips were slightly swollen from his kisses, and when she pressed them together, the sting made her wince.

She simply turned over and lay down, ignoring him.

She didn't want to dig into why he had acted so erratically tonight.

Exhausted from being tormented, she quickly fell asleep.

Previously, Cedric's desires would only be this intense when he returned from a business trip.

Each time, Liliana's body would ache for days.

After a few hours of rest, a relentless soreness spread through her limbs.

In the morning, Liliana dragged her weary legs into the bathroom.

In the mirror, her lips were swollen and her neck was covered in faint bruises.

One glance was a stark reminder of the previous night's intensity.

The clothes scattered around the bathroom were a chaotic mess that flustered her.

She would be mortified if Erma saw them, so she cleaned up the bathroom after washing up, then changed and left for work.

To hide the marks on her neck, she specifically chose a white turtleneck sweater.

But she couldn't hide the cut on her lip.
