Her Heart Her Terms (Lily and Xavier) novel Chapter 115

Chapter 115 

Lity couldn’t understand. She was Xavier’s wife. Wasn’t it only natural for her to want a legitimate title? 

Why did Xavier look at her like she was asking for something unreasonable like she was being greedy? 

He wouldn’t give her the title or let her work and wanted her to be nothing more than a servant to him. Meanwhile, she had to watch him and flaunt their relationship in the media, pretending to be the perfect couple. 

How much longer could she be pushed around? 

but it was a mountain for he 

Well, it seemed that she was easy to bully. Lily took a deep breath, trying to calm the frustration and resentment that simmered inside her. The Joyner family had no money. Hayden needed 100 thousand dollars for treatment, a small amount for most people, but i 

She had no choice but to endure things and let Xavier manipulate her for that money. 

“I’m not asking for a title, so don’t force me to quit my job,” she said. “As for other things around the house… if you need me, I can handle them too.” The light cast a cool, sharp shadow across Xavier’s features. He sneered in disdain. “Who cares?” 

It had only been two years since Lily had taken care of him. His demand for her to quit wasn’t because he thought she was doing well–it was just a habit. One he would probably break soon enough 

With that, he turned and headed upstairs 

However, he didn’t insist on her quitting Lily wondered if maybe Xavier didn’t want to make their marriage public. 

Had she gained the upper hand in this situation? She lowered her head, and the corner of her lips curved upward, but it was a bitter, painful smile The argument downstairs didn’t seem to dampen Xavier’s mood. After they both showered and lay down, the lights went out. 

The room fell into darkness, and just as Lily was settling onto the bed, she felt a warm hand settle on her waist. 

She couldn’t understand it. Just an hour ago, the man who had been fiercely arguing with her downstairs now gazed at her with eyes full of unspoken 

His lips brushed against her ear, his breath warm against her skin as if it could burn her. Lily became restless under his touch. Suddenly, he spoke, his voice rough and gravelly, “As long as you’re Mrs. Fulton, you need to follow your duties as a wife. Understand?” “Okay.” Lily’s voice was soft, almost like a whisper, the kind of sound that could melt anyone’s heart. 

In the darkness, Xavier’s deep gaze held a satisfied smile. No matter how Lily struggled, he was in control, and that was enough. 

Late into the night, they were tangled in each other’s embrace 

In the early hours, Xavier released her and went into the bathroom to shower. Lily climbed out of bed, her legs aching, and took the medicine nightstand 

Lately, Xavier hadn’t reminded her to take the medication. She always did it on her own. 

After taking medicine, she grabbed her phone and searched for the Avelon Designs Design Competition, finding the registration link. 

The competition had been open for a while now, with the deadline looning–tomorrow morning at 8:00 am
