Chapter 20:

Lilliana felt Joshua's words hit her deeply, but she forced herself to keep her composure. "I'm not afraid of him. I just don't feel like writing the song myself."

Joshua replied, “Just compose something and get it over with. Alicia has been married for two years, sitting at home cooking and taking care of everything. She has forgotten everything. She is nothing special. Why bother with her?”

Lilliana pouted, clearly dissatisfied. “Are you really not willing to spend the money on me? Fine, I’ll do it myself.”

In a firm tone, Joshua replied, “Lilliana, you know I would spend anything on you. It's not that I don't want to, but in this case it's not worth it. Stop acting like that.”

Lilliana bit her lip in frustration. She knew how much Joshua had pampered her over the past two years. He had spent millions on her without a second thought.

“Okay,” Lilliana agreed, although it was clear she wasn’t entirely happy.

That same night, when Joshua returned home from work, something unexpected awaited him. As soon as he walked through the door, a gentle figure threw herself into his arms.

The room was dark, but the strong scent of perfume filled the air, with an intoxicating effect that quickly awakened something inside her.

He clung to Lilliana, kissing her roughly as his hands roamed her body with clear intent. Knowing exactly what he wanted, Lilliana responded eagerly.

"Turn on the lights. I want to see you, hubby."

The word “hubby” sparked something in Joshua’s mind, making him remember his early days with Alicia. He remembered how she had shyly called him “hubby,” her eyes filled with sincerity and love. Back then, Alicia’s emotions had been raw and real. All she had ever wanted was his affection.
