Her mind was aplete mess, and she hadn’t even finished forming the thought when the words tumbled out of her mouth.
“I actually wanted to kiss Jackson. It’s just… with all the elders sitting there, it didn’t feel appropriate. That’s the only reason I didn’t kiss him in front of everyone. I mean, the oue–”
Was good. The family had agreed to the divorce. James, you don’t need to be upset.
Before she could finish her sentence, she felt a sudden tightness around her waist-James had pulled her forcefully into his arms.
The next second, his kiss crashed down on her lips like wildfire, burning and unstoppable.
It happened so fast that Lily froze in shock.
Then she realized-he was having another rpse.
This wasn’t about passion. The remnants of those meds in his system were messing with his head again.
She didn’t want to take advantage of him while he was like this. She ced her hands on his chest, trying to push him away.
James could feel her resisting.
He knew she already had someone else in her heart.
Tomorrow, after we finalized the divorce, she’d probably be wearing that diamond ring Jackson had picked out, starting a new life with him. They might even get their marriage certificate the same day.
I shouldn’t be doing this. I shouldn’t kiss her against her will.
But the moment I pictured her kissing Jackson-wanting to kiss him every single day-the rage and jealousy tore through me like a storm.
His sanity snapped. There was no distance left between them.
The softness and sweetness of her lips were pulling him deeper and deeper, like a dangerous addiction.
In one swift move, he spun her around and dragged her into his bedroom, pushing her against the wall. with a possessive force, deepening the kiss like a starving man.
“Why do your symptoms keep ring up like this?”
Lily was both anxious and concerned. “James, you never went to see a doctor, did you? You’re just- mmph…”
She wanted to convince him to get real treatment instead of hiding from it.

But his kisses grew more intense, stealing her breath, swallowing her words.
Logic screamed at her that he wasn’t in a clear state. That she should stop him.
But emotion… emotion made her want to wrap her arms around him and never let go.
I had booked a red-eye flight for tomorrow night.
Once the divorce is finalized and I finish my final performance, I would leave this city behind.
He’d stay in the capital.
I’d vanish into the south.
We’d never meet again.

The pain of letting go-and the overwhelming love she still had for him-made it impossible to keep pushing him away.
She couldn’t help herself
She wrapped her arms around him gently, allowing his fiery kiss to consume herpletely.
There was something about his scent-clean, cool, familiar.
Whenever she was in his arms, it felt like she was bathing in sunlight-warm, safe, and whole.
But after tomorrow morning, after that piece of paper was signed, the sun will vanish from my life. The warmth would slip further and further away.
So tonight, she let herself feel it all-onest time.
“James…”
It’s not enough.
Just kissing her like this wasn’t nearly enough.
The storm of longing and loss raging inside him drowned out everything else. He knew it was wrong. Knew it was crossing a line.
But his hands wouldn’t listen.
Especially the thought of Jackson doing the same-kissing her, touching her, owning her–it made James burn with a blinding jealousy that felt like it could rip him apart.
He gripped her waist tighter and tumbled with her onto the nearby couch.
Watching her chest rise and fall in fast, shaky breaths only made his need worse.
He wanted to ruin every inch of her sweetness.
He even had a selfish, shameful thought-

What if I destroy her and Jackson’s rtionship?
So what if she loved Jackson?
So what if she only wanted to be with Jackson?
She is my wife. My legal wife.
If I want her to stay, I’ll make her stay.
“Lily, can you…”
Break up with Jackson?
His lips were on her again, rough and urgent, stealing her breath.
His voice trembled, thick with heat and desperation.
“James, let go of me… I… I need to-”
She never finished her sentence.
Suddenly, she shoved him away with all her strength and whipped her head to the side, gagging over the trash can in dry, painful heaves.
James’s face went as dark as stone.
No…
Did I just make her puke again?
She finds kissing me that disgusting?
But Lily didn’t think James was disgusting.
She hadn’t thrown up because of him.
