My Husband's Affair My Anniversary Gift (Lily and David) novel Chapter 87

A tall, familiar figure stepped inside the elevator.

Her breath caught in her throat. David.

Lily’s eyes widened as shock rushed over her. “You...what are you doing here?” she demanded, her voice tight and sharp. “You should be at the hospital with your mother.”

David didn’t reply right away. He leaned against the wall with casual arrogance, his hand pressing the button to her floor without hesitation. His silence made her chest tighten with unease.

“I asked you something,” Lily said again, her tone rising with fury. “What are you doing here?”

Finally, David’s eyes turned toward her. They were dark, unreadable, but the sly curve of his lips betrayed something mocking.

“You were supposed to be having dinner with Jabco, weren’t you?” His voice dripped with sarcasm. “Or did he ditch you?”

A smirk spread across his face, cruel and provoking.

Lily’s jaw clenched, her anger bubbling. “Shut up, David,” she snapped. “Leave me alone.”

She tried to take a step back, but he moved closer, closing the space between them. His hand suddenly found her waist, gripping her firmly and pulling her toward him.

Lily’s eyes flared wide as she shoved both palms hard against his chest, trying to create distance. “Let me go!” she hissed, her voice trembling with fury. “You have no right.....”

But David only leaned in, his words hot and venomous near her ear.

“No one will handle you but me,” he murmured with dangerous confidence. “Forget Jabco. He can’t take you away from me. He’s already engaged.”

The mocking lilt in his tone made Lily’s blood boil. Her heart pounded painfully against her ribs. Her eyes burned, not with tears, but with sheer rage.

Her hand shot up before she could even think—smack!

The sharp sound echoed in the confined elevator. Lily’s palm stung from the force of the slap, but the sight of David’s shocked expression fueled her anger further.

“I am not like your lover,” she spat, her chest rising and falling rapidly. “I will never get between someone else’s marriage. Not like her.”

Her voice dripped with disgust as she glared at him.
