The divorced military queen awakens novel

Chapter 120 I Am The Only One Special For the next two days , Julius didn't step outside the mansion at all . Quinn also remained inside with him until they were interrupted by an unexpected visitor . With a surprised look on her face , Marley asked Quinn , " Why are you here ? " " I'm staying here for now , " replied Quinn nonchalantly . Marley's expression shifted slightly .

Julius ' parents once lived in this mansion , and apart from the house staff , Julius had never allowed anyone else to live there . " Quinn , don't think that you're special to Julius just because you live in this mansion , " Marley sneered . " There's a room in the mansion that Julius never lets anyone enter . You've never been in there , have you ? " Quinn was surprised . When she had moved into the mansion , Julius had indeed told her not to enter the room at the end of the third floor .

" But I've been there before ! " Marley declared arrogantly , acting as if she were the true victor in that moment . " So what ? " said Quinn calmly . She wasn't the curious type to begin with . So , when Julius initially told her about the forbidden room , she didn't feel the need to figure out what was inside . After all , it was someone else's private matter .

Marley's expression darkened , as if she had thrown a powerful punch with all her might , expecting to see a look of loss , defeat , and pain on Quinn's face . However , Quinn seemed utterly unaffected . " Quinn , don't you get it ? This means that I'm the only one special to Julius . I'm the only one who knows his secrets . And even if I break his rules , he'll always forgive me ! " Marley held her chin high with pride . Joquin simply couldn't be bothered with Marley .

She stepped forward , intending to leave . 1 Marley was far from satisfied . She blocked Quinn's path and continued , " You don't know anything about Julius . You haven't seen his cruel side , nor his pitiful side , have you ? Only I have seen those ! Back then , his mother neglected him , and his father abused him . I was the one who accepted him . I was the only one who could stand by his side ! You probably have no idea how pitiful he was back then .

If it weren't for me , he might not have survived ! " The more Marley spoke , the more smug she became , and the more daring her words grew . Quinn frowned . " Enough , Marley , you'd better stop talking . I don't want to listen anymore ! " After all , this was Julius ' private affairs . Moreover … Quinn didn't think that such painful matters should be spoken about so lightly by Marley . Yet , Marley felt like she had gained the upper hand and wasn't about to let it go .

She continued in her self- satisfied manner , " Do you know how his father mistreated him ? I'm the only one who knows ! " Just as Quinn was about to scold Marley , she paused upon seeing a figure appear behind Marley . 1/2 It was Julius ! He was walking over silently . Clearly , he had heard what Marley had just said ! Marley saw Quinn in a daze and thought that her words had struck a nerve .

A malicious smile appeared on her lips as she said , " He never told you how his mother died , did he ? But I know . I was there with him when she died . You have no idea what he was like then- " Suddenly , her voice came to an abrupt halt . A hand had stealthily gripped her throat , the slender fingers so chillingly cold it was frightening ! " What was I like back then ? I'm actually quite curious to know ." His voice , unusually cold and murderous , echoed in Marley's ears .

A chill ran down Marley's spine as her face turned deathly pale . The fingers clutching her neck were as rigid as steel , leaving her unable to breathe in an instant . Almost instinctively , she wanted to pry his fingers open . However , no matter how hard she tried , she couldn't manage to loosen them even a bit . The air in Marley's lungs was depleting rapidly , and a sudden , overwhelming fear of death enveloped her . " What's the matter ? Why aren't you speaking ?

Weren't you quite talkative just a moment ago ? " Julius said , his voice icy . Since Marley's back was to Julius , she couldn't see his expression at that moment . However , she knew very well in her heart that the words she had spoken earlier had crossed the line . She had simply wanted to flaunt her relationship with him in front of Quinn , a relationship that Quinn could never have . Her intention was to make Quinn realize the gap that existed between them .

She never expected that Julius would overhear these words . " Spare … spare me , Julius … I … I didn't mean to …" Marley's face had turned beet red as she struggled to get the words out . 2/2
