Chapter 8 - Audrey Confronts Julian About His Real Intentions
Julian scrambled to his feet, trying to regain his composure while backing away toward the window. "What are you talking about, Audrey? Of course there's a baby," Julian lied desperately, his voice cracking slightly.
"Stop lying, Julian," Audrey snapped, setting her teacup down on the desk with a sharp clink. "I never went to a doctor, and I was never pregnant. I made it up just to see how fast you would come running back."
Julian’s mask of charm completely shattered, replaced by a dark, ugly expression of pure fury. "You played me?" Julian snarled, taking a threatening step forward. "You lied to me just to humiliate me again?!"
"I wanted to see what you actually cared about," Audrey fired back, her voice echoing off the penthouse walls. "And it turns out my mother was right about men like you from the very beginning."
Julian laughed bitterly, running a hand through his hair in frustration. "You think you're so smart sitting on your high horse, Audrey! Your father built this empire on stolen land and ruined lives!"

"At least my father earned his fortune instead of hunting for a rich bride to steal it," Audrey retorted sharply. Julian glared at her with pure hatred, realizing his golden ticket to the Bellamy fortune had just vanished into thin air.
"It's over, Julian," Audrey said, pointing toward the front door. "Get out of my apartment before I call security and have you thrown out like the trash you are." Julian slammed his fist against the wall, grabbed his coat, and stormed out into the night.
