CHAPTER 118
~Lilith's POV~
My father was many things, and loving wasn't one of them, but one of those words stood out… Ruthless.
Anger had filled his eyes when he heard I lost a challenge, which resulted in my losing the Vice President's position.
He wasn't concerned with me dropping out and claimed that was the least punishment, since I had embarrassed the Astror name.
And had the Heirs not made me drop out, he would have, himself.
The walls of my father's villa were too quiet, too clean and too still.
Once, I had been the storm in these halls—the golden girl with sharp heels and a sharper tongue.
I used to come home late from Council meetings, toss my bag on the stairs, and smirk at the maids like I owned the ground they walked on.
Now?
Now they barely looked me in the eye, not after the revelation of who I truly was came to light.
And now, I was a fallen Alpha daughter. Useless. Humiliated. Shamed.
