Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 1136

Lucinda’s chest tightened the moment Kylie spoke. Caspian again. Always Caspian. It was obvious they just wanted her tied to him, so she wouldn’t get in the way of Lydia and Connor.

She shuffled over to the couch, head down, her eyes glistening with hurt as she faced her parents. “Dad, Mom, I broke up with him. I’m sorry. I know this isn’t what you wanted.”

Kylie’s mug hit the coffee table with a sharp clink, water splashing onto the spotless tablecloth. “You broke up? Lucinda, what happened? Did you and Caspian have a fight?” She set her mug aside, worry etched all over her face.

Cameron looked just as shocked. Caspian had always seemed so thoughtful and considerate since they started dating. How could things fall apart so quickly?

“Yeah, Lucinda, what happened between you two?” he asked.

Lucinda twisted the hem of her shirt, fingers pale from the grip, her voice shaking just a little. “Mom, he’s nice to me. He’s always giving me expensive gifts, taking me to fancy restaurants. But he never actually listens to me. He doesn’t care what I want. Every time we’re together, he just decides things for me. He’s too controlling, too possessive. Being with him feels suffocating.”

Cameron frowned, taking a slow sip of coffee, staying silent, clearly not buying her explanation.
