Lilith's eyes sparkled with a thrill she didn't bother to hide.
"Now, shall we get to the good part? The part where you find out what refusing a billion dollars and godlike power actually earned you?"
Alex blinked. "Wait. There are still rewards?I thought... "
The question came out more surprised than he'd intended.
Honestly, he'd been so focused on Linda being safe, on the family staying intact, on not becoming corrupted... the idea of rewards hadn't even crossed his mind.
He'd pressed that button believing he would lose everything.
That was the whole point, wasn't it?
Lilith's smile widened into something absolutely wicked, her eyes dancing with barely contained glee.
She looked like a child on Christmas morning who knew exactly what presents were hidden under the tree and could barely wait to see someone else's reaction to them.
"Oh, sweetheart," she purred, leaning forward with an expression of pure, delicious anticipation. "You have no idea."
