Chapter115

I was nearly ready to risk everything. Petups I could slowly cam that so million dollars on my own, then bring up divorce with Jonathan.

But untilthen, I would have to keep enduring the humiliationed watching him and Alicia flaunt their affair. It just wasn’t worth it

That price was just too Mgh..

with Jametha

Wut terrified me even more was the possibility of regaining my memories before the divorce, What would I even do then!

I had sworn would never be some lour–crazed fool again..

But after listening to Aria speak so comedently just now, I started to doubt myself. Thepan to panic.

What if I turned back into that reckless gal who dropped everything and lived only for Jonathan once I got all my memoriesback

If that was who I truly was, then I would rather have been dead.

Jonathan didn’t know whatwasgoing themghing mind. His gaze was cold and heavy. It felt like a storm was about to break.

“Elise,ishe the reason you want a divorce?!

His voice was no chilling that it made my skin crawl

1couldn’t drag Frederick intothis,so1 firmly said, “Don’t you get it? It’s not because of Frederick Iwant a divorce because ofyou.

I looked him straight in the eyes and added, “You don’tloveme. You don’t respect me.Youdon’teven care about me. To you, even the smallest thing about Alicia matters morethanmy life, So tell me, what’s the point of a mantage like this?”

Jonathan tightened his grip around mywrist. His darkeyeswere so intense that it felt like I might drowninthem.

“You’re my one and only Mrs. Ford. In’t that enough?”

I pulled my band away and said, “Maybeto you, that titleisaprivilege. But to me, it’s nothing but a cage. Jonathan, I don’t want to be your Mrs. Ford anymore. IAliciawants it sobadly, give it to her. What’s stopping you?“.

I thought 1 sounded calmandsincere. I wasn’t trying to startafight. In fact, I was just beinghonestabout how I felt, but he still looked at me like every word I saidwasa personal attacken Alicia.

“If you really want to fight over this, then I give you an answer,” he said.

“What end of answer?

I looked ham in the eye, feeling drained.

Jonathan zisedhishandandgentlycuppedmy face. “Alicia’s birthday party is next week Come with me.”

Timmediately slapped hishandaway. “Don’t eventhinkabout it. I’m not poing.”

Just as I tumed to leave, he called out behind me. “You saw it younell, There’s something going on between Jim and Alicia.”

“So what?” I replied

“If I really had something with Alicia, I wouldn’t let her get that close to jim,”he explained.

Mystfallend for a mon

i moment, but Ididn’trespond. Perhaps he really didn’t have feelings for Alicia.

But even if that were true, what did it matter?

The way he openly favored her had already madeafooloutofmein front of everyone. There was no way could justforgivethat.

Doing thatwouldbe a betrayed of the25–year–old me who endured five painful years because of him.

IsawAria walkout of fan’s offer. Her eyes were red and putty. It looked like she had been crying.

Meanwhile, Alicia was sitting casually in ‘s chair. She rested her chin in her hand and looked up with a face ballot take innocence

Shedeliberately led Aia, “Youren stopping by Jim’sofficequitealot lately. The youlikehim or something!

I walked up just in time to hear her pretend–to–be–casual question

Aria’ueyes were lilled with panic. She pressed her lips togetherhut said nothing. However, her gate justinctively shifted to jim.

“Idon‘!” the stammered.

Evenler denial lacked conviction. She didn’t have the courage to adunt her feelings to Jim, but she couldn’t bring herself to deine them outright either. She simphi couldart let go of (lose quei, gemine nations she had for him.
