Chapter33

Jonathan still didn’t understand why I wanted a divorce after all this time.

I suddenly let outabitter Lugh

I was chillingly calm as I replied, “I don’t haveanyfeelings for you anymore. Every day with you feels worse than death.”

I spoke the cruelest words in the calmest tone possible.

Sure enough, the intense cloudiness in Jonathan’s eyes seemed to lift, as if my sharp words had sliced right through it.

He paused for a long time, then gave a half–laugh, as if mocking himself. “Fine. If you want a divorce, let’s go by the agreement.”

Our premiptial agreement stated that if I wanted to initiate the divorce,Ihadto pay him 100 million dollars in compensation

I gritted my teeth and decided to go all in. “Do you think I can’t make 100 million dollars? I’ll eam it and show you!“.

Jonathan looked at me coolly, “I’ll wait and see

“When I earn that money, will you divorce me willingly?” I asked.

Jonathan Mared at me steadily. “We’ll talk about it once you eam that much money.”

Anger surged in my chest.

much.

The truth was, I couldn’t eam that much. Afterall, I had lost my memory, and in my mind, I was still barely an adult. For an 18–year–old like me, 100 million dollars was a sum I couldn’t even dreamofeaming,

However, the feeling of being looked down upon wasunbearable, and it sparked an intense, inexplicable determination within me.

I looked at him and said. “Just wait, Jonathan. One day, I’llthrowthat money in your face!”

Jonathan scoffed, but he didn’t say anything in response.

I took a step back and firmly said, “Before that happens, I need you to promise me something.”

He raised an eyebrow. “Tell me first. Imaynot agree.”

“First, our relationship isalreadybeyondrepair. I don’t want to see you, and I certainly don’t want to see Alicia,” I said, pausing for a moment before continuing.” If you insist on keeping me here, then I don’twanteither ofyoucoming near me.”

Jonathan frowned but remained silent.

After a long pause, he said, “If you don’t want to see her, I’ll make

With that, be pushed open the door and left.

I stared at his retreating back, feeling confused. Did he agree or not?

ice she stays out of your sight.”

I wanted both of themtostayawayfromme, but he only mentioned Alicia. What about him?

In the days that followed, Jonathan kept his word and kept Alicia awayfromme.

He also had someone watch over me, ensuring, I couldn’t leave.

During the day, he would gotowork. After having dinner with Edward at night, he would return to the room and lie next to me in bed.

No matter how much I expressed my dissatisfaction, it was as though he didn’t hear a word,

He would normally talk to me like everything was fine, but as soonasImentioned divorce or asked him to sleep in a different toom, he would act as if hehadn’theard a word

After several protests,lie would threaten me with certain things until Iwasforcedtoclosemy

my mouth in frustration.

Over time, I became increasingly withdrawn andbeganspeakingless.

I had essentially been imprisoned in Ford Manor. Aside from the maid and Jonathan, there was hardly anyone I could talk to.

I was starting to feel suffocated,asif I was spiraling into depression. A week passed, and I lostasignificant amount of weight. That night, Jonathan lay next to me as usual.As he casually touched my and, he frowned. “How did you lose so

so much v

I didn’t answET

He avoided my questions, and I began avoiding his.

We fell into a strange cold war.

Since I didn’t respond, Jonathanfrownedslightly. He tumed me to face him and looked into my eyes. “Howlong are you going to keep throwing a tantrum?
