Mr Melendez,Your Wife Wants Divorce Long ago novel Chapter 18

Chapter 18

Jayceon deliberately slowed his words, his tone measured and cold. “When your family fell into bankruptcy, I covered more than 150 million dollars of your parents’ debts. I purchased a property for them and your brother right in the city center, worth over 1.8 million dollars. Every month, I transfer fifteen thousand dollars directly into your parents’ bank account. And the elite school your brother attends costs over a hundred and fifty thousand dollars each month.”

He paused briefly, letting the weight of his statement sink in before continuing, “And that’s not even counting what I’ve spent on you.”

Arabella felt a sharp ache twist inside her chest, so intense it made her breath catch. The pain was almost suffocating.

She forced herself to maintain her composure, her eyes blazing with stubborn defiance. “Jayceon, when you married me and helped my family, you gained fame along with it. We never signed a prenuptial agreement before our wedding. What you’re doing is cheating. I’m leaving without damaging your reputation. I’m not asking for a single cent from the assets we share. What more could you possibly want from me?”

Jayceon didn’t even bother to hide his true intentions. “Arabella, I’m a businessman. I didn’t marry you out of kindness. We didn’t sign a prenup because I was confident you couldn’t take a single cent from me.”

His words were merciless, delivered with a chilling detachment.

Arabella found herself speechless, drained of any argument.

It was painfully clear: when a marriage crumbled, all that remained was cold calculation and self-interest.

Fighting back tears that threatened to spill, Arabella, feeling humiliated, pulled a pen and paper from her bag and began to write an IOU for Jayceon.

Her voice quivered as she asked, “Just tell me… how much do I owe you? Including principal and interest?”

Jayceon snatched the pen from her trembling hand. “When I cleared your family’s debts, it was with real money. A simple IOU won’t cut it.”

Arabella felt trapped, cornered by the man she once loved so deeply.

She never imagined Jayceon could push her to this breaking point.

Tears streaming down her face, she pleaded, “Jayceon, what exactly do you want from me?”

Jayceon straightened, his expression hardening. “If you want a divorce, fine. Since you’ve been married to me for three years, I’ll give you a discount. One hundred and fifty million dollars in total. I want it in cash.”

Arabella’s eyes reddened with helplessness. “I don’t have that kind of money right now.”

Jayceon placed his hands firmly on her shoulders, his voice softening just enough to sound almost gentle. “Then just behave like Mrs. Melendez. Stop overthinking everything.”

Overwhelmed, Arabella pushed him away. “I can’t do that either!”

Jayceon released her, his voice turning cold and distant again. “Arabella, I spent that money on your family to stabilize our marriage. If you can’t keep it going, your family will have to pay it all back. You can’t have it both ways.”

Arabella stared blankly at the man who had been her love for so many years.

So, in his eyes, their marriage was nothing more than a business transaction.
