Chapter 58
Jonathan looked like he was about to explode, and there was a storm brewing in his eyes. I could even see the veins in his neckbulging like his blood was boiling
with rage
1 screamed at the top of my lungs, “How dare you hit me?
As far as I could remember, no one had ever hit me. But just now, he actually slapped me across the mouth. It might not have been a slap to the face, but getting siached in the mouth wasn’t much better
I complained. “Who the hell gave you the right to slap my mouth? How dare you?!
Jonathan grabbed my chin, his intense eyes locked onto mine. “Take back what you just said.
Eglared at him. “No way. Why should I take it back? you did it, but you can’t handle being called out?”
without warning, he tossed me onto the bed, killing the intimate mood just moments ago. He fled his cold gaze on me. “How could you say something so outrageous, Elise?”
I retorted, “So, It’s my fault for calling you out, but not yours for doing it?
I stared at Jonathan through gritted teeth with the taste of blood filling my mouth. “You kept saying Alice was like a sister to you, but you treated her like a girlfriend the entire time.
His face darkened again, clouded with emotions I couldn’t read. A chill can down my spine, and I shrank back, but he still caught me with his hand.
1 grunted in pain as he grabbed my neck. I struggled to breathe, glaring at him with bloodshot eyes.
He shouted, “Apologize!”
“I won’t,” I choked out on the verge of suffocating.
Fuming, I was ready to charge at him, but he had already closed the door. I slammed thy fist against the door, loud thuds shaking the trame. “What gives you the right to lock me up, Jonathan? I want a divorce.”
shouted and screamed ford inside, pounding hard on the door. Theard footsteps outside, but it eventually went quiet.
1 low my cries teached them, but no one dared to open the door.
Leaning against the door, I slowly sank to the flour. It finally hit me how wide the gap was between Jonathan and ine. I stayed there all day, from dawn till dusk, staning into nothing
The Housekeepers brought one food a few times, but I ignored them and didn’t eat Every time I remembered that he locked me in here, I wanted to smack myself for being stupid
What the bell was i thinking back then? Why did I may someone out of my league in terms of family background?
I didn’t get rich, didn’t win his heart, and still ended up being betrayed. Worst of all, these upper–class snobs looked down on ne every day, and now I couldn’t even leave this marriage when I wanted to
