Chapter 880:
“You refuse to share a bed with me because you’ve stopped being loyal! You’ve fallen under that harlot Elyse’s spell again! I’m going to make her pay!” Aarya shouted, her voice trembling with rage.
Jayden observed Aarya’s pointless display of fury and laughed. He pulled Elyse closer, wrapping an arm around her waist, and kissed her without hesitation. Both women were taken aback, their expressions filled with shock. Facing Aarya, Jayden smirked and raised an eyebrow. “Under her spell? You still don’t understand, do you? Elyse has always been the one I wanted. I’ve never stopped loving her.”
Hearing this, Elyse’s body shook, and she gazed at Jayden with a mixture of disbelief and panic. “That can’t be true! How could that be possible? You were clearly involved with Aarya!”
Noticing her confusion, Jayden sighed. He squeezed her shoulder gently and murmured, “Sweetie, I’ll explain it all later. Just trust me for now.”
Elyse’s thoughts were a chaotic whirlwind. What was happening? Was Jayden implying he had always cared for her? But how on earth could someone who truly cared for her be with another woman? Now, he wanted her faith again. How shameless could he be?
Elyse bit her lip, feeling lost and unsure. Seeing Jayden’s tender behavior toward Elyse, Aarya was stung with envy.
Looking at Jayden with pain-filled eyes, she asked pitifully, “Is this because I slipped something into your drink? Are you punishing me now?”
Jayden shook his head calmly. “No, I’m not upset with you. What you did just gave me a reason to be intimate with the woman I love.”
He leaned in closer to Elyse, whispering, “How did it feel? You loved it when I had sex with you, right?”
Elyse’s cheeks turned scarlet, and she quickly covered her face.
Aarya’s eyes filled with anger and resentment. Fighting to keep her composure, she demanded, “If she has always been in your heart, then why did you pursue me? Why act so loving and make me think I would be your future wife? Why did you sleep with me so passionately that day?”
She looked at him with desperate hope. “Surely, you must have felt something for me, right?”
Jayden met her gaze for a long moment before answering coldly, “How could I have genuine feelings for you?” Seeing the fear and shock on Aarya’s face, his smile turned dark. “Every word I said about a future with you was nothing but a performance.”
“And what about when we were intimate? You were a beast in bed, like you wanted to devour me. You seemed to enjoy every moment with me. That had to mean something, didn’t it?” Aarya was visibly desperate. She wanted nothing more than for Jayden to say that he had some genuine feelings for her.
Jayden smiled faintly, amused by her desperation. “That wasn’t even me that night.”
“Shut up! It was you!” Aarya recoiled, refusing to accept his words.
With a cruel smile, Jayden continued slowly and deliberately, “Honestly, I have no clue who was with you that night. But whoever it was, I owe him thanks. His actions helped me achieve my goal effortlessly.” . . .
