The heavy rain poured down relentlessly, gradually enveloping the tall figure in its downpour. ...Camilla didn't get much sleep that night, but she didn't want to disturb Jenna's rest either. So, Camilla asked her to go back to her room. Camilla's heart twisted and turned as she listened to the rain outside, and the emotions she had been suppressing came rushing back to the surface. But this time, she didn't cry.Her eyes cleared, and Camilla made up her mind.It was the next day. The rain had stopped, and the sky was a pretty shade of blue from the rain. However, the sun felt extremely hot today."Bad news!" A maid rushed into the manor in a panic. "Mr. Moore has fainted!"At that moment, in the dining hall, Jackie, Jenna, and Camilla were having a meal. Jackie's expression turned ugly at this. He turned to Camilla and observed her cold expression. He grew distressed at her eerie calmness."Notify the Moore family. Tell them to take him away," Jackie ordered coldly.
"Camilla, can I explain now, please?" Jayden stared at Camilla intently, increasingly panicking as he looked into her indifferent eyes.Camilla shook her head. "I don't want to hear it. Jayden, let's get a divorce."A divorce ... How could it be?"I don't agree," Jayden firmly refused. "Camilla, you're my wife. Now and forever more. I won't agree to a divorce."Camilla stared at him. "After going through all this, I suddenly realized I don't love you as much as I thought. It's the same for you. How about we separate and take some time to calm down? Maybe then we'll see that we can live without each other.""I won't," Jayden protested, "I won't be able to live well if you leave me. I would be better off dead."Camilla's lashes trembled, and she lowered her eyes. "But I don't want to stay by your side anymore. Jayden Moore, since you won't agree to our divorce, we'll do this the official way. You can leave now."With that, Camilla walked upstairs. Her decision was absolute, an
Jayden caught Camilla. He looked at her pale face and leaned down to peck her forehead gently. He said tenderly, "Sweetheart, we won't get a divorce."Jackie and Jenna were waiting for Camilla to return home. But an entire morning had passed, and Camilla hadn't come back. Jenna couldn't help but worry. "Why hasn't Camilla come back yet? Did something happen?"Jackie suggested, "I'll try calling her." He took out his phone and dialed Camilla's number.After a few rings, the call got rejected. "What's going on?" Jackie's brow furrowed, and he dialed again. This time, the phone indicated that it had been switched off."What happened?" Jenna nervously asked.Jackie's face hardened. "Camilla's phone is switched off.""Her phone had been switched off? Why would it be off?" Jenna wondered, perplexed by the situation. Jenna's heart sank. "Wasn't she getting a divorce? Could it be that Jayden doesn't agree to it?"Jackie's face darkened as he stood up and walked outside. "I'll go
"Sweetheart, we didn't have a good beginning, so I've never thought about the ending," Jayden whispered lovingly.However, Camilla felt chills running down her spine. She gave Jayden a strange look. She had never seen him like this before. She never knew that beneath his gentle exterior was an obsessive heart!"So what if you kept me by your side? It will only slowly diminish the love I have for you." Camilla tried to remain calm. "Jayden, can't you just let me go?""No." Jayden's smile faded. "Don't say such things, sweetheart. They upset me."He held her shoulders and pressed her down onto the bed, kissing her lips gently."This isn't over yet. You can't leave me," Jayden said in a low voice.Camilla's body trembled uncontrollably as fear washed over her. "Let me go! I don't love you anymore! Why are you forcing me, Jayden? Can't you just let me go as you did before?""Shh!" Jayden's gaze turned cold. "I don't like you saying such things. How could you not love me? You wer
Camilla stared at the maid in bewilderment. "I'm making it difficult for you? Don't you realize that following his orders to keep me here is making it difficult for me?"The maid looked at her with pity, but that was the extent of her response. Camilla pushed away the maid's hand and stood up on her own. She gazed around the luxurious manor. It was like a beautiful birdcage, and she was forcibly trapped within it. She returned to her room and sat on the edge of the bed, staring blankly ahead. She didn't know what to do.How long would Jayden keep her imprisoned? He didn't even bother to explain anything. What should she do?Camilla turned towards the window, gazing outside at the misty abyss. There were thorns growing. If she jumped down, she would fall to her death. He had cut off her escape route.Camilla's heart sank.Just then, a phone rang. Her head snapped around, and she saw the phone on the table. The screen kept flashing with the caller ID. She immediately rus
Jayden held her hand. "Sweetheart, you can't get emotional now. Calm down, okay?"Camilla shook off his hand. "Tell me, why did you do it?"Jayden stared at her. "Because he did something he shouldn't have. He deserves a punishment."A chill ran down her spine, and Camilla couldn't help but stumble back. She looked at his unfamiliar gaze. She never expected him to be this kind of person.Her suspicions were now confirmed. It was just a passing thought before, and she believed she might have been overthinking things. How could Jayden be like that?But now, the truth was right in front of her."You scare me, Jayden. You are a devil. How could I have fallen for you?" Camilla kept walking backward while shaking her head.Jayden's brows furrowed. He stepped closer and held her wrist. "Since you were waiting for me to have dinner together, let's go eat now."With that, he led her to the dining room."Let go of me! I don't want to have dinner with you!" Camilla struggled. This time
Jayden's brows knitted tightly together. He grabbed her wrist, his tone demanding. "I said you can't eat anymore."Camilla smiled bitterly. "Jayden, what am I to you? When you said we should marry, we got married. When you said I couldn't leave you, I couldn't leave. Now, you want to control my every action?"Jayden's breathing grew heavier at Camilla's sorrowful expression. "Sweetheart, I just think that we're at a special phase. We shouldn't rush into a divorce. Once this is over, I will explain everything to you, alright?""When will it be over?" Camilla looked at him coldly. "Do I have to die for it to end?""No, you won't die." Jayden stared into her eyes. "I'll cure you."Camilla was tired of hearing his repetitive words. She was nothing to him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so careless with her all this time. Whether it was when they were together, when they were married, or discussing her condition, he never took her seriously. It made her feel heartbroken."Let
"Hello, Mom," Jayden's gentle voice sounded.Cheryl asked, "Jayden, where did you bring Camilla? Also, why are you getting a divorce with her? What's going on? Come over now! And bring Camilla with you!"Jayden remained silent for a few seconds. "Camilla hasn't fully recovered yet. I just want to take care of her. She's fine, and we are not getting a divorce. Mom, please don't worry. I have other matters to attend to, so I'm hanging up now."Before Cheryl could react, Jayden hung up the call."Hello? Hello!" Cheryl's face turned grim. She never expected Jayden to say such things. How could he have dared to ignore his parents?Seeing Cheryl's dark expression, Jackie's expression soured as well. "What's wrong? Is he refusing to return my daughter? Jonathan, look at your son! He even kidnapped someone! I'm calling the cops!"With that, Jackie took out his phone."My dear in-law, please calm down. We haven't reached that point yet. Jayden and Camilla are still husband and wife. It
