Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 114:

Joanna’s gaze remained fixed on Elyse. After Elyse’s disappearance, Jayden’s men combed the city in search of her. Their frantic efforts even reached Enzo’s ears. It seemed that Elyse held a significance to Jayden deeper than anyone had imagined.

With this thought, Joanna’s fists clenched tighter, a surge of jealousy and resentment coursing through her. Never before had anyone valued her in such a profound manner. The sensation of being taken seriously eluded her entirely. Joanna’s understanding crystallized, acknowledging her jealousy toward Elyse, even though the object of Elyse’s affection was someone she had previously dismissed as useless.

“You’re fortunate, Elyse. Encountering the man I abandoned and then forging a happy life,” Joanna’s voice dripped with bitterness.

Elyse, upon hearing Joanna’s words, responded with a derisive sneer, meeting Joanna’s gaze head-on. “Your choices are your own. They hold no sway over me. Now you envy me because Jayden and I share a love that runs deep, don’t you?”

Instead of succumbing to anger, Joanna chuckled. Her laughter reverberated with a chilling edge. “I admire your sharp tongue. You’ve managed to incense me successfully,” Joanna remarked, her eyes casting a menacing gaze upon Elyse, who lay vulnerable on the ground.

Sensing Joanna’s ominous intent, Elyse’s nerves prickled. “What are you planning?” she asked, her voice tinged with anxiety.

Without offering a reply, Joanna turned on her heel and exited the basement, a sly smile adorning her lips. Elyse’s heart raced with fear. She fervently hoped for Jayden’s swift arrival, her mind a tumult of desperate prayers.
