Chapter 642:

Jayden’s fingers tightened around Elyse’s chin, his grip forcing her to wince. Tears welled in her eyes as she struggled against the pain, staring into his deep eyes.

“Elyse,” his voice was cold and menacing. “But I think this is thriving, exceptional, even. Don’t you dare think about leaving me.”

Elyse’s lip curled in disgust. “You call this control thriving? Have we ever been equal, Jayden? Or am I not worthy of speaking to you as an equal?”

Confusion flickered across Jayden’s face. “What are you talking about? I’ve never belittled you.” He released her suddenly, sighing deeply. “Okay, okay. Maybe I didn’t explain myself properly after our fight yesterday. Let me shower. I’ll come out and explain everything.”

Elyse remained silent, her eyes downcast, lips tightly set.

As Jayden started undressing, his voice echoed through the room again. “Later, we can look at houses you might like. Just point them out, and I’ll get one for you. Then you’ll finally have a place to call your own.”

Turning to face Elyse, he saw tears still streaming down her cheeks. He moved close, wiping them gently, his tone softening. “I promise to fulfill every desire you have. Just don’t think about leaving, okay?”

Exhausted, Elyse avoided his gaze. “I’m tired. I’m going to bed.”

“I’ll join you after I shower,” Jayden said, heading towards the bathroom.

Elyse trudged to the bed, collapsing beneath the weight of fatigue. Almost instantly, she drifted into a deep sleep.
