Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness
Chapter 87
There was no way Emily would accept defeat to anyone, most especially to Melinda. Jonas had always belonged to her, ever since they were mere children. Sure, she might have left him behind years ago, but she had good reason to do it.
She was in dire straits then; he had no penny to his name. She needed someone who could help her elevate her status, and Jonas wasn’t that man yet. He wasn’t given any right to the Gu family inheritance.
If she’d only known that Melinda would enter the picture at the time of her absence! It wasn’t even Jonas, but Nelson, who wanted to take Melinda into the family, going as far as using Jonas's right to inheritance as bait to get them to wed!
She made the right decision by coming back just in the nick of time. But she had underestimated the old man’s stubborn resolve. She had underestimated Melinda as well, the bitch!
And now she was on the verge of losing everything again. She could never let that happen; she knew the only person powerful enough to reverse her circumstances was Jonas.
He had always served as her contingency plan when things got rough, and Emily was sure that this time wouldn’t be any different. After all, he came running all the way from Japan when he heard she had gotten injured.
But when they saw each other again, and after she explained her situation, all she got was a flat and resounding refusal. "I made it thoroughly clear the last time. I wouldn’t be helping you in any way anymore."
Jonas never was a man who got back on his word. He was firm in his resolve when he made his decision, and he would always stand by it. Besides, he had made a promise to Melinda, and that alone carried a significant weight over everything else.
He also knew that if he would give in yet again to his childhood friend, his wife would only misunderstand his intentions. He was having a rough enough time already; he had no reason to invite further troubles into their marriage.
"Are you being serious right now?" Emily asked incredulously. "Are you really going to be so cruel? Don’t you see that I’m being bullied? Are you just going to let this continue?"
"What I don’t want to continue is you constantly running to me and disrupting my time with my wife! I know you well enough to know that if I help you again, it would never stop; these scenes will only keep on repeating themselves. I’ve made a promise to my wife and my grandfather, Emily. There’s no longer anything you can count on me for."
"Jonas, how could you change so much," Emily started to sob. "You always protected me! Are you forgetting all those times, when we were still children?"
"That was in the past. You’re not a child anymore." Jonas didn’t waver. There wasn’t much in him that Emily could still exploit anyway. She had already overstayed her welcome in his life, and for far too long, too.
"You’ve been in the entertainment business for so long now, do you expect me to believe you never learned or gained anything to protect yourself with? It is by far one of the most ruthless industries out there."
She recognized the cold resolve in his eyes, and it was at that time that she knew he would never fold. Emily racked her brains to find something to guilt him with, a chip, something from the past, anything.
"All right. All right, but what about this?" She pulled out a bracelet from under her pillow. It was a simple silver chain with a single bell as its charm.
She held it out to him with trembling hands, and her face was now streaked with unstoppable tears. A testament, perhaps, to her talents as an actress.
Jonas's eyes narrowed sharply. Unbidden, his mind traveled back to his childhood, and hazy bits of memory played across his vision.
He was taken back to the time when he sneaked out from the mansion. His grandfather was away that time, and nobody was keeping him under close supervision. He came upon a rather large pond, and decided he would fish in it, and bring his hunt back home as a trophy.
Clumsy boy that he was, he slipped and fell into the water. Although it wasn’t too deep, it was deep enough that a boy his size could drown in it.
He struggled in the water for what felt like hours, until Emily came walking by. She found a tree branch and threw it over him and she pulled the gasping boy back to land.
He had sworn to her then that he would protect her all her life, in honor of his gratitude. He gave her the bracelet as a token of that promise.
