Elsa knew she couldn’t afford to provoke him now. If she pushed him too far, he would really force her to repay everything.

But her bitterness and hatred burned too deep. She couldn’t control herself, and through clenched teeth she said, “When I came back, was it me who forced you to care for me, to marry me?”

“You knew Lily loved you, that she stayed by your side through the hardest years, yet you still chose to be with me.”

“Lily broke up with you not because of my schemes, but because you couldn’t give her enough security. You were the one who was fickle, the one with a divided heart!”

“Why should I bear all the blame for your mistakes?”

Her words stabbed John straight through the chest. His tall, straight figure seemed to buckle under the weight of the pain.

How could he not see it? Elsa deserved damnation, yes–but so did he.

Step by step, he had driven away the woman he loved most.

And it was that truth, that self–inflicted wound, that filled him with an even deeper, unforgiving regret.

“Elsa, three days. Pay me back–or face the consequences.”

He didn’t waste another breath on her. Leaving the words like shards of ice, he clutched his chest and walked away without once looking back.

He still demanded repayment.

How cruel he was to her–utterly merciless.
