    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Jocelyn whimpered, “I didn’t mean that. Ms. York, you misunderstood me…” While sobbing, she furtively threw me a challenging look.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">I looked at her expressionlessly. “So, you didn’t mean to conspire with Elijah to steal my money?”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">1 turned to Elijah and scoffed. “Elijah, you’re so disgusting that you made me throw up.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">I wanted to leave right away. However, he suddenly grabbed my hand.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Let go.” My voice was cold.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">But Elijah didn’t let go. He waspletely tense as he said, “Ari, nothing you heard was true. I didn’t want to steal your money.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">I sneered. “Alright then. Since you weren’t stealing from me, give me back the money with interest.” Elijah hesitated.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">As expected, he couldn’t bear to give up such arge amount of money.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">I gave him a mocking nce and shook off his hand.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Suddenly, Jocelyn screamed, “Elijah, she took everything!”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">As she spoke, she entered the closet to check.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">When she saw the empty jewelry safe, with all the watches and limited edition Hermes bags cleared out, she let out a pained shriek. “Elijah, she took everything valuable</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She ran over to me and red at therge bag in my hand. “Let me inspect it.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Iughed. “Ms. Cornell, do you have the right to inspect my stuff?”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Jocelyn visibly froze. Then, she threw all sense of pretense and pointed at my nose. “Ariana, Elijah bought you all those things. They’re not even yours.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">I lifted therge bag and tossed it to her. “Take it then. They’re junk that I’ve worn. If you like them, they’re</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">yours</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Jocelyn quickly opened the bag, but all she found was in clothes. She went mad and tossed them back</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">to me.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Not these. Where’s the jewelry? And those bags. You took them. Give them back!” She threatened, “Or else, I’ll call the cops.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">I simply stared at Elijah. “Mr. Linden, your lover wants to call the cops. What do you say?”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Elijah’s eyes gradually darkened. Without giving me an answer, he asked instead, “You’re leaving?”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">I was annoyed. “Not only am I leaving, but I also want a divorce.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Elijah suddenlyughed. Then, unexpectedly, he pushed Jocelyn out of the room and locked the door. Stunned, I watched him approach me.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">At that moment, an inexplicable sense of fear rose within my heart.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Elijah walked over and backed me into a corner so that was forced to face him.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">His handsome face looked erged and distorted</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">I was scared. After all, he was stronger than me.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">I started to regret telling Teri that I didn’t need help now.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Discreetly, I grabbed my phone to call the cops.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">However, Elijah threw my phone to the ground and broke it.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The screen shattered, and the light on the screen faded away.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">I yelled, “What are you doing?”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Elijah grabbed my arm. He was so close that his unbridled breath tickled my face.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">I held back my disgust. “Elijah, if you’re a man, let me go. You’re giving me a hard time. Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?”</font></font>


    But Elijah said nothing and simply stared at me. His voice was hoarse when he spoke, “Ariana, what do you want exactly? A divorce?”


    I did not answer.


    All of a sadden, he let go of me and took something from a slot in the closet.


    I froze.


    With malice in his eyes, he carried it over to me.


    “If you take one step outside, I’ll break this.”


    Jocelyn whimpered, “I didn’t mean that. Ms. York, you misunderstood me..” While sobbing, she furtively threw me a challenging look.


    I looked at her expressionlessly. “So, you didn’t mean to conspire with Elijah to steal my money?”
