Chapter 14 Nelson slapped Lila hard across the face . " You say you love me , so I'm supposed to love you back ? You destroyed everything between me and Jessie . Tell me , how do you think I should pay you back for that ? " His voice was cold and merciless . " The divorce proceedings are underway . My lawyer's on it . " Lila froze in shock , then lunged toward him in a panic . But Nelson flung her away violently . She scrambled to her knees , crying as she spoke . " Nelson , I know you still love Jessie . I won't fight with her . If you insist on giving her the title of Mrs. Voss , I'll stay quiet . I'll be the woman behind you . Isn't that enough ? " Nelson stared at her tear - streaked face : But in his mind , all he could see was Jessie crying . That girl had a temper . She was spoiled , too . Whenever she cried , she liked to bury herself in his arms and bite him over and over . Said if she had to suffer , then so did he . When had he started seeing Lila differently ? It was when his grandfather told him Lila was the one who had saved his life . A lie . One he could've exposed with a single investigation . But he had believed it . Nelson threw a stack of photos at Lila's face . " You started seducing my grandfather ten years ago . You had him stop me from being with Jessie . It was your idea to force him into making me marry you . Your idea to make me drug Jessie so she couldn't have kids . And only then would he allow me to be with her . " Lila's face turned ghostly white . He had uncovered things from that far back . Chapter 14 12.28 % WebNovel 4.3 FREE Enter a world of power and adventure !

I tried to stop him , but he wanted Jessie to suffer . " Nelson's eyes were ice . He picked up her phone and ran a recovery program . Everything she had deleted - messages , notes , all of it - came back . Right in front of him . She had been using two accounts , sending Jessie message after message . He read through the messages - every one of them was Lila provoking Jessie . Her plans were all there too . Detailed . Ruthless . Even her personal notes were saved on the phone . She had calculated everything , step by step . Manipulating Jessie and him . Even the sterilization drug Jessie had unknowingly taken years ago ... that was Lila who had found it . And she had made sure it was strong . The pain in Nelson's eyes deepened . " Lila , for over ten years , you've been scheming against me and Jessie . Even the car accident outside the bridal shop . " He paused , jaw clenched . " No. That crash was meant for Jessie . But the driver hit the wrong person . And you didn't miss a beat . You twisted the entire thing , threw yourself into it , used your own body as a shield , just to trap me . " He spoke with a chilling calmness , every word sharp and clear .

That last time you took me to the public hospital for a checkup ... Jessie was there too . She went into the operating room for an abortion . " Nelson froze . His entire body stiffened in shock .

And Eliot - the senior from med school - he knows . Ask him if you don't believe me . I love you , Nelson . But you've only ever loved Jessie since we were kids . " " I'm just the maid's daughter . If I hadn't fought dirty , you would've never even looked at me . " Nelson's hand closed around Lila's throat . His eyes were filled with hate . " That's not an excuse to hurt Jessie .
