Chapter 132
At 25, Elise loved Jonathan with everything she had.
From what I’d been told, I had a crush on Jonathan for ten years before we suddenly got married. No matter where he went, I followed. We were practically glued together.
I couldn’t stand having any other women around him, not even his female employees or any of the socialites in our circle. I saw them all as threats. We fought countless times, and I compromised over and over again, until I had no boundaries left, just desperately hoping he’d look at me.
His rejection made me feel insecure, and that only made me cling to him more.
Gabrielle said I even put a tracker on his car…
I seriously did that? The first time I heard it, I was stunned. But what I couldn’t wrap my head around was that I actually tried to kill myself over him.
Apparently, the wrist–slitting incident wasn’t even the first time. I’d pulled stunts like that before. Jumping off a building, jumping into a river, overdosing on sleeping pills… each time just an empty threat.
At first, he would try to calm me down, but after a while, he stopped responding.
That version of me was so pathetic, even I wouldn’t want anything to do with her.
I shut my eyes and took a deep breath. “Let’s not talk about the past anymore,” I said to Frederick.” Just consider that version of me gone.”
Frederick gave a cold snort, clearly not buying it. “You made quite the impression. It’s not something you can just erase with a few words.”
“So what would it take for you to believe me?”
He didn’t answer right away. After a long pause, he said quietly, “I just can’t believe… that someone who loved so deeply could forget it all so easily.”
I wasn’t sure if he was talking about me or someone else. I chose to believe it was about me. After
another stretch of silence, I told him, “Maybe it’s not that I forgot Jonathan… maybe I never loved
him in the first place.”
We had barely exchanged a few words before Alicia’s father suddenly stood up. “Thank you all! Thank you!” He looked like he’d had a bit to drink. His face was slightly flushed, and he raised his glass for a toast with the guests.
From the few things the emcee said, I got the impression that it was time for everyone to present their gifts to Alicia. I’d never been to one of these fancy parties before, so I wasn’t sure what was typical. But then I saw the emcee step up to the mic and start announcing the gifts people had brought her.
“The Fann family sent a Hamptons beachfront villa and a pair of diamond bracelets!”
I was stunned. What the hell?
They were just publicly announcing people’s gifts? Wasn’t that kind of rude?
I might not be some heiress, just a regular person, but even in a normal family, we’d know not to open gifts in front of everyone. That was just basic etiquette, right?
But they were doing it in front of a whole room of people now…
What if someone’s gift wasn’t that extravagant? Wouldn’t that be super embarrassing?
