His Destructive, Toxic Love

Casper chuckled derisively, easily shrugging her off. "Do you think it became yours just because you wear it? The Welton family owns it, and at best, you only have the right to use them... that's all." The right to use?-

They were married for two years, but she never touched or used anything from the Welton family.

The only one with the right to use anything was Casper.

"Are you talking about yourself, Mr. Casper?"

Casper's eyes turned cold, suppressing his anger. "Then I'd like to hear, what did you sell that bracelet for? What did you need the money for?"

Eliza felt that, at this moment, Casper was playing dumb with her. Clearly, he had ordered the hospital to demand she pay the money.

"To pay back the hospital bills."

"And the rest?" Casper asked.

"The rest is a little over ten thousand dollars. If you want it, I can transfer it to you."

"Transfer it." He opened his payment app, tossing his phone onto the table in front of her.

Eliza transferred the remaining money, not a cent less, into his wallet.

Then, she took out a divorce agreement, handing it over to him. "Casper, let's get a divorce."

Casper was visibly taken aback. Eliza had always been submissive in his eyes, and was unlikely to bring this up on her own.

Was it because he had the hospital collect her mother's hospitalization fees?

Or because he had forced her to consume a half bottle of birth control pills?

His gaze towards her was scrutinizing, mixed with mockery. "What, tired of being a parasite in high society and ready to become a corporate slave?" "You think I've stolen this life anyway, isn't it?" she said, her voice filled with resentment.

"You do like stealing other people's lives, don't you?"

Eliza scoffed. Yeah, in Casper's eyes, she was nothing but a thief, and what she stole happened to be Nova's life. He hated Eliza, always did. She was now returning the 'stolen' life to him.

"Me getting swapped at birth was the hospital's mistake. How could I, a baby in swaddling clothes, have decided for myself? Casper, I know you care for Nova. I'm stepping aside for her now so you two may have years of happiness together."

She wanted nothing more.

If she had a choice, she might not have chosen to grow up in the Henderson family. Twenty years in the Henderson family weren't as blissful as the two years spent in the Pinotti family.

Eliza didn't know which remark angered Casper. He grabbed her wrist, dragged her upstairs, and threw her onto the large bed with force.

Eliza got up from the bed, angrily taking off the wedding ring on her ring finger.

"Don't you dare throw it away," his voice was ice-cold.

Eliza paused for a moment, then forcefully threw the ring onto the ground. "Here's your ring back and your marriage too, Casper. I don't want you anymore. I want a divorce." She was so definitive.

Casper was furious. The next second, he pushed her down and pinned her beneath him.

"Back then, you insisted on marrying me. This Mrs. Welton title isn't something you can just not want."

"What? What kind of Mrs. Welton am I?" She glared at Casper full of hate, scoffing derisively, "A Mrs. Welton who doesn't even have the right to sell a bracelet I've worn for two years? I don't care for such a title."

"So defiant." His eyes blazed, wanting to devour her. "Do you think you have a say?"

"Am I not allowed to have regrets?"Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Tears welled up in Eliza's eyes. If she had known her stubbornness at the time would bring disaster to her and her family...She wouldn't have sought her own demise.

Not even for love.

The word 'regret' once again provoked Casper. He bit down on Eliza's smooth neck.
