Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband

Chapter 1583:

Corrie’s face flushed red. She clenched her teeth so hard they ached.noveldrama

“Elyse, you think Jayden is some perfect man? You’re just another fool. He doesn’t truly love anyone. You’re nothing but a plaything. Your life is a joke.”

Elyse met her glare with unwavering confidence. “The only joke here is you.” Her voice was steady, unshaken. “Jayden’s indifference toward you has nothing to do with me. He never cared about you. He never even saw you. But me? We love each other. He’s never treated me poorly. That must be hard for you to accept, isn’t it?”

Corrie stiffened. It hit her then—the truth in Elyse’s words.

Jayden had never loved her. Brook had never loved her. Not one man from the Owen family had ever looked at her the way she wanted.

The realization was like a slap to the face—far worse than Elyse’s.

She, accomplished and admired since young, was completely unwanted now.

Someone had to love her. Someone, somewhere.

But when she searched her mind, she found no one.

She stood frozen, not even noticing when Elyse walked away.

The corridor felt empty.

Suddenly, an eerie sense of fear settled in her chest.

Could it be? In her perfectly crafted life, was there truly no one who loved her?

No! That wasn’t possible. She still had her parents. They surely loved her.

But soon, she realized that this was only her assumption.

She believed her parents loved her because, in this world, all parents loved their children.

But it seemed that wasn’t the case for her.

Her parents only noticed her when she succeeded, when she proved useful.

They had always been this way, from childhood until now.

Even now, she clung desperately to the idea of marrying Brook—not out of love, but out of fear.

If she failed, her parents would be disappointed. And they might abandon her completely.

Her chest tightened. Her hands trembled.

She reached for the wall, steadying herself as she made her way back to her office, her mind spiraling.

“No! I absolutely cannot be jilted. I must marry Brook. Only then will my parents always love me!”

Her eyes darkened, filled with madness. If she couldn’t have what she wanted, then she would destroy everything in her way.

Elyse stormed into the lounge, her frustration evident in every movement.

Jayden noticed her distress immediately and gestured to the empty seat beside him. “What’s troubling you? Share it with me.”

Sinking into the sofa, Elyse answered bitterly, “What else could it possibly be? I encountered Corrie.”
