“You must marry Lizzy. As soon as the City Hall reopens after the holidays, you and Lizzy are getting a marriage certificate.”
“I’m not getting a marriage certificate with her…”
John couldn’t stop the thought-if he married Elsa, there would be no way Lily would ever forgive him. Every part of him rejected the idea on instinct.
After a pause, he continued, “I’ve already given her a wedding ceremony before. She doesn’t have much time left, and I’ll stay with her until the end.
I’ll also compensate her financially. If she wants shares in Jones Corp, fine. But I won’t marry her.”
“John, what did you just say?”
Elsa’s eyes widened in disbelief and humiliation.
I was sure that John, being a man of responsibility, would never walk away after we slept together. He had to take responsibility.
But now, I was his woman, and he still refused to marry me?
What good was that empty wedding without a name or legal status?
What I wanted was to become Mrs Jones-to be his lawfully wedded wife, protected by the system.
“Elsa, I’m truly sorry for what happened last night.”
John looked at her bruised face, his heart weighed with guilt and shame-but deep down, resentment was rising.
She shouldn’t have come last night.
If she hadn’t shown up, none of this would’ve happened.
But she was the victim. I couldn’t bring myself to say something so heartless.
After a moment of silence, he added, “For the rest of your time, I’ll take good care of you.
But in this life, the only woman I’ll ever call my wife… is Lily.”
“John…”
Elsa’s lashes quiyered, and tears rolled silently down her face.
Simon, seeing her cry like that, felt his heart shatter. She meant everything to him. He stepped forward and slammed his fist into John’s face.
“You bastard! You hurt her, used her, and now you won’t take responsibility? What kind of man are you?
If you dare betray Lizzy for Lily, I swear I’ll make you pay!”
Of course, Simon had his own motives.
I knew Lily wanted nothing to do with him, and John had already started pulling back from setting them up.
But Lily had stolen my first kiss-and had seen my body.
She had to take responsibility.
And John is the biggest obstacle between me and Lily. I need John to marry Elsa and get out of the way.
John knew how unfair it looked. He’d hurt Elsa-physically, emotionally-and still refused to give her the one thing she asked for.
But the thought of losing Lily forever was even more unbearable.
His face darkened as he repeated, “I’ll compensate Lizzy however she wants. But I won’t marry her.”
“You have to marry her!”
Simon clenched his fists, rage pouring from him, and punched John again. “Lily was supposed to be my fianc?e. She belongs with me!”
John didn’t fight back at first. He knew he was in the wrong.
But the second he heard those words, something snapped.
So that’s what this was about.
He realized now-Simon didn’t care about right or wrong. He just wanted Lily.
You don’t cover your best friend’s woman.
Simon had crossed the line
John leapt from the bed and threw a punch straight into Simon’s face, fury erupting from every inch of him.
Lily is mine. You even think about touching her again, I’ll kill you!”
“Lizzy is yourst”
Simon punched back, even harder this time, refusing to back down. “Stay away from Lily! If you ever hurt Lizzy again, I’ll destroy you!”
“Keep dreaming!”
John’s voice was icy and filled with murder. “Lily is my girlfriend. Who the hell are you to tell me to stay away from her? You should be the one backing off!
Touch her again, Simon, and I swear-I will end you.”
“John, Simon, stop! Please!”
Elsa’s lips had turned pale. Her body trembled uncontrollably, hatred and despair crashing inside her. Everything was spiraling far from what I imagined.
I thought Simon would stand up for me, that he’d pressure John into doing the right thing. I thought John would be forced to say yes.
I thought Yvonne would run to Lily with her smug little remarks, making Lily give up on John for good.
But now… it was all unraveling.
Chapter-305 Staged Chaos
Lily couldn’t believe what she was seeing.
John and Simon are fighting… over Lily?
That bitch? Seriously?
As the punches between John and Simon got fiercer, Yvonne burst into tears from fright.
But she was too scared to get in between them-fists flying like that could hit anyone. So all she could do was cry out, “Elsa, what do we do? If this goes on, someone’s going to die!”
John, Simon…”
“You dare touch my girl, Simon? You’re out of your damn mind!”
“Your girl? Lily dumped you a long time ago! She despises you. She’s done with you! You’re the one clinging to my date, John. You should be the one rotting in hell!”
The two men were locked in a fight, completely ignoring Yvonne’s pleas.
So Elsa resorted to her usual trick-faking a collapse.
She quietly reached into the pocket of her clothes nearby, slipped a few blood capsules into her mouth, bit down, and choked out,”Stop fighting! I… My stomach hurts… Ugh…”..
She spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground, motionless.
“Elsa!”
“Lizzy!”
The sound of her hitting the floor finally snapped John and Simon out of their rage. They exchanged one last furious glare before rushing to her side.
Seeing blood all over her pale chin and the sheets wrapped around her, John didn’t dare waste a second. He grabbed her coat, wrapped her up tightly, and carried her out of the room in a hurry.
Elsa stayed limp in his arms, but her mind was crystal clear.
Even after I coughed up blood and passed out, he still wouldn’t agree to marry me.
Fine. Then I have no choice.
I have to get pregnant Fast.
Once he knows I’m carrying his child, no matter how much he still pines for Lily, he’ll have no choice but to take responsibility for me and the baby.
Tonight, I’ll find a reliable man to get me pregnant.
