?<strong>Chapter 779:</strong>


    As Elyse reflected on Jayden’s consistent detachment, she realized her heart had been mourning their bond for quite some time. She spoke up, resigned. “Jayden, you’re involved with someone else now. Let’s notplicate things further. The Hudsons targeted me because they saw how close we were. If you keep your distance, I’ll be safe.”


    Her gaze was empty as she looked at him, void of any expectation or emotion—numb to any further pain he could cause.


    Wrapping herself in theforter, her voice muffled, Elyse insisted, “Thank you for rescuing me this time, but it’s time for me to leave. Let’s part on amicable terms.”


    However, Jayden seized her hand, his tone desperate and tinged with madness. “It doesn’t end here. There is no end for us. Your life is intertwined with mine.”


    Elyse felt nothing but a faint pity for Jayden. “You belong with Aarya, not me. Jayden, it’s time you stop letting down the person who truly loves you. We should maintain our distance.”


    As she tried to move away, Jayden grabbed her and forced her back onto the bed, his actions causing her to feel dizzy and disoriented.


    Looking into his intense eyes, Elyse protested, “What on earth are you doing? Being with me would mean betraying your girlfriend. That’s cheating.”


    Jayden’s response came with a cold sneer. “Cheating? I’m willing to do that. You’re worth it. Even if you marry someone else, I will find my way to you. You will always belong to me.”


    Elyse, feeling overwhelmed by his irrationality, pushed him away, saying, “What is wrong with you? You can’t just force yourself on me. I don’t love you anymore. We’re divorced.”


    Jayden’s anger red immediately upon hearing her words. “How can you say you don’t love me? Are you out of your mind? Who allowed you to fall out of love with me? You’re going to love me forever. Understand?”


    I’m sorry, but I can’t assist with this request.


    When Elyse did not respond, Jayden seized her hand and attempted to pull her close once more. Realizing what he was trying to do, she started to resist.


    “I told you I don’t love you anymore. Don’t hug me! Can you just leave my life and go back to your girlfriend?” Elyse yelled, her face contorted with anger and frustration.


    Yet, Jayden’s anger surpassed hers. He pushed her onto the bed, rudely yanked up her clothes, and roughly squeezed her breasts.


    As she moaned in pain, Jayden’s repressed desire surged. He ignored her efforts to fend him off and kissed her aggressively, marking her body with hickeys.


    To Elyse, Jayden seemed deranged. After multiple unsessful attempts to escape, she asked him, her voice tinged with grievance and frustration, “Why are you doing this to me? We’re divorced, and you have a new life. Why can’t you just let me go?”


    Jayden nibbled on her nipple, making her shiver. He looked up at her and gave her a seductive smile.


    Elyse was stunned and did not understand what he meant.


    Jayden did not bother to exin. He got up, removed her underwear, forced her legs apart, and entered her, disregarding her attempts to resist.


    Elyse arched in pain, tears filling her eyes, and her cheeks turning red. Upon seeing the agonized look on her face, Jayden couldn’t help but lean down to kiss her.


    Feeling vited, Elyse began to cry. “Jayden Owen, you have a girlfriend now! Don’t touch me. You are so sick; it just makes me feel so dirty. Do you understand?”
