Chapter 24 Eric Has Lost it

Eric admitted it. Admitted that he was aware of everything.

"So you had Regina sell the heritage house below market value?" Kelly was shaking all over. "Eric, I'm giving you one last chance. Buy it back for me-

I don't care how. Don't push me too far. I don't want to see us end up in court"

Her fingers flew over the keyboard. Every word she typed felt like a stab to her heart.

Eric's fists clenched tight as he stared at her, stunned. "Kelly, what... what happened to you? Am I worth less to you than that house? Do you value money more than me?"

As Kelly looked at the stranger he had become,

a bitter, helpless smile tugged at her lips.

"I want the house," she typed it out again, her resolve cold and sharp.

"Fine!" Eric's voice snapped with anger. "Give me some time. I'll handle it."

He opened the car door for her.

But Kelly turned her back. She didn't want his ride.

Eric caught her wrist, his grip firm. "Kelly! Just listen to me, okay?"

Her chest heaved as she sucked in a sharp breath. She then got into the back seat, not the passenger seat

Because on the passenger seat was a sticker that read. "This seat is reserved for Eric's wife, Regina.

That must be Regina's petty little taunt

Eric froze, his entire body stiffening. His gaze fell on the sticker, though he had no idea when or how it had quickly reached out and tore it off, but a sticky residue from the double-

sided tape remained on the panel board

It was like their love-stained and shattered beyond repair.

After a sile

silent ride, Eric soon pulled up outside her apartment building.

"Kelly. Can we... ever go back to how we were?"

Kelly almost laughed at his words.

Go backtowhatwe were? You'reremarried, andyouevenhave a childwith Regina. Backtowhat, exactly?

She stepped out of car and headed for the stairs.

Eric trailed closely behind Kelly.noveldrama

"Ms. Yeager?" a delivery man greeted her. "This is from Mr. Lockhart. He ordered fruit, meals... he's worried you aren't eating

well."

She froze at his words.

Behind him stood three more delivery men-

one with fresh linens, another with groceries, and a third from a high-

end boutique carrying luxury clothing

Kelly's mind spun.

Whatthehell. Is Zevoutof his mind? Or juststupid?

Kelly asked nervously. "Can I return these?"

Chapter 24 Eric Has Lost it

Eric's face darkened, and he demanded coldly, "Who sent you all this?"

Kelly didn't reply.

"Kelly!" his voice cracked with anger as he fixed his gaze on her. I'm asking you-

who sent you all this stuff?"

She typed. A friend."

Finished

"A friend? Don't tell me it's that guy! Eric gripped Kelly's wrist tightly, completely unaware of how much he was hurting her.

"Kelly, do you realize how pricey this brand is? Home delivery is an exclusive service for their VIP clients. So, may ask which 'friend' is going out of their way to send this to you? Funny-

I never knew you had such wealthy connections in Seaville, Eric demanded, his voice cold with suspicion.

He made her sound like a sugar baby selling herself.

Kelly yanked her wrist from Eric's grasp, her breath catching as she eyed him warily.

Eric rubbed his forehead, aware that he had been losing control around Kelly lately, but he convinced himself that it was just a sign of how much he cared for her. "Kelly... I'm sorry," he began apologizing once more.

To Kelly, Eric now felt like a stranger-one who was downright terrifying.

"Kelly, return these clothes. Let me take you shopping instead, okay? Whatever you want, I'll buy it for you. Don't accept gifts from others-

people who get close to

you always have an agenda. Only I truly love you. I cherish you so much, I can't even bring myself to touch you..."

Eric's voice trembled, raw with emotion.

He had once valued Kelly deeply, thinking that only through marriage would he truly take responsibility for her.

But right after they registered their marriage, Kelly had left to join the peacekeeping medical tearn

Kelly resisted Eric fiercely, pushing him away with all her might

Eric thought Kelly was trying to escape him, wanting to distance herself. In that moment, he lost control. He grabbed her head and kissed her forcefully. "Kelly, you're mine... you're my wife. How can you...

Kelly shoved Eric away, slapping him hard across the face as her breath became shallow and rapid.

Eric's eyes reddened with frustration as he seized Kelly, pinning her to the couch.

"Kelly, you're my wife. Why is it okay for them to touch you, but you resist me like this?"

He ripped her clothes as though venting his own pent-up emotions.

Kelly trembled, struggling desperately as tears spilled down her face.

Eric How had he turned into the person standing before her?

It was terrifying...

Truly horrifying

"Don't touch me!" Kelly cried, signing with trembling hands.

But Eric seemed to have lost his mind.

"Kelly, I don't believe what they said. You've never let anyone else touch you. You're still my Kelly, right? Please give yourself

To me okay?"
