A Love Forgotten Novel by Webfic

Chapter 40



At that moment, a thunderclap jolted my mind, and my vertigo returned.

I felt my body shaking, and my heart inexplicably started to throb in pain.

It hurt so much.

This was different from the dull pain in the past. Now, my heart felt like it was splitting apart from this excruciating pain.

So, a painless amnesia was truly impossible. This body remembered everything.

All of this was a sham. It was all a ruse set up by Elijah and Jocelyn!

During our five years of marriage, Elijah had kept in touch with Jocelyn. They’d even believed that I deserved to be used and sacrificed by them.

For I was dumb, so dumb that everyone knew.

My limbs turned cold.

I had assumed that before losing my memory, everyone had hated me because I looked for trouble in seeking out unreciprocated love.

Now, I realized it was all a scheme–a nasty plot.

By Elijah and Jocelyn’s designs, Elijah had accepted my pursuit and agreed to our marriage.

It was a deliberate ruse. People called this a “romance scam“, and I was the pathetic victim.

I wanted to laugh, but I couldn’t. The pain in my heart was real.

I clutched my chest, and my tears flowed uncontrollably.

Meanwhile, outside the closet, the two of them were still arguing.

But I didn’t want to listen anymore.

Disgusting.

Elijah was disgusting, as was Jocelyn.

This place was even more disgusting.

I wanted to scream and go on a rampage, but I did nothing. I could only crouch in the closet as the voices outside slipped into my ears.

Elijah began, “That’s enough! Jo, do you have to dredge up the past now? Have I ever mistreated you?

“For you, I’ve put up with that madwoman, Ariana, for five years. Have I not done enough? I’m tired too. Can you try to understand me?”

Jocelyn’s sobbing stopped. Then, she said, “Then swear that you love me, Elijah.”

There was annoyance in Elijah’s voice as he said perfunctorily, ‘Yes, I love you.”

Jocelyn seerned to have moved closer to him. She sounded bashful as he continued, “Elijah, I love you

so much. If Ariana wants a divorce, let her go. We’ll think of a way to keep the money…”

Elijah was silent for a while. “We can’t get a divorce yet

Jocelyn raised her voice. “Why?”

“Because it’s a bother to get a divorce… Some stocks would be affected… You wouldn’t understand,” Elijah replied.

Now, I felt like throwing up.

And so, I did.

I flung open the closet door and vomited on the floor.

After wiping my mouth, I looked up at the two.

I laughed so hard that my eyes watered. “Well done! You’re impressive, Elijah. You lied to me about everything. You tricked me into marrying you. You swindled the York family’s money. You played with my feelings…”

Elijah’s face was pale. “No, I didn’t…” After realizing what he had said, he shut his mouth.

Meanwhile, Jocelyn clung to Elijah as if she were startled. She whined, “Elijah, why is she here? I’m scared …..Get rid of her, quickly.”This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

I stood up, swaying. As I stared at Jocelyn, I saw a flash of glee in her eyes.

I asked, enunciating each word, “Jocelyn, do your parents know how disgusting you are?”
