Ex-wife, Please Come Back

"You know that you will piss me off, don't you?" Jonathan hissed. His grip on her chin tightened, making her involuntarily wince in pain.

Still, she had chosen to remain silent. No one could threaten or seduce her. Being caught in the current predicament she was in now was only because of her own choice.

She made a wrong step, so now she had to bear the consequences on her own. Struggling under his hold, she managed to force out a smile.

Jonathan only saw red at the thought of her mocking him. He had not expected this reaction out of her.

He didn't want to admit that he had lost but her arrogance had preceded her. Even though the pressure of his grip on her chin tightened even more, he was nowhere near successful in stepping on her pride.

People like her had nerves of steel no matter how much struggle they were in.

There was a sudden inexplicable pain in his chest which caused him to narrow his eyes at her. Now, he didn't have to wonder anymore on why she was Jacob's first love. It was because she possessed the qualities worthy of standing by his side. Unfortunately, she didn't cherish that opportunity.

"I was so stupid to listen to Thompson's advice and marry you. Why should I use his ex-girlfriend to provoke him? You are now his ex, which simply means that he doesn't love you anymore," he said mockingly.

He was so angry that his finger shook in rage as he pointed it directly to Alice's face. What pissed him off even more was that she only stood there without any reaction.

For her, his anger was nothing. She had a lot of experiences that were far more terrible than that.

She didn't even flinch at his advances. Instead she just muttered back in a low voice, "Do you honestly think that you're better than me? We're just the same."

His jaws clenched and his eyes narrowed into slits at her statement.

Comparing him to herself was unacceptable. They were totally different from each other.

"The same? Alice, I think you're thinking too highly of yourself. How are we the same? Am I an abandoned woman?" he scoffed.

At that moment, all he wanted to do was to be able to say the right words that would crush her spirit. He wanted to tear off her proud face and break that arrogant expression which seemed to enjoy mocking him.

However, she didn't back down this time. She could accept being humiliated by him, but she would definitely not allow him to insult her dignity.
