The Ex and Her Riches

When Treyton noticed that Elisha was constantly stealing glances at the rearview mirror, he cut a sharp gaze over.

Immediately intimidated, Elisha lowered the partition between the front and back seats.

Whoa! I didn’t see anything, nothing at all!

As soon as the partition was fully lowered, Treyton swung his hand and struck Jennifer twice more with the same force.

Ouch, it hurts so badly!

Tears welled in Jennifer’s eyes. Her upper body was pinned against his lap with his hand restraining her waist, locking her in place.

She was stumped for two seconds before she belatedly snapped back to her senses. Instantly, the tears in her eyes threatened to overflow, and devastation slammed into her.

“How could you hit me, Treyton?”

Sighing, Treyton explained solemnly, “I was merely disciplining my disobedient girlfriend. It was grounded on the basis of my love for you. Since you were being unreasonable, I could only punish you in such a manner to wake you up.”

“But what right do you have to punish me?” Jennifer bit her lower lip hard, her eyes stinging hotly.

Catching the hint of tears in her voice, Treyton placed his palm on her butt and gently massaged it.

“I’ve got the right to do so because you wanted to break up with me. But I haven’t agreed to it, and you’re still staying at my place now, not to mention we’re still a couple.”

Jennifer promptly wilted. She was both mortified and irked that he was touching her in such a manner, but he had a tight grip on her waist, and she could not move an inch.

At her silence, Treyton asked softly while massaging her butt, “What exactly is wrong with you, Jennifer? What have I done wrong recently that you want to break up with me?”

Jennifer’s eyes turned increasingly redder, an aggrieved look gradually filling them.

“Several times, you urged me to return to the Newton residence because only then can you marry me without being mocked and ridiculed by anyone as I’ll have a matching family background. Treyton, do you love me or my identity as the daughter of the Newton family?”
