The Rose He Showed Off Is Putting Down Roots in a Garden of Her Own novel Chapter 314

The alcohol made Jocelyn's head spin for a brief second as she frantically reached for the robe resting by the pool.

Suddenly, Julian lunged forward, grabbing her from behind and pinning her against the rough stone edge of the hot spring.

Jocelyn's eyes went wide with shock. She opened her mouth to scream, but Julian instantly clamped a hand over her lips, yanking her leg up as he tried to force himself onto her.

But in his frantic state, he couldn't even perform.

Jocelyn was utterly paralyzed by disbelief. In her mind, Julian Sterling had always been a polished, refined gentleman.

Sure, he could be ruthless in business and a bit emotionally detached, but she had never considered him a monster capable of this.

As for his mistress, wealthy men keeping a side-piece wasn't exactly groundbreaking news in their elite circles.

It might have been horrifying for regular people, but in a world fueled by massive wealth and power, it was an open secret.

A loyal, monogamous marriage was the dream, but you had to accept that some people played by different rules.

Because of that, she had never truly despised Julian for his infidelity or thought of him as entirely morally bankrupt.

But Julian was physically failing.

Even with the intoxicating, breathy moans echoing from the other side of the wall—sounds sweet enough to drive any man insane—that was his wife making them. The sheer, suffocating wave of despair and rage paralyzed his body completely.

Meanwhile, just on the other side of the decorative stonework, Zane's voice was low and tender.

He was seductively asking Elara over and over if it felt good.

Did she want it harder?

Did she want it gentler?

He was teasing her with total, uninhibited devotion.

Jocelyn couldn't fathom that her fiercely proud ex-husband was now willingly bowing down, entirely submitting to pleasure another woman like that.

The realization ignited an inferno in Jocelyn's chest.

She was somehow even more enraged by that than by Julian's pathetic attempted assault.

With a violent shove, Jocelyn spun around and threw Julian off of her.

This was Jocelyn Yale.

She never backed down from a fight.
