The Stolen Life- My Mother Gave My Fiancé to Her Favorite Student novel Chapter 7

At long last, the day to leave had arrived.

Early in the morning, there was a knock at the door.

I thought it was my father’s people, so I grabbed my packed suitcase and opened it.

It was Jax.

He was out of breath, clutching a big box in his arms.

“Elara, I found these in the trash pile last night. Why did you throw away all my gifts?”

“I tried to reach you yesterday, but you’d blocked me, and Lila wasn’t feeling well.”

I checked the time, my tone casual and cold.

“Trash belongs in the trash can. That’s why.”

“You have to be this way?”

Jax pulled out a thick stack of train tickets–proof of how far he’d traveled to see me.

“And these clay figurines. I made them with my own hands for you.”

His voice cracked, and his eyes were red with emotion.

So I wasn’t the only one who’d loved once.

I couldn’t resist twisting the knife.

“What else did you expect? You slept with Ms. Voss’s favorite student, and now I’m supposed to keep it a

secret so she doesn’t call me a homewrecker?”

“You can’t throw all of them away! They’re proof of our love!”

I stared at him without a trace of emotion.

“From the moment you chose Lila, those things lost all meaning.”

Jax opened his mouth to say more.

At that moment, a man in a sharp suit walked up outside the door.

Eason bowed to me politely.

“Miss Voss, Mr. Voss is tied up in an important meeting, but he’s arranged a private jet at the airport. Once

we reach Havenridge City, you can meet Dr. Harrison Smith immediately.”

I nodded once.

The moment Ms. Voss heard “Mr. Voss” and “Havenridge City,” she understood exactly what was going on.

She turned into a roaring lioness, screaming at me.

“Elara! What do you mean by Mr. Voss? Explain yourself!”

Her insults were venomous and cruel.

“You shallow, worthless thing! Are you just sucking up to your new dad because he’s rich?”

“They’re a wealthy, high–class family. They’ll never look at someone like you, from a poor, insignificant family!”

When I’d first decided to recognize my father…

I’d actually wondered if it would be a betrayal to her.

But now, I knew my own future mattered more than anything.

A look of weariness crossed my face as I spoke.

“Mom, didn’t you breathe a sigh of relief when the doctor said I had little chance of walking again?”
