บททั้งหมดของ I Choose to Love Me: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 7

Morgan claimed seeing me hurt made him sad, but the needle marks on my arm were his fault. He had to stop lying.Anger and humiliation piled up until I was ready to blurt out everything.Just then, his bodyguard pushed the door open, looking anxious as he hurried over to whisper in his ear. I'd always had sharp hearing, so I clearly heard the bodyguard say Evelyn refused to eat and would only do so if Morgan coaxed her.When I saw the flicker of panic in Morgan's eyes, my heart sank again."Jazz, I've got some work to attend to. I need to go, so take care of yourself," he said.I didn't answer. Instead, I turned my head and let the tears fall. I wondered if he would feel regret when he realized one day that he'd loved the wrong person.I decided not to tell him the truth now. If I did, he would never let me leave. I would only tell him that I'd saved him all those years ago after I left. I wanted him to drown in regret. By then, he would've lost me forever.An hour later, my pho

Morgan frowned at the look on my face. With a cold edge, he ordered his subordinate, "Evan, lock Jasmine in the basement to reflect. She's only to be let out tomorrow!"As Evan Watson and the other men dragged me away, I saw Morgan press a kiss to Evelyn's forehead. The sight shattered my heart. In that moment, I lost all faith in him.Down in the basement, I couldn't stop thinking about the abuse from my parents when I was little.

Morgan took my hand, full of remorse as he explained his reasons for yesterday's punishment.I instinctively pulled away, but he didn't get angry. He just assumed I was still upset. He bought m

Evelyn froze at Mom and Dad's words and stared at them, baffled. "Uncle Stan, Aunt Monica, what are you talking about? How could I possibly be a murderer?"Seeing that she wasn't admitting the truth, Dad hurled his phone at her face. The second she saw the video playing on the screen, her expression changed.However, Evelyn collected herself. She clenched her fists and wept, crying, "This can't be! This video is fake—it's edited! Jasmine is framing me!"Her flimsy excuse sent Mom over the edge. Mom slapped her hard and broke down, shouting, "The truth is right before us, yet you're still lying! Haven't we treated you well enough? Why would you hurt my son and daughter like this?"Mom's roar made Evelyn flinch. She didn't dare argue. She was already working out how to run.Then, as if something clicked, Mom pounded her chest and cried, "So Jasmine was telling the truth before. How much grief has she swallowed all this time?"Dad was also hurting when he saw her in so much pain. He
