All Chapters of Leaving the Heiress My Superpower Chose: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

For the first time in his life, Caleb fell in love.But he didn't dare trust it. He deliberately splashed coffee in her face and mocked her, saying she was no different from all the other women. He humiliated her without mercy.Yet instead of getting angry, Elena simply handed him another cup of coffee.She waited until he had calmed down before she spoke in a clear, gentle voice. "I won't fall for anyone else. After we're married, if you don't want me, I won't force you. All you have to do is stay by my side and be my husband. I'll protect you for the rest of your life."Her almond-shaped eyes were bright and earnest.There were no sweet nothings, no grand gestures, and no extravagant promises. Yet somehow, her words pulled him into a whirlpool.He thought that maybe he could give it a try.Three years into their marriage, Elena had kept every promise she'd made. She was the very model of a perfect wife.Caleb had always lacked a sense of security, so Elena adjusted her work s

Elena's usually calm eyes widened in shock. "What the hell are you talking about?!"A flicker of guilt crossed her face, then gave way to unmistakable anger.She stepped forward and instinctively shielded Jake behind her. "Jake was only joking upstairs. Why have you suddenly become so petty? Just to get back at him, you actually said something that disgusting!"This was the first time Caleb had ever seen her so angry. Her reaction startled him, but the disappointment in his heart only grew heavier.One accusation was all it took to make her this furious. The mutual respect they'd always shared was gone, along with the protection she'd once promised him.Who would believe there was nothing going on between them?"Uncle Caleb, don't get the wrong idea." Jake stepped forward to explain, but his smug smile didn't fade in the slightest. "I've been overseas for too long, so I'm pretty blunt. You'll have to forgive me."Caleb ignored him and looked at Elena instead. "I was joking too.

A muffled thunderclap rang out, as though it had struck Caleb's heart directly. The pain was so intense that he could barely breathe.His eyes burned red with rage. "I'll fucking kill you!"He lunged forward and sank his teeth into Jake's shoulder, biting down with enough force to tear off a chunk of flesh.Everyone around them stared in shock at his sheer madness."Aunt Elena, help me!" Jake cried out in terror.Elena finally snapped back to reality and ordered the others to pull Caleb away. When she saw the blood covering Jake's shoulder, concern flooded her eyes."You're fucking insane!" she shouted at Caleb, then helped Jake out of the cemetery.Caleb stumbled backward and collapsed. His forehead struck a stone pillar, and blood trickled down his face to mingle with the ashes scattered across the ground.Insane? It had been a long time since anyone had called him that.Back then, he'd spoken his mind and exposed countless ugly truths, only to be branded a lunatic.Only El

Caleb's legs gave out beneath him.Just as he was about to collapse, someone caught him from behind, and a cold voice sounded beside his ear. "Do you really want to keep fighting?"Elena's voice was calm. The clean, floral-fruity scent that always lingered around her hadn't changed, yet it was no longer a scent Caleb longed for."Without your lawyer, how exactly do you plan to fight me? Besides, can you really bear to put your only friend in danger?"Caleb felt as though an invisible hand had closed around his throat.Countless grievances were bottled up inside him, but he had no way to voice them. And the very hands now choking the life out of him belonged to the person he'd once foolishly believed was his salvation.'How ridiculous. How absurd!' At the thought of Alex's condition, Caleb's fingers began to tremble uncontrollably.Elena was right. Caleb had never had much family in his life. Wherever he went, people treated him like a freak. Apart from his father, Alex was the o

Elena's words struck Jake like a sledgehammer, shattering his fantasies and dragging him back to reality.Jake staggered back a step. "You're talking nonsense! I'm not sick!"The hurt in his eyes twisted into something almost vicious.Veins bulged in his neck as he made one last desperate attempt to fight back. "You said it yourself! Elena, you love me! Ever since I was little, you've given me everything I asked for. If anyone ever dared upset me, you'd make sure they wished they were dead."No matter when or where, all I had to do was say, 'I miss you,' and you'd rush back to be with me. You never missed a single holiday either."After Mom and Dad died, you were the one who stayed by my side and spoiled me. If that's not love, then what is?!"If you don't love me, why have you always treated me so well? You married that useless Caleb just to take control of the family, didn't you? Otherwise, why would you defend me every time we had a disagreement? So why won't you divorce him n
