NovelEnglishChapter 725: "Elissa! How could you?" he roared, his voice cutting through the heavy silence like a blade.
The words struck Elissa harder than any physical blow.
Then, the horrifying realization set in. On her wedding night, in what should have been the most sacred moment of her life-she had been with a stranger. Not Robin. A stranger.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWho was he? She didn't even know his name. Before she had woken, he had already vanished.
And from that moment on, Elissa's life unraveled. The whispers spread like wildfire. The accusations cswiftly and mercilessly-from her family, from Robin's, from everyone who had once looked at her with admiration.
Shameless. Disgraceful. She had been branded with those words.
Elissa had no defense. No explanation that could change what had already been decided.
She had walked into the wrong bridal chamber. Slept with the wrong man. Lost everything—her innocence, her dignity, the happiness that had once felt so close. Her world had shattered beyond repair.
Hadley listened, her heart aching with every word. She had always seen Elissa as strong, independent, someone who carried herself with quiet resilience. But now, faced with the weight of her suffering, Hadley found herself at a loss. There were countless kinds of pain in this world, and even someone as seemingly unbreakable as Elissa had been crushed beneath its weight.
"Elissa..." Hadley's voice wavered, her throat tightening with emotion. Her eyes burned with unshed tears. "How... how did you two stay together after that?" It was one thing for Robin to be angry-after all, who wouldn't feel betrayed after such a wedding night? But if he had truly been unable to forgive, shouldn't he have divorced her? Elissa swallowed hard, struggling to find her voice. "Because... At first, Robin said he didn't care. He told me... he toldthat losingwould hurt more than anything else." Her voice cracked, and she stopped, unable to go on.
But Hadley didn't need her to finish. She understood.

He couldn't overcthe barrier in his mind, the invisible stain he believed she carried. And instead of walking away, he had turned his pain into cruelty, lashing out in the nof vengeance.
Elissa covered her face with trembling hands, her sobs quiet but raw. "Hadley... I hate it. I hate it so much." Hated what? She didn't say.
But Hadley had a feeling she knew the answer. The man who had taken everything from her. The man who had destroyed her life before it even began.
Without a word, Hadley reached for a tissue and gently wiped Elissa's m tear streaked face. "Elissa, have you ever thought about getting a divorce?"
"Divorce?" Elissa's red-rimmed eyes snapped up, her expression anel of pure bewilderment, as if the thought had never once crossed her mind.
Hadley nodded, her tone firm but kind. "Yes. You're just hurting each other by staying in this marriage. If you're not happy, why keep living like this?"
