Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

You'd Better Marry Jayden For Me

Upon hearing Jayden's words, Elyse pondered what she might desire from him in the future, only to find herself at a loss. In reality, she was wholly satisfied with her present life and aimed to preserve it for < as long as she could.

"Stop grinning. Come with me to the study. I need to discuss something with you," Jayden said, playfully flicking her head as he led her into the study.

In the storage room, Brook followed Driscoll and encountered Joanna.

Joanna was bound with ropes, looking disheveled and unkempt after days of confinement, though she hadn't been deprived of food or drink. As she heard them approaching, she opened her eyes and caught Brook's gaze examining her.

"Do you want me to untie her, Mr. Owen?" Driscoll asked respectfully.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

"There's no need. Just take her as she is," Brook replied with a smile. "If she had behaved, she

wouldn't be in this situation. I have full trust in Jayden's judgment."

Driscoll simply nodded and refrained from further comment.

Joanna, unclear about what was happening, was escorted out of the storage room and into a

stretched Lincoln limousine.

Inside the limo, she found herself kneeling at Brook's feet.

She shuddered with fear. Noticing her fright, Brook poured himself a glass of wine and asked in a low voice, "Are you afraid of me?"

She trembled, pleading, "Are you taking me to my family? I didn't dare run away from the wedding. I'm willing to marry Jayden and be his wife. Please let me go!"

She was genuinely terrified. While she had been restrained in Jayden's storage room, her basic needs had been met, and she hadn't felt her life was in danger. But in the presence of this man, a dreadful aura enveloped her.

Her family had bartered her for resources from the Owen family. Even if she had escaped, she would remain a valueless outcast to her family.

"Why would you think that? We Owens are no dangerous monsters," Brook responded, but then, seeing her frightened expression, he kicked her sharply. "You're truly worthless. You couldn't even handle the simple task I gave you!"

Joanna clutched her aching belly, looking miserable yet realizing that it was Brook who had helped her escape from her wedding. Desperate, she crawled toward him like a dog. "Master, you've come to pick me up."

"Useless thing," he muttered disdainfully, watching her crawl. He crossed his legs, positioning one leg prominently in front of her as a clear command. Understanding his intention, Joanna debased herself further by licking his shoe.

"Why had Jayden's men capture you?" he asked.

"I don't know. I hid as you instructed, yet Jayden's men still found me." Joanna was distressed, unable to comprehend where she had gone wrong.

Brook crossed his hands, pondering for a moment before speaking ambiguously. "Does Jayden

still possess some hidden strengths?" He then turned to Joanna, a slight smile on his face, and

asked, "What do you think of Jayden?"

e's just so-so, not as impressive as you," she replied.

Pleased with her response, Brook nudged her chin upward with his foot and remarked, "Well done. A dog is indeed the most loyal companion a human can have."

Joanna forced a flattering smile. She understood that she was now tied to him, effectively his property.

Brook's interest in further conversation with Joanna waned. He suspected that Jayden was not as benign as he appeared and realized he needed to find a way to keep a closer watch on him. His thoughts were interrupted as he glanced at Joanna once more.

His intense stare made her skin crawl. She managed a nervous smile and asked, "Master, what's wrong?"

"You'd better marry Jayden for me," Brook stated as he casually stroked Joanna, who was visibly uneasy. His smile twisted strangely as he contemplated his next moves.
