"Honey, take a look. Aren't these exactly what you wanted?" he asked.
I opened the boxes, revealing the logo of a luxury jewelry brand inside.
Startled, I questioned him, "Where did you get the money to buy such expensive things?"
Jake gazed at me lovingly.
He said, "Sweetheart, you deserve this. You're the love of my life. How could I let you go without jewelry?
"Even though I had to take out a loan for them, I'll work hard to pay it back."
I glanced at the jewelry with disdain, tossing it back into the box before hurling the box onto his chest.
I spat, "Jake, you make me sick.
"Talking like that while using these things to humiliate me. Aren't you afraid of karma?"
The memory abruptly cut off.
In the courtroom, the audience gasped collectively.
"How ungrateful can she be? Jake went into debt to buy her those gifts, and she didn't even appreciate it?"
"She's such a bitch. If I had a husband like Jake, I'd count my blessings."
"Someone ought to slap some sense into her."
The audience cursed at me.
Jake grew more and more smug.
The judge, receiving the verdict, struck the gavel once more.
