Chapter 6 Let Bygones Be Bygones (2/2)

When Jasper and Yolanda heard this, their faces darkened. Yolanda was visibly furious, but she managed to keep her temper.

The money was given to Vernon and he had the right to decide what to do with it. Yolanda was already looking forward to the grand wedding she was going to have with that money and now it was all ruined. She couldn't let out all her anger, so she turned around and started hitting Jasper on the chest with her fists. She even cursed at him and called him useless.

Amelia just merely stood by and watched everything. Jasper merely bowed his head while Yolanda hit him.

”Honey, let's go,” Lucian said as he put an arm around Amelia's waist.

Amelia froze, but quickly recovered when she remembered that she was supposed to pretend. She smiled lovingly to spite Yolanda who was now glaring at her.

Before leaving, Amelia glanced at Jasper and gave a sarcastic smile.

That cold winter night, everything seemed to be covered in snow.

She had gotten so lost in her own thoughts that she forgot to ask where Lucian was taking her. When she arrived at her senses, she saw that they had already arrived at Lucian's villa.

”Why did you take me here?” Amelia asked as she glanced at Lucian, with her hands folded in front of her chest.

”This is your home now,” Lucian answered emotionlessly.

Amelia was rendered speechless.

She was still trembling from all the events that unfolded this day. She didn't realize that this was her reality now until she touched the huge diamond ring on her finger.

”Lucian, we're just pretending. Why did you have to get a marriage certificate? And this stupid ring?” Amelia furiously said as she took off the ring and threw it on the ground.

”Wow, looks like you're still in a bad mood from bumping into your ex today,” Lucian said coldly as he looked up.

Amelia ignored him and was getting ready to leave.

”What are you doing?” Lucian asked as he walked over to Amelia and grabbed her arm. The look in his eyes sharpened when he warned Amelia, ”Don't push me!”

Lucian was tense now. Batting her eye lids, Amelia said, ”I only agreed to pretend to be your wife and that doesn't mean that I have to sleep with you.”

Amelia was so angry that she didn't know what she was saying anymore. After she had finished speaking, Lucian loosened his hand that was gripping on her arm.

”Amelia, I thought you were just pretending to be innocent and pure. So are you just worried that you must sleep with me?” Lucian bent over to pick up the diamond ring that Amelia had just thrown to the ground. Then he grabbed her finger and roughly put the ring back on her finger. He sneered as he said, ”If you ever take that ring off again, I assure you that I'm going to make you regret it.”

Amelia was in a daze as he led her upstairs. It wasn't until he pushed her inside the bedroom that she shouted, ”Lucian, I'm warning you!”

Even though she was heartbroken, that didn't mean that she didn't have any self-respect left.

Lucian glanced at her petite figure and sneered.

He flashed her an evil smile which sent a shiver down her spine.

”Lucian, we need to talk about this. Don't do this,” Amelia warned as she covered her chest with her hands.

Putting his hands on the wall behind Amelia, Lucian closed in the distance between them. They were so close to each other now with him towering over her.

She could hear Lucian's breathing and his heart beating quickly.

Amelia had to admit that Lucian was quite a handsome man. Most women would find it hard to resist him. But as she thought of what he had done to her, she just grew angry and irritated.

”Amelia, listen to me carefully,” Lucian said in a low voice. ”I won't do anything to you because we're just pretending. Besides, what makes you think that I would even want to do anything to you? I'm not seduced by you at all.”

After that, the shadow hovering on Amelia's face disappeared and he wasn't breathing as heavily anymore.

Amelia had visibly relaxed, but she was still tense on the inside.

For some reason, his words had bothered her.
