Too Much to Bear, My Love

Amelia gave an OK sign and said, “Don’t worry. I’ll call you if anything happens. Rest assured that I’ll treat my sweetheart well.”

Then, she stepped into the lift and went downstairs.

Amelia hailed a cab and returned to her apartment in the city. She took the elevator to her floor and headed to her door. Just as she unlocked her door with her keys, someone pulled her in with great force from inside. Before she knew it, she was pulled into a tight embrace and even bumped her nose against the person’s rock-hard chest.

It almost made her tear up in pain.

She tolerated it and looked up at the man. Giving him a smile, she asked, “Mr. Clinton, you’re oddly passionate today. Did you miss me?”

Oscar lifted her chin forcefully and queried in a demanding manner, “Who was the man who ate with you today?”

The woman burst into a chuckle as her cheeks flushed in happiness. “Mr. Clinton, are you jealous?”

The man’s eyes flashed ominously at this question. He warned her sternly, “Don’t beat around the bush. You should know what’s going to happen if you betray me.”

“Mr. Clinton, you’re like the thief that steals a horse but doesn’t allow another to look over the hedge. Don’t forget Ms. Yard is already back, which means that we won’t be husband and wife soon. It’s not your business as to who I was with.”

Oscar lowered his head and bit her lips in frustration, causing her to cry out in pain.

After he let go, Amelia brushed a finger against her lips and saw blood. She scoffed and remarked, “I didn’t know that you liked biting so much, Mr. Clinton.”

“You’re still mine since we’re not divorced yet. If you ever betray me and flirt with other men, I won’t go easy on you. Don’t blame me if I disregard our status as husband and wife.”

“Did you ever care in the first place? You hung out with your ex-girlfriend in my presence and said that I wasn’t related to you. Did you ever care about how I felt?” Amelia questioned.

The man narrowed his eyes. “Are you protesting now?”

She looked up and stared deep into his eyes as she asked, “What do you think, Mr. Clinton?”

“Amelia, don’t forget that our relationship is purely contractual.”

She nodded and retorted, “That’s exactly what I wanted to say. When we signed the contract, it was made clear that you would not interfere in any of my matters as long as I carried out my duties. That’s the extent of our relationship. Did you forget, Mr. Clinton?”

Oscar’s expression turned even darker. “So, is that man your boyfriend now?”

“Don’t make it sound so bad, Mr. Clinton. Don’t worry. I won’t have any boyfriends during this period of time. You know, not everyone can have so many partners at once like you. You must be having such a good time.”

Oscar really hated this defiant side of her. He wanted Amelia to be as obedient as a pet. Right now, she was behaving so defensively and rebelliously.
