When Amelia returned to Riverbay Residence, Liam had already come back. He was sitting on the couch with a magazine in his hands. The couch was still the same, and so were the cushions. Instead of saying anything, Amelia directly went up to her room. Just as she was about to close the door, a hand reached in, halting her in her tracks. Stunned, Amelia looked at the man by the door. "How's your leg?" he suddenly asked. Amelia subconsciously lowered her head and looked at her foot. Though it wasn't swollen anymore, it still ached a little. Actually, it had almost recovered yesterday. However, after exerting too much force during the driving lesson earlier, her foot started hurting again. "It's healed," she replied, not telling him the truth. She wanted to close the door, but before she could, Liam pushed her away and entered. This was his first time entering the guest room since she moved into it. It was much smaller than the master bedroom. Ther
Amelia's heart skipped a beat. "I'm not." "You are!" Liam sounded certain and started laughing. He wrapped his arm around Amelia's slender waist. If she could be more obedient, he might consider holding her like this while sleeping. "Resign from your job, and I'll drop this matter," Liam said. Amelia widened her eyes in shock. She was stunned by what he had said. She let out a laugh. "What if I want you to cut ties with Ms. Lancaster first?" Amelia said coolly. Liam tensed, the smile disappearing from his face. "Come again?" His voice was cold. Amelia knew that this was a sign of him getting angry. "I'll resign once you cut ties with Ms. Lancaster." With a loud smack, Amelia was flung off the bed. Her head struck the wardrobe heavily. It hurt so much that tears welled up in her eyes. "Amelia, you're getting bolder! Who do you think you are to be negotiating with me? Are you even comparable to Hannah?" Liam sneered, looking down at her condescend
"You're so cruel, Liam. No matter what, she was once your woman and even carried your child." Amelia looked at him with incredulity, taken aback by how heartless he could be. Liam sneered and released her chin.As he had expected, Amelia was reluctant to leave him. She didn't say anything more about divorce and even began to show concern for Ava instead. "Why do you still have the mood to care about other people at times like this?" "It's just because I'm also a woman like her!" Amelia wondered if she would really end up like Ava if she left a ruthless person like Liam. Right then, Ava's scream rang inside her mind again. "You will never win against her. Just ... divorce!" "Stop acting! If you leave my side, how are you going to financially support your family?" Liam said coldly. "Amelia, you won't do it. If you were bothered by the women by my side, you wouldn't have been so passive throughout these three years. You have endured it for so long; why can't you cont
Liam pinned Amelia down, his presence incredibly palpable. Yet, it wasn't sufficient for him; he forcefully left his marks on her body, marking her as his own. Tears silently coursed down Amelia's cheeks. Throughout her three years of marriage to him, they had never gotten this intimate. But now he was forcing himself on her, regardless of how she felt about it. When Liam pressed his face against hers and sensed the wetness, his body instantly tensed. He looked up at her and saw the tracks of tears on her cheeks. Her eyes were shut tightly, and her long lashes were drenched in tears. She seemed like she didn't want to accept what was happening. "Don't you want to do it?" he asked in a deep voice. Amelia slowly opened her eyes. "In this relationship, do I even have the right to say yes or no?" she replied in despair. Liam frowned. He disliked Amelia's tone and expression. "Tell me, then. Have I ever forced you?" "You didn't allow me to ..." "... w
"Hush! Stop talking and feel me!" Liam said.He didn't care about what Amelia said. He hadn't agreed to the divorce. Well, even if they were to really part ways, they were currently still a couple. He could still do whatever he wanted with her. "I ... Ah ..." She wanted to continue speaking, but Liam had started to moving. When Liam touched her sensitive spot, his eyes glinted. He withdrew his hand and wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes. "Sweetheart, from now on, you're officially Mrs. Prescott. I promise to give you whatever you deserve. So be obedient and stay by my side. Don't think about anything else, okay?" he said in an alluring voice, sounding way gentler than before. Upon hearing that, Amelia seemed to have pictured how wonderful her days ahead would be. Subconsciously, Amelia wanted to agree, but just as she parted her lips, a ringtone resounded in the air. Amelia instantly snapped back to her senses. Liam also paused for a moment,
The next morning, Amelia descended the stairs, feeling uneasy. She didn't know how to face Liam. However, when she sat at the dining table, May told her that Liam hadn't returned since last night. It wasn't until then that Amelia realized the problem that had been bothering her all night had been settled so easily. Yesterday, just as they were about to take the final step in their intimacy, Liam had received a call from another woman and left.Amelia felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. Well, it was better this way too. It could save her from all the troubles if she didn't see him. Immediately after that thought, Amelia mocked herself. Didn't the situation turn out like this because of herself? If she hadn't told him to answer his phone yesterday, he wouldn't have gone out to look for that woman. All of a sudden, Amelia felt she was a little pretentious. Fortunately, she had driving classes to attend recently, so she forced herself to focus on them instea
"So what if you're married? You never got intimate with Liam, after all. Even after a divorce, you'd still a decent woman. Why won't you be a match for Eric?" Alex freely spoke her mind. However, she was a little loud. A lot of the people in the restaurant turned around to look at them. Embarrassed, Amelia leaned down on the table and used the table number card to block her face. "Lower your voice." She tugged at Alex's sleeve. Seeing that, Alex laughed. However, considering how easily embarrassed Amelia was, Alex still did as she said. "Amelia, you have to be mindful of your relationship with Eric. To me, you deserve to have the best man in the world. Never have I thought that you couldn't match any man. But other people may not see it the same way, just like you've always felt you weren't good enough for Liam. Eric ... His family background isn't any weaker than Liam's," Alex said with a serious expression. "What are you talking about? Eric's just my superior, or
For several days, Liam found himself tormented by his impulsive act of that night.He stayed away from home to avoid Amelia, yet the image of her beneath him kept resurfacing in his mind. Then, he felt an urge building within his body. That night, Hannah had said that she was alone in a pub and told him to come over. Honestly, Liam was a bit hesitant at first. He even considered calling Brandon to go to Hannah so that he could proceed with what he wanted to do to Amelia. However, Amelia didn't come out again after entering the bathroom. Liam let out a self-deprecating smile. He almost broke his promise for Amelia, but she avoided him in the end. She didn't want to be his woman. If that was the case, there wasn't a need to force her. He was Liam Prescott, after all, a man who could have any woman he wanted. So he went and looked for Hannah in a random pub. He had never been there before, nor did he have any idea how Hannah had found it. After sending her to a
