Love Contract

Chapter 126 Jealous (Part One)

The sky had turned dark outside the Kylin International Community. A few people were loitering around.

"Here we are." Mary looked outside the window from Victor's car. "I'm very happy with how today went, except for the small incident."

"Don't take it to heart. It's okay," Victor comforted her.

"Okay." Mary nodded at him. "I'll go upstairs then."

"Okay." Victor looked at her with an earnest expression.

Giving a polite smile, she stepped out of the car and started walking towards the building.

"Mary!"

A car door slammed shut behind her. She turned around at the loud sound, raising her eyebrows.

Victor had walked out of his car, holding a bouquet.

"Did you like the flowers I sent you?" He looked ethereal under the streetlight as he walked towards her. He murmured, "It’s time I gave you ninety-nine flowers."

"Those flowers were sent by you?" Mary asked, her confusion apparent.

"Yes." With a broadening smile, he strode over to where she was standing. Stretching out his hand, he handed her the flowers. "For you."

A heavenly scent filled the air, as she stared slack-jawed at the huge bouquet in front of her. She took it without thinking, inhaling the fresh and sweet odor.

"Mary, I really like you. Let's date," he said quietly, his eyes twinkling with a thousand unsaid words.

Mary was stunned. She had never been confessed to like this. Her heart pounded in her chest, as she stared at him wordlessly.

"Mary..."

Victor called her name in a low and hoarse voice. She was so focused on his eyes that she did not even notice how much closer he was now. Time seemed to slow down, as he leaned forward closing the distance between them.

At that exact moment, William happened to see the scene as he drove towards Kylin International.

He took in the image of the roses in Mary's hands as Victor's arms gently held her.

"Bastard!" Clenching his fists, William thumped his steering wheel as he felt his blood boil at the sight.

All of a sudden, Mary stepped back with a hand on Victor's chest. "Victor, I... I can't, I'm sorry..."

He paused and looked down at her, his adam's apple bobbing in his throat. "It's okay, Mary. I'll give you time. I told you, I am willing to wait until the contract is over."

"But I..."

"Mary." Victor held both her hands in his, shaking his head. "Don't refuse. You don't have to say anything. I will wait for you."

He let go of her, turned around, and left in his car. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

"Victor..." Mary was glued to her spot, watching him leave.

'Victor, what should I do?'

Under the lonesome streetlight, she gazed straight ahead, her mind reeling with the events that just transpired. After a while, she slowly turned around to head inside.

"Took you a long time to move, were you savoring the kiss?"

The cold voice broke her reverie and she stopped in her tracks.

William!

Her heart started beating faster when she spotted William slowly walk out from the shadows.

He had his hands in his pockets, looking all casual. A smile was playing on his lips, but not quite reaching his eyes. His eyes were giving her a sinister look.

Mary could only stare at him, as she instinctively backed up. She could feel the coldness in his eyes, the anger growing behind them.

"You... Why are you here?" she stuttered.

"Oh! I'm sorry. Did I disturb you?" he spoke in an icy tone, slowly taking a few steps towards her.

"What? No...I don't know what you are talking about." She abruptly turned around to get away from him.

"Mary!" His hand grabbed her firmly in place, stopping her from going anywhere.

"What are you doing? !" Mary cried, "Let go of me!"

"Let you go? ! Don’t you feel guilty? You were seeing another man behind my back. Holding his hands and playing games with him, are you happy now? !" Mary was taken aback at his words. How

did he know about that?

"Why aren't you saying anything? Hmm?" His hold on her arm tightened, causing her to wince.

"I have nothing to say," Mary hissed at him. "I want to go upstairs and rest."

"No!" William said through gritted teeth.

"What the hell do you want? !" Raising her voice, Mary glared up at him.

"What do I want? What do you think?" His lips curved into a sly smirk, pulling her close by her waist. Before she could register what was happening, his lips were on top of hers in a forceful kiss.

Mary's eyes widened.

She tried to push him away, feeling his warm mouth pressed over hers.

"Hmm..." Mary frowned and kept resisting him. She raised the bouquet in her hands and hit him across his shoulder.

"Mary!" William raised his head, fuming with anger. He was staring so fiercely at her as if he was going to eat her alive. "You weren't resisting Victor just now! !"

"Why would I resist?" Mary sneered at him, pushing his body away from herself. When he saw her daring smile, fury overtook him. He regretted not beating up Victor the moment he saw them together.

"Mary, you are my wife. How dare you flirt with another man behind my back! You have to remember your duties as a wife!"

"Wife?" Mary darkly chuckled. Glaring at him, she spoke loudly, "I am not your wife! This is a contractual relationship! Do you understand what that means? I can kiss whoever I like. It's none of

your business!"

"It's none of my business? !" William growled, repeating her last words incredulously. Out of nowhere, his hand reached out to hurl the bouquet out of her hand.

Mary watched as the roses fell on the ground with a soft thump, the broken petals spreading into a mess.

"What are you doing? !" She yelled at him. Before she could say more, she was hoisted in the air.

William carried Mary on his shoulders and started walking.

"William, are you crazy! Put me down!" Mary screamed as she kept punching his back. William had an indifferent look on his face, as he kept walking towards the elevator.

As they stepped inside, Mary watched the numbers rise as she was held upside down. Her mind felt foggy with fear and anger. Was he going to hurt her?

The elevator dinged with the arrival of the twentieth floor. William was struggling to hold her in place, as she kicked around.

With a violent push, Mary was thrown onto a sofa. Her phone cluttered out of her pocket and onto the floor.

"Well..." Her head was heavy as she looked up at William through blurry eyes. With trembling hands, she tried to sit up and cried, "Don’t come any closer!"

"Mary, are you afraid of me?" William's cold gaze fixated on her. "It's too late now! I'll have you know if I control you or not!"

He was pressing over her in a blink, trapping her in place.

"William! I will sue you!" She squirmed against the sofa, begging, "Let go of me!"

"Sue me?" William gazed at her with an evil sneer. "As you said, we are in a contractual relationship. I pay you for this, remember? How are you going to sue me?"

"You bastard!"

"I don't mind being more of a bastard!" William bellowed, "I paid for it. I can do whatever I want! Do you still think you have the right to resist me?! His words chilled her to the bone, paralyzing her in fear. Her heart started throbbing in her ears, loud and irregular.

Though she wanted to run away, the fear had crippled her, freezing every muscle in her body, as she stayed motionless while William had his way with her.

'There is never love or care for me in your heart!

I am but a cheap product that you could use and discard!
