Love Contract

Chapter 127 Jealous (Part Two)

After all, William, I was reckless in trusting you!'

Mary opened her eyes, tears coursing down her flushed cheeks.

"Do you feel miserable? !" William shouted in her face, "Did I mistreat you? !"

Mary bit her lips, trying not to meet his gaze.

"Facing Victor, you were grinning like a Cheshire cat!" He forced her to look at him, pulling her by the chin. He ordered, "Smile! Smile! I want you to smile at me!"

Slap!

The air stilled, as a defeating silence settled in the living room.

William held the side of his stinging face, staring at Mary in disbelief. He couldn't believe he had been hit by her.

Mary's hand trembled in mid-air, anger welling up inside her. Tears threatened to spill from the corners of her eyes, as she scowled at him. She couldn't even recognize the man in front of her.

"Ding!" Mary's phone suddenly pierced through the silence in the room.

William's eyes accidentally fell on its screen, only to see the message that drove him crazy.

He quickly sat up, grabbing the phone.

"Mary, are you resting? Have a good night. By the way, when the contract is over, I'll take you to a place no one knows us and we can start a new life. What do you think? I'll take you wherever you want to go. I love you! Victor."

After William finished reading the text out loud, his eyes seemed to lose all color.

Mary wiped at her cheeks, and bawled, "Give me my phone!"

He swallowed but did not move from his position.

"Give me my phone!" she repeated, walking towards him and pulling at his sleeve.

"What is this?" William slowly turned around, holding the phone in her face. His loud voice made her stomach churn in fear. "Hmm?"

Mary felt small under his burning gaze, her lips quivering. "I..."

Bang!

Before she could say anything, her phone was smashed on the ground with a loud noise. It was shattered into pieces over the carpet.

"William, you..." She scowled at the ground, feeling heartbroken at the loss of her new phone.

"Mary!" William was suddenly holding her by her shoulders. "You like Victor, right? ! You want to be with him, don't you? ! He loves you. Do you love him back? !"

Mary's rage evaporated when she saw the desperate look on William's face. She smiled and said sweetly, "Yes, I like him! Actually, I love him! I want to marry him! I can't live without him... "

Her words were like a sharp knife, stabbing into William's heart.

Slap!

There was a loud crack, William had slapped her face with all his strength.

Mary's vision grew blurry and she felt her ear burn with the contact. She stumbled to the ground, holding the side of her face.

Her ears were buzzing, as she stared at his feet, feeling helpless.

She closed her eyes shut, wishing this was all a nightmare. 'How could William be so cruel?'

"Mary..." He called her name softly, reaching down to help her. But his mind replayed the message she had just received, and he withdrew his hand.

Did she love Victor? How could she fall in love with him? !

"Ring! Ring! Ring! "

His pocket buzzed and he fished out his phone. It was from Frank.

Mary slowly pushed herself up from the ground. Looking into his eyes, she saw the anger disappear as soon as he answered the phone.

"Hello?"

"William, where are you? Why haven't you come back yet?" Frank asked on the other end of the phone. "It's over midnight."

"Well, I..." After taking a look at Mary, he turned around and said, "I'm at the company."

"Ha-ha..." Mary chuckled. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

"When will you come back?"

"Tonight... Tonight I won't... "

"William!" Frank cried, "I have been waiting for you! If you don't come back, I might do something you'll regret!"

"Frank..."

"You are nice to me because of my sister," Frank roared on the phone. "You are with Mary! Aren't you?"

"Frank! Calm down!" William was irritated at his outburst.

"William, if I don't see you tonight, I will kill myself!"

Even though Frank had always been an extreme person, his words shocked him.

His mind suddenly replayed what happened a few months ago. Because Frank had slept with Nancy after he got drunk, he soaked himself in the bathtub for hours. He had almost drowned...

"Frank, don't do anything stupid!" William assured him, "I am coming over!"

"Really?"

"Yes. I'll be there in an hour. Wait for me!"

"Okay." Frank nodded, "I'll wait for you, William."

After hanging up the phone, William turned around to find Mary standing up.

Clenching the phone tightly, he didn't know what to say.

"William, I want a divorce." Mary's words floated in the air. He couldn't believe his ears.

"Divorce? !" All the previous anger had come back to him as he rushed towards her, he echoed, "Mary, don't let me hear you say that ever again! I will not divorce you! Are you doing this to be with Victor? No way! I won't allow it!"

"I am going to prepare the divorce papers, and you have to sign them. I will pay you the money for breaking the contract." Mary was expressionless, her words empty of any emotion. "I wish you happiness."

She swiftly turned around to walk away.

"Mary!"

William roared, grabbing her arm, and dragging her to the bedroom.

"What are you doing? !" Mary tried to push him away, but his hold was strong.

"You can't step out from now on!" She was pushed into the bedroom. William was quick to break the lock on the other side, as he slammed the door shut.

"William!" Mary pushed herself up and started banging on the door. "Let me out! Are you out of your mind? Let me out!"

William backed away from the door, frowning at her cries. There was a sheen of sweat glittering on his forehead. He turned around to leave, not wanting to hear her screams anymore.

Crack!

The door of the apartment loudly closed. William leaned against the door, shutting his eyes due to exhaustion.

He felt like he had become crazy. To keep her from leaving, he had locked her in the bedroom.

William pushed himself away from the door, still hearing Mary's muffled cries. 'I had to do this!' he tried to convince himself. She was asking for a divorce! He felt jealous thinking of her with Victor...

Jealous?

His eyes widened. What was he thinking? He was jealous? How could he be jealous of Victor?

"Do you like Mary?"

He recalled what Lucas had asked him.

"No, that's impossible..." There was no connection between them, it was all just the contract. William started shaking his head, murmuring, "Is it possible?... Did I really fall in love with her?"

"Ring! "

The phone in his pocket rang again.

"Hello?" William rubbed his eyes.

"Have you set off?"

"Yes," William replied, as he hurried towards the elevator. "I'm leaving. I'll be there soon." "That's good. William, come back quickly!"

"Yes, I will." He stepped into the elevator after hanging up the phone, his face, a mixture of confusion and fear.

"William! William! Let me out!" Inside the bedroom, Mary's throat burned after screaming for a while. She kept pounding the wooden door, but no response came.

"William... Let me out... "

Her voice frail, Mary fell to the ground. Her whole body felt heavy as she struggled to sit up.

When her gaze fell on the mirror, she couldn't recognize the face staring back.

The left side of her face was swollen, her ear turned red. There were streaks of tears covering her face.

Mary let out a small whimper, as a sharp pain burned in her ears.
