Love in Prime Years

Chapter 22 No Longer My Husband

Rufus kicked her so hard that Amelia directly knelt on the ground.

Rufus hugged Madeleine gently, “Sweetheart, I ask her to apologize to you! I have told you I won’t let

anyone bully you!”

“Sweetheart, I will not let anyone bully you again when we get out!”

Looking at Rufus leaving without caring about her, Amelia thought of what he said to her many times in

the dungeon. At this time, Amelia’s vision was blurred by tears.

She felt everything was ironic for her. She was forced to kneel twice by the man she loved and her

friend who had shared weal and woe with her.

The people she cared about most always trampled on her dignity relentlessly.

Amelia had a severe pain in her knee and she began to have a stomachache. It was long after Rufus

and Madeleine leaving that she barely stood up with the support of the wall beside.

She walked down the busy street like a walking corpse, and suddenly she felt there was no light on the

way ahead. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

It was really hard for her to have one million dollars before she died.

But she would cure Leigh and make him have a healthy life even if she had to fight with the fate.

After wandering like a ghost on the road for more than half an hour, Amelia finally returned to Willow

Alley.

She went back to check out if there was anything else that she could sell for Leigh’s medical fee.

Willow Alley was owned by Lawrence, so she could not sell it. But she could sell something which was

bought by her in the second-hand market for some money.

As soon as she opened the door, Amelia saw Lawrence sitting on the sofa in the living room. He

enshroud by the light, so she could not see any brightness on him, only the darkness and ruthlessness

that could engulf everything.

Seeing Amelia, Lawrence raised his head suddenly. There were suffocating fury and anger in his eyes.

Without waiting for her to speak, he got up and slammed a pile of photos in his hand on her face.

"Amelia, how shameless you are!"

He grabbed Amelia’s neck wildly, “I had sex with you yesterday, and you can’t wait to find another man

today. Can’t you live without a man?”

“Lawrence, I don’t know what you are talking about!”

Amelia prised his fingers from her neck. She was so speechless to Lawrence that he would grad her

neck almost every time he saw her.

Maybe it was because she was misunderstood by him for so many times and she was numb, Amelia

was not as sad as she used to be. She thought with bitterness that maybe she would become a giraffe

one day, since her neck was grabbed so many times.

“You don’t know?” Lawrence smiled with great chill, “After being played and thrown away by Jimmy and

now you are hooking up with his elder brother. Amelia, how shameless you are!”

“I am not!” Amelia shook her head heavily, “Rufus is my friend and we are not in a relationship as you

think!”

“Hum!” Lawrence sneered, showing his disbelief of what Amelia had said.

At this moment, Amelia saw the picture on the ground. Those photos were taken when she met Rufus

in the underground garage tonight.

Tonight, she did not have any close contact with Rufus, but it seemed that she threw herself into

Rufus’s arms shamelessly because of the anger the photo had taken.

"Amelia, what else do you have to say?"

Lawrence picked up a photo on the ground. It was a photo of Rufus kicking her knee. Combining with

the previous photos, it looked like that she threw herself into Rufus’s arms and was kicked away by

him.

Seeing the mistrust in Lawrence’s eyes, Amelia suddenly did not want to explain to him. She smiled

with self-mockery. The weary and helpless expression on her face was quite attractive.

“Lawrence, you seem to forget that we are divorced.”

“It means I am no longer your wife. And we have nothing to do with each other!”

“So it has nothing to do with you whether I hook up with another man or anything else! Lawrence, you

are no longer my husband anymore!”

“Amelia, how dare you?” Lawrence turned around abruptly and pressed Amelia on the sofa, his lips

pressing on Amelia’s mouth violently.

“Amelia, even if I don’t want you, you can’t be with another man!”

Amelia realized he would do what he used to do to her next, regardless of her will. So she did not

struggle, but opened her eyes wearily.

“Lawrence, do you know what I have just done outside? Don’t you find me dirty? I remember you are

obsessional about hygiene.”

After hearing Amelia’s words, Lawrence pushed her away suddenly, shouting, “Amelia, you are such a

bitch!” Then he left.

Amelia was slammed heavily on the cold floor and there was a great pain in her stomach.

She grabbed her stomach forcibly and tried to get up from the ground. But she was in such a great pain

that she still had to curl up on the ground and kept cramping, even though she had tried her best.

Amelia had no more painkillers. So she would be too painful to survive if it went on like this.

Amelia crawled awkwardly on the floor, trying to buy some painkillers to ease the pain. Once she

opened the door of the apartment, two strong men rushed in and forced her into a sack.

“Let me go! Who are you? Just let me go!”

Amelia struggled desperately in the sack, but no matter how hard she tried, both men had no intention

to let her go.

The pain in her stomach was growing stronger, and finally she was almost out of consciousness.

She faintly felt that she had been thrown into the trunk of a car. A black unlicensed Volkswagen was

driving at full speed, and soon she was completely out of consciousness in the car.

When Amelia woke up, she found she was in the dungeon where Jimmy and Lillian had imprisoned

her. She could not help shuddering at the thought of the terrible memory.

“Let me out!” Amelia’s voice was hoarse as if her vocal cords were hurt by a car. She found that she

was still too weak to summon her strength, even if she was set free from the sack.

There was only pain in her.

“Amelia.” The voice of Madeleine sounded behind Amelia. Amelia suddenly turned around and saw

Madeleine folding her arms and looking at her with a smile.

“It seems that you like Dorothy a lot! Lillian said since you like her so much, you might as well become

as handicapped as her!”

Became a handicapped person like Dorothy... It was well known that Dorothy didn’t have a pinky of her

left hand. Should Lillian and Madeleine chop off the pinky of Amelia?
