Like a demon possessed him, Jonny moved frantically. He grabbed Amelia's clothes, and ripped them to tear them apart.
"Jonny!" Amelia, with a pale face exclaimed in shock.
Her fear didn't calm Jonny down. Instead, he looked at her and dropped the clothes. He reached out and gripped her throat tightly with his strong hands. No more sounds came out from her mouth.
In a panic, she garnered her strength to lift her foot and stamped down hard on Jonny's toe, as hard as she could.
The sharp jolt of pain seemed to relax Jonny's grip, but he was quick to calibrate. He looked at her, breathing heavily. Baring his teeth like a dangerous baboon, he said spitefully, "Amelia, you're not a business man, but you have got to pay me something, right?"
He then pushed his face closer to her but was avoided by Amelia immediately. Disgust was written all over her face.
"If you choose to get paid in this way, you need to know the consequences of your actions!" Amelia was not going to play this game.
She wasn't the type of woman to submit to coercion like this.
She did not feel any self-pity, but she felt sorry for Lucian's sake.
Jonny thought that he could take advantage of her, holding her against the wall like a rag doll.
"You are one sick dog!" This was another side to Jonny, he seemed to be out of his mind completely.
No matter how she struggled or fought back, he pushed himself even harder against Amelia.
This was a game of fire, and someone was going to get burned.
"Jonny, stop it!" Emma called out at the right time. Amelia was losing consciousness, her head felt like it was about to explode. A small gasp of air escaped her mo
't understand why Amelia lied to him.
"It seems that every time you go to visit Jonny, telling me the truth becomes difficult." He couldn't help himself, it was coming out of his mouth and he couldn't control it.
However, he was inferring something darker. He could feel something had happened between them.
Amelia didn't say anything, but she couldn't stop the corner of her mouth from twitching nervously.
She didn't tell him because she knew that he would be angry. But in the end, not telling him made him even angrier than she could imagine.
"Amelia, don't pretend like you are at a loss for words. Am I the only one who did something wrong?" Amelia's silence seemed to anger Lucian, for every second she didn't say anything it grew bigger inside of him.
He no longer had any patience with her, this was getting ugly.
Over the past two years, getting to know each other had been a process.
So, Amelia moved forward and knelt in front of Lucian. She held his legs with her hands and looked up at him.
"Lucian, if I hadn't hidden it from you this time, I wouldn't have been able to see Jonny's two-sided face!" She looked like a child who had a rough day on the playground with some bullies.
She ground her teeth inside of her mouth without opening it, looking at the sofa beside Lucian.
Lucian's anger turned to concern. He gently took hold of Amelia's hand and pulled her onto his lap. He asked softly, "What did he say to you?"
By Lucian's response, Amelia now understood what he was worried about the whole time.
She shook her head, looking like a drunk on cheap wine, "Nothing, but I thought that I knew who he was, but I didn't."
