Watching her daughter talking back to her husband , Mrs Smith was really frightened. She didn't dare to think what kind of storm would come inside the house. She just couldn't understand what was going on , Amelia was a troublemaker but she would always behave herself in front of her father. Did she got her courage because of Lucas . After all, her recent doings are because of him. She thought that she would talk about this in private with her daughter . But first she tried to ease the situation.
" How can you talk to your father in this manner. Apologize, then he will not be too angry with you ."
Mr. Smith was in shock but when he heard his wife talking ,he got arrogant again . Right, he is the head of this house ,how can anyone dare to raise their voice against him .
He was the perfect example of toxic masculinity.
" I would have thought to spare this girl but she has crossed her limits. Now no one can save her. "
After witnessing this entertainment, Amelia chuckled which made Mr. Smith more angry and of course Mrs. Smith was shaking with fear.
" Who is going to spare me ? You? What a joke, I don't remember the last time I have heard such a funny joke . But I don't know if Asher is gonna spare you , he doesn't seem like a person who can spare anyone. "
It seems like Mr. Smith didn't really believed that she is so daring. How can a girl who always tried to run away from Mr. Anderson, dare to complain about him. She is nothing but a paper tiger .
" Do you really think you have gained some power just because you are going to marry him. You are going to be nothing but a doll in his house , who he will bring out from time time to show as his wife . You have done a big mistake by going against me , if you think that he is gonna save you. "
Because of the novel Amelia knew about the thought process of this man. She knew what he was thinking.
" Do you think , he is like you ,a person who does not care about his wife. Well even if you think so , you should know that he will not tolerate anyone else touching his people."
Mrs. Smith flinched when she heard this.And obviously Mr. Smith knows, Asher would never tolerate even if it's his servant who is scolded by others , as it's a challenge to his own authority. And everyone is aware of his obsession with Amelia. No one knows how he will treat Amelia as she always get on his nerves by chasing Lucas, but he will not tolerate others treating her like a sh*t. So, he tried to use his father card .
" You are my daughter, you should care about the prosperity of this house. How can you threaten me?"
" Faaather ,if you know that I am important for the prosperity of this house, then should not you treat me a bit better. Huh? " She said in a sweet tone .
It was first time Mr. Smith beared such a humiliation in his house , he didn't said anything, went back and slammed the door of his room.
Mrs. Smith finally took a breath when he left.
" Why did you talk to your father like that? Don't ruin the wedding days like this."
Amelia- " Why are you making my mouth shut but not stopping the father from talking ill . He is the one who crossed the line. If not for you, he wouldn't get so arrogant."
Mrs. Smith- " Well- ... Are you doing this
for lucas again ? "
Amelia widened her eyes - " What ? How is this related to him? "
Mr . Smith- " I don't know, but everytime you do something, he is the one on your mind. "
"..."
She looks around the room, find traces of that idiot everywhere and thinks
' Understandable '.
Amelia -"I am only raising my voice against the oppressor and you should do the same. If not for you who always obey him , do you think we would be in this state now. You are also at fault for making me the girl I am."
Mrs . Smith- " What are you talking about , you were never short on money for anything. You have designer clothes and shoes. I don't know why you have to rebel like this. "
Amelia took a long breath " Whatever, I cannot take the well to the thisty person. You can go now , I need to rest. "
" ...Okay" Mrs . Smith didn't knew what to say and just took her leave.
After being left alone, she finally felt peace.
" You would never how irritating this people are until you face them....But it is still unbelievable to see this characters alive. Anyway , I would just stay away from all the people in this plot, that's the only way to live in peace. There is no way I am going to meet the people who are digging grave for me."
" But there is one person I cannot ignore.....wait , if our marriage is two days away that means..."
In the original novel , he is gonna kiss Amelia on the wedding day. Obviously it's normal to kiss the partner in wedding but ...he kiss her really hard until she is out of breath.
Her face turns red and she hid her face in the pillow again.
" I wonder what he is doing now?"
On the other side Asher was sitting inside a black luxury car , holding some documents .He rushed to her house in the busy time , so he had to go through them. After some time he closed them and started to think about her .
' She looks different today, even more beautiful than ever . It is the first time she was nice to me. It's like she changed overnight, is this even possible or she is planning something. But...I like this version of her. Even if she is pretending it would be nice if she continues to do so.'
He looks at the phone but put it down again .
' Forget it , I will let her live her life for two days till marriage.'
