Love Contract novel Chapter 127

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.

"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..."
