CHAPTER 5 She paid Benson to Rape me!

Silence filled the room immediately Jenny and Amelia left, leaving the old man and his grandson together.

“Do you even realize Amelia is your wife? Why are you in a hurry to bring in that girl? It seems to me like you want to kill me before my time.” Grandpa said, coughing at his every word.

“I don't need Amelia anymore, you forced me to marry her, didn't you? Moreover, Jenny has recovered from her illness, and she's back, she has come to stay, this is her family! Alex said, almost yelling while speaking to grandfather. 

“What has come over you Alex?, don't think I can't still control you!” Grandpa said, nodding his head angrily.

“Promise me that no matter what happens, you will not divorce Amelia." Grandpa said, his face turning pale already.

“I think you should take care of yourself instead, Grandpa," Alex frowned. 

“You shameless boy, you are trying to piss me off, aren't you? Why would a reasonable man leave a graceful, beautiful and talented young lady to a vixen? 

Alex pressed his lips and said nothing for a moment. 

“I should take my leave now Grandpa" Alex gave him a brief look, and left the room.

***********

Amelia rested on the railings at the balcony, thinking about all that she eavesdropped from Grandpa and Alex's conversation. 

He doesn't seem to like me, after all my efforts. She thought, and she let out a deep sigh. Her thoughts were interrupted by a familiar voice.

“Oh! Jenny is so sensible and she cares a lot about me, unlike some whore that calls herself my nephew's wife.” Ava snorted. 

“I’m glad Auntie likes it, I was worried you won't like it” Jenny chuckled.

“You're so thoughtful, unlike someone who enjoys free food and a house, but always comes back empty handed.” Ava's face sank, and she laughed out loud. 

Ava raised her voice even more, afraid that no one could hear her.

“You were supposed to get married to Alex three years ago, but some shameless bitch ruined everything. Well, I'm glad you're always in his heart, and not even the person that was so desperate to occupy the position gets a second glance from him.” Ava snorted, and laughed out even harder.

“Auntie, please don't talk like that about Amelia, she won't like it…” 

Not that Amelia couldn't hear all they said, but she chose to ignore them. She briefly walked out from where she was, and headed to Grandpa’s garden, where they'll always come together and talk about a lot of things. “Oh! How I've missed his liveliness…” Amelia thought as she remembered Grandpa's activeness not until he fell sick. 

The garden wasn't large but it was tastefully and beautifully arranged yet lonely.

“My brother is so lucky to have such a beautiful wife like you, and such a lover like Jenny Cole. I envy him so much.” Maurice smiled as he came closer to where Amelia stood.

“It's such a pity that he doesn't even appreciate his gentle and virtuous wife, instead he prefers that white lotus.” Maurice added, not that he cared anyways.

Amelia smiled coldly, knowing what he was up to.

“Poor heart loved the wrong man, so sad!” He exclaimed mockingly.

"It's not your business to interfere with who I love, Mr Maurice Hall, please kindly mind your own business.” Amelia spoke up harshly. 

Maurice looked at her for a few seconds and shrugged, “It's fine if you don't want to listen to my kind words, I'd rather leave than make a fool of myself. 

Maurice turned around and let out a mischievous grin. “The show is about to begin…” he said inwardly. 

Not long after Maurice left, Rose came next.

“Oh! Sister Amelia, do you not refuse any man, what are you doing with this gloomy little bastard Maurice, do you also want to seduce him?” Jenny laughed mockingly.

“Nasty people think nasty things about everything,” Amelia responded sarcastically.

“Sister, I just realized why Alex wants me all the time. He said you're boring when it comes to being intimate, we had s*x the whole night, tossing up to seven times, and cuddling with each other. My body feels sore, and I feel so weak. Jenny smiled suddenly and rolled her eyes. 

It was something she had expected, she wasn't surprised, but she couldn't help but feel bad when Jenny voiced it.

“Sis, you've been sitting in the position of Mrs Hall for too long, are you not ready to voluntarily give up it? Jenny sneered, as she let out a mischievous grin. 

“What you don't know Jenny, As long as we don't get a divorce, you're the mistress.” Amelia smiled, raising an eyebrow at Jenny.

Jenny's face flushed with anger, as she swung her palms at her face. 

“You seem to be angry now, but that's just the truth little sis.” Amelia said, walking close to Jenny, until she covered up the gap between them.

Jenny already saw Alex from afar, and a wicked plan already dropped in her mind. Just as Amelia came closer to her, she threw herself to the floor and held her chest screaming.

“Ahhhhhh!” she screamed aloud and Alex rushed up to the scene to see what was going on. 

“Amelia, what have you done! Do you ever quit to cause me problems?" Alex exclaimed, pushing Amelia aside, as all his attention was on Jenny. 

“Jenny!”

Amelia staggered from his push, but she held herself using her hand to support her belly“ What is the girl up to now? Amelia thought, rubbing her temple.

“Alex, I didn't push…” Amelia was about to say.

"Enough! Alex raised his voice, and the tension in his voice startled Amelia.

Before Amelia could look again, Alex had already helped Jenny to be on her feet, and the worry in his eyes was something she had never seen before. 

“Alex, please don't yell at her like that, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have come back because nobody wants me. I should have just jumped off the building three years ago and died.” Jenny sobbed.

“Jenny, what are you even saying? I'm so happy you're back.”Alex hugged her with so much worry on his face that couldn't be concealed. 

The whole drama displayed before Amelia made anger and grievance surge her heart. She felt so hurt. 

“Sister, I know you don't like me, no matter how much I try. I don't like to see you upset, whatever it is you want me to do, I'll do it. I'm willing to let go of what happened three years ago.

I've already forgiven you and Benson Drake for what you did to me. So long as you wanted it, it doesn't matter if I gave my virginity to Benson for you to be happy.”Jenny held her chest as if she was gasping for air, she held Alex's arm firmly like she was going to fall. 

*What do you mean Jenny?” Alex said as he held her close.

Jenny's eyes flashed with a trace of panic, and she covered her mouth. “No… I didn't mean to say that. I'm sorry! 

The name Benson Drake sounded like a taboo in Alex's ear, the incident that happened that caused the disaster three years ago. It was because of this same man that he was separated from her, in addition to treating her heart disease abroad. He knew the depression Jenny went through.

“Is all you said true? Tell me the truth Jenny! Alex yelled, as his face already turned red.

Jenny trembled slightly, avoiding Alex's gaze. “It's true!" She said covering her mouth and burst into tears. 

“My sister already liked you, and we were so close then, so she…” Jenny cried even more. 

“She paid Benson Drake to rape me three years ago! Jenny held her chest tightly, as if she was having an attack. 

“No, Alex, that's so not true! I wouldn't do such a despicable thing to her… Amelia tried to convince him.

“You bitch! He yelled, giving her a thunderous slap that knocked heroff. 

“Ahhhh!... She held her cheek and fell to the ground.

Jenny lowered her head and let out a wry smile.
