Chapter 40 Are You Falling in Love with Me?
Ophelia had no fear, and said with a smile. “You've spent so much money on me, and I take that as the payment from you for me to satisfy you.”
She paused and added, “Now that Cora is back, why don't you just take it all out on her? Won' you be worried that she can't be satisfied?”
Zachariah's face suddenly turned gloomy. He kept his voice down and said, “Don't you dare to talk about her like that again! She's innocent and pure. How dare to put your dirty thoughts and unbecoming imaginations on her?”
“She's innocent and pure? How did she get my number when she was still in Europe and threatened me? She looked innocent, and that might be the reason why you can't forget her. It seems what all men like that.”
Zachariah's face turned gloomier. He looked at her and said fiercely, “Ophelia, I thought you were a well-behaved woman. It turns out you're such a calculating and vicious woman. I was wrong.”
Ophelia couldn't help laughing, “What did that come from?”
Zachariah got off her, stood up and tidied his neat shirt. Then he said without turning his head back, “Don't you dare to have any thoughts on Cora. I'll notify you the time of divorce when it is the time. Cora doesn’t want to move back, so you have to pretend to be my wife for the time being. I'll set you free as long as she decides to shift her career home.”
Ophelia smiled bitterly. She was more than a shadow of Cora now. She had to satisfy his physical needs.
“Aren't you afraid that I'll get angry and quit this job?”
“Our agreement has been sealed by the law firm; you can leave if you could afford 100 million dollars for the breach of contract.”
He played that card again.
“Mr. Chambers, don't you feel ashamed for threatening and bullying a woman with your power and money?”
Zachariah turned around and said, “I could've been meaner. Do you want to have a try?”
Ophelia got out of bed, walked to Zachariah and put her arms around his waist, saying, “Honey, be it a contract marriage or a marriage for love, we've been together for four years. Things don't have to turn ugly even if we divorce someday. Alright?”
“That would be nice if you really think so.”
Ophelia said sweetly, “I've always been thinking so.”
She paused and smiled. Then she said, “Honey, I don't want to live my life with nothing but shopping anymore, so I asked someone to find a job for me. I'll start working next Monday. Are you OK with that?”
Zachariah turned around and said, “Are you broke?”
Ophelia smiled and said, “How could I be broken with the money you give me every month? I feel bored, and that's all. I need a real job to kill time.”
Zachariah nodded, “You can if you want. Where is it?”
Ophelia told him the address.
Zachariah said, “Nice location, but I've never heard about the name before. Is it a startup?”
“It has been in operation for several years. You've been too busy running big companies, and it's natural that you haven't heard of it. I'm taken that for a 'yes' from you.”
“When we got married, it has been written clearly in the contract that your personal circle would be none of my business, but you're not allowed to hook up with other men. If that happens, I'll let you suffer.”
Ophelia pursed her lips and said, “You're so domineering.”
“You are my wife, and you should be exclusive to me. Don't you even have any thoughts on any other men?”
“I guess I won't be yours very soon. I'll do what you teach me by then... I'll find a hunk and a tall model and enjoy the double fun they give me.” NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Zachariah's face darkened.
“Ophelia, stop being such a slut!”
“I'm not.”
Zachariah said with a sullen face, “I'll snap your leg if you dare to hook up with any other men.”
“Hey? Isn't that unreasonable? We won't be married by then.”
“Put away your perverted thoughts. You cannot get rid of me unless I allow you,” he said and left the bedroom for the study.
Ophelia blinked her eyes innocently. She didn't know what was going on in Zachariah's mind. He was the one who said that they would get a divorce, but now that Cora was back, he should have persuaded her to stay with him instead of talking nonsense with Ophelia here.
The man's thoughts were really complicated.
Shaking her head, Ophelia took her nightgown and took a hot bath in the bathroom. Then she poured a cup of sugarless milk in the kitchen, and brought it upstairs.
She knocked at the door and got in once she got the permission for Zachariah.
“I got you a glass of milk. It's good for your health if you take it before going to bed,”
She said as she leaned forward to put the glass in front of him. He looked up and saw the wonderland hidden in her nightgown. Suddenly, his tired eyes turned focused.
Ophelia was very satisfied with his reaction. She tried to seduce him deliberately but naturally, “It's so late. Shall we go to sleep?”
Zachariah had to admit that Ophelia was a natural charmer. Charmers like her wouldn't need to work by themselves to make a living. There was a world of men out there who were willingly to love them and support them. They would buy them luxurious purses, designer clothes and shoes.
She was too good at pleasing men, and he was so obsessed with her body. Just thinking that other men would have that made him angry.
His tone became cold and tough again, “Wear more clothes if you need to see other men. Look at what you're wearing now!”
Seeing him being so unreasonable, Ophelia looked at him and said, “I thought you like me wearing this! You would've kicked me out of this place if I acted like a nun or an undersexed woman?”
Zachariah's face remained sullen.
“You look like a jealous husband... Wait! Are you in love with me?”
