A Matter of Wife and Love by Mila

Holding her neck, Elyse coughed vigorously, nearly hacking her lungs out.

“You should know there’s a price to pay for deceiving me.” Leo’s cold tone came from above her.

Still choking for her life, she felt tears rolling down her cheeks as this terrifying man stunned her. She fully believed Leo was adamant about strangling her to death earlier. Although she had always known of his cruelty, it was today she realized she had underestimated him. There’s no end to how cruel he can be!

Up to this point, she knew she could not admit to her deeds no matter what. Once she did, she would die a dog’s death. Leo doesn’t have any evidence anyway, and I didn’t leave any signs behind.

I don’t understand why you’re suddenly pinning the blame on me. I-I-I feel so wronged.”

Her tears started to fall, yet they stemmed from fear rather than aggrievement.

Still, she knew if the secret about Amelie’s cornea remained unexposed, Amelie could only blame herself for this incident at the end of the day. From the outsiders’ perspectives, it was her ego that caused her the consequences.

“Leony, if you care about her, you should talk her out of it. It isn’t safe to be blindfolded for a bet.”
