Too Much to Bear, My Love
Chapter 10

“He is going to divorce me.”

Tiffany suddenly sat up, not feeling sleepy anymore. “How much didyou get? Amelia, you're such a materialistic woman. Please don't tell methat you fell in love with him and refused the money he offered!”Amelia's face clouded over as she asked, “Tiffany, how greedy do youthink I am?”

“You're not greedy; you just adore money,” replied Tiffany seriously.“Tell me quickly! Considering how rich Oscar is, how much would youreceive if you get a divorce?”

Amelia kicked her shoes off and sat on the bed. Snuggling under theblankets, she mumbled, “Tiff, what if I actually fell in love with Oscar?”Surprised, Tiffany exclaimed, “Amelia, you actually fell in love with him?He's your employer! I thought you were just joking.”

“I don't want to fall in love with him either, but I can't control myfeelings. It's too late when I realized my feelings for him. If I ever seehim together with the woman he loves, I'll wish for nothing more thanto kill her. But I don't want him to hate me,” murmured Amelia.

Tiffany resumed her solemn tone. “Are you serious, Amelia?”

Amelia nodded.

Exasperated, Tiffany groaned, “Are you stupid, Amelia? What should Ieven say to you? Weren't you the one who declared that you onlymarried Oscar for his money? Why are you suddenly saying that you fellin love with him?”

“If I can control my feelings, I won't be feeling so troubled now,” repliedAmelia in frustration.

Tiffany sat down beside her and persuaded, “I must say, Oscar's quitehot. But don't you hate playboys the most? Your relationship with himwas nothing but a monetary transaction. He pays you to act as histemporary wife. That's all! I thought you can differentiate between amere transaction and genuine love. Never had I expected you to beblinded by love one day.”

Amelia smiled bitterly.

Just like what she had said earlier, if feelings could be controlled, therewould not be so many men and women pathetically in love.

Other than being rich and handsome, there was nothing else to Oscar.He was a playboy constantly rocked by scandals. Yet, many womenlonged for him despite that. Although they knew how unfathomablethat man was, they would still jump into the trap willingly. In the end,those women would only be the victims.

“Tiff, I'm going to sign the divorce contract with him next week. By then,we will have nothing to do with each other,” said Amelia dejectedly.“What are you going to do? Divorce him or snatch him back from theother women's grasps?” asked Tiffany, her question hitting the nail onthe head.

Shaking her head, Amelia replied helplessly, “Use your imagination as anovelist. How will the plot proceed from here?”

Tiffany glanced at her and rambled on, “Well, according to a novelist'spoint of view, both of you will definitely divorce and Oscar will thendiscover that he genuinely loves you. After that sudden revelation, he'lltry his best to court you back. However, he'll have to endure the samesuffering which you've experienced in the past. When both of youreconcile, the second male lead, who had always loved you, will appear.The second and third female lead will then emerge too. There'll bemultiple love triangles, with many parties involved being hurt. Ofcourse, the ending would be a happy one. Those women who hadsabotaged the female lead will definitely be hurt by the male lead andsecond male lead.”

Amelia burst into laughter.
