Contract Marriage: My Callous Husband

Chapter 3

However, Amy would not rejoice for long.

Early one morning, the cyber security department manager of Fontbona Group detected that there was an unauthorized access to the bidding documents. Although it did not affect the awarding of the project, it was an extremely serious situation. Charles was furious when he learned about it and could not wait for the driver to arrive. He ordered Amy to drive him to the company immediately.

Along the way, Amy had butterflies in her stomach and silently prayed that she would not be found out.

As soon as Charles arrived at the company, he went straight to the conference room. Amy waited just outside the door and was able to hear the terrifying reprimands coming from inside. Charles’ voice was extremely majestic, roaring like a furious lion and trembling the glass panels around the room.

“Amy! Come in right now!” Charles shouted.

“My dear wife, could you please explain why this bidding document was sent to your email?”

Charles slapped the documents into Amy’s face. She lowered her head and was terrified of what was to come.

Charles was furious and demanded. “Answer me!”

Amy slowly stood up and said guiltily, “I’m sorry... I stole the file, but I just wanted to use it in exchange for my dad’s surgery fees...”

Before she could finish explaining her actions, she felt the violent impact of a pen holder slammed onto her forehead.

Amy saw stars momentarily as blood seeped into her eyes. She casually wiped it off but still felt disorientated and in a daze.

“I know that I did something wrong, but I modified the data before giving it to my stepmother... Mr. Fontbona, my intention was not to harm you or the Fontbonas. You have to trust me.”

Charles was taken aback by what she said and ordered her to pick up the documents for him. Upon closer inspection, he found that the data had indeed been modified, especially the crucial quotations, which were completely different than the original version.

This eased most of Charles’ anger. “This woman isn’t so heinous after all.” He thought.

Amy saw his anger ease and knew that what she said had calmed him down. She immediately said humbly, “Mr. Fontbona, I will accept any of your punishments but please spare my life. I still want to live until the day my father opens his eyes. In this world, besides my father, I don’t have any relatives anymore.”

Charles remained silent for a long time. Just when Amy thought that he was about to torment her physically, he tossed the document into the trash can and turned his wheelchair so that he faced away from her.

“This matter ends here. If you dare to do it again, regardless of how you modified the data or any other information, I will definitely make you pay a painful price. Do you understand?”

Amy quickly nodded and said, “Yes Sir, I understand.”

“Then get out now, I don’t want to see you!” he roared.

Amy narrowly escaped disaster and felt very fortunate. However, she also knew that being with her husband was like being with a wild beast. She would suffer if she continued to stay by Charles’.

However, only after her father successfully completed the surgery could she have the peace of mind to plan carefully for her future.

She could not handle the pressures of being Mrs. Fontbona. Whoever wanted to marry into the Fontbona was welcome to try.

A week later, Amy met her father at the hospital after the successful surgery. Her father’s life was no longer in danger for the time being. The doctor told her to pay the hospitalization fees soon and reminded her not to cause any delays.

Previously, the Brown Group lost a major business deal and suffered heavy losses. Amy used her identity as Mrs. Fontbona to contact some companies to help the Brown family overcome the difficulties. Although she did all of this behind Charles’ back, she knew that it was inevitable that he found out about it. When that happened, there was no telling what Charles might do to her. In order to protect herself, she drafted a divorce agreement in case of emergency.

The Brown Group quickly regained its footing and stabilized the business. Amy’s father also woke up a few days after the surgery. He then sobbed uncontrollably when he heard that the family was in turmoil.

“My dearest daughter, it’s my fault. I didn’t expect your stepmother and sister to be so cruel and heartless. I had treated them so well these years, but the way they treated you... Amy, I’m really sorry that you suffered so much because of me.”

Amy dived into her father’s arms and cried uncontrollably. She knew that her father would also be heartbroken. She did not blame him for all these sufferings.

“Dad, I want a divorce. I don’t want to stay at that house ever again. I want to leave Charles.”

My father supported her decision but now he was no longer able to protect her physically. He could only urge her to be careful and protect herself.

Amy wanted to make some preparations before she mentioned the divorce to Charles. However, his mother, Linda, managed to find out about it.

“You can’t divorce. Charles is not getting any younger, and the future of the Fontbona family is in his hands. He must have children, and your stepmother has already taken all your money. You must stay here and carry out your duties as a wife.”

Amy wanted to raise the topic again, but Linda had already told Charles about the matter and ordered him not to bully his wife again. He must fulfill his responsibilities as an heir and have children as soon as possible. Only then will there be a future for the Fontbona family.

When Charles saw the divorce agreement, he became furious as hell!

“Do you really think that I don’t know what you’ve been doing these days? You used my reputation to secretly support the Brown Group. I chose to turn a blind eye to what you did and now you want a divorce? Don’t you think that it’s so ridiculous?”

“Only I can initiate a divorce. Is garbage like you worthy? Even my mother managed to find out, you’re so disappointing.”

Charles opened a bottle of wine and forcefully poured it into her mouth until she started to vomit repeatedly. He then smashed the bottle onto the ground.

When he was finally done venting his anger, he ordered her to kneel in front of him.

After hours of kneeling, she could no longer feel her legs.

Charles smashed everything he could get his hands on. He opened another bottle of wine and began to drink it. As he drank, Amy could only kneel as she was told and began to tremble in fear. She was worried that Charles might throw the wine bottle at her.

Charles was soon drunk.

“Mr. Fontbona, please stop drinking, we...” Before she could finish her sentence, she was startled to see him stand up!

“You go to hell... you nasty b***h!” Charles staggered toward her. Amy was dumbfounded as she looked at him. “Isn’t he half paralyzed? How the hell...”

“Mr. Fontbona, what happened to your legs?”

“Shut the hell up! I didn’t allow you to speak!”

She was picked up by him like a rag doll and thrown onto the bed. Charles stripped her of her clothes in a fit of anger and pinned her down with his body. She tried to scream for help but only managed a whimper.

Amy closed her eyes in despair as she was repeatedly r***d.

The assault finally stopped and he soon fell asleep. She wrapped herself in a blanket, staggered out of the bedroom, and went back to the storeroom.

The next morning, Amy put on her clothes and walked into the bedroom as she endured all the aches in her body. She wanted to apologize to him again and tell him that she would never seek a divorce. Additionally, Amy wanted to know what was going on with Charles’ body.

He was clearly disabled. But Charles did not remember anything that happened.

“Amy, don’t be so curious about things that you shouldn’t know. If you want to accuse me of r****g you in order to set me up, then you’ll be sorely disappointed. I hate you and your presence. From today onward, I don’t want to see you ever again.”
