A Graduation Gift novel Chapter 449

No! That could not happen! She was not going to allow it!

"Clark, what the hell do you want?"

she asked with her voice shaking. Clark's motive was a puzzle to her.

"I just want to marry you,"

Clark replied with a carefree smile on his face. He stared at Amanda like a snake wooing his prey.

"But I know you don't love me,"

Amanda replied. She could not understand why Clark would want to marry her. This was a torture for her. Her freedom was something that she held at a high importance.

"I just need us to get married. I won't even touch you,"

Clark shrugged as he took two steps back. Now, his intentions were clear.

Amanda stared at Clark with a face full of disbelief.

'Why does he want to do that?' she couldn't help but wonder. It didn't make sense. His words only made her more and more confused.

"I swear. I won't touch you anymore as long as you agree to marry me. Think about it. Do you want to get married with me then get a happy divorce in a few years, or do you want your naked photos to be seen by the whole world?"

Clark's tone was calm, but his threat was clear.

Amanda looked at Clark miserably. Neither option appealed to her.

Besides, she knew how bad Clark could be. She knew what he was capable of. Ignoring his threat would mean that he would do everything to make her life a living hell again

Saying yes, though...

Amanda closed her eyes and bit her lip as she thought about the consequences.

If she agreed to marry Clark, she at least had the option to divorce him after a couple of years. This would only make her an unlucky, divorced woman. This was way better than being branded a slut.

"Can you promise that you won't touch me and that you will allow me to get a divorce in a few years?"

Amanda asked as she slowly opened her eyes. She was cornered and defeated.

"Yes, I can promise you that, don't worry. I can even sign an agreement with you if you don't trust me. We will divorce after two years and I will not be in touch ever again,"

Clark promised and added to ease her suspicion. Besides, he was quite sure that two years would be enough for him to get rid of Rufus.

"Then, my photos..." she faltered.

This was what worried her the most.

"I will give you the source file after two years,"

Clark said simply. He was much more serious now.

Amanda studied Clark's face carefully with fearful eyes. She inspected every crease on his skin to find a hint of a lie.

Clark merely smiled. He then took out a document. This was something he already prepared before coming as he was sure that Amanda would agree. What else could she do, anyway?

"Just sign it. I have already had a lawyer to look it through."

Amanda picked up the document and started to read. All the things Clark promised to her just now were on it. This made Amanda's heart stir.
