A Graduation Gift

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
