Chapter 30: The Humiliation

Jerry staggered backwards, losing his balance and falling into his seat.

"Amelia, you punched me?" Jerry's widened was laced with a blend of shock and horror as he lifted his right hand to cup his reddened and broken nose.

Amelia ignored the sting coming from her knuckles as she leaned closer to Jerry, her eyes blazing like an overheated furnace.

"The next time you lay your filthy hands on me, I will rip out your rotten balls..." Amelia gestured as though she already had his balls in her clenched fist. "...and shove it down your throat."

Jerry flinched at the cruelty and bluntness in Amelia's tone. He watched her straighten up, a satisfied grin stretching across her lips, as she picked up her bag again.

As he felt something warm trickling down his broken nose, his muscles stiffened. He placed two fingers under his nose and wiped off the warm liquid, his murderous gaze darting between his bloodied fingers and Amelia's deadpan gaze.
