CHAPTER 51 Tess Returned II

  "I didn't say anything to anybody," Amelia replied.

  Tina overheard and wished she could be Amelia's witness.

  "Oh! Are you trying to say I'm lying?" Tess asked furiously and stood.

  "N–" before Amelia could say "No" Tess had given her reverberating slaps and spat on her.

  "You can't keep chasing every responsible and beautiful lady away from my son, Never! I won't take that!" Tess added.

  Amelia held her face tightly and couldn't look up, she didn't know what she had done. There was nothing she could do other than sobbing. In Tess' absence Amelia knew peace, in her presence she was far from peace.

  "How dare you insult that lady?" Tess asked furiously. She stood up and slapped her again, Amelia's vision became blurry, she couldn't talk anymore for her voice had started quavering.

  "Please, stop hurting me," Amelia pleaded. Her hands were shivering like she had been plunged into icebergs.

  Tina wept silently for her but she couldn't do anything.
