Chapter 22

Gerald was instantly silent. Kamila's words were very clear; Gerald thought he had heard something wrong. However, Kamila's words pierced his heart. It was as if time stopped and Gerald's world collapsed. 

"Say it again!" Gerald's jaw hardened. He hoped Kamila's words were just a joke. 

Seeing Gerald's angry expression, Kamila spoke with trembling lips. "I want us to get a divorce." 
Gerald's face turned red. He firmly gripped both of Kamila's cheeks. Although Kamila whimpered, Gerald didn't care. 

"Why are you suddenly asking for a divorce?" Gerald asked with a snarl. 

Kamila couldn't speak because Gerald gripped her. Gerald, let go. However, he moved on to grab Kamila's hair. Gerald could not hold back his emotions, so he was rude to a woman. 

"I never loved you. I'm fed up with this marriage. I'm tired of serving you. I still want to live freely without being burdened with household affairs." Kamila had to lie. All to save the family. If Gerald knew the truth, Kamila wouldn't want her family to have to deal with him. Kamila doesn't know what will happen in the future. For Kamila, the important thing is that her family is safe. It is not impossible; Gerald killed Reynaldi and also his father because of the man's emotions. Let him be the one who has to sacrifice. 

Kamila's words made Gerald very hurt. His hand immediately slapped Kamila. The corner of Kamila's lip was torn because Gerald's slap was so hard.

"How dare you talk like that! Don't you know who you're dealing with?" 

Gerald couldn't help himself. He pushed Kamila's body until she was on her back. Gerald immediately covered Kamila's body and locked her movements. Kamila continued to cry and begged Gerald to let her go. 

"You will never be divorced from me." Gerald kissed Kamila roughly on the lips. Kamila's blood was sucked in. Regardless of Kamila's pain and shortness of breath, Gerald would not stop. 

Both of Kamila's hands could be held by one of Gerald's hands. The other hand removed all of Kamila's clothes. Gerald kissed Kamila's neck, making many red marks there. 

"Shhh, please, Gerald. Don't do that!" 

Gerald pretended not to listen. Now Kamila is not wearing anything. An innocent body that Gerald had seen for the first time. Gerald smiled. Kamila was very beautiful. 

"You are mine. I won't let you go."
 
Gerald kissed every part of Kamila's body. Starting from the chest and stomach to the sensitive area. Kamila's scent drove Gerald crazy. Kamila couldn't help the sigh that came out of her mouth. Kamila felt stupid. Fighting with no strength, she just surrendered. She was not enjoying it at all, but her body seemed to want more. 

Gerald smiled wryly. "You like it too, darling. We are already husband and wife. This is already my right. I'll get you pregnant so that you can't divorce me."

Kamila cried. At first, Gerald patiently waited for Kamila to surrender voluntarily. However, when the word divorce was spoken, Gerald did not want to lose Kamila. He fucked Kamila violently. 

Kamila was helpless. She was screaming in pain as Gerald entered so deeply. The union of their bodies lasted so long that Gerald released his fluids many times. Kamila was limp, but Gerald did not stop finishing his passion. 

Gerald was satisfied. After finishing, Gerald forced Kamila to sit down. Kamila's body felt crushed. 
"If you still want a divorce from me, I'll kill you right now!" Gerald threatened. 

"Just kill me! I'd rather die! Let me no longer live this ruined life!" Kamila shouted. From last night until it was morning, Kamila didn't stop crying. 

Gerald became even angrier. He squeezed both of her shoulders very hard. "You're crazy! Don't make my patience run out!" 

Gerald shouted. She grabbed her hair vigorously. He got up and grabbed Kamila's cell phone on the table. Kamila was quick to hold it, causing a tug of war. 

"Why are you afraid? There must be something on this phone!" Gerald was suspicious.
 
"Give me back my phone." Kamila was afraid because there was still a history of calls with Reynaldi that Kamila had not deleted. Only the messages were gone. Kamila didn't want to be found out; it would be a threat to Reynaldi. Moreover, Gerald was angry.

Gerald's energy was stronger. I managed to get the cell phone. Gerald was surprised to see so many incoming calls from someone named Reynaldi. 

"So it was because of this man that you divorced me. You love him, but not me." Gerald's gaze was very sharp. Then he laughed. 
"Shit!" Gerald shouted. The cell phone slammed to the floor and shattered. Kamila stared in disbelief at the pieces of her phone. 
"How could you do this to me?" Gerald strangled Kamila's neck. 

Kamila resigned herself to dying at this moment. However, Gerald released her. I picked up the scattered clothes and put them on Kamila's body. Kamila looked confused. Noticing Gerald, who was silent. 

Kamila was already fully dressed. Gerald pulled Kamila roughly and pushed her to the floor. Gerald's patience had run out. His heartache was very deep. Gerald kicked Kamila's body many times. Kamila was in pain. 

"You bastard! You secretly cheated on me behind my back!" 

Gerald was wrong. Kamila had never had an affair. However, if being caught cheating made Gerald divorce Kamila, Kamila was willing to confess to something she never did. 

"Once you know, divorce me!" 

Gerald was frustrated by the word divorce. He kicked, slapped, and stomped on Kamila's body many times. It didn't matter that Kamila was bleeding. 

"I will never divorce you! You will live here and taste the hell of the world until you die."

Kamila knew it would not be easy to be free of Gerald. Kamila would have to endure the pain now and then. 

Gerald picked up his cell phone and called someone. "Two people are coming to my room now!" 

Gerald turned off the cell phone and threw it on the bed. He looked at the weak Kamila. Gerald's heart was broken. He had to know that his wife had cheated on him and asked for a divorce when he loved her so much. Because emotions could not be held back, he tortured Kamila cruelly. Gerald actually didn't want to do this. Every act of torture made Gerald feel the pain too. 

"Drag this woman and bring her to the basement now!" Gerald gave orders to the two people. 
“No, Gerald. Please!" Kamila did not want to be held. She no longer had the strength to resist. She was dragged away. Many people witnessed it. Kamila was in a very messy state, with many wounds all over her body. 
"Gerald, what happened?" Griselda was worried about her daughter-in-law. 

There were also Max, Sean, and Alvero's mom. 

However, Gerald didn't answer. He went into the room and locked the door. 

"Gerald! Talk to mom!" Griselda shouted while knocking on the door. 
"Already, Mama. It looks like they have a problem. Let Gerald calm down until he tells us everything." Max explained. 
"But, Papa. Our poor daughter-in-law is like that. It's definitely not a small problem," Griselda said.
"Maybe. Do as I say; if we keep pushing, Gerald will get more and more angry." Max knew how his son would explode like a bomb every time he got angry. 

They finally went back to their respective activities. Meanwhile, in the room, Gerald was screaming. He punched the walls and glass until his hands bled. All the items were shattered and scattered on the floor.
 
"I love you, but you made my heart hurt. This hurts more than any loss." Gerald was wracked with grief. Tears were falling. For the first time, Gerald cried.
