Chapter 2 The car accident

The heat of the sun dazzled Amy. She rushed out of the building too fast to avoid the on-coming car. She crashed into the front corner and collapsed to the ground.

"What happened?" A man’s cool and magnetic voice came from the backseat of the car.

"I believe someone crashed into our car. Let me go check," the driver said, not having fully seen what happened.

The man sat in silence as the driver opened the car door and went to see.

Amy was lying on the ground. She forgot the dizziness and anger suffocating her heart, only feeling the pain in her backside.

"Madam, are you OK?" the driver asked nervously as Amy grimaced in pain.

She said nothing and struggled to stand. When she couldn’t quite reach the car to pull herself up, the driver was quite thoughtful and reached down to help her.

Once Amy was leaning against the car, she reflected on how unlucky she was in the past twelve hours. She had unknowingly slept with a strange man and her husband caught her, well, her ex-husband blackmailed her into divorce on their first day of marriage. And, now, a car hit her. She couldn’t help but vent her anger by kicking the car as hard as she could.

Wow, she felt so much better after kicking the car. So she decided to kick again. But before she could, the car window was slidden down and a handsome face was staring at her. Handsome could never fully depict how stunning he looked.

She believed Matt was the most dashing man she had seen in her life. But not anymore. Now that she saw the man in the car, she knew Matt couldn’t compete with him.

"The kicking shows she’s fine. Give her some money and ask her to leave."

The handsome man’s bitter words awakened Amy’s anger again, and she regretted not to kick the car again.

"You think you’re really something, don’t you? No matter how rich you are and how luxurious your car is, you can’t control me with your money," Amy said while shouting and pointing at the man, not caring how she looked.

But the man just ignored her and slid up the window.

"Madam, please take the money and leave us alone. My boss has urgent business to attend to. Please, go to the hospital with the money to make sure you’re okay." The driver took out a thick stack of money and handed it to Amy.

She snatched the money from the driver and before he could react, she opened the car door and threw all money at that handsome man before running away.

Richard Carter sat in shock as money fluttered around him. He assumed Amy opened the door to thank him, but she spited him instead.

"Sir... are… are you OK?" the driver asked, his horror causing him to stutter.

Richard wiped the money off his face and clothes at ease and turned to his driver, "Pick up the money."

Richard stared at Amy running off and couldn’t help but smile.

She was quite interesting. It seemed she didn't recognize him. Or did she forget what happened last night? He entered the wrong room and found himself attracted to her. So they enjoyed the steamy night, right?

While Amy didn’t look back. She ran as fast as she could in her torn wedding dress and with the pain she was in. The car looked so luxurious and the man was obviously rich. Now, she was bankrupt and couldn't afford to offend the rich. She was too impulsive. But if the man tried to offer her the money again, she wouldn’t hesitate to throw his money at him again.

Afraid the man would chase her for making trouble, she continued running although she didn’t know nowhere to go. At this moment, she felt someone patted her on her shoulder and she screamed in terror.
