Chapter 147 – A Sacrificial Lamb’s Unexpected Marriage

Filed To Story: A Sacrificial Lambs Unexpected Marriage

Deacon took in a deep breathe.

“What room is she in?”

In the hotel room, Marvin hugged Oriana quitely.

The door was kicked open. Marvin raised his eyes and suddenly met Deacon’s narrow and deep eyes. Deacon stood by the door, his falcon–like gaze swept around the room. Oriana hugged Marvin with both hands, and Marvin hugged her shoulders.

Deacon let out a scoff and stepped forward. He grabbed onto Oriana’s arm and pulled her over.

Oriana’s body slammed into Deacon’s firm chest. The pain caused her to let out a frown. When she looked up, she saw Deacon’s gloomy face, her consciousness hastily returned.

“Mr. Armstead…”

Deacon lowered his eyes and looked at her. His thin lips drew a sarcastic arc.

“What? Is it surprising to see me? Did I disturb you?”

Oriana looked at Deacon and then at Marvin. Only then did she realize that she was holding onto the wrong person.

“Mr. Armstead, I…” She tried saying, but her words had failed her.

“Where’s your mask? Deacon interrupted her.

Oriana touched her face with her hands. The mask on her face was gone. Marvin had taken it off.

Oriana was speechless and confused all at once.

“Why don’t you say something? I’m awaiting your explanation.”

Oriana looked at him. Deacon’s gaze was poring and cold. It fell sharply on her face, as if he wanted to see through her.

However, there as no superfluous expression on his face. Oriana knew that Deacon’s wrath was the most terrifying sight to behold.

Marvin’s voice sounded.

“Don’t make it difficult to her. I can explain everything that you need to know.”

“Oh, okay. I kinda forgot that you were still here, my bad.” Deacon dragged Oriana into the bathroom and locked her inside.

Oriana quickly tapped on the door.

“Why are you locking me here. Mr. Armstead, let me out! I can explain everything to you.”

Deacon ignored Oriana. He stepped forward and grabbed Marvin on the collar.

“I’m giving you a chance to speak.”

“To be honest, it’s just as you saw.”

Deacon let out a low laugh

“Why should I believe your words?”

Marvin was silent for a moment, then he said,

“Oriana’s blood is very special.

“Her mother had treated her with lots of medicinal herbs while she was alive. I know that.” Deacon chipped in.

Marvin nodded understandingly.

“Then, do you know the mandala flower? The mandala flower is rumoured to be the realm between life and death. It is extremely poisonous. And it’s very hard to be found.”

“Say something useful!” Deacon interrupted impatiently.

“Oriana wants to use the mandala to heal you. She was trying out the medicine.” Marvin added.

Deacon’s pupil shrank. He tightened his grip on Marvin’s collar and pressed him against the wall.

“What the fuck are you saying?” He questioned unbelievably.

“Oriana was trying out the medicine. The first time she tried it out was the night that you had beaten me in the pharmacy. She passed out in my arms. This is her second time. The poison made her lose her sense of reasoning, so she mistook me for you.” Marvin explained and swallowed hard.

Deacon’s heart was clenched fiercely, and suddenly, his breathing became painful.

Marvin dipped his right hand into his pocket and brought out a piece of paper. On it was the equation that Oriana had written down.

“Deacon, Oriana is risking her own life for you. She doesn’t mind losing her life just to save you!”

Deacon let go of Marvin and took some steps backwards. Initially, a voice was telling him that Oriana was refining medicines, but he had ignored it.

He didn’t know that she had actually tried the mandala flower’s poison!

Was she crazy?

“Deacon, I can guarantee you that Oriana can only have that poison in her system for one last time. If she tries it more than thrice, then her life will certainly come to an abrupt end. So please Deacon, before she considers carrying out the third test, push her away from your life. Only then will she reason with her brain and not her heart. Push her away from you, so that she can stay alive.” Marvin pleaded with a straight face.

Oriana was locked in the bathroom the entire time. She kept knocking on the door, but no one opened it. She wondered what the two men were doing to each other.

Although Oriana was now conscious, her face was still pale. Oriana’s body swayed and she was about to fall

She swiftly held onto the washstand with her hands. She shut her eyes and opened them again.

The door of the bathroom was opened and Deacon walked in.

Oriana looked behind her and there was a handsome tall figure standing against the light.

Deacon walked in. He took off his black coat and draped it over her shoulders.

He carried her all the way out of the hotel and into the passenger’s seat of his Rolls–Royce phantom.

Deacon got into the driver’s seat. He turned on the ignition and the car galloped down the road smoothly. The car was filled with silence, as neither of them uttered a word.

Deacon pressed his hand on the steering wheel. He focused his gaze on the road and said indifferently.

“You’re aware that Marvin likes you, right?

The Sulisvante Bride Bound by My Billionaire Hustl

Oriana didn’t know why he suddenly brought up the topic. But slie was not a child, it was quite obvious that Marvin liked her.

Oriana shook her head and denied,

“No, I don’t know.”

Deacon hastily interrupted her.

“Then let me inform you now. Marvin likes you. He had fallen in love with you at first sight in Imperial city two years ago. He came to LA in search of you. He’s been here for over a year. So now you know.”

Oriana turned to look at him, and she defended,

“Why are telling me this? I don’t like him!”

Deacon looked ahead of him. He focused on the road, and didn’t utter another word.

They both arrived at the Red Villa and entered into the bedroom.

Deacon whispered,

“Go and take a shower first.”

“Mr. Armstead, I…”

“Go have a shower first, then once you’re done, you say whatsoever you wanna say.” Deacon interrupted her hastily.

His attitude was domineering and tyrannic. Oriana grabbed her pyjamas and walked into the bathroom. She took a shower as quickly as possible and then walked out.

Deacon stood beside the window smoking. He was clothed in a black shirt and trousers. He was handsome and matured. Only his fine jawline and knitted eyebrows could be seen, as half of his face was blurred by the smoke.

Oriana moved closer to him and hugged him from behind.

“Mr. Armstead, nothing happened between Marvin and I. I really can explain…”

“Are you tired?” Deacon’s cold voice questioned.

“Huh?”

Deacon maintained his position and didn’t turn around.

“I’m asking you, are you tired of being with me? I can lose my temper at any moment, I’m always sick. You really should be tired of all these, right?”

Oriana shook her head.

“No, I’m not tired at all.”

“Oh, so you ain’t tired of the constant fights and argument? But I’m tired of everything. Oriana, let’s get a divorce.”

The words exploded in Oriana’s ears. She unwrapped her hands from his waist and stood. dumbfoundedly.

Deacon turned around, his narrow and deep eyes fell on her face.

“I’m not kidding this time, let’s get divorce. I’ll have the lawyer prepare the divorce papers. As for the properties, you’ll have a fair share. You can sign the divorce papers immediately it’s been delivered to you, and then we’re divorced.”

Oriana looked at his handsome face in a daze. It took Oriana some seconds to realize that he was serious and really wanted a divorce,

“Why? Why…. Why should we get a divorce?” Oriana stuttered. She couldn’t understand why he needed a divorce. So she wanted him to explain it to her.

Deacon let out a scoff.

“Why should we get a divorce? Don’t you know why? Ever since I got married to you, I’m always being called to come and catch you cheating. Like, that has become my daily routine. And all you keep saying is that nothing happened between you and Marvin! He even took off your mask today, and still claim that nothing happened! And you expect me to believe that?”

“Enough!” Oriana’s hands were clenched into a fist, and her watery eyes glared at him.
