Filed to story: A Sacrificial Lambs Unexpected Marriage
Annabelle did not know why she had such a dream.
Annabelle remembered the wedding night between her and Alpha more than thirty years ago.
On that wedding night, he caught her and Marcus together, and had threatened Marcus, before leaving with her.
As soon as she entered the room, he followed and closed the door behind her. Then, he looked at her in a condescending manner and said, “Go in and wash yourself clean.”
But she had stood still.
He had walked over and dragged her into the bathroom. He turned on the shower, and the cold water from the shower quickly poured down from the top of her head.
She struggled for a while. Then, he pushed her against the wall and started to tear her clothes.
At that time, she was still very young, and her strength was not as good as his. She wasn’t only stripped of her clothes, but also of her dignity.
He had taken her forcefully.
Annabelle had a feeling that the dream was too real. In the dream, he was domineering and cruel.
But also in the dream, she was still the same as before. She couldn’t break free from his imprisonment and cage.
Annabelle hadn’t thought about him for all these years. She thought she had forgotten about him, but now, she realized that Alpha had left his mark on her body and soul, which could not be washed away.
That was why when he held her in Liam’s palace a while back, she felt really uncomfortable.
Annabelle felt a little frustrated when she thought that she had such a dream. She turned to look at Oriana, “It’s just a nightmare, Oriana, I haven’t been sleeping very well recently.”
Oriana wanted asking her more, but her heart pounded wildly. “Alright, aunt, come over here, I’ll check your pulse.”
Annabelle walked over and stretched her hand to Oriana.
Oriana checked her pulse, and soon she said, “Aunty Annabelle, your pulse is a little weak. Have you been too tired recently?”
“No,”
Annabelle shook her head. “I haven’t been out recently. I’m just sitting here drawing designs.”
Annabelle felt like her dream was probably too real.
Oriana even said that her pulse was weak and she was probably tired. Annabelle herself did not understand how.
“Aunty Annabelle, your pulse is weak. I’ll give you an injection and prescribe a drug for you to take. You’ll be fine soon.”
“Okay, thank you Oriana.”
Oriana gave Annabelle an injection, and then she left. Annabelle packed up her drawing materials. At this moment, her phone rang out.
Annabelle answered the phone, and placed it beside her ear. Suddenly, a familiar voice said, “Sister, you’re finally back.”
It was Lily, whom she hadn’t seen for many years.
Lily, who was far away in Imperial, quickly received the news of Annabelle’s arrival. She knew that
Annabelle was back, so she decided to call her.
“Is there a reason why you called?”
Annabelle replied indifferently.
“Actually, since you’ve returned, you should find a time to get the divorce certificate with Alpha as soon as possible. Or could it be that my little sister still wants to get back together with Alpha?”
“Alpha personally killed your daughter. Hee was unwilling to save his daughter by caesarean section. It seems that your daughter was thrown into the trash by Alpha’s orders, How pitiful! Can you still get back with Alpha?”
Annabelle knew that Lily was deliberately provoking her, and she would not be fooled, but after so many years, thinking of her daughter, her heart still hurt.
“I’m going to divorce Alpha. Don’t call me again,”
Annabelle ended the call.
After hanging up, Annabelle was lost in thought for a while, then she dug up Alpha’s phone number and dialed it.
The phone on the other end rang once and was picked up without any hassle. Alpha’s unique and low voice slowly passed over, “Hello.”
“It’s me. Do you have time tomorrow? Let’s go get the divorce certificate.”
Alpha was silent.
Annabelle tugged at her phone. In the past, she was most afraid of when he was silent, because every time he was silent, he would lose his temper and it was quite dangerous.
After a while, Alpha said, “Okay, I have time tomorrow.”
Annabelle loosened her grip on her phone. “Well, then we’ll meet outside the Civil Affairs Bureau by eight in the morning.”
“I’ll pick you up,”
Alpha offered.
“No need…”
“I just informed you, I didn’t ask for your opinion.”
Alpha added and immediately ended the call. Annabelle slowly retreated her phone, she stared at her phone for a while, and then she scoffed.
The next morning.
Oriana and Annabelle had breakfast together in the dining room. “Aunty Annabelle, what are your plans for today?”
“I’m going to apply for a divorce certificate with Alpha today,”
Annabelle replied.
Oriana paused. Annabelle’s phone suddenly rang out, and it was a call from Alpha.
Annabelle answered the call, and Alpha’s low and magnetic voice quickly passed over,, “Come out, I’m outside.”
He had already come to pick her up.
Annabelle hung up, she picked up her bag, and said goodbye to Oriana, “Oriana, I’ll leave now.”
“Aunty Annabelle, do you want me to accompany you?”
Oriana found it strange that Alpha would let Annabelle go after so many years.
“No need, Oriana. I’ll go ahead,”
Annabelle turned around and walked away.
Oriana was still worried. She took out her phone and dialed Deacon’s number.
Deacon was in the villa’s dining room. He was wearing a white shirt and black trousers. The bright morning sun was shining through the windows on his handsome facial features.
Deacon’s phone rang out, and it was a call from Oriana.
Deacon immediately raised his thin lips, and his deep narrow eyes overflowed with a touch of joy and love. He pressed the answer button, “Hello,”
he said.
“Mr. Armstead, good morning!”
Oriana’s sweet voice sounded.
“Morning, why are you so actively calling me today?”
Deacon said, as he implied that he was flattered to receive her call early in the morning.
“Mr. Armstead, your parents have an appointment with the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce today. Aunt Annabelle has already gotten into your father’s car.”
Deacon’s handsome eyebrows sank, and he was silent for a few seconds.
“Mr. Armstead, I don’t think today is a good day. This divorce is probably impossible. I’m a little worried. Do you want to go over?”
Deacon pursed his lips, and then said, “Okay, I’ll drive to pick you up later.”
“Alright, thanks, Oriana ended the call.
Deacon put down his phone. At this moment, he heard footsteps from upstairs and the girl was descending the stairs.
The girl’s clothes had been wet yesterday. Now, she was wearing a white dress that Deacon had prepared for her. She was delicate and beautiful, like a fragile butterfly, which made people crave to protect her.
The girl walked down and came to the dinning room. Her big watery eyes stared at Deacon, and her two small hands gently grasped the hem of her skirt, “Sir, thank you for saving me last night.”
The girl’s voice was soft and tender.
Deacon sat on the dining chair and did not move. He raised his narrow eyes and looked at the girl. “What’s your name?”
he asked.
“My name is Naomi, Naomi Scott.”
“Where did that necklace around your neck come from?”
Naomi quickly raised her hand and tightly grasped the necklace around her neck, “This…this was given to me by a big brother…”
