Filed To Story: A Sacrificial Lambs Unexpected Marriage

Oriana’s face was pale, and her eyes were reddened from crying. Notwithstanding, her eyes were cold, revealing a bit of sternness.

“Yes, I did hit you, Pamela. I slapped you because you’re cheap! Deacon is my man, but you dare to sleep with him. Since you’re only but a cheap side chick now, be ready to be beaten at any time. And be careful with me from now.” Oriana warned ruthlessly.

Pamela’s face flushed in embarrassment. Oriana’s words had obviously left her humiliated.

“Oriana, we are sisters after all…

Before Pamela could complete her sentence, Oriana slapped her again.

This time, Pamela was stunned.

“You and who are sisters? If I vividly remember, grandpa never welcomed you to the Hendrix family, he never welcomed your mother and you into Hendrix family, that’s why he never bothered to introduce you all to the rest of the Hendrix descendants! “Oriana quickly rebuked her.

Oriana’s words left everyone shocked. They were all shocked that Oriana still had the courage to speak. Patrick was also shocked. Although he couldn’t help but applaud Oriana for standing up for herself. Pamela who was slapped twice glared at Oriana. But her gaze quickly fell on Deacon’s face, although he didn’t utter a word, he stood behind Oriana protectively.

more glance. She turned to look at Oriana retracted her gaze. She didn’t bother to spare Pamela any Deacon who was behind her, then she extended her small hand and slowly held his big hand.

“Mr. Armstead, let’s go home.”

Although Oriana’s aura was domineering, Deacon could still feel her fingers trembled.

Deacon pursed his lips and allowed her lead him home.

The Red Villa.

Deacon and Oriana had returned to the bedroom. Deacon stood by the balcony, and the cold wind blew his black shirt. He smoked from the cigarette which was stuck between his fingers, and then he let out a puff.

Oriana focused her attention on Deacon. The lights in the room were turned off, and they couldn’t see each other clearly. Oriana’s faint voice questioned,

“You did it with Pamela, right?”

Deacon did not look back. After a while, he replied indifferently,

“Why ask?”

Oriana shuddered,

“I asked because I want to know where I went wrong. You were not like this before. Could it be because Pamela saved you, hence the reason you can’t forget her?”

Deacon tucked one hand into his trousers pocket, and turned to look at her. He could see her pale face through the layer of smoke.

“This is the end of this issue. Find something else to do other than boring me.”

Oriana lowered her head and nodded.

“Oh, I see. I’ll go have a shower.”

Oriana walked into the shower and locked the door.

Her body slid down against the wall, and then she covered her face with her hands.

She couldn’t dispel the sudden pain and grief in her heart, so she allowed herself cry.

Deacon smoked a few more cigarettes. He frowned as he looked at the expensive watch on his wrist. Half an hour had passed and she still hadn’t stepped out.

Throwing the cigarette butt into the ashtray, Deacon walked over to the bathroom and opened it from outside.

Deacon looked around and his eyes finally landed on the curled up figure in the corner. Oriana was sitting on the tiled ground, and her jet-black hair was messy. Her face was buried in her knees as she cried.

Oriana cried quitely, but extremely fiercely. Her shoulders were shaking, and she was out of breathe. Deacon’s heart ached intensely. Oriana had hid in the bathroom and cried secretly. Deacon walked over and slowly reached out, wanting to touch her head. But his fingers still froze mid-air.

After standing there for a while, he heard himself saying.

“Crying for so long isn’t good for you. There isn’t any need to cry.”

Oriana stopped crying and then she slowly raised her face. Instead of looking at him, she rested her small chin on her slender arm and stared at the sank in a daze.

“As you wish, we divorce.” Oriana sniffed and added,

“Let’s get a divorce.”

Deacon’s fingers curled in pain.

Oriana still maintained her posture and still sat on the ground.

“Regarding the divorce agreement, I’ll leave the house and I also don’t want any money from you. You’re right when you said that I didn’t help you earn a cent, so, I’ll return all your money and valuables in my possession to you.”

Oriana stood up slowly. Then she reached out and took off the OneLove necklace on her neck.

The dazzling diamond ring shone in the dim yellow light. She spread out her small hand and took off the diamond ring, then she handed the necklace and diamond ring to him.

Deacon’s eyes darkened, and a visible pain swiftly appeared.

“Just throw it into the trash can.” He replied.

“Oh.” Oriana responded, then she raised her hand and threw the necklace and diamond ring into the trash can beside her.

Deacon felt his throat become dry.

“You bought everything here. I don’t want any of it. Tomorrow morning at nine o’clock, we should meet at the Civil Affairs Bureau to sign and finalize the divorce. Also, I’ll not spare Monica and Pamela. If you want to protect them, that’s left to you.” Once Oriana was done speaking, she stood up and walked out of the room.

Deacon went numb. He heard Oriana’s footsteps down the hallway, and after a while, there wasn’t any more sound forthcoming.

Oriana was gone.

After being hurt extremely by him, she finally abandoned him and walked away.

Deacon’s fingers trembled. He had won. He had finally pushed the girl that he loved the most away. And had finally lost her.

Deacon slowly lowered himself and picked up the OneLove necklace and diamond ring from the trash. can. The necklace still had Oriana’s fragrance on it.

Deacon’s eyes were reddened as he pulled out the necklace and diamond ring. He had never told anyone that the necklace and ring was given to him by his mother.

It was his mother, Annabelle, who created the classic OneLove brand, but she had only designed one ring in her entire life, and that was the one in his palm.

His mother had told him that the ring should be for the girl that he loved the most.

However, Deacon had lost the girl that he loved.

Deacon’s eyes became extremely heavy. Suddenly, he grabbed the necklace and ring and hurriedly ran out of the room.

Deacon ran to the street. His scarlet eyes searched around, looking for the slender figure that he had fallen in love with.

Soon, he found her. Oriana was standing by the side of the road and had already flagged down a taxi. She really didn’t bring anything to the Red Villa, and she also left empty-handed.

Oriana didn’t want to be associated with Deacon anymore, let alone the things that he bought.

The back dour of the car opened, and Oriana got into the car, and the taxi sped away.

“Oriana.” Deacon called out and ran after the taxi.

He wanted the car to stop. He didn’t want her to leave. He had alot of things to say to her. He wa telling her that he never wanted her to leave, and also confessed his love to her.

Deacon really couldn’t fathom how he got so obsessed with her. He thought that he would be able to bear it when she leaves, since he had been subjected to pain and loneliness from childhood.

But Oriana was like a shiny star who had appeared at the darkest moment of his life. After she came into his life, he finally had a reason to live each day.

Deacon’s footsteps slowly stopped, his tall body swayed, and with a bang, he fell roughly to the ground.

Lot of passerby quickly gathered around Deacon.

“What’s the matter with you, sir? Call an ambulance!”

“Oh my Go d, he’s bleeding!”

The passerbys exclaimed as they stared terrifyingly at Deacon’s black trousers which dripped of blood. It seemed that Deacon was hurt on his lower region.

When Deacon fell to the ground, his paranaid eyes kept looking in the direction of the car. After some seconds, the cab slowly disappeared from his sight.

Oriana was really gone!

“Oriana.” Deacon muttered h oa rsely. He closed his eyes as hot tears rolled down his cheeks.

When Deacon’s eyes fluttered open again, he was already in the hospital. The entire ward scented of disinfectant.

“Deacon, you’re awake!” Old Mrs. Samantha’s nostalgic voice sounded.

Deacon turned his head and saw his grandma who stood beside the bed. The butler, Mr. Henry, and Deacon’s secretary. Andrew, were present as well. Their faces were solemn.

Mrs. Samantha had cried for hours and her eyes had reddened.

Grandma.” Deacon called out and made to move, but the wounds on his body couldn’t make him move any further, for the pains were unbearable.

The old lady quickly stopped him.

“Deacon, don’t move, okay? The doctor said that the wound down there is extremely deep. Although the operation has been carried out, your sex life will still be affected.”

precious

Tears rolled down from Mrs. Samantha eyes as she told Deacon of the sad news. Deacon was her grandson. And she was yet to be given a great-grandson by him. Now that his lower body was badly injured. It made the old lady really saddened.

Deacon was not surprised by the information. The medicine that Pamela had sprayed was way too strong, and it contained some psychedelic ingredients.

Deacon had endured the pains with all his might.

As for the blood on the the bedsheet, it was Pamela who had deliberately injured herself.

“Deacon, what happened? How could you be so cruel to yourself? This is about your sex life. Your future. How will you explain this to Oriana? Mrs. Samantha probed.

Deacon held onto Mrs. Samantha’s hand and muttered calmly,

Grandma, I’m sorry, but Oriana and I are divorced.”

Deacon knew that Mrs. Samantha was bound to find out sooner or later, so he took the initiative to confess to her.

What?” Mrs. Samantha stiffened.

*Grandma, it’s really difficult for me to continue keeping her by my side. With her far away, I won’t have to hurt her anymore. But my heart still belongs to her alone. I never betrayed her, and I loved her wholeheartedly. So please grandma, don’t go in search of her, let her go, please.”
