Posted on December 13, 2023December 13, 2023 by admin

Filed To Story: A Sacrificial Lambs Unexpected Marriage

Bounty looked at Oriana in a complicated way. She had a lot of things in her mind to say. wondered if Oriana knew about Deacon’s sickness.

Deacon gaze fell on Marvin.

“Marvin, I haven’t introduced you yet to Oriana, my wife and your sister-in-law.”

Deacon’s few words were overbearing and powerful.

She

Marvin stood coldly and didn’t say nothing. His black eyes fell on Deacon’s hand, which was still clasp around Oriana’s waist.

Oriana’s waist was quite thin, and it was easy for Deacon to grab her. Marvin felt that Deacon could break her soft waist without an effort.

Marvin’s black eyes sank a little as he looked at Deacon. Bounty stared at Oriana nostalgically.

Oriana was also sensitive to the change in everyone’s expression. Even the atmosphere had become stiffened. She quitely pulled Deacon’s sleeve and muttered,

“Mr. Armstead, it’s getting late. Let’s go home.”

A faint smile appeared on Deacon’s face.

“Aunt, Marvin, Oriana and I will go ahead. If you both have time, I’ll treat you guys to dinner tomorrow.”

Once Deacon was done speaking, he wrapped his hands around Oriana’s waist and headed for the door.

Before exiting the hall, Oriana looked back and waved to Bounty and Marvin.

Deacon grabbed her and in no time, they had both disappeared from view.

Bounty was still glued in awe. She turned to look at Marvin who stood beside her.

“Marvin, did you know that Oriana was married to Deacon?”

Marvin nodded positively,

“Yes.”

“Really? OMG! I really do like Oriana. I wanted introducing you both to each other. But I hadn’t expected her to already have been married to Deacon. I can’t believe that Deacon hid his marriage perfectly.” Bounty mumbled with a bit of frustration.

“Aunt, I’ll be heading home.” Marvin replied calmly.

Bounty quickly pulled Marvin back.

“Marvin, does Oriana knows about Deacon’s physical condition? Does she understands everything about Deacon? Also, Marvin, tell me the truth, do you like Oriana?”

Marvin didn’t say a word, but he withdrew his arm and made to leave.

“Marvin.” Bounty called from behind.” Although I’m not aware of what happened between Oriana and Deacon, but I’m confident that they’re not compatible. If you like Oriana, then grab her to yourself.” Bounty added.

Hearing this, Marvin suddenly halted. He turned to look at Bounty.

Bounty nodded affirmatively.

“I’m certain that Oriana hadn’t been touched by Deacon yet. She’s still a clean girl!”

Deacon was driving his Rolls-Royce Phantom, and he didn’t utter a word throughout the journey.

Oriana already concluded that he was angry. She turned her face and looked at him.

“Mr. Armstead, are you angry?” Oriana asked in a bid to wave off the air of awkwardness and possibly initiate a conversation.

Deacon pressed his hand on the steering and responded without squinting,

“Why then are you asking?”

“Mr. Armstead, I really can explain this matter. I didn’t know that the principal of Holy Nile academy is your aunt, and I also didn’t know that Marvin is your brother. It was just a coincidence.”

Deacon glanced at her and inquired,

“Is Marvin your colleague?”

Deacon wasn’t aware that Marvin was in LA, and he wasn’t also aware that Marvin had entered the Ivory Council and became colleagues with Oriana. Reasons being that Marvin was an academician in Canada, the youngest at such.

Oriana nodded honestly,

“Yes, I met him at Ivory Council.”

“Are you both familiar with each other?”

“I’m not familiar with him, I just found out his name a while ago…

“Anything else?” Deacon questioned with his eyes glued to the road.

“What do you wanna hear? Okay fine, Marvin had helped me a few times.” Oriana replied tiredly.

Before Oriana could complete her sentence, Deacon let out a low and hoarse laughter. The Marvin that he knew wasn’t someone who liked to meddle in other people’s affair. He was cold and distant. If they weren’t familiar with each other, why then did he help her?

Deacon slammed the steering wheel with his big hand and swerved. The car accelerated like an arrow.

Oriana felt like she was about to be flown out of the car. She gasped as her face became pale with fright.

“Mr. Armstead, please drive slowly.” Oriana beckoned.

Deacon’s handsome face was cold. He didn’t slow down, but had stepped on the accelerator, increasing the speed of the car.

Oriana was dizzy and a feeling of nauseating suddenly clouded her.

“Mr. Armstead, if you don’t slow down, I’ll be a little upset. Let me also ask you, Bounty is your aunt, right? Did you send Pamela to Holy Nile through your aunt’s connection? Yea, you did send Pamela, and you think that’s nothing. But I really don’t understand why

The Substiture Bride: Doted by My Billionaire with Marvin!”

Oriana sat up and turned her face to the window, as she ignored him.

The atmosphere in the car became stiffened, as silence fell. This was a real quarrel for them.

Deacon raised his hand and ripped open the two buttons on his shirt. He was furious that Oriana was conversing with his brother. He didn’t like the feeling at all.

Deacon adjusted his neck and looked at Oriana. Oriana’s face had turned wan. Such a fast speed had left her nervous and uncomfortable. She hugged her dress tightly, as she hoped for the car to slow down.

Deacon’s anger seemed to have been quenched. As a mature and rational man, he was perfectly aware of the dangers of driving so fast and careless.

Deacon licked his lips as he realized how terrifying he was whenever he lost control of himself. Deacon slowed down the car and stopped by the roadside. Oriana quickly opened the front passenger’s door. She found a trash can by the side of the road and vomited into it.

Tonight, Oriana had taken a sip of the red wine. She retched a few times, and spat out all the bitter contents from her oesophagus. Her eyes suddenly turned red.

Deacon stepped out of the car and went to her side. He wanted to raise his hand to caress her back, but his right hand froze in the air. After some seconds, he retracte d it.

He handed her a w hite handkerchief. Oriana had stopped vomiting as she collected the hanky and wiped her mou th. Once she was done, she raised her eyes to look at him.

you “I do understand that you’re angry, but please next time don’t drive so fast, I don’t like driving so fast. You made me so uncomfortable.”

Deacon looked at her reddened eyes. There were even some tears on it.

Deacon suddenly felt like a knife was twisting in his chest.

“It’s seems like I can’t control myself. Treat me as though I’m si c k again.”

Oriana could notice the self-deprecating expression on his eyebrows. She quickly took out a pill from her purse and placed it on his lips.

“Take this medicine, you’ll be alright, okay?”

Deacon turned his head and avoided the pill. Usually, he would obediently take the pill and corporate with Oriana. This was the first time he had refused medication from Oriana.

“Why don’t you wanna have it?” Oriana asked

Deacon reached out and collected the pills from Oriana and threw it into the trash can.

“Hey, what are you doing? How could you throw away the medicine?” Oriana frowned and quickly opened the lid of the trash can. She placed both of her hands into the trash can as she searched for the pill.

Deacon quickly grabbed her waist and pulled her into his arms.

“I should be asking what you’re doing. Why are you sticking your hands into the trash?”

“Deacon, that’s medicine. You shouldn’t throw it away or give up on yourself. Cooperate with my treatment!”

Deacon hugged her soft waist and forced her into the car. His indifferent voice sounded,

“I don’t wanna take drugs tonight.”

The Red Villa.

Deacon and Oriana entered the living room. The old lady who was awaiting Deacon quickly greeted,

“Oh my, welcome you two. Deacon, did you meet the talented girl which your aunt spoke off? Does Marvin likes her?”
