Posted on January 11, 2024January 11, 2024 by admin

Filed To Story: A Sacrificial Lambs Unexpected Marriage

Oriana was so sad that she didn’t want to go through the drawer anymore. But at the very end of the drawer was the jade pendant that she had lost.

Old Mr. Hendrix was buried in the tomb. It was raining lightly today. Oriana was dressed in black and held a black umbrella.

Suddenly, a sound of footsteps approached behind her. Someone offered her a bunch of white flowers. Oriana looked up and saw that it was Derrick Domino, her once ex-fiance.

Oriana hadn’t seen Derrick Domino for a while now. In fact, it seemed to her that Derrick Domino hadn’t been in Los Angeles in recent years, and had only shown up after she returned to Los Angeles. Derrick stood in the rain, and he held a black umbrella and stood beside her.

“Oriana, you did it. What happened eleven years ago has finally come to a conclusive end.” Oriana wore a black gloves, and her pure black hair was tied in a ponytail. Without looking at Derrick, she said,

“I still have a question. Eleven years ago, why did you stand up and testify against me? Why did you claim that you saw me pushing down grandpa? You and Pamela and others are in the same category. But you know what? I had sent someone to investigate you, but I don’t understand why he didn’t find any dirt on you.”

Derrick Domino pursed his lips and said,

“Oriana, I’m just following orders.”

“Go ahead and listen to those orders, it’ll land you where you never expected.”

Derrick Domino shook his head at Oriana’s ignorance.

“I’m following your mother’s orders, Oriana.”

Oriana let a frown.

“I don’t understand.” She muttered as she turned to look at him.

“You mum had sent a message to me before the incident. She said that if she had any accidents or something sinister happens to her, that I should cut off all ties between you and make you leave Lost Angeles immediately. So I went with the flow and had helped Monica and the others. Actually, I’m not interested in the Hendrix’s family affairs. I only obey your mother.”

Oriana was mesmerized. She had never envisioned the truth to be this way.

She had thought that everything was clear, but now it was even more confusing.

Oriana realized that she had never understood her mother, or even the handsome Derrick Domino before her.

“Oriana, I’ll take Aunt Rebecca and await you at Imperial city.” Derrick Domino added and then turned around and left.

Derrick Domino was awaiting her at Imperial city. It was Imperial city again.

It seemed that alot of people were awaiting her arrival at Imperial.

Oriana had always felt that there was something beckoning to her at the Imperial, but with Derrick Domino’s last sentence, the feeling of going to Imperial intensified.

Oriana turned her head and looked at Derrick Domino’s back. He looked extremely handsome in the black outfit that he wore. The rain fell on his umbrella, and not even a single drop splashed on him.

Oriana knew that her mother liked Derrick very much. Back then, Joyce would hold her with one hand, and Derrick with the other. Derrick was also raised by Joyce.

Oriana was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn’t seem to notice that there was a luxurious Rolls-Royce Phantom parked quitely in front of the Cemetery.

Deacon had arrived.

Deacon sat in the back seat of the car. He had already been discharged from the hospital. Today, he was clothed in a white shirt and tie, a buisness vest, and a black suit. He had just stepped out from a high-level company’s meeting. His outfit exuded elegance and maturity.

Deacon looked at Oriana through the window. When he saw Oriana looking at Derrick Domino’s back, frown appeared on his face.

Secretary Andrew who was in the driver’s seat stared at Deacon through the rearview mirror. He could guess that his CEO was obviously not happy seeing Oriana with Derrick Domino.

Recently, Deacon hadn’t lost his temperament, but he had become extremely quiet and emotionless.

At this moment, another handsome and tall figure appeared. It was Marvin, and he held a black umbrella and a bouquet.

Andrew let out a scoff and looked at Deacon through the rearview mirror.

“CEO, your wife really is a hot cake. She just got divorced and there are already suitors hovering around her.”

Deacon had arrived quite early and had been watching her from the car. He knew that she would be very sad, but neither could he approach or comfort her.

Deacon raised his head and glanced at Andrew. Andrew felt a cold chill flowing across his body. Andrew bowed his head and let out a cough.

“Let’s go back.” There was no way Deacon could spend another second there. He feared that he would not be able to control himself, hence he asked Andrew to drive him away from the cemetery.

“Yes, CEO.” Andrew responded and drove the luxurious car away.

Marvin squatted and placed the flower in his hand on the tombstone, then he stood up and looked at

Oriana.

“Oriana, what are your plans? I’ll be leaving here in two days?”

“Are you leaving?” Oriana inquired, her eyes glued to him.

“Well, the one year which I had has already elapsed. Moreover, my mother has been urging me to return home. Oriana, come with me, please.”

Deacon had once told Oriana that Marvin had come to Los Angeles in search of her. Oriana lowered her head and didn’t respond for some seconds. After a while, she lifted up her head and looked at Marvin again.

“I’ll tidy up things here, and I’ll go to Imperial soon.”

“Really?” Marvin’s cold black eyes overflowed with joy.

“However, I’m still going alone, so Academician Armstead, do have a safe journey.”

Marvin pursed his lips and smiled softly.

“Alright, Oriana, looking forward to seeing you in Imperial.”…

The Red Villa.

Deacon returned to the bedroom. He took off his black suit and threw it on the sofa. Then he threw himself into the soft bed and closed his eyes tiredly.

Deacon’s movements were decadent and lazy, and he displayed a wild masculinity.

He rested his head on the snow-white pillow. The pillow belonged to Oriana, and he could still scent the sweet fragrance left by her body,

Deacon felt as if he hadn’t seen Oriana for months, and his mind was filled with Oriana’s delicate appearance.

Deacon’s fingers touched the sheets, and suddenly, Deacon felt a slippery cloth on the bed. Oriana didn’t take anything away, including the silky nightdress that she last wore.

The nightdress was as slippery as her soft skin. Deacon’s closed his eyes and held onto the nightdress with his hands,

His mind reminiscing about the night that she had wore the nightdress. Oriana had hugged him tightly. and had boldly sat on his waist.

It felt unreal to Deacon, her actions were like a dream.

on his

At this moment, Deacon felt a small hand reaching out and gently caressing the buisness vest of body. Then, the hand slipped down and landed on the belt which was tied around his waist. Deacon’s eyes suddenly opened and he clasped the little hand. It was not a dream, someone had really entered his room.

There was an unfamiliar girl standing beside the bed. She appeared to be in her early twenties. She had an innocent appearance and her dark eyes were very similar to Oriana’s.

Deacon hastily threw her hand away and swiftly stood up. Deacon’s thin lips pursed into a arc.

“Do you understand the rules? Who let you in? Deacon berated.

A little maid had dared to enter her master’s room. The Red Villa had never had such a maid before.

The little maid’s face turned pale, and her heart thumped heavily in fright.

“Young master, i…”

The door of Deacon’s bedroom was pushed open and Mrs. Samantha walked in. “Deacon, don’t make it difficult for her. It was I who let her in.”
