Filed To Story: A Sacrificial Lambs Unexpected Marriage
“Oriana, do you know that the Armstead family in Imperial is the real center of wealth and power? Deacon would one day return to inherit the Armstead family’s huge buisness empire. He is the crown. prince, and you used to be the crown princess!” North half-yelled as the realization struck her hard.
Oriana didn’t deliberately inquire about the Armstead family in Imperial. She could only guess from North’s words how powerful the Armstead family was.
Notwithstanding, no matter how big the buisness empire in Imperial was, Imperial still remained a cold and resentful place to Deacon
Over the years, Deacon had lived in Los Angeles with his grandmother, and he never made mention of his father.
“North, Deacon and I are already divorced. Even if he returns to Imperial to inherit his father’s business, it has absolutely nothing to do with me.” Oriana reminded calmly.
“That’s right, but that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t have taken his money. The money was the most important thing. Oriana, we missed out on billions of dollars.” North pursed her lips angrily.
Oriana was amused by North’s reaction. She reached out and lugged North.
“North, that’s his business, okay? Let’s not talk about him. Let’s talk about you. You want to go to Imperial, won’t Raven have a problem with that?”
When Oriana mentioned Raven, the smile on North’s charming face had disappeared.
“He probably won’t give his consent, but I’ll find a way to get rid of him.” North assured confidently.
“Just inform me if you need help.”
“Oriana, you better take care of yourself. Just don’t worry about me, okay?” North added emphatically.
“Got it, ma’am.” Oriana replied and hugged North tighter.
After North had left Oriana’s room, Oriana laid on the soft bed and couldn’t sleep for a while. Deacon’s handsome face kept appearing in her mind.
When Oriana was busy, she didn’t have time to think about Deacon, but during her free and less busy time, all that Oriana thought about was Deacon. She didn’t know how long it’d take for her to forget about him. Thinking of him made her heart ached. She desperately wanted the hurt in her heart to be wiped away.
It was the first time of Oriana seeing Deacon’s father and stepmother. She wondered if he was going to return back to Imperial and inherit the huge legacy of the Armstead empire.
Oriana was fully aware of the memories that Imperial had left for Deacon. It was all pains and sadness. As a child. Deacon was seen as a monster before other famous children.
Oriana also thought about Deacon’s biological mother, Anabelle. Anabelle didn’t have a chance to own up to her own identify and had lived under her sister’s shadow.
Oriana was a little worried about Deacon’s health. She wondered if his insomnia disorder and ment al illness had improved.
Oriana kept tossing around the bed and couldn’t sleep. After a while, she sat up and grabbed the medical book and tried to see if she could find any information related to Deacon’s condition.
Oriana was greatly disappointed as she found nothing.
When Oriana flipped to the last page, her eyelashes trembled. She saw a method that could be used to treat poison. Oriana stopped on the page and read the paragraph for the umpteenth time and had finally fallen asleep on the medical book.
Oriana had slept quite late the previous night, so she woke up late the next day.
As planned, Oriana had gone out for a walk. But unfortunately, when she was halfway through the city, she felt her vision turn dark and she wasn’t capable of seeing anymore.
However, compared to the panic and helplessness that Oriana had felt the previous two times, Orianar was now more calm and composed. She stepped forward and walked through the city that she had grew up in. Oriana’s mind was filled with her childhood memories as she walked.
Suddenly, a few boys passed by and their gazes were focused on Oriana.
“Look, that girl looks blind.”
“This is the first time I’m seeing such a beautiful blind girl.” The boys whispered amongst themselves and they went on to whistle at Oriana.
Withal, they soon froze as they saw that a man had been following Oriana.
Today, Deacon was clothed in a homemade black shirt and black trousers, a classic outfit for a male go d.
Deacon’s narrow and deep eyes fell on the faces of the boys.
The boys who intended on flirting with Oriana shrank in fright. They quickly took to their heels and scurried away.
Deacon Indifferently retracted his gaze. He focused his gaze on Oriana’s slender figure. Oriana was wearing a white dress. Her pure black hair was dancing in the wind. Oriana was as beautiful as the morning sun.
Oriana heard the boys whistling at her, but when she listened closely, she couldn’t hear their voices any more, so she waved it off.

She kept walking alone, and soon, she was hungry. Oriana could perceive the sweet aroma from a distance, and she knew that she had arrived at the food street.
Oriana was a huge fan of seafood and the scent of crayfish left her salivating. She and North had been here before, and they liked the crayfish the most.
With steady steps, Oriana moved into a noodle shop and called out at the entrance,
“Hi? Anyone here? Could you please lead me to a seat? I’m blind and I can’t see.”
The waiter who was done serving a customer walked over to Oriana and assisted her to a chair.
“Hi, thank you so very much. Please I’d love to have a bowl of fried noddles with eggs.” Oriana thanked and placed her order.
The waiter who happened to also be the owner of the restaurant, nodded and said politely.
“Okay, Miss. Your food will be ready in a jiffy.”
Oriana sat patiently as she awaited her meal.
Deacon also sat on a table opposite from Oriana. Deacon’s secretary, Andrew, ran over and respectfully placed a packaged crayfish on Deacon’s table.
“CEO, do you need me to peel the lobster?” Andrew offered with hands behind his back.
“No.” Deacon rejected his offer and pulled off his gloves and began peeling the lobster.
Oriana could perceive the sweet aroma of the crayfish getting closer to her. She concluded that someone beside her must be eating it.
In no time, the waiter returned with a bowl of fried noddles and egg. Deacon looked up and quickly frowned. He waved at the waiter, beckoning him to come over.
“You also added a free pork for her, did she order it?” Deacon questioned the moment the waiter walked over to him and he had a clear view of the content of the bowl.
Andrew looked at the bowl in the waiter’s hand and saw that there was indeed pork meat in the food.
The waiter blushed. He greatly admired Oriana’s beauty and also took compassion on her due to her condition, hence he gave her a free pork meat.
The waiter wanted to defend his action, but Deacon grabbed his fork and took off the pork.
“She doesn’t like pork chops, she likes crayfish.” Deacon muttered as he poured the crayfish he had peeled on the fried noodles.
The waiter was stunned. He didn’t know who Deacon was, but he saw Deacon following Oriana in.
The noodles store was located in a food street, and not a star-rated high-end restaurant. Deacon’s handsome clothes was low-key yet luxurious. It seemed that Deacon was proud and not in the right place.
The waiter stood still and could only stare at Deacon. Deacon raised his eyelids and looked at him.
“What are you waiting for? Send the fond over to her.” He ordered.
The waiter’s hands trembled and he quickly went away to give the food to Oriana.
“Hello, your fried noddles is ready.” The waiter placed the food on the table for Oriana.
“Thank you so very much.” Oriana thanked him. She grabbed her cutleries and begun eating the noddles. However, she accidentally tasted a piece of crayfish,
The crayfish had the faint sp icy taste that Oriana was familiar with. A pleasant smile suddenly surfaced on Oriana’s face. Oriana lifted her head in the direction of the waiter.
“Hi, didn’t I order fried noodles and eggs? Why are there crayfish in my meal? Oriana questioned in a bid to satisfy her curiousity.
The waiter smiled awkwardly.
“Today, our store is giving out a free crayfish today. Its been added to all meals on our menu for today.” He lied.
