Filed To Story: A Sacrificial Lambs Unexpected Marriage

Oriana nodded her head happily. She felt lucky and had swiftly started eating from the bowl before her.

Andrew Inoked at Oriana as she ate. Andrew particularly noticed the waiter’s gaze on Deacon as the waiter walked into the kitchen. The waiter probably couldn’t understand what a man like Deacon was doing in his little restaurant.

Deacon looked at Oriana as she ate her noddles. His narrow eyes were filled with love and tenderness. Suddenly, the phone in Deacon’s pocket rang.

Deacon took out his phone from his pocket and looked at the caller ID. It was Alpha calling.

Andrew’s heart ski pped a beat. Of course, he knew that Alpha was his CEO’s father. And he was also aware of the sourness in their relationship.

Deacon had been in Los Angeles for over seven years. This was the first call he was receiving from Imperial.

Deacon’s face was devoid of emotions. He reached out and hung up the call.

Andrew instantly concluded that Deacon was the only person in the entire universe who would dare to hang up on Alpha Armstead.

Andrew really wanted giving his suggestion, but he was afraid that he might p iss Deacon off. After pondering for a while, he summoned up courage and said,

“CEO, I’m not trying to invalidate your feelings, but maybe your father is calling to ask you to return home in order to inherit the family property.”

Deacon stared blankly at Andrew, he suddenly stood up and went out for a while. Upon his return, Deacon had a cup of milkshake in his right hand.

Oriana was done eating and was paying for her meal, and the waiter prepared her change. Deacon walked over and placed the milkshake on the table and gestured to waiter to give it to Oriana.

The waiter quickly reached out and pushed the milk to Oriana’s hands.

“Miss, here’s a milkshake for you. It’s included in the menu for today.”

The waiter was amazed at how well he acted and cooperated with the overbearing CEO that he had just met.

Oriana felt that today was her lucky day. She thanked the waiter immensely and went on to take a sip.

Oriana concluded after a sip that the milkshake was really good. With the unique taste and amount of free foods, Oriana wondered if the owner of the restaurant made any gain at all.

Oriana walked out of the restaurant and Deacon continued to trial her. At this moment, a car horn blared loudly.

Deacon turned and looked behind him, he sighted a convoy of luxurious buisness cars parked behind. Deacon looked closely and clearly saw the Imperial logo on the license plate.

The luxurious cars were parked quitely on the side of the road. The windows of the cars weren’t slid down, hence it was impossible to see who was behind the black tinted glass.

Withal, there seemed to be a pair of deep eyes looking at Deacon through the car’s window.

Pedestrians were attracted by the convoy of the syrabatic cars, hence they looked over.

Deacon stood for a while and looked at the luxurious cars behind him. He knew who was in the car. He guessed that the car had probably followed him all the way to the food street.

Through the tinted glass, Deacon eyes seemed to see the person who was inside. The person who was inside was also looking at him.

After a while, Deacon looked away Indifferently. He used his eyes in searching for Oriana, and once he found her, he continued trialing behind her.

Inside the car, the driver looked at the rearview mirror and respectfully asked,

“Sir, do we still need to follow eldest young master?”

The man in the back seat couldn’t be seen due to the dim light. After some seconds, he replied nonchalantly,

No need, head to the Red Villa, I want to see Mrs. Samanth

“Yes, sir.”

Oriana walked a little further and she suddenly felt like she was familiar with the place that she stood.

Oriana really didn’t have any clue about where she headed, but she felt convicted that it was the way to the Red Villa.

She wanted to go to the Red Villa and bid farewell to Mrs. Samantha. She had missed the old lady and wanted seeing her one last time.

But Oriana didn’t dare to follow her desire, for she feared that she might bump into Deacon.

Since the divorce, Deacon had disappeared from her sight, and she had never seen him.

Oriana sound found a concrete bench and sat on it. Her two hands propped up on the chair.

Deacon stood not too far from her and looked at her. Infact, he knew that she didn’t know that she had been walking towards the Red Villa.

Oriana’s mood became a little low. Oriana who was initially happy in the morning had swiftly turned overcast. She slowly swayed her calf and stared into space in a daze.

The wounds in Deacon’s heart seemed to pulled forcefully. Deacon’s breathe became heavy. His two hands clenched into a fist, then it slowly loosened.

He couldn’t dare to move closer to her because he had already agreed on letting her go.

Oriana didn’t go anywhere else. She sat on the bench through out the afternoon. Soon, dusk had arrived. Many giggling children ran over and ignited some fireworks.

Although Oriana could not see, she clearly heard the sounds of the fireworks.

Oriana’s depressed mood seemed to be lightened. She stood up and walked over to the group of laughing kids.

Oriana’s felt a hand handing over something to her. She stretched out her hand and took it. It was a small firework.

Oriana’s blank eyes stared at the fireworks, and the darkness which had engulfed her sight slowly gave way for light and Oriana’s sight was restored.

Oriana lowered her head and saw that the firework in her hand was blooming.

But Oriana seemed not to be in the mood to watch the firework. She gently turned around and searched the quiet street with her eyes. Just now, she had felt that Deacon was walking behind her and had handed the fireworks to her.

After searching around, she couldn’t find any trace of Deacon.

Another kid handed over a firework to Oriana and asked,

“Miss, do you still want to play?”

Oriana felt her heart sank. Deacon really didn’t follow behind her, and neither did he hand her any fireworks.

What was she expecting? Oriana quickly concluded that her expectation was ridiculous, so she quickly shrugged and continued with her journey.

Instead of Oriana getting her self drunk, she booked a room in a hotel and lodged for the night. After walking through the entire Los Angeles, she felt tired and took a milk bath.

Her plane ticket was for tomorrow afternoon. Tonight happened to be her last night in LA.

After taking a bath, Oriana took out her phone and sent a message to Divine.

“Divine, good day. Hope you’re doing fine? Please can you send me that flower now? I’m at ReelsReeks hotel.” The message read.

When Divine heard that Oriana was leaving, she hugged and cried on Oriana for a long time, and even threatened to visit the Imperial to find Oriana.

“No problem, Olly, I’ll be there in fifteen.” Divine’s response came in.

Oriana dried her damped hair, and soon, a knock sounded on the door.

Oriana thought that Divine was so fast. She shrugged and made for the door.

“Divine, why are you so fast…” Oriana asked immediately she opened the door, but her enthusiasm. soon faded as the individual at the door wasn’t Divine.

“Marvin, what are you doing?” Oriana inquired in surprise.

Marvin held a bag in his right hand, and his cold black eyes fell on Oriana’s face.

Oriana suddenly remembered that she had taken off her mask while taking a shower. Oriana’s palm-sized face had been steamed by the heat in the bathroom. Her beautiful facial features were delicate and lustrous, and she was wearing a white hotel bathrobe.

This happened to be the second time that Marvin saw her bare face. He reached out and slowly touched her face with his fingertips..
