Filed To Story: A Sacrificial Lambs Unexpected Marriage

“Oriana, you’re such a little fool, how could you think that Deacon doesn’t want you? He likes you way too much, hence he needed a divorce so he could push you away from himself.”

Oriana went numbed, and she was puzzled.

“I don’t understand.” She mumbled.

“Oriana, have you tired refining a medicine for Deacon’s illness?” Mrs. Samantha asked.

Oriana froze for a moment. She looked at the old lady shockingly, and she turned and looked at Deacon’s face. It turned out that they were all aware of what she did.

“Oriana, we all know, okay? It was Deacon that told me

He said that it was very difficult for him to allow you stay beside him. He felt like he had nothing to offer you. Oriana, you’re his medicine, but he couldn’t help but push you away, If he had his wouldn’t have allowed the divorce to happen. Deacon loves you so much.” Mrs. Samantha’s voice sounded tenderly, evoking all the emotions that were buried in Oriana’s heart.

Oriana felt that she had acted stu pidly. She was such a fool. How could she believe that he didn’t like her anymore? It turned out that he was all pretending.

“But, what happened between him and Pamela? Grandma, do you know that him and Pamela were in the same room. I had slammed on the door so hard from outside, begging him to open the door, but he had blatantly ignored me.

As long as Oriana remembered that incident, Oriana still felt a piercing pain in her heart. The resentment and grievances that she had suppressed in her heart while listening to Old Mrs. Samantha couldn’t be held bound for long.

“I won’t accept a thousand excuses. He said that he belonged to me. He said that it was only me.” Oriana sniffed as she continued crying.

Old Mrs. Samantha’s eyes flashed coldly as she heard Oriana’s words. Deacon was her grandson, and she was wired to always speak in his favor, but in this situation, she was out to be truthful as much as she could.

The old lady used her handkerchief and wiped away the tears from Oriana’s eyes.

“Olly, stop crying, okay? If Deacon knows that you are crying so badly, he would definitely feel bad. He would hate to see you cry.” Mrs. Samantha tried to comfort Oriana,

Oriana’s tears couldn’t be stopped. She felt very sad.

“Oriana, there’s one more thing that Deacon didn’t want me to tell you. But I’ve thought about it and decided to let you know. You have to be men tally prepared for this.”

Oriana sniffed and wiped the tears from her eyes with the back of her palm.

“Grandma, what’s the matter?”

“Actually, that day, Pamela drugged Deacon with the most effective aphrodisiac incense in the world.”

What?

Oriana’s tears suddenly seize and she forgot how to cry.

“However, that day, Deacon didn’t touch Pamela. The blood on the sheets was made by Pamela herself.” The lady added.

“How could he not have been affected by the drug?” Oriana questioned the possibility of the truth in Mrs. Samantha’s words.

The old lady patted Oriana’s small hand.

“Deacon didn’t touch Pamela. The medicine was very severe that Deacon had taken a knife and slashed his lower region.” Mrs. Samantha added.

Oriana inhaled and her pupils contracted violently. She had never imagined the truth to sound this way. Her frightened, clear eyes slowly moved down from his pale face and landed on his pants.

“Oriana, I really do like you, hence I think that you should know about Deacon’s condition. It seems that Deacon can’t perform anymore, but this is his choice. You still have something to be proud of, and that is that he left you without betrayi and cheating on you.”

TRIGE

“Oriana, on the one hand, Deacon hopes that you can follow Marvin to Imperial and start your life afresh, but he can’t let you go.”

Oriana reached out and covered his handsome face with her trembling hands.

She concluded that he was even more annoying than she thought he was.

Oriana pressed her face to his neck and placed soft kisses on it.

Oriana left the ward and headed to the doctor’s office. Jasper Luke stood outside and smiled.

Miss Hendrix, my boss is inside.”

Oriana placed her hand on the door kn ob and turned it opened.

Oriana pushed open the office door and looked inside. There were several medical professors from across the world. They were all top figures in the neurology department. They were arguing about Deacon’s medical records.

Oriana’s gaze landed on the window. There was a tall figure who stood quitely, and was smoking a cigarette.

The chattering and quarrels from the professors didn’t seem to affect him. His fingertips held onto a cigarette. When he heard the door open, he turned around.

Swiftly, he walked over to the desk. With one hand, he slightly bent over and threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray.

Oriana had already seen Alpha Armstead in the magazine that North had showed her. But now that she stood before him, she felt her heart palpitate.

Alpha Armstead was a legendary man who had stunned the buisness world. He was even more elegant and expensive than she had imagined. Oriana felt like she stood before Imperial.

Deacon, Marvin and Derrick Rodriguez were all influential figures, but compared to Alpha Armstead, they were a little inferior.

Oriana understood what they lacked the most, and that was the aristocratic aura of Alpha.

The look he had casted on Oriana was calm and didn’t convey any emotion, but Oriana felt like he had seen the depth of her soul.

A knock suddenly landed on the door, and Jasper pushed open the door. He got in as he looked at the professors. He exchanged a few words with them and then the professor exited the office.

Jasper looked at Alpha respectfully, then he walked out of the office and closed the door.

When Oriana first saw Jasper, she concluded that he was arrogant and shrewd. However, seeing how Jasper looked at Alpha, Oriana knew that it was Alpha’s charm and aura that made his subordinates determined to carry out his orders.

There were only two people left in the office, and that was Alpha and Oriana.

Alpha sat on the office chair, and pointed to the chair opposite him.

“Miss Hendrix, please take a seat.” Alpha offered. His tone was normal, but it conveyed an inexplicable aura of majesty that made people obey.

Oriana walked over and sat on the chair.

Alpha raised his eyes and looked at Oriana. His expression was always calm, and it made it difficult for people to decipher if he was angry or happy.

“I’m sorry to have invited you over here, Miss Hendrix. But we have to talk about Deacon.”

Oriana stared at him without the slightest trace of fright.

“What does Mr. Alpha wants to talk about?”

Alpha took out an envelope and pushed it to Oriana. Oriana grabbed the envelope and opened it. It contained of photos.

Oriana took out the first photo. The photo was taken when she had gone blind after walking out of the hospital. She had stood in the street and had placed a call to Deacon. Back then, Deacon had acted indifferently on the phone.

Oriana looked intensely at the photo. The entire city was brightly lit. She had stood in the middle of the road with him.

Oriana had reached out to him, and he had stared at her in pain.

Oriana’s eyes turned red again. Her soft white fingertips slowly stroke his handsome face. It turned out that it was not her illusion, he was really there.

Oriana picked up another photo. It was taken at the night she agreed to divorcing him and she had left the Red Villa immediately. She got into a taxi and he chased after her.

The next photo was of him lying in a pool of blood, his pants were wet with blood. He kept looking at the direction the car she was in had taken, then he slowly closed his eyes.

In the next photo, he parked his car outside North’s apartment. He slid down the car window and smoked silently.

The next photo was taken the previous day. He had followed her when she went strolling along the street of Los Angeles.

These moment were all captured in the photos.

Oriana caressed his handsome face slowly. Tears tar dily rolled down Oriana’s face. She instantly realized that meeting a man like Deacon was her greatest luck.

Alpha’s low voice sounded into Oriana’s ears.

“The worst time for Deacon was during the three years that he was at the mental hospital. At that time, he was completely unable to control himself. I too k hi m out from there and sent him to Los Angeles. As he grew older, he slowly learnt how to control himself. I saw that he was gradually getting better. I decided to allow him stay in Los Angeles, away from the Imperial and the Armstead family. But I didn’t expect his condition to become this bad.”

Oriana wiped the tears off her eyes, then she looked up to Alpha.

“So, what do you intend on doing?”

Alpha stared at the girl before him. He knew that she was very smart. Sure enough, he had come prepared.

Although the empire of his buisness was not in Los Angeles, his influence spread to every corner of the world. He was familiar with all that happened between Deacon and Oriana.

“Miss Hendrix, I want you to save Deacon. I think that you’re the only one that can save him.” Alpha informed affirmatively,

Oriana lowered her eyes and looked at the photos.

“If I save him, what about me? If I choose to save him, then I’ll definitely die.”

“I’ll prepare the best doctors, and they’ll do their best to save you. But of course, it won’t really matter to you if there are any doctors to save you, so I can only rely on your love for Deacon. Hence I bet that you’ll be willing to trade your life for his life.”

Oriana pursed her lips. Her clear eyes were brighter because of the tears that fell.

“After he’s healed, will you take him with you?”
