Filed To Story: A Sacrificial Lambs Unexpected Marriage

“Not only that, Miss Hendrix is even more attractive to Mr. Marvin. Mr. Marvin really has good eyes!”

“If that’s the case, that means that Marvin will soon be the grandson in-law to Mrs. Robert!” Some ladies chatted amongst themselves.

Oriana didn’t want to socialize. She only wore a smile, and nodded at the praises rendered to her.

Marvin could see her discomfort. He lowered his eyes and said to her,

“Oriana, let’s dance.”

It was now time to dance. Everyone invited their female partners to dance.

“Alright.” Oriana nodded.

The two of them were about to move to the dance floor, but a handsome and tall body suddenly appeared before them. It was Deacon. He had blocked their way.

The scene quickly attracted the attention of the crowd. Everyone stared at Deacon in surprise.

“Why did president Armstead block Mr. Marvin’s way?” Someone questioned rather audibly.

Oriana’s gaze landed on Deacon’s handsome face, and she frowned lightly. Although she hadn’t spared him a glance since she arrived, she could fell Deacon’s eyes on her since she entered the arena.

His gaze was particularly aggressive, that it was hard for anyone not to notice.

But what was he trying to do now? Block their way in front of the crowd?

Marvin pulled Oriana’s into his arm, then he raised his eyes to look at Deacon.

“Bro, do you want to invite your fiancee to dance? This is actually the wrong way, Crystal is behind you.” Marvin informed.

In front of so many people, Marvin could seek a way to protect Oriana’s reputation, so he reminded Deacon that his flancer was behind him.

Crystal was indeed behind him. When she saw Deacon blocking Marvin and Oriana’s path, she quickly gritted her teeth angrily.

“What exactly does Deacon want to do?” She questioned inwardly.

Deacon’s handsome face was devoid of emotions. His narrow and deep eyes moved from Marvin’s face to Oriana’s palm-sized face. Then he said to Marvin.

“I didn’t take the wrong way. Marvin. I don’t want to invite my fiancee to dance, but it’s Oriana that I want to invite!”

Deacon actually wanted to invite his brother’s fiancee to dance? Why?

Marvin’s eyes instantly turned cold, and his body exuded a gloomy aura.

“Bro. I don’t understand what you mean ”

“You don’t have to be nervous, Marvin. Soon, you and Oriana will get married. And then she’ll become my sister-in-law. I’m only inviting my prospective sister-in-law to dance, is that too much to ask?” Deacon replied nonchalantly.

It wasn’t only too much to ask, but really disrespectful!

Oriana’s first dance ought to be with her fiancee, Marvin. But Deacon had abandoned his own fiancee, and went on to invite his prospective sister-in-law to a dance. That wasn’t respectful to his brother and fiancee at all.

Marvin stared at Deacon for a while. “What if I say no?” Marvin questioned.

Deacon narrowed his eyes for a moment. Then, he focused his gaze on Oriana’s face and slowly, he stretched out his right palm towards her, “Oriana, come over here!” He beckoned.

Oriana frowned. She wondered what was wrong with him.

Seeing that Oriana didn’t move, Deacon put his hand over to her.

Deacon stretched out his big palm and grabbed Oriana’s wrist, trying to pull her over to himself.. The audience gasped.

“What is Mr. Armstead doing? Is he trying to steal his prospective sister-in-law in broad daylight?”

 Someone asked. Deacon was unsuccessful because Marvin grabbed Oriana’s other wrist and pulled her back. The current situation was that Oriana was being held by the two sons of the Armstead family! The entire audience widened their eyes in shock

“President Armstead didn’t even look at his fiancee. Could it be that he’s interested in Oriana?”

 One of the female celebrities noticed. It seemed like the next days newspaper headline, and online post will be about the two sons of the Armstead family falling in love with Oriana. Behind Deacon was Crystal, her beautiful face was clouded in anger.

She wondered if Deacon was crazy. Many eyes were now on her. Most of those eyes exuded pity and sympathy towards her. Crystal had never felt so humiliated before. In the past, she always had the spotlight, and was envied by all. She really couldn’t understand what happened today. Deacon and Marvin held onto Oriana at the same time. Deacon’s deep and piercing gaze fell an Deacon’s handsome face.

“Bro. it’s you who should let go! Oriana is my fiancee, are you trying to take her away from me? Marvin questioned. furiously. When Deacon learned from Crystal that Oriana was going to be attending the party with Marvin, his entire body had become abnormal. When Oriana walked in, she was wearing a starry, blue dress.

Never before had he realized so clearly that she belonged to Marvin! The realization felt unbearable to him. In fact, he was afraid that he would lose control again. That there was a voice echoing in his ears, telling him that she belonged to him, and that he should not let go of her! Marvin had asked him if he was trying to take Oriana away from him. He knew that if he answered affirmatively. then he would have declared war.

“Yes, so what?”

 Deacon replied indifferently. Not only did he declare war, he also made sure to provoke Marvin. Crystal and everyone’s expression suddenly changed. They couldn’t believe that Deacon really admitted to wanting to take Oriana from Marvin.

Who would have thought that the two sons of the Armstead family wouldn’t fight over their family property, but over a woman! Oriana frowned in displeasure.

She really didn’t know what Deacon was doing. She wanted keeping a low profile at the party, because she came with a purpose. She wanted sneaking into Nora’s room in search of the key. But now that Deacon was making a fuss, the audience’s attention were now on her, watching her every move. Just as Marvin was about to make a move, Oriana raised her bright eyes and stared at Deacon. She said in a clear voice.

“Mr. Armstead, Jet ne go!”

 Oriana had chosen Marvin! Deacon’s deep eyes glared at Oriana. At this moment, he felt like strangling her. Seeing that Deacon was not letting go, Oriana tried to get rid of his grip by wriggling her wrist, but his grip was extremely tight, making her unable to break free. Oriana was really angry. What was Deacon doing? Did he think it was funny?

Oriana took two steps forward, she raised her leg and kicked his ankle. She had kicked him but he did not move. She kicked him a second time, then a third time.

His pants had several footprints on it, all of which was left by Oriana’s shoes, all people around looked at the scene in surprise. Deacon held Oriana’s hand, and Oriana went on angrily to attack him. They had never seen a woman attack Deacon before, Oriana was the first.

But he didn’t feel anything. He looked at her with his handsome eyes, and then said coldly,

“Doesn’t it hurt you?”

Oriana cased her dark eyes and glared at him.

“Then let me go” Deacon sad and released his grip on her wrist. Oriana immediately turned around and looked at Marvin. She stretched out her right hand to him, and said,

“Marvin, let’s dance.”

“Okay.”

 Marvin held Oriana’s soft hand in his palm and they walked to the dance floor. The melod music sounded. Deacon wrapped his arms around her waist, and they began to dance, Oriana was quite good at dancing. She had learned to dance since she was a child. Her body was flexible, and her aura was charming. began to twist her waist and dance to the rhythm of the music.

Following her movements, the long starry dress on her body was like a twin kling star in the vast ocean. Marvin was wearing a white suit and a black trousers. His cold aura matched with that of Oriana, and they were the most beautiful couple in the arena. Deacon stared at the duo as they danced. Marvin hugged her in his arms. Deacon had never hugged Oriana before! At this moment. Crystal walked over and said aggressively,

“Deacon, you..”

 Deacon didn’t want to listen to what Crystal had to say. He picked up a red wine glass from the waitress who passed with a tray of drink

“Deacon…”

 Crystal called out relentlessly. Deacon made to turn, but the glass slipped out of his hand and smashed to the ground.

“OMG! Deacon, are you injured?!”

 Crystal quickly exclaimed. She reached out to check Deacon’s hand for any possible injury. But Deacon didn’t let her touch him. He immediately turned around and left. He was afraid that if he didn’t leave, he wouldn’t be able to hear it anymore.

All he wanted doing was rushing onto the dance floor and sn atching Oriana from Marvin! Crystal’s hand froze mid-air, and her face displayed anger and disappointment. The celebrities watched Deacon leave. So, they all hid from Crystal’s sight, afraid that she would transfer her anger on them.

Marvin and Oriana were dancing, when Marvin said, “Oriana, although my brother lost his memory, he seems to like you very much.”

“How is that possible?” Oriana quickly denied it. He doesn’t like me, he hates me. He thinks I’m a scheming girl, and he wants to humiliate me!

Oriana didn’t inform Marvin about Deacon’s desire to keep her as his mistress.

Deacon pursed his lips, and asked in confusion, “Really?”

Was that really the case? Deacon hated her?

In Marvin’s opinion. Deacon didn’t hate her at all, but he liked her.

“Of course,” Oriana nodded. “He’s already engaged to Crystal. I don’t want to have anything to do with him. I don’t want him anymore!” Oriana added.

Marvin smiled and didn’t say anything else. He remembered how Oriana had kicked Deacon a while ago. One could see that Oriana acted overfamiliar with Deacon.

The relationship between the two really didn’t change, and they still loved each other.

The dance ended. Oriana excused herself to go the bathroom, and the she exited the party hall. She went in search of Nora’s room.
