Bounty closed her eyes and said, “Oriana, let’s get in the car and talk.”
They both got into the car. The quiet compartment was isolated from the noisy world outside. Bounty was tired. She slowly said.
“Back then, Rory Louie and I grew up as childhood sweethearts. He was a famous son of the Louie family in Imperial, and I was the daughter of the Armstead family. Our families had a marriage contract.”
“Rory and I have been outstanding since we were young. From elementary school to university, we always competed for the first place. He was very kind to me, and I loved him very much. I knew from a very early age that I would marry him in the future, and become his wife.”
“Later we got married. Rory and I got married first. We are close to each other. We loved each other so much. I was very excited about having children, because I always wanted a traditional home. But…”
Bounty choked, and even breathing became painful to her.
“But…my brother married Annabelle, all of my happiness and my life seemed to disappear the moment Annabelle appeared.”
“I still remember the first time I saw Annabelle. More than thirty years ago, the entire America still valued the male child over the female child. But Annabelle, being a female child succeeded in the jewelry business. When her jewelry brand appeared on the big stage, it stunned everyone, including me. Her designs were ethereal, novel and absolutely unprecedented. At that time, I was deeply impressed by her talents.”
“Then one day, my brother returned home and said to my mother, “Mum, I’m in love with a girl, and I want to marry her. At the wedding of the century in Imperial, I saw her in the crowd. She’s beautiful and talented. Her name is Annabelle.”
“Only then did I realize that the girl my brother had fallen in love with was Annabelle,”
Bounty took a breathe, and then continued,
“I liked Annabelle very much. I sneaked into their home a few times to see her. Once, I accidentally peeped at my brother and Annabelle in the study.”
“At that time, Annabelle ran away on the wedding night and was caught. Her first love had broken his right leg and was in the hospital for treatment. He needed a lot of medical expenses. That day in the study, my brother was smoking and there were a lot of documents scattered on the desk. Despite what she did, my brother made her sit on his thighs.”
That day, Alpha was wearing a white shirt and black trousers. He was still handsome when he was young. He was sitting on an office chair with a cigarette between his slender fingers. “Come here and sit on my lap,”
he had said to Annabelle.
Annabelle was only nineteen years old at the time. She raised her eyes and looked at him.
“If you don’t come here now, you can as well get out of here, but I’ll also order Rory to be thrown out of the hospital!”
Alpha threatened..
Annabelle shivered. She could only raise her slender legs and walked over.
Alpha had just returned from the company. There were a lot of documents sc attered on his desk. He tore off the tie around his neck. He was a bit evil and charming, but the smell of his fragrance was very strong.
Alpha held the cigarette to his thin lips, then reached out and dragged her to his thigh.
When Annabelle fell, she sat slightly on his thigh. Before she could adjust properly, Alpha’s low voice sounded from above her head, “Sit on my lap, do you understand?”
Annabelle shivered and stared at him ignorantly.
There was no trace of compassion for her in his eyes. Alpha’s eyes blazed of lust.
Annabelle could see the lust in his eyes, as he stared at her. She moved and immediately struggled. However, Alpha held her slender waist with his big hands and directly changed the sitting position for her. She was forced to sit on his strong thighs.
At that time, Bounty was peeking from outside the door. She originally wanted to see Annabelle, but she did not expect to see her brother and sister in law romancing each other.
This was in the study.
Bounty had been married at that time, and hence, she was already familiar with husband and wife affairs. Now that she saw this scene, she already guessed what her brother wanted to do.
To Bounty, her brother was a reserved man. Who wasn’t interested in such romantic affairs,
However, she was wrong.
As she stared at her brother’s current state, the shock almost overturned Bounty’s understanding of her brother.
Everyone was curious about the marriage life between the business tycoon, Alpha, and the most talented and cold-hearted woman, Annabelle.
Annabelle had refused to sit stil. She pressed her small hands against him and said softly,”
Alpha, let me go!”
Alpha domineeringly imprisoned her, making her unable to move.
Annabelle stopped struggling. “Marcus…”
“Kiss me,”
Alpha interrupted her.
Annabelle was trembling. Because of his threat, she could only lean over and gently kiss his thin lips.
Alpha grabbed the back of her head and deepened the kiss.
At that time, Bounty was just outside the door when she heard Annabelle mumbling.
When Annabelle was out of breath, Alpha let go of her and said in a low, coaxing voice, “Open-my belt.”
Annabelle began to struggle.
Alpha easily controlled her, their noses touching each other. He stared at her cold and beautiful face and spoke to her in a low voice, which exuded threat and at the same time also conveyed care,
“Last time, I told you that if you want to talk about Marcus, you must first comfort me and open my belt. You have already made me very uncomfortable.”
Annabelle’s face flushed red as she tried her best to avoid his presence.
Alpha noticed her reaction, he added, “It’s okay, you’ll get used to it in the future. You’re my wife. It’s your duty to serve me.
At that time, Bounty almost wanted to cover her ears. She did not expect that her noble and elegant brother would actually say such things.
Soon she heard Alpha’s belt unbuckling. Bounty turned around and wanted to leave.
But she suddenly heard a voice from inside, “Who is there?”
Alpha’s low and hoa rse voice came in an instant, with a stern tone.
Bounty immediately turned her head. Annabelle could see Alpha’s eyes through the c rack of the door.
“Someone’s here!”
Annabelle exclaimed frightenedly, as she hugged Alpha tight.
“Brother, it’s me…”
Bounty replied with a smirk.
Alpha’s handsome face was cold. He held Annabelle with one hand, and picked up the document on the desk with the other hand and smashed it at Bounty. “Get out of here!”
Bounty was so frightened that she turned around and ran away.
Bounty could still clearly recall every scene at that time. She h ooked her red lips lightly, “It was the first time I saw my brother act that way towards me, and from that day, I realized that my brother really liked Annabelle.”
“At that time, Rory came to pick me up twice. I was so st upid, so st upid… I couldn’t see that his eyes were wandering. He had stood downstairs a few times, looking up, looking at the closed door of the master bedroom.”
“I was pregnant at that time. The baby was very healthy. I listen to his heartbeat every day. He’s very naughty. When I woke up in the morning, he would kick my stomach. I made two sweaters. It was my first time learning to knit. Each day, i looked forward to my baby coming to this world safely and healthy.”
“However, the accident happened.”
Oriana heart froze. She knew that the main scene was about to begin.
Bounty reminisced again, 鈥楾hat day, it was my birthday. We all went back to the Armstead family’s mansion. My brother brought Annabelle to my birthday dinner. Rory was also there, and my mother was there too, I was very happy, because I was surrounded by the people that I loved the most.
“After dinner, Annabelle suddenly said that she was not feeling well. She went upstairs to rest. Soon 1 found out that my husband, Rory, was gone too. They had both disappeared at the same time.”
“At that time, we didn’t suspect anything, and I didn’t even think about it until there was a scream from upstairs,”
Bounty took in a deep breathe, and then continued.
“We were startled by the scream, and we quickly went upstairs to my room. I was the first to open the door. I saw a scene that I would never forget for the rest of my life, Annabelle and Rory, they were rolling on my bed, and their clothes were half torn and messy.”
“I can’t remember exactly what happened next, because I kinda froze. But I remember that I ran out quickly. While descending the stairs, I fell and my baby was gone!”
Bounty narrated, as tears welled up in her eyes.
Oriana quickly reached out and hugged Annabelle’s trembling shoulder. She gently patted her, “Principal Bounty, everything is in the past now.”
“No,”
Bounty shook her head, “It’s still not in the past. I still have nightmares every night. Do you know that the dead child was operated out of my womb? Oriana I can’t forget that.”
Oriana loved Bounty very much. The loss of a child was something that no mother could bear. Now, any words of comfort seemed useless. She could only pat Bounty on the back and silently mourn with her.
After Bounty had cried enough, her emotions slowly calmed down. She looked up at Oriana, and said, “Oriana, I will never forgive Annabelle in my life. Stay away from her. She is not a good person at all!”
Orianas’s eyes brightened, and she said. “Principal Bounty, that incident was very strange back then, wasn’t it? If Aunt Annabelle wanted to cheat on Alpha with Rory, why would she choose to do so at your birthday, and your room of all places? Why would she possibly do that there, when she knew that she could be caught?
“That’s because my brother grounded Annabelle. She didn’t have a chance to cheat. My birthday gave her a chance.”
“Okay, even if that makes sense, there’s another possibility. What if she was framed?”
Bounty sneered, “Oriana, do you think we hadn’t checked? We checked the surveillance cameras from the mansion.”
“In the surveillance video, after dinner, Annabelle searched for Rory and invited him into the room. Annabelle had entered the room first. Rory, who initially reluctant, was finally unable to resist the temptation, and had followed in. The two of them immediately got into the bed. This was verified by Rory himself. It’s on the surveillance camera and the evidence were all there. Oriana, do you still want to say that she was framed?”
Oriana quickly frowned. She knew that the Armstead family wasn’t a mere family. If such a big Incident happened, the hostess of the family, Mrs. Samantha, and the astute Alpha, must be sure. It was definitely investigated immediately.
The surveillance cameras and Rory’s confession made it difficult for Annabelle to get away.
