Filed to story: A Sacrificial Lambs Unexpected Marriage
Peterson was about to retreat to the side, but at this moment, he felt Deacon’s fierce gaze on him.
Deacon’s stared resentfully at Peterson, as Peterson stood quietly.
Oriana sat quietly on the chair. She just looked at Naomi and did not say anything.
Naomi curled her fingers. She felt that Oriana’s bright eyes had seen through her, preventing her from looking directly at her.
“Sister Oriana, don’t get me wrong, big brother and I…”
Naomi said timidly.
Oriana quickly furrowed her eyebrows and interrupted her with a smile, “Huh? Big brother?”
Naomi was stunned,
Oriana said, “Naomi, you said that I shouldn’t get you wrong, then, why are you referring to Deacon as your big brother? You shouldn’t be be deaf, right? Mr. Armstead said that he doesn’t have a sister!”
With that. Oriana raised her head and looked at Deacon beside her. She asked, “Or do you?”
Deacon stood beside Oriana with his tall and long legs. His narrow and deep eyes stayed on Orianas’s body. “No, I don’t,”
he replied.
Naomi’s face turned even paler. Oriana made it clear that he was insulting and embarrassing her, and Deacon knew better than making it worse.
Peterson was also standing behind Oriana respectfully. Although Oriana and Deacon had not yet received. their marriage certificates, the entire Armstead family and everyone around Deacon regarded Oriana as Deacon’s wife.
Naomi shivered and her watery eyes were already brimming with tears, making her even more pitiful.
She whispered,
“Sister Oriana, Mr. Armstead and I are not what you think. I’m from a poor home, and I have a few younger brothers at home. In order to support my younger brothers to go to school, my parents sold me to the thug, Clement Adonis, and they forced us to get married, but, but…”
Naomi quickly raised her head and looked at Deacon. She was really ashamed to say it, “We haven’t had sex yet. I’m still a virgin.”
Peterson found her reply disgusting. Actually, no one here cared whether she was a virgin or not, but she deliberately brought this out and told Deacon.
Any man would be moved when he heard this story. She portrayed herself to be the good sister who sacrificed her life to save her brother.
Deacon’s handsome face was emotionless. He didn’t even look up at Naomi. He acted as if he hadn’t heard her.
At this moment, Oriana stretched out her hands, and gave Naomi a round of applause for her story.
A smile filled Oriana bright eyes. “Naomi, continue with your speech. I’m still listening.”
Naomi could already hear the nonchalance in Oriana voice. She curled her fingers and could only continue,
“Clement started heating me when he saw that I was not following his instructions. He particularly liked to abuse me. Ile beats me at every slight provocation.”
Naomi was a perfect speaker. When she talked about her emotions, she quickly twitched her red nose and shed a few tears.
At this time, it would be perfect if Deacon or Peterson handed her a tissue, but unfortunately, Deacon stood expressionlessly beside Oriana, while Peterson stared at Naomi with disdain.
Naomi waited for a while, then she could only silently raise her hand and wipe the tears off her face. She continued,
“It rained heavily the other day. I was hit by boss Armstead’s car. Boss Armstead took me with him. I stayed here for one night. When I left the next morning. Mr. Armstead left me his phone number so that I could find him if I had any difficulties in the future.”
“When I went back, I ran into Clement. When Clement realized that I hadn’t returned the previous night, he took me to Express Hotel and started to abuse me again. So, I called president Armstead in a hurry.”
“Sister Oriana, you already know what happened. So, sister Oriana, don’t misunderstand. Don’t quarrel with President Armstead because of me.”
Naomi ended her story perfectly, and she looked at Oriana pitifully.
Oriana listened to the story quietly. She tilted her head, and said, “You’re done? After you’ve finished, I have a few questions that I want to ask you.”
Naomi did not expect that Oriana would suddenly ask a question. She nodded, “Alright, sister Oriana, you may ask.”
“Naomi, apart from Mr. Armstead’s phone number, do you know that there is a phone number called 911?”
Peterson couldn’t hold back his laughter. He quickly covered his mouth, and restrained himself. Naomi was completely stiff.
Oriana smiled and said, “Naomi, although you are from a poor home, your legal education should also let you know that it’s best to inform the police, especially when it comes to combating crimes like domestic violence. What made you abandon the police and choose to call Mr. Armstead when you were threatened with domestic violence?”
As she said that, Oriana smiled playfully “Somehow, I think this domestic violence gave you a chance to call Mr. Armstead.”
Naomi was dumbfounded. She did not expect Oriana to say such.
But Oriana words were far from over. She looked at Naomi and continued,
“Naomi, you just talked about your tragic life experience. I really sympathize with you. Although I know that Clement is a scoundrel, but you chose to marry him inorder to take his money. But now, you even showed off the fact that you’re a virgin, despite the fact that you’re still benefiting from Clement. How can you be so ungrateful?”
Naomi’s head buzzed and she quickly said, “Sister Oriana, that’s not the case. I didn’t marry him voluntarily. It’s my parents…”
“So, they tied you to the Civil Affairs Bureau?”
Oriana interrupted her.
Naomi suddenly went mute.
“Since that wasn’t the case, then it means that you have also chosen to surrender to fate. Everyone has to pay for their choice. Since you are married to Clement, if your marriage is a legal transaction, then Clement paid for your body. Why don’t you do as he say? Because this path was chosen by you.”
When Oriana said that she had a few questions to ask, Naomi had already prepared herself, but how did she know that Oriana was so intelligent and thoughtful, and had already found out the loopholes in her story?
She had already heard that Oriana was sharp and articulate. Naomi really experienced it.
Naomi was still pitiful and weak. Even her delicate body shook, as if she was injured by Oriana’s words, and could collapse at any time. “Sister Oriana, how can you say that to me?”
she cried.
“Naomi, you are really contradictory. Clement is still your husband, and since you two are in a transactional relationship, you should try not to p iss him off. Well, we don’t have to talk about the past, but I just want to ask you, what are your plans for the future?”
“You and Clement are still married. You know that Clement is suspicious and always suspects you of cheating on him. Mr. Armstead here is handsome, rich, mature and attractive. Don’t you think that Clement will treat you worse when he finds out that you’re here? Or, are you trying win Deacon’s heart?”
Orianas’s words were indifferent yet heart-piercing, gently stabbing Naomi’s heart.
Naomi was unable to say a word. In her first battle with Oriana, she had been badly defeated.
Naomi quickly forced out the tears from her eyes, “Sister Oriana, I know you don’t like me. Although I come from a poor family, I am also dignified. You don’t have to do this. Humiliating and tra mpling on me isn’t fair. Sister Oriana definitely doesn’t welcome me to live here. I’ll leave now. Even if I die on the street, it’s better than being humiliated here…”
With that, Naomi lifted the blanket and planned to get out of bed, but the wound on her body was real. With such a violent movement, the wound that had just been treated quickly opened, and the blood immediately oozed out.
“Miss Naomi, you can’t get out of bed now, you have to stay in bed!”
The doctor and nurse pulled Naomi back.
The wound on her body made Naomi gasp in pain, but she was delicate and brave, and stubbornly bit her lip.
At this moment, Oriana stood up. She looked down at Naomi and said, “Naomi, if you stay, it’s better for me to leave.”
With that, Oriana turned around and left.
Oriana left the villa and came to the lawn. Her luxurious car was already waiting, and Sadie was guarding the car.
At this moment, Deacon chased after her. He reached out and grabbed her wrist. “Oriana, don’t go.”
Oriana stopped and looked up at him with her beautiful eyes “Mr. Armstead, I didn’t expect you to pick up Naomi.”
“Oriana, afe you angry? I admit that it’s my fault for lying. I was afraid that you’ll have the wrong impression,”
Deacon explained.
Orianas’s red lips curved up in a shallow are, “Who is that girl?”
she asked.
“She…”
“Mr. Armstead, if you want to tell the truth, then tell the truth. If you don’t want to tell the truth, don’t say anything. I’ve known you over the years and we’ve gone through many ups and downs. Whether I think that you’re seeing other women depends on your attitude. You said that you were afraid that
I would have the wrong thought, which means that Naomi is important to you.'”
Deacon immediately pursed his thin lips. He raised his hand and gently caressed his fingertip ont Oriana’s face. 鈥極riana, sometimes, I really hope that you won’t be so smart.”
Oriana didn’t utter another word.
Deacon hugged her waist and said in a low, soft and gentle voice, “Oriana, I swear I don’t have any thoughts about Naomi, but she is indeed important to me, I want to keep her in by my side, and find out something.”
Oriana did not ask what the matter was, because if he wanted to say it, he would have done so already.
Deacon was a mature and wise man. She had already seen Naomi’s careful thoughts. How could he not know?
To a certain extent, Oriana still trusted Deacon.
Deacon reached out and touched his strong chest, wanting to push him away, “Okay, go do your own thing. I won’t ask, let me go, I’m heading back.”
Looking at her attitude, Deacon imprisoned her in his arms and prevented her from breaking free. “Don’t go back, accompany me to dinner.”
“I’m not going with you. I’m not hungry.”
He came closer and kissed her hard, “Oriana, I have Naomi around. But you don’t even feel any sense of crisis. Why didn’t you cry or make trouble? I feel like you don’t care about me anymore. You don’t even want to eat dinner with me. I’m not afraid I might give Naomi a chance!”
Deacon noticed that Oriana didn’t have any resentment for him. He wondered if she had stopped loving him.
