Divine felt that Oriana was a little mysterious. Divine really wasn’t a scholar. Her routine were different from others. The library was so huge, that anytime she went into it, she felt drowsy.
Divine’s sharp eyes landed on Oriana’s neck
“Oriana, what marks are those on your neck? Who did that to you?”
In order to cover her injuries, Oriana had worn a high collar blouse, but Divine’s eyes were so sharp.
Oriana quickly covered her neck with her hands and said, “Divine, don’t talk nonsense, I was only bitten by a mosquito”
Divine pulled Oriana into an unoccupied corner and whispered, “Oriana, I heard that you’re married to a ghost in the Red Villa, is he a psychopath?
Because, this is obviously a human bite. The teeth had bitten deep into your neck, this was done to suck your blood.” Divine spoke as she stared attentively at Oriana’s neck.
Oriana took a deep breathe and placed the medical book on the shelf.
“What do you mean by the intent was to suck my blood? It’s not a vampire.”
“Oriana, I’m serious. These people aren’t normal at all. They have a mental illness, and there is no way to cure them.”
“I had a cousin who married a lady. The lady was so good. She was very considerate and caring towards. my cousin. But he had a problem, he liked domestic violence.” She paused and stared at Oriana’s face which seemed interested in her story.
When my cousin’s wife was sick, my cousin tied her to the bed and abused her. The more pain the lady was in, the happier he was. He was blood thirsty.” She swallowed hard then continued,
“The lady really loved my cousin. But when she had had enough, she realized that she was pregnant and couldn’t leave anymore.”
“What I’m trying to say is that, you’re still very young, and your life has just begun.
Quickly find a way to divorce that husband of yours. You’ll meet more men in future, those who will treat you better.”
Oriana pulled Divine’s hands and patted it.
“Divine, thank you so very much for your advice. But I know what I want, so you don’t have to worry about me.”
It’s fine, if you have any difficulties, just let me know. I think your face is quite pale, I’ll go to the kitchen and make you some soup.”
“Divine, you cook here?” Oriana questioned surprisingly.
“What do you take a foodie for?” Divine smirked, then turned around and left.
Oriana slowly sat on the soft carpet against the wall. Her eyes were blank for a while.
She took out her phone and went through it.
Red Villa.
Deacon slowly opened his eyes. The splendid morning light had already seeped through the layers of the windows. It was the first time he had woken up so late.
With the drowsiness in his eyes, he rolled over to hugged the girl who had slept behind him.
He stretched his hands around the bed, but there was no one on it.
Oriana was no longer there. Deacon quickly opened his eyes, the sleepiness had disappeared from his eyes.
Deacon sat up and got out of the bed. His eyes searched around the room. He opened the bathroom door, but she still wasn’t there.
“Where did she go?” He questioned inwardly.
He could not remember how many wounds he had caused her. But all he knew was that, his actions were despicable and shameful. He was disgusted at himself.
He knew that she must have suffered a lot of injuries and must have been extremely afraid.
Was she gonna come back?
Deacon took out his phone and clicked on Oriana’s phone number. He wanted to dail it, but he was unable to press the dial button.
He placed the phone on the bed and went into the bathroom. After he had taken a shower, he went downstairs and meet his grandma.
“Deacon, you woke up very late today. Why did Oriana leave so early? You two quarreled, right?” Mrs. Samantha inquired.
“We didn’t have a quarrel.” Deacon denied.
“That’s good. That girl needs to be taken proper care off. She is so obedient and tender.
You can call her later and take her out on a candlelight dinner.
Deacon smiled softly.
“Grandma, I don’t think I’ll call Oriana anymore.”
“Why?” Mrs. Samantha questioned with a curious expression.
“Before I met Oriana, I never thought that I was an abnormal person. But since I met her,
I realized how abnormal I am.” He licked his lips and continued, “What if I can’t always control my self. I really did hurt her last night, and I feel terrible about it.”
“I just have to let her go. I can’t be selfish to keep her and then hurt her the way I did again.“Deacon let out a breathe.
“Grandma, it’s fine. I still have you by my side. I’ll go to the company now.” Deacon hugged
Mrs. Samantha then headed to the door.
Old Mrs Samantha watched her grandson leave. She sighed heavily. She knew that her company wasn’t enough, and that Deacon needed someone else in his life.
He needed a girl who would love him, and whom he’ll also love.
Mrs Samantha sat sadly on the dinning table, as she wondered what the future had in stock for Deacon and Oriana.
Maria hurried downstairs and whispered with a smile to Mrs Samantha,
“Ma’am, I went to tidy up the room of young master. I found out that the sheets needs to be changed.”
The old lady looked at Maria, she lifted up herself and queried,
“Are you sure?”
“Yes ma’am, it’s true. Not only does the sheet needs to be changed, the pillows as well.”
Maria affirmed.
Mrs Samantha’s face was nostalgic. She sighed and said to Maria.
“I’m famished, get me something to eat.”
Sure, ma’am.” Maria left for the kitchen.
Mrs. Samantha had finished her second slice of pastrami sandwich, when her phone rang.
The housekeeper, Mr. Henry took Mrs. Samantha’s phone from the living room and took it to her.
He reported in a panic,
“Ma’am, it’s the lady of the imperial city.”
Mrs Samantha glared at Henry with contempt.
“What are you panicking about?”
The old lady answered the call and said,
“Hello, Helen, call me back later.”
Helen Armstead, who was far way in the imperial smiled apologetically.
“Mom, if it wasn’t urgent, I wouldn’t have dared to disturb you. It’s my son, Marvin, he once signed a marriage contract to the daughter of an old friend. Now, Marvin has come of age. Can you please give us back Marvin’s engagement token? Without the engagement token, we can’t know who his fiance is.”
Madam Samantha placed the sandwich in her hand into the plate.
“Helen, what do you mean? You suspect that I stole Marvin’s engagement token, do you mean to say that I’m a thief?”
Mr. Henry secretly gave the lady a thumbs up.
Mum, you misunderstood me. I would never call you a thief.” Helen chipped in defiantly.
The old lady’s expression had changed.
“Look, Helen, I didn’t take Marvin’s engagement token. Why do you people keep troubling me, you took my son away from me, I didn’t make trouble. I’ve been here in
LA, all to myself, you still find it fit, to bother me.” Mrs. Samantha spoke as she sobbed.
Helen on the other end could hear Mrs Samantha’s tired cries. She quickly hang up the call.
Hearing that Helen had hung up, Mrs. Samantha threw the phone to Henry. She turned to her sandwich and continued eating it.
Marvin was Deacon’s younger brother, and Helen was Deacon’s stepmother. Mrs. Samantha had indeed taken the engagement token, and she didn’t bother on returning it because
Oriana was the daughter of the old friend to Helen. and the fiance of Marvin, the second son of the Armstead family.
However, Oriana was now Deacon’s wife.
