Chapter 90 – A Sacrificial Lamb’s Unexpected Marriage

Filed To Story: A Sacrificial Lambs Unexpected Marriage

They were both sitting on the soft wool carpet. Oriana placed both of her hands on the ground. She herself did not know how squeamish she was at the moment.

Deacon let her go for the time being. Oriana quickly laid on the ground. She laid with her face facing the stars. She felt as though she should reach up and grab the stars.

Oriana turned to look at the diamond ring in her right hand. Her red lips arched in a sweet smile.

A meteor flashed across the sky and a shooting star sped towards Oriana.

She stood up from the ground and stared startledly at the shooting star. A strong arm suddenly hooped around her waist and hugged her from behind.

“What are you afraid of?” Deacon whispered as he kissed her hair.

The meteor exploded with a bang and instantly turned into a colourful fireworks. The fireworks quickly fell to the ground, spreading like rain.

Countless fireworks illuminated the entire city of Los Angeles. Oriana was speechless, she exclaimed like a naive girl,

“Wow! This is super gorgeous!”

Deacon improsoned her in his arms. His thin lips fell on her ear and he kissed her again.

He took out his phone and made a post with the captain,

“Mrs. Armstead, I hope you will grow old beside me. Happy birthday my queen.”

Pamela was now out of the six–star hotel. She stood outside the hotel. The entire city was blazing. All the vehicles and pedestrians had stopped to look at the beautiful sky.

“Wow. This is so beautiful.”

“Why is it raining fireworks?”

“Don’t you guys know that today is President Armstead’s wife’s birthday”

The pedestrians chatted amongst themselves.

Pamela looked at the dazzling night sky. She knew that it was Deacon’s doing.

However, she felt cheated, as though she was meant to be living the life, and not Oriana!

Pamela could only feel bitterness. The entire happenings made her loose her sanity.

She took out her phone and logged into her social media account.

Pamela kept swiping. The number one trending news was the revelation at Oriana’s birthday.

Pamela clicked on Deacon’s account. As the most prominent dignitary in Los Angeles,

Deacon had always been low–key, thus he only had a business account and no personal account.

But Pamela was shocked to see a personal account of Deacon, and the only person that he followed was Oriana.

Pamela read through the post that Deacon had made for Oriana. She felt her eyes ache in pains. She tried to open her eyes, but it was cloudy as the tears rolled freely down her cheeks.

She had seen lots of couple’s birthday post, but she had never seen any where the man wished that the lady should grow old beside him.

A man like Deacon commanded authority and wealth and could get any woman that he liked. He was capable of protecting tens of women.

Pamela opened the comment section of trending post.

“So Oriana is actually Deacon’s wife! OMG!”

“I can’t believe that Oriana had gotten married to Deacon!”

“With the fireworks and the meteor shower this evening, I’ve concluded that Oriana is such a lucky girl.”

“I really can’t imagine what Pamela is passing through now.”

The post which was made by one of the guests when Oriana had confessed to Deacon being her husband, had generated over thirty million views.

Pamela kept scrolling as the hot tears that had welled up in her eyes had rained relentlessly.

Why?

Why was this happening to her?

She was meant to be Mrs. Armstead!

Deacon took Oriana out of the hotel, and they both entered Deacon’s car and headed home.

Deacon was driving, as his big hands propped on the steering wheel. He looked up and stared at the rearview mirror. There was a car behind him, it was Pamela’s.

Pamela had gone after him.

Oriana sat in the passenger seat with a piece of strawberry jam cake in her hand. She scoop a spoonful into her mouth. She didn’t notice Pamela’s car which was speeding towards them.

“Mr. Armstead, do you wanna eat?” She offered a spoonful to Deacon. Deacon glanced at the cream on her lips.

Oriana was quite in a good mood. So she was willing to be feed him. She leaned over and pressed the spoon to his lips.

Deacon opened his mouth and Oriana shoved the spoon into it. He immediately changed lane. The Roll Royce Phantom sped into the traffic and accelerated forward

Divorce Oriana and marry me!

Oriana shuddered and quickly said,

“I didn’t see nothing!”

Deacon raised his long and narrow eyes, showing a mature man’s charm. He glanced at the box.

“What’s in the box? Are there for you or for me?”

It took Oriana a few seconds to understand what he meant. The contents in this box were either sex toys for her, or condoms for him.

Oriana quickly hid the box under the bed.

“This is my birthday present. Mr. Armstead, you must respect my privacy. You are not allowed to peek. I’ll go get a shower.” Oriana slipped into the bathroom.

Seeing her flee, Deacon pursed his lips. She had only turned twenty today, but he was already twenty seven, the age of a mature man.

Although he had never had a woman before, he knew everything he should know. Just now, the way she was hiding and dodging must have been as a result of something that she wasn’t proud of.

Deacon took out his phone from his pocket and turned it on again. There were more than ten missed calls on it, all of which were from the desperate Pamela.

Deacon’s phone vibrated, and Pamela’s call came in again. This time, Deacon pressed the answer button. Pamela did not expect that she would get through to him. She quickly said,

“Mr. Armstead, why did you get rid of me? Why didn’t you answer my numerous calls?

I’m very sad right now.”

Deacon interrupted her hastily,

“Pamela, I give you three seconds, mention what you want.”

Pamela paused for a moment, and her haggard voice was filled with tears,

“Mr. Armstead, I really like you. I have liked you for so many years. Why do you want

Oriana and not me? Why did you marry her?”

“Two seconds is over, you still have about a second left. You can still say a word.”

Hearing Deacon’s cold and ruthless voice, Pamela clenched her phone tightly. She took a deep breath and wiped the tears off her face with her left hand.

“Mr. Armstead, I saved you before, do you still remember? You had promised to fulfill three of my request. I have already thought about the third thing that I want. I want you to divorce Oriana and marry me.”

Pamela was filled with hate and rage. She hated Oriana for marrying her Deacon, and she hated herself also for having missed the opportunity of marrying Deacon. Her goal had always been to marry him. To salvage the situation, she wanted Deacon to divorce his bride, Oriana, and marry her!

Deacon’s expression did not change. Even his low–pitched magnetic voice was flat and a bit dull. “Divorcing Oriana and marrying you are two things. Pamela, which one do you want me to fulfill? And, no matter which one that you chose, I won’t divorce Oriana.”

“…I” Pamela found herself stuttering.

Pamela’s pupils shrank. She had always felt that she had an ace in her hands. Deacon was a man who kept to his word. As long as she spoke, he would definitely fulfill it.

However, he actually refused her request.

Pamela took in a deep breathe, she knew that she had this one opportunity to make her dream come through.

“Mr. Armstead, you had told me that whatever I want, that you’ll help me achieve it. Are you going to turn back on your words now?”

Deacon let out a scoff and said nothing.
