“Octavius, can you be serious for once? You are my fiancé and you should behave like one!” the woman said as she followed Octavius.“If you want to be your own fiancée then it is fine. Maybe I should remind you that my fiancée is a Sanders while, you are just adopted! Or should I say that your mother was adopted? You don’t think that that family belongs to you, right?” Octavius asked coldly as he turned around to look at the woman who had been following and disturbing him for weeks.“What's the meaning of this? We both know that their daughter ran away and my grandparents hate her so much as he was selfish and did what she wanted without caring about anyone’s feelings. They adopted my mother as she looked like her but my mother is way better than her. She is filial to them and she has even been taking care of the company all these years. Don’t tell me that you expect her to come back! You are so naïve!” the woman said with a sneer as she didn’t think that Celestine was still alive esp
However, they couldn’t help but wonder why the first thing she did after arriving was to come to their mansion and claim that she was visiting her fiancée as if she didn’t know that Octavius had been married. Some people remembered that her mother was fake and was there to destroy the Sanders thus they wondered whether the daughter was now sent to destroy the Rodrigues and the Andersons. Whether she had known her mother’s true self and was helping her mother to hide there were still several people who were adamant about believing that she had always been in the dark about her mother’s ways and reasons and that she was a good person different from the mother, his grandfather, included in the list but the Andersons and his parents together with his sister didn’t believe so as they could see that there was something fishy going on.“When you leave, don’t forget to shut the door behind you and let it be the last time you visit me here as I don’t think that my temper the next time will be
Sitting on her bed which was covered in green bed covers, she felt that she was lucky. Even though her father didn't love her and her grandparents were gone, she had her stepsister and fiancée who loved her deeply. She vowed that she would return their gratitude one way or another.Rhiannon stood up as a thought flashed in her mind making her walk to her closet while humming to choose the perfect outfit.After scanning her dresses one after another, she picked a green dress since green was Aaron's favorite, and had always said that she looked more beautiful in it."Ma'am, are you going out?" Mary, the housekeeper and the one who took care of her after her mother's death asked. To her, Mary was like the second mother whom she wished for. Always caring, and kind and made sure that she never slept with an empty stomach even when she was been punished."Yes, Mary. I am going to surprise Aaron," the lady said with a charming smile on her face.Looking at the young mistress smiling, the old
She felt her head was heavy and throbbing. She tried opening her eyes and after a couple of tries, she gradually opened them only to be met by a white ceiling and white-painted walls. From the room's smell, she knew that she was in the hospital. Trying so hard to think how she ended up here, she later recalled the misfortune she had passed making her sigh deeply."You are awake," a deep voice said coldly, making her wonder what kind of a person it was to talk to a patient in that manner.The man who was seated on the couch beside the hospital bed was looking at her emotionless making his secretary who was leaning against the door wonder what his boss was thinking."Go call the doctor and tell him that she is awake," he said still not averting his eyes from her.His words made her realize that there was more than one person in the room. Anxiously, she tried to wake up and sit so that she could know what was going on."W...ho," she tried talking but her throat was aching badly since.Th
Rhiannon was shocked to hear the words that came from the man's mouth."What makes you think that I would get married? To you especially?" she asked as she tried her best to stay calm.Amused by her cute angry face, the man said with a wicked smile on his face," Why won't you? Aren't I your greatest benefactor? I saved your life. If it weren't for me, you would have been dead by now.""Yes, you are but I will pay you instead. How can I get married to a stranger just because he saved my life?" she asked since to her the man was not been reasonable."I saved your life, can't that be enough reason to want you to also save my life?""But you aren't dying, are you?" she asked curiously since she could tell that the man was so fit and couldn't be suffering from any terminal disease."How would you know if you won't accept my offer?" he asked as he wondered why the woman was still refusing his offer.He looked at himself through his phone's screen wondering whether he wasn't good-looking any
"Rhiannon, is that you?" the person from the other side said in disbelief."Nanny, it's me," Rhiannon said with a smile and her eyes were so calm."How, didn't you die in the fire?" Mary asked."I managed to escape," she said and her eyes turned cold making the atmosphere in the room so terrifying."How? How did you? The fire...." Mary wanted to ask but she couldn't finish her words because just the thought itself made her start crying again."They wanted to kill me. Don't tell anyone that I am alive yet," she said in a cold voice.On the other side, when Mary had a terrifying tone, she was shocked to the core. It reminded her of Rhiannon's mother when she was angry. Nonetheless, this was the first time she had the young lady talk in such a tone making her know that her young mistress was so mad this turn. She knew what kind of bloodline ran in Rhiannon's body and what they were capable of doing when they were mad. After all, she was still the one who had taken care of the young mistr
"What are you waiting for? I don't have all the day to spend with you," Octavius said, making Rhiannon raise her head and look at him."Why are you waiting for me? Just go and do your work. I am going home," she said as she started walking."Are you sure? Do you want them to know that you are still alive?" he asked, making her stop then turned around."You! How do you know?" she asked as she thought she had hidden everything from everyone."What? Do you think that you have a secret?" he asked as he rolled his eyes. "Of course, I know my wife's name and I heard the news. It isn't so hard to put two and two together, is it?""Aaaargh, I think that you are so clever. Fine, take me to your house. We will buy a house later since we are married and we have to buy a new house to represent our new life," she said as Octavius looked at her.He didn't know how to explain what he felt but his heart warmed upon hearing her words. Although he was marrying her just to avoid being nagged by his gran
"Look, everyone is staring at us. If you continue making a scene, aren't you afraid that there might be someone who knows you and will inform them that you are still alive?" he asked making her shut up.She glared at him before turning around.This action made the driver speechless as he had never seen his master tolerating anyone the way he had tolerated Rhiannon."Take us home," Octavius said coldly when he noticed the driver's eyes on Rhiannon.He didn't want anyone to look at his belongings. The mere thought of everyone witnessing how beautiful Rhiannon was made him angry but he knew better than talking about it.The drive was so quiet as none of them spoke to each other.From time to time, Octavius would look at Rhiannon to see what she was doing but he only ended up annoyed that she didn't care about him.He couldn't understand why he was feeling that way, he tried himself to seem as if he didn't care about her but he found his eyes shifting to her once more.The car got in the
