Chapter seventy. Emery’s pov.Brielle set me up. Pushing me into the pool wasn’t enough for her so she had to set me up too! “I heard she comes from a poor background and she’s just lucky to be part of this family,” the woman standing beside the young man backed up. “Hmmm…people like her don’t belong here,” someone else scoffed. I felt so belittled, embarrassed and powerless. “You don’t deserve this luxury.” A young lady threw wine at me. Fuck!“You’re so embarrassing.” Another splash of wine on me. Celestine came forward, and Brielle followed suit.“I didn’t steal anything,” I grimaced. “Why’re you lying?” My eyes glared at Brielle. “Oh! Stop dying it. This is the dress I bought for Brielle and it’s one of a kind,” Celestine emphasized. “Snatching my fiance isn’t enough for you that you had to steal my dress?” Brielle sighed.I heard the crowd murmur an ‘ooh!’ “Is she cheating on Austin?” Someone spoke out. “Enough talking! You’ve humiliated my daughter and I won’t stand f

Chapter sixty nine . Brielle’s pov. I stomped out with my chest puffed with fury so hot that I felt like acid was in my throat . How did she do it? How did she manage to charm both brothers? Urghhhh!! I dragged my fingernails into my palms that I felt like screaming. “I’m so sorry ma’am,” Magda hurriedly said as we clashed onto each other. She was in a hurry and obviously I was distracted with my thoughts. As Magda bent down to pick up the clothes , a brilliant idea sparked in my head. Hmmm….“Don’t worry I’ll handle it from here,” I said to her in a sudden fake sweetness. “But ma’am, it’s my job,” she protested in a low tone. “It’s fine, Magda. Go attend to other things,” I dismissed her, giving her a look that brooked no argument. “Lucas is mine. You don’t stand a chance bitch,” I mumbled to myself as I stared at the clothes. A devious feeling of satisfaction filled my nerves. Emery’s pov. After I was done with the change of clothes , I went back to the party. I paused

Chapter sixty eight. Emery’s pov.Everything I looked at around me vanished into a white and hot fury. “How dare you threaten my mother?!” Before I realized myself, my palm connected with Brielle’s left cheek in a brutal, resounding slap. I felt the force of the impact on my arms which made my fingers throb with pain. The flames of fire I felt in my chest calmed down as I got the satisfaction I wanted. Brielle gasped , cutting through the ambience of the party with her head snapping to the side. I left Brielle speechless for a minute. “How dare you lay your hands on my daughter?!” Celestine exploded, her face masked with pure rage. Brielle held her red cheek, and looked at me with her bloody eyes in humiliation. “You psychotic bitch!” I was about to brace myself when Brielle lunged forward with all her weight , her hands planting firmly onto my chest, and shoved me backward. I lost my grip on the slippery tile and my mouth widened as I tilted backward into the empty air for a

CHAPTER SIXTY SEVEN.Emery’s pov.I stepped out of the bath tub, the warm water doing nothing to melt away the ice gripping my chest. I didn’t know how to feel or what to do, but the last thing I will want to do was to confront Austin about it even though my body want to scream out how I felt.However, I had questions…unanswered questions, popping in and out of my mind. Why did he do it? Is it because he has fallen in love with me and he wanted to claim me at all cost? Even at the expense of my mental health. He had questions too about my disappearance with Lucas, he was consumed by worry throughout yesterday and this morning, yet he gave me a warm embrace as I returned and stood up for me against Celestine? Could that be genuine trust he has for me? My mind was pressured and filled with suffocating unease. I ransacked my closet checking for my clothes that could still size me, my baby bump is getting more visible with each passing month.“Don’t tell me you’ve been sitting here and

Chapter sixty six.Emery’s pov.How long has it been?Austin bounced up from his seat at the sight of me and put his phone back into his pocket. He must have caused a scene to make everyone be alert.Brielle was sitting close to a woman who looked old enough to be her mother. The woman’s hair showed traces of gray colour as it sleeked back tightly into a bun, thin lines carved her forehead and around her mouth as her red lips pressed into a thin line. Her eyes were cold and narrow towards me…if her eyes could kill, it would have killed me the moment she stared at me. Her straight black gown with bold buttons which was arranged at the center spoke authority. Everyone carried a mean face except Georgia whose face restored with relief. I know she’s being kind to me because I’m her son’s wife. “Oh! Dear,” Georgia spoke. She opened her arms as she walked towards me, but the mean-looking woman intercepted her sharply and smacked her hands hardly against my cheeks. Oh my God. Why would s

Chapter sixty five. Lucas’s pov. The woods were wet which made me wave my hair in frustration.My eyes moved to check on Emery and she was freezing and unconscious. She’s fucking freezing. I have to do something quickly. In a rush manner , I searched around for some change of clothes. I found some clothes neatly folded in a shelf; one side had female clothing while the other side had male clothing. It’s obvious that it was a couple that lived here. How could they survive here? Or do they come occasionally to cool off? Or are they dead? Dead! This place might be dangerous. I took out a floral gown which smelled of old dust and cedar. It was a far cry from the professional suit gown she was currently wearing which clinged to her skin like a second layer.I had to take off Emery’s wet clothes and put on the gown for her without looking at her nude . I know I’m not supposed to, but at this point, it’s the only option I had. If I don’t get her out of this wet clothes, the fever woul
