Semua Bab My arranged marriage: Emelda and Bryan. : Bab 51 - Bab 60

Natasha's POV It was past nine in the evening when the driver finally pulled into the driveway of my house after a long drive. The moon perfectly doing its job illuminated brightly in the sky as the cool breeze whispered through the trees. The silence of the night, a stark contrast from the chaos in my mind. The only noise heard in the environment were that of chirping crickets.Still lost in thoughts of the turnout of today's event, I stared out the window, replaying the events of the day in my head. I was so welled up with my thoughts that I didn't hear the driver's voice until the third time he called out to me, his voice ringing loud through the silence of the car as he honked the horn."Hey ma'am?" he said, his voice harsh and impatient as he spoke, "Are you alright? I have been calling out to you for some minute now."“Is that why you want to break my ear drums?” I snapped, my eyes spitting fury immediately I turned to face the driver.“Madam, please get down, I don't want

Emelda's POV I stood in shock as I stared blankly at my phone on the floor. Just then one of the staff called out to me from the room."Ma'am?" Her voice rang, her tone gentle and inquisitive as she continued, "Are you alright in there? Do you need any help?"As I heard the maid's words, I quickly ran the water over the empty bathtub as I bent over and picked up my phone, my hands shaking as I did so. I adjusted the towel wrapped around my body, calmed myself down and then replied to her. "Yes, I'm fine," I said, my words steady and calm as I continued, "Thank you, I just dropped something, but I'm finished with my shower. I am coming out now.”As I stepped out of the bathroom with the towel wrapped around my body, I was met by the sight of the maids waiting for me, their eyes averted as they held out a silken robe and a pair of slippers for me to wear. I found myself blushing slightly as I accepted their help, my voice soft and appreciative as I thanked them."Thank you, ladies,

Emelda's POV My face shone in pure delight as my lips formed into a curve revealing the smile on my face. I watched as Natasha was stupefied, my eyes glinting in pure joy as her eyes and mouth widened in shock from the information she had just received. She tried to talk, to say something, to revolt but her words choked with rage and frustration as she realized that what she had heard was indeed true after Bryan had shown her a picture of the wedding certificate in his phone, and that she and her mother had by themselves drove me to a pleasant life. “You can't be married to him, no, it can't be.” Natasha finally uttered, catching her breath and getting a hold of herself. “We checked the background well enough, and Jonathan, that old man, couldn't even afford the complete payment.” “You brat!” Bryan growled, his eyes fiery as his hands flew in the air and only stopped a few steps to Nastasha’s face when I reached out to him, touching him gently. “How dare you disrespect my late gr

Bryan's POV “What the …” I blurted out as I stopped in my tracks, the glow in my eyes disappearing as I stood few steps away from the entrance of the company's building.My hands still entwined with that of Emelda’s suddenly turned cold as my gaze caught the sight of a woman leaning against a white Rolls Royce.At first, I thought I had not seen well, probably mistaken the lady for who my mind thought she was. But, as I focused the more, this time around, more intensely, the sight of her striking figure sent a jolt of recognition through me.My breath immediately caught in my throat and anger surged in my blood vessels as I realized it was Cassandra, my ex-girlfriend.“No…. No, no, it can't be.” I thought in my head, my mind filled with confusion and several other emotions as her presence like a shadow from the past darkened my mood. The joy I had felt only moments before quickly evaporated as I came to terms with the figure before me.I watched as she stood there, her dark hair casc

Emelda's POV I was so tired that I drifted in and out of consciousness while waiting for Bryan. My mind and body weary from the day's events.Thoughts of my confrontation with Natasha and Bryan's confrontation with the strange woman from earlier running through my mind, cutting through my peaceful sleep. As I stretched, trying to kick out the wandering thoughts in my head. A car honk immediately sounded in the air, sending a chill all over me and jolting me up from the sofa. With my mind still foggy, my eyes quickly snapped open as I sat up in the luxurious sofa I had fallen asleep on, my body stiff as I rubbed the sleep from my eyes. I looked around the room for a while, as if trying to figure out my environment."What time is it?" I asked, my words slurred as I spoke, my voice tired and groggy as I muttered to myself. “I was supposed to be waiting for Bryan."As I glanced at the clock, the time mocked me as it clicked over to one in the morning. My still sleepy eyes widened in
