A Miracle Fault novel Chapter 48

Anayah walked to his side and looked at him disdainfully, "Frank, didn't you say that you would definitely become the Byrne Group's president? Why was Stefan chosen instead? I pleaded with my father for you and now we have nothing."

"Anayah, don't worry. I will take back my place."

He said desolately as he pulled her hand.

Anayah moved his hand away gently, "Then I'll come to see you again once you get back your position as president." She turned around and was about to leave.

"Anayah!" Frank grabbed her hand strongly, "What do you mean? Are you going to break up with me just because I'm not the president?"

Anayah looked at his bloodshot eyes, and then she lowered her head, "Frank, I thought you would be president. You forced me to get a divorce with Stefan but you didn't get the place. I'm technically still Stefan's wife on paper. We cannot be together anymore. If Stefan wants to look into this, my family will be in trouble."

Frank looked at Anayah who was slowly detaching herself from him. He felt cold inside, "You are only saying this because I didn't become the president of the company, not because you are afraid about what Stefan is going to do. Anayah. I can't believe that you are such a person! Even though I'm not the president of the Byrne Group, I'm still the second son of the Byrne family! How could you say that!"

Anayah looked at his sorrowful eyes, his large hand which was grabbing her arms was tightening its grip. She quickly turned around and hugged him, "Frank, no. I love you, but I'm still Stefan's wife on paper. What can I do? If he doesn't want to get a divorce with me, then we can never be together."

Frank lowered his head and looked at Anayah in his arms. He had loved her deeply for many years and thought that she would still be with him even though he didn't take over the company as the president.

He felt that Anayah was going to leave him. He then smiled, "Stefan will divorce you. He is in love with your sister right now. They are getting along well. She even moved into Sweedal Residence. I believe that Stefan will soon agree to sign the divorce agreement with you so that your sister can be his lawfully wedded wife."

Anayah was shocked upon hearing what he said.

How could it be that they were getting along well?

Her hands started to tremble uncontrollably. How could they fall in love in such a short time? Besides, Emmeline was an idiot who didn't know anything, how could Stefan fall in love with her?

Stefan should only love a sophisticated rich girl like her. He and Frank fought against each other to get married to her. He did that because he did have a crush on her, right?

Frank knew that he was correct seeing her trembling in his arms. Anayah still wanted to marry Stefan!

His eyes turned red and he grasped Anayah's arm very tightly.

Anayah snapped out of it when she felt the pain in her arms, "You are hurting me. Let go, Frank!"

But he didn't. He just stared at her, "You still want to marry Stefan, don't you?"

Anayah flung his hand away, "Let go of me, you are crazy. I am his wife on paper, we are not divorced yet! Why should I want?"

"Hahaha… Even if you want to, it's too late. He doesn't want you anymore. He knows that you were in love with me since you were little and that you were with me for the past 9 years. You didn't like that he was disabled and told your sister to marry her instead. He hated you, why would he still want you? Anayah, give up and be my woman. Otherwise, I will make your family disappear!"

Frank's face was twisted. Anayah looked at his malicious face and felt cold all over! This was the man that she loved for more than 10 years! He was terrifying!

She was in love with him since she was little. She liked his aggressiveness and his generosity because he was a rich kid. She gave him her first time when she turned 17!

But looking at his malevolent face, she shivered in fear.

She stood there with a blank look in her eyes staring at the man before her. Frank slowly let go of his hand and took a step backwards. He then turned around and left the mansion.

In the president's office in the Byrne Building, Frank forced his way in. But he was halted by the security and the secretary.

"Mr. Vice President, you cannot go in right now."

"Go away! Who are you to block my way?" He kicked the security guard.

The door to the office was opened and Chand walked out. His eyes were dim, "Mr. Vice President, the president is now having an important video call with our business partner from overseas. Please come again in half an hour."

Frank glared at him harshly, "Chand, I used to be nice to you, how dare you block my way now?"

"I know that you were always nice to me and I always appreciated it. But now I am working for the president, please forgive me but I'm just doing my job!" said Chand politely as he stood in front of the door.

Frank knew that he wouldn't be able to enter the door. A fire was blazing in his eyes as if he wanted to burn the door to crisp.

He clenched his fist so tight that his veins were popping. "Tell Stefan that I'll be waiting for him on the top floor of the Astor Entertainment Centre tonight. I wish to see him there."

Chand didn't say anything back. He smiled as he looked at Frank as Frank turned around and left.

Stefan was sitting on the wooden armchair in the office. He was talking to the person in charge of the branch in France.

He was done when Chand walked in. He then stood up and walked towards the French window.

Chand was surprised, "President, you can walk now?" He looked blankly at the man's long and slender legs as Stefan walked towards the window.

"Yeah, don't let anyone know. My legs have recovered since 3 years ago." He trusted the people that Edison assigned to him. Chand looked at the man standing in front of the window excitedly.

"Don't worry. President, I'm so happy that you're finally able to walk again. Mr. Byrne would be happy." Chand said delightedly.

Stefan turned around, "Arrange some people to keep Frank in check. Mr. Longley from France wants to pay a visit, don't let Frank mess things up. Also, tell the principal of B University that I want to add someone into the sophomore class of the School of Design within a few days."

"Understood. President, are you planning for the madam to continue her schooling? From what I know, she was in B University, doing her second year in the design department. Her results were great, and the teachers were always waiting for her to go back." Chand looked at Stefan's dark eyes. His eyes turned gentle and were shining upon hearing Chand mentioning his wife.

He knew that Chand was talking about Emmeline. She dropped out of school unwillingly due to certain reasons.

Stefan nodded, "Arrange it. And tonight, I will go to the Astor Entertainment Center to meet Mr. Hughes, to sign the deed to the piece of land in Dat Valley."

"Understood. Oh, the vice president wants to see you in the Astor Entertainment Center tonight as well," said Chand.

"I'll meet him after I sign the deed with Mr. Hughes." Stefan then proceeded to sit in his wheelchair.

"I'm leaving, please handle the rest of the matter." He then pushed himself on the wheelchair out of the door.

Chand opened the door for him and sent him off to the front of the lift. He then walked into the assistant's room and started working again.
