A Miracle Fault novel Chapter 64

"I take you didn't know! Two days ago, Anayah gathered some gangsters, and they were planning on shipping my wife to England. When the police got there halfway, they threw her into the sea. As her father, do you really know none of it?"

"What are you talking about? Emme fell into the sea? Is she alright now?" Shocked by the news, Nicolas suddenly stood up. His hands began to shake. What if something happen to Emmeline?

"If she wasn't alright, I won't so politely ask you to come here!" Stefan raised his head with a look as cold as a steel and an air as wild as a wintry storm.

"What Anayah did, was a crime that would send her behind bars for more than ten or eight years. The reason why she hasn't been trialed is that I had not, for your sake, prosecuted charges. I would leave the matter to your capable hands and hope that you, Mr. Campbell, can offer an answer to my satisfaction! In addition, I hope my absurd marriage with your daughter, Anayah, can be concluded as soon as possible! I want you to begin the divorce procedure at once! If you keep stalling, I am not sure which will come first, my wife's death or the divorce!"

He just stared at Nicolas with those dark eyes of his. The unfathomed glittering in his eyes made Nicolas felt chilly.

"It's a sheer madness! You can rest assure that I will see to it that Anayah is properly disciplined this time! Thank you for your mercy! I promise that I will give you an acceptable answer!" then Nicolas jumped up, getting ready to leave.

"Mr. Campbell!" Stefan called.

Nicolas advancing steps halted at the doorway before he turned around.

"Emmeline is the Mrs. Stefan, my wife. And under no circumstances will I allow anyone to harm her!"

Too many contents were hidden in Stefan's eyes.

Nodding, Nicolas pushed the door out and left, while his heart beat was still accelerating. He could sense the sharp hostility in Stefan's look.

In the Campbell's, Nicolas pushed the front door open angrily. The maids were lowering their head and welcomed him, "Your Lordship!"

"Go ask Anayah downstairs!" He felt an irresistible rage.

"Yes!" the servants felt something terrible was about to happen.

Hearing her father's voice, Anayah walked downstairs, feeling rather ominous, "Dad!"

Having seen her father's angry face when he walked near the coach, she started to feel dreadful.

Slap! Nicolas slapped on his daughter's face heavily before Anayah could avoid.

Bruises soon emerged in her pale skin.

Anayah threw her father an unbelievable look. Since her childhood, her father had never hit her!

"Father, What's wrong with you!" She screamed.

"What happened?" hearing her daughter's scream, Lucia walked out of her room.

"What happened? You should ask your daughter what happened! She kidnapped Emmeline and threw her into the sea. This is what your daughter did! That's her sister she tried to murder!" Nicolas's trembling fingers was pointed at Anayah.

Lucia stared at Nicolas with eyes wide-open and said, "What's the nonsense are you talking about? Anayah is so very kind! She won't even harm an ant. How could she possibly have anything to do with Emmeline's kidnapping?"

Nicolas glared at his wife harshly, "Why don't you ask herself? If I haven't begged for Stefan's mercy, she would have already been sent into prison!"

Lucia turned around and looked at Anayah, "Honey, is this true. Was it really you?" She still had trouble believing that her daughter would be capable of such a thing. It must be Emmeline's lie, that treacherous bitch! It had to be!

"YES! It's me! I want that bitch dead!" Anayah covered her face while giving Nicolas a secret stare.

"She had stolen my marriage and refused to give it back. I am Stefan's wife and the righteous Mrs. Stefan. Why should she occupy his house and his love? That bitch even asked Stefan to hit me."

So angry, Nicolas slapped Anayah again, "How dare you want your sister dead? You forced her to marry Stefan, how dare you to requite kindness with enmity? What the devil have I done to deserve you as my daughter?"

Lucia prevented his slap from falling on Anayah again, "Honey, you must not beat Anayah. Emeline is still quite alive yet."

Seeing them cuddling together, Nicolas gnashed his teeth, "This is your daughter, you should clean up her mess yourself! If Emmeline is dead, do you think you can still stand here? Maybe we will all be doomed!"

He pointed at Anaya again, "You need to prepare your papers and get the divorce thing sorted out. Or you could wait here for the court's summon and your imprisonment!"

"No, Father! I will never divorce him! Even if Stefan doesn't love me, I am still his legal wife, the Mrs. Stefan. I will have my place! I won't let that bitch get too comfortable unless I am dead!" She ran upstairs while still crying

Nicolas glared at Lucia, "See what you do! You spoiled her too much! Now, you go get the problem fixed!" Then he left the house without saying another word.

After night fell, Frank sat in a private box in a dim bar with a woman in her arms and drinks in his mouth.

"Master Frank, you are drunk. Do you still need my company tonight?"

Frank observed the lady in his arms. The red lips reminded him of Anayah, of how she plotted to kidnap Emmeline in order to gain Stefan's fortune.

The mindless woman, to think that he used to love her for so long, he felt it was so foolish

His mouth mildly curved, "Want me to stay? How would you serve me!"

"Naughty! You know the drill……" the lady gave his jaw a coquettish kiss.

With a quick swallow, Frank finished the wine in his cup and left it alone. Then he lowered his head to kiss the lady's lips.

Anayah called Frank over and over again, but none was answered.

She smashed her phone at the wall.

The second day, Emmeline went to university and saw Lena. "Lena, where is Agnes?"

"She had left, for France. She cried when she left. Emmeline, why you two are always like this? She didn't want to go to France, but her grandfather is a man who is always true to his words!" Lena told Emmeline sadly.

The sun was rising slowly near the end of their vision. Emmeline knew that the fate could never be influenced by anyone's wishes. She dabbed Lena's shoulder and said, "Let's go to the classroom. We all have our own fate to watch over us. She will be all right! Don't worry!"

"Yes!" Lena held her hands tightly, "Are you alright? I heard you have been kidnapped the other day. The whole university knew it. The handsome man in wheelchair had gone to the principal's office for you."

"Um, I am fine now. See, I am still in one piece." Emmeline wondered why Stefan came to see the principal.

A week later, Lena and Emmeline took the final exam. During the intense three days, Stefan did not interrupt her. He would drive her to university every morning and pick her up every night. He even lent her his study room.

However, once in a while, he would sneak in with the slip of his wheelchair and grab her tiny stature for some hours of kissing. Emmeline was accustomed to this man's possessive and unreasonable nature.

After the exam, summer holiday began. Anayah had kept her nose low for the time being. No one had made any trouble.

While the company, with Stefan at its helm, had been led to a wealthy development, having signed many contracts with several European countries, and the possibility of new trade opportunities had been growing as well.

Seeing this, Frank was more upset than ever. The prospects of the profitable management of the company by this cripple had never laid any ground in his faith. And now the company's development had proved even better than before.

Unsettling fears started to erode his heart.
