Hell Marriage

Chapter 45: did you pull this miserable Stunt?

Ava’s POV

I danced with a tall man, then a short man, I lost count of their faces, finally the music stopped, and it was time for some serious business, the party was coming to an end, I walked up to my seat, escorted by my last dance partner,

He handed me down to my seat, and scurried away quickly, I wondered what happened to the poor man, then I saw Connor’s glare, he was still glaring at man’s retreating back.

I laughed lightly.

“He’s not your enemy, he’s one of the orphanage home trustee” I tapped his arm, smiling at him.

“Never said he was” He replied shortly.

“Hmmn, oh really?” I asked teasingly.

“Yeah” He replied.

“You enjoyed the party?” I asked, changing the topic.

“Like I could, it was torture to watch you dance with other guys” He grumbled underneath.

“You said something?” I asked lightly.

“Nope” He denied, and I smiled

“I heard you say something…..”

“It’s nothing” He replied shortly.

“Are you sure?” I pestered him, amusing myself at his expense.

“Yes, look why don’t……”

“Now, we’ll Call Mr Connor Donnacha, for his thank you speech.” The master of ceremony announced. Forcing our conversation to halt.

Every body clapped as he walked up to the stage, collecting the microphone.

The lights were focused on him, and for the first time in a long time, I remember how I met him, and I remember how handsome I thought he was.

“Before anything…..” He started, but I couldn’t concentrate, A maid tapped my arm.

“What is it?” I asked, giving her my full attention.

“A lady awaits you at that conner.” She said pointing.

“Tell her to wait, if it’s so important to see me, take her…..”

“Madam, she looks like she’s in a hurry, she said what she is about to tell you will change everything, and if she doesn’t tell you now, she’ll never be able to do so again.” The maid said hurriedly.

Should I leave the ball to go see whoever it is?, Connor just started speaking and…. Wait she said, it’s so important to see me now, and she has something to tell me, something very important, I glanced over at Connor, I hear him speak everyday, but what if?……

“Just a minute, I’ll be there in a minute” I whispered to the maid.

I took a minute to compose myself, then I rose from my seat, steadily. I walked over to the direction where the maid had pointed to.

“Hello” I called out softly. But no one answered.

‘Go back Ava, you’ll only get in trouble.’ Arya talked suddenly. I was startled for a a second.

“Oh woah, after a long time of ignoring me, you spoke up now?, and for what reason?, to lecture me?, save me?” I asked aloud

“Ava you don’t have to ……” Suddenly Someone pulled me deeper into the shadows, breaking Arya’s words.

I stood before, a person, dressed in black, including his or her mask.

“Who’re you?, what do you want?” I asked, annoyingly

“No need to get annoyed, I’m here to give you something…..”

“What do you want to give me?” I asked.

“Just a little tip off.” The person delved onto his or her pocket, bringing out something and putting it into my palms.

“And here’s a little advice angel, you’re playing with fire here, make sure not to get burned” The voice sound utterly Feminine. She slipped away in the darkness.

I became aware of the paper in my hands. I was tempted to take a look and see what’s inside, but I held back and went back to my seat, I glanced around, no one was looking in my direction, every one’s attention was on Connor.

I opened the folded paper on my laps, I gasped at what I saw.

YOUR HUSBAND IS A MURDERERText © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

HE KILLED HIS MOTHER AND BROTHER

YOU’RE LIVING WITH A FLESH EATER!

I could feel blood drain away from my face, I didn’t know how long I sat there, staring at the paper. I couldn’t hear anything, people were murmuring, and Connor was talking, a song was playing in the back ground, but I was slipping farther away, it felt as if my scalp was being pricked by many niddles.

Alaina’s POV

I walked around the room, I couldn’t focus on anything else except Carrissa, what if she gets caught?

What if my plan fails.

Some one entered suddenly, and slammed the door. Oh no!.

I turned around swiftly to see who it was.

I heaved a sigh of relieve, she untied her mask and lowered it down.

“Did you get the Job done?” I asked studying her pale face.

“Fuck it was damn hard……”

“Did you?” I asked, honestly I don’t care if it was hard or not, I want to know if she did it or not.

“Yeah” She drawled, sitting down on a sofa.

“Good, now after tomorrow’s stroke, she’ll hate him so much, she’ll leave the palace on her own.” I smirked, my plan’s going smoothly.

“Tomorrow?, you’re planning to do something else?, but…..”

“Yes, I’m planing something else” I told her.

“But, after tonight she’ll leave, why do you need…..”

“Use your brain old maid, just showing her some writing on a piece of paper, won’t make her leave so easily, we’ve planted doubt, now we have to let that doubt, bloom, and we’ll water the doubt”

I explained to her.

“But….. anyways it’s your plan and if it fails, or you get caught it’s none of my business, the less I’m involved in it the better for me, even though I love it here, I’ve got to get back to the dungeon.” She said, standing up and moving towards the door.

“Stop right there!” I said in a low deadly tone, I could muster.

She turned slowly.

“What now?” She asked, staring at me.

“You’re going nowhere, at least not until the job has been done” I informed Her

Moving to seat on my bed.

“Are you crazy?” She asked, eyes widened.

“Nope, you’re the crazy one for refusing to destroy Ava and taking her place” I tempted her, a look came into her eyes, greedy bitch, I’m gonna kill you before you lay your filthy hands on Connor ever again!.

She studied me.

“And you?” She asked, understanding her perfectly but choosing to act.

“Me what?” I raised a brow.

“What are you gonna gain from this?, don’t tell me you’re doing this for me, because I know you hate me as well as I hate you, we’re only partners because we have a common enemy, so what are you gaining from this?, and why are you doing this?” She asked.

I rolled my eyes, of all things, she’s concerned with my involvement, maybe she should be, if I was in her position, I’d be concerned too, maybe she’s not really as stupid as she looks after all, but she’s not so smart either, unlike her I would have known my enemy’s intentions. I smirked.

“If you really want to know then I’ll tell you”

Allan’s POV

“Are you sure about tomorrow?” He asked as soon as I entered his office.

“Yes sir, Vina called and informed me herself” I replied him.

“Well maybe I should inform Jaguar after all.” He said, rising from his chair.

“Absolutely sir” I replied, staring straight ahead. He moved to leave.

“But remember” He looked at me.

“Sir?”

“If things does not go according to plan, I’ll kill you before Jaguar gets to know about it.” He threatened.

I straightened my shoulders, I’m not afraid of dying.

“And your sister too, I’ll have my dogs rape and kill her” I shuddered at the mention of my sister.

By dogs he meant his boys.

I’ll kill you bastard if you dare hurt a single hair on my sister’s head, even after death, I’ll come back and destroy you. I wanted to tell him that but I simply said, I understand.

He went out of the office, leaving the door open, he probably went to tell Jaguar about the new event. I was shaking with rage, I need to call Vina.

I dialed her number and she answered on the first ring.

“Vina?” I asked

“Vina here” she replied. Good.

“Your Tickets” I said simply

“Where do I pick them?” She asked, it sounded like she was walking.

“Pick them at…..”

Carrissa’s POV

“If you really want to know then I’ll tell you” Alaina said, the smirk still on her face.

I stood silently,

“I’ve got an old score to settle with Connor” She said, studying her nails.

“An old score with Connor?, how come, what’s it about?, and why do you want to hurt Ava, if your problem is with Connor?” I asked, I really don’t understand.

“A long time ago, Connor did something to me, and it’s pay back time” She said, not looking at me.

“I don’t understand” I said.

“You don’t need to, but if I want to get to Connor, and get even with him, I have to hurt him by using Ava, since I can’t hurt him physically” She said.

“Ohhh” I said, I get it now, so she wants to hurt Connor by killing Ava.

“You should be concerned about how this will benefit you, and how my involvement will help you and stop asking me questions.” She said, staring straight at me.

I see now, I should actually be thanking her, she has been helping me after all, by getting rid of Ava, she’s actually doing me a favor. I’ll be able to get close to Connor and finally be his queen!, I’ll be able to rule and drink blood whenever I want, different foods, clothes, money will all be mine!.

“Are you sure that’s the only thing you want?, you’re only doing this to get even with Connor and nothing else?, and you won’t start wanting more after all thus is done, and Ava is out of the way?” I asked, I need to be sure of her intention.

“Yes, it all I want, I won’t be wanting or needing more after she’s out of the way, you can have whatever you want, happy now?” She glared at me,

“Yes I’m happy” I said, a huge smile on my face, I wanted to start celebrating right away. But….

“But I’ve got to go back…” I started to say.

“Why?” She asked, raising her perfectly shaped brow.

“The guards…..”

“Are going to sleep for two days, without anyone disturbing them.” She said, easily.

“The portion is that strong?” I asked, my eyes widening.

“More than you’ll ever know” She said, studying her red painted nails once more.

“But the maids, will bring them food….”

“I’ve taken care of that” She said.

“Ohhhhh” She thought of everything, woah, I don’t have to worry.

“Now, here’s what you’ll do”

Ava’s POV

“Ava?” Someone called gently, the voice reached me in my darkest place and pulled me from there.

I woke from my…. Let’s call it trance.

I saw Connor bent over me, I stared at him, Murderer, the note has said, my Connor is a murderer,

“The party’s over, the guests are leaving, come let’s greet them.” He pulled me up gently. I yanked my hand away from his. This is all a prank, only one person could have done this, I glanced around and sported him in the crowd.

“I don’t feel like greeting anyone” I said, I walked stiffly away from him.

“Come with me” I whispered to him in the crowd.

“Ava, the party…”

“I don’t care about the party!, come with me right now.” I pulled his hand, as I moved blindly , out of the ball room, I pulled him along, tears stung my eyes, I can’t believe he did this after everything.

“Ava slow down, my arm’s hurting” He gapsed.

I climbed the stairs, pulling him along.

I opened the door, of the first room I saw.

I pulled him inside. He yanked his hand away.

“What’s all this madness Ava?” He said.

I shoved the paper in his face. He grabbed it and opened it.

“Did you pull this Miserable stunt Cyprian Donovan?” I yelled.
