Five Lost Angels: My Husband's Fatal Deception novel Chapter 206

In the heat of the moment, my beloved fiancé accepted Leo’s challenge to shut off his nonsense. So, I took it as the need of the hour and moved on in my life.

Despite Leo’s disturbance, my engagement ceremony was hit, the pictures came out stunning, surprisingly. The photographers carefully omitted the section where Leo disrupted the peace and sent me a beautiful video, warming my heart.

We watched it together as a family in my villa. My little angels were all smiles to see us on the stage.

"Mommy, you look like a fairy from heaven in a pink dress."

Zoe was awestruck by this rare event of my formal dressing. Jane’s condition wasn’t different from him too, she snuggled to my chest and demanded coquettishly.

"Mommy, you are looking so pretty. I want this same dress at your wedding.

I will be the most important part of the ceremony."

Jane would be the flower girl, so the list of her cute requests was long. Bright acted like a doting father and assured her.

"We will buy everything for you, my princess. Daddy will take you to the mall."

"That will be awesome!" Henry was relaxed to hear Bright’s confirmation. He sighed in relief.

"I am really tired of following two energetic kids in the mall. They run around freely and won’t listen to me.

Good luck shopping!"

Henry’s statement gave Bright a chance to tease him, he grinned widely.

"Get married before it’s too late, Henry. Raising kids can be a tiring job for an elder."

"What? Elder?

What are you talking about?"

Henry cried out in disbelief, "I am only twenty-seven years old. How can you call me an elder?"

We all laughed at Henry’s dumbstruck facial expressions, it was so fun to mess with him a bit. He glared at Bright and threatened.

"I won’t be your best man at the wedding, Bright. You can find another person for it!" And walked out of the living room as a protest, Bright shot up to follow him.

"Gosh, your brother is such a baby, Laura. He can’t even take a joke."

Their Tom and Jerry like friendship showed me a glimpse of our happy future where we would live in harmony as a family, making my heart sing. But my imaginary world was shattered by Zoe’s comment, he sounded worried.

"Uncle Henry must wait until the results of Saturday’s match. The bridegroom hasn’t been chosen yet, so how can he be the best man?"

Zoe’s words hit my head with a sledgehammer, bringing me back to reality. I asked him for more elaboration.

"What do you mean that the groom isn’t decided? Don’t you know that I am marrying your daddy?"

"Not anymore!" Jane replied to me and took out her cell phone.

"Look, mommy! Everyone is saying that your groom isn’t confirmed.

You can either marry daddy Bright or dad Leo after an ice hockey match."

Bright got serious all of a sudden, his voice was laced with suppressed fury as he spoke.

"Listen, Laura!

I am not a saint. There is a limit to my patience as well. Leo is habitual of interfering in our lives, but I won’t allow him anymore.

This needs to end!"

Bright voiced out his anger about Leo’s arrival at the party before, but I didn’t catch a whiff of vengeance from it. He was adamant on ending Leo’s topic for once and for all now. He spoke with determination.

"Leo has given me the perfect opportunity to silence him in the rink. So, I won’t miss out on this chance to pop the bubble of his wishful thinking."

This conversation made me realize that there was no use arguing with Bright, he had already picked his path. So, I decided to stand by him like a good partner. We should stick together for every challenge in our life.

When the day came, I went to watch the final battle of love with my kids. The flock of journalists welcomed me at the entrance.

"Miss Laura, please come with us for a pre-match media talk. Your two suitors are waiting for you in the press hall."

What the heck!

Bright gave me three tickets for the VIP enclosure and begged me to cheer on him from the stands. This media grilling wasn’t a part of our deal. He didn’t even bother to give me a heads-up.

As my lovely fiancé had underestimated my patience, I swore to teach him a lesson and agreed to a presser.

"I would love to answer your friendly questions, honorable reporters!"
