Five Lost Angels: My Husband's Fatal Deception novel Chapter 209

"We won!"

Jane and Zoe danced in glee, letting their pleasure shine through. They voiced their nervousness.

"We were so scared for daddy, mommy. He has made a great comeback in the game."

Because of my tension, I was oblivious to my little angels' condition. It turned out that they were also secretly rooting for Bright's success. Their love and affection for their daddy gave me butterflies in my stomach. I was overjoyed to be on the same page with them.

I clapped for the team's victory until the boys celebrated it in their usual way, giving each other high-fives and hugs. It was indeed so difficult for me to hold back for the initial five minutes. Then I walked out of the audience stand to meet my Bright. My beloved fiancé, the love of my life, had proved his talent through his matchless performance. I was so proud of him.

Almost running, I made my way among the sea of energetic fans, cheering for Bright's win. They all hooted and whistled to see me sprinting towards my fiancé.

Bright spotted me in the crowd and stepped forward, spreading his arms like a romantic hero for me. My cheeks burned as I crossed the thick layer of security staff and crashed in his arms, wrapping my arms around his waist. I was like a shorter girl for my over six feet tall, athletic fiancé.

The warmth of his love enveloped my entire existence in his embrace. His loving hugs were the only magic that had kept my heart beating through hard times. His warm breath fanned my ear as he lowered his head and spoke huskily.

"I did it, Laura. You are mine!

Any doubt?"

That seductive whisper was the lock that sealed my fate, destroying all types of hurdles in our way. I snuggled into his chest and poured out my heartfelt emotions.

"Yes, I am only yours, Bright. I love you!"

"I love you too, Laura!"

These seconds felt like forever, calming the yearning for my wounded soul. I had finally tasted the first drop of rain after a long dry spell. I wanted this moment to never end, but the thought of the other party's violent actions made me restless. I prepared myself for Leo's bitterness after losing, he was a sore loser to begin with.

Bright's large hand was resting on my waist as I turned my face to my ex, his deep gaze was staring at us intently. He spoke sharply.

"If we analyze all the past matches, my winning rate has always been as twice as yours.

You only won this season's championship because I was unfit. But today!"

Unlike my expectations, Leo only used words instead of his fists. His surprisingly calm and collected behavior was in contrast to his short temper. Bright was also shocked to hear Leo's serious statement, but he went with the flow.

"It wasn't a one-sided match, Leo. You played exceptionally well.

Winning and losing are the parts of a game. There can only be one winner."

"I played well?"

Leo sighed, slouching his shoulders.

"Yet, you are the one who won, Bright. It was the most important match of my life and despite my outstanding career and years of experience, I lost to you.

This must be fate!"

Leo and fate?

Holy cow!

These two completely opposite words in one sentence were hard to digest, but his sportsman spirit evaporated my worry into thin air. Leo accepted his defeat with dignity in front of the whole Lakon city.

"Congratulations on winning this challenge fair and square, Bright Wilson. I wish you a happy married life with Laura."

Bright smiled softly and nodded, "Thanks, Leo. I truly appreciate it."

However, Leo wasn't done with his speech, he added gravely.

"Don't repeat my mistakes and take good care of Laura. If I find out that you have been bad to her, I won't let you off the hook."

"Que sera, sera, Leo. Don't get all worked up!" Bright chuckled, speaking light-heartedly.

"I am not aware that you have added your name to the list of Laura's brothers. But you won't get any complaints from me."

Leo scowled, saying that he couldn't be my brother and stomped out of the rink. We both laughed at his protest and thanked inwardly for concluding the topic of noisiness.

I was set to ask Bright about the engagement ring when he questioned me out of the blue.

"Laura, what if I hadn't won? Would you marry Leo as promised?"

As promised???

When did I mention that this stupid bet would decide my future?

The horror was written in bold letters on Bright's forehead as he reminded me about the pre-match presser.
