Five Lost Angels: My Husband's Fatal Deception novel Chapter 86

He pressed the button of his automatic wheelchair and stopped right before me, yelling hysterically.

“I didn’t think even once before saving your life, hoping that you will realize that I love you more than myself. Then how can you not believe me, Laura?

What should I do to win your trust?”

With that, he burst into tears, the nurse immediately put an oxygen mask on his face to save him from an attack. I closed my mouth, glancing at him from head to toe, the unshakable effect of his words being true unsettled me.

But I feigned anger and shot back at him.

“What’s your problem, Leo? Why can’t you just stay in the hospital and recover? Don’t you know you have a son who is waiting for you?”

Ignoring his love-struck queries, I focused on the most important matter, requesting that nurse.

“Please take him back to the hospital. He is unwell …”

“You can’t send me back!”

Leo took off the mask and shouted, “I am not a child you can boss around, Laura. You need to answer me clearly.

Why am I not good enough?”

Leo’s fear of my marriage during his hospital stay baffled me, he thought that I was taking advantage of his temporary absence.

“Look, Leo. This is my personal matter. And rest assured, I will send you an invitation three months before my wedding.

You can be my husband’s best man as well.”

“No!”

Leo slouched his shoulders and spoke bleakly.

“I want to be the only man in your life, Laura. In fact, I am your husband. Our previous marriage certificate was cancelled because of your fake death.

Now, I can file a petition to get a new one as you are alive.”

God!

What should I do now?

Leo’s legal team had come up with a new idea to trap me again, supporting their maniac boss. I was struck speechless by his mastery. His efforts to piss me off short-circuited my brain as he begged pitifully.

“Please Laura, let me live for a week in your Villa. I will work as a servant to serve you.

Dressed in his office clothes, Bright took long strides and flashed by my side. I straightened up as he said,

“Leo, when a lady says no, it’s not a challenge but a clear representation of her wishes. You must respect Laura’s decision and move on in your life. It’s good for everyone.”

“Oh, just shut up, Bright.”

Leo scoffed, raising his brow, “No one needs your advice. And if you love to preach, go and be a preacher. Stop interfering in our lives.”

His rude remarks were just provocation, but Bright didn’t give in. He spoke calmly after his initial outburst.

“You are mistaken, Leo. I am not preaching but simply stating facts. You are wasting your time and energy. It’s of no use.

Laura and I are engaged, and we will marry soon. It’s not going to change.”

That was a delicious moment when Leo’s face washed blank with shock, like his brain cogs couldn’t turn fast enough to take in the information.

“M-Marriage?” He stuttered, carried away by emotions, “Why are you fooling Laura, Bright?

I know you are courting my love just because of our rivalry. I am the reason you were released from the company’s contract five years ago. But Laura has nothing to do with it. Why don’t you fight with me like a man?”
