Lonely Bride

SARAH’S POV

When I was looking at the lovey-dovey couple, the person who was behind the wall came into my vision.

I again looked at my father and smiled, thinking how deeply he must hate me.

‘Camilla the Chameleon’

Well, honestly, I wasn’t a bit surprised looking at her. She has always given me negative vibes, and knowing she is connected to them did not affect me much.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“It’s not me; it’s her. She is too good at seducing. And see the result in front of you,” she said, looking at my belly disgustingly.

I so wanted to take out that tongue of hers, but I controlled my rage because I didn’t want to waste my energy on this trash.

Giving her a bored expression, I looked back at my father, who was again looking at me with his wife while holding his hands like a teenager.

“Father, don’t mind her. As you have already seen her, she is good for nothing, so let’s ignore her and continue our story.” I give him my best smile and encourage him with my fakeness.

He gave Camilla one look, and for the first time, his expression agreed with mine.

“You..” Camilla was about to speak, but I showed her my palm and stopped her while still waiting for my father to start.

“Then nothing. Our house got the world’s best news about your mother being pregnant.” He scoffed.

And again, he failed to make me feel how unwanted I am.

I smile painfully.

“But why did you blame me all your life and accuse me of being a murderer?” I asked, gulping and forming a knot in my throat.

“Oh, my not-so-cunning child. Don’t you see that it was simple? I wanted someone to blame, and I found you. I wanted everyone’s pity, and I got it. Because until then I needed my father’s support. I knew without him I was still nobody, and before I made my name, I needed his support. I showed him the beautiful picture of how he married me off to someone I did not like, but again, me being a good child, I accepted the faith and started living a good life with your mother.” He smirked cunningly, and I felt nauseated looking at him.

“You know what? I have never seen such a stupid lady in my whole life. Whatever I did with her, she never informed my parents of the same, and I will be thankful to her for this all my life.” My entire concentration was on him and his words. I wish he had some idea of how each of his words was piercing my heart.

Tears finally find their way out. I was looking at him with only expectation: What was my fault?’

“But those cunning foxes again forgot I was their child, and they did what I hated the most.” He spoke, gritting his teeth.

“They give their 50% property to you, 25% to my mother, and 25% to me. And the 25% my mother had will be transferred to you once she bids her final goodbye to the world.” Taking a sip from his glass, he took a pause.

“Perhaps I was ok with that fact too, as I don’t care what you get or how much you get. The problem was that the last will he made kept it hidden from me. I had made enough money because I never trusted my father, so I made my empire, but the way he treated me like an outsider was something I did not like to digest.” Hearing him refreshes my memory about the will and the property he is talking about. I have long since been transferred to Sean, and if he wants me back, what will I do?

And the last will? Which will he be talking about now?

I felt broken when he spoke again. “You know what they did?” He asked, and I scrunched my eyebrows to know more than I had until now. I wasn’t getting anything.

“The will read after my father’s death wasn’t his last will. His last will was kept hidden by my mother, and I got to know about it after your marriage. And you know what is written in that?” He asked mockingly, and I just stared at him without any emotion.

I was feeling numb.

I feel hurt.

“That the entire property of Williams will be given to you. I had no issues with that either. I went to my mother and asked her to give me the company I made with my heart, soul, and house. Because that house had many memories, which include my childhood and many more. I did not want to leave those two things. That day, my mother told me my father knew all his life what I did in my life. He knew I had found Elliana, and we are in contact again. Moreover, they had an idea how I had treated your mother. Hence, they did not want to give me a single penny.” He scoffed at saying this.

“I said I just needed company, nothing else. Because the William group wasn’t a small name. It’s a big name, and it’s my identity. And I was ok with everything, but not with this.” He started taking deep breaths, clenching his jaw tight.

“However, I needed the will to know what exactly was written on it. I still have a small home because my father will never do such things with me.

Finally, I used my sources and got hold of a will, saying the entire property would be transferred to you. And the moment you have children, it will be an automatic transfer to them.

But you know what a big mistake my father made? And I am sure he must have got a little emotional while writing this, and I believe he wanted these properties to stay under the Williams, hence the bizarre clause saying, If anything happens to you before you have your children, the property will be transferred to the next living William, and that of course is me.” He smirks.

As if some cold water had dropped on my body, I shivered.

Now everything started getting clear for me one by one, and I felt so stupid all of a sudden.

“I was never interested in anything apart from the company. But again, getting the entire property will make me one of the strongest people in the world, and I would never let that opportunity go to a filthy self like you.” He smiled cunningly, but again his smile left, and I gave him a deadly glare, which made me numb.

“But that bastard husband of yours made the security work for you like a whirlpool. Whenever my people try to reach you, they always fall on their faces. His security roams with you like your shadow.

I was so happy when you ran away from him not only once, but twice. The first time I did not do anything, but the second time I made sure he hated you to the core. I did everything in my power to do so. Even I sent this bombshell to seduce him, but that fellow was hell-bent on stubbornness.” He shakes his head in disgust.

I felt disgusted by the thought that this man was the reason I was on this planet.

And he is the sole reason for all my misery, all my pain, and all my loneliness.

I wanted to hit him. I wanted to abuse him. Each cell of my body was raging in fury.

But my eyes were teary, and I felt so helpless today. I was so useless today.

“You know, she even changed your last love letter as well.” He smirked, saying this and looking at Camilla, and for the first time, my eyes shifted to my father and stopped on Camilla, who was smirking proudly at her.
