HIS REVENGE OR LOVE? 2
Laurence was standing in front of his and Lance's photo all ready in his wedding attire. He was getting married in a few hours.
Laurence Lin
I promise Lance I'll take your revenge. She rejected your love because of her so-called love. I'll make sure she never gets the love she yearns for. I lost you because of her, and she'll lose everything she owns in her life. Furthermore, I'll never forgive her for snatching you from us. I promise Lance.
He said and wiped the tear that fell from his eyes. Just then the door to his roopened and and his mother entered with a not so good expression on her face.
It seemed like she had heard everything and her next statement proved it.
Ariana Lin
What is all this Laurence? Revenge? What revenge?
She didn't want to assume anything. Laurence wasn't here when everything happened and he didn't know the actual truth was. She didn't want him to do anything rashly.
He said looking away. He didn't want to stress her. It was his problem and he'll deal with it.
Ariana Lin
I don't know what you think, but I have known Adella since she was 4. She and Lance have always been inseparable. And his death was a sore topic for her. Still is. She is too innocent my child, and too kind. You will keep hurting her,, and she will keep thinking good about you. Don't do anything you will regret later on.
Laurence looked away and went into deep thought.
Ariana Lin
I know Adella too well. She can never do what you are assuming. She used to get distressed if Lance was slightly hurt or in trouble
She saw Laurence in deep thoughts and smiled.
Ariana Lin
After Lance's death she too was broken like us. Today after so long I have seen the shine back in her eyes. Don't let that shine fade away Laurence. I can only console you, rest those decisions of yours will affect your life.
She said and left leaving him thinking everything.
A rational part of him was convinced that his mother was correct and Adella couldn't do anything like that, but his love for his baby brother overpowered his sense of thinking.
He still remembered how he had found him when he returned from London. He was Wrapped in white sheets, face completely white and body lying lifeless inside that coffin.
His baby brother who was full of life was lying lifeless there. The scene completely Broke him. And the words written in his diary were still fresh in his mind as if he had read them just yesterday
He looked at himself in the mirror like a determined man. He had decided. He Would not accept her until he gets sure of the truth.
The next few hours seemed like a blur. Everything seemed to have happened so fast and the next he knew he was married to the woman he despised.
She looked into his eyes, he was surprised to see the beautiful glint in her eyes, and shy smile adorning her lips. She Looked happy. Genuinely happy. And she looked at him with eyes filled with love.
He didn't know when but his lips curled up automatically, and he gave her a microscopic smile making her lower her head in shyness.
They were soon sent off to their home after reception
She was sitting beside him sniffing and looking out when she felt a handkerchief kept on her lap.
She looked towards him and saw him looking out of the other window. She couldn't see his face, but a smile formed on her lips at his gesture
She mumbled a small thank you and wiped her tears.
She went to his room which was now hers too, and sat on the bed.
The room was decorated tastefully, and she lowered her head thinking about what would happen tonight
She loved him and was ready to be his wholeheartedly but was too shy to make the first move.
She waited for quite a time and glanced at the clock when he didn't come for almost an hour.
She was getting tired now
Adella Snow
Maybe he is stuck somewhere. His cousins are very mischievous and maybe they stopped him.
Adella Snow
Should I change my clothes? They are itching
She looked at the door and carefully got up. She changed her clothes and cleaned her face. She removed her hairpins and after about half an hour she was all ready for bed, but he was nowhere.
She sat on the bed resting her head on the headrest and waited for him not realizing when sleep took over her, and she slept in the same position.
It was almost 7 in the morning when Laurence finally entered the room. He saw her sleeping in the sitting position with a pillow clutched to her chest and head rested back on the headboard.
He ignored her, and went to change his suit. When he came back out after shower she was still sleeping peacefully which bothering him a lot and he banged the bathroom door a little too loud, waking her up with a startled jerk.
She looked at him and gave him a lazy smile.
Adella Snow
You came? Where were you. I was waiting.
She said softly almost melting his heart, but Lance's dead face flashed in front of his eyes and his expression hardened.
He did not bother replying and just laid on his side facing his back to her and closed his eyes.
She came near him and caressed his face
Adella Snow
Are you feeling unwell?
She asked and he groaned in annoyance and anger.
Laurence Lin
Will you shut up and let me sleep?
She chuckled and shook her head.
Adella Snow
You are still cranky when sleepy.
She mumbled and kissed his head making his heart flutter. He felt even more angered and disgusted with himself.
Laurence Lin
(What's wrong with me?)
He should be hating her touch but instead his heart was fluttering at her actions and words.
