Forced Marriage: My Wife, My Redemption by Lilyheart

Chapter 70: Fall to death...

"Sister-in-law, aren't you tired?" Jessica's voice was calm and teasing, as she pulled Vera upright with ease.

Vera's felt the air knocked out of her lungs, her fingers instinctively tightening on Jessica's arm before she

quickly released her, she readjusted her dress as though she is covering up her embarrassment while she steals

glances at Davis who had remained in the hallway her eyes glistening with unshed tears.

Davis's gaze flickered between the two women, his expression unreadable. He hadn't missed how effortlessly

Jessica had caught Vera, nor the way she now stood unbothered, as if she had already predicted Vera's little

stunt.

"Jessica..." Vera's voice trembled, her hands fidgeting, as though she has been wronged. "I didn’t mean to... | just

lost my balance, and I..." She bit her lip as if struggling to find the right words. She glanced at Davis whose gaze

never shifted from them.

"Davis, you can testify that..." She started "Testify for what?" His cold voice interrupted in a timely manner that it

sent shivers down her spine. She glared at him in her heart while maintaining a weak composure. "I'm ...sorry"

Jessica shrugged lightly, her gaze not leaving Vera's face. She can even make out what her thinking is as she

studied her changing and struggling contenance.

"You should be more careful next time," Jessica said smoothly, her eyes gleaming with amusement. "Falling on

the stairs could be quite dangerous, you know?"

"May be you might break your hand, ...or your beautiful face might be riddled with scars or worst case

scenario.... " Jessica's narrowed her eyes contemplatively and her voice reduced to a bitting coldness "death."

Vera swallowed hard and shivered at the mention of death, while shifting uncomfortably under Jessica's steady

gaze. She had intended to create a misunderstanding, to test Davis but...instead, she ended up being

embarrassed looking foolish.

Davis finally spoke, his voice cool. "Sister-in-law, if you're feeling weak, you should see a doctor instead of

wandering around the house and getting yourself into trouble."

Vera stiffened, "who is weak? Who should see a doctor?" She fumed internally as she realized Davis wasn't

taking the bait. Forcing a smile, she nodded. "Of course. I'll be more careful next time."

Jessica simply chuckled, stepping past her. As she did, she whispered softly, just enough for Vera to hear:

"Next time, make sure you actually fall or I might help you may be you will fall to your death" Jessica smirked.

Vera's face turned pale as Jessica walked away, her heart pounding in frustration. It seems she has really

underestimated this young lady. With all pleasure, she don’t mind taking it higher.

Jessica sauntered over to where Davis sat at the hallway close to their bedroom. He had just cout of the

bedroom when Vera stopped Jessica. He had expected her to act but didn’t expect Jessica to handle her

efficiently.

"Why are you out? Aren't you getting ready?" She queried with a smile.

Davis smiled lightly and pulled her closer to his side while his hand wraps around her waist. Been on the

wheelchair, made Jessica taller. "Are you really certain | should go with you?"

"Or what did you think?" Jessica asked him while she pulled away from him and gently pushed him into the room

they laughter echoing through the hallway.

Vera stared at them with fury in her eyes, her fist clenched by her side. "How dare she?" She muttered.

"Are you unhappy with them?" Aaron questioned and Vera stiffened. She didn’t know when he cout. She

quickly gathered her composure and turned around. A forced smile on her lips "I told you | am coming."

"Yes, you did and never came. So, | have to cbut it is unfortunate and disgracing that my wife will be lusting

after another man", he said with a slow cold menacing tone.

Aaron had been at the door all along, he never went in because he wants to see what Vera plans to do but then

she had plotted against Jessica only to lose again.

He couldn't help but wonder if he had really made the right choice or had he drowned himself in foolishness. But

it seems to be the later...

"You are misunderstandingAaron. Besides, | only spoke with Jessica for a few seconds", Vera sneered, her

voice tinged with anger.

"I misunderstood you? How Vera? At the dinning table, what do you mean when you stare at another man? In the

presence of my family? Tell, | misunderstood you? When all you think about is how to push Jessica out and

probably... Probably take over her spot" Aaron questioned.

His gaze ablaze with fury, his body trembling in anger, his fist clenched in frustration. He is really loosing it and

tand tagain she has pressed his wrong button.

"Aaron, you marvel me?" Vera smirked while walking to him in a firm calculated step, her face brimming with

mockery, her words dripping with sarcasm.

"You are already feeling threatened? You feel you are losing everything in your grasp seeing Davis living a good

life? Aaron, you know this isn’t aboutrather...?"

"It isn’t about you? Do you think it is about who?" He bellowed interrupting her. He really wanted to open this

woman's brain to see what is inside.

"It... is..about your egoistic nature." She stated, her glare fierce.

"Vera, are you talking about my ego when it was your greed for the Allen family fortune that made you turn your

back on him even when his life and death is unknown?"
