Chapter 2 An Accident
Chapter 2 An Accident
In the pitch-black night, the Fu Clan's villa stood out like a shining beacon. It was decked in bright lights and looked gorgeous.
It was deathly silent on the second floor. Windy, who was about to go to sleep, suddenly heard an ambiguous sound. It seemed it was coming from the room next to hers.
Frowning, Windy opened the door and walked out of her room to inspect. She walked very quietly to the door of the next room and a woman's seductive groan fell in her ears.
"Hmm! Shawn, hurry up!"
Her words stabbed Windy's heart like a sharp knife. She felt suffocated. She bit her lip and stiffened.
The woman in the room was her sister, Carol Fu, and the one who she called to was Windy's fiance, a man she loved with all her heart and soul.
Windy allowed the tears to flow from her eyes, but she refused to stand by and watch her sister take away the man who belonged to her.
She put her delicate hand on the handle of the door and turned it. As soon as the door opened, she saw Shawn and Carol Fu naked.
"Windy!" Carol Fu shouted in mock panic.
Shawn, who had his back toward Windy, was holding Carol Fu in his arms.
Turning his head, he frowned and looked at Windy coldly. He pursed his thin lips and remained silent.
The scene in front of her made Windy dizzy. She had caught them red-handed, but Shawn remained calm and indifferent. What on earth did he think of her? He was insulting her so casually!
With her head held high, Windy said haughtily, "It seems that I'm disturbing you."
"If you're aware of that, why are you barging in here?" Shawn said in an intimidating tone, clearly irked by her interruption.
His words cut her up.
Tomorrow was their wedding day, and her fiance was cheating on her with her sister right now!
With an enigmatic smile, Windy asked slowly, "So if I had not come in, would you have got what you wanted? Would my sister become the bride tomorrow?
Or do you think I would be angry when I caught you in bed with her and run to Grandpa to cancel the wedding?" Windy demanded.
"W-i-n-d-y!" Shawn gnashed his teeth. She had provoked him now.
Windy glared at him stubbornly, refusing to admit defeat.
Shawn clenched his hand. His deep black eyes bored into her, trying to scald her if he could.
"Shawn?" A soft voice broke the stalemate between them.
Windy looked toward Carol, who was clinging on to Shawn. "I know, it's indeed not right for us to do this, but I really can't stop loving you."
Windy's eyes darkened. She couldn't figure out what was on Carol's mind. Was she trying to play the victim to gain sympathy from Shawn and get back with him?
However, her sister was more cunning than she thought. On the surface, she pretended to care about her and Shawn, but in fact, she wanted to make him feel sorry for her.
"Carol." Shawn turned to look at Carol, and his expression softened in an instant. He was about to say something but she covered his lips with her hand and urged him to swallow his unspoken words.
Carol's eyes were full of tenderness. She was gazing at him with adoration as if he was the only person left in the world. With a gentle smile on her lips, she said, "Please don't say anything. Maybe we are really not meant to be together. You are going to marry Windy tomorrow. Forget about me and treat her well." She sounded so genuine and considerate.
Shawn's icy black eyes softened, and he stayed still, as if he was holding back.
Of course, Windy saw right through Carol as she knew Carol was a hypocrite! Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
Everyone fell silent and tension hung in the air. After a long time, Shawn finally spoke. He said to Carol, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
He had to brainwash himself to say those words. Then he straightened up, smoothed out his clothes, turned around, and started to leave.
However, when he passed Windy, he stopped abruptly. He looked dangerous. The next words that came out of his mouth sent a chill down Windy's spine. "Now, as per your wish, I will marry you tomorrow."
With that, Shawn strode out of Carol's bedroom.
Now only the two sisters were left in the room. Windy looked at Carol, who was slowly tidying up and making a show of it; quite the opposite of the demure and sweet picture she painted of herself only moments before.
"Enough?" Windy asked raising, her eyebrows.
Carol had a smug smile on her face. She stretched lazily and looked at her sister. "Windy, don't think that you will win just because Shawn is willing to marry you. Don't forget that I am the one in his heart," she retorted venomously.
Windy didn't care about Carol's threat. She stared at her sister for a while, then turned around and sauntered out of her bedroom.
She was well aware of the fact that Shawn had eyes only for Carol but it was an accident. Shawn had mistaken Carol for her and fallen for her unexpectedly.
This misleading courtship had lasted for two years, which was a long time for Windy. She couldn't let it last for a lifetime. Therefore, no matter how cruel Shawn was to her, she insisted on marrying him!
