A Miracle Fault

Chapter 2 Business Connections Through Marriage

The black Rolls-Royce flew in the air after breaking out of the fence. It directly hit the ocean after doing a few flips all the way. A huge wave surged up from the surface.

"Emmeline!"

Stefan saw the car flying towards the ocean just like mere dust. He kept shouting crazily. He seemed to lose control and he made a sharp turn. He had an urge to rush into the sea as well! However, he happened to hit the huge steel pillar on the viaduct. His car was bouncing between the pillar and fence. Then it got stuck.

Emmeline slowly sank into the sea with the car. Her ears, her mouth and eyes were all filled with water.

Suddenly, a huge wave attacked the car. Emmeline was thrown out of the car from the broken window. She drifted away. She seemed to hear the laughter of Anayah, "Emmeline, just go to hell! Only then could I gain back my marriage! How dare you be such a shameless bitch stealing my man!"

When she closed her eyes, the charming but painful and regretful face of Stefan actually popped out in her mind, "Emmeline, don't leave me alone! You promise that you will stay with me forever! Don't forget that!"

'Really, did I promise so?'

Then followed the face of her mom, Lucia Walker, "Emmeline, return Stefan back to your sister! You can't do that! Stop being so shameless!"

'Really, but it was you who made me marry him! And now you made me a bitch stealing the man of my sister?'

"Emmeline, come with me. You don't belong here! Let me take you to your real mom! She has been missing you every single day!" Keller Laws once told her with hope.

"Emmeline, I have been waiting for you no matter how long it takes! Emmeline, don't you know that Stefan didn't even love you? If he loved you, why did he still date with another woman when you are pregnant? He doesn't deserve your love!"

Yes, he was right. She shouldn't belong here. She shouldn't stay any longer. It was time for her to leave. But now she only wanted to stay with her baby in the heaven. Now she just wanted to get herself rid of those troubles. She wanted to stay with her baby in another world. Good bye, Stefan! Goodbye, dad! Goodbye, Antonio! Goodbye, Keller! She slowly sank into the sea. She seemed to see the smile of her baby.

…

A year ago, there was an engagement ceremony between the Byrne family and the Campbell family. Actually, the engagement should be between Frank Byrne and Anayah Campbell. However, it turned out to be an engagement between Stefan and Anayah.

"Dad, why? I should be the fiancée of Frank! Why is Stefan now? I won't marry him! I won't marry that cripple!" Anayah kept shouting in the villa of Byrne family.

"Anayah, sorry, daddy could do nothing about it. It was Mr. Edison Bryne who wanted you to engage to Frank, but Stefan requested that he wanted to marry you!" Nicolas said, feeling sorry.

"No, I won't marry him! Dad, you want me to marry that wimp?" Tears streamed down her cheek. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Her mom, Lucia Walker, hurried to comfort her, "Anayah, don't worry! Mom will never let you marry that cripple!" Then she took a glimpse at Nicolas.

Anayah threw herself into her mom's arms, crying sadly.

After comforting her, Lucia sat beside Nicolas, "Honey, they are too aggressive! Anayah's fiancé should be Frank! Why the hell did it turn to be Cripple Stefan?"

Nicholas sighed, "You should know that his grandpa Edison has been concerned with Stefan. What's more, he has been feeling much guiltier of him. He just wants to offer his grandson all the best in the world!"

"But it's none of our business no matter how guilty he is! He shouldn't force Anayah to accept that! Honey, since they broke the promise first, we can also do the same thing!" An idea suddenly popped out in Lucia's mind.

"What are you doing? You should know that Edison has been spoiling Stefan! Edison will give him everything he wants even if he asked for the whole family, not to mention Anayah only!" Nicholas glanced at Lucia.

"Honey, you should know that it was Edison who decided on the engagement between Frank and Anayah. Now he even broke the promise aboveboard! Did he deem that we could do nothing but to bear it? Since Edison has been caring about Stefan, why not make Emmeline marry him? After all, she is known as one of the daughters of our family!" Lucia stared at Nicolas while speaking.

"No way! How could that be?! I can't force Emmeline!" Nicholas looked quite flustered.

"Why not? You still care about her so much? Emmeline is also your daughter!" Lucia kept crying and continued, "She is just your illegitimate daughter! And I didn't even blame you for bringing her back home! Besides, I even raised her up for more than ten years! Nicolas, if you dared to make Anayah marry that cripple, I would definitely divorce you!"

After saying so, she ran upstairs.

Nicolas was left alone in the parlor, frowning while leaning against the sofa. When he tried his best to bring Emmeline back home, he was force to face a storm attacking her.

At that time, he did all his best to protect her. His only wish was to raise her up. However, when she grew up, she had to face another storm. Now Nicholas had no idea what to do.

Meanwhile, the gate of the Byrne Mansion was suddenly pushed opened. Frank strode inside, who was wearing tailored black suit. He looked cold and repellent. Everyone could tell from his mad face that he was about to explode out of rage.

He went upstairs to the second floor and pushed the door of the room located in the east direction, where there was an old man sitting inside. He was staring at the plant on the balcony and simply ignored the one coming inside as he knew that it was his second grandson, Frank.

"Grandpa, why do you make Anayah marry Stefan? Didn't you promise that it was I who should be her fiancé?" Frank stood beside the old man and stared at him.

"Since Stefan wants to marry her, just let it be. After all, you have owned a lot. He only asks for a girl!" Edison said casually.

"But grandpa, both Anayah and I love each other deeply from the bottom of our hearts! You can't do that!" The vein on the back of his palms could be clearly seen out of anger.

However, Edison just turned around and glanced at him.

"Frank, your brother asks for nothing during the past nine years. He has been staying in the Soul Island alone and he did nothing else. Now he only wants a girl to take care of himself. Are you still going to say no? You really make me doubt if you are loyal to our family."

Though Edison said casually, it rendered Frank agitated.

"But grandpa, there are some many girls in the world! He is free to choose anyone he wants! Why did he only ask for mine? You should know that Anayah has been my girl!" A trace of sadness surged up in his eyes.

"But now you have everything! She is just a girl! You have no need to fight against your brother just because of her. I need to rest now. You may leave now." After saying so, Edison closed his eyes.

Frank couldn't help clenching his fists. A trace of hatred flashed across his eyes. Then he strode out of the room.

As he went out of the mansion, he hopped into the car and left. He would never let his cripple brother take away his beloved girl!

The Soul Island was isolated by the ocean around. The fresh air coupled with the scent of sea water surrounded the tranquil villa on the island. The sun shed warm light on its balcony, where there was a man with deadly charming face sitting on a wheelchair. His dark eyes looked so mysterious so like the deep ocean.
