Chapter 2 An Unexpected Guest

Tricia's POV

He made me hate the rain, his rejection happened on a rainy day, and when he had walked away, I ran after him, calling out to him but he wouldn't hear.

I was furious, because I made him my world and only ended up being betrayed.

That very day, I met with an accident, one that almost cost my life and I was in coma for a while which seems like years.

He didn't even check up on me, it seems as though I never existed. I grieved for him, but he never came.

They say life goes on but that embarrassed on that day was something that I cling on to.

When I woke up from coma after 5 years, he was the first I wanted to see and the only way to see him again is becoming a part of his family.

***

The rain trickles down, it platters on anything visible it could lay its fury on.

I was in it, with my dark outfit but not drained because I had an umbrella. My large hat covered my face slightly. Who knew a day like this would come?

The cold breeze hits me hard as I exhaled softly. My eyes stared at them like a hawk.

The thunder clasp as I tightened my grip on the handle.

He seems happy.

My eyes watch him with that child, swaying him in his arms.

He planted kisses on his cheeks. I barely heard what they say but I know he praised the child for his attempt.

He never asked of me after that fall that cost my life and that of my child.

It's been five years after that incident but it felt like yesterday. I recall falling to his knees for help but he shun me.

Where was his line that he was just an inche away if I needed help?

The words of the doctor were;

"Eat, love, and live up your life"

I was literally traumatized and wish I didn't wake up from coma.

It saddens me it wouldn't be with the man I sacrificed so much for. We had same dream and what did he do?

Rejection! To prove what? Pains! Agony!

Just as he made me lose the people I loved so much, he'd lose everything more.

I gulped hard as I saw her appear from behind him, holding his waist. He swirl her closer to him.

She giggles as he bent her slightly and then captured her lips. I gasped and fluttered my eyes.

When I spur them open I saw them embracing each other and vanishing from that spot.

That should have been me in her place. I wouldn't have retaliated but then, it didn't just end in the wedding...

"Babe..." His husky voice called as he kissed me on my left cheek. I felt his presence enveloped me.

His arms were spread around my waist as he buried his face on my shoulder.

"You look so beautiful in black" he complimented and i faked a smile.

His grip on my waist tightens as he sniffs my neck. He was my future interest, Darius Smith, father of Trevor.

We just got married and his ring's just stuck to my finger, glowing in the dark.

"I can't wait to have you tonight" he whispers and I froze where I stood. I requested to be introduced to the family, to see Trevor's reaction.

He kissed me in the rain, holding me lightly from falling.

My hands were trembling as he twirl my lips to his taste. I felt he'd take the rest of my miserable soul.

However, I haul myself closer to him as his body sticked to me.

He terminated the kiss and I gasped softly.

"It's time to introduce, my majesty to the family" he proudly declared. He loves to praise me and I guess Trevor learnt that path from him.

"I hope the family would love me" I said in a depressing tone.

He nudge my nose, with an assurance that they would. I slowly closed my eyes and when I spur them open, I found myself at a large door.

***

I was nervous but I kept my chin high. The mansion spoke of wealth and it was magnificent. The maids were in array according us with respect. They must have heard I'd be joining the family.

"You got this Tricia" he whispers. His soothing words crashes in my head. He was just the perfect man for me.

However, the love he desired, seems far away. It was a night that drew him this close.

The door glides open and he was the first my eyes fell upon. My nightmare!

All eyes on the table were rolled to me.

I was making my grand entry. I poised my hat and exhaled deeply.

The sight of me made him get on his feet.

He had a shocked gaze at me, like I was a ghost.

I cartwalked with a bright smile.

Perhaps, he didn't even realize that he was on his feet at my appearance.

My lips didn't wear off the devilish smile. I walked pass him and intensional brush his shoulder.

However, I paused as I felt an electrifying knot inside my stomach. For the first time, in a long while, I felt my wolf grunt!

He rolled his face at me and we exchange a quick glance. It seems as though he wore a piteous look, not expecting me to be alive.

The gifts in his hands dropped as he scoffed unbelievably.

I sat down close to Darius and held his arm while resting my head on his shoulder.

The only person who didn't hide his lustful feeling was adnar. His eyes lowered at me.

"Sexy" he muttered and then rake his hair with his fingers.

He was the least regarded in the family. A junkie working on himself. In other words, he was just an outcast.

Darius had only called for this dining to introduce me to them.

Staring at him, I could tell he wanted to lurch off me but he was just an open bait for me.

"You're got an adorable family" I commented with an intensed gaze at Fiona.

Her hands were trembling. Obviously, the fear in her eyes were noticable.

"Bro, you look like a pulp tomatoes, sit" adnar muses as he relaxed his back on the chair.

However, Trevor refused to sit as he clenched his fist.

"You... didn't..tell me, you were marrying her"

I felt that question was for me. His vein tighten around his neck as I could see he was furious.

"When have you shown up for any important event?" Alan replied as though he was the mouthpiece over here.

Trevor threw a glare at him and he grabbed a glass of wine and gulped hard.

"Show some respect son!" Darius barks. His eye brows furrowed

I raised my head high, pride surging through me. With Darius, Trevor would be under my feet.

"I hope we, get along. Son"
