Chapter 2: How a Rash decision turns out
Zephyrine returned to her room but she wasn't feeling so comfortable so she dressed up for a party. There was this clubhouse where she normally goes with Nathaniel, until she realized that she was only a puppet in his cunning game. But not anymore.
In the living room Sapphire, Eleanor, and Mattew sat and watched as Zephyrine left the house.
Zephyrine got into her favorite car and drove to the clubhouse. It didn't take her long to get to the clubhouse, she parked her car before she got out. But immediately after she got out, a figure came running towards her. Zephyrine was almost blown away due to the shock. When she finally calmed down she saw that it was Zephyrine. The most wanted criminal in her life now.
Zephyrine didn't find it odd, he was supposed to celebrate since he got rid of her already without having to do much work. Zephyrine crossed her arm around her body. She didn't need to be afraid of a little stray dog like him.
"Excuse me, Mr. Roy, but I am not ready to talk. I don't want to regret doing anything to you," Zephyrine threatened.
Nathaniel's eyes were so red, "Zephyrine, why did you break up with me?" Why pretend?
"Because I don't want you anymore, simple and short," Zephyrine stated with a shrugged shoulder before she walked away. But right that instant, a force threw Zephyrine back into Nathaniel's arm.
"Nathaniel! Do you have a death wish?" Roared a deep husky voice from behind them both
Nathaniel's hand paused at once and his arm loosen around her body. Zephyrine could also see the frozen look on Nathaniel's face. That made her turn to see who had got him so stunned.
On turning around to see, Zephyrine's line of sight met with a handsome youthful face. Zephyrine's line of thought changed at once. It was like she was seeing a goddess in a male version. What the heck! Thus must be an alien.
"Uncle!" Nathaniel's voice quivered.
Zephyrine was thrown back to reality, she regained her senses but not her sight. Before she could withdraw her gaze, Zephyrine swam into a pair of hands and a warm embrace. Zephyrine froze completely. What trick is this alien playing on her?
Nathaniel was utterly speechless, "Uncle Kendrick" he pointed at Zephyrine.
Kendrick Desjardins raised his head and spoke without batting an eye, "Why are you with my girl?"
"Your girl?" Nathaniel asked with a slightly raised voice.
Zephyrine was more than speechless, she had never met this man before while she was dating Nathaniel. How did the male lead change all of a sudden?
Zephyrine was quick to think. She wrapped her hand around him, "Kendrick, how did you know I was here?" She asked dotingly. His name was easy to memorize and such a name can't be easily forgotten as it will always ring a bell in one's heart.
Kendrick pulled her cheek and looked at Nathaniel with a disgusted look. "What are you two doing together?"
"You cheated on me, Zephyrine," Li Wang accused.
Kendrick sneered, "How dare you accuse her of cheating. Get away from here before I get you kicked out," Kendrick made a move toward him.
Nathaniel knew better than to stay. He ran off at a dashing speed.
Kendrick Desjardins is a direct relative to Darlene Roy. Darlene Roy was from a rich family but because she was desperate to marry Staurt, she lost everything that was supposed to be hers. Kendrick was now the only person in the family who had Mr. Desjardins support. Kendrick was Mr. Desjardins's only son, smart and business-minded.
Zephyrine somehow forgot to leave Kendrick's embrace but Kendrick snapped his finger and woke her up from her dream. Zephyrine coughed embarrassingly.
"Thank you," Zephyrine thanked, trying to hide her face from too much embarrassment.
"You don't need to hide your beautiful face. Come with me, I have a deal to propose," without waiting, Kendrick started walking into the clubhouse. He is not used to waiting for answers, he takes decisions directly without thinking of what the other person in question thinks as long as it is in his favor.
Zephyrine frowned curiously, but she followed him. They might not have met before but his deal might be favorable to her.
They sat at a corner and they both sipped their drink.
"I won't beat around the bush. You don't know me, but I do. Marry me!"
As short as his words were, it blew Zephyrine's mind off. Her heartbeat raced uncontrollably. It was the kind of feeling she had when she wanted to come back to life.
Zephyrine was exactly not sure if she heard the right thing or maybe her imagination got the better of her.
"Excuse me?"
"Marry me and we will get our papers signed tomorrow."
Zephyrine felt like she was hearing the funniest joke in her life. What was more funny was the way he said it like marriage was something trivial.
"Hehehehe," she chuckled and then she took a large gulp. She didn't stop until she drank every little content in the glass. "What will I gain from marrying you?"
"You get to enjoy your freedom, and I will help you with anything you need. Ok sure you must know the popular family Desjardins."
Zephyrine smiled again, she did not know the family, but guessing from the way he spoke, he must come from an influential family. Not a bad deal.
"Good, come to Cloutier Manor tomorrow and we will get our marriage certificate together."
They both shook hands and then went their separate ways. It wasn't until when Zephyrine got into the car she realized that she was taking a big step in her life. What if it turns bad like when she married Nathaniel? Will her story be rewritten in a good way or history will repeat itself?
That can't be decided until the drama unfolds itself. Zephyrine took a deep breath before she drove off. Her mind was telling her that something was off, but she didn't know exactly what. She didn't know if it was about the
marriage she decided to do with a stranger. Grandpa Cloutier was going to be very mad when he found out that Zephyrine got married without his consent.
Will her decision be a stepping stone for her misfortune?
