Love Me Again

Chapter 77

Author's POV

  The stylists were getting Evelyn ready for the upcoming wedding. Arthur took her on her private island where all the arrangements for the wedding were done. The whole villa was decorated. But something was off. Someone was not happy about it. The bride herself has been crying for hours. Now, even her tears are dry. She was sitting like a lifeless doll.

  "She is looking so gorgeous. " The stylist said.

  "I agree, boss will be so happy with our work. She will look better if she smiles." Other stylists said.

  Suddenly, the lights in the room went off, indicating the arrival of the devil. The stylists left the room quickly. Footsteps were heard.

  "Bella baby, finally the day has come. We will get married, and you will be mine forever. " Arthur said.

  "You may marry me forcefully. You may get my body forcefully, but you can never get my love. I'll always belong to my Sebastien. " Evelyn stated.

  She knows that Sebastien will come and save her from this wedding, and if he does not come, then she will kill Arthur on the wedding night and run away. She won't let any other man touch her.She was planning to kill herself, but now, when she gives it a thought, Killin Arthur would be the best option. After all, that asshole was the sole reason for her suffering.

  Wedding night would be the best opportunity to kill him after all the security around the room would be removed to give them privacy, and once they got married, Arthur would be less alarmed.

  'Either this marriage take place or not, you will die tonight, Arthur. If Seb won't come to kill you, then I will. You have messed with the wrong girl.' She smirked internally.

  "Stop being delusional, baby. Do you still believe that your useless husband will come to save you?" Arthur scoffed.

  "We will see Arthur, who is being delusional. If Seb won't come to rescue me, then I'll gladly marry you. I promise." Evelyn said innocently.

  'And this wedding would be your biggest mistake. ' She scoffed internally.

  "Perfect then, be prepared to be a happy bride because Sebastien had given up on you. He is not looking for you anymore ." Arthur said.

  He left the room and instructed Tristan to increase the security on the island. He didn't want to take any risk.

  "Boss, I have checked every corner of the island. There is no sign of Sebastien here. Also, I have confirmed with Liana that Sebastien is at home right now. He is probably mourning about his divorce. He has no idea about the wedding. " Tristan informed Arthur.

  Arthur let out a chuckle. He was amused by the information.

  'Bella, dear, your hopes are gonna be crushed. ' He thought to himself.

  "Bella, let's go, baby. It's time for the wedding. I came to escort you personally. You must be missing your family." Arthur said.

  "I can walk on my own. You don't need to escort me." Evelyn resorted.

  "You know baby, you are just like your mother, sassy and fussy. Trust me, I am not talking about Ravenna." He whispered the last part in her ear, making her frown.

  "What are you trying to say?" Evelyn asked.

  "You know that I am not after Evelyn. I am after my Bella, so I have nothing to do with Evelyn's parents. I was talking about your mother, Bella, your real family. " Arthur said.

  "You know about my family? " She asked with wide eyes. She never expected Arthur to know about her roots.

  "I know everything about your family. After all, they were the one to betrothed us, baby. Our wedding was your parents' last wish before they died. Aren't you going to fulfill their wish?" Arthur asked.

  Shock would be an understatement to define Evelyn's current state. She couldn't believe it. When Arthur mentioned her parents, she somehow hoped to reunite with them someday, but the news of their death was heartbreaking. She couldn't believe her parents betrothed her to a devil like Arthur.

  "You are lying, right? Why would my parents betroth me to you? You are such a heartless devil." Evelyn said.

  "I am not as bad as you think. Your parents entrusted you to me, so they must have seen something good in me. Please give me a chance, Bella. You said if Sebastien won't come then you will happily marry me. He is not coming. He is still at home. It's better that you accept our bond. " Arthur smirked.

'Laugh as much as you want, Arthur. I was thinking about changing my mind to find my family. But as they are dead, I have no reason to keep you alive.' Evelyn thought to herself.

She gave her hand in Arthur's hand and put on a fake smile. They walked down the aisle together, where the priest was already waiting for them.

The priest asked them to exchange their vows. As Arthur was about to start his vow, a gunshot was heard. Evelyn's eyes lit up in anticipation. She was hoping to see Sebastien. Arthur's mood soured because of this.

Instead of Sebastien, someone else walked in the villa with a gun, and a team of fighters.
