Forced Marriage: My Wife, My Redemption by Lilyheart

Chapter 21: Sister have some drink

The arrival of Davis Allen and Jessica received a cold welcome as though they were intruders in the house. The butler lead them into the living room, bowed slightly and returned into the house. Jessica slowly pushed Davis to a comfortable location and sat down beside him.

Davis glanced around the room taking in every details as they are—the opulent structure, the expensive antiques arranged as though they are on exhibition, the golden chandelier, ho .niothe art works hanging around the wall, the large TV hanging on the wall below the beautiful family of three portrait as though seeking a proper attention to be noticed all the time. The portrait has a girl who is totally different from the one beside him. His gaze narrowed at the portrait.

He leaned towards Jessica to ask her in a voice only both of them could "I can't find you in the potrait on the wall, aren't you the eldest daughter of the Brown", he asked with a mixed emotion. He was skeptical but then he needed an answer and a clarity of the matter. Jessica in a whisper "Davis, is there need for an abandoned daughter to make appearance on the family portrait to resent the image?" She replied with a smirk.

It was at this time that Risa stepped into the sitting room seeing their ambiguous posture she clenched her fist in anger. It seems Jessica is having a good time with Davis. They had expected this marriage to be her pain and agony but looking at their posture and closeness, her jaw tightened.

She coughed lightly to announce her presence and the duo slowly raised their heads to look at her. "Sister, you are welcome home", she said with her smile wide as she walked over to them. Casting a furtive glance at Davis whose face was cold and devoid of emotion, she had always known he is handsome but it seems been in the wheelchair did not in anyway limit him.

"Sister, is he my brother-in-law?" She asked gazing at him. Jessica did not miss the admiration and calculation that danced in her eyes. She had always coveted everything that belongs to Jessica and anyone she couldn't get she makes sure to destroy.

Jessica can bet her life that Risa is already plotting against her for the same man she had rejected. Jessica, smiled lightly but her eyes were as cold as ice as she met her gaze briefly before she smiled sweetly at Davis "Hubby meet my half sister Risa and Sister this is my husband, your brother-in-law." she stated asserting dominion while daring Risa to do her worst.

With their gazes locked on each other, a silent battle of wits made the tension in the room palpable. Davis might have been out of the business cycle but he isn't a novice not to know when the battle line had been drawn. But then he felt more amused at Jessica's introduction, it was clear she just wanted to piss Risa off but his mood lifted.
