Forced Marriage: My Wife, My Redemption by Lilyheart

Chapter 50: Didn’t you hear her...

Vera gasped for breathe as the weight of the situation crashed down on her, she stared at the faces before her gloomily.

The silent, piercing stares of her family members boring into her, their expressions and their faces scrunched at varying degrees ranging from shock to disgust - judging her actions, naivety, shame and disgrace they might think she had brought on them.

It’s not a secret, the sort of scheme that goes on in this family but then —being caught in the act is way more embarrassing and humiliating yet she had been caught—trapped in her own scheme, exposed in the most humiliating way possible.

This dinner had been her undoing and it was Jessica... A girl from the countryside. She isn’t reconciled with this result.

As if on cue, the drug reactions kicked in with force, her hands trembled violently, her struggle to stand up ended up in humiliation as her legs buckled again as a sharp pang of pain shot through her stomach, as though she is stabbed with several swords at the same time.

Beads of sweat formed on her already damp forehead as dizziness clouded her vision. Her lips parted as if to say something, but no words came—just a soft, strangled gasp of pain.

With a thud, Vera collapsed onto the cold tiled floor before anybody could react. She has passed out. The atmosphere became chaotic and tense.

"Vera!" Aaron sprinted forward with speed , crouching beside her and gripping her shoulders. He shook her lightly, but her eyes fluttered, barely able to focus.

"What’s wrong with her?" Pamela asked in alarm, stepping back in fear. Though, she isn’t in good terms with Vera she didn’t want her dead.

"A failed scheme," Davis answered, his voice devoid of concern.

His words sent a shiver through the room.
