Forced Marriage: My Wife, My Redemption by Lilyheart

Chapter 21: Sister have sdrink

The arrival of Davis Allen and Jessica received a cold welcas 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 tthat Risa stepped into the sitting room seeing their ambiguous posture she clenched her fist in

anger. It seems Jessica is having a good twith 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 welchome", 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 handsbut 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 sman she had rejected. )essica,

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.

Risa stretched forth her hand to Davis for a handshake. Jessica smiled lightly as she grabbed Davis hand "sister,

am sorry but he had a cut on his right hand and currently can't have a handshake to prevent infections" she

sneered.

"A cut?" Risa asked skeptical. She has a feeling that Jessica is doing this on purpose.

"Oh! Sorry but hope it's not much", she asked and walked towards Davis but then her feet halted in shock at

Davis voice "Miss Brown, don't you think the Brown family is misplacing their priorities?"

Risa glanced at Jessica seeing her smile her face contorted in rage. "I don't understand what you are pointing

at." She replied as she sort ways to handle the situation Clara's voice filtered through "Am sorry for the

oversight" she said slowly and deliberately.

A maid followed closely behind with a tray of fruit desert and water. Davis lifted his eyes towards the sound of

the voice and locked on the woman who was descending the stairs with deliberate step as though she is a

queen. "l understand" he muttered averting his gaze.

As Risa and Clara cin one after another with George not present in the sitting room Jessica intuition made

her feel weary of this family . Something isn't right but no matter what it is she is ready to play with them.

"Mr. Allen, you are here. Am sorry to have kept you waiting, | was attending to simportant calls about our

corporation —you know how busy one can be at this time" he said flashing Davis a knowing smile. Davis

shrugged nonchalantly as though it is not important what he wants.

Jessica took an excuse of getting something from her room to leave the living room and slowly she walked

towards the hallway and after a while the door shut with a thud. While Davis and Ethan sat with other Brown

family members with George praising himself incessantly about his business acumen and achievements.

After a short tJessica returned to the sitting room clutching an old worn toy in her left hand. Settling down

she unwittingly picked up a glass on the side table and drank from it before she placed it back. "Father..", she

began but stopped when she noticed the expressions of the people in the sitting room had all changed

drastically yet a smile tugged at Davis lips. She wanted to wonder what had happened but Risa's voice halted

her speech, "You.. drank from

.. from ..his glass?" She stammered in confusion. Hearing the question, Jessica glanced at their faces and it

seems that everyone is asking the squestion. she glanced at them slowly "Aren't we married?" She asked

making them stumped.

Risa felt she was dreaming and couldn't contain her surprise and anger as she clenched her fist. .

She is quite uncomfortable with the rate of development between Jessica and Davis. Though,Davis was a

crippled man who she had rejected; she was hoping that he will make Jessica's life unbearable. She had hoped

that she will remain in her shadow, possibly to return to the Brown family to solicit for help. She opened her

mouth to retort but was short of words. A glint flashed in her eyes and gazing intently at Jessica, "You just got

married or were doing you dating before?" She sneered.

"What should be the difference between getting married and dating before or has the Brown family forgotten the

root and method used in this marriage?" Jessica sneered.

She wouldn't give Risa the chance to exploit her. Though she mistakenly took the sip from Davis cup, she will

make good use of the opportunity and ensure that Risa will not have any peace within her.

Risa averted her gaze but then Jessica wouldn't step back "Tellsister, how long one should date or be

married to express familiarity or where you expecting to ask for my head?" She pressured that even Ethan sitting

by the side couldn't help give her a thumbs up in his heart.

Risa averted her gaze, it was clear she had hoped for that to be a reality but —she won't dare admit such an

outrageous act. She couldn't understand how Jessica had becsharp tongued and calculative just in a few

days.

"Jessy, you see your sister is but a child, she doesn't know much and if she asked wrongly please forgive her but

her question isn't uncalled for." Clara quickly cut in with mock care to avoid anyone pursuing the matter further.

"Sure, | understand but then a child shouldn't ask what isn't meant for her age", Jessica answered, her tone rich

with amusement in her eyes as she gazed at the fuming Risa.

As the syllable left her lips a maid

squeezed juice and pastries to serve

Risa smirked, finally God is helping her. Should anything go wrong after the drink then Jessica should take the

blame.
