Chereads / Married to my nemesis / Chapter 7 - You're dead

Chapter 7 - You're dead

 

Emin couldn't react to this announcement until Vixen's mother, Phebe strolled towards her. 

She held her hand raising her from her seat as they walked towards the old man.

She stood there not knowing what she was going to do, she couldn't just blurt out that Vixen was her enemy and she didn't want to be his wife but then the grandfather took a step as he hugged her. 

The grandfather chuckled as he pushed himself from her to take a look at her face, the old man was 180cm tall and he used his hand to softly hold her chin. 

"There would be another addition to the family, I pray your relationship with my grandson will bring great joy and certainly a lot of children to this family." His elderly voice spoke as he softly pattered her head. 

Enim forced a smile though Prudence was rejecting the prayer inwardly, her only prayer was to get her revenge. 

It was time for the ball dance, Enim was seated watching the others dance to the rhythm of the slow song that was played. 

As she watched, she began to hear murmurings from around her, she knew those comments were probably bad reviews about her, after all, what was expected from spoilt girls who were not chosen to be Vixen's bride? 

If only they knew that she was going to be the cause of his death then they wouldn't try to make comments. 

She stood up from her seat as she tried to approach her family, she walked towards their seats as her twin sister caught her in a glimpse first. 

She glared at her like she was going to use the wine cup she was holding to hit her head if she approached them but Enim had a small smile with invisible sweat on her forehead.

Truth be told, Prudence was well trained and good at fighting, but her twin sister wasn't any less, if she wanted she could break one of the legs of the table and kill her right there. 

She kept her courage knowing her sister was an actual sweetheart, if she continued then she would probably turn from her angry ways. 

"Hi," she said in a friendly tone as she reached her destination.

Gaining the attention of the others. 

"I'm sorry, if you're looking for another person then go, there's no one here who's willing to see your face. Besides, we haven't come here to insult anyone so I think if you want that peace then please move," Phoebe aggressively spoke as she took a sip of wine. 

"Phoebe, listen," she held her tongue as her sister turned to her in bewilderment. 

"How do you know my name? Are you spying on us along with your fvcking husband?" 

Emin blamed herself for forgetting that she was no longer Prudence. 

"You just have to hear what I want" 

"Baby," a deep voice came from behind as Vixen hugged her unexpectedly. 

How possibly could she teach this stupid one a lesson? 

"Wow, you two fit yourselves a lot, a match made in hell," Max her brother voiced out. 

"What did you just say?" Feeling the anger that was boiling within him, she took him to the dance floor immediately wrapping her hands around his neck as he placed his hands on her waist putting her closer. 

"You know what? Seeing you in this dress just makes me go crazy, Baby," he said hoarsely. 

Enim was infuriated by the fact his head couldn't think of anything but wanting to have s*x with Enim's body. 

"Vixen, why did you make this kind of surprise? Your grandfather's birthday celebration?" 

"Remember the contract you signed?" 

What kind of contract did Enim sign? 

She reasoned of a way she could ask Vixen without any suspicion but she couldn't figure it out immediately, just when she wanted to voice out, Vixen spoke. 

"The contract you signed to be under me as my s*x mate to save your sick mother." 

Emin paused hearing what he said, did Enim leave this world escaping her contract while she would have a difficult life becoming what she never thought she was going to become with her enemy? 

For a whole two months, she was going to be living as a s*x slave to her enemy? 

"Is impossible," Enim stuttered not realizing that she'd dropped her hands from Vixen's neck. 

"Enim, are you alright? What's impossible? Why are you acting all different now?" She jolted and then she gave him a forced small smile as she shook his head. 

"Is nothing," Vixen placed her back in position as he brought his face closer whispering in her ear. 

"You're lucky that you were introduced to the world this way, I couldn't just let a woman be in my life, the world would have a lot of questions and also, I'm doing this because of your sick mother. I know how it feels to lose someone. Though still with this, to the world you will be seen as my fiancee, but to me, you would be a s*x mate, my pleasure mate." 

Saying it, the music stopped as the guests clapped seeing the dance that was presented to them by the couple. 

Enim paused not realizing what was going on because Prudence had so many questions. 

Why was she going to take all the punishment? 

Why her? 

What was happening? 

Thinking about the situation she didn't realize that Vixen held her hand until he whispered in her ear. 

"Let's go now," she startled hearing his voice, and then scolded herself to concentrate. 

They left the midst of the dance floor as they walked to Vixen's grandfather. 

"Grandfather, we'll be taking our leave now," Vixen said as his mother who was talking to someone heard what he said, she walked towards them with a frown on her face. 

"Why all of a sudden? The party is just beginning and you're leaving before the party starts." 

Vixen mildly smiled. 

"Sorry Mum, but we have to go after all we still have important things to do."

"Important things?" 

"I'm sorry, mum, gramps, but is urgent." 

"Oh my, I couldn't have a proper conversation with my daughter-in-law," she said with a pouty lip. 

Vixen silently brushed Enim's arm gesturing for her to speak. 

"Uhm, don't worry, Mum, I could come to visit you sometime, is just a sudden we have to leave." 

"Okay, take care," the woman said with a charming smile.

The couple took their leave after hugging his grandfather and mother, as they were walking towards the exit, Mike, Vixen's brother came in. 

Seeing him, Enim said his name taken aback. 

"Mike!" When Vixen heard, he turned to her with a grimace on his face after seeing the person she called was his brother. 

"How do you know my brother's name?" He questioned.

She tried to feign innocence knowing her mistake must have made him have a lot of questions. 

How wouldn't she know the cause of their hatred and their relationship? 

She turned to him smiling at him. 

"Oh, how wouldn't I know your brother, you both are popular after all." 

"But, you don't know much about the business world, and if I could remember, you use the brothel's phone once a week to reach your relatives." 

She wondered what kind of life Enim was living, in the eighteenth century. 

She looked at Vixen's gaze which did not leave her, was he getting suspicious? 

"Hey, bro," His gaze broke as his brother came towards them, he greeted Vixen giving him a handshake and then they gently bumped their chest. 

Mike turned his gaze to Enim. 

Looking at the tall man, it's been four years since she saw him last, he was fourteen by that time and now, looking at the whole grown-up boy, he's changed a lot. 

Taller than his brother, same hazel eyes as his brother, their appearance looked a bit the same, dressed in a tuxedo and black trousers, his hair was nicely styled into a short hairstyle, and he had a handsome aura she was sure girls would be drooling for him. 

"Oh look at the new bride," Mike spoke as Enim gave him a forceful smile. 

"Hi," she spoke nicely.

"Welcome to the family, my brother is finally going to have a partner." 

He tried to smoothen the atmosphere but Enim changed it. 

"Uhm, I'd like to use the toilet, do you know the direction to the toilet?" She said hesitantly. 

"Once you walk from here, you turn to the left since there is an end road there, it has two directions, you'll see the lavatory if you turn to the left," Mike instructed. 

"Okay," she smiled immediately picking up her legs and walking in that direction, once she got to the toilet, she checked in case someone was in any of the toilets. 

Thankfully no one was there, it was the same checking outside in case no one was coming in, once it was valid— she called. 

"Hey lady ghost, are you here? Lady ghost?!!" She tried not to be loud. 

"Seriously, you're calling me a lady ghost?" Emin was startled hearing the voice of the woman that appeared behind her, she looked at the mirror at her front just to see the lady ghost dressed in another outfit, a pink sweater that reached above her knee and pink sneakers. 

"What do you expect to be called?" Enim asked turning to her. 

"Eva, you can call me by that name instead," she paused folding her arms and pouting her lip. 

"So why are you calling me? You have twenty minutes, I have somewhere I'd like to attend." 

"Is that why you're dressed like this? Are you even human?" 

"I could ask you the same, dressed like this— in the form of another, are you even human?" she spouted. 

"You're weird." 

"Thank you, you have fifteen minutes left." 

"Okay, about this whole mission, I don't want to do this in this body, could you at least replace me with another body? Maybe a middle-class person, I know I could still complete my mission." 

Eva stared at her silent and speechless with folded hands then she scorned. 

"You know what, I think you are right, maybe we should transfer your soul to one of Vixen's dogs instead, it would be better, after all, he loves his dog a lot. " 

"Wh-what? A dog? How do you expect me to accomplish my goal?" 

"Maybe that's what I should be asking you, do you think this is a joke? This isn't just an ordinary game, Prudence. You said you want to destroy the killer and you've been given another chance, whether you like it or not, you have to become Enim. Become like Enim but you will have to achieve your goal like Prudence would."

"Okay then, even if you placed me in her body will you just tell me, how will I be able to cooperate like Enim would when I can't remember any of her memories?" 

"For that, you have to earn it. " 

"What? Earn it? How would I-" She was cut into a sentence as a woman entered the bathroom with a friend, she immediately turned pretending to be cleaning her face with water. 

"Oh, you're Enim. The new bride," she heard one of the women who came say, turning to her she had a smile on her face though she felt the word the person said was only trying to throw dirt at her. 

"I shouldn't lie, since the time Vixen announced you as his bride, I thought-" 

"I'm sorry but I'll have to leave, I'm sure Vixen will be waiting for me," she said politely putting a smile not to create drama as she was about to leave the toilet. 

"You know what? I'm sure you're just like those other b*tches who use their f*ckingly sh*t holes to get to rich men!!" The woman voices out making Enim stop and then she fists her hand. 

This was what she was trying to get away from, for a long time she didn't want to come across her but here she was. 

"What did you say?" She asked with a cold aura sending a shivering signal to the woman as she glared at her with a deadshot stare.

The woman's friend recalled the same words, and yes, they broke her calm. 

After years, these girls never seemed to change their ways and now they've brought a dead situation for themselves, all the anger she was putting in will be on them. 

"You're dead," she muttered coldly.
