Freya looked at Aurora who was still shocked. "You think you're smart? I'm smarter" she smirked.
The guests looked at Aurora in disgust, so she's this sinister?
Too bad they admired her. Mrs Anderson decided to settle things as the host. "What's going on" she asked Aurora ignoring Freya who was on the floor.
"was my marriage to James planned by them? it seems she's closer to Aurora than I thought" Freya thought.
"mom" Aurora hugged her in tears. "She's my parents adopted daughter" she said.
"Now I understand, she won't want her child to end up with an adopted child. Then I'll make him marry Aurora before revealing she's the imposter. She'll taste what it is to suffer" Freya thought.
"I'm sorry sister ...no you said I should not call you that. I'm really sorry. I'll leave your family" Freya was in bitter tears.
The guests felt Mrs Anderson wasn't right for supporting Aurora...but who would voice out?
Freya knew they wouldn't say a thing but they've made a conclusion in their heart. The Anderson family is an unfair group of people.
who would make business with an unfair group? who would marry their daughter off to an unfair group? That's what Freya asked.
"what? You're just an adopted daughter" Mrs Anderson hissed angrily "come take her to rest" she instructed her maid and walked away with Aurora.
Morrison company:
Liam Morrison was in his office busy on his system when his assistant Aaron Murray entered.
"sir are you attending the Anderson's gala dinner tonight?" he asked his boss.
Liam stopped typing and looked at his assistant with his golden brown eyes. "should I?" he looked at his smart assistant
"Get a wife from there to make the old man happy" his assistant suggested. "propose marriage to any lady" he smirked still looking at his assistant "I just have to tell a street lady she's getting married to Liam Morrison" Aaron said In the same sarcastic way.
"You're smart" he complimented and got up "I'll change my clothes in the penthouse " he walked away.
The Anderson's gala dinner:
Liam stepped down from his car, his black shinning shoes were noticed first. He stepped down like a king in a fantasy book. He looked classy in his dark blue retro suit and a brown fur coat.
The media looked shocked "Why is Mr Morrison here" the media opened their mouths..
Liam walked in like a king he is. He ignored the questioning stares he gets from elders, the jealous stares from young men and the flirty stares he gets from ladies.
He took a glass of wine, "I'm here now suggest a woman" he looked at his assistant who looked away.
"I'm not your old man" he mocked. Liam and Aaron has been friends since high school. when Liam left Atkinson after the death of his parents,he travelled to the states, Aaron stayed with his old man. Aaron was there when he was down. Liam gave the idiot a large sum of money to start up his own company "I don't want to be your rival" he insisted.
But Aaron never returned the money instead he suggested they set up a research company together. He gets payment from the company and from old man Morrison. He gets a lot of gifts from the old man who sees him as a son.
"I'm your boss"Liam looked stern. Aaron bowed respectfully "I'm sorry boss" Liam smiled.
After he lost his parents, Aaron has been the only one who made him smile.
"Who's she" he asked Aaron when he noticed Freya on the floor. "Why do I feel she's not the adopted child" Liam asked Aaron.
"I'll look into that to be sure sir. I feel that way too but for the benefit of doubt." Aaron nodded seriously.
They stood beside each other, Liam had a crazy smile on his face "Inform the old man I'm getting married soon" he smiled.
Aaron could not picture what was going through Liam's head. "I'll deliver your message " Aaron walked out to make a call.
"I thought the Anderson would be a good host but I guess I'm wrong" Liam interrupted Mrs Anderson walking away with Aurora. Mrs Anderson turned and was shocked to see Young master Morrison.
"Young master Morrison" Aurora dumped Mrs Anderson and ran to meet Liam who pushed her away.
"bitch" Mrs Anderson cursed Aurora silently. "Young master Morrison I'm sorry for not coming out personally to welcome you" she bowed.
"Welcome me?" he mocked. Mrs Anderson cursed silently. Her son should get married to the Bailey's daughter quickly so they can be able to stand up against the Morrison.
"You just ridiculed my fiancee" he raised a brow. "Fiancee" Mrs Anderson, Aurora and the guests were shocked even the fiancee in question was shocked.
"I'm getting confused. so I missed the opportunity to the mistress of the Morrison family because I did not attend the gala dinner in my past life.
Now she understands, as at the time she got married to James then, that was the condition her grandpa gave her parents. she must be married before her father can be declared the heir and James out of greediness, married her
perfect!!!
"darling let's leave" he helped Freya up and hugged her close "Be good okay" he whispered, Freya nodded in shock. she's standing close to the great Liam Morrison.
"You didn't inform me" her father moved closer to her "I wasn't Informed myself" she thought
"she's just an adopted daughter Mr Bailey, you don't have to worry too much about her" Liam had a sly smile on his face.
"I'm sorry for mistreating your fiancee" Mrs Anderson apologized.
"You don't have to be sorry" he smiled wickedly. Mrs Anderson shivered, she knew her husband would react badly to her attitude.
"I'll take her out" he carried Freya like a baby and walked out elegantly. Freya rested her head on his chest, it is as hard as a rock. "I'm just an adopted daughter" Freya tried to explain but Liam cut her shut"how about a DNA test" he mocked.
"How did you know I'm the real daughter" she asked "ohhh" she almost forgot he's the young master of the Morrison. He can get everything about her within seconds "I was abandoned as a child and now they only want me as a tool" she explained.
More friends are better than more enemies, if she needs to be the winner she needs someone like Liam to be by her side.
"I know" he replied shortly. Freya scoffed "At least pretend" she muttered. Liam who hears what she said clearly laughed "You're interesting" he said "A compliment" Freya replied.
"friends" she stretched her hand for a shake when Liam dropped her "Let's her married" he said .
"sorry? You mean a contract marriage...." Freya looked lost, if she get married to Liam now what about the future? what if Liam becomes the James in her past life?
"I'm sorry Mr Morrison" she apologized. "You don't have to be after all you will be my ex" he laughed and brought out his complimentary card " call me when you're less busy" he entered his car.
Baileys mansion:
The Baileys entered their mansion looking solemn. Mr Bailey was furious, he had possibly lost a good opportunity because of Aurora.
"How dare you" he yelled at Aurora angrily, Aurora trembled in fear "Dad I'm sorry" she begged in tears. "Darling stop it please" Mrs Bailey hugged the trembling Aurora.
She looked at her husband sadly "That country bumpkin could have controlled herself too, she thought she was the real miss Bailey" she scoffed.
"No mom, I'm the adopted child. I should have respected her. I never knew she would implicate me. I'm sorry" she jammed her palm together begging her father.
Her father could not bear to be angry with her anymore "You have to be careful princess" he hugged her, Aurora had a wicked smile on her face.
"I won't dad" she hugged her father tightly.
"Be a good girl" he encouraged and went inside leaving mother and daughter duo.
"Baby" her mother looked at her sweetly. Aurora was quiet for some seconds, her mother noticed this, "what's wrong" she asked.
"Nothing mom" Aurora lied. " You can't say that baby" her mother encouraged. "I'm scared that now that your daughter is back, you'll abandon me" she explained sadly. "Whose daughter?" Mrs Bailey could not hide her disgust. "She's just a tool your dad needs okay?" She assured the insecure Aurora.
Aurora nodded her head "When is she joining us in the mansion mom" Aurora asked again, Mrs Bailey hugged her "Tomorrow, I hope you can cope baby" she asked. Aurora nodded happily "I'm happy" she said. She's indeed happy because she'll have a chance to bully Freya.
Freya's apartment:
She lay on her bed looking like a lost lamb. "I don't want to disrupt my plans, but why do I feel the need to protect that unruly dude" she mocked herself.
In her past life, she only met Liam Morrison once and that was after she got married to James. Thinking about her naive self then, she could not help but clench her fist. She's here now, she'll make sure she gets her revenge.
This time in her past life, she never got the chance to meet Liam and this life,he proposed marriage to her. She would not be a victim of the same trick twice.
She planned ahead of time and how she'll take her revenge, James revenge would be in the future. But thinking about carefully James only got interested in her after he heard of her cooking skills. It is said that they way to a man's heart is knowing the way to his stomach.
She helped James became Liam's biggest rival in her past life but how about she make Liam crush James in this life?
No!
She have to stop thinking about Liam. He was sent by the devil to disrupt her plans.
The baileys Mansion:
Mrs Bailey entered her matrimonial room and met her husband on the bed. He looked worried.
"Did grandpa sent anyone to you" she asked her husband. she hugged him on the bed, placing his head on her full chest.
Mrs bailey hates grandpa bailey because of his strict rules. He is too domineering. "no he haven't called for me" her husband replied. she snapped out of her thoughts. "it's grandma Anderson's birthday tomorrow" she reminded him.
Her husband looked shocked "grandpa will be there"he said sadly. "There's a marriage contract between the Baileys and the Andersons, why not try that out to make your father proud" she suggested.
"I should think of a plan " he said nodding his head in agreement. "Aurora and James should get married " she said with a wide smile plastered on her face.
"Aurora? Father wouldn't agree to that and you know " he replied sharply. She clenched her fist and laid on the bed ignoring her husband.
Morrison's mansion:
Liam wore a baggy blue hoodie and a black shorts. He looked casual yet classy. He walked down the stairs like an Egyptian pharoah.
"sir, you got an invite from the Anderson again" Aaron said.
"ignore them I'm not interested" he replied. He brought out a mug to prepare coffee.
Aaron looked amused, didn't he propose marriage to that young lady of the baileys?
unbelievable!
"I got everything you need to know about that girl" he dropped a file on the table. Liam who just finished making his coffee took a sip, he read through the file slowly digesting all the information "The Baileys had a contract with the Andersons" he raised a brow.
Aaron nodded slowly "But James would never accept a country bumpkin as his wife." he said. He was very sure of that. The arrogant and proud James would never settle for someone like Freya "only Liam Morrison would" he said that silently though.
Liam had a dangerous smirk plastered on his face. "okay"
Grandma Anderson birthday party:
Socialites dressed gorgeously as they entered the hall one after the other. They looked classy and luxurious.
The baileys too walked the red carpet together. Grandpa held Freya closely. He was very happy. He's here to propose the marriage and he knows magret (grandma Anderson) would happily agree to it.
Aurora knew of the marriage contract between both families and decided to make it known
let's see how James ridicule you!
"I heard there's a marriage contract between the baileys and the Andersons" she said loud enough for people to hear.
They all turned to her giving her the attention she wanted "seems grandpa love Freya, James might end up with Freya. I can't compete with my sister" she said pitifully.
The guests looked at grandpa, some looked at him as an unfair grandpa. who in this world would hate his own granddaughter for an adopted child?
Grandpa looked anxious, he has never been on a tight spot his entire life. Mrs Bailey clenched her fist tightly, Aurora is going to spoil her plans. Mr Bailey almost spit out blood.
"Who?I can't marry a country bumpkin" james mocked Freya
"I'm getting married to Liam Morrison this weekend" she said.
what???
The great Liam Morrison?
I hope that fool accept and not destroy me. she can't end up with James this time!
