A Miracle Fault

Chapter 22 She Is Emmeline Campbell!

Emmeline was trembling all over out of fear. But Stefan simply ignored her struggle. He was totally overwhelmed with anger as he just wanted to retaliate against her, who even dared to lie to him.

Emmeline kept struggling, but Stefan still remained unmoved.

Emmeline shouted so hard that her voice turned to be hoarse.

She had totally run out of her energy. She could do nothing but to scream, "Help! Dad! Antonio, help me!"

When hearing that, Stefan grabbed her even harder. His eyes behind the mask looked even more dangerous.

Though she kept screaming in the room, the thunder still sounded louder, while the light of which sometimes illuminated his mask. For Emmeline, it was the most horrible moment in her life.

"Stefan! Help me!" tears shed down her pale face. After shouting out, she fainted away out of pain.

When hearing that, Stefan couldn't help shivering all over. He saw her faint just like a piece of withered fair blossom.

It jolted his heart all of a sudden. And he soon collected himself.

He suddenly took off his mask and his deadly attractive face was revealed. He fixed his eyes on her. Then he couldn't help bending over to kiss her pale and chapped lips…

However, he seemed to think of something. And his eyes turned to be cruel again.

The thunderstorm didn't stop until the next morning.

As the sun began to rise, the thunderstorm faded away. Stefan got up from the bed and went into the bathroom. A few minutes later, he came out and looked at Emmeline, who was still lying on the bed, unconscious. Then he turned around to leave.

When the sunlight shed into the room from the window, Emmeline slowly opened her eyes. She felt pain all over as if a truck had crushed over her body last night. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

She couldn't help gasping for air.

'Is it a nightmare?'

However, it was so different from any nightmare she had encountered. Besides, the pain all over her body told her that there was something horrible happening last night.

But she still failed to figure out who was the one breaking in last night. Why did he violate her?

Here was the island of Stefan. It was impossible for any thug to break in. Could it be Stefan Byrne?

No! Impossible! She was aware that he should be a cripple on the wheelchair all day long. How could he actually walk himself to her front last night?

Emmeline closed her eyes, feeling desperate. She lost everything. There was no way back.

She had to stay here till the end of her life. Tears shed down her pale face again.

'Just cry, Emmeline! But only once! After that, you still have to stay strong even if you are put into the hell! That's your own choice!' She murmured to herself.

Emmeline didn't walk out of her bedroom all day long. She kept herself on bed, unmoved.

Madison didn't want to see her starve herself. So she served some food in the bedroom. But Emmeline only took a little.

Meanwhile, Stefan, who was staying in the bedroom next door, was also staying up for the whole night. He had already returned to be sober after losing control last night.

Even he himself had no idea what he was doing. When he knew that she was actually not the girlfriend of Frank and she might try to deceive him with someone else, he was rendered outrageous.

However, when he returned to his room, he kept thinking about the aftertaste of his orgy last night.

He even cursed himself as a beast. However, at a second thought, he knew that she was his own wife. It was she who chose to marry him. He didn't think himself should be blamed.

However, when he noticed that Emmeline locked herself in the bedroom for a whole day, he turned to be panic. He didn't want to tell her that it was he himself who broke in last night.

He tried to convince himself that it was she who deceived him first. So he didn't plan to expose her real identity. He would like to see how long she could keep pretending.

At the thought of that, he sneered, 'Since it was you who made the choice. Don't blame me for doing so!'

However, he was still worried when he knew that she starved herself for a whole day. He was wondering if he really hurt her so much last night. Of course, as he had been abstinent for years, he failed to show enough concern with her feelings last night.

However, as aloof as he had always been, he would not take the initiative to see her. Nor would he admit that he was the one who broke in last night. He just sat on the balcony, feeling agitated.

Soon, Paul knocked the door, "Master Stefan, I have got the information you want."

He then showed Stefan a piece of file, where there written, 'Emmeline Campbell, the one who married Stefan Byrne. She is an illegitimate daughter of Nicholas Campbell, who has been discriminated

against in the family.'

"When Anayah Campbell knew that her fiancé was not Frank but you. Both she and her mother Lucia Walker have been trying to make Emmeline the substitute. And Anayah also hid herself for a few days. After that, she appeared again and stayed together with Frank."

Stefan looked at the file while hearing his words. His eyes turned to be hostile again, 'Anayah Campbell, Frank Byrne, how dare you fool me! You will soon pay the price of deceiving me! Both of you!'

"Notice our men in France! Get prepared for the action in advance!" he had made up his mind to let Frank pay a heavy price for what he had done!

Though he had never planned to marry Anayah before and he also felt lucky for marrying Emmeline, who appeared not to be the girlfriend of Frank, he still held great grudge for being deceived.

From his perspective, only the loser would be bullied. And he had been such a loser for the past nine years. Now he didn't want to be bullied again.

Paul left the study. Stefan was still carefully reading the file--

Name: Emmeline Campbell

Age: 20

Profession: A sophomore in B University, majoring in design

…

On the top of the file showed a personal photo of Emmeline, in which she smiled brightly. Her white teeth looked nicely arrayed and her blue eyes looked as pure as a pool of water. Her smiled looked

charming. But Stefan had never seen her smile.

'Being a substitute of her sister as a return for her family. What a joke! Does she deem that a set-piece in a movie?

He put down the file and saw the sun set, 'Emmeline Campbell, since you have been my wife, I will never make you suffer again though you were taken as a substitute of your sister.'

At this moment, someone knocked the door again. He turned around and deemed that it might be Emmeline as she would always come to massage him at dusk.

However, it turned out to be Madison instead, which rendered him sullen.

"Master Stefan, Mrs. Stefan hasn't eaten anything for a whole day. I am worried if she is sick."

Stefan turned to be sullen even more. He still deemed that she was just throwing a tantrum as he forced to sleep with her last night. What a weird girl!

'It was you who deceived me first! How dare you protest against me by staring yourself!'

"Just leave her alone!" Stefan was sure she would finally give up for the sake of her father.

However, Emmeline still kept herself in the bedroom for the following two days. She barely ate some food and then stood on the balcony to watch the sea, looking down as if she wanted to commit suicide.
