Nine o clock in the evening
Inside the Grimm family mansion
Everyone was in a festive mood because today was the day the daughter of the Grimm family, Octavia Grimm was finally getting married to her beloved fiancé, Dean Ambrose.
..........
In one of the rooms of the Grimm family, a girl could be seen sitting in front of an extra large mirror, the girl had light blond hair and blue eyes, she was like a masterpiece drawn by god on a canvas.
She was wearing a strapless wedding dress that enhanced her collarbone and made her look more eye catching.
The carefully tailored wedding dress hugged her slender figure tightly. And it's beautiful, full length ruffles made the eighteen year old, Octavia look more feminine.
In her country the legal age for marriage had always been eighteen, So after her eighteenth birthday, she decided to marry Dean. The man she had loved for several years
Although she had drunk a lot at her bridal shower last night, she still got up early to freshen up.
The day was breaking, and the sky was just turning bright outside as the sun was beginning to rise slowly from the east,
Miss Octavia, everything is ready, it's still early. Why don't you rest for a while? We will come back for your makeup in two hour's ,suggested the staff who was helping her dress up with a smile
Okay" Octavia looked at the dark circle under her eyes and nodded.
She still felt a little bit groggy because she drank too much last night. So she picked up the glass on the table and drank two mouthful of water.
When the staff left,a maid came in with a cup of coffee and put it on front of Octavia.
Octavia gulp down two mouthful of it. Maybe because she drank too much wine last night, the tip of her tongue was bitter. The coffee tasted a bit strange to her.
After finishing the coffee, she didn't drink anymore. She just sat down on the sofa and closed her eyes
A few minute later, the door of her room was gently pushed open, and someone came in quietly.
Octavia didn't fall asleep. She secretly half opened her eyes and glanced around. She found out that the person who came in was Selene, her half sister.
Octavia's step mother was the one who had broken her parent's marriage, so she despises her stepmother and Selene. She had never bothered to get along with them
So she wondered what Selene was doing in her room right now.
Selene took a quick glance at the empty cup on the table. Her mouth curved into a wicked smile as she lowered her head to look at Octavia. " Octavia do you really think you can marry dean ? I am the real daughter of the head of the Grimm family.
You will never know what is in the cup of coffee you just drink. But I will make sure that you enjoy your weeding night in advance.
She then took out her phone and dialed a number. " are the two bodyguards I have arranged especially for Octavia ready? Tell them to come here.
Octavia opened her eyes wide in shock upon hearing what Selene had said. She knew that Selene had never liked her. But she didn't expect that Selene was this vicious.
It seemed that Selene wanted to drug her and find someone to rape her. Such a vicious woman.
Octavia stood up and sneered. Selene heard some movement, so she turned around. Seeing Octavia standing in front of her, she took a few steps back. " you... you are not asleep.
"Selene, it must have been very hard for you to pretend to be a good daughter in the Grimm family for a long time. Do you feel comfortable now that you have finally taken off that hypocritical mask of yours? Octavia said with a hint of mockery in her cold eyes.
" I don't understand what you mean. " Selene face turned deadly paled. She was so scared to be exposed that her nails dug into her palms, and she didn't dare to stare into Octavia cold eyes.
Octavia grabbed Selene wrist, she was taller than Selene, so she blocked the way out of the room with her body not giving Selene any chance of escape.
Octavia used her other hand to pinch Selene chin, forcing her mouth open wide.
There was a rare coldness in Octavia lazy voice then she said, No matter what's in this soup it yours now, so drink it.
She then let go of Selene wrist and picked up the coffee and poured into Selene mouth.
Selene struggled desperately, shaking her head. But she couldn't break free from Octavia grip, so she had no choice but to let Octavia shove the coffee into her mouth indiscriminately.
I didn't... Octavia....Let go of me, Selene was choking and coughing nonstop.
With a pitiful look on her face. She shook her head vigorously.
The door suddenly opened and a handsome man strode in. Seeing the scene, he immediately grabbed Octavia wrist and pulled away from Selene.
He was utterly surprised. " Octavia what are you doing?
Dean, you are just in time. Selene put some drugs in the coffee. She has also asked some bodyguards to rape me. Thank god, I saw through her plan. Now I wan her to taste her coffee, Octavia reply calmly. A trace of contempt was visible in her beautiful eyes.
The gentle look on Dean face changed when he heard what Octavia said. " is it true"
Selene shook her head pitifully. " no it isn't , how can I do such a thing? Octavia I know that you don't like me, and I can tolerate that. But how can you frame me for such a thing? Mr Ambrose, I really didn't do it.
Looking at her pitiful face, Dean felt a little sorry for Selene. He turned to Octavia and said, Octavia, you already the precious daughter of the head of the Grimm family no one can take that position from you. Why do you have to do this to Selene.
Dean worlds sounded so harsh in Octavia ear, she felt so uneasy upon hearing him called her half sister by her name. When did they become so close
"Are you suspecting that I am deliberately framing her? She asked looking at Dean in
Disbelief.
It okay for you to be willful at times. But you have to know that there are things you can't just joke about, Dean said to Octavia. He then looked at Selene with pity in his eyes and added, Selene always puts up with you. But enough is enough
Octavia stared at Dean handsome face.
Seeing his self righteous face she felt so ridiculous.
She then asked in a sarcastic tone, you believed her instead of me?
Dean turned his face sideways, his fist clenching in his pocket. He didn't answer her question
What is going on here? Why are you guys fighting again? Noah Grimm , octavia father and his wife Sarah Grimm, rushed into the room together.
Selene immediately threw herself into Sarah arms and cried aggrievedly, mom I really didn't drug octavia. I also didn't find someone to rape her. How could I do such a thing.
The expression on Sarah face slightly changed "octavia, there may be some sort of misunderstanding? Sarah said anxiously
Selene cried bitterly. How could I do such a heartless thing and ruin your life? Doing such a thing will also ruin my own life. Do you I am not afraid of jail?
Sarah voice was filled with pain, she turned her head and said to Noah. Hubby I believed Selene will never do such a thing. But it seems we can't reconcile
