Chapter 21: Gwenda's Future Husband
Gwenda interrupted him flatly and glared at him. "Are you trying to tell me that though Gretchen seduced you away from me, she's still a good person? And I, the victim, can't even blame her, but must forgive
her, right?"
"That's not what I meant..."
"Then what do you mean?" Gwenda raised her voice.
"Keep your voice down-" Martin looked around, fearing that he would be humiliated if he was seen by the neighbours.
"What, you dare to do it but dare not admit it? Martin Morel, you are an absolute scumbag!"
Hearing that, Martin frowned and said, "Hey, could you stop messing around? You were not like this before."
Gwenda closed her eyes. Why was she even arguing with a scumbag who slept with his fianceé's younger sister? How silly of her.
Taking a deep breath, she said, "Forget it, I don't want to argue about this anymore. I told you, the engagement is cancelled. You both can do whatever the hell you like, just don't show up in front of me ever again."
With that, she keyed in the passcode and reached out to open the door.
Martin stepped forward and blocked her path with his body. He then grabbed her arm to prevent her from opening the door. "Gwenda..."
"Let go!"
"Gwenda..."
"Let-"
Martin was still pestering Gwenda when the door of Gwenda's house suddenly opened with a loud bang.
Martin stumbled when he was hit.
Both of them looked up, only to see a tall figure standing by the door.
He wore casual clothes and had a bandage on his arm, but these could not cover up his distinguished aura.
His face was cold, and an air of hostility could be sensed from him as he stepped forward.
Gwenda's heart skipped a beat when she saw him.
Martin was also surprised.
Before he could react, Olivier grabbed onto the arm holding on to Gwenda and broke it with a loud crunch. He then proceeded to throw Martin aside with force.
"Ah!"
Martin smacked into the wall, his ribs slamming against it, which caused his face to twist from the pain.
Holding on to his broken arm in pain, he glared at Olivier and demanded, "Who... Who are you?"
Olivier ignored him and looked at Gwenda with concern, "Are you alright?" before he pulled her towards the door.
"Let's go inside."
"Hold the f*ck up! Who the hell are you?" Martin had never been ignored by another like this. He roared angrily, "Gwenda Evans, is this why you wanted to cancel the engagement with me? Because of this man? Humph, and here I thought I was the one in the wrong! Turns out you are the one who cheated on me first!"
Hearing this, Gwenda froze before turning around. She then stepped forward and viciously slapped Martin in the face.
"Don't you dare speculate about me with your filthy ideologies! I have always been a person of integrity, unlike you!"
Having been slapped, Martin was in further pain and also furious. Glaring at her, he snarled. "Then who the hell is he? Don't you tell me that there's nothing going on between the two of you!"
"It's none of your business..." Gwenda began to snap back when she fell into a warm embrace.
Olivier had walked behind Gwenda and pulled her into his arms. He eyed Martin coldly and said, "I am Gwenda's future husband."
Silence fell amongst the three as Gwenda and Martin stared at him.
Martin was stunned, disbelief spreading over his face.
"What did you say?"
He thought that he had misheard. "You're Gwenda's future husband? How is that possible!?"☐☐☐☐
