Burn Those Who Burned Me novel Chapter 13

Chapter 131

Noah walked over to her, his words basically telling me he regretted ever possibly choosing my side over hers.

“I won’t do it Livie!! I love you!!”

Jonathan cried out while hugging her tight.

Suddenly, Sharon made her way over to me as I stood to leave.

SLAP!

Sharon hit my face hard, my cheek felt like it was on fire.

“How dare you disrespect this family like this! I should never have brought you back here!

You’re nothing but a plague! If only that fool-”

Sharon stopped mid–sentence as if she were about to say too much. Composing herself,

she walked back over to Olivia. What the hell was that about? Glaring back at Sharon, I

spoke.

“Let that be the last time you ever put your hands on me again!”

Sharon’s eyes widen as she backed away. The eeriness of my tone and my eyes made her

nervous.

I looked around at the freakshow also know as my family. She was right one thing; I

didn’t belong here. I decided now was the time to tell them.

“Father, I’ll be leaving tomorrow morning.”

Silence.

“And going where! I have no time for your drama-”

“To South Bay. I’ve been offered a marriage proposal from the Christiansens.”

The room fell quiet for a moment before laughter erupted.

“Hahahah!! I must say Graceland; you definitely have a future in comedy. What type of fools

do you take us for!”

Jonathan continued to laugh.

“Graceland, enough of the lies. Why would a family as prominent as the Christiansens want you to marry their son?”

Noah looked at me with pure disgust.

Shrugging my shoulders, face nonchalant.

“Ask them yourself tomorrow. They’ll be here in the morning.”

Silence.

“Graceland, what type of game are you playing at?”

I looked Calvin dead in the eyes and walked away. Five minutes later, I returned with an

envelope in my hand and tossed it on the table. Calvin looked at me with a puzzled

expression.

“What’s this!”

“It’s the marital contract from the Christiansens. Ready for you to sign.”

“Dad, it’s true.”

GASPS!!!

“What! Let me see!”

“Graceland!!! This is wonderful news!!! Why didn’t you tell me this sooner!!!”

“What! Are you telling me it’s true! SHE is marrying into House Christiansen! How!!”

Calvin looked at Sharon with irritation. He didn’t care about the how’s or whys, all he

knew was he would now have the protection, benefits, and connections of House

Christiansen.

“Who cares how!”

Calvin beamed as he made his way over to me with a huge smile on his face.

Disgusting.

“Finally, Graceland, finally you’re showing you’re worthy of being a Rochester.”

This fucking prick. So I guess years of being a maid and step stool wasn’t showing my

worth.

He moved in to hug me, but I stepped back. For a brief moment, I could see an expression of anguish, masking it with a smile, he continued.

“What time will they be here tomorrow?”

“9am. So, I need you to sign those documents as soon as possible.”

I spoke in a disassociated tone causing Noah to get agitated.

“Is THIS why you’ve been behaving this way? You think you’re special because you’re

marrying into House Christiansen?”

Calvin glared at me.

“I most certainly hope not! Never forget Graceland, you are a Rochester first!”

I smiled inwardly, not according to my contract.
