Chapter 154 - Even If I'm Dead

April 2014,

Luna was spacing out at her garden when someone's coming and Mr. Carson is not in the house. He went to town to buy food supplies for them.

Luna has been using her own money to pay for everything in this house. From the food, bills and even the salary of three people who still working with her. She has lost her smile and turns a bit skinny than before. She looks pale and sick.

That someone who comes to the house today is the vogue girl from the city. Clicking her heels on the marbles floor and laughing mockingly looking at the house state after a few months Raymond didn't comes home. Luna turns her head to the side slightly when she heard Sarah's voice echoing from the living hall. Not interested at all to greet her or even inviting her in.

"Luna…Luna…Luna…such a loser. Remember our challenge?" She twirls her hair in front of her happily like a crazy person which then Luna only looks at her blankly.

"I won. See.." She shows her a picture of Raymond and her at one of the gala party. Looking so perfect together. He was wrapping his hand around her waist and they were so close. It hurt her. She'd be lying to say that she's not hurting after seeing that photo.

"So what you want?" She averts her teary eyes to the vicious woman in front of her.

"What I want?? hahaha.." Still laughing like a clown.

"Oh…I want nothing. I just want to laugh at you, that's why I coming here. So sad, being abandoned, alone..but don't worry. Soon enough, he will divorce you. Yes! He will DIVORCE you and marry me. You hear me?" She presses the word 'divorce' to her and mockingly shows a crying baby expression to her.

"Oh~ poor Luna.. a peasant girl who lives in a fantasy world now has to wake up huh?"

Luna wipes her tears roughly and glares at the girl. "Are you done? Are you satisfy now?"

"Oh, not yet Luna~ wait until he divorce you. I will laugh out loud in front of you. Making fun of you for a whole day. I couldn't wait!"

Luna chuckles to hear her confident tone. "Are you sure he will divorce me? You think you already won?"

Sarah snapped her head to the girl and squinting her eyes. "What do you mean? He loves me now..he's with me now..and we kiss, we have sex and do everything that a couple should do."

Luna laughs to hear that. "Stupid woman. Do you think I'd believe that? Listen well, Sarah. He loves me. He's FUCKING IN LOVE with me! Anything he does, everywhere he went will only make him remember me. You may think you won now..but, good luck trying to erasing me in his mind." She smirks at her. She was just blabbering while putting a tough defense for herself. Never that she thought it will come true one day. Though it takes years for it to happen.

Sarah grit her teeth. What she says is something that hit right at her spot. Even until now, Raymond still a little reluctant to every effort she tries to seduce him.

"If you thinking that he be able to divorce me, just wait and see...I would not make that happen. Even if I'm dead, I will not sign the damn paper. Now, get out of this house! You're not welcome here." She said again to which Sarah grin evilly.

"We'll see. He gonna divorce you, whatever you think you can stop him, he will…divorce you in the end. And ah! You're invited to my wedding day. I'll bear in mind that you don't need an invitation card to come. You're 'special' ." she laughs and walks out of the house.

Luna sighs when Sarah is finally gone and wipe her tears which fall again. "Damn you Raymond!" she punches the armrest and curled up into a ball shape until Mr. Carson returns home.

When Luna in that state, he immediately know, she was crying and didn't have the heart to lie to her again. What else could he say? He already checks and Raymond was really in New York and seems healthy than before.

As to why he didn't come back, he also not sure and he can't contact any person in the main mansion now. His father was away with Madam Victoria and he hope, the Madam will soon return home. Everything is in a mess since she was away.

….

May 2014,

"What's this?" Raymond shows his mother the paper in his hand with a shocked expression.

"Uh, Raymond..actually I have something I need to tell you, but I was afraid. Please don't get mad at me.."

Inhaling, he lowered his head and went to the sofa at the front of the desk. "Fine…talk then."

He takes a seat and Barbara follows to sit right next to him. "This is happening all because of your grandmother. She creates this contract for you to marry a caretaker after you had an accident. She thought that Sarah won't able to take care of you, and I…even begging her to not do this, but she keeps on going with the idea."

Raymond frowned. "A caretaker? Why though?"

Barbara wipes her fake tears. "Because you were sick back then..but we all have been deceived by that girl. She just wanted your money. Look, your grandma gives her a sum of enormous money just for taking care of you. All this while, Sarah was the one who takes care of you while she only pretending to be good in front of your grandma."

"Where is she now?" Raymond asked. He wanted to meet with the girl himself, face-to-face.

"She-she already run away with the money. She is good for nothing," She sobbing and continue again, "Raymond, I think it's better if you divorce her now. Let her go and you can marry Sarah after that."

Raymond turned silent. "How am I supposed to find her if she already runs away? I don't know how she looks like. I never met her." He then shrugged his shoulder a bit.

Smiling, Barbara suddenly leans closer to him. "I know how to find her, she likes money. And I can send my people to handed her the divorce paper, what do you think? After all, Raymond…Sarah isn't getting any younger. You both should marry and have plenty of children."

Raymond faintly smiles at her. 'I'm not even turn on when I'm with her, how am I supposed to give you grandchildren?'

"Just find this 'wife' of mine first. Then we'll talk about other things later." He stares at the contract before he frowned again.

"But, mother..what about the 'child' in this contract?" Raymond suddenly remembered that it states if either one of them wants to divorce, she has to give him a child.

"We can pay her some money and you can go to the law firm to cancel this contract, right? When your grandma returned we can explain it to her that you don't love her." Barbara shrugged her shoulder.

"But-"

Barbara pat on his arm gently. "Honey, don't worry. Your grandma will listen to you. You after all…the next head of the Wayne clan. You hold such power. You should show your grandma that it is now the right time for her to retire. She's old now, Raymond. Poor her. She should rest at home and play with her great-grandchildren, right?"

Raymond doesn't know what to say right now. Ever since he wakes up from the surgeries, everything has been too weird for him.
