Chapter 197 197 Wife?

Name:Release That Succubus Author:


Clara heard Christina's answer and couldn't help but storm towards her in anger breaking quite a few floor tiles in the process.

She grabbed a hold of Zach's arm and pulled her towards herself. Clara hid Zach behind her back as she proceeded to glare at Christina righteously.

"You are a liar. There is no way you are her wife. He has only one wife and her name is Diana. You didn't think I would have met her before, did you? Tell me, what is your purpose in approaching and acting so familiar with him?"

Zach was dumbfounded at the way Clara was protecting him from Christina as if she was some horrible monster that would gobble him up in one go.

Christina on the other hand was lost in thought. She obviously knew who Diana was. The girl of the Luther family had left a deep impression on Christina on the day of the product launch of Trucks and on the day Zach made his escape from Elizabeth city. But as far as she knew, there was no such relationship between Zach and the girl. Even if there was, Christina would expect Zach to tell him something that important during one of their numerous phone calls.

As such she didn't answer Clara and instead focused the venom in her gaze towards Zach who was hiding behind the little girl's back without any shame.

There were thousands of questions swirling in Christina's mind at the moment but she stared at Zach with a smile on her face that was obviously not a smile. It was oozing with malicious intent which filled the entire atmosphere with dark and gloomy aura.

"Since when did Diana become your wife? Don't you think you should have told me if you were going to do things like these behind my back? So many phone calls and not a single peep out of you on such an important matter; I want to see how you justify yourself." Christina had lost the prim lady attitude and the wit she had cultivated all her life. She was acting like any woman who had been cheated on would act.

The only thing keeping her from falling into a vat of jealousy and anger was the answer he had yet to give her.

Zach could tell the change in the air. Christina was truly getting angry now and was no longer playing around. Therefore, he decided to intervene before matters got out of hand.

"Of course, we aren't married. If something like that had happened I would have definitely told you. I don't like to hide things from you." replied Zach calmly as at least one of them needed to be sensible in the conversation.

"Then who is she? And why is she asking me who I am?"

"That's Clara. She is the young lady of the Windsor family. I previously helped her out during our journey here and we got along well with her. So her family helped us out in return by helping us get the land for our new home."

"That doesn't seem to answer my question. Why is she acting so intimate with you?"

Zach was in for a headache. This wasn't the Christina he knew. The woman he knew was so level headed and simple to get along with and yet he was here explaining himself to her. He wondered what kind of bad luck he had encountered today.

"Since I wanted to hide my identity from the royals, her father suggested that I act as her fiancé whom he had decided on in her childhood. This gave me an identity to operate freely in this city without worrying about being hounded by the royal family. But this girl takes playing house too far sometimes. She is a little passionate but isn't too bad to get along with. She is kind and good hearted once you get to know her. I am su…"

He was heartlessly interrupted by Clara who almost turned her head one eighty degrees to the back in order to glare at Zach.

She ground her teeth viciously as she stared holes in Zach's body with a fierce look in her eyes and spat out the words she had been holding back all this time. She was hurt that Zach would try to hide his relationship with her in front of Christina.

"He is my fiancé and we are about to get married soon. I don't know who you are but please don't interfere in my relationship with him. Our marriage has already been approved by my father and the Smith family and we are going to make it official soon."

Clara went on to grab Zach's hand as if it was the most natural thing to do. And at the same time she glared at him with ferocity to indicate that she would break his wrist if he tried to shake her hand off this time.

Zach was stuck between a rock and a hard place and before he could resolve the misunderstanding between the two girls, another shriek came from behind them.

All three of them were startled out of their thoughts and they turned towards the source of the pained scream wondering what kind of tragic event had taken place in the vicinity for such a grief stricken shriek to resound so loudly around them.

The woman with the startled and saddened scream was none other than Diana who had overheard Clara announcing her marriage with Zach.

Diana finally lost it. She had somehow accepted that Zach spent most of his time with Luna and therefore accepted his relationship with her only because Luna had been with him first. It had been her limit when Zach got together with Christina even though she had met him first. That dissatisfaction had been the reason she hadn't attended the wedding ceremony held in Luther family estate in Elizabeth city.

Fate willed it so the wedding didn't reach its conclusion and Diana had been trying to get close to Zach ever since then.
