Genius Girl - Chapter 257
Genius 257
They said the money can make anyone do anything you want and seemed like it was right. Looking at the view in front of her, Daniella blinked her eyes.
Inside of the church, standing at the other end of the aisle she stared at Jared standing a meter away from the priest. They were going to practice the march for tomorrow's wedding,
Everything has been set. The altar, the invitation has been sent to people as well. Fresh flowers were decorated from where the Arche she was standing on all the way to the altar. The floor with red carpet and few petals scattered everywhere.
A welcome sign with her name and Jared's name outside of the church was printed in calligraphy. Daniella held the bouquet tightly and marched to the altar. Eyes focused at Jared but her mind was somewhere else, it was in the place full of Evan's memory.
When she reached the altar, Jared held her hand. They stood in front of the priest and practised their bows.
After that short practice. Daniella and Jared drove back to the casino. Daniella in her white chiffon dress and three inches heels entered the place with hand locked on Jared's arm.
After entering, they were greeted by people under the Golden Club gang. Since Jared announcement about their engagement, they all treated her as their boss, something she needed after finding out about Kierry.
'You can use my army to protect you from Kierry but help me secure my family from Althea.'
That was the deal she needed to accept to get Kierry out of hiding.
'Your body is special Daniella.'
Those words came from Jared's mouth from the time she found out about Kierry's existence.
'They let you fell for Evan so you can bear him a child that they can use.'
Anger rushed over her but her face remained emotionless.
While Jared led her inside of the casino, Daniella's mind flew back on the day she made a deal with Jared.
—
Staring at the picture of the woman who saved her and supposed to be dead, Daniella gripped it tightly.
She gritted her teeth while her eyes changed into black. She gulped hard, her body was aching to find her and rip her apart, torture her until she begs and tell her why did she kill her brother.
As her breathing quickened, the heart monitor beeped rapidly. Jared got up and pulled the wire attached on her chest.
She glared at Jared, gripped his neck with her hands choking him.
"How did you know that she is alive?" she asked in a grave voice.
Jared patted her hand, asking her to pull away so he can breathe and explain himself.
"When I was following you. I found out that someone else was tailing you too. I thought it was just one of your enemy but I found out that it was Evan Su's sister in law Kierry," he coughed hard and walked a few steps back until he reached the hospital bed, and so he sat on it and continued.
"I got curious so I checked Evan's family background only to find out that Kierry had died a long time ago."
When he was able to get himself back, the colour on his face returned.
"She was not alone. She was with Arthur Schmidt. Your father."
Daniella's face blanched upon hearing it. Her heart stopped for a moment as he stared at Jared.
"I thought he was protecting you given that he was your real father then I got a report that he was working under an organization based in Russia."
Daniella focused on him and let him continue. She remained like a tree rooted in her spot.
"I used all of my resources to find out about the organization but no luck," he shook his head looking down on the floor.
"Your business is not mine so I stopped there. I can't afford to offend an organization that is being run by powerful people."
Daniella's body slid down, she leaned her back on the wall and took a sharp breath.
Then, Jared approached her. He squatted in front of her and placed both hands on her shoulder.
"Daniella. I found out that all they wanted was you to bear a child."
With those words, Daniella elevated her chin and looked at him confusedly.
"If they think my child is going to be special, well they are wrong. I have a son and he is perfectly normal."
Daniella thought Jared would be shocked to hear it but he wasn't instead he nodded and sat on the floor opposite of her.
"Your body is special Daniella. They need the fetus to grow inside your body. And you know better that your body would only accept a certain person."
When that person came to her mind, Daniella sighed. He was right, just like her other emotion, l.u.s.t was also heightened.
"Kierry knew that Evan was someone you can fall with so she set you up," Jared continued explaining every time he mentioned Evan's name, a pang of pain ran over her chest.
Daniella leaned her head on the wall and looked up at the ceiling. She heaved a heavy sighed and looked at Jared again.
"Fighting a secret and powerful organization is like going to a war blindfolded and empty-handed. So Daniella," Jared cupped her cheeks and looked deeply into his eyes.
"Use my army to fight Kierry and in exchange, help me secure my family."
Daniella gulped hard, she could see the determination shining in Jared's eyes.
"What do you need me to do?" she asked in a low voice.
Jared freed her cheeks and pursed his lips. Then, he took out another photo from his coat and handed it to her.
When Daniella looked down, she saw a photo of Jared and a small baby girl together with the old couple she once met at Amy's office.
"Help me get Galla. That throne belongs to my sister. If you get us there, my army and the whole kingdom will be under your command."
Daniella fell into silence. She had her eyes locked on the photo contemplating of what best for her and Evan.
"Fine," she said eventually. She got up to leave but Jared held her hand.
"I am glad you agree but you should know that if you want my people, you will need to get their trust."
Daniella's lips formed a bitter smile. She had read what was running in Jared's mind and her mind was against it.
"The only way to get my people to respect is when you marry me. It will also cause confusion in Kierry's side."
Daniella couldn't' agree more. She didn't give her answer, instead, she pulled her hand away from his grip and said, "I want to meet the people that hurt Evan, and my phone," saying that she looked at the phone in Jared's pocket, "answer that call. Tell them that I am alright and I am meeting Evan later."
