Jes POV continues . . .
I was confused and stunned as I saw step mom with Austin's parents.
"Jes! My dear daughter," step mom smiled as she went near me and hugged me.
I was more than confused now. Step mom is hugging me? She never hugged me before. She never even called me as her daughter? Why is she being so nice?
"Jes!" Austin's mom said.
"Mom, you know her?" Austin asked.
"Of course, Austin. Remember, I told you that I select a woman for you," Austin's mom said. "This is her. She is Jessica."
Austin looked st me and seamed a bit confused and when his eyes landed on step mom who was still hugging me, he seamed more confused.
"Step . . ." Before I could say anything, step mom pinched in my side of my stomach. I winced in pain pills, understanding her signal that I should call her mom. "Mom, what are you doing here?" I asked.
Step mom pulled away from the hug and said, "Actually, Austin's mom and I are friends. That is how we set you and Jes together. However, I didn't know you are in China, Jes. But, yesterday, at night, one of my man . . .I mean, my worker saw you in the airport and she told me about you. That's when I took a private jet and rushed to China before you and Jes."
"What?" I asked.
"Yeah," mom said.
"Yeah, I didn't even know that you and Austin are already girlfriend and boyfriend," Austin's mom smirked.
I looked at Austin and she seamed a bit confused.
"Mom, how did you know about us?" Austin asked.
Yeah, even if was confused. How did mom got to know that Austin and Iare girlfriend and boyfriend or atleast, fake girlfriend and boyfriend?
"Well, I had my ways," step mom laughed.
I knew that laugh. Step mom laughs like thst when she usually follows somebody. Wait, that means . . . All these time, Austin and I were being followed. Oh goodness! Good thatI didn't say anything to Austin or else, step mom would have hurt him and me as well.
"Plus, we already decided something," Austin's dad smiled.
"Dad, what are you talking about?" Austin asked.
"Well, we decided that you and Jes are going to be married!" Austin's dad laughed.
I was stunned. Married? Me and Austin? That mean, Ihave to shoot him . . . In our wedding night . . .
"Dad," Austin interrupted as he seamed a bit annoyed. "I need to go to Ayumi's room."
"Yeah, son," Austin's dad said.
Austin ran upstairs.
"Well, Jes is very tired," step mom said. "She should take some rest."
"Sure," Austin's dad said. "Olivia, Ethan, take Jes to her room. Ella, prepare some food for our future daughter in law."
Olivia and Ethan nodded as the siblings rushed to me and leaned me to my new room.
The room was beautiful. The room had a small swimming pool and a huge bedroom and nice furniture. Goodness! How rich is this family?
"So, this is your room, Jes," Olivia said.
"Yeah, you have to stay alone in this room. Atleast, before marriage with Austin," Ethan laughed as Olivia joined him in laugher.
"Honestly Jes, I never seen Jes with another woman. I guess he is lucky to ahve you," Olivia said. "I don't know you well but you look so sweet and nice so I love you already."
"Yeah, atleast you are less ugly than my dear sister," Ethan smirked as he patted Olivia's forhead.
"Ethan! Did you just call me ugly!?" Olivia yelled as she puched Ethan.
"Olivia! How dare you!? I am elder than you! You don't hurt me!" Ethan yelled.
"Then you shouldn't have called me ugly, Ethan!" She yelled.
"You little . . !" Ethan yelled as he chased after Olivia as the siblings ran out of the room.
I laughed. I love Austin's siblings already.
"So, seams like you are enjoying yourself, Jes," I heard step mom.
Step mom went in the room and closed the door.
"Mom . . ."
"Step mom! I don't need you to call me mom," step mom yelled.
"Yes," I said. I am used to eith her yelling.
"You and Austin are a couple now and you didn't bother to tell me that!" Step mom yelled.
"I . . ."
"Shut up, you b***h!" Step mom yelled as she suddenly held my throat and pinned me on the wall.
I was having third time breathing. Step mom was pinning me down with my neck. "Step . . . Mom . . ."
"You! How dare you not to inform me about Austin and you," she yelled as she pushed me more.
She banged my head on the wall. I winced in pain as I felt pain on my head.
"Jes!" We heard Austin's mom saying from outside of the room.
Step mom let go of my neck as I coughed and I started to breath properly.
"You are getting married with Austin within a week. I set everything. Remember, Jes . . . I need you to marry Austin and if you don't do what you are suppose to do in your wedding night then I won't spare you. Understand!?" Step mom yelled.
"Yeah," I said. "Don't worry, step mom, I will do whatever you told me to do."
"You better . . . Or else, Melody won't be unharmed. Remember, she is not even 1 year old. A simple attack on her can . . ."
"No! Step mom please," I said as tears ran down my eyes. Melody is too precious to me. I cannot let anybody hurt her. "Please, don't hurt her. I will do whatever you said, step mom. But, please don't hurt her."
Step mom looked at me with disgust and went out of my room.
I fell on my kness on the floor and began to sob. How long will this tourcher go on? Melody, please be safe, baby. I knew I have to shoot Austin in our wedding night. But, why is it so hard for me think suchcruelly for Austin? Why? Austin never hurted me. Rather, he is so caring. Austin doesn't deserve to be hurt. Expecially by me when Austin helped me so much. But, which should I choose. I need to save Melody and if I have to save her, then I have to hurt Austin which I don't want to do. Which should Ichoose? Melody, who means the world to me . . . Or Austin, who can make my heart race like crazy.
