My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Two weeks later, when the buzz on the internet had died down, another news began to float on the same issue.

Mariana’s assistant had posted Mariana’s marriage certificate and pointed out the date.

The date was almost three months prior. It left the speculating netizens speechless.

The person they accused of abandoning his lover and the shameless hussy – they were a legit married couple.

Mariana’s assistant also posted another picture for a private banquet introducing the family only.

She added a simple caption without any explanations.

“It’s troublesome being rich. People try to break your marriage when they know you are married. And people try to force you into marriage when they don’t know you are already married. The men are always bastards, and women are always sluts.”

It was sarcastic but explained the marriage debacle between the two best friends.

The netizens recalled how Liliana was targeted and realized both girls were dealing with shameless people who could stoop very low to discredit them to achieve their selfish motives.

The rumors died down naturally.

James’s parents were stunned.

If Mariana was already married to Liam, what was James doing?

They began to regret mingling with Jessi and Julie – Liam’s family members to separate Mariana and James.

They made themselves the enemy when there was nothing to fix between the youngsters.

They also began to doubt the motive of both sisters.

Mrs. Miller called James and asked, “You told me Mariana was pregnant with your child.”

James laughed sarcastically, “When did I say that? If you thought Mariana was with me, why did you go on Twitter announcing otherwise, ruining my friend’s reputation?”

His mother was speechless.

James added further. “Mom, I think you are getting on age and mixing people. Mariana is with Liam, and they are already married. Yes, I love Mariana, and I tried to pursue her. But you meddled and ruined my chances. Instead, it allowed Mariana and Liam to realize their mutual feelings and act on them.”

“I must congratulate you for bringing them together.”

The sarcasm and self-mockery in his voice were evident. His mother did not know how to retort to him. Until then, James still claimed to be in love with her.

Were they wrong?

She did not have anything to say and hung up.

She feared for their relationship. It seemed James was determined to freeze them out. He sounded rather heartbroken and disheartened.

On the other hand, Liam got reinstated. He finally heaved a sigh. He acted unconcerned and asked for a week off to make the matter public and formally introduce his wife to the family.

His supervisors allowed it without a fuss.

But they demanded an audience with his wife and asked him to register it as a Military marriage.

Mariana was having trouble dealing with the reality of her situation. She was married to the man she saw as her brother, and the timing for it was even more incredible. It happened when she was starting to develop feelings for another man.

She had lost some weight and was forlorn. James had tried to cheer her up, but it made her feel worse.

Mariana met with Liam’s supervisors and was respectful to them.

When they asked about the nature of their relationship, she hesitated.

Liam felt his heart would leap out of his throat. But he kept his expression deadpan.

He trusted Mariana, but she was talking to some of the most well-trained people in the City. They could sniff a lie from a mile away.

She was no Liliana and hadn’t received rigorous training like her. Besides, Mariana was naturally an upfront person. She was emotional and sheltered.

Liam felt awful for subjecting her to his problems.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

What kind of man was he to subject his best friend, his sister, to that horror? He was practically ruining her life and her chances.

His supervisors looked at him, but he maintained a deadpan expression.
