• The Forgotten Bride   CHAPTER SEVENTY SEVEN: THE ONE WHO BURIED LIES WITH FIRE

  I swung my head to her direction all the while wondering how she was able to figure that out. How did she finally find out that I had lied to Amara about this and did she already tell her? Something in me told me that she didnt. She was going to use this information to blackmail me and so she would keep it to herself, I wasnt even sure that she had told her partner in crime, my mother. "What happened, my husband? Am I lying about what I just said? Have you not told her that you are now single even when you are not?" She asked again, with that same smirk on her face, the same one that made me almost want to knock her head and get her to leave. My spine went rigid, but I could not ask her how she knew about it. My face was still emotionless but I knew that if i should open my mouth to talk, she will figure out exactly how I was feeling and I could not have that. "I bet you are probably wondering how I figured out all of these, right? Well, let me put you out of your misery. I overhe

• The Forgotten Bride   CHAPTER SEVENTY SIX: SAY IT LIKE YOU MEAN IT

  Liam’s POVI looked at all the documents that were in front of me, the papers were not blurry but somehow, my vision was. The documents were able to spell out everything that I should have definitely seen in the past but for some reasons, I didnt. Or maybe the reason was that I just didn't want to. They were receipts of hush money, a forged divorce papers that I once found in my mom's room. I could have asked her there and then what was actually going on but I didnt. I trusted her too much and now it was going to come back and bite me in the ass. The documents made me become dizzy, I couldnt imagine the number of things that I actually never really paid attention to and now they were coming for my life. All of these documents had dared me to burn the illusion I was living in but somehow, I had still maintained that I was doing the right thing by turning a blind eye to it back then. I couldn’t do that anymore and at the very bottom of the pile of documents before me was the final na

• The Forgotten Bride   CHAPTER SEVENTY FIVE: THE TRUTH

  "I'm the one humiliating you," I asked, trying my best to hold back the sarcastic laugh that wanted to burst out of me. I did not just understand why she thought that I could be easily deceived like that. It made absolutely no sense to me. "Are you even listening to yourself at all? No, can you actually hear what you are saying to me? How am I the one embarrassing you when it is very obvious that all you have been trying to do since is run me to the ground with your useless petty words?""I am trying to protect you from that woman inside. Listen to me all she does is lie and she is lying to you. I am trying to get you to not believe her lies." I so badly wanted to tell her that I knew everything. I wanted to inform her that I knew about the ridiculous stories she cooked up for Amara just to get her to leave town and do everything in her power to forget about me. I wanted to tell her that I knew what she and my mom were busy doing behind my back but I also knew the would be no point

• The Forgotten Bride   CHAPTER SEVENTY FOUR: BROKEN VOWS AND SHATTERED LIES

  I knew she was not expecting anything close to that but she should have really not thought that I would consider little about her emotions, especially when she had the nerves to come into the same place that I had told her over and over again that she should not go to. She desperately wanted to defile me, it was almost as if she was scared of me finding out something and apparently that fear was more greater than the fear she had of losing her identity and all the money she had in this world. Ivy stared at Steve like she had a way to destroy him and when she finally noticed that he was way bigger and probably more stronger than her, he just resulted to ask, "who the hell are you?" "I'm the guy that will gladly rip you into shreds when others are hesitating on what to do to you so if you know what is right at all, I suggest you step back before I do what I really want to do." Ivy was not the kind of woman who loved to fail and it was so evident. She took few steps back before turni

• The Forgotten Bride   CHAPTER SEVENTY THREE: THE FINAL PIECES OF THE PUZZLE?

  My head spun. A thousand puzzle pieces flew through my mind, rearranging themselves, but none of them fit.“No… no, that’s not...” I dragged a hand through my hair. “She said that to you?”Amara’s throat worked as she swallowed, but her eyes never left mine. “Yes, she told me that when you met your mother, before your accident, you told your mom that you didnt want me. That you regretted everything and that I was a mistake, one you wanted to get rid of but you just didnt know how to. She told me that the plan to get rid of me was suggested by you and your mom played along till it finally happened. I couldnt believe it but then you went to meet your mom by yourself and before you left, you were very distant, so maybe it is true."My knees nearly buckled. “That’s a lie.”“I know that now,” she snapped. “But back then? I was pregnant. Scared. Alone. You were unreachable. Your family hated me. I had no one.” Her voice broke, but she straightened, wiping the emotion off her face like war

• The Forgotten Bride   CHAPTER SEVENTY TWO: ROUND TWO

  I stepped back into the elevator, ignoring the fact that my pulse was already skyrocketing. I clenched my fist as tight as I could as I stood inside like a man who was possessed, my jaw was already ticking and my mind was racing. I pounded up the stairs two at a time. My heart wasn’t beating—it was thundering. My vision blurred with a cocktail of fury, confusion, and something I refused to name. Fear? No. Desperation.I didn’t even bother knocking this time. I slammed the door open. Amara was pacing. Her arms were folded, but her mask of calm shattered the second she saw me.“Oh, look,” she deadpanned. “Round two already?”“Don’t start with me,” I growled, kicking the door shut behind me. “You’re going to sit there and give me answers. Every. Single. One.”She scoffed, turning her back to me, heading toward the living room. “I don’t owe you anything.” She knew it was a lie, yeah, I had hurt her but she also knew that she had broken me into different pieces, more than any other person
