• The Forgotten Bride   CHAPTER SEVENTY NINE: BREAKFAST

  The meal looked burnt and not properly cooked but I knew I could not say much about it. I took one bite and confirmed my suspicions, the eggs were rubbery and the toast was burnt at its edges but still, I chewed and swallowed. I did all of it with a smile cause I knew that is exactly what they expected me to do: sit down, smile and pretend like I didnt know the truth. Pretend like I didn’t want to break open their heads and feed them to the wolves. But I played the role that they wanted me to play and I sat still and pretended like they had not ripped my life apart. "See?” Ivy said cheerfully, looking at my mother. “He’s feeling better already.”“Of course he is,” my mother replied, folding the newspaper. “He just needed time to come to his senses.”“Men are like that,” Ivy continued, like I wasn’t sitting right there. “They throw tantrums when they don’t get their way, but they always come back.”“Especially when they know what’s good for them,” my mother added, sipping her tea.I

• The Forgotten Bride   CHAPTER SEVENTY EIGHT: SMILE LIKE YOU MEAN IT.

  Liam’s POVThey had invited me for breakfast and I could not say no. I could not allow them to get the idea that I was going behind their back to do anything that could piss them off. I needed them to believe that I was on their side, and so I dressed up like I was going to work and moved to the dinning room. The dinning room smelled so much like vanilla and eggs. I looked around and saw a spread on the table. Apparently, Ivy had taken her time to set the table like we were this happy couple from a magazine. From the way she paid attention to details that I could swear she believed I loved, I knew that she was very determined to prove to me that she could be that lovely wife. What I didnt understand was why she was trying. She had already blackmailed me and gotten me to believe that I had no idea what I was doing and she knew better, so why was she now looking forward to this. Why did she put so much effort into it? I didnt have time to respond because almost immediately, my eyes d

  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
