Addicted To The Arranged Bride Chapter 79: The Moment We Get Home
***~~ZARA~~***We climbed into the car and Dante started the engine. We pulled out of the school premises with an easy, unhurried energy that comes from a day going exactly the way it was supposed to.After everything the past few weeks had thrown at all three of us, that alone felt like something worth appreciating.We hadn't even been on the road for five full minutes when Ethan cleared his throat with a casual energy that immediately told me something deliberate was coming."Dante," he started, his voice carefully measured. “How exactly does a man go about expressing his feelings to a woman without making it weird?"I pressed my lips together instantly, because the question was about Julia, it was obviously about Julia. The guy had been staring at her for two weeks straight without saying a single word directly to her face and we all knew it.Dante didn't even pause before launching into it, and what followed was the most unexpectedly thorough romantic advice session I had ever p
Addicted To The Arranged Bride Chapter 78: Come Zip Me Up
***~~ZARA~~***The moment I stepped out of the car, my eyes found Dante before anything else, and the first thing I noticed was his haircut, the kind that completely rearranges a person’s face in the best possible way.My husband was already dangerously good-looking on any given day, but a fresh cut on Dante Wright was something else.My gaze drifted over to the bags Sandra was carrying in from their own shopping, which confirmed what I’d already suspected—they had taken their time too, which meant the two of us had zero room to feel guilty about how long Julia and I had been out, since clearly nobody in this situation was innocent.I also caught the way Ethan looked standing beside Dante, cleaned up and clearly pleased with himself.I have to say, the two of them together looked like they’d stepped off the pages of some luxury men’s editorial and decided to attend a graduation instead.Dante’s eyes did that sweep, slow and deliberate, from top to bottom and back up again, the way h
Addicted To The Arranged Bride Chapter 77: Shopping Marathon
***~~DANTE~~***It was Zara’s graduation, but despite knowing how important this day was, we slept and woke up far too late.We were both wrecked from how much the past week had drained us—one disaster after another stacking up until our bodies simply gave out and demanded rest whether we’d planned for it or not.Zara had already slipped into full panic mode before I’d managed to open both eyes properly, because she and Julia still hadn’t gone shopping for the day.I happen to know, from close observation, that whenever those two get together for a shopping trip, time itself simply stops mattering to either of them.She went straight into the restroom and showered without waiting for me, which told me everything I needed to know about how serious this panic had become, because Zara never skips our morning shower together unless something in her world feels urgent.The second she stepped back out, towel still damp against her shoulders, she started moving around our room at a pace th
Addicted To The Arranged Bride Chapter 76: Version Of Peace
***~~DANTE~~***What in the world had just happened back at my father’s house? I sat with that question the entire drive home, struggling to land on a single explanation that made any real sense of what I’d just witnessed.Something about those sudden apologies didn’t sit right with me, not even a little.Adrian and Dahlia dropped to their knees like they were auditioning for some daytime drama. They all wanted something out of that performance, that much I was sure of.The whole scene had felt rehearsed.And here’s the part that kept circling back in my head, refusing to leave me alone: my mother never once apologised to me. Not a single word in my direction.Every soft look, every careful sentence, all of it had been aimed straight at Zara.Something was definitely wrong here, I thought, watching the road blur past in long stretches of afternoon light, the kind of golden-hour glow that usually made everything feel calmer than it actually was.“Zara, don’t you think what happened b
Addicted To The Arranged Bride Chapter 75: Dramatic Wright Family Afternoon
***~~ZARA~~***Morning came soft and golden through the curtains.When I finally blinked my eyes open, the first thing I noticed was the small table Dante had already set up right beside the bed, with food, juice, and my medicine all arranged so neatly that it looked like something out of a magazine spread.I lifted my head slowly and just stared at it for a second.My eyes widened on their own.“Oh, honey, you really didn’t have to do all this,” I murmured, pushing myself up against the pillows.“Of course I do,” he replied, leaning down to press a soft kiss against the top of my head before settling beside me.While I ate, I kept trying to feed him a piece of fruit, holding it out toward his mouth, but he kept pulling back, refusing to take it from my hand.“Take it, baby,” I urged again, holding it closer, but he still wouldn’t budge.“Oh, you’re playing hard to get now?” I teased, and he laughed softly at that.Then, without warning, he leaned in and kissed me instead.“No, no,”

***~~ZARA~~***“Okay, who is it?” my mom asked, her voice tight, leaning forward like the answer might somehow soften if she got close enough to it.Ethan’s expression shifted as he lifted his eyes from the laptop, and in that exact second my heart kicked into a faster, uneven rhythm, already bracing itself for whatever name was about to leave his mouth.“It’s Mr Edwards,” he revealed.“But he swore on his own life that he was innocent,” my mom said in confusion as all of us turned to look at her at once. “He insisted, over and over, that he had absolutely nothing to do with that missing money.”“Swore?” I repeated, latching onto that one word like it had teeth.“I remember him clearly,” she continued while she rubbed her hands together slowly like the memory itself was cold. “He used to be the accountant at your father’s company, back before everything fell apart. After the bankruptcy, we never heard a single word from him again. It was like the man dissolved into thin air the mome

***~~ZARA~~***I grabbed my phone and headed downstairs toward the pool area.I needed to get away from him and clear my head.When I got to the pool area, the evening air blew on my face, and I could see the water reflecting the orange sky.I pulled off Dante's t-shirt and I was left with just m

***~~ZARA~~***"Don't stop," I whispered breathlessly.His eyes went dark and hungry immediately. A small smile tugged at the corner of his lips before he kissed me again, more urgently and demanding than before.His hands moved through my hair and around my waist, then up my back in one smooth m

***~~DANTE~~***I drove away from Zara's house, heading back to my office. The road was clear, and I kept a steady speed, shifting gears smoothly as I navigated through the light traffic.I turned on the radio, and a song started playing. I found myself humming along at first, then singing the ly

***~~ZARA~~***At exactly 9 p.m., we stepped into the club. Adrian took my hand and led me through the red velvet curtains, with Dahlia just behind us.The room was packed, with pink and red lights flashing, and the bass shaking the floor.“This is crazy,” I shouted over the music.“Just follow m
