BRIDE FOR LEASE Chapter 46: The Father's Message
Chapter 46: The Father's MessagePOV: JenniferThe screen stayed black. For several seconds, nobody spoke.Then David said the only thing that mattered.“You're not going.”I looked at him.“I know.”“You're not going alone.”“I know.”He stared at me.“Jennifer.”I took his hand.“I said I know.”His shoulders relaxed slightly.But my mind was still trapped on those two words.Edward Benz.Alive.My father.The man I'd spent my entire life believing was dead.The man whose name had appeared in files, recordings, memories, and lies.The man who had supposedly died eleven years ago.Now he wanted me to come to him.Alone.With Elena.David looked toward my mother.“Tell me this is fake.”My mother didn't answer.“Mom.”She looked at him.“I don't know.”“You know him.”“Yes.”“Then you know whether he'd send a message like this.”She shook her head.“Edward wouldn't threaten Elena.”David's expression hardened.“Then it's not him.”My mother looked at the dead screen.“Unless he

Chapter 45: The New SovereignPOV: Jennifer12%.The number kept rising.I couldn't look away.The master system had accepted my choice.There was no undo button.No escape.No way to pretend the last few minutes hadn't happened.My mother stood beside me.David held my hand.Elena was pressed against my side.And somewhere above us, millions of people were receiving the same message.A NEW SOVEREIGN HAS BEEN CHOSEN.My name beneath it.JENNIFER BENZ.I swallowed.“I didn't ask for this.”David looked at me.“I know.”“I didn't want to rule anyone.”“I know.”“I just wanted my daughter back.”His fingers tightened around mine.“Then remember that.”I looked at him.“What?”“Why did you do this.”He glanced at Elena.“You didn't choose power.”“You chose her.”My eyes burned.“And you.”He smiled.“Me too.”The master system chimed.SUCCESSION: 20%.My mother looked toward the screens.“They know.”“Who?”“Everyone.”The screens began filling with live transmissions.News channels.Enc
BRIDE FOR LEASE Chapter 44: The Blood Awakens
Chapter 44: The Blood AwakensPOV: Jennifer“No.”The word came from somewhere deeper than my throat.It wasn't a scream.It wasn't fear.It was a command.The chamber responded.Every light exploded at once.The First Benz stopped.The soldiers stopped.Even the air seemed to freeze.Elena's hand was still inside mine.Warm.Small.Shaking.But the moment our blood touched, something changed.The unknown symbol beneath our feet burned brighter.The First Benz took a step backward.“No.”For the first time since he appeared, he sounded afraid.David noticed.“What did you do?”“I don't know.”My voice trembled.But the power inside me didn't.It felt like something ancient had opened its eyes.The First Benz raised his hand.“Separate them.”The soldiers moved.David stepped in front of us.“Try.”Three men rushed him.The first swung.David ducked.His elbow struck the man's throat.The second fired.David grabbed the gunman's wrist and twisted.The shot went into the ceiling.The th
BRIDE FOR LEASE Chapter 43: The First Benz
Chapter 43: The First BenzPOV: JenniferThe heartbeat became louder.Boom.The chamber shook.Boom.Dust fell from the ceiling.Boom.Elena buried her face against my chest.David wrapped one arm around both of us.“Stay behind me.”I couldn't move.Something was rising beneath the floor.Something alive.Robert Argent stood near the entrance, watching with a smile.My mother looked terrified.Not afraid.Terrified.“Mom?”She didn't answer.“Mom, what is that?”Her eyes remained fixed on the opening.“The beginning.”Another tremor.The circular platform split apart.Metal peeled backward.Beneath it was a massive chamber filled with darkness.Then lights appeared.One.Two.Ten.Hundreds.A staircase descended into the darkness.At the bottom stood a man.He was tall.Too tall.His hair was completely white.His clothes looked ancient, but perfectly preserved.He stood completely still.Then his eyes opened.Silver.The same silver as mine.Elena whispered:“Grandma?”“No.”My moth
BRIDE FOR LEASE Chapter 42: The Argent Council
Chapter 42: The Argent CouncilPOV: Jennifer“TAKE THE GIRL!”The command cut through the chamber.Men in black armor poured through the destroyed doorway.Gunfire erupted.David pulled me behind the central platform.“Stay down!”I held Elena against my chest.She was shaking.“Mama…”“I’m here.”“Don’t let them take me.”“I won’t.”David fired over the platform.One man dropped.Another moved toward us.Victor intercepted him.The two crashed into the floor.My mother grabbed a weapon from one of the fallen guards.“Jennifer!”I looked up.“Keep Elena behind the platform.”“What are you doing?”“Buying you time.”She stepped into the open.A gunman raised his weapon.She fired first.He fell.Another came from the left.Victor shot him.For a moment, the chamber became chaos.Then a voice rose above the gunfire.“Stop.”Everything froze.The soldiers lowered their weapons.A man walked through the doorway.Older.Silver-haired.Expensively dressed.No armor.No weapon.But every sol
BRIDE FOR LEASE Chapter 41: The Blood Queen
Chapter 41: The Blood QueenPOV: JenniferEvery door in the facility opened.At once.Metal doors.Security doors.Vault doors.Emergency exits.All of them.The sound rolled through the underground complex like thunder.David pulled Elena closer.“What did you activate?”“I didn't activate anything.”My eyes remained on the woman appearing on the screen.Silver hair.Pale eyes.My eyes.She looked exactly like me.Older.Colder.But there was something unmistakable about her.She was family.My grandmother.The woman my mother had never mentioned.The woman who called herself—The Blood Queen.My mother stepped backward.“No.”The woman smiled.“You've been saying that for twenty-eight years, Mara.”My mother looked at me.“Jennifer, don't listen to her.”“Who is she?”My mother didn't answer.I turned toward the screen.“What's your name?”The woman smiled.“Seraphine Benz.”The name hit me like a physical blow.Benz.Another Benz.Another secret.Another dead relative who wasn't de
