Kenneth's body was intertwined with Sabrina's when an unexpected visitor barged into the room without warning. The sight of his grandfather, Gabriel McBride, standing at the doorway left Kenneth in a state of shock, and Sabrina flushed with embarrassment as she quickly tried to cover herself.Frozen in disbelief, Kenneth's mind raced to comprehend the situation. How had his usually reserved and strict grandfather managed to walk in on this intimate moment? He could only imagine the disappointment and disapproval etched on Gabriel's face. Kenneth's heart pounded with anxiety as he frantically searched for words to explain the situation.Sabrina attempted to conceal her nakedness especially when her body was still tangled with his body. Kenneth could tell that she wished for an escape or a place to hide from the piercing gaze of his grandfather.Gabriel McBride, a stoic figure known for his composed demeanor, stood in the doorway, and his expression a blend of surprise and disappointmen
The next day, Sabrina found herself caught in a whirlwind. She felt a mixture of confusion, frustration, and a sense of being powerless as she was led from Kenneth's apartment to the opulent mansion belonging to the McBride family.Inside the mansion, Sabrina was greeted by a flurry of activity. Family members and staff scurried about, preparing for the unexpected turn of events. She felt like a pawn in a game she never wanted to play and was swept away by forces beyond her control.Soon, they were on the move again, this time towards the courthouse. Sabrina's heart pounded in her chest as she realized the purpose of their destination. The weight of the situation bore down on her, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of resentment for being thrust into this predicament against her will. She just spent a night with Kenneth, but the following day, she was getting married into their family. If there was one thing that they allowed her to do, it was to invite her friend to attend and wi
A few months ago...Kenneth McBride sulked in his room because he didn't want to face the woman he was going to marry. Kenneth sat in front of his window looking out at the sea breaking against the rocks and the seagulls that circled catching the winds. Kenneth's room was filled with growing darkness, the shades drawn to keep the light out. His dark hair unkempt, tousled over his eyes. His chin stubble scraped his hand as he ran it over his face.In the other room, he could hear his mother arguing with Gabriel McBride regarding his arranged marriage to Claire Beckham. Kenneth just learned about arranged marriage, and just like usual, it was to further their connection in the business world. His older brother, Daniel, had already accepted his fate to marry a woman he didn't meet yet.Kenneth heard that Claire had just arrived in Azura. The woman studied Business Management in another country, just like him. He just returned to the country to assume the vacant position after his brother
Sabrina's spring-inspired tulle gown covered in Chantilly and guipure lace roses from its neckline through its floor-length skirt floats down the corridor of the courthouse as she walked side by side with her friend.When he glanced at her, she looked like someone has died. Her smile was forced, and he could tell that she was not happy. Well, he wasn't happy either. Everything happened too fast. He was almost engaged with Claire Beckham, but fortunately, Claire Beckham announced that his looks were ordinary and she wanted someone more good-looking. Then, there was Isabelle, Claire's cousin, and Daniel's fiancee."Are you ready?" she asked while faking a smile."I don't know, Sabrina," Kenneth replied.After their wedding, Kenneth assumed they would go home right away but they were required to stay a little bit, to take pictures and signed the documents. When he heard how Sabrina's stomach grumbled, he almost laughed, but he resisted to make himself appear as a happy groom.He felt bad
The door was slightly ajar, and he froze at the doorway when he saw his newlywed wife. Sabrina was naked, and his eyes feasted on her nakedness. He clenched his teeth as soon as he realized what he was doing.Sabrina’s eyes were closed when he entered. She was naked. Totally naked and sprawled in the center of the bed. He just go in and was staring at the beauty in front of him, but an elderly woman suddenly entered. She vowed her head before him.“Leave,” he ordered."Actually, your grandfather asked me to explain to your wife about the things that will happen in bed later,” the woman replied.Kenneth’s temper rose up upon hearing it. His grandfather knew that he and Sabrina already did it in the apartment but the old man dared to embarrass his wife further. He clenched his jaw and shouted at the middle-aged lady.“I said leave!” he shouted at the woman once more, causing Sabrina to wake up. She was flustered at his presence. When she was about to get up, he stopped her from doing so
After the wedding night, Sabrina assumed that everything would be alright especially when Kenneth was so gentle in their lovemaking. Little did Sabrina know that she would be maltreated by Kenneth and his family.Shortly after their wedding, Kenneth's behavior changed dramatically. He began to treat her like a mere servant. He would assign her countless chores, belittle her efforts, and subject her to harsh criticism. He wouldn’t even help her whenever Lorraine ostracize her or overworked her. Sabrina was no different from any other servant in the mansion. She was literally trapped in the nightmare of marrying Kenneth McBride.Actually, she wondered what caused the changes. He has no other woman because it was not allowed. Gabriel McBride was so strict when it comes to that. Since the wedding, Kenneth even hired a new secretary, and she was not allowed to frequently go out to meet her friend. She could talk to Heather on the phone but she could only do it when she was free.From dawn
While she was cleaning the entire house, her mind was preoccupied with finding a way to get back at Kenneth. She couldn’t forgive him for being mean to her! He really thought that he could keep on mistreating her.The only room she hadn't cleaned yet was the man's bedroom, so she felt a bit nervous as she knocked on its door. She knocked several times, but the man still didn't open it. So Sabrina impulsively kicked the door and didn't stop until she heard the sound of the latch turning from the inside. As expected, Kenneth's face scowled as he opened the door for Sabrina."Did I disturb you?" she asked him, sounding a bit foolish.Kenneth let out a sigh of exasperation at her and asked, “Why don’t you ask yourself, Sabrina? After kicking the door, you had to ask me that?” Then, he shook his head in disbelief or annoyance.Sabrina just grinned despite hearing an earful from her husband. Kenneth looked so pissed that he looked like he was about to throttle her or spank her. Still, she d
Kenneth held his stomach as he repeatedly went back and forth to the bathroom. He didn't know what he ate, but his stomach suddenly started hurting after dinner. He wanted to call Sabrina to bring him some medicine, but he was afraid that she would just laugh at him, so he decided to stay quiet and endure the pain alone. Besides, her stomach might also hurt because they ate the same thing.He was tired of going back to the bathroom, but he had to do it to avoid making a mess in his room. Every time he dozed off due to extreme drowsiness, he would suddenly feel the urge to relieve himself. Around two in the morning, Kenneth thought of going out of his room to cook noodles or anything that could soothe his stomach. Besides, he had already emptied everything he ate for dinner, so he was hungry again."What are you doing here?" he raised his voice when he found the woman in the kitchen."My stomach hurts, I can't sleep, so I cooked a chicken soup. Are you okay?" Sabrina asked him because
