His Defiant Bride Impartial and Credible
Thea sighed as she pulled up at the university’s parking lot and made her way out of the car. She knew that meeting her uncle wasn’t going to be easy, but she didn’t know that it was going to be this hard. She tried making an appointment under different guises, but she was always politely redirected by his personal assistant. Now she was wondering why she was making the effort to be courteous at all. She should just barge in and say what she had to tell him and then leave. If it wasn’t for the risk of having him put his guard up against them and cover his mistakes. She needed to find another way to talk to him. As she was deep in her thoughts, she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket and pulled it out. “I’m on my way in, Pen,” She said into the phone, “I will be there in five minutes,” “Well, hurry up. It feels like your Mr. CEO is going to come get you with his personal helicopter if you’re any more late than this,” She told her and Thea sighed. “I keep telling you that he’s not
His Defiant Bride Hopes and Dreams
“Pen…” Thea started trying to calm the storm but it was already too late. Pen was already slamming her hand against the table and glaring at Lucian like a true angry bird character as her red locks flew around her shoulders in a magnificent sigh while her jewel-like eyes shone like two beams of laser. Haden who sat before her looked at her as if in a daze and Thea immediately knew that the man wasn’t going to be any help in this situation. Nor was Lucian who was looking at Pen with the same provocative smile as if he hadn’t just dropped a small bomb into her lap. “This man is insinuating that you don’t deserve your position, Thea!” Pen said, “I of all people will never be able to sit around and listen to him say something like this about you while knowing everything you went through to get here,” “Pen! Calm down. What he’s trying to say isn’t like this. He just said it without considering his words,” She said, “Oh, I mean every word I said…” Lucian said and Thea turned around and
His Defiant Bride More Work
Thea stepped out of her car as soon as she parked breathing in the cool fresh air of mid-morning. It felt like it has been a while since she went out like this and she felt the tightness in her chest dissipate as she looked around the small building in front of her. “You’re here…” She heard a male voice behind her and turned around to find a young man in his mid-thirties with short light brown curly hair and kind eyes. “Peter, hi…” She said with an awkward smile and Peter gave her a pointed look before giving her a sigh. “Let’s talk inside…” He said leading the way into the building and she silently followed him. “Thea!” She heard someone call her name as soon as she came into the building and looked at the reception desk. The young girl there came running toward her giving her a hug that pushed her back a few steps. “Hi, Nelly! Glad to see you’re doing well!” Thea answered hugging the girl back. “I am! I love attending classes at the community college and Peter said that I have
His Defiant Bride Lunch plans
Thea shivered a little as she stood in front of the high-end restaurant waiting for an opportunity to go inside. According to her intel after spending so much time with her uncle’s old security officer, she knew that her uncle always had lunch in the restaurant every evening. It was a hard place to get into without being considered a regular or having a reservation, so after failing to get inside a few times, with the last time being grabbed by the arm and pulled out by one of the security guards, she stood there brooding and waiting for an opportunity to slip inside as the cool air began nibbling into her skin and seeping through her clothes. Seriously, she should have thought this through. Or maybe she should have attended those events her grandfather asked her to go to in his stead. That way she would have at least had access to someone who would give her an early reservation in the restaurant. “So this is why you refused to have lunch with me?” Thea turned around to find Lucian
His Defiant Bride Owed Favors
Thea remained shocked as she watched Lucian's rage upon seeing the bruises on her arm. Looking down she wondered what could make him have this kind of reaction. Were there really bruises there? And they were there… light bruises forming lightly on her skin forming the shape of a distinct handprint. There was a distinct gasp from the hostess as she looked at them then she averted her gaze as she eyes the security guard who stood there eying them with careful eyes. Yupp… Those handprints were in definitely his. From when he grabbed her to forcefully remove her from the restaurant grounds. If she didn’t do something, this situation was clearly going to escalate and even become a scene if the way Lucian was looking at her arm was anything to go by. She couldn’t fathom where this completely exaggerated reaction came from but she knew that the priority is to calm him down. Because it’s not to anyone’s advantage, especially hers if she was going to get a chance to crash her uncle’s lunch
His Defiant Bride Failed Negociation
Thea slowly walked down the corridor as if the VIP reserved ward was her property. She looked around for a bit then as soon as she saw the door number before her, she paused taking a deep breath. A tremor passed through her as she readied herself to meet the person beyond that door. Her uncle. The man who was greedy enough to steal money from his sister’s charity program.She slightly knocked and opened the door not bothering to wait for an answer. As she stepped inside, she found two men sitting there on the table cutting down some fancy meat as they spoke.It seems like she interrupted them.Even Better….“Oh my! I thought that you would be alone… It seems like I interrupted…” She said in the same formal way she addressed her grandfather in public.It was a convenient way of speaking when she thought about it. It bellied familiarity and closeness, but it didn’t lack the politeness expected by their society.“And who might you be?” The man at the right said whom she knew was her un
His Defiant Bride Dinner Date
“I can’t believe he told you that! What a jerk,” Pen said as she huffed and Peter gave her a tolerant smile.“It’s to be expected. It’s not like he didn’t know what was the money he took for,” He told her and Thea nodded.“The man has no regrets about what he did whatsoever. And what makes me even more frustrated is the fact that he is going to get away with everything he did. Those students would have to withdraw their applications soon,” She said with a deep sigh and Pen put her hand on top of hers.“We will find a solution…” She reassured her.“I know that we will be able to find a solution. But I’m afraid that it’s going to be too late by then,” She said and Pen sighed.“This is depressing…” She complained and Peter scoffed.“Tell me about it,” He said.“How’s the legal procedures going?” Thea asked him,“With what we have right now, there’s only a slim chance that we will win the case, but it’s going to take months to get some results. I don’t think we should rely on this road to
His Defiant Bride Three Questions
“So, let me ask my first question,” Lucian said leaning forward on his seat as soon as the waiter left their table.“Alright,” She said, “What is it that you want to know so much from me?”“Is there someone in your life right now, or someone you have your eyes on romantically speaking?” He asked and Thea wanted to be surprised at that question but she honestly wasn’t.Lucian had been digging into that part of her life persistently since they met and Thea was wondering when he was going to get tired of it.“I don’t have anyone like that and I don’t intend of making one either…” She answered sipping from her champagne feeling a bit disappointed.What had she expected from him?What kind of question was she waiting for…“Hmmm,” He hummed seeming quite satisfied with her answer as he passed the tip of his finger over his wine glass like. Somehow, the scene was so erotic and sexy under the golden light lighting the restaurant that Thea had to take a deep breath.The man could simply breath
