His Defiant Bride Second Chance
For a while, it was quiet. An absolute quietness that was both peaceful and disturbing. There were moments like flashes when voices would reach her sometimes calling her name and sometimes talking amongst each other. But she was never able to pull through long enough to truly know what was going on.It was by the time that her awareness grew more alert when she heard them. The two distinct voices she knew so well.“How could you let this happen?! How could you when she was right beside you?!”“When are you going to stop blaming others for your own problems? You lost Thea because you acted like you could control her. Stop trying to blame me and start trying to figure out how to redeem yourself!”These words were followed by the distinct sound of a slap. And even in her sleep, Thea would later realize what truly went on that day.“…”“Are you alright?” Another voice asked.“Yeah… can you go check on him?”The silence that followed after that was deafening. Thea tried shifting her hand a
His Defiant Bride End
“Oh lord…” Thea mumbled as she closed her eyes looking down at the book in her hands barely seeing the words.“Did you say something?” Lucian asked as he leaned forward on the kitchen counter to look at her.“No, nothing,” she said with a smile, and he nodded, going back to preparing whatever it is that he was preparing.Thea stole another glance at him, feeling her heartbeat faster at the sight of him in his unbuttoned shirt and waistcoat hugging his muscles in a perfect fit that made her almost swoon. It had been like this since she got back from the hospital, so much that it had gotten unbearable.At first, Lucian was simply more attentive, especially since she was having trouble dealing with the pain from moving around. He had been adamant about not leaving her alone to the point of intending to sleep on the chair bestie her!In the end, he slept the whole night on the bed beside her on top of the covers when she insisted that he shouldn’t sleep on the chair. He didn’t touch her n
His Defiant Bride Introduction
“Will you marry me?” Lucian asked with an intense look that made her heart skip a beat for a moment. “Wh- *cough*” Thea coughed as she tried to clear her air pipes. She probably shouldn’t have gasped while drinking water but her shock got the better of her. Did Lucian just propose to her?! “Here…” He said handing her a napkin. Avoiding his intoxicating gaze, she wiped her mouth and tried to compose herself. Her heart was still racing as she looked back up at his beautiful, blue gaze again. Why did the damned man have to be so handsome? And very much her type… “What did you just say?” She asked, inwardly congratulating herself for sounding normal this time. “I asked you if you would be willing to marry me?” He said again, his husky voice sending waves of pleasure down her spine. “Uh, I don’t understand. Why would you ask me this? Leave dating alone, we’ve only known each other for about a week or so…” She said, wondering what had gotten into the man all of a sudden. “I wonder
His Defiant Bride From Bad to Worse
A few days earlier“That would be all for today. Don’t forget your homework. And please start preparing early for the midterms,” Thea said as she watched her students hurriedly exit the classroom with a smile.They were always in a hurry at this time of day, heading out to avoid the lunch rush in restaurants only to fall right into it.When Thea had to deal with her first year students, she was always aware of how difficult it was for them to go through the course load in the beginning, which is why she tended to go easy on them. After all, biology is a deceptively complicated subject.But now that the midterms were close she knew that she had to step up her game a little bit, hence her hungry and sugar deprived students at the end of each session.Thea slowly gathered her materials, closed her laptop, and headed up to her office.Just as she was about to walk into her office, she was intercepted by the figure of a woman with fluffy red curls dancing everywhere and a pen stuck into th
His Defiant Bride Unpleasant Encounter
Thea’s eyes couldn’t leave the sight before her as she watched her boyfriend grunt one last time in pleasure while his student, looking at her from behind his shoulder, smirked at her, throwing her head back in exaggerated pleasure as she called out his name.Thea felt like she had been slapped in the face at the very moment and she was pulled back into reality. She was so taken aback with shock that she remained rooted there watching their disgusting scene.All of a sudden, Thea felt bile rise in her stomach and she wanted to throw up. She fought hard against it refusing to give the girl the satisfaction of seeing a reaction from her.In another exaggerated fit of bad acting. The girl decided to give Robert the grace of informing him that Thea was standing behind him.“Oh My God!” She exclaimed and Robert, startled, looked back, his eyes widening like saucers when he saw her.Thea had to admit it. The girl did have a lot of guts to be acting like this toward a professor…“Thea…” Robe
His Defiant Bride Memories and Surprises
“Oh my god! I knew that man was a jerk!” Pen said through the phone and Thea sighed.“Don’t rub it in, Pen…” She told her friend who remained silent for a moment probably realizing how pissed off Thea must be.“What are you planning to do anyway?” Pen asked.“Nothing… As long as he doesn’t make a scene…” Thea answered feeling more tired and dizzy than before.“You sound tired…” Pen said.“I am… I just want to go back home.” Thea lied as she tried to sound as normal as possible.In truth, she felt a lot worse than tired. She felt queasy.“Do you want me to drive you back?”“You still have a lecture and besides you weren’t going back home until late tonight?” Thea said,“I do. But you’re more important than that…”“Thanks, but I will be fine.” Thea said with a smile, “I can drive myself home and we can have a girl’s night tomorrow. You can listen to me rant about my jerk of an ex as we drink tequila shots.”“Sounds like a plan!” Pen said slowly sounding worried, “Call me if you need any
His Defiant Bride Back to Research
“Hey, you don’t have to participate if this isn’t what you want,” Pen said as she walked by Thea’s side. This time she was looking like a presentable person in her formal attire and her red curls gathered stylishly on top of her head.Whoever saw her in her disheveled state in the lab wouldn’t believe that she was the same person as before.“It’s okay. I don’t want the old geezer to have to say anything about this again. He’s already going to give me a hard time with Robert as it is,” she said as she sipped from her tea.“You’re making it sound like it’s your fault… I mean Robert was the one cheating on you,” Pen answered, then she added, "You've been drinking that tea a lot more these days."Thea paused for a moment, looking down at the teacup and then at her friend before feeling a rush of heat spread up to her cheeks.'Nope... She wasn't doing it because of him. She just liked the taste...'“Yeah... I guess." She said, then continued as if nothing happened, "You know how the old ma
His Defiant Bride Budgets and Unexpected Lectures
As soon as Thea left the meeting, she made her way toward her car. She still needed to visit the outreach center since it had been a while since her last visit. The workers there must be worried about the budget cut as it is… “Thea…” She heard someone call her and she turned around to find James standing there. “May I have a moment?” He asked with a serious expression on his face which made Thea wonder what was going on. “Of course,” she said as she followed him to a side sitting room near her grandfather’s office. “Is everything okay?” She asked as she sat down before him. “I wanted to talk to you about something in private,” he said, looking more hesitant than ever. “What is it?” She asked, feeling nervous. “It’s about the outreach program funds…” He said, looking at her with worry, “You know how your grandfather cut the funds for it… There is much more to this than what he told you.” Thea remained silent as she kept listening to James. “You know how the funding for the out
