His Reluctant Bride: Contracted To My Enemy Orders
LioraI blinked, still half processing what he’d just said. A date? With him? “Wait, what?” I managed, but he was already circling around to my side of the car.He opened my door like some kind of gentleman from an old drama and leaned slightly forward. “Come on. Don’t make me look like a creep standing here talking to myself.”I stared at him, still frozen in place. “But I didn't agree to this”He smiled, one of those small, annoyingly confident smiles that always seemed to have a story behind them. “That’s right. But you still got in the car with me.”Yes, which leads to the question; why the hell didn't I walk away but walk right into his car instead? Regardless, that doesn't mean I have this in my intention So I rolled my eyes, mattered “dick” under my breath before stepping out anyway. The restaurant sign glowed softly above the entrance, warm light spilling out through the glass doors. It looked... nice. Way too nice for something casual.Inside, the scent of something rich a
His Reluctant Bride: Contracted To My Enemy A date
LioraWhen I turned to him, he was already watching me quietly.“Now that I’m really thinking about it…” I paused, searching his face. “It’s been you all along. Isn’t it?”He didn’t say anything right away. Though I could see the faint tension in his jaw, the way his hand gripped the wheel just a little tighter. He doesn't look like he'll be saying anything, so I went on“You really didn’t think I’d notice?” A small, tired smile slipped out of me.He exhaled, leaning back in his seat. “You think too much,” he said in an almost teasing voice but I could tell he was trying to deflect.Thus, I let out a soft laugh that wasn’t really a laugh. “Maybe I do. But I’m not wrong, am I?”He turned his head away, eyes on the road, refusing to meet mine. That alone was the answer I needed.I looked at him for a few more seconds before whispering, “Why didn’t you just tell me?”He didn’t answer that either. Just gave a faint, crooked smile that looked more like surrender than denial.So I looked aw
His Reluctant Bride: Contracted To My Enemy All Along
Tristan After leaving Florence’s apartment, I went straight to the office. I figured burying myself in work would help take the edge off the irritation she left me with.But when I got there and saw there wasn’t much to do, I found myself reaching for my phone instead.I sent Liora a quick text, nothing serious, just a small check-in. But to my surprise, she replied faster than I expected. I actually smiled, catching myself mid-thought.So I sent another message, asking where she was considering the facts that she’d mentioned earlier that she was meeting her friends this morning, but I didn’t think she’d tell me her exact location.Still, she did. I just didn't think she'll visit the company soon. Maybe I was just in a good mood, or maybe I just wanted to see her but before I could talk myself out of it, I told Dante to handle things at the office and got in the car.I drove down to the company, parked right outside, and waited.It didn’t take long before she appeared, and the pure

LioraI left the coffee shop about an hour later.Cassie and Jasmine had gone off in their truck. Jasmine didn’t offer me a ride today, which I was oddly grateful for.I caught a taxi straight to the company instead of heading home.There were still one or two things I needed to finish up before I could call it a day.After paying the driver, I clutched my purse, took a deep breath in, then out, before heading toward the gate.It wasn’t locked like the last time. The place looked surprisingly clean, almost unrecognizable which made me wonder just how much work those cleaners had put in.But thinking about it.. it should've been getting dirty again. Right?I stepped inside, taking in the sight of the compound. Even the mold that used to creep along the corners of the walls was gone. Someone had clearly taken care of the place.But… who?The question followed me as I made my way toward the building. The floors were spotless, the glass panes gleaming faintly in the afternoon sun.

Tristan I knocked twice on the door and waited for it to open from the inside.A quick glance at my wristwatch told me it was a few minutes past 9 a.m. earlier than I usually showed up in any other places other than work on work days, but I couldn’t wait any longer.The door opened after only a few seconds, swinging wide enough for me to see her standing there.She didn’t have that usual scowl or that guarded anger on her face which was, honestly, very untypical of her.Still, I couldn’t help the small smile that tugged at my lips. “Good morning, Mrs. Hayes.”Her eyes flicked up to mine, tired at first but when they took in my appearance, she immediately went for the door to close it but I read through her actions, swiftly extending my hand to prevent that action. At least she's not fainting this time around.Her eyebrows were all drawn up as she glared daggers at my hand, which was preventing her from closing the door. Then she lifted her gaze and looked me in the eye, “Let go of th
His Reluctant Bride: Contracted To My Enemy Hold you back
LioraThe next morning.I checked my watch for what felt like the hundredth time, sitting in the corner of the coffee shop where I’d been waiting for… too long now. Any minute, I told myself. Any minute, they’ll walk through that door.But they didn’t.And now I was starting to think maybe they never got my message. Or maybe they did, but chose not to come.And honestly, I couldn’t blame them. Not after how things ended the last time we saw each other. I wasn’t expecting them to just come running because I suddenly decided I wanted to talk.“Are you sure you don’t want to order anything for now?”I looked up to see the waitress standing by my table, notebook in hand and a polite smile that didn’t quite hide her impatience.“Uh… yeah,” I glanced at the door again before turning back to her. “I’m actually expecting someone, so….”“I understand, ma’am,” she cut in gently. “But according to our policy, customers aren’t allowed to wait over an hour without ordering. And you’ve been here f
