Eric was restless, pacing in his library, feeling a whirl of emotions that he couldn’t quite sort out.

Ever since discovering Mary’s true personality, he’d been battling mixed feelings. She wasn’t just the stubborn, rebellious figure he’d written off as money-hungry. Somehow, understanding the depth beneath her rebelliousness had changed things.

Before, her every move had seemed calculated, aimed at showing off. Now, though, he couldn’t ignore the way his heart softened each time she spoke, her words striking chords he hadn’t felt in years.

And the moment she proposed, they became business partners? It had left him in an unexpectedly pleasant mood, a rare thing these days. Then, hearing that she had taken it upon herself to prepare their food? His heart nearly leaped out of his chest.

It was baffled. He’d even raised his voice at Diana—the woman he thought was the love of his life.

He’d never done that before, no matter the circumstances. But now, this… Mary was shaking his entire

  • Mary Johnson ~ The Paid Bride   Chapter 124 ~ The Storm after the Calm

    ~~~~~~God. I totally forgot about that.Why does it always feel like once I solve one problem, another one pops up like an uninvited guest? And here I was, foolishly thinking I’d finally get a moment to breathe.I sighed, gripping the steering wheel a little tighter, and turned my head—only to catch them both staring at me like I’d grown horns.“Alright,” I muttered with a dry chuckle, “I guess I owe you both an explanation.”Neither of them blinked. Not even a twitch. That kind of stare could burn through walls.I glanced at my watch. “But it's already late. If you get home any later than this, Mom and Dad will throw a fit, right?”Lisa let out a long, dramatic sigh. “You’re not wrong.”I leaned back against the seat and gave her a small smile. “Let’s do it this way—Lisa, call Mom. Tell her you and Lara will be spending the night at my p

    ~~~~Ruth found herself laughing at Rolex’s sudden change in behavior.“Wow… is that really the same Rolex?” she asked, still chuckling as she watched him walk away.“I know, right?” Diana replied with a faint smirk. “I guess this just proves how powerful she’s become. How annoying,” she added with a sigh, and then turned to Ruth. “Take this to the new recruits over there. Have them sign the documents and ask a few questions while you're at it.”“Okay,” Ruth nodded.“Mrs. Black brought them in, so I want you to take proper care of both of them,” Diana instructed, rising to her feet.“Yes, ma’am,” Ruth responded dutifully, before heading over to where Lara and Lisa were quietly seated. Meanwhile, Diana made her way to the modeling session.**I never knew being a model could be this exhausting.Just one outfit alon

    ~~~~~Seriously!I stared at her, baffled. “Are you stupid? When exactly did I say yes, Diana? If I remember correctly, I said nothing.”“Exactly my point! You kept quiet when I asked, so it’s obvious, right?”“No, it’s not. And even if it was, I don’t see how my private life concerns you,” I shut her down, voice sharp.“You’re right—it’s not my concern,” she said, her tone softening a little. “It just felt weird, I guess. I mean, I could never get pregnant for Eric, so the thought of you possibly carrying his child just… shocked me.”I blinked, trying not to roll my eyes. “Yeah, right. You never got pregnant because you didn’t want to, not because you couldn’t. You and I? We’re two very different women with very different mindsets.”I crossed my legs and leaned back i

    ~~~~As we stepped into the elevator, I glanced sideways and caught Lisa and Lara whispering to each other. I sighed.Of course, they were whispering. I had just casually dropped a bomb on them—the truth about my marital status. One look at their faces, and it was clear they hadn’t seen that coming.Sorry, Lisa. Sorry, Lara. From here on out, you're about to hear and see more truths about your sister. The kind that’ll shake you. I just hope you’re ready for it.Another sigh slipped out of me.“You’ve been sighing non-stop,” Diana said, punching in her office floor. The elevator responded with a soft ding and began to climb. Ruth stood behind us with Lisa and Lara, still silent.“You’re not still bothered about what happened downstairs, are you?” Diana asked.“Not really,” I replied flatly, refusing to meet her eyes.“Then, what’s with t

  • Mary Johnson ~ The Paid Bride   Chapter 120 ~ Continuations

    Continuations~~~~~“Will that even be possible?” Lisa asked, her voice filled with doubt.I turned to both of them, slightly confused. “What do you mean?”“Well,” Lisa began, “back in Chicago, our teachers said Diana Lockwood is one of the most difficult designers to meet. She doesn’t take meetings and barely speaks on the phone. The one time we heard her voice, our instructor had to beg for a one-minute conversation. She hung up in less than two minutes.”“Ah, I see.” So Diana really has that much influence?“When you said you knew someone, I thought maybe it was a staff member or manager. But if you meant the Lockwood herself... I don’t think she’d have time for people like us,” Lara added, discouraged.I couldn’t help but laugh—a soft, amused chuckle that made both of them blink. Wow… what do thes

    ~~~~Looking back, I’m glad Eric and I stole those quiet, passionate moments together that day—because what followed was nothing short of chaotic.The days blurred into each other, with Eric bouncing between the farm and the office, barely catching his breath, while I tried to keep my health from fading completely.Even meeting up with Diana had to be rescheduled, and for once, she didn’t argue.Now, it was a Monday—two months later—and the girls seemed unusually free, their eyes filled with both excitement and suspicion.“So…” Lisa began, arms crossed and brows raised. “Are you finally going to tell us where we’re going?”“Yeah! And should I be worried?” Lara added, fidgeting in her seat.I looked over my shoulder at them, those curious young eyes fixed on me like I held all the secrets of the universe.With a soft sigh, I turned forward. “Relax. You’ll know everything soon enough. There’s really no reason to panic.”I tapped the glass partition. “Driver, find us the nearest café.”“
