Arianna

I stood there for a moment after my stepmother finished speaking, feeling like the room had tilted slightly out of place.

Like everyone else had agreed on a version of my life without bothering to include me in the discussion.

My stepsister was still looking at me like she had already won something.

My stepmother looked satisfied.

And my father—

My father still hadn’t said a word. He was still blind to her tactics. This was how she usually operates, whenever I got something for myself.

  • My stunning bride   CHAPTER 204 ALWAYS YOU

    AidenI had negotiated billion-dollar mergers with less stress than planning a wedding.That realization alone should have concerned me.Instead, I stood in front of the mirror inside my dressing room while Martin adjusted his cufflinks with the seriousness of someone preparing for war.“You look nervous,” he said flatly.“I’m not nervous.”“You’ve checked your watch eleven times in six minutes.”“That’s observation. Not nerves.”Martin looked unimpressed.Behind him, Q lounged carelessly on the couch scrolling through his phone.“Honestly,” he said lazily, “this is beautiful for me personally.”I ignored him.Q continued anyway.“The great Aiden Smith. Feared businessman. Destroyer of criminal organizations. Emotional over a woman in white fabric.”Martin almost smiled.I narrowed my eyes.“You both can leave.”“No,” Q replied immediately. “I suffered through your personality for years. I deserve to witness this.”I adjusted the sleeve of my suit calmly before looking at my reflectio

  • My stunning bride   EPILOGUE ONE THE LIFE THEY FOUGHT FOR

    AriannaOne Week Before GraduationSometimes I still woke up expecting chaos.It happened less now, but every once in a while, my eyes would open in the middle of the night and for a few seconds I would expect screaming phones, encrypted alerts, another emergency meeting, another attack.Instead, I would find warm arms around my waist.Aiden.Sleeping beside me like the world had finally stopped demanding pieces of us.It always took me a moment to adjust to the silence.Not because silence was unfamiliar anymore.Because peace still felt unreal.The morning sunlight slipped through the curtains slowly, warming the room in soft gold. I blinked awake carefully before turning slightly.Aiden was still asleep.Which was rare.Very rare.For someone who practically operated like a machine, sleep always seemed optional to him. Yet over the past few months, he had started resting more. Not fully. Not normally. But enough for me to notice.His arm tightened slightly around me the moment I sh

  • My stunning bride   CHAPTER 202 AFTER THE FALL

    AidenFor the first time in years, the screens in front of me were quiet.No emergency alerts.No red warnings flashing across encrypted systems.No incoming reports about missing shipments, financial breaches, assassinations, or attacks waiting to happen.Just silence.I leaned back slightly in my chair, staring at the collection of reports spread across the monitors in my office.Frozen accounts.Seized assets.Arrests across three countries.Destroyed trafficking routes.Confiscated weapons.Companies under federal investigation.Politicians resigning before evidence could publicly bury them.The organization that had spent years hiding beneath governments and corporations was collapsing piece by piece.Not completely gone.Men like that never disappeared entirely.But broken enough that they would never regain the power they once held.And for the first time in a long time, I allowed myself to think the words clearly.The war was over.The realization should have felt victorious.

  • My stunning bride   Chapter 201 THE PRICE OF AUTHORITY

    AriannaI did not sleep well after reading the file.Not because I was afraid.Because I was angry.Real anger.The kind that sat quietly in your chest and refused to cool no matter how calm you tried to appear.For months, I had bled for this organization without even fully understanding what I had inherited. I had adapted to systems older than me, accepted responsibilities I never asked for, and trusted people whose faces I still barely knew.And now they were questioning me.Not openly.Not honestly.Cowards never attacked directly first.They whispered.They observed.They tested how much pressure they could apply before cracks started forming.I stared at the ceiling above our bed while Aiden slept beside me.The room was still dark.My phone rested against my chest, the encrypted file still open on the screen.Emotionally compromised.Overly influenced by Aiden Smith.Leadership acceleration without complete vetting.I reread the lines slowly.Then again.The wording irritated m

  • My stunning bride   CHAPTER 201

    Arianna For a few seconds after I touched the ring box, neither of us moved.The house was quiet around us, the kind of quiet that only came after weeks of chaos. No calls. No alarms. No updates flashing across screens. Just the soft light from the living room lamps and Aiden watching me like the next few seconds mattered more than anything else in the world.I looked down at the ring again.Then back at him.“You really planned this?” I asked softly.Aiden leaned back slightly against the couch, his eyes still on me.“Yes.”“For how long?”“A while.”“That’s not an answer.”“It’s the only one you’re getting right now.”That made me laugh quietly despite myself.Trust Aiden to propose and still act annoyingly controlled afterward.My fingers brushed lightly over the edge of the ring box.I had imagined a lot of things these past months.Survival.Escape.Revenge.Power.But never this.Never sitting in our living room with the man who once felt like a dangerous stranger, now looking

  • My stunning bride   CHAPTER 200 MARRIAGE PROPOSAL

    AriannaThe house felt different when I walked in that evening.Not because anything had changed physically.But because something had finally stopped chasing us for a moment.Aiden was already inside when I returned from the Merge facility.He let me go by myself today. Which surprises me.He was standing by the window, phone in hand, speaking in low tones.Not rushed.Not tense.Just controlled.I paused near the entrance, watching him for a second before he noticed me.When he did, he ended the call immediately.“Come in,” he said simply.I stepped further inside.“You were expecting me late?”“No,” he replied. “I was expecting updates.”That made me exhale lightly.“Good updates or bad ones?”Aiden looked at me for a moment.Then—“Neutral turning good.”That alone made something in my chest loosen slightly.Not fully.But enough to notice.I removed my shoes slowly, like my body was finally catching up to the fact that I didn’t have to rush anymore.“I’m guessing the world didn’t

    Arianna The rest of the trip continued in silence, and I blamed it entirely on a certain young master’s inability to control his temper.I folded my arms, staring out the window.I was only trying to help.So why was he mad at me?I argued with myself silently, replaying everything that had just h

    “I can take care of myself.”Her voice was quiet, but firm.Why was she so stubborn?“I don’t doubt that,” I replied, keeping my tone even, “but I could do it. I don’t mind. As a husband should.”The words left my mouth before I filtered them.I didn’t take them back.I wasn’t afraid to be open abo

    I had been sitting outside Liam’s place for over two hours, engine off, lights dimmed, watching the quiet street like it held answers it refused to give me.Why was she taking so long?I checked my phone again, jaw tightening. I had already called William more times than I could keep track of. Fift

    AriannaIt had been almost an hour since Aiden left but my father was still fussing.“Dad, please calm down.”“Tell me, dear… are they trying to bully you?”“No, they are not,” I assured him for what felt like the hundredth time that day.Yet he wasn’t convinced.He had sent Aiden and his mother ou
