last update Petsa ng paglalathala: 2026-05-01 22:13:28

The classroom was unusually quiet, broken only by the soft scratching of pens against paper and the occasional rustle of pages being turned.

Arianna sat upright at her desk, her eyes fixed on the test sheet in front of her.

Her expression was calm—but her mind was anything but.

Every question felt heavier than the last, as though each answer carried the weight of her entire future.

She exhaled quietly and continued writing.

Focus.

She had to focus.

This exam wasn’t just another school test. It

  • My stunning bride   Chapter 100 Contract marriage girl

    Arianna's Pov Arianna tried not to look at her phone again, but it was useless. Even when she kept it face-down on the desk, she could still feel the weight of it, like the news itself had somehow seeped into the air around her. By the time afternoon classes resumed, the atmosphere in school had completely shifted. It wasn’t loud chaos, not yet—but it was worse in a quieter way. The kind of tension that sat behind eyes and lingered in half-finished conversations. She could feel it as she walked through the corridor, as students who once barely noticed her now watched her every movement with renewed interest. Some whispered openly. Others didn’t bother hiding their stares anymore. “That’s her.” "She's the girl in the news." “The contract marriage girl.” “So she really did it for money?” "She's just eighteen." "She's so shameless." Arianna kept walking. She didn’t stop. Didn’t react. Didn’t give them anything to feed on. Chloe caught up with her near the stairca

  • My stunning bride   Chapter 99 Damage control

    Aiden’s POV The news didn’t reach me in fragments. It hit all at once. My secretary Mr Marcus didn’t even knock properly before entering the office, which was already enough to tell me something had gone wrong. I looked up slowly from my desk, expression calm, but the moment I saw his face, I knew this wasn’t a minor issue. “Speak,” I said. He hesitated. “Young master… the story is out.” I didn’t move. Not immediately. Because “the story” could mean many things in my world. But the way he said it—careful, tense, slightly reluctant—already narrowed it down. I leaned back in my chair slowly. “Which story?” He swallowed. “The contract marriage.” Silence. The room didn’t change, but the atmosphere did. My gaze dropped to the tablet he was holding. I didn’t need to take it from him to know what was on it. The headlines were already predictable. He still placed it on my desk anyway. I looked. “HEIRESS IN CONTRACT MARRIAGE SCANDAL WITH BUSINESS HEIR.” Another article beneath

  • My stunning bride   Chapter 96 The Story They Chose for me

    I knew something was wrong the moment I stepped into school and felt the shift in the air.Whispers.Eyes. Glaring at me.Phones lifted slightly too quickly when I passed.At first, I told myself it was nothing. School always had its own strange rhythm—rumors, gossip, temporary fascinations that never lasted more than a day.But today felt different.Heavier.Like something had already been decided without me.Chloe caught up to me near the corridor, her face tense. “Arianna… have you seen the news?”My steps slowed. “What news?”She hesitated, then turned her phone toward me.My stomach dropped before I even read it.“HEIRESS TIED TO BUSINESS EMPIRE THROUGH CONTRACT MARRIAGE SCANDAL”My name wasn’t written clearly, but it didn’t need to be.The story was already shaped.Already sold.My fingers tightened around my bag strap. “This is fake, it can be true.”Chloe shook her head. “It’s everywhere. Social media, blogs… even local news outlets are picking it up.”I scrolled down quickly.

  • My stunning bride   Chapter 97 Answers you can't unhear

    Arianna's Pov The room felt smaller than it had a moment ago.Maybe it was just me.Aiden still stood near the door, not moving closer, not pressuring me, but his presence alone made it difficult to think clearly. I had asked for answers, yet now that I was finally about to get them, my courage felt like it was slowly dissolving.I swallowed lightly. “That night… when I first met you.”His eyes narrowed slightly, as if already understanding where I was going.I forced myself to continue anyway. “You got injured. You helped me. And then everything after that… it doesn’t make sense in my head anymore.”Silence stretched between us.I hated how loud it felt.“You said you’d answer honestly,” I reminded him softly.Aiden exhaled through his nose, stepping further into the room for the first time since entering. Not close enough to overwhelm me, but close enough that I had no choice but to fully face him now.“I will,” he said.My fingers tightened slightly. “Then tell me… do you remember

  • My stunning bride   Chapter 96 A Heart That Doesn't Listen

    Arianna’s POVI didn’t move.Even when I knew I should have.Standing that close to him made everything feel… different. The air felt warmer, heavier, like something invisible had settled between us and refused to move. I could hear my own heartbeat, steady at first, then gradually losing its rhythm the longer I remained there.Why wasn’t I stepping back?Why wasn’t he?I swallowed lightly, forcing myself to look away before my thoughts could spiral any further. “I think I should go back upstairs,” I murmured, though my feet stayed rooted to the spot.Aiden didn’t respond immediately. I could feel his gaze on me, steady and unreadable, like he was trying to figure something out.“Then go,” he said at last.But his voice was lower than usual.Softer.And for some reason, that made it harder to leave.I nodded anyway, taking a small step back, creating distance between us. The moment I did, the strange tension eased slightly, and I found myself breathing more freely.What was that?I d

  • My stunning bride   Chapter 95 Too close to ignore

    Aiden’s POVThe drive back to the house was unusually quiet, but it wasn’t uncomfortable. It was the kind of silence filled with thoughts neither of us was ready to voice. Arianna sat beside me, her hands folded neatly on her lap as she stared out the window, watching the city lights blur past. She hadn’t spoken since we left Chloe’s place, and I hadn’t pushed her to.Still, I was aware of her.More aware than I should have been.Every small shift, every breath, every subtle movement didn’t escape my notice. She looked composed, but I could see through it. She was trying to hold herself together, trying to act like everything was fine when it clearly wasn’t.“Are you still afraid?” I asked suddenly.She turned slightly, caught off guard by my voice. “Afraid of what?”“This,” I said calmly. “Everything that’s happening.”She hesitated before looking away again. “I don’t know,” she admitted softly. “It feels like I stepped into something I don’t understand.”Her honesty lingered longer

  • My stunning bride   Take back your statement!!!?

    Arianna looked at the expressions on their faces, disgusted by their actual expectations. The shock, the insult, the quiet outrage — it all blended into a single offensive smear she refused to ignore. Did they truly think she would simply be married off to any man bold enough to ask? That she was s

  • My stunning bride   Sudden declaration by Arianna

    Arianna paid no attention to their glares and judgment.About his gift, she felt certain it could never outshine the dress she wore, a radiant creation that clung to her curves and shimmered like molten gold under the chandeliers’ glow. The party itself, although extravagantly tailored to impress,

  • My stunning bride   Young master Aiden makes an appearance

    Aiden’s mood had dropped drastically, the shift so sharp it was almost visible. A moment ago, he had been quietly admiring the breathtaking beauty who commanded the room effortlessly—Arianna, glowing beneath the chandelier lights, unintentionally stealing the attention of every person present. Now,

  • My stunning bride   A night she stepped into the light

    Stepping into the hall where the party was taking place, Arianna felt her breath hitch. Chloe’s mother held her arm firmly, guiding her forward with a warm, practiced smile, waving gently at familiar faces. Her grip was not forceful—just steady enough to anchor Arianna as they moved deeper into the
