  • My stunning bride   Young master is seething in jealousy

    Aiden’s POVThis little, pretty lady was obviously trying to get on my nerves by mentioning that young child from the Pearson family. From her tone, I couldn’t tell if she was joking or if she was being serious, but either way, she had succeeded. Her words lingered in the air longer than they should.I had never been intimidated by anyone. I was powerful, successful, and feared by many in the business world because of my well-known ruthlessness. Boardrooms bowed, competitors retreated, and deals bent in my favor. Years of discipline and control had molded me into someone untouchable. Yet here I was, cornered by an eighteen-year-old girl who had somehow taken over my body and mind. Whew, what a ridiculous situation. If anyone told me this was how I’d lose control, I would’ve laughed them out of the room.It goes without saying that her words made me furious. My veins bulged so much they felt close to bursting, and I could feel my heartbeat accelerating, pounding against my chest like i

  • My stunning bride   marrying for money?

    Arianna’s words stuck in her throat, making her unable to respond to his question, so they sat in silence. It wasn’t a comfortable silence, but one that pressed heavily against her chest, amplifying the tension that already filled the car. He seemed pretty angry at her statement. “Did I say something wrong?” Arianna muttered softly, her voice hesitant, obviously intimidated by his aura and the way his presence dominated the confined space. “You gave me your word,” Aiden responded. His voice was low but edged with sharpness. “Are you trying to back out for someone younger than me? Or did you set your eyes on him first? That’s why you don’t find me attractive, is that it?” Tell me would you? Arianna POV I still hadn’t recovered from the effects of the unexpected kiss from Aiden, and now he was bombarding me with question after question, giving me no chance to respond. My mind felt sluggish, as if I was lagging behind the conversation, unable to keep up with the sudden turn of ev

  • My stunning bride   Stop coveting my body

    I was almost grinning, a ridiculous reaction considering the tension coiling between us inside the car. The low hum of the engine filled the silence, broken only by the sound of my own breathing. The word he had used echoed in my head, loud and mortifying, and my heart thudded as heat crept up my neck, settling there like a brand.“Consummate? What are you talking about?” I blurted, flustered beyond reason. “You seemed decent to me, so why are you coveting my body right now?” Aiden played with her, his tone light, almost lazy, as if he enjoyed watching me unravel and trip over my own thoughts.Arianna was stupefied and embarrassed. What was she thinking when she said that? She cupped her face in shame, fingers pressing against her burning cheeks as she stared at the floor. This was humiliating, she groaned inwardly, wishing the seat would swallow her whole and spare her from his gaze.“No, no, no. I was just making sure that we’re on the same page. It’s not what you’re thinking. Why w

  • My stunning bride   Do we have to consummate???

    The silence following their entrance into the car was almost suffocating. It pressed against their ears, thick and heavy, making the words Aiden had promised—“we have some things to talk about”—feel almost meaningless. The tension between them was palpable, a living thing curling around their shoulders, tightening with every heartbeat.Both of them sank into their own thoughts, avoiding the other’s gaze. Arianna’s fingers fidgeted with the edge of her sleeve, and Aiden’s knuckles whitened from clutching both of hands together. He was having a hard time keeping them to himself. Neither wanted to speak, yet the weight of what remained unsaid hung between them, unavoidable.Finally, Arianna’s voice broke through the quiet, soft and hesitant. “You said you wanted to talk?” she asked, her usual bluntness and fierceness replaced by uncertainty. The shift in her demeanor startled Aiden. She was usually so confident, so sharp, yet now she seemed small, almost fragile.“When are we getting mar

  • My stunning bride   Stare-downs and hushed voices

    Arianna POVI was shocked when the maid informed me of his visit to the house. For a moment, I just stood there, staring at her like she had spoken in a foreign language. Why was he here? Maybe he came to talk about the marriage…He really didn’t have to come here though, not like this. Now Chloe’s mother was looking at her with questions written all over her face, sharp and curious, the kind that demanded answers.“E-em… give me a minute, would you?” I blurted out hastily. I scrambled for the words before Chloe’s mother had the chance to ask anything, before she could dig her claws into the situation. I didn’t even wait for permission before walking away.As I moved through the house, my steps slowed. A strange uneasiness washed over me, fueled by the memory of the way he had looked at me last night—hungrily, intensely, like I was some kind of tempting meat platter placed right in front of him. It made me feel timid in a way I wasn’t used to.I inhaled deeply, forcing myself to stea

  • My stunning bride   Aiden is in a dilemma

    Aiden’s POV All night I turned and turned, unable to sleep, wondering how Arianna was feeling, if she had slept at all. The distance between us felt unbearable. Being away from her for too long drove me restless, my mind replaying her face over and over again until dawn threatened the horizon. This strange feeling grew by the second. I felt suffocated whenever she was not beside me, yet warm and fuzzy whenever she was near. I had never experienced anything like it before, and to be honest, the intensity of it still shocked me. I was a man trained to control every emotion, yet she reduced me to a mess of longing and confusion. All this while, I had suffered in silence with an illness that had no cure. Touch had always repulsed me. The slightest brush of a woman’s skin sent irritation crawling beneath my flesh, breaking out in hives and panic. The only exceptions were my mother, my grandmother, and the women in my family. Everyone else triggered a reaction I could neither explain nor
