The calm before Arianna's storm

last update Date de publication: 2025-12-09 20:48:24

Aiden was dumbstruck, frozen in a rare moment of disbelief as the weight of the truth settled heavily on his shoulders. He blamed himself entirely—blamed his arrogance, his calm confidence, his underestimation of the Shadows. For years, they had preferred silence. They lurked in darkness, observing quietly, patiently… always waiting for the right moment to swoop in like hawks surveying their prey. Their stillness had made him assume they had lost interest, or at least lost strength. But he shou

  • My stunning bride   Chapter 170 You're in my world

    Arianna The night had settled properly now. Not the kind that softened things or made them feel safe. This one felt like it was holding its breath. I stayed on the porch longer than I should have, knees slightly drawn in, eyes fixed on the stretch of ocean ahead. The waves rolled in quietly, steady, like they didn’t care what was happening on land. Nothing here did. Or maybe it just didn’t show it.Everything about this place screamed money and class, but I couldn't even enjoy it's properly.Ever since the intrusion, we spent most of our days indoor, wrapped in each other's arm.Just the way I liked it. Aiden's hadn't initiated sex, the tension was too much. Even for him.I couldn't wait to go home. Aiden sat beside me without saying anything at first. He was studying me. Carefully. Not too close. Not distant either. Just there. Present in a way that didn’t demand attention but somehow took it anyway. I could feel him more than I could see him. That was becoming a pat

  • My stunning bride   Chapter 169 I'm not Ready

    Arianna The island was quiet as usual. Just like we were the only ones on it. Not the kind of quiet that soothed. The kind that made you think. Too much. I sat on the porch, facing the sea, my knees drawn slightly toward me, my phone resting loosely in my hand. The waves moved in a steady rhythm, rising and falling like nothing in the world had changed. I wished it felt that simple. But it didn’t. Nothing felt simple anymore. Not after everything. The wind brushed past me, lifting strands of my hair again. I didn’t bother fixing it this time. I just let it move, let it do whatever it wanted. I was too tired to care. My phone lit up. Again. I didn’t have to look to know who it was. Still, my eyes dropped to the screen. Dad. The name sat there like a weight. Heavy. Uncomfortable. Familiar. The call rang once. Twice. Three times. I didn’t move. Didn’t answer. Didn’t reject it either. I just watched it. Until it stopped. The screen went dark again. I exhaled

  • My stunning bride   Chapter 168 No Room For Hiding

    AidenThe island was quiet again.But this time, it wasn’t deceiving.It was controlled.Every entry point sealed. Every movement tracked. Every signal monitored twice over.Exactly how it should have been from the start.I stood in front of the main console, eyes scanning through layers of data that kept updating in real time. Movement logs. Thermal readings. Signal integrity.Everything looked stable.But I knew better than to trust “stable.”Not after what had already happened.“Sir.”I didn’t turn.“Report.”“Secure line ready. Martin is on.”Good.Right on time.Martin had was my best friend, he hadn't been around. He was heading my tech company for over a year now while I stay focused on my family's franchise. We needed all hands on deck, so now he's back, handling things with Q.I stepped closer, activating the connection without hesitation.The screen flickered once before stabilizing.Martin appeared.Calm.Focused.Exactly how I expected him to be.“Aiden.”“Status.” I wasn'

  • My stunning bride   Chapter 167 Blurred Lines

    AidenThe room was quiet again. But not the same quiet.This one carried weight.After everything that had just happened, the silence didn’t feel calm—it felt like something waiting to break.Arianna was still close.Closer than she had been all day.Her head rested lightly against me, her breathing finally steady, like she had found something solid to hold on to.I didn’t move.Didn’t loosen my hold.Didn’t say anything. I just wrapped my hand in hers.Because for a moment, I didn’t want to think about what was outside these walls.About the message.About the breach.About how close they had gotten.I just stayed there.Letting the stillness settle.Then my phone vibrated.Once.Sharp.Precise.The kind of vibration I didn’t ignore.I didn’t reach for it immediately.But it came again.And I already knew who it was.I shifted slightly, just enough to pull the device from my pocket without completely letting go of her.Arianna noticed.She pulled back just enough to look up at me.“

  • My stunning bride   Chapter 166 Understanding

    Aiden The walk back felt longer than it should have. No one spoke. Not me. Not the men behind us. Not even Arianna. But I could feel her. Close. Too close to let go. My grip on her wrist had loosened, but I hadn’t released her completely. Not yet. Not until we crossed back into the secured perimeter of the house. Only then did I let go. But even then, I stayed close. Too close, maybe. I didn’t care. “Lock everything down,” I said the moment we stepped inside. “Yes, sir.” The response came instantly. Doors secured. Systems reinforced. Movement restricted. Everything shifted into place within seconds. The house that had felt open before now felt sealed. Controlled. Safe. Or at least… safer. I turned to the men behind me. “No blind spots,” I added. “I want every inch of this island covered.” “Understood.” They moved quickly, disappearing into their roles without hesitation. That left just the two of us. Silence settled. Heavy. Uncomfortable. I finally loo

  • My stunning bride   Chapter 165 Testing Distance

    AidenThe door slamming made me shudder.I had pissed her off with my constant worrying.I know it was too much, I just couldn't help it.These people were dangerous and will stop at nothing. To get what they want.The moment she walked out, I knew it wouldn’t sit right.I let her go anyway.That was my mistake.I stood there for a few seconds after the door closed, staring at the space she had just left behind. The air still carried her presence, faint but enough to remind me how quickly things could shift.She needed space.I understood that.But understanding it didn’t mean I was comfortable with it.Not now.Not after that message.I turned back to the system, my focus snapping into place. My Fingers moved quickly across the panel, pulling logs, forcing the system to trace the breach. I couldn't wait for my team's response anymore, I had to something myself.Nothing.Clean.Too clean.Whoever sent that message knew exactly what they were doing.No trace.No entry point.No delay.

    I can’t get it out of my head.It had been two days since he left, yet I couldn’t stop replaying it—the steamy kiss we had shared before his departure.

  • My stunning bride   A steamy goodbye kiss

    Waltzing down the grand staircase in an unlikely, almost dramatic fashion, Arianna held the banister as though she were descending into a ballroom instead of her own living room. The maid walking a few steps behind her struggled to suppress her laughter, clearly amused by her mistress’s playful ele
