THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 105- LIA'S QUESTIONS
Adrian folded the contract again and slipped it back into his pocket. The driver stopped at the entrance. As Adrian stepped out into the cool night air, one question lingered, sharp and unanswered. How much was he truly willing to lose? The automatic doors of the hospital slid open. He walked in, heart heavier than when he left Serena’s office. The choice wasn’t over. It had only just begun. When Lia’s mother and father reached home late that night, Lia was already waiting for them at the door. She stood there, shifting from one foot to the other, so eager to meet them. The hallway light cast long shadows across the floor. As soon as they stepped inside, she greeted them with a quick smile. “Mom. Dad. You’re back.” No response from them. They took off their coats slowly, eyes tired. Lia waited a moment, then tried again. “How was it? How is Serena? Is she all I said she was, or is she a completely different person entirely?” Still nothing. Her parents moved toward the living room
THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 104- SERENA'S COME BACK ON ADRIAN
After I rolled the chart and kept it safe with me, I looked Adrian in the eyes. “This is the only way. You get the strategy. I get peace for me and my children. No more games.”Adrian leaned back in the chair. He laughed. At first it was short, almost surprising. Then he laughed louder again, the sound filling the office. “You’re bold now, Serena. I can see that.” He shook his head, still smiling like he couldn’t believe it. “No problem. Where’s that contract?”I picked up the phone on my desk and dialed Clara. “Clara, could you bring the file I gave you earlier to keep? The one in the locked drawer. Yes, now please.”She answered quickly. “On my way.”A few minutes later, Clara knocked softly and stepped in. She handed me the thick folder without a word, her eyes flicking to Adrian for a second before she left and closed the door.I went through the papers carefully. My fingers found the contract I had prepared when I was analysing the charts. I slid it across the table to Adrian. “H
THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 103- THE FINAL BARGAIN
I led Adrian into the room I used as my office when working from home. The familiar scent of fresh coffee and faint perfume hung in the air. I watched his face, wondering what he’d make of it all.When Adrian entered the room, he paused. His eyes swept over everything. The space looked different from what he probably expected. It was even more well arranged and structured than his study back in his mansion. Designer bags sat neatly at the corners, all carrying the Lumina Designs logo. Scarfs, heels, and other accessories filled the shelves in careful order. Above the main desk, the name LUMINA stood out in bold letters on the wall.He took a slow step forward, taking it in.I closed the door behind us with a soft click. “This is where the real work happens most days,” I said.Adrian turned to me. Then he asked me straight out whether I’d gotten engaged to another billionaire or even the governor’s son when I left. His voice carried that mix of curiosity and something sharper underneat
THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 102- UNINVITED TENSION
I stepped outside to see what the noise was about. The securities were holding back a man who was shouting my name. When I got closer, I saw it was Adrian. He looked frustrated, his clothes a bit rumpled from the dragging with my securities. The securities were only doing their job. They were stopping any stranger from coming into the house of the CEO of Lumina. They had no idea who he was.Adrian thought because his children were in the house, he had every right to be there. He didn’t feel the need to explain himself to the securities. But they stood firm, arms crossed, not letting him pass.“What the hell is the meaning of all this commotion?” I asked, voice sharp.When they saw me, the securities calmed down a little. Adrian turned to me, breathing hard. “These people of yours refused to let me in. They said they weren’t told I would be coming?”I looked at him, surprised and a bit annoyed. “Did you tell me you were coming? How can you come to my house and cause all this commotion?

At the station after the guy that ran Adrian’s mother confessed, Adrian took his phone and called his father. He stepped outside the interrogation room for some privacy, the fluorescent lights buzzing above him. “Dad, you won’t believe this,” he said when Victor answered. His voice was low but urgent. “The driver just confessed it wasn't a normal accident. Mr Enzo, the CEO of Lobek Enterprise sent him to take out Mom. It was deliberate.” Victor was quiet for a moment on the other end of the line. Adrian could feel him getting angry. “Lobek? Those snakes. They have always been a company that has been jealous of our company since day one. They’ve always envied our market strategies and have been looking for a way to either surpass us or bring us down. So after trying everyways to bring down my family, they didn't see. So they came for my wife? They planned this accident and paid the driver handsomely not to talk. But why did the driver still go ahead and expose them? Son.” Adrian nodd
THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 100- UNEXPECTED CALLS
When I got home, I was very tired. The whole day had drained me completely. My legs felt heavy as I walked through the front door. The house was warm and quiet. I kicked off my shoes and went upstairs to check on my children. Lila and Elias were sleeping peacefully in their room. I stood there for a few minutes, just watching them. I bent down and kissed their foreheads lightly, careful not to wake them. Then I went to my own room, changed into my comfortable night clothes, and fell into bed immediately. Sleep came fast because of how tired I was. I didn’t even have time to think about Adrian or the merger before my eyes closed. The next day was a Sunday. We wouldn’t open Lumina that day. It was a good time to rest and do some simple activities at home. We had a slow breakfast together. The kids were excited, laughing as they ate their pancakes. We played some games in the living room, drew pictures, and talked about their school stories. It was the kind of peaceful day I needed afte
THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 7- RULES OF THE HOUSE
I avoided everyone for the rest of the day. It wasn’t hard.Nobody came looking for me anyway.The mansion was too large, too cold, filled with people who work as maids. Every hallway felt unfamiliar. Every room reminded me that this wasn’t my home.I spent most of the afternoon sitting near the wi
THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 6- INVISIBLE
I stayed slumped against the wall for a long time, his release still sliding down my thighs. The house was quiet now. Too quiet. Later that night, I couldn’t sleep. I wandered the halls, trying to find water, when I heard voices from the guest wing, low, intimate. I froze outside the slightly aj

Where is Lia?” He asked again. His voice cut through the room like something sharp. I didn’t answer. Not because I didn’t want to, but because I didn’t know where to start.He swung his legs off the bed and stood up, running a hand through his hair. The calm from last night was gone. What stood in
THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 4- THE TRUTH HE WOKE UP TO
He smiled. Soft. Warm. Almost boyish. “There you are,” he murmured. My heart dropped. Because even now… He still thought I was Lia. He stepped in, jacket already off, shirt partially unbuttoned, the scent of whiskey and cologne clinging to him. His movements were unstable from drinking, but ther
