THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 251 — EVERYTHING SETTLES
I left Lumina shortly after noon and headed to Hale’s Corporation. Nathan was not around when I arrived. For once, I was relieved that I won't be meeting him. I did not want another conversation with him before I finished dealing with the market. I needed a clear head, and working directly with the staff would make things easier. When I entered the main office, several employees stood. “Good afternoon, ma’am.” “Good afternoon.” One of the senior staff members approached me. “We were not expecting you today.” “I wanted to review the market myself.” “Of course.” I walked into the conference room and asked them to bring me the latest reports. Within minutes, files were placed in front of me. I studied the figures carefully. The unusual movements that had caused concern were almost gone. The companies connected to the earlier fluctuations had returned to normal patterns. I looked at the senior analyst. “What about the remaining unstable accounts?” “They have settled.” “All of
THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 250 — THE ORDER
Adrian did not drive home immediately. After leaving the parents behind, he turned his attention back to the school. “I still need to speak with the principal,” he told his assistant. His assistant nodded. “I thought you were finished.” “With the parents, yes. Not with the school.” The driver turned the car around. A few minutes later, they returned to the school. Adrian waited until the car stopped near the administration building before his assistant opened the door. His wheelchair was brought out, and Adrian moved into it. The principal was informed of his arrival almost immediately. When Adrian entered the office, the principal stood quickly. “Mr. Laurent, good morning.” “Good morning.” “Please, have a seat.” Adrian positioned his wheelchair in front of the desk. His assistant stood behind him. “I came back because I need to make a complaint directly to you.” The principal looked concerned. “Of course. Please tell me.” “My children have been bullied for weeks.” The
THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 249 — ADRIAN'S WARNING
The next morning, Clara arrived at the school with Lila and Elias. The children stepped out of the car with their bags while Clara watched them walk toward the entrance. Their security guard stayed close behind them. Neither child noticed the black cars parked several meters away. Adrian sat inside with his assistant. His driver remained behind the wheel, while two security vehicles waited farther down the road. Adrian watched quietly. “Have they gone inside?” he asked. “Yes, sir,” his assistant replied. “They entered safely.” Adrian nodded. “Good. Let's wait a little.” His eyes remained on the school gate. A few minutes later, the first parents began arriving. One by one, the six students were dropped off. Adrian watched each parent leave after their child entered the school. He memorized their vehicles. “Wait until they are far enough from the school,” Adrian said. “Yes, sir.” The last parent drove away. Adrian waited another minute. “Follow them.” The driver started th
THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 248 — THE PARENTS
The next morning, Adrian woke earlier than usual. His phone rang. He reached for it. “Hello?” “Good morning, sir.” It was his assistant. “Good morning. Do you have the information?” “Yes, sir. I gathered everything you asked for.” Adrian pushed himself upright. “Send it to me.” “I already sent the files to your phone.” Adrian opened the first document. Six names appeared on the screen. “Tell me about them.” “They are all students in the same school. Four boys and two girls. They have been involved in the incidents against Lila and Elias.” Adrian scrolled through the information. “What about their parents?” “I gathered their basic backgrounds too. Names, businesses, addresses, and some information about their connections.” Adrian studied the files silently. None of the families were poor. Most lived comfortably. Some had connections in business, politics, or local communities. They were the kind of people who could make noise when challenged because they knew someone import
THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 247 — THE CALLS THEY DIDN'T EXPECT
Neither of us spoke. Both phones kept ringing. My eyes stayed fixed on Adrian’s screen. Lia. I could not understand why she was calling him at this hour. After everything that had happened, the timing felt wrong. My own phone continued to ring. Nathan. I looked at Adrian. “You should answer her.” He nodded. “You should answer yours too.” I hesitated, then stepped away from him. “I’ll be outside.” Adrian watched me leave without a word. I walked through the entrance and answered Nathan’s call. “Hello?” “Serena.” “What is it?” “I wanted to ask if we could meet when you are free.” I frowned. “Meet?” “Yes. There are a few things I want to discuss with you. Nothing urgent. I just want us to talk.” I glanced through the glass doors at Adrian. “I don’t think I’ll be free anytime soon.” “You can take your time.” “Nathan, if this is about business, you can tell me now.” “It’s not really about business.” I sighed. “Then I don’t think I can meet you. I’m not
THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 246 — WHAT HAPPENED AT SCHOOL
I knew this was not going to be a simple conversation. I froze. “What do you mean, the children?” Adrian looked at me for a moment before answering. “I found out something today. Something I think you should know.” My mind immediately went back to the entrance. “You mean what happened at Laurent Group?” “Not really, I had that settled properly.” His answer came quickly. “Then what?” “The school.” I stared at him. “The school? What happened at their school?” Adrian moved his wheelchair closer. His assistant stopped a few steps behind him. “Lila told me some students have been bullying Elias.” My mouth fell slightly open. “Bullying?” “Yes.” I felt my chest tighten. “Since when?” “Several weeks.” Several weeks. The words hit me harder than I expected. “How did I not know?” Adrian watched me carefully. “They said they wanted to tell you, but you have been busy. They didn’t want to disturb you.” I shook my head. “Still they should have told me.” “They did try to tell teache
THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 8- LINES DRAWN
I spent the morning trying to make myself useful. Anything to feel less like a shadow in this house. One of the younger maids was struggling with heavy flower vases in the main hall, so I stepped in to help carry one. Her eyes widened in surprise, but she gave me a small, grateful smile.We were ha

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
THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 5- THE IMPOSTOR'S RECKONING
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
