THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 255 — THE NIGHT BEGINS
I arrived at the café a little after seven. The first thing I noticed was how quiet it was. Too quiet. I slowed as I stepped inside and looked around. There were no customers at the tables, no soft conversations in the background, and barely any movement from the staff. Nathan was the only person sitting in the main dining area. He stood when he saw me. “Serena.” “Hi.” He smiled and walked over. “I’m glad you came.” “I almost changed my mind.” “I know.” I raised an eyebrow. “You knew?” “You sounded tired when we spoke. And so demanding on what you want us to discuss." “I am tired.” He pulled out a chair for me. “Then sit. You can complain about your day.” I smiled slightly and sat down. Nathan took the seat opposite me. Everything about him looked normal. His clothes were neat, his expression was calm. Still, something about the empty café bothered me. I glanced around again. “Is the café closed?” Nathan followed my gaze. “They had a problem earlier. The owner decided
THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 254 — THE NIGHT HAD JUST BEGUN
The maid opened the guest room.“You can leave your things here. I’ll bring anything you need.”“Thank you.”“Would you like something to eat?”“No. I’m fine.”“Then I’ll leave you to settle in.”The maid walked away. Lia closed the door. Her calm expression disappeared. She looked toward the hallway.Adrian was somewhere in the mansion. Close.She sat on the edge of the bed and opened her suitcase. She had not come here simply because she needed somewhere to sleep.She had come because Nathan’s plan depended on her. And because she wanted Adrian.She needed him to remember the version of their past she wanted him to believe. The photos had already created doubt in his mind. She had seen it herself. Serena has spent so much time with him and he probably would not want to talk to Lia that much. Now she needed something stronger.Something more than a private conversation, a few carefully chosen memories.And, if Adrian still refused to listen, she had brought something that could make
THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 253 — THE WOMAN AT THE MANSION
Far from the cafe, Lia tightened her hands around the steering wheel as she drove toward Laurent mansion.Her phone rested beside her. She had already spoken to Nathan, and his words kept playing in her mind.Make Adrian trust you.She knew it would not be easy. Adrian had lost memories, but he had not lost his judgment. He questioned almost everything she told him.Her phone was resting beside her. She picked it up and called Adrian.He answered after a few rings. “Lia?”“Hi, Adrian.”“Why are you calling?”Lia lowered her voice, making herself sound tired. “Are you at the mansion?”“Yes. Why?”She paused for a moment before answering. “I need a favor.”“What kind of favor?”“I’m having a problem at home.”Adrian became more alert. “What happened?”Lia sighed. “I can’t stay there tonight. There was a problem with the apartment, and I don’t feel comfortable staying there alone.”“Is everything okay?”“Yes. Nothing serious happened. I just need somewhere to sleep tonight.”Adrian was s
THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 252 — THE PLAN MOVES FORWARD
Nathan checked the time on his phone for the third time.Serena would be arriving soon.He sat alone at a table near the window of the quiet café, looking out at the street. A few minutes ago, the place had been busy. Now, every table around him was empty.That was exactly how he wanted it. He picked up his phone and called Lia.She answered after two rings. “Where are you?” Nathan asked.“On my way to Adrian’s mansion.”Nathan leaned back in his chair. “Good. I’m meeting with Serena tonight.”“I know.”“This is our chance, Lia. We have already talked about this enough. Tonight, we stop talking and start making things happen.”There was a brief silence.“I know what I need to do,” Lia said.Nathan lowered his voice. “Then make Adrian trust you. Make him believe you are the woman he should have chosen. If you want him to have a child with you, you need to get close enough for that to happen.”“I will.”“Don’t rush him. Adrian has lost some of his memories, but he is not stupid. Drug hi
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 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
THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 3- THE BRIDE BENEATH THE VEIL
The days before the wedding passed like a blur I couldn’t escape. People moved in and out of the house carrying fabrics, jewelry, flowers, and invitations while I stood in the middle of it all feeling completely detached. Measurements were taken and dresses were fitted. Every room was filled with
THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 2- THE WRONG BRIDE
“There’s a family willing to help us,” my mother explained quickly. “Very powerful. Very wealthy. But they have conditions.”My stomach tightened. “What kind of conditions?” I asked.My sister let out a soft, shaky breath. “They want their son to be married so that they can get a grandchild out of
THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 1- THE SPARE DAUGHTER
That night, I sat alone in the vast bedroom that wasn’t mine, wearing a white light robe they had given me after the wedding with no panties under. My hands were clenched so tightly in my lap that my nails left little crescent marks on my palms. I felt nervous.The door opened.He stepped in, jacke
