THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 78- The Shadow Listens
He strode toward the door of his study, his footsteps heavy on the polished floor. His face was set in a hard line, but inside, a storm was brewing. Serena. After all these years. The name alone brought back memories he had tried to bury, the forced marriage, the deception, the night she disappeared. And now she had called him. She needed him. And the mystery of a daughter he never knew about and now she needed him. Lia had been hiding just outside the door, pressed against the wall in the dimly lit hallway. She had followed him quietly, her heart pounding with suspicion. When she heard him moving toward the exit, she quickly slipped into a small alcove nearby, holding her breath. Adrian walked past her without noticing, his mind too focused on getting to the hospital and seeing serena. His tall figure disappeared down the corridor toward the stairs. Lia stepped out slowly, her hands trembling. Her face was pale with shock. Serena? After all these years, she was back? The woman she
THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 77- THE CALL I NEVER WANTED TO MAKE
I went back to the hospital.Clara had fallen asleep along with the children.I sat on the edge of the hospital bed, holding Lila’s small hand. The monitors beeped steadily beside us. Emma stood by the window, giving me space but staying close. My mind was a mess. The doctor’s words kept repeating: a few days. Lila had only a few days if we didn’t find a better match.I couldn’t do this alone anymore.I picked up my phone with shaking fingers and called Nathan. He answered on the second ring.“Elena? Is everything okay?” His voice was warm but concerned.I took a deep breath. “No. Lila collapsed again. She’s in the hospital. The doctor says she needs a close biological match for the transfusion. My levels are too low. They want their father’s blood. I… I can’t do it again. Last time I chose donor blood because I didn’t want to bring him back into our lives. The doctor doesn’t recommend it this time. It’s too risky. But I don’t know what else to do.”Nathan was quiet for a moment. I co
THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 76- THE QUESTION I DREADED
Clara stayed with Elias and Lila inside the ward. She sat between their beds, holding their hands, whispering gentle stories to keep them calm. Elias kept asking where I was, and Lila looked so pale and tired. Clara was doing her best to be strong for them, but I could see the worry in her eyes when I glanced back before leaving the room.Emma and I walked down the long, brightly lit hallway toward the doctor’s office. The smell of antiseptic was strong, and the beeping of machines from other rooms made my stomach twist. My legs felt heavy, like each step took more effort than the last. Emma stayed close, her hand occasionally brushing my arm for support. She didn’t say much, but her presence was enough. She had been with me through so many hard moments. This one felt like the hardest yet.Dr. Patel’s office was at the end of the corridor. The door was slightly open. She looked up from her desk when we entered and gave us a small, tired smile. “Please, sit down. I know this is difficu
THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 75- RACING HEARTS
The brush fell from my hand. My heart stopped. For a second, the world went completely silent. All I could hear was the blood rushing in my ears. Lila. My little girl. The one who had already been through so much already. I gripped the edge of the sink, my legs feeling weak. “Clara,” I said, my voice coming out sharper than I meant. “Take her to the nearest hospital right now. The one that won't take you 15 minutes to reach. I’m already on my way. Don’t wait for anything. Just go.” Clara’s voice trembled. “Okay. I’m taking her now. She’s breathing, but she’s so pale. Hurry, Serena.” I ended the call and didn’t waste another second. I was still in the bathroom, half-dressed, my hair wet from the shower I had barely finished. I grabbed the first clothes I saw, a simple blouse and trousers, and pulled them on without bothering to dry myself properly. Water dripped from my hair onto the fabric, but I didn’t care. My hands were shaking so badly I almost dropped my phone twice. I ran o
THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 74- THE UNWELCOME GUESTS
Serena’s parents arrived at the Laurent mansion after a long time. The grand gates opened slowly for their car. They had not visited since the wedding disaster. The house looked the same, imposing, cold, and beautiful. But the atmosphere inside felt different and heavier.Lia was waiting in the living room when they entered. She had been told many times not to leave the mansion until the Laurent family regained their standing. She had spent weeks trapped inside these walls, her once-favored position reduced to nothing. When she saw her parents, her eyes filled with tears. She ran to them, her steps unsteady.“Mom… Dad…” she whispered, throwing herself into their arms.Her mother hugged her tightly, stroking her hair. “My poor girl. Look at you. It has been so long. We missed you so much.”Her father held them both, his voice thick with emotion. “We tried to come earlier, but Victor said it was not the right time but We are here now. Tell us everything.”They sat down together on the e
THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 73- PEACE THAT NEVER LASTS
He held back the anger. I could see it in the way his jaw tightened and his hands clenched at his sides. But Adrian forced a calm expression onto his face and spoke to me like we were old business acquaintances. “Elena,” he said, his voice low and controlled. “Did you receive my team’s emails? I would love to have an audience with you. Even ten minutes of your time could help us both.” I looked him straight in the eyes. “I got the emails. But I’m not interested. If you really wanted a professional meeting, you wouldn’t have stalked my worker. Leave now, Adrian.” Adrian’s eyes flickered with surprise. He hadn’t expected me to speak to him like that. He took a small step forward, but the security guards moved at the same time, raising their hands again to stop him. “I apologize for the way I approached Clara,” he said, trying to sound reasonable. “It was a misunderstanding. I only wanted to talk. Please, Elena. The Laurent company is going through a difficult time. Your insights cou
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
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
