THE GUARDIAN'S BRIDE CHAPTER 79: The first time I met Patricia
CHAPTER 79: The first time I met Patricia I told myself to stay calm, to hold my expression steady, but inside, Patricia’s words coiled like serpents, their venom spreading poisonously through me. Vance. Again. Around me. I don't want to be anywhere around him. My throat tightened as if the very thought could suffocate me, yet I refused to let her see my fear. Not her. Never her.Patricia leaned back, her elegant poise immaculate. There was a very visible shimmer of triumph lighting up her green eyes. She really thrived on the havoc she sowed, and it was clear she enjoyed watching me squirm under the weight of possibilities I dared not voice aloud. “You suddenly look quite pale, dear. I wonder what the problem could be?” She inclined her head, mock concern and confusion dancing on her face.Julia stepped forward. “Madelyn. Are you—”I cut her off, stopping her dead in her tracks with a raise of a hand while my eyes were still trained on Patricia’s face.“I'm fine. I don't need assis
THE GUARDIAN'S BRIDE CHAPTER 78: Passed around
CHAPTER 78: Passed around“You’re wasting your breath,” I said finally, voice sharper now. “Because I don’t care to hear about your fantasies of family dinners, gatherings or whatever nonsense you have in your head, or even ties that don’t exist. That will never exist. You’ll excuse me if I don’t toast to your little fairytale.”The room descended into a heavy silence that was thick with tension. I prayed for Zachary to step through those doors so we could leave. I was barely managing to hold it together. Something else was nipping at the corners of my mind. If Patricia hated me this much, what would happen when she learned the truth of what her precious son had on me? I shuddered thinking about it. Patricia noticed my trembling and smiled. “Are you cold, dear?”I glared at her without answering. Her smile tightened, though her eyes still glittered with malice. “Oh, Madelyn, don’t be so cold. The thing is, I think you might actually enjoy being passed between family. I honestly thi
THE GUARDIAN'S BRIDE CHAPTER 77: The only Mrs Blackwood
CHAPTER 77: The only Mrs Blackwood The moment Zachary disappeared into his father’s study, the silence in the room thickened, pressing heavily and undeniably against me like a storm about to break, no matter how I tried to ignore it. I walked stiffly to the nearest couch and lowered into it, all this avoiding eye contact with Patricia and even Julia. I sat rigidly, every nerve in my body thrumming with the weight of what I’d just learned. What it implied and what could happen if it really pushed through. Isaac Blackwood. A fiance. A marriage. Patricia. My heart still stumbled at the name, at the sheer absurdity of it. At the danger that it posed to me and my safety, my sanity. Yet there she was, sitting across from me like a queen who had claimed her throne and dared anyone to challenge her.Patricia’s lips curved into that smile I had come to dread, the kind that wasn’t a smile at all but a sharpened blade dressed in silk. She sat opposite me, still in the spot she had been sitti
THE GUARDIAN'S BRIDE CHAPTER 76: Live with it
CHAPTER 76: Live with itFather’s jaw tightened, but his voice didn’t rise. He leaned back in the chair, and crossed one leg over the other.“You’re too hotheaded. Always have been. Not every fight is won by force, Zachary. Sometimes—”“Don’t!” I snapped, stepping closer, my fists clenched at my sides. “Don’t lecture me. Don't you dare sit there and tell me this is strategy. This sudden plunge into matrimony with that woman is not some genius plan engineered to be a secret winning strategy. Patricia isn’t a tactic. She’s a threat to Madelyn. To me. To our family. To everything you built, and you damn well know it.”He held my gaze, steel meeting steel, and for a moment it was like staring into a mirror of my own future. Same cold eyes, same hard lines. I saw my future as I shot daggers at my father who didn’t seem to be bothered. It was either that, or the old man was just too damn good at hiding it. Except I would never be having this conversation with my son about walking into an in

CHAPTER 75: It had to be blackmail“Zachary. Let's talk in my office,” father got off the couch and turned on his heel, immediately walking away without a backward glance. “Go on,” Madelyn gently nudged me. “You have to hear him out,” she murmured in a low voice.I let go of her hand and threw a dark glare at Patricia before following after father. I was barely holding my temper in check. It was crashing inside me from every angle. Both mother and son had succeeded in infiltrating my family. I wouldn’t let them achieve their goal.I followed father into the study, the heavy oak doors closing behind us with a groan. I didn't proceed further but stood close to the shut door. The scent of leather and aged whiskey clung to the room, a place I had walked into a thousand times before, but never with this kind of fury tightening every muscle in my body. It was not everyday, I walked in here to have a conversation with my father about his sudden decision to marry a snake. He didn’t sit behi
THE GUARDIAN'S BRIDE CHAPTER 74: Burning in a fire you lit
CHAPTER 74: Burning in a fire you litI went still for half a beat. I even felt Madelyn stiffen beside me. Then suddenly, the rage ripped through me like a storm breaking loose. “You? Hell no!” The word was a roar as I rounded on her. “You dare stand here, in this house, and claim that place? What the hell are you doing with my father, Patricia?!”The vile woman was the last person I expected to see as my father's so-called fiancee. I was strongly against any plan or remarriage from my father's part, but in all honesty, I might learn to tolerate the idea as long as it was any other woman but Patricia Bomer. I was right. Something was up. Patricia’s smile only deepened. She didn’t flinch, if anything, she thrived on the fury in my tone. She walked fully into the room, closing the door behind her. She walked past us and joined father on the couch. Her manicured fingers slid along father's sleeve, settling possessively on his arm. He didn’t push her off, but I was quick to notice the
