Chapter 105

“I did it,” she repeated, a little louder this time. “I hurt myself.”

"Why? Why..... Would you hurt yourself this way?" Shock was written clearly all over his face.

"Because at that time, it was the only option I had. So I thought." Stefan stared at her speechless, waiting for her to continue.

Mia sighed before sitting up slowly, wrapping the sheets around her chest as if they could protect her from what she was about to relive. Stefan sat beside her, his back straight, his eyes never leaving her face. He could see something was coming, something deep. Something painful. And he was ready to let her share all of it with her.

"After my mom died," Mia began quietly, her voice a near whisper. "Everything changed so fast. One minute I was her little girl, and the next... she was gone. My dad sent me abroad right after her funeral. Said I needed time, and that he wanted me to stay out of everything. Like I was a reminder he didn’t want around."

Stefan didn’t say anything. He did

  • THE SPITEFUL BRIDE: Marry To Rival's Son    108 THE FUTURE OF THE CONSTRUCTION WORLD

    Chapter 108Mia stood in front of the mirror, as they adjusted the last part of her dress. For a second, she didn’t recognize the reflection staring back at her.The gown was everything. Luxurious. Bold. Feminine.It was a deep emerald green, made from soft velvet that clung perfectly to her body without trying too hard. The strapless neckline curved into a sweetheart shape, showing off her collarbones and shoulders in the most flattering way. The dress hugged her figure down to her knees before flaring out into a dramatic fishtail that trailed softly behind her.The details were even more stunning up close.... delicate hand embroidery ran along the fabric like vines, and the design was studded with tiny beads and shimmering stones that caught the light whenever she moved.Attached to the back was a removable train made of light tulle and silk. It flowed like a cape and added that extra drama for when she needed to make an entrance.... or give a speech. She could clip it on or off as

  • THE SPITEFUL BRIDE: Marry To Rival's Son    107 A REVENGE THAT WAS ALMOST READY.

    Chapter 107If there was one thing Mia had learned early in business, it was this: sometimes, silence speaks louder than any press conference.And that was exactly the card she and Stefan were playing.From the moment they returned to Manhattan, it began. The cold shoulders, the missed eye contact, the subtle but obvious distance. They turned the penthouse into a cold battlefield, making sure even the walls had something to whisper about. Stefan would enter a room, and Mia would leave. Mia would eat in the dining room, and Stefan would take his meal in the office. Conversations were sparse, professional at best, and laced with unspoken tension. The perfect show for their audience. Though, staying away from each other was the last thing both of them wanted.... but they knew they had to sacrifice to gain something. And the audience? Well, they were watching.Whispers among the staff turned into full-blown gossip. The housekeepers began exchanging glances. The assistant chef who once p

  • THE SPITEFUL BRIDE: Marry To Rival's Son    106 I’VE GOT ONE TOO

    Chapter 106Stefan didn’t let go of her immediately, when he finally eased back, his hand stayed on her waist.His eyes were on her.... soft but intense. Then, without a word, he leaned in and pressed a kiss to her forehead. Gentle. Reassuring. Like a promise. A promise to always protect from people like her dad who only sees her as a tool.Mia closed her eyes. Letting the sensation of the kiss evolve her.Then Stefan looked down at her... at the small, faint scars now exposed where her shirt had ridden up slightly. His fingers brushed over them gently, then without saying a word, he leaned down and kissed one.Mia breath hitched. She never expected Stefan to kiss her scar. A scar she's always been ashamed of. She as always seen it as what it was. A scar. She didn’t move, just stared at him with astonishment.His lips touched her damaged skin like it was made of something precious.When he looked back up, her eyes were wide, staring at him. He then raised his head and placed a quick k

  • THE SPITEFUL BRIDE: Marry To Rival's Son    104 SHE HAD DONE THESE TO HERSELF

    Chapter 104The next day, Stefan stood near the window, bare-chested, his phone in hand, staring at the screen like it held the weight of the world.Mose had sent him the video just twenty minutes ago. And he had watched every second.He saw himself at the bar.... relaxed, a soft smile playing on his lips. That was a huge alliance, and he wanted to act his best.Then the drink. He saw as the pill was dropped in his drink. By who and the look they gave themselves. He could still remember how it all happened.It was a moment of distraction, a lady had sat on his lap. She was an escort sent to keep him company, but he had politely turned her down. That was when they dropped the pill.He watched as his own body slumped forward, completely unaware of what was done to him.He saw the men drag him out the back like some trash. Saw how they moved fast, like it was rehearsed. Not after asking the escort to act like they were kissing, and then the picture sent to her was taken.At the hotel, th

  • THE SPITEFUL BRIDE: Marry To Rival's Son    103 I NEED YOU STEFAN

    Chapter 103The kiss was different. It was wild. They kissed each other like they had both been starved.Mia’s fingers curled into Stefan’s shirt, gripping the fabric like she was afraid to fall.... but she already had. A long time ago.Stefan’s hands moved gently, one holding her waist like she might slip away again, the other rising to cradle the back of her head. Their bodies fit like two pieces of a puzzle that had spent too long apart.When their lips finally parted, their foreheads touched. They were both breathless.Mia’s lashes fluttered as her eyes slowly opened. She found his eyes already waiting.... his gaze were intent, burning with questions and answers all at once.... they undid her.“Mia,” Stefan whispered, his thumb brushing against her cheek, “I don’t know what I did… but if I’ve ever hurt you — even without meaning to..... I’m sorry. I beg you. Please forgive me.” Her eyes welled up, she blinked the tears away immediately.She bit her bottom lip, holding herself toge
