Chapter 41

Samuel Meyer sat in the dim glow of his office, the late afternoon sun casting long shadows across the hardwood floor. His fingers tapped rhythmically against his glass desk, the Bluetooth headset snug against his ear.

"Don't worry," he said coolly, voice devoid of the warmth. "Everything will be okay. Just trust me."

He ended the call,with a blank expression. Then, without hesitation, he dialed another number. This time, his tone dropped into something sharper. Darker.

“I want it done today,” he commanded. “Make no mistakes.” he took a short pause. “Clean, no loose ends.”

He ended the call and sat still for a moment, then slowly leaned forward with a satisfied smile, a very cringe smile, curled up his lips. He tapped a manicured finger on his desk, the anticipation already feeding him.

Chaos was coming. No one messed with Samuel Meyer, especially not the child who shared his blood but dared to rise against him.

He had taught her the game, every lie, every trick, every mask

  • THE SPITEFUL BRIDE: Marry To Rival's Son    98 WHAT HAPPENED WITH YOU AND MOSE

    Chapter 98Stefan stared at Mia, a small smirk playing at the edge of his lips. Without a word, he stepped closer and placed a soft kiss on her forehead.Mia closed her eyes briefly, letting the warmth of it settle. Her smile deepened, but she didn’t say anything.Elena squinted at them from the other side of the room.“Okay… no, hold on,” she said, standing up and pointing between them. “Am I missing something here, again?”She looked from Stefan to Mia, then back again. “What’s going on? What is this?”Stefan didn’t respond. Instead, he walked over to Mia and bent down. Mia looked at him with a raised brow, what was he doing.“What are you doing?” Elena asked, eyes wide.“Mia needs rest,” Stefan said calmly, as if that explained everything.And before anyone could process it, he swept her off the couch in one smooth motion.... bridal style.“Stefan!” Mia laughed quietly, instinctively wrapping her arms around his neck.Elena gasped. “Oh my God.”She rushed to his side, leaning in c

  • THE SPITEFUL BRIDE: Marry To Rival's Son    97 BECAUSE HE TAUGHT ME EVERYTHING HE KNOWS

    Chapter 97The press was already waiting by the time they stepped outside.Cameras clicked. Voices shouted.“Mia, how did it feel taking over such a massive project for once?”“Mr. Sterling, is this the first time MSS will be working with the government?”They kept walking, eyes ahead, hands intertwined. Calm and composed.They’d both didn't agree, but none of them paid attention to the numerous questions flying around.But then a voice cut through the noise. Sharper. Louder.“Mr. Sterling, isn’t Mia just a tag-along? A pretty face with your last name?”Stefan stopped walking.The air shifted. Mia’s brows drew together, but she didn’t look at the reporter.... she looked at Stefan.His back had gone stiff, jaw tight. He turned slowly. The crowd quieted, cameras zoomed in.Stefan’s eyes found the reporter, and the look he gave him could’ve frozen blood.“Mia is not a tag-along,” he said, voice low but clear. The reporter’s hand faltered around the mic.“We’re not just a married couple,”

  • THE SPITEFUL BRIDE: Marry To Rival's Son    96 SHE WASN’T JUST A PART OF THE ROOM. SHE WAS LEADING IT.

    Chapter 96 She remembered Elena's words. They needed to leave immediately, if they want to make it on time.She stood up and walked towards the closet, with Stefan watching her every step. “We should leave immediately if we want to make it on time tomorrow” she said, tossing clothes into her bag. Her tone was firm..... devoid of uncertainty or panic..... It was sharp and focused.Stefan got on his feet too, moving with quiet urgency. “Alright ma'am. I’ll tell Collins to prep the jet.”Mia stared at him with an amused look, after a while, she nodded. “Good. I don’t want any delays.” Their eyes lingered, then Stefan moved close and gave her a quick peck on her head before saluting.A blush appeared on Mia's face but then she turned her focus back to the work at hand..... She didn’t want a single thing going wrong.Within hours, they were already on board Stefan’s private jet, headed for Manhattan.Mia sat by the window, legs crossed, typing something into her tablet. Stefan sat across

  • THE SPITEFUL BRIDE: Marry To Rival's Son    95 BY THE TIME WE'RE DONE, SAMUEL WILL REGRET NOT HANDING HIS EMPIRE IN YOUR CARE

    Chapter 95The ride back was quiet, but Mia and Stefan's hands stayed joined. Stefan had taken her hand the moment they stood up to leave the restaurant, only letting go when he opened the car door for her.Neither of them said a word the whole way home. But it wasn’t the awkward kind of silence. It was the heavy, thoughtful kind. The kind where your heart speaks louder than your voice.Mia’s mind was spinning. She could feel the pound against her chest. She kept hearing his words from earlier."I love you Mia. Let me earn your love."She hadn’t seen that coming. All this time, she thought she was the only one feeling something. She didn’t know Stefan felt it too.When they got to their room, she didn’t linger in the living room. She needed space and time to breathe. She went straight to the bathroom and freshened up.She didn’t wear anything too fancy.... just a soft tank top and shorts. Something simple. Comfortable. She wasn’t trying to make anything happen tonight. Not after last

  • THE SPITEFUL BRIDE: Marry To Rival's Son    94 LET ME TREAT YOU THE WAY A HUSBAND SHOULD TREAT HIS WIFE

    Chapter 94Mia nodded. “You can tell she didn’t expect it. Her reaction was everything.”Stefan shifted in his seat. He turned his gaze, letting it wander to the dark horizon where the last embers of the fireworks were dying out. The letters were gone now, but his chest still felt the burn.She never even thought it could be him.He let out a breath, calm and controlled. Mia didn’t notice it.She was still watching the couple, her eyes twinkling with that soft kind of envy only people pretending not to feel can carry.Stefan leaned back into his seat. Smiled again. This one was steadier. He’d worn that kind of smile his whole life, that he was so use to it.The one that hides everything.He wasn’t going to tell her. What was the point?She already made up her mind. Thought it was meant for someone else. Thought he wasn’t capable of something that intimate, that thoughtful.He let the rest of the show play without so much as a glance upward.And when the final crackle of fire lit the a

  • THE SPITEFUL BRIDE: Marry To Rival's Son    93 BUT SHE HADN’T SEEN. OR MAYBE… SHE DIDN’T WANT TO SEE.

    Chapter 93The ride back to their resort had been quiet.Mia sat with her fingers still lightly brushing her palm where Stefan had held her hand most of the day. His touch lingered, like the weight of the silver lock they’d left behind, clinging to her skin even in its absence.He hadn’t stopped touching her since morning.He’d held her hand through every picture, adjusted her sunglasses once with two fingers beneath her chin, and even tucked a strand of hair behind her ear like they’d been together for years.Mia stared at the passing streets outside the window, heart thudding.What exactly is going on with Stefan today?He’d taken at least fifty pictures with her. Always finding a reason to pose beside her. His hand on her waist, his face close to hers. There was a time she’d thought he didn’t even like photos.But today, he had proven her wrong.They’d even stopped at a garden just past the edge of the town. Stefan said he wanted to take one last picture before they returned. She h
