Chapter 70

Mia and Stefan walked in silence.

The chatter of children, the hum of rides, and the sweet scent of roasted nuts and cotton candy filled the air, but between them, only silence existed.

Stefan didn’t say a word, and neither did Mia. Their hands still intertwined together. She should’ve yanked her hand away, should’ve demanded answers.

But she didn’t.

Still, her heart thudded with a slow-growing irritation. They’d been walking for minutes, minutes!.....and he hadn’t said anything. Not a single word. Just silence and long strides that forced her to keep up. Like she had committed a grievous crime.

Her patience finally snapped.

She jerked to a stop and yanked her hand away. “Why are you here?” she hissed, eyes narrowed. “This isn’t a place for someone as serious-minded as you,”

Her voice was sharper than she intended, but she didn’t care. He had no right. No right to come there, ruin her rare happy moment, and drag her away without explanation.

But Stefan didn’t get offended,

  • THE SPITEFUL BRIDE: Marry To Rival's Son    82 SHE HAD NEVER MEANT FOR THAT MOMENT TO TURN SOUR

    Chapter 82Mia didn’t remember when sleep claimed her. One moment she was watching clouds drift by through the window, the next everything blurred into velvet darkness.The gentle hum of the plane was oddly comforting. Warmth surrounded her. Her last thought was how safe she felt..... wrapped in silence, close to him.Then, faintly, a jolt..... no, arms. Strong, firm arms around her body. Stefan?She stirred slightly, but her limbs felt heavy and her eyes refused to open. Her cheek found the crook of something.... a shoulder? His shoulder. The scent of his cologne confirmed it.She registered the low murmur of voices, the shifting of air as she was carried bridal style into something else. A car, maybe. His hand subconsciously tightened around her, holding her with more care than necessary.She melted deeper into sleep. She could hear and feel but her eyes just wouldn't open.Later, another movement. A door creaked. Then warm sheets. Foam met her back, and again, she drifted off witho

  • THE SPITEFUL BRIDE: Marry To Rival's Son    81 SHE WASN’T FOOLISH. SHE KNEW WHY HE WAS DOING THIS

    Chapter 81The car ride went back to being silent again, soft jazz humming in the background as city lights began to dim behind them. Mia leaned slightly against the window, still basking in the event of the day. Then she realizes she had no idea where they were heading to.She turned to Stefan, lips parting as she tucked a stray curl behind her ear.“Um… where are we going exactly?”Stefan didn't even blink. “Our honeymoon.”Mia’s face went from calm to crimson in seconds. Her eyes widened slightly, and her lashes fluttered in quick blinks as her mind betrayed her. Images from honeymoon tales Elena had gushed about filled her head uninvited.Stefan caught the shift instantly. His brows raised, and a teasing smile curved his lips. “What? Why...... are you blushing?”“What? Me?” Mia looked away quickly. “No…thing… Where..... where are we going?” She asked again, eyes darting to the windows as if that would provide answers.Stefan turned slightly in his seat, the corner of his mouth tu

  • THE SPITEFUL BRIDE: Marry To Rival's Son    80 AND HERE SHE WAS THINKING HE DID IT FOR HER

    Chapter 80Finally, Stefan tilted his head slightly, his lips quirking up into a casual, almost bored smirk.“That was just one of the little gifts I got for my wife,” he said, as though they were discussing a handbag or a dinner reservation. “She deserves more.”Chaos erupted everywhere.Reporters lost their minds. Guests gasped. Even the caterers paused mid-load. Whispers exploded like wildfire. Samuel's act was forgotten and everyone was talking about Stefan's love for his wife.“She got a PJ?”“A whole private jet? That’s like... billions.”“Is he serious right now?”“That’s Stefan Sterling for you.”"This is the definition of a power couple "And then someone dropped the bomb.“We heard it’s the just released model.... the Falcon IX Phoenix. The one that’s currently the most expensive in the world.”Everywhere dropped dead silence. Even the wind had the decency to still.Mia was frozen. Her brain couldn’t keep up. The Falcon IX Phoenix? That was in the news last month.... custom

  • THE SPITEFUL BRIDE: Marry To Rival's Son    79 IS IT TRUE YOU BOUGHT A PRIVATE JET FOR YOUR WIFE MIA

    Chapter 79But just when Mia thought it couldn’t get any worse, Samuel lifted the microphone again, his voice carrying over the softened applause.“And… since today is already perfect, and the most beautiful couple I know just got married,” he turned to face Mia and Stefan..... “I was hoping my daughter and her husband could do me the honor of… being our ring bearers.”For a moment, it was as if the entire room stopped breathing.Mia’s eyes widened slightly. But the smile never leaving her face.Ring bearers? Did he really just...... Ask her and Stefan to.....Her throat tightened.Stefan, who had remained composed all through the surprise proposal, barely flinched, but the slight tick in his jaw said it all.Samuel smiled wider. “It’d be symbolic, wouldn’t it? Passing one love into another. The bridge between two families, one moment to another. Mia?”All eyes were on her now.Mia smile never faltered. Her lips moved before her brain could catch up. “Of course, Dad,” she said sweetly

  • THE SPITEFUL BRIDE: Marry To Rival's Son    78 WILL YOU MARRY ME?

    Chapter 78The church ceremony ended with a warm cheer. Applause echoed through the ancient stone arches as the officiant pronounced them husband and wife. Stefan led Mia down the aisle, hand in hand, her veil gently swaying with every step.Cameras flashed. Smiles were stretched wide. The choir burst into a lively tune as flower petals rained gently over them. The church glowed with life. Everyone was happy except some few set of people. Though they put on a pretentious look.Outside, the sun cast a soft golden hue on the newlyweds as guests gathered for pictures. Mia stood beside Stefan, his hand never leaving her lower back. They took pictures with everyone, Elena, radiant as ever, standing close to Mia in all of them, and Mose beside Stefan, adjusting his cufflinks with a subtle smirk.The couple took pictures with the Sterlings family, and the Meyers family. Nobody could ever believe that Samuel and Jeremiah would ever pose for a pics together. But on this day, what always looked

  • THE SPITEFUL BRIDE: Marry To Rival's Son    77 AND IN THAT KISS WAS EVERYTHING THEY COULDN’T SAY

    Chapter 77Cameras flashed endlessly. Stefan had requested the media to do their job. This moment was theirs. Anyone with the best picture would have a reward. He wanted the whole world to witness their union.Mothers touched their chests. Friends smiled through tears. Even strangers who had only come out of curiosity couldn't help but whisper, “She’s beautiful,” like it hurt to say it out loud.At the altar, Stefan felt like the air had been knocked out of his lungs.His eyes never left her.His jaw clenched out of restraint. Because if he allowed himself, he might break the composure he'd fought hard to maintain. His hands were tightly laced in front of him, but his thumb involuntarily brushed over his ring finger, where soon, a symbol of this moment would live.Mose, standing beside him, leaned slightly and whispered under his breath, “Breathe, man.”Stefan didn’t respond. He Couldn’t. She looked like the kind of bride men wrote poems for.Stefan’s heart did something unfamiliar...
