Chapter 9

This wasn’t her room anymore. The soft pick coloured walls she had chosen herself were now painted over in a stark white, and the delicate pink furniture she had grown up with was gone. In its place was a cold, modern layout, minimalistic, clinical even. It looked like a hotel room, not a space filled with memories.

For a moment, she just stood there, her gaze scanning the room, trying to process what she was seeing. Her chest tightened, and her stomach churned. This room was the only memory of her mom that remained. Her dad had redecorated the entire house, because he said they reminded him of her mother. Of course at then she found it ridiculous, she still does.

The changes made to her room wasn't just a redesign. It was erasure. Everything that had once made this room hers was gone.

“Sarah!” she called out sharply, her voice echoing down the hall. It wasn’t a request; it was a command.

Within seconds, Sarah came running, her hands nervously clutching the edge of her uni

  • THE SPITEFUL BRIDE: Marry To Rival's Son    118 SOMETHING WAS DEFINITELY WRONG

    Chapter 118The emotional exhaustion hit her like a wave. The sleepless night, the shock of what she'd witnessed, the effort of keeping herself together, it all crashed over her at once.Her eyelids grew heavy. She fought it at first, but her body was shutting down, protecting itself the only way it knew how.The gentle hum of the engine, the rhythm of the road, the afternoon sun streaming through the window, it all conspired to pull her under.She closed her eyes, just for a moment. Just to rest. She didn't know how many minutes or hours she's slept but she felt was off.Something was definitely wrong.Her eyes fluttered open, her mind struggling to surface from the depths of sleep. The car had stopped, but they weren't in the city anymore. Through the window, she saw trees. Thick, dark woods that seemed to stretch endlessly in every direction.And in the distance, barely visible through the foliage, was a structure that made her blood run cold.An abandoned warehouse, its windows b

  • THE SPITEFUL BRIDE: Marry To Rival's Son    117 SHE COULDN'T BREAK DOWN

    Chapter 117Time fractured.Mia stood at the doorway, watching her husband kiss another woman, and felt something inside her chest cave in completely. Not break, cave. Like a building collapsing from the inside out, leaving nothing but empty space and dust.Her knees wanted to buckle. Her vision blurred at the edges. But she remained standing, frozen, as if moving would make it real.Stefan's eyes which was open, caught hers. The moment he saw her, his whole body went rigid. Panic flooded his face, raw, desperate panic, and he pushed Sammy away so suddenly she fell off his lap and landed on the cold tiles."Mia....." Her name came out strangled, like he was drowning.But Mia didn't hear it. Not really. Everything sounded muffled, like she was underwater. She watched his mouth move, saw the horror in his eyes, but the words didn't reach her.Sammy turned slowly, a satisfied smirk playing at her lips. She looked at Mia like she'd just won a game they hadn't even known they were playing.

  • THE SPITEFUL BRIDE: Marry To Rival's Son    MIA MEYER ALWAYS WIN

    Chapter 116He lifted her and set her down on the edge of her makeup table, knocking over a few brushes and bottles that clattered to the floor, completely forgotten. His lips never left hers, urgent and consuming, like he’d been starved of her and could finally breathe again.He kissed her like he she was his air, like the world had stopped and only they existed in that moment.She gasped when his mouth moved to her neck, then to her ear, his teeth grazing her earlobe. The sound that escaped her made him groan deep in his throat, and her fingers tangled into his hair, gripping tight as if anchoring herself.Her thoughts blurred, her mind a haze of sensation and need. Every stroke of his hand sent another tremble through her. He touched her like he knew every part of her, what made her weak, what made her breathless.His fingers slipped lower, finding her already wet, trembling, and aching for him. A knowing smirk tugged at the corner of his lips.Mia narrowed her eyes, trying to glar

  • THE SPITEFUL BRIDE: Marry To Rival's Son    115 ONLY YOU

    Chapter 115Mia stayed in the shower way longer than she needed to. The hot water burned her skin, but she didn't care. She wanted Stefan to wait. She wanted him to feel as frustrated as she felt.First love.Those words kept playing in her head. Over and over. The way that woman had said it with such confidence, like she still owned a piece of Stefan's heart.And Stefan had just sat there. Said nothing.Mia scrubbed her hair for the third time, working the shampoo through her curls with angry movements. She wasn't usually the jealous type. She was better than that. But something about seeing another woman look at her husband like that made her blood boil.After an hour, she finally turned off the water. Her fingers were wrinkled and her skin was red from the heat. She wrapped a towel around herself and stepped into the bedroom.It was empty. Stefan was gone.She blinked, her heart doing something weird in her chest. She'd expected him to be pacing around the room, trying to explain

  • THE SPITEFUL BRIDE: Marry To Rival's Son    114 EVEN IF SHE ASKS FOR HIS LIFE, HE'LL GLADLY GIVE TO HER

    Chapter 114The moment the clock on the wall ticked to seven, Stefan closed the file in front of him. He hadn’t finished the work, not even close, but right now, work didn’t matter.He was tired and fraustrated. Not from the long day, but from the silence Mia had wrapped herself in since the meeting. She hadn’t yelled, hadn’t accused, hadn’t even said much, and somehow, that silence was worse than anything she could have said out loud.He was done watching her keep him at a distance with polite smiles and clipped words like he was just another associate.He glanced at her across the room.She was still seated, flipping through a document like nothing was wrong. Like she hadn’t just watched another woman call herself his first love in front of a boardroom full of people. Her face was calm, unreadable, but he knew Mia too well. She was hurt. She just refused to show it. And it was because of him. That was the most painful part of it all.He stood and walked toward her, determined.“Mia

  • THE SPITEFUL BRIDE: Marry To Rival's Son    113 YOU’RE HIS PAST. I’M HIS FUTURE

    Chapter 113Mia felt the room spin inside her heart, for a second.Everything felt like it paused.Stefan didn’t speak.She turned to look at him slowly, searching his face for… something. Some sign that this was a misunderstanding. A prank. Anything.But all she saw was his clenched jaw and dark eyes, glaring at the woman across the table.That silence told her more than she wanted to know.Her spine straightened, but she didn’t flinch. Didn’t let her smile slip, either.Instead, she looked at the lady..... Stefan had called Sammy, slowly..... her expression unreadable, her smile as bright and wide as ever. “Why would I have a problem, Miss Sammy?” she said coolly. “You’re his past. I’m his future. You were his first love. But I'm the one he'll love till his last breath.”She paused for just a second, then added with a softer smile, “Now, if we’re done with the personal history lesson, can we focus on what we’re all here for?”Elena couldn't help the wide smile that appeared on her
