His eyes dropped to her lips. He didn’t hide it, he let his gaze linger with a slow, deliberate hunger that made her pulse skip. Then, almost lazily, his hand moved from her cheek, his thumb brushing the corner of her mouth. Light, like it was barely there, but her breath hitched all the same.
His eyes followed every twitch, every parting of her lips as though they were whispering secrets only he could hear.
She wanted to say something, anything, but her mouth disobeyed her, betraying her with silence. Her lips parted slightly, like they were waiting… inviting.
And for one breathless moment, she truly believed he would kiss her, and she wanted.
Oh God help her, she wanted really him to.
The thought struck her like a slap. What was wrong with her? No man had ever come this close without consequences. Her boun

THE SPITEFUL BRIDE: Marry To Rival's Son 32 HE CAME FOR ME... MY KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR.
Chapter 32As Mose stood frozen, eyes still on the trail of dust left by the black Ferrari, his fists clenched by his side, a sharp screech echoed in front of him.A sleek black car halted just inches away, the passenger door flung open before he could even process what was happening.He turned quickly, instinctively defensive, only to find the last person he expected. Ethan was behind the wheel, his expression unreadable but urgent.Mose’s eyes narrowed. “What the hell are you doing here?”“I know you don’t trust me,” Ethan said flatly, not wasting time on pleasantries. “But right now isn’t the time for that. We can catch up to them, that's if we leave immediately.” There was a pause, no longer than a breath.Mose didn’t ask questions, his gut was screaming louder than logic. He got in without another word, slamming the door shut. Ethan shifted the car into gear, tires squealing as they peeled out of the driveway and vanished into the dark night.“Do you think we can catch up with th
THE SPITEFUL BRIDE: Marry To Rival's Son 31 THIS STORY WOULD NOT END WITH “HAPPILY EVER AFTER.”
Chapter 31He cupped her cheek gently, tilting her chin up toward him, his eyes searching hers.The clinking glasses, the soft gasps, the flashes of light, none of it mattered the moment leaned in. Time slowed, as if the universe had stopped to watch this single moment unfold. Mia’s breath caught in her throat, and her lips trembled slightly.Stefan’s thumb brushed over her skin, a gentle, grounding touch.They were doing this just for them, it was just an act to rile their fathers, Mia reminded herself. But her body wasn’t listening, neither was her heart. Because she could feel it, it felt like it wanted to jump out her chest.As his lips brushed against hers, soft, searching, and unhurried, the room faded. Mia forgot how to breathe for a second. Her eyes fluttered shut, and she leaned into him instinctively. The kiss wasn’t rushed, It was one of the best shows of her life. She couldn't help but wish, they never stop playing the show.Her thoughts tangled around the feeling of him.
THE SPITEFUL BRIDE: Marry To Rival's Son 30 I LOVE YOU MIA STERLING
Chapter 30Mia adjusted her smile as she watched her father approach, flanked by his usual entourage. The crowd parted like waves, people stepping back just enough to witness what was surely about to unfold."Father," she said with a voice so low and sugary it almost sounded like a whisper laced with poison. "Thanks for coming."Samuel Meyer gave a slow, smug smile. "Wouldn't miss it for anything in the world." Mia caught it instantly, the double edge to his words, Stefan did too. And so did Jeremiah Sterling, standing right beside them. All three knew the weight behind the sentence. This wasn't a show of support, it was a power play, who'd get the best reaction out of the other. Who'd win in this game there all playing.The whole hall had stilled, watching, waiting, for anything. Everyone was aware of the longstanding feud between the Sterlings and the Meyers, and very few had witnessed both men in the same room, let alone breathing the same air without their voices raised.Jeremiah
THE SPITEFUL BRIDE: Marry To Rival's Son 29 HE WANTED A REACTION? FINE. SHE’D GIVE HIM SOMETHING TO REACT TO, AND IT WOULD BURN.
Chapter 29No one looks at a woman he doesn't fancy that way. He might not know it now, but he definitely fancies Elena. She's never been wrong about something like this. All these years, she had watched him from a distance, hoping, wanting. But he had always seen her as Stefan’s little sister. The one he tolerated, the one he avoided, and the enemy. Not once had he looked at her like that, not like the way he was looking at Elena now.She swallowed hard, placing her untouched glass on a tray passing by, her fingers trembled slightly, but she quickly masked the expression with a tight smile when someone walked past.She had never said it out loud to anyone, but she had loved Mose for as long as she could remember, since the very first day she set her eyes on him.And tonight, she realized he had never been hers to hope for, she'd have to let go. With that in mind, she wore one of the brightest smiles on her face and headed towards Elena.She and Elena stood together near the bar, the
THE SPITEFUL BRIDE: Marry To Rival's Son MOSE IS IN LOVE WITH ELENA
Chapter 28They were coming down the stairs, one by one, but all he could see was Mia.She wore a flowing champagne-colored gown that shimmered with every step. The bodice was delicately fitted, hugging her curves in all the right places, embroidered with pearl-like beads that sparkled under the lights. The neckline dipped just enough to tease without revealing, and a soft slit on one side ran up her thigh, showing off long, elegant legs. But it was the cutout at her waist, a delicate oval of bare skin, that held his attention. His eyes dropped there, lingered, then forced themselves away. She looked… stunning. Too stunning, she looked like a dream.It was her engagement party, and she wore the moment like a crown, elegant, poised, and breathtakingly beautiful. But there was something else too, something different about her tonight. It wasn’t just the dress, or her hair pinned bac
THE SPITEFUL BRIDE: Marry To Rival's Son STEFAN, THE EVER-UNBOTHERED, GAVE A QUIET DIRECTIVE TO MOSE
Chapter 27“Mia!” Elena jumped from her chair, moving beside her. “Hey, hey, breathe!”“I’m......I’m fine!” Mia waved her off, eyes still tearing, her heart pounding against her ribs from more than just the coughing fit."Elena was the one talking, so why are you the one choking on your drink? " Stefan asked in a nonchalant tone, Elena scoffed, while giving him a deadly stare, which he returned back. Mia didn't even dare look up again, not when his gaze could undo her with just one look. They then continue their dinner in silence.After dinner, Mia approached Stefan quietly and asked if Sienna could come over in the morning to help with the engagement preparations. To her surprise, he simply shrugged and walked away without making any fuss about it. It was unexpected. She had anticipated resistance, maybe even one of his usual cold remarks, but instead,
