The Billionaire’s Fragile Bride 21. PARTY GUESTS 2
Orla's heart skipped a beat when she sighted the gate. She had left the house in despair the last time she was there, now she was back again.The gate automatically pulled open and David drove in, he found a perfect spot to park the car. With shaky hands, Orla opened the door and got out of the car while Callan stayed a little longer to give David some instructions. When they were both ready, she looked at him, but he didn't acknowledge her gaze. He took a step forward, leaving her to struggle with her overly long-dress.She had loved the dress before, but now she hated it so much she wanted to rip it off her body. Her stomach churned and she tasted bile as she walked behind Callan. He didn't care, other couples who were present linked arms with their partners, but she was left alone to walk in.As she stepped into the foyer, a sudden rush of jitteriness consumed her, almost paralyzing her. The house was the same, nothing had changed except for the different colours of balloon decora
The Billionaire’s Fragile Bride 22. KNIGHT IN SHINNING ARMOUR
Mia was the first to spot Orla approaching them, she called the attention of her other sisters and they rushed to the middle of the lobby, stylishly crossing her before she joined them. The other three sisters smiled at the guests, gesturing to them to drink up and eat to avoid getting involved in their drama with Orla.Mia's grip was hard on Orla, bruising her skin as she hauled her out of the lobby down to the garden. The rage that surged through her smite Orla, she almost regretted why she had to do that now. Callan wasn't near, no one was near to save her."How dare you?" Mia yanked her arm off her, flinging her away. "How dare you ruin the party?" Her palm flew up and swiftly it collided with Orla's face before she could swerve."She sure has some nerves, who the hell do you think you are?" Camilla whisked towards them, tugging at Orla's hair. She pulled it so hard that her scalp began to hurt.She was striving to get her hair off her sister's hand when Emma showed up, slapping
The Billionaire’s Fragile Bride 23. MORE OF THIS NIGHT
"Now we are the same," Orla plunged the flowers into her hair, giggling hard. She took the hands of a little girl that was with her and they ran around the garden."Mom said we should not go over there." The little girl told Orla when they were in front of the pool. She walked some steps back, grabbing Orla's hands. "Don't go against mommy's words.""I won't," Orla whispered in her ears. "Let's go back to the garden." They trotted back to the garden, the sound of their innocent laughter filling the air."Do you know that I am older than you?" The little girl asked Orla when they got inside.Orla was about to respond when one of their sisters showed up."Where is your babysitter?" She asked them, positioning her hands on her sides. Her expression read fury, they detected that with little brains."Aunty Rose went to get…" The little girl with Orla was scared of the ferocious eyes she gave them."She went to get us water," Orla said sharply, swishing her small teddy bear in front of thei
The Billionaire’s Fragile Bride 24. MR SCARRED FACE
Orla flung her phone on the car seat. She kneaded her fingers against her face, distress blanketing her. She missed three calls from the veterinary Doctor who was treating Betty and all efforts to reach him back had proved abortive.She was in the car with David, heading to the venue where Liam's award ceremony was supposed to take place. Callan had pushed her forward, he had an important business meeting to attend."Will you stay back?" David nodded his head, turning to stare briefly at Orla. His bright blue eyes met her sad ones and he smiled. "The Boss said he would be there before the show ends. He does not want me to stay back.""I see." She wasn't the type to attend parties and award shows, but it was unavoidable because she got married to a billionaire. She didn't fancy the fact she had to accompany him to every party, she wouldn't have gone to this too, but Liam was a friend and she didn't want to let him down. He made a gorgeous dress for her, it was only fair that she honou
The Billionaire’s Fragile Bride 25. TOUCH ME
The names of nominees were called out and the mic was passed onto the VIP that was to give out the award."We have great designers here in Dallas." The VIP Blondie said, smiling. Meticulously setting the mic in her hand, she looked at the crowd and continued. "The winner was chosen based on netizens' votes and of course, the brand's designs... Ladies and gentlemen, the award for the best fashion stylist in the city goes to Liam Stone.""That's it!" Orla yelled from her seat, "Give it up for Liam." She roared, sipping from the cup of wine in her hand. She didn't drink alcohol, but she was trying out a new thing this evening.A round of applause rumbled among the guests, honouring him as he took swift gaits to the stage to receive the award. He gave an appreciation speech and went back to sit down."Now, it's time to dance." The host was back to anchoring, "I'm certain you all invited your guests because we have so many activities left on our list. But for now, let's hit the dancefloor
The Billionaire’s Fragile Bride 26. AWAY
Callan had gone for three weeks and two days. He had stayed away from her since the last time, not talking to her, not responding to her greetings until he travelled to France to meet with the real estate companies who were in charge of the new business he planned to venture into.Orla was well aware of the reason her husband was distant and it broke her heart into shreds.She had been all alone by herself, and Betty was getting sick again. She fed her the last piece of steak in her hand and watched her until she fell asleep in her arms.The house was empty without Callan. His absence made her life desolate and loathed that. Even though he didn't talk to her when he was at home, his presence in the house inexplicably encrusted her and she always yearned for it.She picked up her phone to call Callan with the number she had gotten from David a week after he travelled, but she couldn't bring herself to dial the number even though she so badly wanted to.She had no idea how long he'd bee
The Billionaire’s Fragile Bride 27. HERE FOR YOU
"I didn't do anything, Callan. I swear, I didn't do anything to anyone." Orla sobbed, clinging to Callan's arms. She was petrified. All her life, she had never been more scared than she was now.Callan had zero idea what she was jabbering, but he let her stay there, carefully patting her back to soothe her. "Stay here," he purred."She will come for me, they will come for me. They hate me, they all hate me." She muttered in a shaky voice. She slackened her grip on Callan and stepped away from him. "I can't stay here," tears trickled down her cheeks in folds. "Hey," He was stressed out after travelling for hours, but the fear that marred Orla's face was perturbing and he wanted to do something to help. It was obvious hugging her wouldn't do much and he had no idea what to do to someone who just awoke from a terrible dream. He didn't give a fuck if anyone was hurt, had terrible dreams or was even dying but he had been restless since he left the house and all that crammed his head was
The Billionaire’s Fragile Bride 28. A BAD BOY
"Go get dressed, we are going somewhere."That was all it took to get her out of the house and down to wherever they were now.Nothing more followed those words and now, they were in front of a skyscraper with different smaller buildings. She couldn't even point out where they were and why they were there.David set the car to a halt, securing a pass from the valet parking services. "Thank you, David," Callan said, smiling a little to ease the tension that compressed the car throughout the ride.They got out of the car and headed to one of the small buildings. Orla stopped in her tracks when they were close to the door, hands delicately attached to her sides, she glanced at Callan and asked. "Where is this place and why are we here?""You don't have to trust me. You just have to come in to feed your curiosity." Callan responded, kissing his teeth. Orla squinted, her eyebrows furrowing in worry. She trusted that Callan wouldn't sell her off to organ harvesters, he had a lot of money
