The Bride He Bought Chapter 127
𝘿𝘼𝙉𝙏𝙀 Lately, it feels like I’m walking through fog. Nothing stays clear long enough to make sense. Mama’s condition is getting worse; she’s reached the final stages of her illness, and any moment from now, she’ll be gone. I know this. I’ve been preparing for this. But seeing her already start planning her own funeral, saying things like, “I want lilies, not roses,” is driving me insane. I can’t stand hearing her talk about her death, so I’ve been avoiding her more than I should. It makes me feel like a coward. Because I am one. Luciana said the doctors want to run more tests, but everyone knows what that means. They’re preparing us. I don’t need to be a doctor to see what’s coming. And in the middle of all that, there’s Alera. I’ve spent years mastering the art of control, just like Papa taught me. I’ve kept everything about my life neat and compartmentalized, and for so long, it worked well for me. Until she showed up and wrecked all of it. Now, every time I wal

𝘼𝙇𝙀𝙍𝘼 I don’t know how long I’ve been sitting here. The tears have stopped, but my chest still hurts. I wipe my face with the sleeve of my shirt, take a deep breath, and let it out slowly. The air feels thick, heavy with dread of the unknown. Maybe this is how it’s supposed to end. We were never meant to work out. We’re too different. He’s too closed off, too controlled. I talk and feel too much. We didn't even get together for the right reasons. And most importantly, my Dad hates him. Reasonably, that would have been more than enough reason to end this madness. But still… a small part of me wishes he’d at least tried. That he’d given us a chance instead of shutting me out like everything we've experienced together meant nothing. If I’d just kept my mouth shut, if I hadn’t thrown those words at him so carelessly, maybe we wouldn’t be here. But he’s right, this is for the best. He’s never given any hint that he thought we could be more than what we are. I grab my phone fr

𝘼𝙇𝙀𝙍𝘼 Yesterday, I wanted to apologize to Dante for the way I spoke to him. There’s no excuse that justifies throwing those words at him, especially since we've been so good lately. But he wasn’t home when I woke up. And when I came back from work, he still wasn't home. I stayed awake waiting for him. When I finally heard his footsteps downstairs, I waited for him to come to my room like he normally does. He didn’t. That was all the confirmation I needed, that he's really angry with me. I thought about going to his room, thought about knocking and apologizing, but I couldn’t move. I was too scared he’d ignore me. So I just gave in to sleep. Hoping that tomorrow would be better. Well, it's finally tomorrow and right now, still in my robe and not ready for work, I’m standing outside his office, rehearsing the words I’ve been trying to form since last night. I breathe out slowly, twist the knob and push the door open. He’s behind his desk, typing. He doesn’t look up imme

𝘿𝘼𝙉𝙏𝙀 Soulless bastard. The word repeats in my head with every step I take down the stairs. On the outside, I look composed, expression steady and pace measured. But with each lift and drop of my feet, the heavier I feel. Maybe this is the reminder I’ve been avoiding. That none of the effort, restraint and quiet ways I’ve tried, changes anything. She still sees me the same way she did back then. And that makes everything I've built, even the silent hope I've ignored, crumble deep within me. I’ve been called worse. I’ve had men spit at me in courtrooms, beg me for mercy, curse me. None of it touched me. But when she said it, it landed different. It didn't feel like a mere insult. She said it like it was a truth she believes. Downstairs, in the wine cellar, I pull out a bottle of whiskey from the glass case, take out a glass and pour the drink in it. Then, I lift it to my lips, and I'm about to down the entire glass, but stop halfway. I stare at the drink for a moment, then

𝘼𝙇𝙀𝙍𝘼“Safe? Safe from who?""Rowan?”Dante doesn’t answer. He just stares at me like he’s weighing what to say and what to keep hidden.I study his face. He looks so serious for this to just be about some old rivalry, I can definitely tell there's something more to this. But how? Rowan isn't scary. “You made it sound like he’s dangerous.”He doesn’t respond and that silence does more than words.Sure, the reason Rowan slept with Nichole is more calculated and cruel than I thought, and yeah, he lied by saying it was because he loved her. That alone makes me look at him differently. But that doesn’t automatically mean he’s a threat.Maybe he's jealous.He kissed me right in front of his brother to make a statement I'm sure. And the thought that this might be jealousy makes my delusional heart warm with excitement. I haven't been hopeful about anything, not after reminding myself constantly that this marriage isn't real, but the way he looked at me out there it makes me think maybe
The Bride He Bought Chapter 122
𝘿𝘼𝙉𝙏𝙀 Something ugly twists in my heart with every step I take toward them. I don’t know what it is, could be worry, mixed with this deep ugly feeling of intense jealousy, I have no idea which it is, but it burns. I keep seeing it in my head, her laughing with him like they’ve known each other longer than three weeks. Like they've formed a bond that excludes me. Just minutes ago, I was preparing to tear down the entire building if she didn’t answer her phone. Meanwhile, shes been fine with him all along. Her face looks like it mirrors my expression if worry is the dominant emotion. She begins to move towards me as well and I meet her half way. The moment she’s in front of me, she opens her mouth to say something, but I don’t let her. Both my hands cradle her face as I tilt it up, then I kiss her. So deeply as though if I pulled away, she would disappear. She inhales sharply against my mouth, startled, but she doesn’t pull away. I do, after a few seconds, staring right int
