The Bride He Never Wanted Complicated feelings
RYANI was stressed and exhausted, the weight of the entire day pressing down on my shoulders. From the moment we'd discovered those cameras in Olivia's apartment to the frustrating conversation with Marcus about not having solid proof that Logan was behind it all… everything felt like it was spiraling just slightly out of my control.I sat at my desk in the penthouse office, staring blankly at my laptop screen without really seeing it. My mind kept replaying the look on Olivia's face when we'd found those cameras, the violation and fear in her eyes. And then Logan showing up at her door, playing the concerned ex-boyfriend while probably knowing exactly what we'd discovered.The rage that thought sparked made my hands clench into fists.A knock on the door pulled me from my thoughts."Come in," I called out, already knowing who it would be.Uncle Richard entered, his expression concerned as he took in my tense posture and the obvious stress written all over my face. "You alright, son?
The Bride He Never Wanted I’m sorry
OLIVIAA tap on my leg made me wake up with a start. I blinked groggily, my eyes adjusting to the dim light of my bedroom. The laptop was still on my chest, the documentary playing on a loop, the screen showing credits rolling.I looked up to see Lena smiling down at me, her arms crossed as she perched on the edge of my bed."Lena?" I said, my voice thick with sleep. "You're back?"For Lena to be back, it had to be late. Really late. She usually worked until closing at the restaurant, which meant...I fumbled for my phone on the nightstand, squinting at the screen. 10 PM. And my laptop battery was at 2%, the little red icon blinking at me urgently. Of course… I'd left the documentary playing on repeat while I slept."Fuck," I muttered, reaching for my charger and plugging in my phone. "I slept off.""I can see that," Lena said with amusement. "Found you conked out with your laptop still playing. You were snoring, by the way.""I don't snore," I protested automatically, sitting up and
The Bride He Never Wanted Sympathy
OLIVIAWe continued washing and drying in silence for a few moments, and I felt a wave of sympathy for Axiel. He'd lost his grandmother, discovered he had a twin brother… all within the span of a few months."Ryan's lucky to have you," I said. "You both are lucky to have found each other."Axiel glanced at me. “And Ryan's lucky to have you. You know that, right?"I felt my cheeks warm slightly. "I don't know about that.”He handed me the last plate. "But seriously, Olivia. You're good for him. I can see it."“I think that's giving me too much credit," I said, focusing intently on drying the plate."I don't think it is." Axiel pulled the plug on the sink, letting the soapy water drain. "You saved his life. You risked everything for him. That's not nothing.""Anyone would have…""No," Axiel interrupted gently. "Not anyone. Most people would have run. Would have saved themselves. You didn't. That makes you exceptional."I set down the dried plate and the towel, not quite knowing what to
The Bride He Never Wanted Incredibly hard
OLIVIAI opened my mouth, ready to spill everything that had happened… the cameras, Logan showing up, the fear that had been gnawing at me all day. But then I hesitated.No. I wasn't going to do that.I couldn't just go around telling everyone about this. Not when I didn't know who to trust. Not when someone had managed to plant cameras in my apartment without me noticing. At this point, I didn't know who was safe to confide in.So instead, I smiled and took a sip of my wine. "It was nothing, actually. Just stressed out from everything, you know? Running the restaurant, dealing with... life stuff. But I think I'm better now."Axiel studied me for a moment, and I wondered if he could tell I was holding back. But then he smiled and nodded. "Alright then. I'm glad you're better. Everyone needs a mental health day now and then.""Exactly," I said, grateful he wasn't pushing. "Sometimes you just need to make pasta and reset.""The therapeutic power of carbs," Axiel said with a grin. "I fu
The Bride He Never Wanted Be careful
RYANI sat in the cramped back room of what looked like a legitimate computer repair shop from the outside, but was actually something else entirely. The walls were lined with monitors displaying code I couldn't begin to understand, and the air smelled like solder and energy drinks.The tech guy, Marcus, though I was pretty sure that wasn't his real name, had disappeared into an even smaller room twenty minutes ago with the bag of cameras, muttering something about "running diagnostics."I checked my phone again. A text from Olivia saying Axiel was coming over. Good. I didn't like the idea of her being alone right now, even though I knew she could handle herself. The thought of someone watching her, violating her privacy like that, made my blood boil.The door finally opened and Marcus emerged. He was younger than I'd expected… maybe early thirties, with messy dark hair and the kind of pale complexion that came from spending too much time indoors staring at screens."So?" I stood up i
The Bride He Never Wanted New Friendship
OLIVIAI paused, considering. Part of me wanted to say yes immediately… Axiel had been nothing but helpful and kind, and the idea of having company while I waited for Ryan to get back was appealing. But another part of me was still on edge, still wary after finding the cameras and having Logan show up at my door."You still there?" Axiel asked."Yeah, sorry. I was just thinking." I looked down at the pasta dough on my counter, half-kneaded and waiting. "Actually, yeah. That would be nice. I'm making way too much pasta for one person anyway. Do you like carbonara?""I like anything I don't have to cook myself," Axiel said with a laugh. "Are you sure? I don't want to impose, especially if you're having a quiet day.""You're not imposing. Honestly, the company would be good. I've been a little... on edge since this morning.""Everything okay?" His voice immediately became more serious, more alert."Yeah, it's just... there's been some stuff going on. I'll explain when you get here. Ryan
