OLIVIA

I stared at him in disbelief, then at Mia, who lowered her gaze just enough to hide the look of triumph in her eyes.

“Dad, you can’t be serious,” I whispered, my voice cracking.

He took a step forward. “If the food isn’t poisoned, then prove it. Right now.”

The room went silent, just the soft ticking of the wall clock and the faint rustle of the fire behind us.

My hands shook as I reached for the spoon. I wanted to scream, to tell him how unfair this was, how blind he was being. But the words stuck in my throat.

I could feel Mia’s eyes on me, waiting to watch me break.

I swallowed hard, my heart pounding so loud I could barely breathe. Then I scooped a small bite from the same dish, lifted it to my lips, and met my father’s stare.

“Fine,” I whispered, my voice trembling. “If that’s what it takes to make you believe me.”

And I took the bite.

The moment the food touched my tongue, a heavy silence filled the room.

Something wasn’t right. The taste burned slightly on my tongue, a s

  • The Bride He Never Wanted    He was in a wheelchair

    OLIVIAI was seated in the parlor of the mansion, and honestly I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t shocked.What the hell?The place was massive. My father’s house was big but even his estate wasn’t one-quarter the size of this.For a moment, I just sat there, feeling small and out of place. I looked down at my swollen hands and sighed. The skin still felt tight, my fingers puffy, and my legs weren’t much better. I didn’t know what was happening to me but I’d find out eventually.Right now, I had a different problem.The man who had bought me- Ryan’s uncle- had made it clear what he wanted: help his nephew, make him better, bring him out of his shell, and in return, I’d get my freedom.That word alone was enough to keep me breathing. I told myself to stay calm, think smart, and pretend. If all I had to do was act like I cared, then fine… I’d play the part.The heavy double doors creaked open, pulling me out of my thoughts. Ryan’s uncle stepped in, holding something in his hand.“I though

  • The Bride He Never Wanted    She won’t last the night

    RYANThe clinking of glasses and soft chatter around me was enough to make my skin crawl.I hated places like this- bright, loud, full of fake smiles- but here I was, sitting in my damn wheelchair in the middle of a high-end restaurant, pretending to be civilized when all I really wanted was to be home.Daisy sat beside me, my nurse, though half the time, she acted more like my handler. She was the only one who dared to talk to me without fear. “Relax, Ryan,” she said softly, stirring her coffee. “It’s Saturday. Try to enjoy at least five minutes of your life.”I shot her a look. “Enjoy?” My voice came out sharper than I intended. “You dragged me out here to wait for people who don’t have the basic courtesy to be on time. How exactly am I supposed to enjoy that?”Her lips curved in a gentle smile. “Maybe by not glaring at everyone who breathes?”I leaned back in my chair, exhaling through my nose. “They should be grateful I’m even here. If they knew how much effort it took for me not

  • The Bride He Never Wanted    I would find her

    LOGANEver since I shouted at Olivia, I hadn’t been myself.I couldn’t eat, couldn’t sleep. Couldn’t think straight. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw her face, the sound of her voice still echoed in my head. The second that door slammed behind her, everything inside me shattered too.I’d been so damn angry… at her, at myself, at the situation. But mostly, I’d been angry because I couldn’t admit what was really happening. That I’d messed up. That I’d let Mia manipulate me.I leaned forward on the couch, my elbows digging into my knees as my hands dragged down my face. The house was too quiet. Her laughter didn’t echo from the kitchen anymore, her scent didn’t linger in the hallways, and even the air felt heavier without her in it.I’d told Mia to leave right after. I couldn’t stand the sight of her fake tears, the way she clung to me like she owned me. Something about it made my skin crawl.And the worst part? Deep down, I knew Olivia had been right all along.Mia had been doing ever

  • The Bride He Never Wanted    The deal

    OLIVIAI didn’t know where they were taking me.I’d lost count of the turns, the bumps, the time. All I knew was that the car had been moving for what felt like hours through rough roads, the air growing colder, thicker, heavier with every passing minute. My wrists burned where the ropes dug into my skin, and every muscle in my body ached. I tried to steady my breathing under the suffocating black cloth covering my face.The engine finally slowed, then stopped.The next thing I felt was a hand digging into my arm, dragging me out of the car. I stumbled, my bare feet scraping against gravel. The rain had stopped, but the air still smelled of wet dirt and rust.“Move,” a deep voice growled from behind me.I barely managed two steps before the cloth was yanked from my head.The sudden light stung my eyes. I blinked rapidly, adjusting to the dim glow of a flickering bulb above me.And then I saw her standing a few feet away. “Mia…” I croaked. “Why are you doing this?”She lifted her head

  • The Bride He Never Wanted    Take a bite

    OLIVIA By the time I got home, I was shaking with anger. I slammed the door behind me, my chest heaving. The scent of pine and the faint crackle of the fireplace filled the house… normally comforting, but right now, it only made me want to scream.“Olivia?”I froze at the sound of my father’s deep voice. Alpha Rowan- the Alpha of our pack, my father. He stood in the living room, a mug of coffee in his hand, his sharp eyes scanning me from head to toe.“Why do you look like you’re about to shift and tear someone apart?” he asked with a calm tone. I swallowed hard and looked away. “It’s nothing, Dad.”His brow furrowed. “Nothing?”“I said it’s nothing,” I repeated quickly, forcing a tight smile. “Just a long day.”He studied me for a few more seconds, clearly unconvinced, but eventually sighed. “Fine. Go get some rest. I don’t need a raging daughter breaking furniture again.”I nodded and headed upstairs to my room. As soon as the door closed behind me, the tears I’d been holding back
