The Bride He Wanted Was Never My Sister Chapter 41: Forcing a hand
Theo.“There's actually something else you should see. I was going to wait until you'd had your sulk, but since we're doing honesty hour.”“I wasn't sulking.” I didn't even sound convincing to myself.He chuckled. “You were sulking beautifully. It was very moving. Oscar-worthy. I've never seen you like that before yet Mrs. Hartley was able to pull that off.”I folded my arms across my chest.He turned the phone toward me. “My contact in Moscow came through. The ones I told you about. ex-agency. Does a lot of quiet work for people who don't officially exist.”I sat up a little. “The documents.”“The documents.” He nodded slowly. “They surfaced two days ago. Someone's shopping them around a very specific, very expensive corner of the black market — buyers who deal exclusively in things that can end careers, marriages, and occasionally lives.”My stomach dropped in that particular way it always did when something I'd been trying not to think about refused to stay buried. “The ones taken
The Bride He Wanted Was Never My Sister Chapter 40: Space and Snow
TheoAs at the previous day, I had no arrangements to travel out of the states but I couldn't bear her sneaking out of the house and walking on eggshells.Sitting there, in the middle of my study flipping through a book I couldn't make sense of, her words kept replaying in my head like a broken record. I was just like him.Like the same fucking Keith who caused her hurt. And the crazy thing is, I still didn't know exactly what he did, but the tremble in her body and the cold sweats was enough indication that Keith was a douchebag.I slammed the book shut, just then Sergei sauntered in holding up two steaming mugs.“I brought hot chocolate.” He said and set the mugs on the desk.I tsked, then glanced outside the window, taking in the blanket of white that covered the world below, “is it Christmas already?”“Ha Ha. Funny.” Sergei deadpannedI cracked a smile and took a seat.He turned the mug handle towards me. “It's freezing here in Siberia.”I slurped some of the thick hot liquid. It
The Bride He Wanted Was Never My Sister Chapter 39: A break In
Mira I wanted to tell him. It stayed there burning on the top of my tongue but I couldn't come out with it.I couldn't. Not yet.So when he asked me what Keith did to me, I was vague. Trust wasn't something that came easy anymore after Keith and I didn't trust Theo and especially not after the rude awakening at the event.I stood there, naked in front of him.He'd kissed my scar and it felt sacred, intimate in a way I had never felt before. His lips to my lower back made me shiver and no, it wasn't cold, it was my body hopelessly reacting to Theo's lips, so soft yet firm on my back.He didn't have to do it.He had no reason to revere, worship. Adore a part of me that marked my darkest moments. He had no right to be so sweet in my vulnerability.Maybe it was the wine I had— and I had way too many— that gave me the confidence to stand naked in front of him.My problem was wine and my own intoxication. But what was he high in, what gave him the impulse to go on his knees and kiss my sca
The Bride He Wanted Was Never My Sister Chapter 38: Lotus
TheoAct accordingly?How does one act accordingly?The only thing to do accordingly was to be there for my wife. How on earth could I ever prove that with her, I didn't know how to act accordingly.What she said back at the event was true, but it was only true to her, not to me.There was no way I would standby and watch something go wrong with her and especially not that Keith. Thankfully he would be defending his spilt lip throughout the week.Bella stayed quiet the entire drive home, keeping to her side of the car, expecting the car door on her side to push out and make more space to accommodate her.I pressed my palms to my thighs and curled them into a fist.I could take hate from any other person, even my own father but once it's Mirabella, I feel terrible.She didn't even want to be in the same space as me.Sergei cast me a worried look through the mirror and I shook my head. He'd be pissed if he found out about what happened back at the mansion.We got to our building and I m
The Bride He Wanted Was Never My Sister Chapter 37: Boundary
Theo My eyes stayed glued on Mirabella. Since the first instance with Keith, she'd safely stayed away and my chest aches at the fact that she deliberately stayed away.Bella had so much anger and disgust in her eyes when she stunned my chest back at the rest room and it bugged my mind how much it affected me.She was smiling, courteous and socializing but I could see how tense her shoulders were, her smile never quite touched her eyes and the anxious way she glanced around at intervals, she was scanning the environment for danger. Danger I didn't know of and couldn't understand.I wasn't the only one watching my wife. Keith was as well.His eyes latched on her like a predator on a prey. He was slapping another man in his back, as they shared a joke, but as he slipped wine, his eyes still found Bella.Their eyes locked and Bella froze over, just like earlier.She snatched her eyes away like Keith's gaze burnt her.Bella nodded and said something to the group she was talking to and wal
The Bride He Wanted Was Never My Sister Chapter 36: Alike in a Different way
Mirabella. Keith Anderson? Keith. Keith… My body reacted before my eyes saw the Keith that just introduced himself. There was no mistaking his voice. Scratchy and laid back in the most corky way possible. My body went still, my blood clogged rigid, into clumps of red blocks. My airways developed spines and fought the very air I struggled to take in. My grip tightened on Theo's hold. From my side I could see him turn towards me, then at the said Keith. I should turn and run from here. I should disappear but I wanted to see for myself. It couldn't be. It was impossible. Was it? It wasn't like I defeated him or ruined him. So it was still very much possible. He had just offered me his hand for a handshake and I caught a glimpse of the scar at the back of his hand where the sleeve of his inner shirt rested. That scar. I gave him that scar on one of the many alterations. I gasped and the sudden intake of air pushed me backwards. Theo's steady hand at my lower back was all tha
The Bride He Wanted Was Never My Sister Chapter 7: Her Lips Taste so much Better Than I imagined
Theo Father’s glass didn't quite make it to his lips, his eyes traced my gaze to where Harper stood with my wife. Her arms are folded in front of her. “You'll bore a hole.” I glared at my father. “I'll burn down everything if need be.” He cleared his throat. “You better keep that jealousy of yo
The Bride He Wanted Was Never My Sister Mirabella: Gilded Cage
Everyone was playing with me.They always did, not once has there ever been a time anyone took me seriously or cared for what I had to say. It was always I'm sure Mira wouldn't mind.All this was fishy, how was everyone fine with me marrying my sister's fiance.I wanted to flee from this sham and d
The Bride He Wanted Was Never My Sister Theo: The sister I always wanted
I wasn't one to be jittery.My palms were sweaty, my nerves were getting the better of me but all that ceased as the large hall door opened and the bride stepped in with her father.I watched closely as she walked further.I made the call, but the only way to know if it worked was to see the bride,
The Bride He Wanted Was Never My Sister Mirabella: The wrong Bride
I was supposed to accompany my sister, walk her down the aisle, and be her bridesmaid.What I was not supposed to be doing was wearing her dress and walking down the aisle perched on my father's arm to be wedded to the same man my sister was supposed to marry.“Keep smiling Mirabella.” My father hi
