The Bride I Used to Be Chapter 46: The Final Choice
Bliss stood outside Blackwood Manor, her chest tight as she breathed in the crisp air. The fog that had clung to the mansion had finally lifted, revealing the land around her. It felt like a new beginning, but deep in her heart, she knew the journey ahead was far from simple. The weight of Blackwood Manor’s dark influence had followed her into the open air, even if she had walked away from it. The house no longer had a hold on her, but the remnants of its power, the fear it had instilled in her, still lingered. She glanced back at the looming mansion, the silhouette dark against the morning sky. She had walked away from its walls, from the shadows of its secrets, but something in her chest tugged at her. The house had tried to claim her, to break her, but in the process, it had left its mark. Could she truly leave it all behind? Could she really escape the grip of the place that had shaped her for so long? Bliss’s mind raced with questions, but her feet kept moving forward. She could
The Bride I Used to Be Chapter 45: The Last Stand
Bliss’s mind raced as she walked through the empty halls of Blackwood Manor. The words Damon had spoken still lingered in her thoughts. The house will take you. He had been so sure of it, so confident that she would break, that she would eventually return to the place that had once held her captive. But she wouldn’t. She refused to. She had made her choice. She had broken the mirror, defied Damon, and left the house behind. Yet, with each step she took, she felt the house’s presence tightening around her, as though the very walls were closing in. It was as if Blackwood Manor itself was alive, watching her every move. The house wanted her. She could feel it. But she had made her decision. She wouldn’t be claimed by it, no matter what it took. No matter how far the house reached, no matter how deep it burrowed into her, she would stand firm. She wasn’t just fighting to escape anymore. She was fighting for her soul, for her future. Bliss moved with purpose, her footsteps quiet as sh
The Bride I Used to Be Chapter 44: The Price of Freedom
The air in the room was thick with the sound of silence as the shards of the mirror lay scattered across the floor. Bliss stood there, breathless, her body still trembling from the force of the mirror’s shattering. The house had tried to take her, tried to break her spirit and trap her within its walls. But now, with the mirror destroyed, it felt as though the grip the house had on her was starting to loosen, just enough for her to breathe, to feel free. The pieces of glass reflected the dim light in fractured patterns, like the broken parts of her own past. For so long, she had been trapped in the house’s cycle, its twisting corridors and dark mirrors reflecting a life she never wanted. But now, that mirror was gone. It no longer had the power to trap her. But as the dust settled and the pieces of the shattered mirror lay scattered at her feet, Bliss couldn’t shake the feeling that the fight wasn’t over. The house may have lost its hold on her, but she wasn’t sure if she had truly

The path through the woods was quiet, but every step Bliss took felt louder than the last. The air around her was thick with anticipation, the shadows of the trees stretching long as the sun dipped lower. She had walked this path before, but now it felt different—less like a simple path to the village and more like the beginning of something she couldn’t yet understand. Bliss held the journal close, the pages filled with warnings and cryptic messages. The house cannot take you unless you let it. It had been the key to unlocking what she had been blind to—the truth. She hadn’t just been a prisoner of Damon; she had been a prisoner of Blackwood Manor itself. And to truly break free, she had to face the heart of the house. The center of its power. The trees around her rustled softly as the wind swept through them, the leaves dancing in the breeze. But the silence that clung to the air felt unnaturally heavy. As if the woods themselves were holding their breath, waiting for something t
The Bride I Used to Be Chapter 42: The Reckoning
Bliss could feel the weight of the house pressing against her with every step she took. It wasn’t just the silence that filled the air or the darkness that seemed to linger in every corner. There was something more, something that pulled at her from the inside. It wasn’t enough to escape the physical boundaries of Blackwood Manor; she could feel the house in her very bones, its presence wrapping itself around her, whispering its demands. She had left, and yet, the house was still with her. The words of Sebastian Blackwood rang in her ears, his warning echoing like a distant drumbeat. The house doesn’t let go that easily. He had been right in some ways. No matter how far she walked, no matter how many miles she put between herself and Blackwood Manor, it was as though the house had embedded itself inside her. She couldn’t escape it. Bliss stopped walking, her heart heavy as she looked around at the quiet village. The path leading from the manor seemed long, but it was the stillness
The Bride I Used to Be Chapter 41: The Devil’s Bargain
Bliss’s heart raced as she stared at Sebastian Blackwood, the weight of his words sinking deep into her bones. His calm demeanor, his knowing smile, it all felt too much like Damon. Yet, there was something different about him, something hidden beneath the surface. He was connected to the house, to the very power that had tried to trap her, but there was a part of her that wondered if he could truly help her. She stood still, her mind swirling with uncertainty. The fear of making the wrong choice, of trusting the wrong person, gnawed at her. She had already put herself in too many dangerous situations, had already been manipulated by Damon for far too long. Could she trust this stranger, this man who shared Damon’s blood? “I don’t want your help,” Bliss said, her voice firm, though the unease in her chest refused to leave. “I’ve already broken free. I don’t need anyone to show me the way.” Sebastian’s smile deepened, but there was no warmth in it. “You think you’ve broken free, B
