The Bride's Revenge, The Heir's Escape Chapter Twenty-One: The Mother's Grip, The Lover's Choice
The air in the garage was thick with tension. Missus Hamilton had just finished speaking, her voice still echoing in the cold space. Liam clenched his fists, his jaw tight with frustration. Then he spoke, each word rolling out with determination."I don't think Ava is beneath me. I think she's great. She's not as unworthy as you claim," he said, his voice firm and filled with conviction.He turned fully to face his mother, his eyes sharp and unwavering. "Besides, I'm the one who is marrying her. I'm the one who is going to spend the rest of my life with her," he added, refusing to let her control the situation.His emotions were boiling over now. The pain, the pressure, the constant manipulation, it all burst forth."God, you always try to control everything and make all these decisions for me," he shouted. "This time, I won't listen to you."The garage fell into silence. His mother stood still, not saying a word. Her expression was unreadable, but her silence spoke volumes.Liam tu

A heavy cloud of tension filled the air as Ava stood in front of Noah. Her eyes were clear, determined, and filled with the weight of every decision she had made up to this point. She had reached her limit."We don't belong together," she said, her voice firm and resolute, like she had practiced the line a thousand times in her head.Noah looked at her, his face creasing with confusion and desperation. "What about Liam?" he asked, searching her eyes for any sign of doubt, any hesitation.Ava stood her ground. "It's the same thing," she said calmly, yet her tone carried a finality that was hard to ignore. "The Smiths and the Hamilton's are not for me. I just want to be a free bird, not a caged canary," she added, her words soft but layered with deep longing. She meant every syllable.Suddenly, Noah wheeled closer and held her hands, gripping her like he was afraid she'd vanish if he let go. "Can't we just go back to how things were?" he pleaded, his voice shaking slightly. "Please
The Bride's Revenge, The Heir's Escape Chapter Nineteen: Shattered Expectations
The air was heavy with tension, thick like a storm about to break. Ava's hands trembled slightly, her chest rising and falling as she fought the whirlwind of emotions surging inside her."You're right," she said finally, her voice cracking with pain. Her eyes glistened with unshed tears. "I didn't want it. I'm not worthy of your family." The bitterness in her tone could slice through steel. Her voice shook, but her gaze was steady, wounded but strong.Her heart pounded as she took a step back, breathing heavily. "I'm leaving!" she shouted, her voice filled with anger and heartbreak. It wasn't just frustration anymore, it was deep pain mixed with the feeling of betrayal. Her emotions boiled over, no longer containable.As she turned to walk away, Liam suddenly reached out, grabbing her wrist with trembling fingers. His grip was firm, but not forceful, more like a desperate attempt to hold on to something slipping through his hands."What would I do if you leave?" he asked, his voice
The Bride's Revenge, The Heir's Escape Chapter Eighteen: The Birthday Bombshell
The room was quiet, uncomfortably quiet. You could hear a pin drop as tension danced in the air. Just then, Mister Warner finally broke the silence, his voice hesitant but steady enough to carry weight."Ehm, Missus Hamilton's birthday celebration is next week at the Hamilton Hotel," he said, extending his hand and passing a sleek, gold-trimmed invitation to Ava.His eyes didn't leave her face as he added with a tone that carried something more than just duty, "And this… is your invitation."Ava blinked in surprise, her hand reaching out slowly. Her fingertips brushed against his as she took the invitation, and for a second, it felt like time paused. Her heartbeat quickened. Was this real?"I was just asked to give it to you," Mister Warner quickly clarified, pulling his hand back. His voice was neutral now, but his eyes held a tinge of regret.As soon as he said those words, Ava's mind lit up with racing thoughts. She stared at the invitation, hope flickering in her chest like a matc
The Bride's Revenge, The Heir's Escape Chapter Seventeen: The Invitation Trap
Liam sat on the cold tiled floor, his back against the wall, his head slumped forward in defeat. His hands were trembling slightly, his mind running in circles. Each passing minute in that room felt like hours. He felt like a prisoner, trapped not just by the four walls around him, but also by his mother's will and the chaos of everything happening outside. His chest was tight with anxiety, and his breath came in shallow bursts.Suddenly, a faint sound cut through the silence. Footsteps.Liam's head snapped up, his heartbeat quickening. The footsteps grew louder, closer, until they stopped right outside his door. Hope lit up in his eyes like a spark in the darkness."Boss," came a soft voice, muffled but familiar. "Liam, are you in there?"Liam's eyes widened in recognition. It was James. Relief washed over him like a warm tide."James!" Liam rushed to his feet, almost stumbling as he hurried to the door. His palms smacked against the wood. "James, open the door, hurry!"He twisted
The Bride's Revenge, The Heir's Escape Chapter Sixteen: The Price of Love
The tension in the air was thick, so thick that even a knife wouldn't cut through it. Ava stood in the middle of the room, calm on the outside but fuming inside. She wasn't going to let anyone—least of all Mrs. Hamilton bully her into leaving the man she loved."Is that really what Liam wants?" Ava asked, her voice steady and her smile firm, even though the confrontation was starting to sting deep in her chest."Does it make a difference?" Mrs. Hamilton's voice was cold, sharp like broken glass. Her gaze bore into Ava with judgment and superiority.Ava didn't flinch. "I mean, if that's what he wishes, then I'll do it," she said evenly. "But if that's not the case, then you don't really have the right to interfere."That struck a nerve. Mrs. Hamilton's face turned beet red with rage. She bolted up from her seat like she'd been stung."How dare you talk to me that way?" she snapped, her voice filled with venom."You're just after the money, aren't you?" she accused, narrowing her eyes
