The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury ย ย ย Caught
A reconciliation dinner, Ciara thought to herself. She could not shake off Rubyโs invitation. It was the first time she had heard Ruby sound so genuinely nice and polite.Ciara swallowed the rest of the food in her mouth, dropped the food, and got up. โWhy?โ Ciara could not help but ask.โLike I said, dear, my husband and I had a long talk about you, and we realized how horrible we have been to you. You did not deserve any of it. We are sorry, and we would like a chance to rebuild a better relationship with you,โ Ruby said. She sounded as though she was at the verge of tears to Ciara.Something was definitely going on, because even when Ruby forcefully took Ciara away from her mother, she had not been the least remorseful about it. โPlease, do not say no to us,โ Ruby pleaded.Tears gathered in Ciaraโs eyes. For years, especially after she was separated from her mother, all thanks to Ruby, she had yearned for the love that a family gave. Even growing up, she had loved the idea of a fu

Samuel stopped kissing Linda who became weak in the knees. โWe should do this more often,โ she purred and reached out for Samuelโs hands.But Samuel stared down at her with an unreadable expression. He allowed Linda to hold him, and in return, squeezed hers. โYou came unexpectedly. WeโฆI wasnโt expecting you,โ Linda said as she stretched her neck towards the gate.There was a feeling of agitation about her, and Samuel was sensitive enough to notice. โAre you expecting someone else?โ Samuel asked as he also turned to look at the gate.โUm, no, not at all. I am just surprised to see that you came to see me, and the kiss, of course,โ Linda said with excitement mixed with apprehension. โHow is the baby?โ Samuel asked.โWhat baby?โ For a minute, Linda was confused, but she was quick to pick herself up. โOh, yeah, about that, I am doing just fine. Do you mind coming in?โ Linda asked trying to patronize Samuel.โNo, I would like to take my leave now,โ Samuel said and before Linda could try

Samuel knew now that Linda was not the woman he spent almost the entire night with. Aside speaking with Jess and getting an eye-opener about it, his test proved everything. There was no feeling at all. There were no signs that Linda was the woman.Samuel clearly remembered that that night, as he had gone close to the woman, there had been something he had felt; something that he still hadnโt been able to put into words. โAre you a dying man?โ she had whispered to him.Recalling the sound of her voice now, it sounded nothing like Linda Luscious. โWhy hadnโt I thought of this from the outset?โ Samuel berated himself.He felt like a complete mess.โDonโt ask me silly questions,โ Samuel had barked at her, thinking she was the call girl that had been arranged for him.โI am sorry, I just wanted to know,โ she had said.Although it had been dark, Samuel had known that she had tears in her eyes. All the few times Samuel had spent in the presence of Linda, she never came off as someone who wo

Ciara was glad that she came out when she did otherwise Kingston might have ratted her out. She was not even so sure that he still wouldnโt do so, but then again, she would have to do something about it. โWhat is it?โ Samuel asked immediately they climbed up the stairs. โIs something wrong with my mother?โ he asked gruffly. His tone had some form of suspicion to it, but Ciara had her own grievances as well.Her face was as straight as a ruler when she responded. โYour mother is fine,โ she said icily. Ciara had been unable to shake off what she saw, which had basically ruined her chances of not only a reconciliation, but also getting to know what happened to her mother in full details.โShouldnโt you be with her right now? Your duty is to be by her side all day long, Ciara. Have you forgotten that so soon?โ Samuel queried. โAnd I have been doing my job just fine, Samuel,โ Ciara answered confidently, staring up at Samuel.Samuel looked taken aback. He could not understand the reason f

Samuel felt the sting of Ciaraโs palm on his cheeks, but what even stung him more was the sound of her voice as she called him a monster.โHow dare you?!โ Ciara yelled as tears gathered in her eyes. โIs this your latest means of manipulation?โ Ciara asked Samuel, looking right into his eyes.The anger and hurt in Ciaraโs eyes were so glaring that Samuel did not need to look deeply before seeing it.โI am not a manipulator,โ Samuel said calmly.There had been several occasions where being close to Ciara or even grabbing her had taken his mind back to that unfortunate night. Something about her just seemed to remind him so much about that night, unlike it was with Linda. Samuel had lived in regret after that night, and that was why he had refused to talk about it with anyone. By morning when he woke up, he discovered that she had already left; he did not even get to see her face, just to know who it was that he had spent an arranged night with, and few weeks later, Colt came to him and

โIt has been over two hours and she is yet to arrive,โ Ruby Luscious said as she paced about the living room. Something did not feel right.โAre you sure you convinced her enough?โ Colt asked, equally confused.โI did, and she promised that she would come. We all know that Ciara is not someone to just say something like that and not mean it. She wants to belong to a family so badly, and to her, this was her chance,โ Ruby answered.โAnd it was our chance to get things sorted out once and for all,โ Colt said as his eyes went to the fully set dining table and the bottle of wine on it. Every damn thing had been set, and all they needed was for Ciara to show up, because Colt kept having the nagging feeling that if Ciara wasnโt handled, she could spoil everything for them. From the moment he heard that she traveled to her hometown and was digging up the past, he knew that she would be so much trouble for them.Meanwhile, Linda could not stop thinking about Samuelโs abrupt and brief appearan

Ciara stayed by Aunt Mary and cried painfully. Contrary to the agreement to always leave the door open, she shut it, so that no one would barge in on her. Ciara needed this moment to herself, and she knew that she also needed to be beside Aunt Mary.โEverything in my life is falling into shambles, Aunt Mary,โ Ciara cried.She remembered that she told herself that she wouldnโt do any of the crying thing in the presence of Aunt Mary; she only required happy moments and talks filled with light and hope so that she could get better, but right now, Ciara felt like this was the only thing she could do. She needed to unburden everything, and she knew that the only person that she could do that with that would not judge her or throw stones at her was Aunt Mary. This was exactly why she needed to visit her motherโs grave so that she could unburden herself, but her search for her mother had only made everything worse than she had ever anticipated.โI feel like each day, something is always tryi

Linda dialed the number Rudger attached with the note several times, but it wasnโt connecting, and it felt as though she was going crazy. โWhy did we fire him again?โ Ruby asked as she rubbed her palms together; it was her way of dealing with anxiety.โAfter the incident, he just became nonchalant about his duties and he had to go,โ Linda explained. She had instigated the whole idea of firing Rudge, because his negligence and nonchalance became overbearing; more like he kept acting as though he had an edge over Linda, simply because he was the bodyguard that aided her in carrying out the act.โWas firing him the best option?โ Colt asked, beads of sweat forming around the bridge of his nose.โAt that time, yes, and besides, he was handsomely paid off,โ Linda said defensively. She remembered spending virtually all her savings just to lay him off with the promise that what happened never happened, and no one was ever going to know about it.โYou cannot pay off a blackmailer completely!โ

The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury ย ย ย Just Blissful
Ciara heard a knock on the door and she went to open it without an iota of fear or dread; all her enemies have been put behind bars.Ciara got discharged from the hospital two days ago, and she was yet to make that call to Samuel Fury that she had wanted to make, because she was still dazed about the revelation.โThe world is truly a small place,โ Ciara had said to herself, breathlessly.Who would have thought that Samuelโs son would be birthed by the same doctor? Heck, who would have thought that the mysterious man that Ciara had spent that night with was Samuel Fury? Ciara trembled at the thought of telling Samuel that her son was his, because she fully believed the doctor even though she was yet to see Samuelโs left thigh, and that was primarily because they hadnโt been really intimate.Ciara almost passed out when she opened the door and found Samuel Fury standing before her. They stared deeply into each otherโs eyes for a couple of minutes without saying anything, and Ciara could
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury ย ย ย The Birthmark
It had been several months now, and Ciara was glad that she hadnโt been found, because deep down, she knew that Samuel Fury would be looking all over the country for her. Her bump was big now, and the doctor she had begun seeing already told her that she would be due any moment from now. Ciara wanted Samuel to find her, desperately for that matter, but she knew that if she let Samuel find her without closing this chapter of her life, she would never be complete.Ciara was free now, and she knew this because she was lucky to be present at a coffee shop when Colt and Rubyโs court verdict was read. She wondered why Linda Luscious wasnโt also in the stand, but Ciara pushed that out of her mind.Her only goal and desire right now, before she had her baby, was to see her motherโs grave.โCoffee, as usual?โ The coffee server asked Ciara.He was an elderly man who seemed to have seen better years, Ciara almost felt pity for the man, but then again, he seemed to be doing what he loved.โYes,

โMr. and Mrs. Luscious, you are both under arrest,โ the cops rounded up Ruby and Colt in their home a few days later.โWe did nothing wrong!โ Colt tried to play defensive, but it was already over for them.โMartin and Hayes have testified against you, Mr. Luscious,โ one of the cops informed Ruby and Colt.โWhat about our daughter, Linda?โ Ruby asked.โMr. Samuel Fury decided not to charge her, but the both of you must answer for your grievous crimes,โ the cop told them.Colt and Ruby hung their heads in shame and sadness as the cops handcuffed them and took them away.A month later, Samuel sat in the courtroom, waiting for the judge to pass her verdict on Colt and Ruby. They looked devastated, but Samuel was not moved. As he sat there, he felt relieved that he would be getting the justice he deserved, as well as Ciara Summers. Jess had tracked Hayes down when he was trying to run away, and had handed him over to the cops. A lot had happened since Ciara walked away and never returned,
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury ย ย ย What Truly Happened
โIt happened two years agoโฆโ Linda began as her mind drifted back to that day years ago.Linda was involved with a perverted old man. This was all because of how reckless she had been living.โWhy don't you show me some love toots?โ The old man crossed the line, touching her in ways that were unacceptable.โStop it...โ She did her best to resist the manโs grip and the two engaged in a struggle. Eventually, Linda drove her stiletto heel into his skull. The man plopped to the floor completely lifeless.Lindaโs heart pounded as she stared at the lifeless body, โHeโs dead.โ Linda covered her mouth after realising that she had taken the old manโs life.โThink Linda, now is not the time to panic.โ She took a series of deep breaths to calm herself as she wiped off her fingerprints from the heel. โWhat do I do now?โ After a while, Linda called her mother.โMom...โ Her voice was shaky.โWhat is it?โ Her mother asked, a hint of worry was evident in her voice.Linda shared her current predica

Ciara waited patiently for Rudge to show up in the location that he sent to her. She was not agitated. She was not afraid. She just wanted to be fully and completely free. When it would happen, she would no longer live her life in bondage, or under the mercy of anyone, but she would know what happened that exact day, and she would be completely free, because Ciara knew that she did not kill that man. Ciara was not even capable of murder, and what happened with Loriโs baby had been a huge mistake. Ciara hadnโt thought of it before now, but she was certain now that Linda and her parents framed her and caused her to spend time in prison for a crime that she did not commit. She wouldnโt be surprised, because several times, aside from the incident that happened on Lindaโs twentieth birthday party, there had been other cases that Linda had lied on Ciara, and Ciara had taken the fall for Lindaโs recklessness.The only problem was that Ciara did not know exactly what happened.Once Rudge tel

Ciara was still shaken from the whole episode that happened at the cabin. She had been dazed for hours now, unable to react at all. Martin had meant to kill her. He would have driven the sharp knife into her stomach, and then, he would have killed not just her, but also her baby. Martin hadnโt called her to confess a thing to her. Instead, he had tricked her into coming just so that he could avenge the death of Lori and their baby.Suddenly, instinctively, abruptly, Ciara got out of her shock. She looked around frantically; she was back at the penthouse. Ciara jumped up as though the couch she sat on had caught fire.โHow did I get back here?!โ Ciara asked no one in particular, because she was alone in the living room. โSamuel?โ She called out, but no response.She continued to turn around frantically until Jess arrived from the kitchen, carrying a glass of warm water.โWho are you and how did you get in here?โ Ciara asked Jess as though she was about to launch an attack on her.โDon

โMiss Luscious, this is not a risk I would advise you to take,โ the doctor said to Linda.It was still morning, and Linda had left the house without her parentโs knowledge, but she knew that she had to do what needed to be done. Linda was still angry with her parents, especially with everything that was unfolding, and it was beginning to dawn on Linda the severity of the situation.โI have to do something,โ Linda had said to herself the night before, โBecause I cannot go down with my patients, because I wasnโt even there when they did most of what they did.โLinda had begun to make escape plans. For days now, she had been starving, although she usually sneaked into the kitchen, but it was usually almost futile, because she only met crumbs of canned food. Linda could not make coffee to save her life, because she had helps around the house for those things, but now that they were all gone, Linda could not recall the last time she had a proper meal.โI am too young to go down with my par

Ciara entered the cabin, and she was met with an eerie silence that threw her off balance. At first, she thought Martin had tricked her into coming to the cabin, because it looked and felt oddly deserted. โHello?โ Ciara called out calmly, not wanting to be too loud so that Samuel who was outside would not get the wrong signal.It was late and quiet, which meant that any noise at all was liable to travel far. โIs anyone home?โ Ciara asked, but she remained rooted in her spot.She could not bring herself to even check the other parts of the cabin to be sure that it was completely empty, because somehow, even though Ciara could not explain it, there was something dreadfully dangerous about the cabin. It did not feel like the cabin that hosted her some weeks ago.โIs anyone home?โ Ciara called out again, but she was met with absolute silence.Then her shoulders dropped in disappointment; Martin had tricked her into coming here. When would this ever end? Why did it always feel like Ciara

Jess slipped into the car beside Samuel, replacing Ciara, and Samuel jumped in fright.โJeez, you scared me!โ Samuel said after he was able to catch his breath.โWhat is the fear for? You have been in worse situations, Samuel Fury, so why are you jumpy?โ Jess asked and looked at Samuel, and she became more shocked when she saw that Samuel was visibly shaking and sweating. โDamn, Samuel, are you about to faint?โ Jess could not help but ask.Jess looked at Samuel, seeing him vulnerable and scared to his bones for the very first time since she had known him, and it dawned on her that Samuel was this way, because Theresa went to the cabin on her own, in danger. There was no other logical explanation to why Samuel was acting as though he was being faced with death.โOh, I see,โ Jess said with a grin.Samuel looked at her, confused. โWhen you grin like that, you are being mischievous, and now is honestly not the time for that,โ Samuel said, angry and irritated. โDonโt you read the room?
