Brianna’s POV

I watched his crestfallen face approach my bed with slow and deliberate steps. If not for the expression on his face, I would think he was walking toward an enraged animal.

“Adrian,” I croaked once more. “What are you hiding from me?”

His face crumpled as if my words struck straight to his heart. “My love,” he started, now by my bed, looming down on my frailty. “What do you mean? Why would I hide anything from you?”

“Adrian, please don’t lie to me. I..” my voice gave out and a

  • The Replaced Bride’s Fortune   Chapter 54

    Brianna’s POVThe walk down the hallway to my father’s study was painfully long. I could hear my heartbeat thudding fast through my ears.Now that I already knew that I had basically been lured here, I could only imagine what he had to say.Ezra walked ahead of me, leading me to the study. That was another telltale sign that this was a serious conversation. He rarely engaged me, never talked to me unless absolutely necessary. Once we got to the front doors of the study, I could feel the weight trailing behind me, holding me rooted in place. I didn’t want to go in.Ezra turned back, his hand hovering over the knob. “Bri, just don’t take whatever he says to heart, okay. Understands that he doesn’t mean any of it. It’s just…”I turned my gaze to his. “It’s just what?” I asked, confused by his tone.He sighed, “Never mind Bri. Just try to understand him okay. Don’t take any of it too hard.”If I was hesitant before, I definitely didn’t want to go in now. It was sold then, father was goin

  • The Replaced Bride’s Fortune   Chapter 53

    Adrian’s POV The doors opened to a very displeased Ezra. That fucker just grates on my nerves so bad. Something bout him just makes me tick. Maybe the way he looked at my wife once the door opened to her or the way I can see the slight softness in his gaze upon her.Something just wasn’t right.I returned his sharp gaze with a smirk. I could very well say that the feeling between us was mutual because he did not look happy to see me either. “What the fuck!” He growled, his face tightening the moment his eyes met mine. “What the fuck is he doing here? Weren’t you supposed to fetch her, alone.” He pointed in my direction, speaking to Elsa like I wasn’t even in the room.“Don’t ask me, ask your sister,” Elsa waved a dismissive hand toward Brianna. “And her possessive husband.”The way she said the word *sister* grated on my nerves. If I had my way, I’d ruin them just as they’d ruined Brianna.Brianna’s gaze was downturned. She had long pulled her hand from mine, fingers fidgeting nervo

  • The Replaced Bride’s Fortune   Chapter 52

    Adrian’s POVWe finally arrived at the Stewart house — the mansion big and dark. It lacked warmth, and it made me feel sorry for Brianna.Growing up here must have been quite dampening to her spirit.Elsa’s car moved ahead of us. I watched the guard’s attention shift to us before he nodded, letting her through and then us. Elsa’s taillights glowed red ahead of us, cutting through the gathering dusk.There was something so wrong and eerie about this place. The moment the wrought iron gates creaked shut behind us, I already felt trapped.That, was saying something. A lot in fact.I glanced over at Brianna in the passenger seat. Her hands were folded tightly in her lap, knuckles pale. She hadn’t said much since we left our house, and now her usual spark and spunk seemed dimmed, swallowed by the shadow of this place.“Are you okay, my love?” I asked softly, glancing in her direction. She wasn’t looking good to be honest. She was a bundle of nerves that could snap any moment. She gave a s

  • The Replaced Bride’s Fortune   Chapter 51

    Adrian’s POVBrianna took off in the direction of the staircase. She was going to get changed. Normally, I’d have followed. To bother her or to just stare at her as she changed— not that she would let me, but a man can dream. Right?But not today and not right now. I had other matters to tend to— and by other matters, I’m talking about Elsa who sat comfortably on my sofa. In my house.Her confidence surprised me, I won’t lie. Maybe her sister hadn’t narrated the story well enough. If not for the sole fact that I was trying to stay in my wife’s good graces, hell would have broken loose right here.It was a real shame that looks couldn’t kill, because with the glare I was drilling into the back of my head from my position, she’d already be pooled on the floor in her own blood.I still loathed the way she looked as my wife spoke to her. The slight indignation in her face, like she couldn’t be bothered to talk to her. I couldn’t help but notice the slight shift in energy from my wife’s

  • The Replaced Bride’s Fortune   Chapter 50

    Brianna’s POVSitting quite comfortably in the living room was Elsa. The very last person I thought would come here. I didn’t even know what to feel. It was almost like a dream.Elsa and I were never close. We didn’t speak, we didn’t argue— we just never spoke. She treated me like I never existed in the house and considering the sheer size of it and how well I’d made myself appear small, it was very easy for her to do so.That is why I never expected her to come here in search of me. Like, never. She didn’t even come to the wedding. So why now? Hope was a dangerous drug and I may have taken the wrong dose. Somewhere deep in my heart, I felt a strange sensation, likened to joy. It felt nice to see that she came here… for me.Maybe she did care after all. In her own little way. “Brianna,” she called once she turned at the sound of my footsteps approaching. She gave a curt nod to Adrian trailing after me. “Adrian.”“Hey, Elsa.” I greeted slowly, moving closer to where she sat on the

    Brianna’s POV "Wait, what?" Adrian cut me off, his voice dropping. "No. Why? Why did you ask that? Do you remember something?" Frustration flickered through my headache. "No, I am only asking because of the dream. I saw…. Wait. What is actually going on with this 'remembering' thing? Every single time, I'm always being asked if I remember something.” “Even Andy asks the same thing. What am I supposed to remember?” I added, growing agitated. “Am I missing something. I feel like I'm completely out of the loop here" I looked him dead in the eye. "Are you... are you hiding something from me, Adrian?" Adrian blinked, looking momentarily caught off guard. "What? No, no, I'm not. I'm not hiding anything from you, Bri." I wasn't entirely convinced, especially by his quick denial, but my head was aching too much to push it. I dismissed it with a sigh and continued explaining. "No, I just... it was a really vivid dream. It was a bit weird, but I think I saw you and Andy in your family home

    Emily’s POV“Wait, what?” he yelled. “Are you crazy?”I froze. Uh? He had never spoken to me like this before. I was caught completely off guard.“No… wait… baby, I’m sorry, I just—I can’t lose you, babe.” His voice softened again, desperation bleeding through. “What about me? Your father would kil

  • The Replaced Bride’s Fortune   Chapter 16

    Emily’s POVThe air in this awful room was damp and stinky. It made my already sour mood even worse. And as I sat here, held hostage by Adrian’s men, the only thought that comes to my mind is….*I shouldn’t have tried to run away.* I regret ever thinking I could leave in the first place.Father wa

  • The Replaced Bride’s Fortune   Chapter 14

    The gasps from the crowd sounded in a loud melody. I looked to find the owner of the very familiar voice, only to find it belonging to my sister— Emily. My eyes widened in shock as I took in the sight of Emily. At the far back of the field.Adrian gestures to Barrett at the corner of the field. I

  • The Replaced Bride’s Fortune   Chapter 13

    After the whole conversation ended, I retreated to my room with a new found confidence and settled heart. I had nothing to be afraid of. It was strange but I had a bit of closure. It wasn’t a mistake that I was here even though my father hadn’t planned it. Adrian had wanted me, not Emily and the
