Unintended Bride Fifty Six
Liam’s POVIt was three o'clock in the morning. The ceiling hadn't changed in four years, but I continued to stare at it as if it would suddenly provide me with the answers I needed.I couldn't sleep. I hadn't been sleeping properly for weeks but this week was worse. The anniversary. Four years since the wedding that wasn't supposed to take place. Four years since I'd stood at an altar and married the wrong sister and somehow, miraculously, married the right one without realizing it until she was gone.I got out of bed and put my feet on the floor. The penthouse was quiet. Gideon had left hours ago after I snapped at him for the third time about some report that didn't even matter. He'd taken it like he always did — quietly, professionally, with that look in his eyes that suggested he was worried about me but understood that he shouldn't voice his concerns aloud.The doctor had warned me about the stress. About sleep deprivation. About the nosebleeds and the headaches and the hallucin
Unintended Bride Fifty Five
Anya’s POVMy throat was dry from all the grunts and moans. I kept calm until I was sure I had enough strength to rise. I said up, pulling the sheets over my chest and searched the room with my eyes. It hasn't hurt like I had thought it would. I must have forgotten to stop trying to be Nina to understand I wasn't her. It was never possible. Her persona was too hard to copy and I didn't get how I felt I was her in the sense of her calmness. My hair was a mess. My makeup was ruined. And every muscle in my body felt like jelly.He was standing by the table, fully dressed now, fixing his last button before he reached for the table, picking up a long dark tie. His tie was in his hands and he was tying it neatly around his neck with practiced efficiency. The knot came together. He straightened it out.From his jacket pocket he took out a checkbook. His pen scratched against the paper. Then he ripped the check out of the book and placed it on the table."That's for tonight," he said. "Cla
Unintended Bride Fifty Four
Anya’s POVI raised my head. His expression was impossible to read but his hand rose again and now he grabbed my breast and his thumb touched my nipple. Once, twice. Sound escaped from me before I could prevent it. It was something between gasp and whimper.His lips curved. Almost imperceptibly. "You like it."I remained silent. Couldn't say anything. The thumbs of his hand made slow circles sending shivers down my spine and between my legs. My hips moved involuntarily and he noticed. Obviously."Take off the rest."I hooked my fingers under the waistband of my panties and pushed them down. I stepped out of them and kicked them aside with the heel that was still strapped to my foot. Now I was naked in front of a stranger in the private room in the club where I've never been before and in some part of my mind I knew that I should be ashamed but it was not shame that made my pulse beat fiercely in my throat.He returned to his place on the leather seat. He spread his knees wide. "Sit o
Unintended Bride Fifty Three
Anya’s POVI did not know how much money to offer. My mouth hung open. The man kept his green eyes fixed on me as if he had all the time in the world."Five thousand," I finally blurted. As soon as those words escaped my lips, I knew they sounded insane. Had I offered too little? Too much?He did not laugh. Not even blink. Just reached for the glass sitting on the table and took a sip of the amber liquid inside. The ice cubes tinkled. The music of the club beat on the walls, but here, in this booth, it seemed like we were sealed off from the rest of the world."Five thousand," he repeated. Testing the words. His voice was deep and rough, like gravel covered with silk. "That is how much you think you are worth?"Heat rose to my cheeks. I grasped the edge of the chair, my fingers sinking into the velvet. "I do not know what the rate is.""Obviously." He put the glass down. The watch on his wrist gleamed in the dim light. "Stand up."I did. My legs were not my own anymore."Turn around."
Unintended Bride Fifty Two
Anya’s POVI ran until my lungs were burning and my legs were ready to fall off. The night air was cutting my throat. The street lights were all blurry around me. The horns were blaring somewhere behind me. I didn’t stop until I saw the steps of the building. My key was stuck, twisted, turned. I pushed the door open, closed it, leaned my forehead against the thin wood.Ragged breathing after ragged breathing ripped from my mouth. My chest rose and fell. The sweat was cold on my neck. The white shirt was sticking to my skin. The black pants were too tight, too normal, too like the girl who had just lost her last reliable source of money.I threw the purse. It landed on the mattress and slid.The phone started ringing almost immediately.I grabbed it, still trembling. There was a bold unknown number on the screen of my phone. I hesitated for a second. And then I answered.“Anya Beckett,” said the manager’s voice. “You walk out in the middle of service after destroying a tray of expensiv
Unintended Bride Fifty One
Anya’s POVI stood in the middle of the one-room place and looked around. The walls were stained. The mattress on the floor had a yellow mark near the pillow. The sink dripped every few seconds. Outside the single window was a brick wall so close I could almost touch it. This was what was left. Everything I used to have was gone. The cars. The clothes. The house. Liam’s gates stayed closed no matter how many times I went there.My phone rang. I rolled my eyes and ended the call. It rang again. I ended it again. The third time the hospital name showed up. I answered with a sharp tone. “What?” Dad’s voice came through weak and full of blame. “You left me here. You haven’t come to see me in weeks. Do I have to remind you that I am your father? I deserve the ultimate respect and care. This is your fault. If you had kept Liam and not tried to ruin your sister, none of this would have happened.” I fumed. He was pissing me off. “Dad. I'm trying.”He kept talking like he was spotless
Unintended Bride Five
Nina’s POV"No! Absolutely not!" I screamed as I stood up so fast I almost fell. "You can't do this! I won't marry him like this!""Shut your mouth, Nina!" my father roared, his face twisting into a look of pure hatred."Liam, say something!" Anya wailed, leaping from the sofa with her face red and
Unintended Bride Four
Nina’s POVThe loud scream seemed to snap away the fog in my brain as I scrambled off the bed in panic. I got up so quickly, I stumbled and almost fell face flat on the bed, but I barely caught myself to see I was still wearing the dress from last night.Liam however, was completely naked as I drag
Unintended Bride Three
Nina's POV Liam’s grip on my upper arms was unyielding as my small world spiraled out of control because of how close we were standing."Nina?" he breathed deeply. He looked just as startled as I was as his deep blue eyes scanned my face, which I knew was all red and puffy from all the crying, cou
Unintended Bride Two
Nina's POVWanna escape?" Frida’s question didn’t even land before I quickly accepted."Yes," I breathed, the word rushing out of me as my mood felt better instantly. "Yes, Frida, get me out of here.""I am shifting the car into drive so slip out through the side terrace by the gardens. The guards
