Unintended Bride Fourteen
Liam's POV The conference room filled fast. The presenter clicked through slides, showing charts and figures. My mind drifted to Nina in the kitchen—her smile over the pie, the way her cheeks looked when she laughed a little. She wasn't like Anya, not flashy or bold in the same way, but that smile did something to my chest. I wanted to see it again.Everyone stared at me. I leaned forward, hand on the table, face set to cold and hard. "And the profits?"The presenter jumped back in. "Profits would increase by 300% with the new market value, sir."I scanned the room, flipped through the file. It looked solid. "Good. We'll set the project in motion. Clarence you'll be team leader. I expect a fast and accurate result by the end of the month."Faces lit up around the table. "You're dismissed."They filed out. I checked my watch. Five hours until the ball. Gideon took notes nearby."Gideon.""Yes, sir.""Cancel my remaining schedule for the day. We're going out."In the car I rubbed my pa
Unintended Bride Thirteen
Liam's POVI turned back toward the door, hand hovering near the handle. My heart pounded hard. I shook my head. "It's her fault. She was never meant to be here."The words sat heavy. They made it worse. I grabbed the handle, pulled the door open fast. No one there. The spot where she stood looked empty. Guilt hit me square in the chest. I wanted to go after her, call her name. Then Frank appeared on the stairs, rubbing his eyes.I started to turn back into my room but stopped. "Frank."He walked over. His voice came out cold. "Do you need me?""Nina…how is she?"Frank raised one eyebrow and looked at me like I had lost my mind. He took his time. "How am I supposed to know that? I'm the butler.""But you're with her every second…""I don't follow her every second if that's what you're thinking. She has her womanly stuff to do and I take care of what I need to. Anything else, boss?""Frank. You don't have to call me boss," I said quietly.His eyes showed clear disappointment. "I have t
Unintended Bride Twelve
Liam's POVI shoved the door to my room open and stepped inside, my blood still boiling. The whole day had gone to shit after I saw Nina limp back into the house with those shopping bags. Who did she think she was, sneaking out without a word? I yanked my tie loose and threw it on the floor. My suit jacket came next. I pulled my shirt over my head and tossed it onto the chair by the window. The fabric landed in a heap. Why couldn't she just stay put? I ran a hand through my hair and paced to the closet. This marriage was supposed to be simple on paper. Endure it for a year, then done. But she kept pushing buttons I didn't even know I had. I stripped off the rest of my clothes and grabbed my bathroom robe, tying it around my waist. The shower would clear my head. I headed for the bathroom door when it swung open behind me.Anya walked in, hips swaying in that tight dress she liked. I didn't turn around. "What do you want, Anya?""That's no way to talk to your girlfriend." Her voice c
Unintended Bride Eleven
Nina's POV The doorbell rang later. Frank opened it. I stood next to him. Frida burst through with both arms raised high and ran straight at me. “Hi, girlie. I missed you! I was thinking you wouldn’t call even though it was so soon after your wedding but it was worth it.”“I missed you too.” I wrapped my arms around her and held on.She pulled back fast, eyes bright. “I want to know everything. Does he treat you right? I saw the pictures and I hate that bitch you call a sister. Doesn’t she know when to let go? But that’s not my concern.” She drew in a quick breath. “So, how was it? The honeymoon.”My face dropped. Frida saw it right away. “Never mind. He’s an idiot. Besides, it was shotgun bullshit. You’re still a wife. And I’m here to make your day fun.” She grabbed my wrist and pulled me toward the door.Frank waved his hands trying to slow us. Pain shot through my ankle when she tugged. Frida stopped suddenly. She looked down at the cast. “What the hell happened to you?”I glanced
Unintended Bride Ten
Nina's POV My head hit the floor. The room blurred. Loud ringing filled my ears. When the blur cleared Anya dragged me upward by the arm. The second my left foot touched down, and an instant pain tore through it. I bent forward.“Stop your foolish whining and go make me some food or God help you Liam’s going to hear of it and you’ll be sorry.”Fast footsteps came down the hall. Liam’s voice cut in sharp from outside. “What’s going on there?”Anya’s eyes widened, and she smirked wickedly. She snatched a vase from the side table, raised it high, and brought it down hard on her own head. She dropped to the floor and started crying loudly. “Why would you do that to me?”I stared at her with my mouth open. The door flew open. Liam rushed inside and knelt beside her right away.“You monster. What did you do to her?” His voice filled every corner.I shook my head back and forth fast. “I didn’t. I swear. It wasn’t me…”“Not you? I let you go the last time because I was hoping it wouldn’t rep
Unintended Bride Nine
Nina’s POV They hadn't noticed me. Their mouths moved together, kissing. My stomach tightened. Oh no. Please, God. No. Liam lifted his head. His cold blue eyes cut straight to me. Fear struck into me and I shook, my hands tightening around the broom. His words were sharp. “Did I give you permission to enter?”“I… I’m sorry. No one answered so… I didn’t think anyone was in. And…”“Get out!” His voice filled the whole room and bounced off the walls.I tried once more. “I wanted to c… clean.”“I know you’re slow but not retarded. Leave before I lose it.”I turned on my heel and rushed out. The broom handle shook in my grip. My chest rose and fell fast. I moved down the hallway, feet quick on the floor. My lips moved without sound. “It’s fine. You’ll be okay. You’re just married on paper. Nothing to be hurt about. You knew this.”The words changed nothing. My lips started to shake. Water gathered at the corners of my eyes. I shook my head hard and hurried down the stairs.“Nina!”Liam
Unintended Bride Eight
Nina’s POV I stepped into my room and closed the door behind me. My fingers pulled at the apron strings until the knot came loose. The fabric slipped from my waist. I let it fall onto the chair near the window. It landed in a wrinkled pile. I stared at the empty space around me for several seconds
Unintended Bride Seven
Nina's POV The tears were burning my eyes, but I wasn't crying in front of her. "Leave now, Anya.""Or what?" Closer now, and her words cut like a knife. "Gonna cry to Daddy? Sorry, sweetie, he doesn’t give a damn. And Mom? She never did either. Go ahead, get Nina. I was always his top choice. He
Unintended Bride Six
Nina's POVThe world fell apart when Anya smirked. Her words rang louder in my ear and she flicked her right index finger like a dark sorceress causing her enemies. “I've always hated sharing my stuff, Nina.” She drew closer, leaned in and whispered in my ear. “Don't think for a second that I'll le
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
