Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Heir's Bride: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

CHAPTER 1LUKEI grip the file tightly as I feel the anxiety eating me out, slowly I feel the gravity pulling us down and-"Mr. Stevens, are you alright?""I am," The words came out from my tight jaw as I tried to ease up my nervous stance. The feeling of bile rising up my throat is almost impossible for me to control. I hope, I can hold it for another five minutes. "I'm perfectly, fine. Thank you." I answer back at her with a smile, trying to resist the urge to gag. She nods back at me in understanding and I watch her took her place back on the front as she announce our landing."All passengers, please be informed that in any minute now, we would be taxiing down the airport. Fasten your seatbelt and just relax." She smiles at me and wink.Oh, gals.I was almost ready to throw up when there's sudden change. The plane started to shake vigorously as it prepared to land down. I can feel its wheels scrape as it rolled unto the port.Then, all movement stopped. I can hear mutterings all

CHAPTER 3 LUKEI stared at the king as he lean back on the table, his teeth glistening as he continues to smile at me. "Son, you're just in time." I dismiss the idea on my head of just pushing this king down the stairs . Instead, I gave him a curt nod, "Just in time for what exactly, Grandpa?" I emphasize the words as I took a seat beside the counter. "We're heading off to France tonight," He pressed a button on his chair and I watch as it whizzed nearer, "We'll have the ball tomorrow at Paris. I've sent off the invitations to the other royalties and known people Tomorrow will be the official day that you will be presented as the crown prince. In addition to that, you will choose your bride during the party seeing as you didn't have any girlfriend or lover..." I groan internally as I listen to his speech. In a matter of minutes, I was already dismissed and was sent back to my room. Indeed, I have my own room inside the so called 'castle'. I do not know why it mattered to them so m

CHAPTER 5NEOLALanding in Seattle at eve is just beautiful. I turn my gaze back to the wonderful boy on my arms and his crazy mother on my side as the car rolled down the streets. Taylor was the one who collected us from the airport which surprises me because I know that my brother has been dying to be with his family. That chimp, I wonder what he is cooking?"Don't you think he was fooling with me? I mean, Hey! We are moving to this goddamn place somewhere in the outskirts of the city where possibly, no neighbors would even help me if your brother tried to kill me!" Taylor smirkec at us from the rear mirror and averted his eyes quickly as Jacob pointed around."He won't kill you," I muttered, running my hands in Jacob's curls, "you're just acting so crazy...""Me? Crazy? I don't even know this place where we are moving in!""It's in Seattle"" 'It's in Seattle'" She quoted, rolling her eyes at me before saying, "I am aware of that. Isn't it that I am the one who bought our tickets?

CHAPTER 7NEOLAHe was here. Flesh and bone in front of me. I watch his eyebrows turn slightly upward before he tighten his grip on my shoulder, steadying me."Lou? Is that you?" He slid his hands down my shoulder and I felt a shudder down my spine. My mind had to take a couple of seconds more to believe the fact that he is here right in front of me. "What are you doing here in Seattle? Are you---?" I shrug. A rather wrong move I did because that made the ring on my finger catch a little bit of the suns rays- which blow my cover.Oh, damn. His eyes trailed up from my finger to my face. I could almost see his brain processing it all-the night we spent together at his engagement party and the happenings after that-retrieving every memory he could get from his blurry ones.In an instant, I was pulled away from the alley and down to a narrow street. His grip on my wrist makes it impossible for me to move but I still tried to break away from it. After a couple of tug from him, I felt him

CHAPTER 9LUKE*dream*It was dark and cold. "Hello?"My voice echoed around me as I struggle to stand straight. And suddenly, I was filled with confusion as I felt pain on the side of my stomach."Where am I?" I didn't have the time to hear the echo of my voice as I found myself staring at myself and is that--?"Neo?" My words echoed again to myself as I look at her wide blue eyes that have taken me away the moment I met her at the hospital five years ago. "It was you? I knew it!" I tried to back away from the image only to find myself getting dizzy as the world around me blurred. I can see Neola and me looking at baby Jacob as he sleeps. Those nights we spent together at the hospital, drinking our coffee is all that I could keep as good memories. But the rejection and hurt I felt when I left is unbearable. I was about to touch Neola's face but when I opened my eyes, I saw my father looking at me, his hands holding my mother's hand as I felt myself sinking on the water. "Pa? Ma?
