Lahat ng Kabanata ng His Defiant Bride: Kabanata 91 - Kabanata 100

Lucian stood in the middle of the room staring at the dress Thea left pooled on the floor in a daze. His mind knew that Thea's words held a deeper meaning than whether this dress was easy to get out of or not. But his thought process was frozen in one repeated thought.Thea's eyes... They were so cold even when she was smiling. Since when did her eyes change like that? Her radiant bright eyes were his favorite part about her whenever she smiled. Why was she changing?Slowly walking to the dress, he knelt and picked it up. It was heavy and thick. perhaps mirroring the state of his heart. It was heavy and frozen in fear of what he knew was true but refused to admit.When Thea emerged from the room, she was wearing jeans and a hoodie."Are you going somewhere?" He asked feeling his heart clench when he realized that whatever was happening, Thea seemed to have already made up her mind."I'm not needed anymore, you got your marriage contract, I got my mother's charity back, and just for th

Lucian leaned back against the chair his head pounding and his neck aching. He somehow managed to fall asleep on the table after getting drunk of all the alcohol in the room. The alcohol he and Thea were supposed to enjoy together.Sighing, he stood up making his way into the bathroom and staring at the mirror. His eyes were bloodshot and had dark circles around them and his hair was a rat's nest. Such a pathetic appearance, he thought, one befitting someone like him.He was about to turn on the shower when persistent pounding started to penetrate through his door. Wondering who it was, a voice within him told him that it may be Thea coming to settle her score with him. She would be a welcome sigh, even while screaming and cursing him for deceiving her, he would welcome it more than the devastated look as her parting words slew him like sharpened swords.But his hope was dashed as soon as he opened his door to find himself looking at a frantic-looking Loyd as he stared at him."Where

As Lucian stood by the side of the corridor, he watched with satisfaction as the line of board members left the meeting room escorted by the police officers. Keith threw him a glare as he walked away, and as he did he could hear him demanding for his lawyer. Well, a lawyer would never be able to save him from embezzlement. Although Keith was his cousin from his father’s side, his father and mother had apparently long since died in a car accident which led him to be raised by their grandmother. Although they grew up together, Keith had always been hostile toward him for some reason, and Lucian didn’t really bother trying to find out why. He was a bit of an obnoxious guy back then too. Being someone who got everything he wanted and didn’t struggle in life overall gave him some bad qualities that he began to realize when he met Thea. And those bad qualities were probably what led him to this situation. Lucian reached for his phone dialing the number he had on top of his call history. T

“Your grandfather collapsed last night due to extreme stress. You need to head back to see him,” The woman said through the phone.Nadia felt her heart skip a beat before her anxiety completely surrounded her dumping her in the cold waters of uncertainty and fear. She knew this feeling. It was the same as when her parents died. The crippling fear that overcame her the moment she was faced with their certain death. And the grief that had all but destroyed her that day.“Thea! Hey! Thea!” Grace called out shaking her shoulders forcefully snapping her out of her thoughts.“What should I do…” She trailed off emotionlessly and Grace shook her once again.“You should go back home and be with your grandfather. He had been looking for you everywhere since you disappeared. I wouldn’t be surprised if he collapsed because he was worried about you…” Grace trailed off.“But…” Thea trailed off unsure whether to come back or not.“You have to give the man a chance, Thea. Otherwise, he will never be

Thea walked into the coffee shop looking around for her friend. She waved at her from across the room, and as she was walking toward her, she could see that she wasn't alone.Thea paused giving an exasperated sigh as she glared at the grinning, other person, who wasn't supposed to be there. Instead of looking guilty or even bothered, he smiled at her and lifted his cup in greeting.Thea looked at the door ready to walk outside, but the sight of the mint tea waiting for her on the table made her hesitate. Making a split-moment decision, she gave in to temptation and sat down reaching for the cup and inhaling the fresh herbal scent."Told you that the tea would be a good bait..." Peter said with a smirk and Pen sighed."Sorry. He insisted on coming as soon as he knew that we were meeting," She said.Thea took a sip from her tea and savored it completely ignoring the two."Well, she's not answering my calls and she's never in her office when I visit. If I go to her house, Lucian will pro
