Semua Bab The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury : Bab 21 - Bab 30

Linda arrived at the Fury’s mansion fully dressed with high heels, makeup and an expensive outfit. She ensured that she dressed her best, because she believed that the old lady would be impressed by Linda’s fashion sense and class. Linda knew and understood the minds of wealthy people and how they worked, and she knew that this would be one of the easiest ways to get through to her.Linda wasn’t a fan of the older people. In fact, they made her skin crawl, but she would do anything to win Samuel’s mother’s heart, because once the woman is able to declare her love and acceptance for Linda, Samuel would have no choice than to marry her finally, because somewhere inside Linda’s heart, she just had the feeling that something could happen that would make Samuel not marry her eventually. Granted, they did have a hold on him, but even that is not a strong hold, because everything might go wrong, and Linda could not afford it to.Linda was let into the mansion after she told their security th

“What baby were you talking about in your sleep?” Samuel demanded.Ciara did not see that coming. She hadn’t even thought that she had said anything when she was battling with the bad dream. It had felt so real and true that it scared the life out of her, and for the fact that Samuel did not ask her any questions after he woke her up made her believe that she had dreamt silently. Now she understood why he had been giving her some weird and suspicious looks since then.“Answer me!” Samuel tried not to scream. They were still in Aunt Mary’s ward, and he wouldn’t want to wake her up. Samuel moved closer to her in a menacing manner again, making Ciara shiver a little. She was still trying to get a hold of herself, as everything that is happening seems to be happening really fast and she was yet to get a grip of herself. “You like to evade questions, don’t you?” Samuel said gruffly. He was really getting pissed off, and Ciara doubted that he would be able to hold it in any longer than nec

On the ride back to the luxury apartment, the car was eerily quiet. Samuel said nothing to Ciara, and neither did Ciara, and in order to distract herself from feeling uncomfortable, especially with Samuel’s stone-cold face, she decided to look outside the window instead.It was safer to look through the walls of Mexico City and its people walking about freely and going about what they wanted to do, which was contrary to the life that Ciara was trapped in than to continue to see Samuel’s face and live in the fear that he might reach out and strangle her any moment. Ciara was grateful that after Samuel’s conversation with Aunt Mary, he had not bothered to confront her like he would usually do. Ciara had been skeptical about returning to the ward after what she had heard, so she had feigned having a light headache, which had prompted Aunt Mary to urge Samuel to take Ciara home.Ciara had hoped that Samuel would let her drive back to the apartment alone, since she was practically staying

Ciara knew immediately that she needed to do something.“We have an impostor in the house,” Aunt Quinton said with so much fear and trepidation that she almost passed it on to Ciara. Ciara knew there was something off about the man, but she had hoped that somehow someway, her intuitions would be wrong. Now, she would not even be able to get that so much desired nap until she is able to solve the problem at hand.“Where is he now?” Ciara asked. Just then, they heard the sound of the mowing machine.Ciara and Aunt Quinton hurried to the window and there he was, mowing the lawn. Aunt Quinton gasped in shock. Accepting the situation for what it was seemed really difficult for her. “So where is the real Joel?” she asked.“I have no idea, Aunt Quinton, but we have a huge problem in our hands, and we need to sort it out before it blows out of proportion,” Ciara said.Even though she said “we”, she was actually referring to herself. Now that she knew that the man they have mowing their lawn

Ciara stirred, her head banging. It seemed to Ciara that she was in a different world entirely. She tried to open her eyes, but as she did, the room began to go in rotations. She could not even fathom where she was. Soon enough, Ciara started to hear faint and indistinct voices. They weren’t exactly familiar to her.Ciara opened her mouth to talk, but she could not utter any words. Then she felt a hand on her head, and in a few seconds, Ciara slipped into unconsciousness again.Hours later, Ciara wasn’t sure, she stirred and opened her eyes again. This time around, it was only a mild headache, and when she opened her eyes, the rotation had disappeared. Ciara looked around from her position on the bed, and it dawned on her that she was in a hospital room. At first, she could not understand why she was there. Ciara was confused. She looks around frantically and her eyes fall on Aunt Mary sitting on her wheel chiar, right beside Ciara’s bed.“You are awake? The doctor said the second dos
