All Chapters of The Forgotten Bride: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

Her brows knit, but she moved forward. Cameras surged forward like a wave. I could see that she was not comfortable with the attention she was getting. Somehow she never was okay with that attention and no matter how hard I tried to make her know that I was not here to bully her and the cameras were just so fixated on her beauty to even talk about anything else, the more she failed to believe me. I held her hands as she tried to climb to where I stood. I didnt want her to feel anything negative and I also wanted the media to eat up every bit of attention that I was giving to her. Finally, she reached where I was and when she stood beside me, I reached into my pocket. The velvet box felt heavy not with the weight of gold, but with the weight of my own gamble. I dropped to one knee and I saw her eyes widen in shock. Gasps rippled through the crowd but I didnt care about any of that. All I cared about was my Mara. Finally, I was going to propose to her in front of everyone and we were

Liam POVI couldn’t sleep properly the whole night before. I had tried my best to just be okay with being in the shadows but I needed to see her. I needed to know what she was doing at this time and how she was fairing. I could not understand why my heart kept beating so loudly, but I knew that it wont stop till I saw her. The drive there was fast and I tried to not allow some thoughts cloud my mind. Her face flashed through my eyes and I pressed on the paddle hoping to get there faster than possible. Ironically when I finally got to her apartment building, I could not move out of my car. I sat still, hoping that she would not be so upset with me and kick me out again. Her building smelt like coffee grounds and wet concrete. The hallway light buzzes. I knock because there are still some traditions I can’t let go of, even now. For a moment, she didnt open. It was almost as if she could smell that I was the one standing at the other side of the door. When the door finally opened, sh

I waited for her at the back door to the kitchen. Customers were not allowed to come back there and I needed to have a little chat with her without anyone knowing. "How much did they pay you?" I asked when I saw her walking by. She halted and turned to look at me. Something about her was different. She was no longer the calm and colleected girl who had stood in the hallway when the cameras began clicking. Her eyes had gotten darker and I could just tell that she wanted something different. "I have no idea what you are talking about," she said "I dont have time to play games. I know my sister and her lover paid you to rat me out to the media. So how much was it?" "Oh no one paid me to do anything. Just the satisfaction of having to see you suffer and be embarrassed is truly all i wanted." "But why? I have no idea who you are so I am sure that I havent hurt you before." "You don't have to know who I am. All you need to know if that you took something from me, something that I cou

Amara POVI woke up the next day to a call from my former boss. I never thought I would say such words again so soon but I guess that is exactly what I get for not doing the right thing and staying away from Liam when I still could. "Good morning ma," I rushed to pick before the call would end."Yes, Amara. I want you to come to the cafe today. You have gotten your job back." She said happily, almost unable to contain her joy. I paused before answering, trying to understand why a woman who badly wanted me to leave few days ago is now so eager to have me back in her cafe. I smiled softly at her before saying, "thats okay ma. I will be there soon." I answered before the call went down. I didnt understand what was happening but I was happy that it was. This only meant that I was going to get the opportunity to help my family out once again. I dressed up almost immediately and rushed down to the cafe. I wished I could see Micah before going there but I knew very well that my life was

Liam picked me up at the close of work and we worked all night. We didn’t go to any bedrooms or boardrooms, but we cramped ourselves at the back office of a cafe that was extremely dark, hoping that no one would recongize us. We spread contracts all over the table and looked through every bank wires accross a scarred desk. We were careful enough to draw circles around dates that did not just align, around signatures that slanted wrongly, and around shell companies that bloom and wilted in the same week. Anything we got confused, Liam would put a call through to Nolan or to Jude and soon, Jude was sending us a file tree so dense that it actually looked like a forest. I had no idea what was going on there but I knew that it could not be a light work for us to do. I sent the file over to Mira and explained the situation of things to her as I watched her picking through the file with a grin on her face. We all stayed on a conference call to avoid anything being missed by anyone. At this
