All Chapters of Brian's Poisoned Vow – Forced to Wed, Determined to Kill : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Brian sat frozen in his father’s office, his fingers digging into the arms of the chair. The weight of his father’s words pressed down on him like a tombstone. Across the desk, Mr. Garfield continued scribbling notes as if his son was not there. Whether silent or invisible, he was drowning in despair. Brian’s throat tightened. A tear slipped free from his eyes, then another. Soon, his shoulders shook with silent sobs. Memories of Valerie, her laughter, the way her fingers had once brushed his, and their first night flashed before him, sharp as shattered glass. She had gone. And now, this. Each ragged breath from Brian was a needle in Mr. Garfield’s chest. The man prided himself on his steel resolve, but the sight of his once-bold son crumbling was unbearable. With a sigh, he set down his pen. "Son," he called out with a heavy heart.Brian did not answer. The tears came harder now, ugly and unrestrained. His father was waiting for him to calm down before he would continue to plac

“Who invited them to the wedding?” Brian mumbled but Leonard heard him.“We will find out,” he squeezed his hand and encouraged him.The visitor held the twins in her two hands, walked to them in the foyer, and greeted the couple whom she was seeing for the first time, “Good morning, Ma'am. Good morning, Sir.”That voice. His name on her lips was a dagger to his chest. Leonard’s face drained of color. His eyes switched from the woman to the children.“Good morning, Young Lady,” Frederick and his wife responded simultaneously with a questioning expression.Afterward, she faced Brian. Though he had changed but she recognized him the moment she saw him.“Good morning, Brian,” she said, her British accent crisp. Like everyone, he was shocked to hear his name from a melodious voice.He looked into her eyes and responded, “Good morning, Young Lady. How may I help you?”“I'm Valerie Miller and these are …”Leonard had never met her but he had heard the name over a million times. At that

Jane was enthralled and tried to hug him but he pushed her away.“What do you want to do, Jane? I don't want intimacy until after marriage. Don't you get it?”She gave him a seductive look and apologized, “I got it. I hope you are no more mad at me?”He pulled her nose and stated, “You know I will always forgive you if you stop being naughty.”“I will be a good girl this time.”"You have said that before," he made clear to her."I will keep to my words this time."“Promise?”“I promise. I will get a good cook that cannot come between us for you.”“That will be fine,” he acknowledged without knowing what she had in mind.To sustain their relationship, she resolved to get her naive half-sister whom she could manipulate for him as a chef. “He can sleep with her as his toy if he wants instead of another girl who may take him away from me,” she reasoned.,At Brian's Apartment His father, Mr. Fredrick Garfield, loved him so much, and he loved him too. As an heir apparent, he showed much e

At The MallShe breathed freely and remained calm. Shortly after, they were in the mall. He drove to the car park and parked while his security guards parked too. She tried to open the door but he stopped her.“Kindly wait for me. I will do that for you. Okay?”She stopped and looked at him as he unfastened his seatbelt. He got out of the car, walked to her side, and opened the door. He looked into her eyes and held the door for her. “Thank you, for this, Boss,” she said and got out.“Consider it as nothing,” Brian responded and shut the door.Despite her poor outfit and the difference in their status, he walked proudly with her and led her into the mall.“Kindly get the groceries. I will be with you shortly,” he said and walked to the other side of the mall to get a marriage proposal ring.“I got you, Boss," she responded and moved.He returned after a few minutes and waited for her at the counter. Shortly after, she joined him with the groceries. He paid for them and they left.At

She was startled and wondered what he meant. “Come to the kitchen with me,” he instructed her and she obeyed.To her uneasiness, he led her to the kitchen but was too close for her liking."Can we continue with the interview?" She asked nervously. He looked into her eyes and tried to pull her closer but she resisted and requested, "Can we continue with the practicals, please?"Right now, Brian was conscience-stricken and felt that he was taking advantage of her, but he could not resist her.At that moment, the sexual urge that he had suppressed over the years was staring at him and he could not hold on anymore."Yes, we can continue with the practicals," he said and leaped closer to her. He kissed her lips passionately and caressed her nipples, and she stopped resisting.“It is all right," she said."But you know you have to change into kitchen wear,” he informed her.“Okay, Boss,” she accepted and attempted to get her kitchen utensils first but he helped her quicker than she could i
