Where is my bride! “, Adrian said furiously, as he stomped towards the bride's father. “sh…she…was…just here”, the father said with a trembling voice. “ you must take me for a fool Hendrick “, Adrian said angrily as he ordered every entry and exit to be closed and every room should be checked, he was not going to let her escape that easily. The guards started carrying out the orders, some guests that were just arriving were furious as to being locked out of the wedding entrance, While inside the venue, the guests and some staff started murmuring about the shocking scene that just happened, and they were wondering what it was all about. while Adrian was questioning the bride's family and said, “you seem to have forgotten why we are doing all this, now let me remind you. if the marriage doesn't occur today, then none of you shall live comfortably. mark my wo—”, Before he could finish that sentence, the guards had interrupted, with their entrance. they found the runaway bride

Morning arrived far too quickly.Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the luxury suite, spilling across the enormous bed.Natalie groaned and buried her face deeper into the pillow.For one blissful moment, everything felt normal.Then the memories returned.The wedding.The vows.The kiss.The stranger she had somehow married.Natalie's eyes flew open.She bolted upright so quickly that the blanket slid onto the floor."No."Her voice came out as a whisper."No, no, no."The wedding wasn't a nightmare.It had actually happened.Panic surged through her.She looked around the room.The elegant furniture.The expensive decorations.The unfamiliar surroundings.Then her gaze landed on the wedding dress folded neatly over a nearby couch.Her stomach dropped.Slowly, another realization dawned on her.Natalie looked down.She wasn't wearing the dress anymore.Silence.Then—"What?!"She jumped off the bed.Pure horror flashed across her face.Without thinking, she sto

His tablet rarely left his hands, and by the time he arrived at work, half his day's decisions had already been made.Today was different.The tablet lay untouched beside him.His laptop remained closed.Instead of reviewing financial reports, Adrian found himself staring absentmindedly through the tinted window as the city drifted past.His thoughts, much to his own surprise, kept wandering back to the Lewis mansion.More specifically...To the woman he had left there.A faint smile tugged at the corner of his lips as he remembered the look on Natalie's face that morning."I've deci
