Novel & Cerita From Chance Encounter To Cherished Bride

His gaze pierced into mine and I found myself lost in his eyes when he raised a brow, I suddenly snapped back to my senses and stretched my hand forward for a handshake. My face brightened with a smile crept at the corner of my lips “I happened to hear your conversation where you mentioned that if the bride doesn't arrive in the next five minutes, then you would just get married to anyone. Five minutes have already passed, so let me be your bride.”

Possibly, Flossie was rocking and rolling a bit more than necessary, just to keep the newbies on their toes. Mandy caught me looking at her and scowled. “Wherever it is we’re going, they better have cake. And chocolate.” Spoken like a woman who’d come to the realisation that all men are useless. The journey was otherwise uneventful and as night set in, the mountains loomed ever closer. We landed under a star-strewn sky and were met by the brays and honks of the other dragons welcoming Vikchutni home. Cheng came out to meet us with a stream of children carrying torches. It was night, so his form was that of a demon, which might not have been the best way to meet your new bride.

he asked, watching her reaction with evident satisfaction. She nodded, reluctant to swallow the exquisite taste too soon. In one smooth motion, he rose to his feet, lifting her with ease. The guests parted before them as they made their way through the crowded hall, her cloak growing uncomfortably warm as they passed numerous fire pits. “It’s busier today,” she murmured, noticing the increase in people since her first visit. “They are celebrating our marriage,” he said, his voice matter-of-fact as he placed her hand on his arm. “The residents of The Landing may come here freely when they are hungry or seek an audience. But I must leave soon... to handle a few matters.”

Arianna’s ear kept buzzing, mostly because Chloe had made it a mission to hum endlessly about the gifts she had been receiving—from school all the way home, and even after they settled in her room. After hours of gentle pushing, teasing, and dramatic sighs, Arianna finally opened up about the contract marriage Aiden had proposed.

I was not a perverted sick bastard. Today was the seventh day I was here. Demian had not been home since the night we talked about his brother. He came back just a while ago. He waited for me as I got ready and we two made our way to the dining hall. “You look pretty,” he whispered. “I don’t like the choker,” I said. “Brides who are brought here out of their free will need to wear it until they become a true Silverclaw,” Demian explained. “Not just brides. Grooms too.”

I grinned as I patted her back. “I love you very much!” She cried. “I love you till infinity, Amore. I really do, and I bless the day that I met you.” “I bless the day that I agreed to marry you too,” she cried. Damn. I will do anything… and everything to keep this woman happy and by my side. This is the life I wished for, the life I wanted, and here… is the life I got. That life I had dared not to dream about. And that life entered like a thief in the night.

Wiping the cold water from my face, I gave a small smile to the camera. “Vincent, I’m going to be with my mom now. Goodbye.” I ended the recording and set my phone aside. Then, I closed my eyes and jumped from the top of the Empire State Building. Meanwhile, inside St. Patrick’s Cathedral, the wedding had begun, and Vincent and Elena were about to exchange rings. Vincent picked up the Medici family’s blue diamond ring. Just as he was about to place it on Elena’s finger, a sudden wave of unease hit him. As the ring slipped from his hand and fell to the ground, a ripple of gasps spread through the guests. Elena’s smile froze on her face.

I had given him my entire youth, yet he postponed our wedding 56 times. Chloe, on the other hand, endured eight miscarriages for him until she was barren, only for him to personally lock her away in a psychiatric hospital. By that point, I had no choice but to admit that I had been blind to ever fall for a man like him. … I thought Evan would be locked away for good, but I didn't expect to see him again. This time, he looked even more miserable than before. His clothes were in tatters, his hair was matted, and he was barefoot.

Everything had changed. As I wore the wedding gown Luca had picked out for me, my cousin's child came running over with an olive branch. "Aunt Giada, Uncle Luca told me to bring this to you!" I reached out and took it, only to see a note attached. "Giada, I know you're about to become my bride, but it still feels unreal. It's as if this is all a dream—and when I wake, I'll still be the one standing on the university field, secretly watching you walk beside Carlo."

The color wasn’t something that everyone could pull off but Encha did a pretty good job with it which made other unmarried ladies to put the color on their waiting list.

Encha finally arrived in front and Keaton walked towards her so that he may take her from the two dads.
