Golden Bride 소설 & 이야기

“What matters now is how we proceed, don’t you agree my husband. Lord Grizzle nodded, smiling warmly at his wife before his cold eyes shifted to me. “We need this alliance with the Briar Kingdom if we hope to defeat the rebelling Packs and rogues in our territory. Therefore, we cannot allow them to see us in a bad light. They wouldn’t understand why we have to keep you on such a short leash, Worm.” That was one of the nicknames he had for me.

Then one morning Amy entered her dressing room to find an exquisite pearl and emerald bridal tiara waiting. Beside it lay a simple parchment note in Viktor's flowing hand: "New beginnings deserve their own traditions unfettered. Please grant me the honor of our renewing sacred vows beside our son's that day - for no treasured past outshines the one being built each moment with you." Amy's eyes misted reading Viktor's heartfelt words, a girlish blush warming her cheeks. How like him to orchestrate so thoughtful and romantic a gesture! She hurried to where she knew Viktor awaited in his study, embracing him soundly in answer.

, will take care of that business. It stated more... Once she turns eighteen, she will get married to Mr. Sean Hudson. If Miss Sarah Rose Williams denies this arrangement, then this entire property goes to a charity, including Mrs. Rose Williams and Matt Williams’s shares, along with a 51% share of Hudson Inc. I looked at my father, and he looked calm, as if he did not care. I know why he would care, as he has his properties and his own business, so he does not care about this. But what about my grandmother? How will she survive? I cannot trust my father in this. What if he does not take care of my grandmother?

“What can we do?” The scene before us changes until I see the castle in one of our lifetimes. We stand on the edge, staring at the valley under the bridge. This castle was built into a cliff side, with the bridge going over something that looks more like a canyon than a valley to me. Valeria stands beside me, once again her hand in mine as we watch the invaders coming. At least our backs are protected and we can see them coming head on. “This is it, my love,” she whispers. “They’re coming for us. Our midnight is coming.”

This was her chance to show everyone that she wasn’t weak at all, and she deserved to stand at Carter’s side, his equal in every way. Voices were low, hushed as the pack’s Luna and Alpha stood in the center of the clearing. Warmth exuded from them as everyone settled into place and their gaze fell upon the girl at the edge of the clearing. Kylan wore white, her hair plaited with flowers to compliment the sheer gown that lightly wrapped about her. Her feet bare, she started to slowly make her way to the center. People were watching on both sides, some with curiosity, some with excitement. The energy was palpable.

The light dims down as Goldie hunches over to take a hold of his now bleeding nose. He whimpers, although he tries his best to stifle his own voice. Leonardo looks down on him, wondering if this was the same person that Ines deemed as ‘crazy’. He notices something that was wrapped around the glowing man’s neck. He leans down to inspect it further and comes to recognize the contraption. A shock collar secured tight on Goldie’s poor neck.

“She told me that English men like a woman to bleed on the wedding night, but many lasses don’t, even if they have not been with a man. She told me that lasses put a leach in their channel for a bit a day or two before the wedding to make a weak spot so coupling will shed some blood. I had thought that all the emissary would need was a bloody sheet and mother's trick would provide that for us.” “You deceived the king’s emissary, and therefore the king himself.” “Not as much as you did, Groigair Padraig Alasdair MacInnis.” Padraig scowled at her and grabbed the counterpane, tossing it back to reveal her nakedness. Eliana gasped when grabbed her ankle and tugged her quickly to the edge of the

Colin's POV I never expected to see Teresa again. And I certainly never imagined she would look like this. She was leaning heavily on a cane. Even in a trench coat, she no longer carried the same polished, confident look. She had grown so thin that her cheekbones jutted out prominently, giving her once vibrant and stunning face a brooding edge. When she caught sight of me, she took two frantic, limping steps forward. Her eyes glistened with tears, and her voice was raspy when she spoke. "Colin… Owen had nothing to do with the wedding. I picked out every single one of those 999 roses myself.

"You deserve something more valuable. But please, I'll have a happy death if you collect it from me. This is a key to an ancient crest containing invaluable Fortunes worth more than billions. Please accept it, King." Gasps! The Warden exchanged stunned glances with officers. Who offers gold pleading for its acceptance? Before they could process it completely, another man dashed forward, and went on his knee. "I have nothing to offer, King,” He said, voice shaking, “but I have beautiful daughters. If you marry the five of them, I'll have a peaceful life." Another man came out. "This is the Grimwood family seal. All my Estates, I'm Giving you everything. You saved my life countless times and y

Every meal was packed with rich meat dishes, and he wouldn't touch a single vegetable. But the change in his personality was even worse. Ryder used to be quiet but polite, always greeting the neighbors when he saw them. Now, he had become the neighborhood's little menace. That afternoon, I had just returned home after wrapping up a project when I saw Lauren dragging her daughter over in a fury. A crowd of curious neighbors trailed behind them, completely blocking the entrance to my house. "Joanne King! Get out here and see what your precious grandson has done!" Lauren shouted, her face flushed with anger.
