Novel & Cerita Nora Roberts Lost Bride Series

"After the wedding. After you were already married to Adrian. That's when I found out what they really did. The other women. The families. All of it. By then I was already in too deep to walk away clean." Nora said nothing. "I tried to leave," he said. "They wouldn't let me. They knew things about me that would have ended me. They'd have killed me. They'd have killed you too, to make the point." She watched him and didn't know if any of it was true. "So I stayed," Robert said. "Kept my mouth shut. Played along. Watched them hurt women I'd never met and hated every second of it, and I still didn't know how to get out."

May your love last forever, and may you never have kids! Lydia's face drained of color, and she instinctively ducked behind Ashton. Recognizing Noelle, Ashton's irritation flared "What nonsense are you spouting? Macie and I are divorced, and Lydia's no homewrecker!" Noelle let out a mocking laugh. "You're the poster child for wanting it all, aren't you? Clinging to your ex-wife while planning a wedding with someone else, and all the while telling Macie to hang on for a second chance with you. Have you got any clue how much she's suffered these last few days?"

He left me desolate, and now he wants to give another woman my future? Not on my fucking watch. I grab another device from my drawer and stab Rowan’s number into the screen. He picks up on the fifth ring. “What is it, Nichole?” His voice is cruel and impatient. A far cry from the voice of the man who whispered delicious sentences into my ears, as he would thrust into me. “What is it?” I bark, pacing the room, “Have you seen the damn news? Your brother is getting married.” Silence crackles through the line.

She looked surprised at first, and then her expression shifted to something more unreadable. Zack’s grip on my hand tightened, and I could feel the tension radiating off him. Aaron and Mary fell silent, the atmosphere suddenly thick with unspoken words. “Well, this is unexpected,” Nora said, her voice dripping with that familiar, icy sweetness. She glanced between Zack and me, a small, knowing smile playing on her lips. “It’s been a while, Zack. Sara.” “Yeah,” Zack replied, his tone curt. “It has.” Nora’s eyes flickered to me, and I saw something there—pity, maybe, or something worse. “I heard you two got married. Congratulations.”

After taking Emily's so-called traditional remedy, Adrian had experienced a brief period of apparent improvement, but his condition soon deteriorated drastically. Lydia panicked. She tried to reach out to me, pleading for my return to complete the wedding with her son. She even promised that the Quirrel family would pay any price if I returned, but I refused. I had repaid my debt to the Quirrels in my past life. Under Susan's swift and decisive action, the preparations for my marriage to Charlie progressed at lightning speed. She even invited the most renowned astrologer in the city to select the best day. "Claire, the astrologer says the 26th of this month is the best day for your wedding,"

I replied still very much confused at where all these was heading to. "Jade and Melinda, these two prestigious guests of ours are Mr Luca Greco and Mrs Gabriela Greco. They are very respected and powerful people in the society" Father announced to me. "Oh. It is a pleasure meeting you both" I gave a slight bow. "The pleasure is all ours. You are so polite. You will definitely make a wonderful bride for Luciano" Mrs Gabriela smiled. At that moment my jaws dropped and it felt like the entire air had been sucked out of my body. They had been talking about my marraige all along!

After she completely gave over control of her body to him, what sort of insult would she endure again? Suddenly, she recalled what he had said before claiming her body again. Help me forget her tonight... She laughed sadly. That's it. There was a disclaimer before he claimed her body again. She acted foolishly by failing to consider it. She was so anxious to offer herself to him again that she didn't even listen to what he said. She was just a rebound! A Rebound bride! A Rebound wife! She was only an option. "Yaz?" He appeared to be very concerned about avoiding an unplanned pregnancy that evening.

Robert explained, looking at me with a hint of disdain. I felt a surge of anger and hurt wash over me. How dare he insult my background and try to buy me off like some kind of commodity. "I'm sorry, but I won't accept any money to end my marriage. Alex and I love each other, and we'll work through any problems we have," I said firmly, standing up. Robert raised an eyebrow. "Very well. I'll relay the message to Mr. Grey Sr. However, I must warn you that he will not take kindly to your refusal," he said, getting up to leave.

Sebastian came to Tera, trying to catch his wife's attention by pulling her chin, "Then you, why did you leave the party first? You left me and many guests! What kind of bride leaves her own wedding party?" "Nora needs rest. The doctor said, Nora is still in shock from what happened in the swimming pool. Moreover, your daughter fell on the ground. Her clothes were dirty, her hands and feet were injured. If you paid more attention to her than all the beautiful women at the party, you would know why we're home early!" Tera pushed Sebastian's hand away from her chin, then turned to look at Nora who was indifferent to Tera and Sebastian's conversation. The little girl was so engrossed in her wor

"Claire, are you sure about this?" Dr. Helena Shaw's voice was grave. "The program lasts eight years. Once you enter the facility, you cannot leave. You cannot contact anyone outside." I stood outside the private bridal boutique that belonged to the Graves family. Through the glass, I watched Cora Hayes wearing the dress I had ordered, posing for photos with Vincent Graves. Then he unfastened the necklace that belonged to the Donna of the Graves family and put it around Cora's neck.
