Shondaland Bridgerton の小説・ストーリー

Her father was dead, her mother was fighting for life, and now she was practically penniless until lawyers and accountants sorted through James Bennett's assets and decided if she could have access to what he spent his whole life working for. "Thank you," she said as she rose. "Annabelle, you can rest assured I'll do my best to reclaim his assets." She was already walking toward the door. "Thank you." Her head was empty of ideas on what to do next. As she stepped out o f the building into the sunshine, she received a call from her ex boyfriend, Casper. “Hi Anna.”

"Do you have any idea what is at stake here?" I almost laughed. For the past week, all I had heard was stake, merger, investors, collapse. Rowan Textiles was drowning. The only thing keeping it alive was the Lancaster deal and the Lancaster deal came with one condition. Marriage. Sienna had agreed to it happily when Adrian Lancaster was just a name on paper. A billionaire heir. A perfect alliance. A glittering last name. But now, after hearing he had no interest in her, after learning whispers of another woman he's been craving for, she suddenly couldn't do it.

The article was worse. Sources close to the Sterling family say the new bride is struggling to adjust to high society life. "She's not cut out for it," says one anonymous attendee. "She looked completely out of her depth all night." The hasty departure, barely an hour into the event has raised eyebrows among New York's elite. Catherine Sterling, Damon's mother, was reportedly "disappointed" by the early exit. Questions continue to swirl about the rushed marriage following Sophia Morgan's dramatic wedding day disappearance just weeks ago. Some wonder if the replacement bride is having second thoughts...

It sounded like something had happened when Charles called him, but the old man was tight-lipped about it and just said it wasn’t his story to tell. Damon leaned back, watching the tall buildings fly by in a blur of infrastructure. "It's been good. Busy, but good. How bout you? How's the fashion world?" Brian nodded. "The fashion industry’s doing well too. I’ve just launched a new line and partnered up with this genius woman. She's smart, talented, and knows how to run a business like no one else. Total beauty with brains." Damon raised an eyebrow, smirking. "Sounds like someone’s whipped."

Adrian said smoothly, though there was an edge to his voice. Victoria. Now, Leila knew the name. Victoria Moreau—heiress to a luxury empire, socialite, and, most importantly… Adrian Kane’s ex. She felt her stomach turn. Victoria’s gaze flickered to Leila, her lips curving into a slow, knowing smile. “So this is the new Mrs. Kane.” Leila met her stare without flinching. “That’s right.” Victoria extended a hand. “Charmed.” Leila took it, gripping just a little harder than necessary. “Likewise.”

"You try to steal my man, and all you can think of are those tarts?" Bridget taunted. She was so full of rage she did not analyze the situation appropriately. She turned to Allen and said, "Were you meeting her here too? In front of my father?" Bridget shifted her attention to the older man and revealed, "Father, this woman is seducing Allen! She is on the cruise ship - our cruise ship!" Returning her gaze to Shantelle, she declared, "I should have you thrown overboard from the cruise ship! Do you know who you are messing with? My father owns the cruise ship! I am Bridget Grant, an heiress to the Caribbean Sales!"

David softly coughed, lowering his voice even further, "Tonight, the organizer invited a big shot for dinner and invited us four judges. It's a rare opportunity, and I want to bring you along." Having a meal with a big shot!? Maria’s expression immediately turned strange. Earlier, Luna had told her that whether in the entertainment industry or the art world, there always needs to be someone investing to have a chance of standing out. Capital is incredibly important, no matter which branch of the entertainment industry. At that time, Luna had assured Maria that because of Charles, Maria wouldn't need to wine and dine any investor; her husband is the biggest capital. If he wanted to promote he

A couple of days ago, Billionaire CEO to Bridger Empire, Christopher Bridger ties the knot with his bride, Ahsley Grander, in a discreet, but elite manner. Then the screen was filled with the latest couple in the country, and Rudney’s breath caught in his throat; that had to be Lily Bashwood!

Her phone was taken away as soon as the wedding processes started. She wanted to scream, fight, run away but she could not. Why did all of this have to happen to her? Her parents never care about anything but money. More money even. She heard a few times that her mother cried when she realised she was carrying a female. Her. They both wanted a male who would grow up and take over her Grandfather's Company. Seeing Cassandra is the only available ticket now to get what they had both longed after, they care not if she'll be marrying a man she didn't love. Haven't met. But all that changed tonight.
