Tessa Dare The Bride Bet Novels & Stories

"Lexie Shay Dillon, do you take Zheme Mardruk Algae for your lawful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?" Lexie looked towards Zheme, hands nervously squeezing his. "I...I do." "You have declared your consent to the church." The priest clasped both his hands behind his back, a pleasant yet hardly noticeable smile on his lips. "You may now kiss the bride." Zheme was the first to lean in, plump lips crashing onto Lexie's with a gentle passion. Her lips were as soft and as moist as ever and just like Zheme's they moved with a slow and delicate tendency.

I turned it off and tried to redirect my father's attention back to me. He gathered himself and continued his story. He explained that Edward got into business with some very bad guys from another country, and everything went sideways. He said that when it was all said and done, Edward owed these people a lot of money that he could not pay back... and they were either going to kill him, or take his young wife, Amanda as payment and regain their money by selling her into the sex trade.

Aaliyah stared at her phone, rereading the words as if they might change if she blinked. “CEO’s Contract Marriage Exposed: Inside the Billionaire’s Fake Love Deal.” Her ears rang. The article wasn’t just gossip—it was surgical. Dates. Legal terms. Anonymous quotes that sounded far too familiar. Even pictures from the restaurant the night before, zoomed in on Ethan’s hand covering hers. Her fingers went numb. This wasn’t an accident. Someone wanted to destroy them. She scrolled. Gold-digger. Paid bride. Strategic asset. Each word carved into her chest.

she whispered. Richard folded his hands behind his back. "The guests don't know the bride personally. Most of them are business associates. The ceremony hasn't started, and the press hasn't seen her yet." He turned to Adrian. "The merger survives." Eva stared at him in disbelief. "You can't replace a bride like she's a missing decoration." "No," Richard replied calmly. "But we can replace a woman who has already chosen to leave." "I said no." Richard raised an eyebrow. "I wasn't asking you."

"It's okay, Elora. I am happy that you came for me." Elora smiled brightly and came to hug her. "Such a pretty bride!" Allison shook her head. "What about you? You look so-" "Hot?" Teresa interrupted Allison. "Yeah," Allison said, smirking. Everyone knew what the reason was behind her smirking. "I think it's your wedding, Allison, but someone else is going to be banged tonight," Teresa said to Allison, then turned to Elora. She winked at her. "Tess! Stop teasing me." Elora said to Teresa in a fake, angry tone.

the bride here wasn't his mate. Dama cleared her throat twice, "Greetings to the entire family!" She started, looking around under her veil except for her mate. "Permit me to toast to I and the Prince's upcoming wedding ceremony after this, with a wine." She smiled, placing a big jar on the table. Prince Henkel was on smiles as he listened to her voice which seemed like a particular beautiful bird was singing on top of a very beautiful tree while his half brother, Prince Danks has to restrain his wolf from growling out loud upon hearing the bride's voice - why does it sound the same?

I held her on one side, Lucas on the other. "Look at you." said Mrs Dare, taking a picture of us with her cell phone, "It seems only yesterday that you were running around the garden like crazy hiding Nate’s toys. You were playing bride and groom, and today, my little girl is really getting married." said Mrs Dare as she began to cry. "Mom please don’t cry, you’ll ruin the whole make-up." Jess said turning to her mother with shiny eyes, "otherwise you’ll make me cry too." she continued with a trembling voice.

"Had to work late. Where's Chase?" He pointed toward the middle of the room. There, under a disco ball, stood my best friend. Feet shoulder width apart, arms at his side, head tossed back, and a girl dressed in what I believed was supposed to be a white, bridal bikini kneeled in front of him, giving him head. I didn't have a clue why Tessa wanted to marry his ass. That wasn't true. I knew exactly why-she wanted to be legally tied to the future boss of Union 21, even if his reign was years away.

Rosalyn quaked. "You are right? Damon is a hottie, tall broad shoulders, sharp jaw, just name it. Tiana can tell us more," I mumbled. "So tell us more," Leila and Rosalyn cooed resting their gazes on Tiana. Tiana chuckled wriggling her head, "you guys are so unbelievable." Next Day....... "Here comes the bride, here comes the bride," Tiana said in a sing-song as I sauntered into the living room.
