CALVIN: The Billionaire's Defiant Bride

Cora's POV “She ran away!” “What do you mean?” The world paused around me as I gazed at my mum. “What do you mean she ran off? I don't understand?” Confusion laced my voice as I tried to comprehend it. My sister? Ran away? For what reason? “I just said it! She fucking ran away!” Mum screamed and before I knew it, she was pacing around. “Goodness, what do I do? Oh my god, I'm so done for,” she kept mumbling around and slowly, my fist tightened. She was worried. But not for my sister. Mum didn't care enough about people to worry for her. She had done something. “What did you do to her? Why did she run away?” I screamed and turned to her. “What the hell did you do?” “There's a problem…” Mum mumbled before she settled down, worry etched on her face. “What did you do to her? What did you do?” I asked repeatedly, “it was just for two days. You were just supposed to take care of her for just two days before I get back from my trip. What went wrong?” “Marriage!” Mum suddenly

Every functioning organ in me stopped working at the statement. She'd be humble. Her background? So first, they wanted a wife from a lower background because she'd take whatever they dished out to her. Humility means taking whatever was being dished out to you. That's it. Oh my god. My head spun around as my memories tried rushing back. The same cycle. Goodness, I was about to repeat the same goddamn cycle. “Calvin…” Mrs Logan stressed and hurried to us, “Why will you say that?” “Isn't it a fact?” He shook his head and rubbed his temples, “I have loads of work to attend to, do you want to get married or not?” “I will not,” my voice came out firm as my fist tightened, “Until you apologize to me. For coming late and for talking to me lowly.” At that moment, the people in the hall were staring at us and that moment, mum rushed to me. “Cora!” “Apologize to me or we won't go ahead with the wedding.” “Oh dear,” Mrs Logan forced a smile and grabbed my shoulders, “please let it slid

Calvin's POV Another day to stand in front of the media. I smacked my lips at the thought. Just like the usuals when I have an interview to attend. The only difference was, I'd be shocking them today. And putting an end to the goddamn rumours. I was one to uphold all my values. How could anyone try to bring me down by spreading false rumors? And I'd do anything to show them the rumours were fake— and which was showing my wife to the media. At that, a chuckle spread over my lips but at the clicking of shoes, my face went back to normal. A floral scented perfume filled my nostrils and raising my head, I stopped at the captivation. Gorgeous red hair curled down and reached her shoulders. What? How could a hair shine so bright? Did I… how'd I miss the colour of her hair yesterday. There Cora was. And slowly my eyes moved down her body. She wasn't putting on the red dress I got but I think I like it. Because in a small top and high waist trousers and a black jacket, she looked exactly

“Ma'am, the event is about to begin,” one of the crew members told me and I smiled. I have been capturing different scenes of people happy and wishing the celebrant. My cameras were already fixed for the next event, the cake cutting.Yes, I went for the videography of the birthday message. Calvin can't control me and will never be able to. “Oh, and it's time for the celebrant to cut the cake!” A delighted MC's voice filled my ears and I smiled as I headed to the perfect spot to capture more of the scenes.The reason I was videoing the whole event was because the celebrant was a cancer patient and the fact that she gets to live another year made everyone delighted including me.That's what I love doing. It makes me happy that people are happy.“One, two, three!” The MC screamed and with the celebrant's boyfriend beside her, they cut the cake.Cheers filled the room and I smiled looking over at the other crew members. Since I don't have a crew of my own, they had to get other people to

Turning to Jayden, I gazed at him like he had gone insane. “Do you realize you're talking about my husband here?” “Quit the acting Miss Cora.”“Mrs Logan.”“We both know you're fake,” Calvin straightened in his seat. “I'll give you whatever you want. 1 million? 2 million? Up to 15 million, think about it.”I wasn't sure I had ever been that irritated in my life. Coming openly to express your dislike for the person's wife was another level of courage and bitterness.Even though he thinks it's fake. That's too extreme.“I don't know what made you think that way but I love my husband, Calvin and you better bet he'd be knowing about this now.”“I don't care. Are you in or not? We'd have an agreement.”“I can never be in!” I stated and headed to the door. “Get out now Mr Jayden.” I ordered and pulled the door open for him and there my phone binged and I turned.Jayden stopped by the table and peered into my phone before he ran his eyes over me and headed towards me.“If you do not agree,
