CALVIN: The Billionaire's Defiant Bride Chapter 25— Protection — Valued
Cora's POVI had never had a day where different events happened that fast. When Calvin told me my company released footage of Fernando forcing himself on a girl, I had stopped breathing for seconds.Who would be trying to get me into trouble? “You are very worried, are you not?”I turned to Calvin and sighed. “Of course I am, people will think how can I do that to a girl. And what the hell? I have nothing to do with it. It's driving me insane.”“It'll be sorted. You should get done with the interview first.”I sighed. I was fuming with rage inside of me. Whoever did that was looking for ways to drag me in the mud and also punish Fernando I guess.And for him to force himself on a girl, he deserves to be punished and I had to make sure of it. “So now that everyone has seen who he is, he'll get his judgment, won't he?”“It doesn't function that way,” Calvin said and turned to me. “You shouldn't get involved with these people. I'll handle it.”“Handle it? How?”“Tactically, Cora. Just
CALVIN: The Billionaire's Defiant Bride Chapter 26— I don't mind a divorce
Silence reigned in the car while warmth tugged at my chest as Brandon drove home. It felt different. Nobody had ever stood up for me. It wasn't until I began speaking for myself that people wouldn't dare trample on me.I glanced at Calvin and he had his gaze fixated into thin air while I wondered what he was thinking. And why did he stand up for me? Every problem I created affected him most.“Thank you,” I said out loud and he turned to me. His eyes ran over me for seconds in a scrutinizing gaze and he nodded. He looked away as fast as he could and ten seconds passed before he turned to me again.“Come closer.”Two words and the air in the car became thickened. It was an order and on an usual day I wouldn't listen but I was being controlled after everything Calvin had shown me I moved towards him, grabbed his arm and slowly leaned on him.“You will have to be careful with your movement as from today.”I nodded. Of course. I hadn't dealt with the rich that much but I have dealt with p

Cora's POVAs I got dressed, I didn't know what to think. Calvin had left. It was the first thing I asked Lorraine and she told me he left as early as he could. Then, I was dressing up and wondering where I was going.Calvin had given me access back to the company. At the thought of it, I paused. He had gone unimaginably soft. He stood up to me against Fernando.He went against someone out of his league because of me. I had no idea what to think. He was arrogant and prone to anger weeks ago. What the hell changed. He locked my company up as a punishment and now, I have access back.At that, I paused. Mum told me about her shop too. Her shop! Was it open now? I should probably visit her.Yea, I'll visit her first before heading to the company. At once, I headed outside.An hour passed before Brandon finally drove into the area. Dad's empire that crushed down right in front of his eyes. I hadn't been there in two years. I shut my eyes as I stared at the building that mum was building ba
CALVIN: The Billionaire's Defiant Bride 1— The Start
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 hard as I 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 screamed as I leaned into her, “it was just for two days. You were just supposed to take care of her for two days before I get back from my trip. What did you plan for her, huh?”“Marriage!” M
CALVIN: The Billionaire's Defiant Bride 2— He's a brat
Everything is all changing in a day. Life has never been funny. Just yesterday I travelled back to California and now I was on my way to the court house where I'd be getting married. Again. To an unknown Billionaire. Oh, Cora, how'd you even get here? I was so happy to finally see Ariana. If only I knew what awaited me was that. But even so, could I have said no? I would still have done something — especially with the situation mum got herself in. And the car finally put to a stop and before I could try to open it, the driver who also appeared like a bodyguard rushed to open the door to my surprise. “Be careful,” mum whispered beside me as I tried to get down the car and I rolled my eyes. The long damned white dress that I was in made me uncomfortable. Apart from the fact that it made me look innocent and too cool, it made me feel weird. That wasn't my style. I liked to look elegant and sophisticated and not like a damn princess. Looking like a princess was for Ari. Oh my sister,
CALVIN: The Billionaire's Defiant Bride 3— Getting Wedded
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: The Billionaire's Defiant Bride 4— A new home
After almost an hour of driving, we were finally in front of a gigantic black gate and according to my thoughts, the gate slid open and the car drove in.Lights glimmered in my eyes immediately. The whole compound was very lighted and as the car pulled over, the guard hurried to open the car door.“Welcome to your house, ma.”“Thank you,” I returned and followed him, my eyes taking in the compound. Trees were planted scantily and apart from around 3 types of car at the right hand side, I'd have considered the compound to be empty.Who doesn't have a garden in his compound? Well, I do not blame him, his hostile look might kill off the flowers after all.“You can go in ma,” the guard's voice finally brought me out of my thoughts and I realized we were in front of a glass door already. “Lorraine will help you out.”“Thank you,” I took the two steps in front of the door before I pushed it open and at once, warmth welcomed me, much to my liking.“Oh my god, you're finally around!” An elder
CALVIN: The Billionaire's Defiant Bride 5— Introduced as his wife
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
