CALVIN: The Billionaire's Defiant Bride Chapter 49— Love?
Cora's POVAs I walked towards the dining room, my chest tingled with a different kind of feeling. Yesterday, Calvin had acted the most gentle I had ever seen him.He had taken me to my room, waited as I showered and saw me go to sleep before leaving and nothing had ever surprised me that much.Was he really the man I met on the first day? I reached the table and Calvin's scent greeted me first before his voice did.“Did you sleep well?”I nodded as Calvin ran his eyes on my body till they settled back on my face and he said the words, “you look beautiful.”Was that the first time? I bit the insides of my cheeks so my smile could look the faintest they ever could. “Thank you.”“You two sure look cute that way,” Lorraine's voice dripped in and I turned to her, “sorry for my interruption. Came to drop this,” Lorraine dropped the jug of tea on the table and left hurriedly.Silence reigned as we ate and drank and Calvin was finally ready to leave. “Have a good day, Cora.”I nodded as I ra
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 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
CALVIN: The Billionaire's Defiant Bride 2— He's a brat
Everything was changing in a day. Life has never been funny. Just yesterday I travelled back to downtown, LA, 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. Finally, the car I was in stopped 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 yellow dress I was in made me uncomfortable. I was surprised when the dress was brought but upon thinking, I remembered there were no dress code to getting married to a courthouse. I got out and scoffed as the gown swept the floor, making me look like a princess that I wasn't.
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
CALVIN: The Billionaire's Defiant Bride Chapter 6— She'll continue working
“You do not get the right to kiss me without my permission,” Calvin's irritated voice rang in my ears as soon as I closed the car door and I turned to him at once.“Really? I do not get to kiss you? Are you a God or something?” Anger laced my voice at how unbothered he stared into space. Everybody was staring.While that man, Jayden or whatever, talked, everyone had their eyes on us and were waiting to see if he was right and I did what I thought was best.But it's this man I did it for. What did I think? He was going to think he's a god.“It was stated in the contract. You don't get to touch me without my permission. Talk more about kissing me. And especially in front of the crowd.”“Understood,” I gritted and leaned into the car, “And I hope you stick to it,” and with that, I grabbed my earpods from the purse and my music accompanied me until we were homeAs soon as the car stopped in the compound, I was out. “You are here,” Lorraine smiled as soon as I entered the room and I crash
CALVIN: The Billionaire's Defiant Bride Chapter 7— About to own a company
“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

CALVIN: The Billionaire's Defiant Bride Chapter 48— Vulnerable
I stilled as Calvin narrowed an eye when he stepped in while I gazed at the woman. She was in a black top, a cream coloured blazer on her and a knee length skirt to match.She was wearing nothing out of the ordinary but I hated it. Why was she with Calvin?“You're still up,” Calvin was surprised and I nodded as I stood, my thoughts messy. Why did he bring a woman home right after we had sex?Why was a woman with him in the middle of the night? The woman adorned with red lipstick smiled at me. “Mrs Logan? It's a pleasure to meet you.”“Same,” I forced as I gazed at Calvin with a need for an explanation.“Cora, meet my new assistant. The ban was lifted and my company can start production now. I need to complete something with her so we're working till the next morning.”“A female assistant,” I muttered. When I looked it up then, Calvin didn't have many female workers and I never saw a female assistant.“You don't think it's wrong to have your assistant with you in the middle of the nigh
CALVIN: The Billionaire's Defiant Bride Chapter 47— First night together
Fours? My jaw almost dropped and then Calvin raised a brow and at once, I was bent on my fours— for Calvin.“I'm about to show you another side of yourself,” Calvin whispered and he reached behind me and I stilled as I felt his dick on my butt.We were not about to have anal, were we?“Calvin, I can't do anal,” I ragged out and he scoffed.“You're dripping wet for me, I wouldn't starve those pretty lips of yours that I wanted to see again,” Calvin emphasized on that word, reminding me of the other day before I felt his hand on my waist, rolling my dress up.“Look ahead, Cora,”And then I saw the mirror. Myself in the mirror, shuddering as Calvin lifts my gown to my waist. And in a yank, the panties were off.Calvin inhaled a sharp breath then he cussed, “Fuck Cora,” and the hand met my butt, gently massaging my butt cheeks.“This ass is exactly like I want it.”Of course, I used the gym. After leaving a 2 year relationship, I used the gym for my mental health too.“Calvin,” I murmured
CALVIN: The Billionaire's Defiant Bride Chapter 46— Way out
Cora's POV “She's so smart,” Calvin started as we transferred the video onto the laptop. I was seated beside Calvin while Alicia gazed at us with fury.We agreed to meet where she handed us the footage. Footage where Jayden ordered the poisoning of the drinks. He had meticulously caused a distraction the moment the car of the governor pulled into the hotel.And when the guards headed out to clear it, he had the drinks changed. Of course, which one of the guards would have thought to watch over a new wine completely protected in a bottle.No one would have ever thought of it. He's a genius, I must say.“Completely transferred,” Calvin said and at once Alicia stood to her feet, grabbed the disc because she still needed it. She and Jayden had planned to take both of us down.So while she didn't trust Jayden, she secretly took a video which was to our advantage. They're both sneaky and cunning. I like it.“Now, you both stay away from me or else I'll hunt you down,” her eyes sparkled wit
CALVIN: The Billionaire's Defiant Bride Chapter 45— I needed that
Calvin’s POV Those pretty lips I had right under my gaze played repeatedly in my head as I buttoned the last button of my shirt.Yesterday while she folded her arms around herself yesterday as we headed towards the car, all I wanted to do was take away her worry.Seeing her so small and pitiable as she panicked yesterday hit a muscle in me intensifying my already feeling of guilt.And all I wanted to do was take away her worry. A good orgasm was one of the ways out and I took it but that definitely had an effect on me.Swollen and hard for her, I wanted to be inside of her but I couldn't. She hated me enough already.I sighed, grabbed my jacket and headed out of my room. Another day to hunt down Jayden. I probably had to see him. My company was upside down at the moment but I'd correct that.I got to the diner and met Lorraine pouring juice into a glass. I glanced at my seat and met my dish on the table. “Who are you pouring that for?”“Cora. She requested for one,” Lorraine replied
CALVIN: The Billionaire's Defiant Bride Chapter 44— Lust
Warning: An average sexual content below As we sat in the car, I watched Calvin make a dozen calls, demanding for all footage across the road to the hotel the governor spent the night at.We were back at home but none of us were willing to go out especially since Calvin hasn't figured out a way.I understood him. Even though Jayden was a prime suspect, I'm sure he still hoped it wasn't him— his childhood friend.Because of Jayden his company's license was seized. His company was charged for food poisoning. The governor and his wife were in critical condition while the governor's aides only had stomach indigestion.And as expected from people who drank the wine at the reception, they claimed they also experienced stomach issues Now I was watching Calvin make thousands of calls to be able to see if he can get any tip. Any footage or proof.A call came in and he picked, “the footage was wiped out.”“God Dammit! What do you mean by that!” He screamed and ended the call and as I watched
CALVIN: The Billionaire's Defiant Bride Chapter 43— Getting proof
Cora's POV“So you're dragging me into this huh? To help you save your company. I do not have to be involved in this,” I told Calvin when we reached the car. For such a vile person, I didn't need to be around them.“You're right,” he stared at me, not a hint of emotion in his eyes, “But it's Alicia here, haven't you always looked for a way to pay back? It's your chance here.”I stopped. That woman. She made Kaylee get arrested. Remembering those innocent eyes I saw earlier when I video called her after Brandon got her out, I decided if anyone needed justice, it was her.“Okay,” I plainly muttered and got into the car. Calvin got in and I watched how his muscles flexed as he grabbed hold of the wheel before heading outside.Calvin turned to me and we held eye contact before he smirked, “I like that eyes on me,”“I rather stare at a crazy man,” I rolled my eyes before taking my eyes off him. Nothing I hated more than the fact that his presence, his manly body affected me.Minutes passed
CALVIN: The Billionaire's Defiant Bride Chapter 42— Let's get to work
Calvin's POVI have dealt with tons of situations like that but it still puts me in a state of shock as I thought of Iris. She was up to something. And she knew I was investigating her?How the hell did she know that?I stared down at the tape. If things went well, it'll prove that Kaylee didn't delete those videos. But— I paused as I grabbed my laptop. It should show who did that and probably show the person who served Cora that drink.I immediately began playing the video, trying to skim through but I knew it was no use if I was skimming through. I sent it to my men at once and dialled Brandon's number.“Prepare to go get Kaylee out. I'll send you the details.”Within 30 minutes, I had my men watch about a day's video and the truth was out. Alicia did tamper with the recorded videos. She deleted the videos.But— the person who spiked her drink wasn't shown. One of the waiters probably got it done outside the main hall.I gave orders to Brandon who questioned me but I gave no reply.
CALVIN: The Billionaire's Defiant Bride Chapter 41— Hidden intentions
Calvin's POVI stirred at the location indicator on the GPS and my brows creased. Alicia and Jayden were together minutes ago. I had managed to get my best hacker to get their location and transmit it to me.Now, one of them was leaving the villa.Different thoughts ran in my head before I steered the wheel and headed in the direction of whosoever was leaving.One thing was certain. It'd be related to the case. When I gazed down at the location transmitter, I raised a brow.Whoever was leaving, was heading to the reception where the wedding party took place.Minutes passed and I saw the red pointer stop moving. When I increased my speed, I reached the reception and I found the cops still guarding the entrance.As I got down from the car, I sighted the familiar car. It belonged to Jayden. So, did Jayden drive the car there?The decoration of the reception was still intact and gently, I made my way towards the entrance.“You're not allowed here,” one of the cops stopped me with a stretc
