CALVIN: The Billionaire's Defiant Bride Chapter 9— Ridiculous reason for the marriage
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,
CALVIN: The Billionaire's Defiant Bride Chapter 10— Frustration
“I'm not interested in meeting with you in any way,” I texted the number in rage before I hit the block button. It was just one contract Calvin got for me, why's she so pissed about it?My phone buzzed and I reached for it hurriedly worried a number could text me even after I blocked them before I saw it was someone else. Ariana.“I'm on my way,” I screamed as I typed before rushing out of my office. It was the day of meeting her and I have been looking forward to it for days now.Reaching the parking lot, I paused. Would I be calling Brandon to take me? No. What if I have a discussion with Ariana and he hangs around to hear? I couldn't let that happen.Immediately, I was boarding a cab and minutes after I had reached the restaurant holding onto my handbag that contained the money she asked for.Not a lot.It didn't take long before I sighted my sister. At the corner of the restaurant like she'd always stay so as to avoid people.There, looking gorgeous and soft. Oh my god, I've miss
CALVIN: The Billionaire's Defiant Bride Chapter 11— A reason behind her actions
Calvin's POV“I asked a question. Are you a divorcee?” My voice was sharp as I gazed at Cora. I had just seen the news about her and her ex-husband. And all what was going on in my head was that that explained a lot about her.A lot about her. She was too extra. I got the hunch something was up.“I asked a question,” I told her and she scoffed.“Yes. Should I be embarrassed about it?”Here we go. I tilted my head at her question while she stared plainly at me, “I always wondered why you were too extra. And I finally have the answer. You were abused.”“That says a lot about how you acted.” My words barely rolled out of my mouth completely when Cora's jaw dropped.She gazed at me like I had gone insane before she shook her head, “what… what did you just… say?”“I mean your past definitely says a lot about the current you.” My words came out just like the thoughts were in my head and I saw Cora swallow hard before she smiled.A sad smile.“Wow, didn't take you for someone to rub someone
CALVIN: The Billionaire's Defiant Bride Chapter 12— Auctioning
“This place is nice. Hmm, such glistening environment,” Cora clicked her tongue, her eyes darting around the premises in satisfaction.We were at the villa for the auction. It was a bracelet that was being auctioned and my only reason for attending was simply because I wanted to be there.“I don't know a lot about prices Mr Calvin,” Cora turned to me, my hand on hers, “tell me how much will a building like this cost, huh?”“Not much. Probably half a billion.” I stated casually and she was still beside me for a second before she shook her head.“I see.”“Hm,” I replied when one of the guards walked towards us. “Can we see the invitation card?”I brought out the card and they let us into the room where the auctioning was taking place. It was filled with only about 20 people, all of them familiar businessmen.Cora simply stayed silent beside me and in less than 5 minutes, the auction began.“So, we have the bid price for 100, 000” the auctioneer pointed at the image on which the bracelet
CALVIN: The Billionaire's Defiant Bride Chapter 13— Don't get your hopes high
Cora's POVI stared down at my wrist, the bracelet sitting pretty on my right wrist since my left was still slightly injured.A 500,000 piece of jewelry was on me. How'd that even happen? And he indirectly said he wasn't going to get it. What changed his mind?“So you actually do believe in romance novels then,” I muttered to Calvin who sat beside me. We were on our way to the dinner his mum hosted and Calvin turned to me but didn't utter a word.“And 500,000 for jewelry for me? You opened my company too, Mr Calvin? Is there something I'm missing now?”Calvin ran his hands through his hair, an action I was just seeing him do which meant frustration, “I don't want questions,” his voice was cold and that made me pause.I thought… he was becoming warm. I thought we were.“Don't act all cocky, it was simply a question,” I rolled my eyes and grabbed my earpods but my mind still stayed on the question. Was he a fan of fiction? How'd he know about that familiar scene that happens in every no
CALVIN: The Billionaire's Defiant Bride Chapter 14— Panic
“Be honest with me, Brandon. Did Calvin set this job up for me?” I asked calmly as I sat at the back of the seat while Brandon drove.“No ma,” one of the employees replied before Brandon could say a word. “It's sincerely our first job. One of the business men really came and gave us this job offer to be very honest. I was the one they met with.”“Alright,” I nodded and relaxed into the chair. It was a small luxurious party that they wanted us to cover and I was going with just two extra workers and needed to know if Calvin got the job for me.I'd have cancelled. He's insane. For thinking he's on top of the world. It's been two days since the day of the dinner party and the least we exchanged were greetings which will remain at that.“We're here,” Brandon said as the car came to a halt and we got out. It was a reserved fancy hotel which I'm sure one of the business men owned.“We'll set up the equipment, don't worry ma,” Brandon told me and I gave up. I only grabbed my camera before he
CALVIN: The Billionaire's Defiant Bride Chapter 15— Revealed
Cora's POV His movement stilled for seconds before his lips curled into an ugly smirk that made me want to hit him.“Right sister-in-law.”“I am not your sister in law,” I snapped at once. “What are you doing huh? What are you doing to Ari?”He chuckled before his face went plain. “I don't understand. Care to explain, Cora or should I say Mrs Logan?”“You really told her to quit college huh?”“Of course not,” he retorted, “I only manipulated her to do so.”At that, my breathing seized while the maniac gave a dark laugh, “I do love her though and that's enough. I have her best interest at heart,” he laughed before grabbing his things and walked off and I exhaled.Did he just admit he was manipulating Ariana? I found it unbelievable. With my eyes on him, I watched as he met with his boss and headed towards the entrance and at once, I rushed towards Calvin.“Calvin, who's that man?”Calvin was gulping down his drink. He halted for a second and dropped his glass of wine. “That'll be all
CALVIN: The Billionaire's Defiant Bride Chapter 16— A discussion
Calvin's POVMy hold around the phone tightened the more as I listened to the video. “It was a contract marriage. He wanted to marry me for a particular purpose I don't know. But after running away, my sister filled in the place for me.” That little girl had said.And at the end of the video, I saw her with Jayden, making my blood boil.Why today of all days? When I was just about to sign the contract. When I was just about to carry out the main reason behind the goddamn marriage.Anger coursed deep through my veins before Cora spoke, “I'm sorry, okay? I'm just going to deal with it.”“Enough!” My hand hit the seat and she shook, “why didn't you tell me? Why the hell am I just finding out? Is that the secret you were hiding from me?”“I'm sorry, I just thought it wasn't necessary,”And at once, I reached for her jaw while her eyes widened, “and have you seen it's necessary? First, I found out you were a divorcee from someone else. Not from you,” I released her jaw and exhaled.Every m

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 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
