His Defiant Bride Uncertain Reunion
Lucian hurried out of the car and made his way into the hotel frantic and out of breath. Instead of heading soon after Thea, his grandmother had called again with an emergency and he had to stay for another few days.Although it was the day of their wedding, Lucian was barely getting there on time to get to the ceremony on time after changing. He’d been calling Thea over the past few days to apologize, and Thea had told him that she was completely fine with being late, but something was still bothering him about it. She seemed… off and he couldn’t blame her. He was so absent over the past few days after promising to help her with the wedding. He was going to have to redeem himself.“Lucian! You’re finally here!” His mother exclaimed as she stood anxiously at the reception hall waiting for him.As he looked around the space, he could see Loyd glaring at him from the side and pretended not to see him. He was probably going to give him a hard time over being late for this. Loyd had been
His Defiant Bride Running Away
Thea gritted her teeth as she leaned back trying to paste on the smile on her face as soon as she heard Lucian’s voice. Although she prepared herself for this moment over the past few days she spent hours rehashing this moment in her mind.Nothing prepared her to hear Lucian’s voice as he called her name. As she felt her whole body tremble as she readied herself to turn around and resume her acting, as she had been doing throughout her stay in this forsaken place.As Thea smiled, she turned around to look at him only to almost lose her composure as she looked at him. The face she saw before her was one filled with uncertainty and worry, one she used to think held so many honest emotions toward her that she thought she was going to burst from the excess of it.Now thinking that it was all an act. Wondering what kind of thoughts he was harboring when she was feeling deeper and deeper in life with him. It made her anger rise. But what made her stomach churn even more, was the realization
His Defiant Bride Uncertainty and Waiting
Lucian stared at the door as it closed behind him leaving Thea and Pen alone inside the room. Looking at Peter, the man gave him a strange look as he stared at him.“Is something wrong?” He asked and Lucian remained silent.There was something that was bothering him about Thea and he couldn’t say exactly what it was.“I don’t know. What did Thea look like to you?” He asked him.“I don’t know… she looked normal,” Peter stated and Lucian walked toward his assigned room wondering whether he was thinking too much about this.“I don’t know… She was normal. But there was something off…” Lucian trailed off.“Maybe wedding blues… it’s not like she was going to marry you for real. You two already are married…” He trailed off as he stared at his phone when it chimed.“You’re right… It’s not like this is going to be our real wedding?” Lucian said lightly still feeling uncertainty in his heart weighing heavy on his chest.“You’re planning on having another wedding?!” Peter asked snapping out of h
His Defiant Bride The Happy Bride
“She’s taking too long…” Lucian mumbled and Haden who was standing behind him shifted on his feet uncomfortably.Lucian looked at Peter who was still keeping his composure as he stared at the entrance. Lucian knew the moment something changed when Peter smiled.“She wanted to make an entrance…” He said.Lucian turned around to find himself staring at the most beautiful vision he had ever seen. Thea was walking down the aisle toward him her dress making her look as if she was floating in the air on a cloud.Her black hair was held up in an elaborate chignon making her majestic raven locks look like ink in contrast with the white dress. She was smiling as she greeted the guests walking slowly and confidently toward him. But Lucian still had to look her in the eyes and he kept anticipating the moment her amber eyes met his.When they did, he felt as if he was electrified with the piercing beautiful gaze she gave him. Her eyes looked as if they were challenging him and everything and ever
His Defiant Bride Too Tired To Care
Thea silently stood there as she watched her uncle act out on stage in the middle of her wedding reception.She wanted to feel offended or maybe embarrassed about this, but all she could feel was relief. Finally this joke was going to be over.She caught Lucian giving her a worried look but she didn’t have it in her to pretend or give him an expression he seemed to desire anymore.She’d been pretending to be fine all day long, all week long. She was tired. Period.She pretended to care when Lucian came acting like he missed her. She pretended like she was happy to wear her mother’s dress while she wasn’t even wearing it.And she pretended like she was looking forward to this wedding for the sake of the audience her grandfather and Lucian gathered for their own reasons.Now she owed them nothing, not even a smile from her tired lips. So she stared as her uncle made a spectacle of himself as if she was completely detached from her emotions, as if her body had been put into a trance wher
His Defiant Bride Consequences of His Actions
Lucian stood in the middle of the room staring at the dress Thea left pooled on the floor in a daze. His mind knew that Thea's words held a deeper meaning than whether this dress was easy to get out of or not. But his thought process was frozen in one repeated thought.Thea's eyes... They were so cold even when she was smiling. Since when did her eyes change like that? Her radiant bright eyes were his favorite part about her whenever she smiled. Why was she changing?Slowly walking to the dress, he knelt and picked it up. It was heavy and thick. perhaps mirroring the state of his heart. It was heavy and frozen in fear of what he knew was true but refused to admit.When Thea emerged from the room, she was wearing jeans and a hoodie."Are you going somewhere?" He asked feeling his heart clench when he realized that whatever was happening, Thea seemed to have already made up her mind."I'm not needed anymore, you got your marriage contract, I got my mother's charity back, and just for th
His Defiant Bride Leaving
Thea walked into the room and silently closed the door behind her leaning against it. She clenched her fist trying hard to stop herself from breaking down, she still had so much to do, she needed to pull herself together.She heard someone moving inside the room and made her way inside to find Pen sitting there waiting for her."Is it over?" Pen asked.Over, huh... There was a finality to this word that was still sinking in within her mind."Yeah, it's over..." Thea said simply wondering why she still felt like there was something else.Lucian's devastated face came to her mind and she shook the image away ignoring how it made her resolve waver."Did he not stop you?" Pen asked."No, he didn't..." it was the truth, he didn't try to stop her. Because he seemed more shocked and taken aback than she expected. The empty expression as he asked her if she was leaving made her wonder if he was asking her something else. If he was asking her if she was really leaving him.Then she was reminde
His Defiant Bride Her Freedom
Lucian leaned back against the chair his head pounding and his neck aching. He somehow managed to fall asleep on the table after getting drunk of all the alcohol in the room. The alcohol he and Thea were supposed to enjoy together.Sighing, he stood up making his way into the bathroom and staring at the mirror. His eyes were bloodshot and had dark circles around them and his hair was a rat's nest. Such a pathetic appearance, he thought, one befitting someone like him.He was about to turn on the shower when persistent pounding started to penetrate through his door. Wondering who it was, a voice within him told him that it may be Thea coming to settle her score with him. She would be a welcome sigh, even while screaming and cursing him for deceiving her, he would welcome it more than the devastated look as her parting words slew him like sharpened swords.But his hope was dashed as soon as he opened his door to find himself looking at a frantic-looking Loyd as he stared at him."Where
