Jumbled Thoughts
Lucia watched as Thea made her way to the kitchen counter sitting down beside Peter. He gave her hand a light squeeze and she gave him a tight smile.
Lucian clenched his fist as he watched them interact like that. He hated watching this, he hated not knowing. Thea was hiding something from him. This truth still didn’t sink in, he was shocked but what Bella said about her not being his mother still overshadowed everything leaving him with no space in his brain to think about anything.
Did he think that he was the only one hiding things from her? Was he blaming her because she hid something from him while he held onto a bigger secret? He never knew he had such hypocrisy within him…
“We need to talk…” His father said calmly.
“No, you need to talk,” Lucian said, “And I will listen, for now…”
As he added that last part his father looked away with a pained look in his eyes. This was something

As Thea turned around to look at Lucian, she was surprised that she couldn’t see his face in the shadows cast by the sunlight. Her heart was beating at a sickening rate and she felt like she was a breath away from breaking down, and on top of that, she could barely see his face as he stood before her.“How did you realize it?” He asked his voice sounding distant in her already filled mind.“What?” She asked his question taking her off guard.“I’m pretty sure that my father didn’t tell you. How did you know?” He asked again.“I l, uh… I knew as soon as I saw you two. There was a striking resemblance, I thought you were keeping it a secret for some reason.”As she explained, Thea felt something damp on her cheeks and reached out in dumbfounded numbness. Her fingers were wet and it took her a moment to realize that it was her tears.“Hey, are you okay?” Lucian called out stepping toward her his face filled with concern.He grabbed both of her shoulders checking her out.“I’m sorry, I did

“Why don’t we take a small break from this conversation?” Peter said snapping Lucian out of his anger.Looking to his side, he could see Thea’s face, white as a ghost’s looking down at the table as she clenched her fists. Cold sweat was running by the side of her temple as she gulped down probably too engrossed in her memories to realize how bad her shape was.Looking up, he found Pen in a similar state as Haden pulled her to his side, she was looking far into space with an empty look.What was he doing making those two relive such hideous memories?! If this is what his mother had meant, then she was more nasty of a person than he thought. For her to threaten to reveal something like this. The woman must have gone mad.“Yeah, how about something to eat for now? I’m sure that all of you are hungry.” Lucian suggested.Thea finally looked up looking a bit relaxed as she nodded.“Yeah, we still didn’t eat anything. How about I order us some brunch, I will go check on what they have,” She
His Defiant Bride Not Holding Back
Thea hung up the phone checking on their orders again to make sure that she got everything right. Ordering for three men beside her and Pen was tiresome, but it was a much-preferred duty than being stuck with retelling the horrid story that she didn’t want to remember.Pen shefted beside her and Thea looked at her to find her still with a cold towel over her eyes. She was about to faint when they left the kitchen and Thea had to do some pretty fast calming routine to get her out of the trance she was in.“You think he will leave?” Pen asked after a few moments of silence.Thea remembered Haden’s pale horrified face when he heard their story and the way he clenched his fists in anger for them.“I think he will stay…” Thea finally said.Pen removed the towel from her eyes and sat up looking at Thea with wide eyes.“You think so?” She insisted and Thea smiled looking away from her friend only for her eyes to fall on the door.“Why don’t you ask him yourself,” She said smiling at Haden as
His Defiant Bride After The Storm
Thea slowly shifted feeling the weight of another body against hers. Relishing in its warmth, she slowly opened her eyes to find Lucian’s sleeping face before her making her smile.It had been exceptional, Thea never knew that making love to someone could feel so good, with every touch and every caress, Thea had felt Lucian’s affection and passion and responded to it. She was exhausted by the time they were done but she still wanted to go more and more as if she couldn’t get enough from him.She knew now why the women were talking about how much of an excellent lover he was.Thea felt her eyes close again and let sleep take her. She didn’t want to wake up yet. It was evening, or closer to night than evening. They spent most of the day in bed and she barely remembered time passing. She could remember the sight of his sculpted body, the sweat-covered face who would lean down and whisper her name in heated passion, but it felt as if it was a distant memory she had been watching over from
His Defiant Bride Family Reunion
Thea and Lucian walked into the spacious villa greeted by a well-dressed butler. A woman. Lucian sulked behind Thea as she talked to the concerned butler who seemed to recognize them as soon as they came in.He had been like this since earlier. Since he’d told her that Sofia had collapsed, he had a lost expression on his face as if he didn’t know what to do. She was the one who drove them there, and as he sat in the passenger seat in dazed silence, he finally asked her.“What if it’s too late,” He asked.“It’s never too late as long as you two are still alive,” She said softly and he nodded mutely.Now, as she watched him look at the side of the hall with an uncertain expression, she made her way to him and took his hand in hers.“Everything is going to be okay,” She reassured him as soon as he looked her in the eyes.“You don’t know that…” He stated.“I do. Because she loves you more than you think she does,” She reassured him.The roots of insecurity Bella left in him were deep, now

“Oh goodness! Look at me bawling my eyes out like a baby!” Sofia said with embarrassment as she sat down in the loveseat in front of them while James handed her the handkerchief to wipe her eyes. Thea smiled as she looked at the two of them interacting realizing something. Sofia never treated James as if he existed in the first place, in fact, it was always James running around trying to please her. She smiled thinking about his fate, he was probably going to spend his life atoning with her which was good enough for the schemer… Although it was Sofia’s decision to abandon Lucian to James, she never wanted to do that in the first place. Being away from her son was a nightmare to her but it had gotten so bad that she couldn’t sleep at night anymore, scared that she would get attacked. She told them how she had been determined to raise him alone at first and even cut ties with James, but when the danger became prominent, she had to call and ask him for help and the conditions of Bella
His Defiant Bride Idiotic Actions
Lucian reached out for the alarm clock sighing as he sat up in his bed and looked at the darkened spare room. It was cold and lonely, unlike the room in which he used to sleep with Thea.For the hundredth time, he lamented his decision to have separate beds. He did have a good reason for that, but now that he was feeling the harshness of withdrawal symptoms, and needed Thea by his side. His plan seemed more foolish and pointless each day.As he walked toward the bathroom to shower, the image of Thea’s beautiful curves under his hands assaulted him like a punch in the guts. He groaned as he looked down at himself, when was the last time he was having such a hard time controlling himself like this? He wasn’t a teenager anymore, he needed to pull himself together.Thea was going to end up thinking that this is all he wanted from her. As soon as he talked to his mother and she started complaining about his father, she told him something that made him pause.She was talking about how it fe
His Defiant Bride Betrayal
Thea sat down before her uncle as he sipped from his coffee not bothering to look at her. She eyed him for a moment noting how different he was since the last time she saw him, unlike then, he looked a bit on the disheveled side having lost weight and not replaced his suit, it looked like it was a bit too big for him.Under his eyes she could see the bags forming there like a sign of overwork and misfortune, somehow she felt a bit sorry for the man. Even though it was all brought on by his actions, she didn’t want him to end up like this… Maybe she should have asked Sofia to tone down her ire a little bit on him, Thea even heard that his company crumbled to the ground and almost went bankrupt.“You look like you’ve been enjoying life so far…” He trailed off as he looked at her with the same glare he gave her back then.There it was… unrestrained hatred and contempt, it was as if he wasn’t seeing her but looking at her mother instead. The sister he hated so much…“Not as much as you mu
