His Defiant Bride Sofia's Here
Thea fixed Lucian with a stern, yet conflicted gaze as he leaned against the door, a sheepish smile playing on his lips."You can't keep being mad at me like this. Come on..." he prodded, flashing his endearing, boyish smile that, much to her chagrin, only accentuated his handsomeness."I can, and I will. I can't believe I did that in front of Mrs. Kyle," she lamented, her voice tinged with a mix of frustration and embarrassment. He cautiously stepped closer, reaching out for her arms."But she left the room before we did anything. You saw it too," he pointed out, trying to alleviate her embarrassment.She had indeed noticed Mrs. Kyle's exit, but Thea couldn't shake the mortification of letting herself be drawn into that impulsive kiss. Her cheeks burned with a rosy hue, and she sighed, her gaze dropping to the floor."Still, it doesn't make it any less embarrassing," she mumbled, and he tenderly took her arms in his hands, his fingers tracing slow circles on her skin.Her gaze lifted
His Defiant Bride Reconciliation
Thea didn’t need to think to answer Sofia’s question. There was no need to hide the truth but she needed to hear her side of the story first. If her uncle was tattling about her because of what she did last time. This should be her responsibility. Something she should resolve before it got to affect Lucian’s inheritance.“If you’re asking if I begged my uncle for money then no, I did not,” Thea said confidently her tone steady and her eyes meeting Sofia’s who was looking at her with a critical gaze.“It seems like this is what your uncle is saying though. He went on about you barging in on his dinner with an associate and demanding money from him…” Sofia said, “To be honest, I thought that you needed money and this is why you got engaged to Lucian which made me worry about him.When I looked into it. I realized that you didn’t have access to your trust fund and that your mother left the account to your uncle so I directly assumed that you were in there for Lucian’s money. I doubted yo
His Defiant Bride The Wedding Dress
“It feels like my house had been colonized by my wife and mistress and they happened to get along well,” said James, Thea’s Grandfather’s secretary as he leaned back against the kitchen counter of her grandfather’s house watching as Sofia and Mrs. Kyle went on about whether an old dress was or wasn’t appropriate for a wedding.“That in itself is a very scary situation to be in, James,” Her grandfather said with a sigh and James chuckled.“You sound like you know that too well, Grandpa,” Thea added and her grandfather completely ignored her comment while James gave her a wink.“When I told you to think about using the dress, I didn’t ask you to bring a fashion designer into the house. That woman is going to give me a headache with all of her questions,” Her grandfather complained as he watched Sofia examine the contents of the trunk sitting before her.“You’re not even the one answering them so what is it to you? Uncle James was the one answering all of their questions in the first pla
His Defiant Bride A Better Mood
When Lucian stepped into the house, he was surprised to see the lights off. He finished his work early that day and decided to make the trip back before they were expecting him.Usually, by this time, the house would be bustling with Mrs. Kyle preparing dinner and Thea around the house somewhere busy with her research and course preparations. But the house was plunged in darkness and if it weren’t for the light on in the study he would have assumed that no one was home.Putting down his bag, he made his way to the side of the house where he found Mrs Kyle busy doing laundry. Surprised to see him she was startled for a moment before she spoke.“You’re back! I thought you said you’d be here tomorrow,” She said.“I finished early, where is Thea?” He asked and Mrs. Kyle looked away, “Is something going on?” He asked feeling dread fill him for a moment.He just talked to her earlier that day when she complained about Sofia taking her around for wedding preparations. Did something really ha
His Defiant Bride Peter Moving On
Thea made her way out of the changing room and sighed.“This is hopeless,” she told her friends.“That’s not true, we managed to do a lot today don’t let it bother you too much,” Sofia said patting her on the shoulder as she took the dress from her hand.It was the second fitting session. The first one ended as soon as Thea touched the dress and instead, they made do with the prototype Sofia had prepared to make sure that the design fit her well.They made a lot of progress last time, with Lucian by her side holding her hand all the time. She felt like she was able to overcome some of her baseless fears.This time, Sofia forbade him from coming in declaring that this was as far as he was getting away with this. The groom should not be able to see the dress.So instead he called Pen and Peter to stay with her in the changing room and see the dress.He was so dedicated to supporting her with this that she felt like crying sometimes.“I don’t know what to say. To be honest, I would like
His Defiant Bride Unpredicted Connection
Thea looked at the dress before her in awe for a moment as Sofia’s helpers rolled it inside. Peter whistled from beside her as he leaned back on the couch and Pen gushed at the dress. “Oh my god. It looks beautiful,” Pen said excitedly. Thea, unable to speak, simply nodded as she looked at the dress making her wonder if it was truly made for her. The dress has an off-shoulder neckline like her mother’s with overlapping sleeves. But there was something added to the sleeves, some embroidery and lace making it much more delicate and actually like a different dress. The A-shaped form flared to the floor gradually into a graceful trail with beaded shapes and some sort of translucent fabric which made the dress look almost ethereal. “Is that really based on my mother’s dress?” Thea asked hesitantly and Sofia nodded with a smile. “It’s the exact same design, although it would take time to enhance the dress to become like this. I think that it’s perfectly doable,” She declared proudly as s
His Defiant Bride Threatening Letter
“To think that we would be getting something like this…” Thea trailed off as she stood by the kitchen counter, “Do people even use this these days? Collage threatening letters…”Lucian rubbed the back of his neck seeming stressed as he gazed down at the colorful piece of paper on the counter a line forming at the side of his mouth.“I don’t know, but this is getting a bit too frequent,” He said tersely.“Delay the wedding or else… Or else what?” She asked lightly and Lucian looked at her with a raised eyebrow.“You seem pretty relaxed about this. It’s a threatening letter, you know…” He told her.“I know. I was the one who found it this morning. To be honest, compared to the bursting pipes in the venue. The closed-down cake bakery and all the ruined businesses that had to suffer because we chose them to cater for the wedding, this is quite straightforward. My conscience was getting a bit heavy,” She said and he sighed nodding in silence.Since they started preparing for their wedding.
His Defiant Bride Our Vows
“You seem nervous,” Haden said as he sat before Lucian at the counter holding a bottle of water he took himself.Lucian looked up at his friend and gave him a smile.“Was I that obvious?” He asked wryly.“Well, it looks like the roles were reversed, usually it’s the bride who’s nervous. But Thea is so relaxed and casual about this that it’s making me question whether you actually told her where we’re going or not,”“Of course, I told her!” Lucian exclaimed, Haden’s words hitting the wrong nerve, “When I asked her again today she said that she was happy to marry me, but I can’t stop thinking whether this is the right thing to do,” He said with a sigh.“You know that the ship already sold on this one don’t you?” Haden commented.“Yeah, thanks for the comforting words…” Lucian trailed off and Haden sighed.“Lucian, this is supposed to be what you wanted,” He said and Lucian nodded.“It is, it is because to me I would be marrying the woman I fell in love with. But to her she would be marr
