His Reluctant Bride Silver Dress 2
“Well, Well, Well. If it isn’t our dear cousin.”Vincent stiffened as soon as he heard his cousin’s voice. There was one face he wasn’t ready to face that evening or any time later. The man was tactless to say the least, and he had a constant case of superiority complex when he was with him.“Hi brother…” Sia said as she stepped forward, Aira remained silent next to him her face pleasantly blank.“I see you made it. One would think that you would be too busy with your beautiful wife to attend any social events for a while,” He said.“Frank, good to see you,” Vincent said, “I’m sure you’ve already seen her at the wedding, but, this is my wife Aira,”“Nice to meet you,” Aira said as she extended her hand to for him to shake.His cousin took Aira’s hand in his shamelessly looking up and down her body before he lifted her hand to his mouth kissing it.“It’s nice to finally meet the legendary granddaughter of Gina Lee. I heard so much about you but surprisingly it got Vincent to get to mee

“What are you talking about?” Vincent asked,“I mean last week it was Sia and now Frank. Is there something going on with the project?” She asked“Well… You could say that. My uncle is trying to stir trouble since the wedding stunt didn’t seem to be working he went to the most important thing I’m working on right now, and that’s the project,” Vincent whispered back and Aira sighed.She knew something must be wrong. The man couldn’t stay put for too long. Although it was clear that he feared Vincent and couldn’t face him straight in the face, he was brave enough to keep provoking him like this…She knew Vincent was trying to go easy on him because he was his father’s brother, but Warren wasn’t making any points to redeem himself at all. He kept doing one thing after another going after Vincent like a jealous little brother rather than an uncle.To be honest, the man disgusted her and she failed to understand him. But like her grandmother said, there was no limit to how much greed can a

Aira looked at Vincent worried about what he might do or say again in a public place. She had this horrible feeling that all of this was a set up for Vincent. And even if it wasn’t they would find a way to use it against him.Her thoughts were shared between Vincent’s primal reaction to his cousin not so accidentally touching her, and to what she could do to calm him down enough to stop him from taking this further.“He touched you,” Vincent said his voice growling as he touched her neck where Frank’s face had been a few minutes ago.“He did…” She said with a frustrated smile, “But I’m okay now,” She added as she touched his hand once again.He sighed closing his eyes as if trying to compose himself then he looked at her again before turning toward Frank who was getting up with the help of his sister.“I will warn you once and not twice, Frank. You better be careful with how you act around my wife. Next time you do something like this, I will make sure to see your face plastered on ev

As soon as Aira pulled the cloth from the canvas, she knew that this was a decision there was no turning back from. It stared back at her wide and big with its imperfections. Somehow, she thought that when she sees next time, she would revive every dark feeling she had felt when she had put those covers on top of it all those years back in the past. But, she didn’t. Time had a strange way of making things seem simpler and less painful than they used to. She had expected it to hurt so much, as much as it did in her dreams and keep haunting her even more than it already was these days. But she felt strangely calm as she gazed at it. As if she was looking at one of her student’s works and identifying their strong and weak points and the best way to improve their work. Her hand itched and she reached out for the imaginary table to take her brush and correct the mistakes she was seeing only to find nothing. She froze in her spot for a moment then sighed and reached for the cover again

Aira turned to the left and parked her car in the first spot she could find before taking her working tablet and stepping out of her car in a hurry. She made her way toward the huge glass doors to the building stepped into the lobby and made her way toward the elevators wondering how late she was going to be.The elevator dinged opening up like Pandora’s box with people exiting it like a herd of sheep heading toward the door. She looked down at her watch realizing that it was lunchtime. Not working in an office made her sometimes forget how the working world functioned. Then she thought about the meeting where she was heading now.Did Vincent have to squeeze it into his lunchtime? She should have brought him something to eat with her. He had been so busy these days that he barely got back home. She even had to deliver him a change of clothes last night. He was in a meeting and an exhausted Meghan came down to pick it up looking like she had been fighting off the devil.Since the day o

Aira stepped out of the meeting room with a sigh.“I can’t believe you did that,” she told Vincent as she turned around to look at him.“They were getting on my nerves. Those old geezers needed someone to put them in their place.” Vincent said with a frown as if couldn’t believe that they would say something like that.“Still, this project is important to you and you’ve been trying to convince them for days. We were almost there, why did you have to snap at them in the middle of the negotiation?”“Because they were being greedy. Did you hear what they were asking? Aira they were asking you to give up your profit in order for them to agree to keep the project going,” he said. He sounded outraged at the notion.“It was to be expected after announcing how much profit I will be making out of this,” Aira explained and Vincent sighed.“That’s true but there’s no need for you to compromise with them. The contract was already signed and they can’t force you to give up what was rightfully your

Vincent pressed Aira against the desk pressing against her thighs as they spread wider.Feeling how close he was getting to her, she pulled herself back a little not liking how easily she was being drawn to him.Vincent put one hand on the small of her back pulling her a bit closer until her face was right in front of his.“Vincent, we can’t do this,” She whispered, “Not in your office while Meghan and Carter are outside.“They won’t be able to hear us,” He reassured her.“It’s not about that!” She exclaimed feeling her cheeks flame even more and he smiled.“You know you’re adorable when you’re both flustered and angry,” He told her stroking her cheek with a grin,Her eyes widened at the realization. Had he been teasing her all this time?“You know you’re such an asshole,” She said while slapping his chest and he laughed pressing a kiss against her lips silencing her and erasing her anger,“Is the princess still angry with me?” he asked as he pulled back,“Stop seducing me in inapprop

“Hello there boss,” Vincent looked up to find carter leaning against the wall watching her with a bright smile.“ since when did you start calling me boss?” Vincent asked his friend who seemed to be in an excellent mood.“Since you won’t be my boss for a while, I thought I would call you that one more time,” he told him.“What’s that? Are you gonna miss me?” Vincent teased.“More like I was giving you one last chance to hear me call you boss. I know you must’ve felt left out when Meghan called you that?” “Whatever do you want, Carter. Unlike you, I am a busy man,” Vincent answered “I’m still officially working here, my leave won’t start until tomorrow,” he told him, “besides, I was wondering what you will be doing tonight. How about a drink? It’s been a while,” “Sure, let me finish this and we will go. We could celebrate your long awaited vacation,” Vincent answered as he typed one last word in his document and sent it out to the printer.He stood up picking up his jacket and heade

His Reluctant Bride The End
Vincent pressed Aira against the door kissing her face and neck frantically and she chuckled upon the contact her melodious laugh making him relax and smile back at her as if she was the most precious thing in the world. "Are you really here with me?" He asked cupping her cheeks and she smiled up at him and nodded. "I really am here with you. Vince. I'm not going anywhere," She said looking him in the eyes and he nodded his eyes looking vulnerable, "This feels like it's another dream," He said and she circled her arms around his waist leaning into him. "Did you have a lot of those? The dreams I mean," She said and he simply nodded. "Since the very first day that I met you. I had been dreaming about you since that day," He said looking at her with a serious look in his eyes making her wonder if that was really the truth. It can't be... He must be pulling her leg. Before she could think about anything, she felt Vincent pull her up against him and kiss the daylight out of her as he
His Reluctant Bride Confession
Aira stood at the side and watched as the crowds all dressed in lavish black, circled around the huge gallery. She was standing to the side wearing a tight-laced black dress and black string high heels which made her feel both exposed and a little bit uncomfortable.There was something about dressing like this while attending an event alone. It made her feel as if she was being followed around by the gazes of any man hoping to get an easy lay tonight.Her only consolation is that this was a family event. A memorial for her grandmother.She wanted to laugh at that. This was more like a full-blown exhibition. The exhibition of the century.Her mother had went and outdid herself again with this event.Both her grandmother and Paul had been working nonstop on this. They even employed interior designers and event planners to coordinate everything to make sure the event was what their grandmother had hoped for.The woman sure had a fancy taste.Aira had been mostly working on the painting m
His Reluctant Bride Waiting and Wondering
"It was believed that the legal battle between The CEO of Valory groups and his uncle was going to go on for years before the score is decided. But a sudden turn of events makes us wonder if that assumption is going to be proven wrong.Today, Warren Valory had been arrested for no disclosed reasons closing the chapter of a long battle that had been going on for years since the young CEO took over the company in his early twenties being one of the youngest entrepreneurs to reach such a position at such a young age.In answer to our questions this morning, Vincent Valory revealed that his uncle was only getting what he had always deserved. He said that the days when he would cover up for his uncle because he was family were gone and that the limit was set at hurting other people and committing real crimes.Other sources revealed that the real crime Mr. Valory was talking about was the attempt his uncle had made to harm his beloved wife in a hit and run causing her car to almost roll up
His Reluctant Bride The Will
Aira sat down beside her mother and looked at the members of the family around her.Her uncle sat back on his chair looking as if he still believed his mother would walk into the room and announce that this was a joke. His wife sat quietly beside him as he clenched her hand in his offering him all the comfort he needed.Grace sat on the other side of the sofa leaning against paul her eyes red-rimmed and Paul held her close gently patting her shoulder while Ian stood be her side looking down at her from time to time looking worried.It paid to be the youngest member of their family.Her father on the other hand stood behind her mother his hands on her shoulders comforting her the best way he could.Aira on the other hand sat there alone as everyone wondered where her so sweet and loyal husband went at such an important moment.They were about to know why.The lawyer who sat before them cleared his throat as he pulled a piece of paper out of the envelope that he had been holding linking
His Reluctant Bride The last goodbye
There was one thing about goodbyes that Aira knew very well. And that it was a form of closure that people seek in order to make peace with the person they were never going to see again. And also with the part of them, that was attached to that person.Aira now was saying goodbye to both. And she knew that it was going to be hard, but she didn't expect it to be this hard.Standing before the coffin and away from it enough for her not to see the insides of it she remained rooted in place for a while fear gripping her heart like a vice.Her mind was like a rollercoaster of emotions and thoughts and she even started trembling again.But then she remembered."I am proud of you." That's what her grandmother had said back then.As if her mind calmed down all of a sudden from the turbulence of a storm to the calm of a sunny morning by the beach, Aira slowly stepped toward the coffin where her grandmother was laying peacefully looking like she was simply asleep. And maybe she was, but her sle
His Reluctant Bride Funeral
A few days later, Aira sat down in the second row as she watched her mother present her eulogy. She felt drained and cried out. In the three days since her grandmother died, Aira had been doing very little.Other than painting or staring at the painting, she spent half the time crying and the other half trying to suppress her tears. Her family was grieving and each time she found her mother sitting in a corner crying by herself, she felt her heart break a little more as she went to try to comfort her.She was tired. So tired that she felt like she was going to sit anywhere and fall asleep as soon as the funeral was over.She felt a hand sneak around her waist and pull her sideways against a muscular chest. Grateful for the support, she didn’t tell Vincent anything. She didn’t need to.He had been hovering over her since that day but she couldn’t say that his presence bothered her. Sometimes she barely noticed his presence but most of the time, he would always be in the right place at
His Reluctant Bride Struggles
Aira opened her eyes after a few hours from her nap feeling rested and peaceful for the first time since she discovered what Vincent had done.Jumping out of bed, she could barely fight the urge to take the brush into her hands. So without stopping to think about anything and like a lunatic with an illusionary fire chasing after her, she changed into her jeans not bothering with a new shirt, and made her way toward the workshop.Opening the door. She headed toward the untouched painting left as she had left it before the butler had come to get her.A bang in her chest sobered her but she still made her way toward it and stared at it for a few moments before she picked up a new brush and started mixing the colors and preparing for everything.After a while, she was already painting the rest of the painting unaware of what was going on around her.Vincent came barging into the room at some point and she looked at him absently wondering why he looked so worried. Then he sighed in relief
His Reluctant Bride Truce
Vincent stood by the door and watched as Aira’s family fussed over her. Her mother and sister were hugging her tightly as they cried and her uncle stood away awkwardly as her father spoke to him clearly giving him a piece of his mind about what he said to her.“Thank you for finding her,” Ian said as he came up to stand beside him, “Amongst all of us, she is the one who has the hardest time.” He said.“I know. They were pretty close together,” He said with a smile his eyes never leaving her.“They were. Which is probably why she sold the mansion to you. She wanted Aira to have it one way or another.” Ian said and Vincent remained silent for a while not bothering to answer that comment.“She told me that you had a fight. She seemed upset over it, I was wondering if she would agree to come with you.” Ian added and this time Vincent looked at him.“I was wondering the same too. To be honest, I screwed up pretty badly this time and I wouldn’t have been surprised if she had refused. I had
His Reluctant Bride Running Away
Aira stood there in front of her mother and uncle staring at the table.“Honey, I know how hard this-““No. You can’t do this to me,” she muttered.“You have no choice, Aira, you’re an artist, you need to finish that painting. It was her last wish,” Her uncle said in a hard tone.“No!” She screamed and they were both taken aback, she took a step back startled at her own outburst.“No… I- I mean…” she stuttered taking a few steps back feeling stares on her piercing through her skin.Suddenly she felt overwhelmed, dizzy, and out of air. She wanted to throw up.“Aira, honey, are you okay?” Her mother asked looking at her with concern Aira took another step back when her mother reached out for her.“Don’t touch me…” she said dazed and her uncle stood looking at her with confusion.“Are you like this because we asked you to finish the painting?” He asked and she felt the mocking tone in his voice.“Don’t talk to me,” she gritted out glaring at them, then she turned around to find everyone l
