His Reluctant Bride Retirement
There was a lot of noise at first, everyone was talking. Her mother exclaimed and asked a million questions per second. She even heard pregnancy mentioned among those jumbled words.Ian expressed his surprise and Grace bragged that she already knew. And their father was telling them to quiet down.The only one who didn’t seem to be talking was her grandmother, who sipped from her glass slowly savoring the tasteless carbonated water, and Vincent who was standing beside her watching her family’s reaction with a comical smile.“I’m so glad my mom’s reaction was up to your family’s standard. I thought she overreacted but this is gold. She seems pretty normal now,”“Oh shut up,” Aira answered annoyed at her family and at herself for being the center of their weekly freak show yet again.Oh, what she could go through for these people. They would never know that she would even face their drama to save them.“Silence!” Her grandmother said in a booming voice that didn’t match her age.They al
His Reluctant Bride Forgotten Appointment
Aira tore up the page from her sketchbook and threw it into the bin beside her desk. The ripped paper landed on top of the mountain of papers and tumbled down until it landed on the floor making Aira even more frustrated.Nothing went her way these days, not even a torn piece of paper stayed where it was supposed to stay.She looked at the blank sketchbook before her, put her pencil to it, and after a few strokes, she sighed giving up and putting them down. She needed a breather before she started going crazy and destroying something.Her mind was still going on a loop since last night. Since her grandmother dropped that bomb on her like it was nothing, then went on having a casual conversation as if she hadn’t just shattered Aira’s world with those words.Since when was she thinking of retiring? She remembered the stubborn old woman going on about dying with a brush in her hand. So what prompted all this?Aira still had trouble processing the thought since then. She hadn’t been able

“... you will need to stay with your fiance for the time being,” The man talked as if it was the most normal thing in the world. It was... It was a normal thing for people in a normal relationship. "I will stop by tomorrow to start working. I can start with the attic renovations if you want," He said, "To give you time to move out,""No that's okay, I will make sure to move out by tomorrow,""Alright then, I will give your assistant a call once I'm here."Aira watched the contractor leave after he dropped his little bomb on their laps. Vincent closed the door behind him and looked back at her with a stunned expression on his face. “I can stay in a hotel,” He said,“It would look weird, you know that,” Aira answered, For some reason, she felt extremely queasy. Her head hurt and she was a bit foggy, she slowly made her way toward the kitchen stool to lean against it.“You’re right, not after we declared that we were getting married to our families and acted like lovebirds all the

“There you are, this is the last of your luggage,” Said carter as he put another box on the kitchen counter,“Thanks, man,” Vincent told him and made his way toward the counter to check the content of the box, “Great! I was wondering if I’d forgotten to pack this,” He announced as he pulled out some complicated culinary device.Aira stood there watching the two of them with one brush in her hand and a coffee mug in the other,“Uh, guys, am I missing something here?” She asked still looking at them with shock. “Oh! Aira! You don’t need to get out of your studio. I can take care of everything alone,” He told her with a smile as if what he was saying made perfect sense.Just a minute ago she had been peacefully working on the scenery she had been struggling with for days. It was finally coming together and she was having a lot of fun painting it on paper. Something she enjoyed doing whenever she needed something physical to do. A drawing tablet just didn’t have the same effect sometimes
His Reluctant Bride Fitting Session
“How did I not think about it?!” Meghan exclaimed as she slapped her thigh,“Stop moving around,” Paul grumbled as he tried to retake the measurement of her waist. But Meghan was having none of that. She leaned forward as if Paul hadn’t spoken and said,“Of course, they would end up being brothers. They have the same last time. Damn it! I knew that I was missing something,” She added“You mean a part of your brain?” Paul murmured and Meghan threw him a glare,“I’m going to stab you in the eyes with those pins you seem to like so much,” She told him and Paul lifted both hands in mock surrender as he stepped back.“You know what. I will wait until the gossip beast has gotten her fill. Aira get over here, I’m going to do you first,” Paul said and the two switched places as Meghan was still trying to find out as much as possible about this juicy piece of information.“So what did Nathan do to piss you off?” She asked“There was a time when Grace and I were watching a cooking show and we t

His Reluctant Bride Another Mystery
Aira woke up the next morning to find herself tucked into her bed. The place beside her was slightly bent indicating that she wasn’t alone in her bed that night.She remembered Vincent waking up at night and carrying her to the bed. She remembered him murmuring for her to go back to sleep.Her memory was hazy with sleep but she could tell that he had been by her side most of the time. She could still feel his presence near her.She got out of bed and slowly moved around the house preparing for her day.She found her breakfast ready as usual with a note from vincent telling her not to skip her meals. Since he moved in last week he had been taking care of her breakfasts and dinners. She’d talked to him about it since he was much busier than she was. But he had been unmovable claiming that it was the same as preparing his own meals.Since she’d fainted he had been paying close attention to what she was eating. He once suggested that she visits a nutritionist but she’d refused and he had

I was thinking about bringing with me one day so it was a good decision,”“You didn’t eat much. You’re not a fan of sweet food,””I’m not but I like watching you enjoy your sweets,” Vincent said with a smile and her heart skipped a beat.“I wonder if Nathan’s home,” she said looking around for any signs of her future brother in law. “ He’s probably asleep, he said that he had an early appointment tomorrow so he wanted to get enough sleep,” Vincent answered as he put the cake they brought with them in the fridge,“Did he have dinner?” She asked“He ordered takeout,” Vincent said, “ Do you still have a lot of work?”“I finished my deadline today, so i’m okay for now,” she answered not thinking too much about her answer.“I still have some work to do, you can head to bed first,” Vincent told her.“Alright,” Aira said, feeling relieved.

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 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

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
