Synopsis. Five years after the devastating incident that took her joy away, Bruna Clayton had just one goal in life: to take revenge on the man behind it, Caden Woodman, who was set to be the next president of the country. She couldn't bear to see him live his life to the fullest, while she suffered. After a one-night stand with Caden Woodman, she tricked her way into his life with pregnancy. Unknown to her, Caden's mother asked Caden to marry Bruna because she didn't want a bastard grandchild. Expecting him to be cruel to her, as she had heard, he surprised her by being the opposite. He promised to take care of the baby. What happens when Bruna finds the daily actions of her enemy heartwarming and evoking feelings in her? Would she push forward with her revenge or let her growing feelings for him take over?
Lihat lebih banyakCadenI didn't have it in me to sit for dinner today. I had a lot of shit I needed to figure out.After making the call, I made my way inside. I stopped at the door when I saw my mother gently rubbing her hands up and down Bruna’s back. Her other free hand was pushing a glass of water into her hands, urging her to drink.Without so much as a thought, I shoved my phone into my back pocket and made my way to them."What happened?" I demanded. My hand moved to the table and shifted the plate of food that was in front of her. I frown at the dish of vegetables. That was too much food. Though I understood that pregnant women needed to eat a lot, but that was a lot given that she wasn't even a month gone yet. My hand moved to her back as I gently rubbed it, just like my mother was doing. She took off her hand and retracted the half-full glass of water.She hadn't even drunk much of it. "She choked on that corn." My mother pointed at the half cob in the dish of seafood like some unwanted ite
I pulled over in front of the two-storey building. I stepped out of the car and moved to the passenger seat. I took out the two heavy bags of groceries I had bought. I closed the door with my feet, since my hands were occupied.I stopped short at the sight of the entrance. Was he at home or still in school? Pain ripped through my heart at the thought of going back home – a home that wasn't mine. A home that I will be sent out from if my secret came out in the public.Still, I had promised July that I would visit today and I liked keeping my promises. One of which was to finish Caden Woodman and his family.I shook the thought out of my head and made my way forward. I nodded at a few neighbors in front of their doors.It wasn't a classic hostel, but it was a decent place to live. I went to the stairs, taking two at a time. My eyes glanced at the wall. Some of the paint was already flaking off. It needed painting, but some landlords would tell you they didn't have money, making me wo
Chapter 6Bruna. I knew I shouldn't have told off July like that. But thinking about Keenan wasn't what I needed at the moment. He was my son, yes, but it had been years that I set eyes on him The sight of him reminded me of the past I tried so much to forget. I didn't want to focus on that.What I wanted right now was to focus on what was at hand. To get close to Caden. Get him to trust me in whatever way possible, get his family to trust me ,make them believe that there was a child growing up in me. And from the looks of things, Caden seemed to be more concerned about the child and would do anything for it. And that was exactly what I wanted to focus on right now.I pulled the blanket off my body and let out a loud yarn. I squinted my eyes at the sunlight hues that entered through the transparent white curtains that shielded the floor-to-ceiling windows.I took my hairband from the nightstand and wore it. I stepped to the bathroom and quickly did my morning routine. By 7
Bruna.“What would you like to eat?” Caden asked, typing on his phone as we drove home.“Didn't you say we couldn't eat outside of the house?” I brought my little bottle of water to my mouth and took a sip. He had told me we couldn't eat outside of the house when I told him the baby was hungry. He cocked a brow at me like I needed to answer him without asking questions.He waved his phone in the space between us “I want to call home and ask them to cook you something before we arrive.”Oooh! “Is that care I hear in your voice?” I smirked, pressing the bottle of water against my chest in a shy-like manner.“Funny..” He scoffed. “I only care about my child.” He dialed on his phone and looked at me. So I gave him what I wanted to eat.“Toast, mixed spicy vegetables, beef stew, white rice and tomato sauce, vegetable salad, chicken soya… and don't forget to add fruits.”By the time I finished naming them, his eyes were on me, phone over his ear. “Isn't that too much for one person?” He
CadenI enjoyed the life I was living. I didn't want to get caught in a union called marriage. I wasn't ready for it. But my mother had to make me marry a stripper; a girl I had only met once. She could be lying for all I know. Someone could have planted her in my life. That's why I told Anthony this morning to keep an eye on her after she came home with a red and swollen cheek. She had told me she fell down the stairs while she was at her home. That didn't look like something caused by a fall. I would have asked Lucas about it, but I didn’t want to. The guy and I met occasionally and we're not close like before.My mother has always wanted me to get married but I didn't know it would be something like this. I knew her sole reason was because she was from the King's family.The next morning, I sat in my office, when a knock came on the door.“Come in.” I said.Bruna pushed the door open. A familiar looking silver tray in her hand. Her brown hazel eyes, which looked familiar somehow
BrunaThere was a little reception party at home, with just close family members. And a few friends of Marigold. The only people I had here were Luna and Lucas.“How will you move forward from here? You are not pregnant. What if they find out?”Luna asked as she joined me up the stairs. We both looked down at the few people eating and chatting on the down floor.“I will figure a way out.” I shrugged. If I was able to make my way up here then faking pregnancy till my mission was complete wouldn't be a problem.“I see. Remember you have dues to pay and that car, I have to use it tomorrow.” She tapped me on the shoulder before making her way downstairs.Great. I forgot I was using burrowed stuff. I met Luna at Wisteria Academy of Fine Arts; a fashion design university. At the time I was looking for ways to get close to Caden. When I learned her brother used to be friends with Caden, I had to approach her and make friends with her…My phone suddenly lit up in my hands indicating a text
Bruna My eyes scanned the different delicacies in front of me. Across the table, was Caden's mother and younger sister. Marigold and Phoebe respectively. None of them have been able to lift their spoons to their mouth as they occasionally stared at me. Phoebe, on the other hand, looked as though she would stab me with the fork in her hand if given the opportunity. For that reason, I haven't been able to eat as well. Caden had sent his swat of guards to pick me up in a convoy of black Rolls-Royces. I had no idea he would ask them to bring me to his family residence. When they did, the first thing I was welcome with was a table filled with food. “Are you pregnant for my brother, or is this some kind of scheme to take money from him or make way for yourself?” Phoebe dropped her fork on her plate and bridged her hands on the table. Her eyes were on me with pure contempt glinting in them. I picked a piece of watermelon with my fork. I brought it up to my face and examined i
Bruna Here I was, five years after what happened to my family. My hands clenched into tight fists as I looked up at the tall building a few meters away from me. Anger rumbled in my chest as I moved forward. Revenge was what I sought after. Caden Woodman needed to have his own fair share of what I went through after what he did to my family. I walked into the reception and headed straight to a blond lady sitting behind an Apple desktop. Her hair was held up in a high bunny tail. She seemed to be doing something on her phone as her head was down. Sensing someone was in front of her, she lifted her head, and the first thing I noticed was her long and thick lashes. "Good evening, Miss..." She dragged out the 'Miss' and looked at me, probably expecting my name. "Bruna King." I offered with a slight smile. "I'm here to see Caden Woodman. I said before she could start the normal routine check. Her hand, which was on the mouse, stopped working as her eyes found my face with a lot of
