The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury Tip For Trouble
“Never did I think this was going to work,” Ruby said as she sipped from her glass of wine. She raised it in a toast and Linda reciprocated, a coy smile playing on her lips. “I think you have grown better with scheming and strategizing,” Ruby applauded Linda.Linda smiled with pride as she also drank from her own cup of wine. She had waited for the day almost all her life. A day where Ruby would eventually come to the realization that she was just as good as Ruby could ever be, or even more. For years, Ruby, especially had taken Linda for granted. She had always wanted to scheme things through, but Ruby believed that it was better to do it herself.“I learned from the best,” Linda said as she returned her toast. The two women, mother and daughter stared at each other with admiration. “When dad informed us that Samuel Fury was seeking a personal pregnancy test, I almost panicked,” Linda said with a light chuckle. Ruby hissed. “I hate to say this, but Colt can be a little annoying so
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury A Mistake
Ciara stumbled blindly towards the Luscious residence, but she stopped short when she noticed Samuel Fury’s nurse sneaking out of the premises.Ciara was shocked. She stood there and watched the nurse enter into a cab and drive off. Although she wore a casual outfit and bent her head low to avoid recognition, but Ciara would know her any time, and from whatever distance. In fact, since the day she assisted Ciara in making the doctor not tell Samuel about her pregnancy, she had memorized the Nurse’s face. The question now is, what is she doing sneaking out of the Luscious residence?After the altercation with Samuel, Ciara had stormed out of the penthouse. Luckily for her, the door had been left unlocked, so she had access to leave, and as she left, the only thing Ciara wanted to do was visit her mother’s grave and cry to her. She wanted someone to talk to, and her mother was the only person she knew could openly talk to and pour out her heart.Her mother was the only person, dead or
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury Danger Zone
“Let me help you, miss.”Ciara felt someone grab her hands tenderly. The voice was oddly familiar, and even though the hold was gentle and sent a message of help, the person’s palm was coarse, way stronger than Ciara’s palms. Ciara had no choice now as she allowed the person lead her away.“I really need water to wipe my eyes,” Ciara cried. She felt as though she had already gone blind with the aching pain she was feeling deep inside her eyes. Her body was also feeling sticky as a result of the wine Ruby poured on her, and if Ciara hadn’t struggled her way out of the house, they both might have connived together and emptied the entire wine bottle on her body. “Of course, miss. Who did this to you?” She asked as she continued to lead Ciara somewhere.“I just need water,” Ciara cried. Until she cleaned her eyes and felt better, she would not be able to answer any silly questions, especially from strangers. “Where are you taking me?” Ciara asked. She had just realized that what seemed
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury His Capability
Ciara entered the penthouse with Samuel. She was shivering, but it had nothing to do with cold. She could not shake off the encounter of what almost happened to her. Everything happened so fast even before Ciara could wrap her head around it.“Thank you,” Ciara said quietly.She noticed that since they got in, Samuel had been looking at her in a weird way. He had seen her scars, well, some of them, and now, he knows a part of her demons, and she knew deep down that Samuel had a lot of confrontations with her.“What I would like is an explanation to things,” Samuel said sternly. He looked and sounded angrier than when he had stormed into the alley, scared the inmates out of their wits and saved Ciara.Ciara opened her mouth, but no words would come out. She did not know where to begin, or maybe truthfully, she did not want to share that part of her life with him.“I need some money,” Ciara stated instead.Samuel became infuriated. “What do you need money for again?” He demanded harshly.
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury Her Mother's Wish
Later that night, Ciara stayed in bed and sobbed bitterly. Samuel Fury succeeded in making her quit her demand by his last statement. In truth, Ciara had no idea how she got released the second time, because the correctional officer did not inform her, but with Samuel’s words, she could not doubt it, because she knew quite well that he had the capability to do so.Those words alone were enough to make Ciara succumb, because there was no way in heaven she was going back to prison; not if she could help it. The terrors in Ciara’s life in prison were out, but Ciara knew that they were not the only ones that bullied her while she was in prison. There were several others, but those had just been random bullies, but these two definitely had something against Ciara to make them want to kill her so badly.Unfortunately, she would not be able to visit her mother’s grave and cry to her like she had intended, and this was why Ciara soaked the bed and pillows with hot tears. No amount of tears wou
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury How Well Do You Know Her?
Samuel waited patiently for his mother in the living room. He had a thousand and one thing running through his mind, but the top of that list is Ciara Summers. Samuel readily accepted his mother’s wish, because he would do anything to make her happy, especially now that he had limited time with her, so when she had come up with the most ridiculous wish, he had jumped on it without questioning anything even though Ciara had been nothing but stubborn and unyielding at the initial stage.Now, and with all that had happened recently, Samuel needed some answers, and since he wasn’t getting them from Ciara, he would get them from his mother. Samuel’s only concern and fear was that Ciara Summers could even be someone his mother did not really know about.Samuel had always known that his mother was a compassionate woman who was too quick to take pity on anyone at all. Sitting in the living room even brought Samuel harsh memories that he would have wanted to remain buried forever, but he had
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury Her Savior
Samuel’s question dragged Aunt Mary down ugly memory lane.She had been in her cell when a younger girl had been shoved into the cell of the two most dangerous female prison bullies as their cellmate. Aunt Mary had been devastated as well as upset. Barely days ago, a girl just as young had also been put in their cell as their cellmate, and when they had begun bullying her, Aunt Mary had turned a blind eye.She had been feeling really sick, and as a result, her doctor had warned her to stay away from anything that would trigger her illness, and so that was what Aunt Mary had been focused on, but she had seen firsthand how they had bullied the young girl whose name Aunt Mary never knew.At night, the girl would cry and cry, and Aunt Mary would try to block out her cry of anguish and pain, but no one came to her rescue. The other inmates simply minded their business or concerned themselves with something else, and the correctional officers were unaware of this because they had warned her
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury Her Past
Samuel now understood why his mother had taken it upon herself to protect Ciara Summers at all cost and ensure her safety and happiness, because she felt connected to Ciara’s pains. What Samuel did not understand was how Ciara got herself into prison.“If Ciara is so pure and innocent like you have said, how come she went to jail?” Samuel could not help but ask. He had had a couple of questions to ask his mother, but her little sob narration of how she met Ciara Summers only aroused more questions in him.“She does not like to say, but she was framed by the family that raised her,” she said.“What family?” Samuel asked.“Ciara should be the one divulging this information about herself, not me,” Aunt Mary said. In as much as she loves her son with every fiber in her being, she loves Ciara Summers just as much. Ever since they met, an undeniable bond was struck between them, and Aunt Mary knew that she was going to spend the rest of her life protecting Ciara. She also knew the kind of

The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury Unmoved
Samuel arrived at the police station in his own car, following the cops. He was boiling with anger, but his anger was to Colt, and not the cops, because they were simply doing what they were asked to do.“What is the meaning of this?” Samuel asked the moment he got into the office he was invited into before. The head cop signaled to Samuel to sit down, and although Samuel sat, he was still upset. This was the second time in a couple of days that he was being invited to the hospital, and he was no longer finding it a joke.“Mr. Fury, we have a lot against you,” he told Samuel.“How do you mean?” Samuel asked, not bothering to mask his anger. “I was here the last time, and you asked me to go, so what is this about?” Samuel demanded gruffly.“Our interrogation the last time was inconclusive, and we informed you about this, so inviting you back here shouldn’t be strange, or even rile you up,” the head cop said, saying the last words with caution.“You do know who I am, right?” Samuel thr
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury Be Careful Of Him
Ciara waited for Samuel to return, but he seemed that was not happening any time soon. She had woken up much later after a disturbing dream, and had found the penthouse very empty. For the first time, Ciara found herself lonely in Samuel’s absence. Maybe it was because of the moment they shared together before she fell asleep, but she could not exactly tell.Then there was the deal with Rudge. Although he was yet to call her back, Ciara still did not want to take chances with him. This was her only opportunity to know about what happened, and contrary to Samuel’s belief, Ciara was certain that he truly had something to tell her. If there was anyone aside from the Luscious family who knew exactly why she went to prison, it would be an employee of theirs, especially the one that worked closely with Linda.All the years living with and knowing Linda Luscious, Ciara knew that she was full of shady and dirty things. There were always skeletons in her cupboard. So now that Rudge had called
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury Loyalty
So you two created a gang behind my back,” Samuel questioned Kingston after Quinton had left.He intentionally stayed in the study while Quinton sorted out her things and left. Samuel would not go back on his words; he had already fired her, and that was it. Right now, he was even angry with everyone. So while he was struggling to put things in place and make things work out for him, his own employee had been sabotaging every move by reporting to Ciara. Now he understood why he was always seeing her staring at him weirdly; she had been eavesdropping on him every minute and reporting back to Ciara, which was why she had been able to stay two steps ahead.Now he felt like a horrible fool.“What is it with Ciara that everyone just wants to protect her?” Samuel asked himself in frustration. From his mother to his own employee, who was even trying to recruit his driver into the league. For the life of him, Samuel could not understand the hold that Ciara Summers had on everyone else. His
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury I Failed
Linda had locked herself up in the room ever since the scandal. She could not even bring herself to go anywhere as close as downstairs, because she did not even want to deal with curious stares from the employees. Not only had she been skipping meals, she had also been avoiding her parents, especially her mother, because she could not deal with any firm of judgments right now.In truth, the Luscious mansion had been somewhat gravely quiet ever since. Linda was a nervous wreck as she called Hayes. She had been calling him almost every ten minutes, but she could not bring herself to stop.“Anything else?” Linda asked the moment the call connected.“No, Linda. He has been in the main house for hours now. Maybe he has called it a day, and I think I should too,” Hayes said, sounding tired.“Don’t you dare move from there!” Linda barked. They had missed Samuel for days, unable to trail him, because he had gone to hide somewhere unknown, and Linda had quickly told Hayes where to find Samu
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury You Are Fired
Samuel got into the main house and flopped on the couch, extremely tired. From what he could see outside, all his domestic staff were in good shape and doing their jobs well, so Samuel closed his eyes and tried to take in as much rest as possible. He did not want to think much about anything for now; he just wanted to rest. If he could stay here for a couple of hours, and even take a nap in the process, he would be relieved, but shutting his brain off completely was not something he could do, considering all that was going on at the moment. He would need to take extra caution dealing with Colt henceforth, but Samuel could not tell if Kingston was now strong enough to get back to work. He knew he should have called Doctor Pedro to ask about Kingston’s improvement, but he had been swamped with things. Anyway, now that he was here, he would ask him personally. Samuel opened his eyes and looked around, and everywhere seemed quiet. Samuel was now used to catching Quinton standing by the
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury He Has Something To Hide
Samuel drove home, his mind muddled up in thoughts. It was a card he played on Colt, and like a mirror, he saw right through Colt.More than ever before, and for the very first time, Samuel was certain that there was something amiss. Colt could not even answer the last question he asked him. Samuel thought of going to the penthouse, but he changed his mind last minute. He hadn’t been to the main house in days now, and since he was still in charge of the Fury house and wealth, he needed to go there and ensure that everything was okay.Changing directions now, his mind went back to Colt Luscious. Samuel knew what he hadn’t known for years now; he was also a victim of Colt and Ruby’s games, but he could not exactly put the points together. All along, he had been worrying so much about understanding what was going on in Ciara’s life and trying to piece together bits and pieces of the things he knew, and he had no idea that he might also need to piece them together. Now, Samuel was begin
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury You Are Ungrateful
Samuel and Colt stared at each other for the longest time, each refusing to break the ice, and equally refusing to be less deadly in their stares.“You are ungrateful,” Colt said angrily.“How so?” Samuel asked, refusing to back down.If it was before, he would allow Colt Luscious to guilt-trip him into feeling like he needed to set things right.“I did everything for you, Samuel Fury. I showed up for you when no one else would. I became your benefactor when there was no one to even help you. I aided you to get back the Fury name and wealth, and what did I get in return?” Colt said, his eyes spitting fire.“Say how I fucking betrayed you, Colt, and stop beating around the bush,” Samuel stated bluntly, almost cutting Colt off. Colt ground his teeth in annoyance, and was also surprised at Samuel’s disrespectful tone.“You got my daughter pregnant!” Colt barked.“Did I?” Samuel asked, looking at Colt square in the eyes challengingly. “How am I certain that your daughter was the one I ha
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury About Time
Samuel had been in many uncomfortable situations, ones that required deep and intense emotions, but he had never seen anything like this, and deep down, he knew that there was still more that Ciara was yet to tell him.As he stood above Ciara and watched her, her words just kept floating through his mind. And to think he had actually believed Linda when she said that Ciara had come into their home to steal. Now, things were beginning to click together, piece by piece. How on earth did someone go through all that? A woman for that matter? “Thank goodness I did not end up marrying Linda,” Samuel said quietly. When he had arrived at the venue and had walked up to the altar, and had looked at Linda in that dress, he had just known that he could not go through with the wedding. Even if it was some sort of an arrangement, and nothing based on love, he just couldn’t. Even though he had wanted to marry Linda to get to know what was really going on, he just couldn’t, and now, he was grateful
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury Sob Story Time
There was a deafening silence after Ciara said Linda Luscious.Samuel felt as though he was hearing differently. Yes, he knew that he suspected something was off, but he had no idea, and now, he was even more confused.“Linda Luscious?” Samuel asked, wanting to be certain he was hearing rightly.“You asked who Rudge was referring to when he said ‘she’, right?” Ciara asked.Now, they were both seated on Ciara’s bed, quietly. It was the first time they would be having a conversation in this manner. All the times they had a conversation, they had always been talking in high tones, and throwing unpleasant words to each other.“Was she the same person the previous time when Rudge had contacted you and struck a deal? Samuel asked calmly. He could not even bring himself to shout. In fact, he was even struggling to ask questions that were not silly, because while they talked and he listened to Ciara, he was still trying to clear out his confusion.“Yes,” Ciara answered soberly.“How on earth d
