The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury His Calmness
Ciara was taken aback. It suddenly hit her that today was Samuel and Linda’s engagement party. She had heard Colt mention it the day before when she returned the money to the Luscious family.Linda, dressed in a stunning wedding gown with a diamond necklace and earrings, and a flower crown, looked like an angel. Compared to her, Ciara felt out of place. She was dressed in a white blouse covered in cinder block dust and a black skirt marred with scratches and lint.Ciara wondered why Samuel had invited her, making her feel foolish. A wave of anger surged within her. She faced Linda with a calm yet sad expression. “What am I doing here?”“You!” Linda snapped. “Ciara Summers, how dare you show up like this! Today is my engagement party with Samuel! You’re dirty and limping. Did you come here to ruin everything? Get out!”Linda’s engagement party was important to her. Samuel wasn’t fond of attention, so the party was kept low-key. The Luscious family found out only after her father asked
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury Price is no Object
The woman before Samuel had shed her worn pencil skirt and white blouse, transforming into a striking figure in a wedding dress and crystal heels. The heels, standing ten centimeters high, accentuated her already long legs and added to her imposing height of 170 centimeters. Although she had changed clothes, she hadn’t yet applied any makeup.Without makeup, Ciara’s natural, aloof beauty was striking. The wedding dress only enhanced her effortless elegance, as if she was untouched by the world. She met Samuel’s gaze with a blend of innocence and detachment, remaining silent.Samuel’s irritation flared unexpectedly. “What were you doing this morning? Do you realize you almost ruined my event?”Ciara responded with a direct question, “Is this our wedding?” She added quietly to herself, “I don’t need this wedding, and neither do you. You’re marrying Linda in two months. Holding this wedding now, in front of the Luscious family, would only make me their enemy.”Samuel’s frustration grew a
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury A Scare
Even though Ciara wanted to feel terrible, the joy on Mary’s face was enough to quell whatever ill feeling she might be getting. They would share a few light drinks before Mary returns to the hospital.“Don’t think all is well now,” Samuel whispered into Ciara’s ear. His voice was very cold, and he probably mistook the smile on Ciara’s face for acceptance; she was merely trying to sustain Mary’s happiness.Ciara’s comeback retort was just on the tip of her finger when Mary voice filtered to her ears. “Come darling, let us take some pictures. It might be the first and only family picture we would have.”“Mom, please do not sound that way,” Ciara started to say, but Mary waved her off.Ciara and Samuel stood behind Mary. They did not even realize that Mary had hired a private photographer. When Mary saw the surprise on both the faces of Ciara and Mary, she giggled like a happy teenager and said, “You did not think that a wedding would hold between you two and I would allow this moment b
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury A Tiny Favor
“Her vitals are good. Her pulse is responding. She will be fine.”Ciara heard the voice of someone faintly. She could feel warm hands on her skin; neck, eyes, chest, stomach. Even in her subconscious, she could feel the piercing ray of light deep inside her eyes. The last thing she could remember was talking to Mary…at her own wedding, right?Ciara stirred awake and when she opened her eyes, the blurry vision of a doctor and a nurse stood hovering above her.“Oh, she wakes,” the doctor said, his voice no longer a distant sound.Ciara swept the room with her eyes, taking in everything, and then it dawned on her that she was in a hospital. She was under examination. That realization made every unconsciousness disappear. She remembered what was at stake now.“How long have I been out?” Ciara asked the doctor who smiled at her along with the nurse.“For just a couple of hours, and you gave us quite a scare,” he chuckled lightly.“Us?” Ciara asked dreadfully, her fear creeping in on her.“
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury The Wish
Thankfully, the doctor had obliged Ciara and hadn’t told Samuel more than he needed to know. Few hours after that, Ciara was discharged, but she went straight to Mary’s ward.“You are here,” Mary said happily the moment Ciara entered her ward. Even though Mary’s nurse had told Ciara that Mary was awake, she had expected the woman to be resting.“Yes, I am,” Ciara said and settled beside Mary.“The doctor said something about an allergy, and I am just grateful that it wasn’t more than that,” Mary said genuinely. Ciara wanted to ask her if she had taken any drink at all, but it might arouse suspicion and even make Mary uneasy, which isn’t what she needs at the moment. There was no other way for Ciara to know, because asking Samuel wasn’t even an option, so in as much as she hated it, she would just have to let it go, the most important thing being that she did not lose the baby. Samuel entered the ward, and Ciara concluded that the man had a problem with knocking. Instead of berating
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury Hello
Ciara hadn’t seen or heard from Samuel since she eavesdropped on his call. Not that she was eager to see him, but the earlier she saw him, the better for her, because then she would be able make him cancel trip that she knew quite well neither of them was going to enjoy. “Would you like me to serve you some light snacks?” Aunt Quinton asked as Ciara paced about the living room of the luxurious duplex. Ciara shook her head almost immediately. “No, Aunt Quinton, I think I will pass,” Ciara answered flippantly because her mind was stationed elsewhere and her gazed firmly fixed on the door as though willing Samuel to stroll into the apartment. Then Aunt Quinton left.As if on cue, the door opened and Ciara looked on with anticipation, barely resisting the urge to rush over to the door and grab Samuel for showing up right on time. Kingston entered into the living room instead, making Ciara’s shoulders slump in disappointment.“Miss Summers,” Kingston started to say but then caught himsel
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury Mission Impossible
The hairs on Ciara’s neck stood up. She could feel dread sweeping through her entire nervous system, and Ciara knew even without turning that she was in danger. The breath of this person landed at the back of her neck, causing her chills.Carefully, Ciara dreaded to turn and look at whoever he was, to at least catch his face before he did whatever he wanted to do with her, but just then, she heard a beeping sound, and Samuel’s voice filtered to her ears.“You may come in,” and the moment he said that, the gate swung open, granting her access into the penthouse. Ciara turned, but the person had disappeared. It felt unreal, but she knew deep down that someone stood a few inches away from her barely a second ago otherwise she would not have felt his breath on her skin when he talked, and also, the creepy way he called her name. Her full name.Ciara hurried into the penthouse, and the gate shut firmly behind her. She felt safe now, but still, she could not shake off the feeling that the w
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury Failed Plan
Linda paced about impatiently and furiously. He was taking too long to get back to her. He was taking too long to show up, and Linda was almost bursting with anticipation.The sound of Linda’ heels clicked on the marble floor, and if it was possible for them to bore holes with the way she was pacing back and forth, the entire room would be perforated by now. She drummed her long manicured nails together, waiting.This bastard had better had a good explanation for this delay, Linda said to herself. He was the best at what he does, so why on earth was she so worked up. Linda’s phone beeped. She rushed over to it, thinking that it was either him or Samuel, and frankly, right now, she would not mind either of those. It has been difficult getting through to Samuel for hours now, and after their last argument, he had completely stopped taking her calls.She needed to do something. Even if someone was to win her over anything, especially a man, it should not be Ciara Summers. She would rathe

The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury We Need To Talk
It had been hours, and it was getting dark, Samuel was yet to return. Ciara became increasingly worried.She had eaten as many times as she had gotten hungry for, and did everything else, like launder her clothes, and hid in her room while she got it dried, but still, no sign of Samuel. “Where could he be?” Was the question that Ciara asked herself all day.Then she was beginning to regret falling asleep, but she could not have controlled it, even if she wanted to. As the pregnancy progressed, Ciara noticed that she had become easily hungry, tired, and sleepy now, and this really scared her, because it also meant that she might not be able to achieve most of what she wanted to achieve.Ciara was yet to visit the hospital and register for antenatal health care, and that was another problem that plagued her mind.It would be difficult to achieve, especially now that she was hiding out in Samuel’s penthouse, and was being sought by the cops.Ciara’s phone rang, jolting her out of her t
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury What You Need To Know
"That’s a joke, right?” Samuel asked Jess.“You know I only tease on the phone, and not physically,” Jess answered.She was right, and Samuel knew this. He was just overwhelmed by shock to believe what Jess said. Samuel turned and looked at where he parked his car, and everywhere seemed peaceful and clear. Jess’s place was very open, so it would have been easy to spot anything amiss.“You don’t think your trailer would still be right there waiting for you to see him or her, right?” Jess asked, shaking her head when she noticed that Samuel was looking around, searching for his trailer.“Now I know that you are lying, because you can’t even tell if it was a male or female,” Samuel said, wanting to believe his own words so that he would feel relieved.“It is a black Mercedes with tinted glasses,” Jess said, indicating why she couldn’t catch the identity of the person. “And unfortunately, I didn’t get the plate number,” Jess added.“Are you being serious, Jess?” Samuel said, confused and
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury Turn Around And Drive Down
Samuel got into his car and zoomed off, headed straight to the penthouse. He knew that Ciara might be worried about where he went, and also, he needed to tell Ciara about the recent development, and they did need to have a long discussion about what to do next. One thing that Samuel was grateful for was keeping his penthouse completely private, and even so, no one would ever be able to get in except he gave them the code.His phone rang, and when he looked at his screen, it was Jess that was calling him.“What have you found?” Samuel said the moment the call connected.“Slow down, mate!” Jess said, laughing. “Days ago, you weren’t so eager, so what changed?” Jess asked lightly.“Not everything is a joke, Jess,” Samuel said. There were a lot of things running through his mind, and the more he had knowledge of what was going on, the faster he could fix everything. “Don’t bite my head off,” Jess warned. “I am not one of your puppets, Fury, and you know I am not afraid of you,” Jess sa
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
