The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury Shaken
Samuel stood there, unable to move his legs. Usually, he would be turned on by seeing a woman naked in the shower…in his own bathroom, but this was something entirely different.This was a different scenario.Samuel had never seen anything so scary in his life. He had also been through a lot of hurdles growing up, but there was nothing like these scars on him. How in heaven’s name did Ciara acquire such cruel scars? They spoke of nothing but cruelty and misery; something like what Samuel had only seen during art exhibitions, and even at that, he had often thought that the artists who put up such things are either sadists or they were missing something in life.And here he was, staring at them in real life.The gruesome marks cut across Ciara’s back like welts. Samuel remembered seeing some of them on her neck the other day at his penthouse, but they had been in a flash, and he had not thought much about it after that, although he had hoped to confront Ciara about them later, but other
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury Heated
Ciara grabbed a chair and sat close to Aunt Mary’s bed. She had dried herself and even applied some strawberry flavored hair shampoo and oil to add to her sweet scented perfume. Samuel had told her, not that he explained explicitly, that Aunt Mary needed everything good and nice to feel better, and so Ciara had put up her best.She hadn’t used those lovely scented things for weeks now. In fact, she had almost forgotten that she had them, but thankfully, she could still use them; anything to make Aunt Mary feel better.“Hi, Aunt Mary, I am here,” Ciara started with a shaky voice. She had never done this before, and being used in such a way was new to her. She did not know exactly what to do or say, but since her presence might make Aunt Mary feel better, Ciara was willing to try, although she hoped that Aunt Mary would not sense her uneasiness.Tears welled up in Ciara’s eyes as she watched Aunt Mary lying almost lifeless on the bed. It must really suck to just watch your life ticking
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury Her Own Deal
Ciara and Samuel stared at each other, their breath mingling with each other’s. Ciara’s heart beat heavily. Of all the things Samuel could ask, she had not expected this particular question, because she had done a fair job at hiding them.“What…what are you talking about?” Ciara chose to feign ignorance, and it seemed to infuriate Samuel even more.“Don’t play dumb with me, Ciara Summers. I am sick and tired of your little lies and dirty manipulative games,” Samuel breathed out. They were so close to each other that they could literally see themselves through each other’s eyes. “Pretending or lying would be pointless, so the earlier you start talking, the better for the both of us. Tell me all about your scars, because I know they exist already.”Know? Know? Know! Ciara’s mind picked up the situation at hand as fast as possible. She had been in a lot of tricky situations to know that Samuel Fury was not speaking out of ignorance or mere speculations, and the fact that he said he knew
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury A Bigger Problem
“We have a bigger problem on our hands now,” Ruby admitted finally as they all sat in their living room and deliberated on the information they had gotten from the local hotel receptionist, Lottie.Linda became agitated at the sound of her mother’s voice. Ruby’s confidence and ability to handle every kind of situation always boost her confidence in such a way that no one knew. So hearing her speak that way meant that they were actually in a deep shit.“We cannot let this happen, mum,” Linda said. She willed her voice not to come off as shaky and scared, but she could barely handle that.Ruby turned and looked at Linda when she sensed the fear and agitation in her voice. “Uh, sweetie, come here,” Ruby said tenderly.For a moment, Linda was surprised. She grew up to take Ruby as her mother, respecting and looking up to her, as well as doing her bidding and trying her best to fill her shoes, but one thing Linda had lacked from Ruby was emotional understanding and support. Whenever Linda
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury An Usual Invitation
Ciara sat beside Aunt Mary and hummed gently. She took her hand in hers and caressed it tenderly. Aunt Mary’s hand was soft and frail, as though it would break from just holding it.“It has been two days now, and we are hoping that you would surprise us and open your beautiful eyes,” Ciara said as she stared at Aunt Mary with a warm smile on her face. She figured that feeling pity or scared for Aunt Mary would not help at all.If she was truly going to get a good result from this, it had to be from a place of warmth and love, not pity or anything like it.Ciara was now doing this, not as a job or threat, but from the depth of her heart, because she wanted Aunt Mary to get well, especially now that Samuel Fury had accepted her own part of the deal. He had been worried about Ciara telling the story of being watched while bathing that he had agreed to help Ciara use his connections to make those allegations go away.“Anybody can have power over anyone, as long as you have them in a situa
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury Caught
A reconciliation dinner, Ciara thought to herself. She could not shake off Ruby’s invitation. It was the first time she had heard Ruby sound so genuinely nice and polite.Ciara swallowed the rest of the food in her mouth, dropped the food, and got up. “Why?” Ciara could not help but ask.“Like I said, dear, my husband and I had a long talk about you, and we realized how horrible we have been to you. You did not deserve any of it. We are sorry, and we would like a chance to rebuild a better relationship with you,” Ruby said. She sounded as though she was at the verge of tears to Ciara.Something was definitely going on, because even when Ruby forcefully took Ciara away from her mother, she had not been the least remorseful about it. “Please, do not say no to us,” Ruby pleaded.Tears gathered in Ciara’s eyes. For years, especially after she was separated from her mother, all thanks to Ruby, she had yearned for the love that a family gave. Even growing up, she had loved the idea of a fu
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury The Test
Samuel stopped kissing Linda who became weak in the knees. “We should do this more often,” she purred and reached out for Samuel’s hands.But Samuel stared down at her with an unreadable expression. He allowed Linda to hold him, and in return, squeezed hers. “You came unexpectedly. We…I wasn’t expecting you,” Linda said as she stretched her neck towards the gate.There was a feeling of agitation about her, and Samuel was sensitive enough to notice. “Are you expecting someone else?” Samuel asked as he also turned to look at the gate.“Um, no, not at all. I am just surprised to see that you came to see me, and the kiss, of course,” Linda said with excitement mixed with apprehension. “How is the baby?” Samuel asked.“What baby?” For a minute, Linda was confused, but she was quick to pick herself up. “Oh, yeah, about that, I am doing just fine. Do you mind coming in?” Linda asked trying to patronize Samuel.“No, I would like to take my leave now,” Samuel said and before Linda could try
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury Almost Got Caught!
Samuel knew now that Linda was not the woman he spent almost the entire night with. Aside speaking with Jess and getting an eye-opener about it, his test proved everything. There was no feeling at all. There were no signs that Linda was the woman.Samuel clearly remembered that that night, as he had gone close to the woman, there had been something he had felt; something that he still hadn’t been able to put into words. “Are you a dying man?” she had whispered to him.Recalling the sound of her voice now, it sounded nothing like Linda Luscious. “Why hadn’t I thought of this from the outset?” Samuel berated himself.He felt like a complete mess.“Don’t ask me silly questions,” Samuel had barked at her, thinking she was the call girl that had been arranged for him.“I am sorry, I just wanted to know,” she had said.Although it had been dark, Samuel had known that she had tears in her eyes. All the few times Samuel had spent in the presence of Linda, she never came off as someone who wo

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
