The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury They Meet Again
Ciara knew she was dreaming; it had to be a dream, because Aunt Mary was dead. The last thing she remembered was banging at the door, seeing the face of a harmless woman, and then passing out into unconsciousness. Aunt Mary stood by the front door of the cabin, glistening in the brightness of her dress, with a smile and gift basket that was securely wrapped, so Ciara could not see exactly what she had packaged in the basket.“I brought them for you,” Aunt Mary said.There was an aura of calmness about her that drew Ciara closer to her. Ciara returned Aunt Mary’s smile with hers. She could not feel any pain as she stretched her hands to receive the gift basket. Not feeling the pains made Ciara’s eyes open in alert. Her hands flew instantly to her stomach frightfully.“My babies!” Ciara yelled in fright, but Aunt Mary maintained a warm and pleasant smile.“They are fine,” Aunt Mary said. The sound of her voice brought so much peace and reassurance to Ciara’s entire being.“I brought th
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury Not as Safe as She Thought
Ciara has been dazed sine Martin’s last statement. She could hardly believe what she was hearing. She knew that Johnway was murdered, because she had seen his body herself, but she did not think that it was something this deep or related to her.“Who killed him?” Ciara managed to ask after a while.“The same people who never want you to know the truth about your dead mother,” Martin repeated.“I know that,” Ciara cut in. “You already said that. What I am asking is who these people are, because you know them, don’t you?” Ciara asked, looking at Martin.Martin looked away and Ciara did not understand why he could no longer look at her.“Who are they?” Ciara asked again, this time with more urgency than the first time but Martin still remained quiet, avoiding her eyes.“They murdered Johnway,” Martin said and burst into tears again. Lori started to console him while Ciara just stared like a zombie.“He always gets triggered when he thinks about what happened to Johnway,” Lori said to Ci
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury A Small World Indeed
Samuel was beginning to feel an ache in his head again after Colt and the cops left. He suddenly began to have an unsettling feeling about the decision he made; not on declaring Ciara guilty, because it was obvious that she was, but letting the cops handle it.If they got hold of Ciara before he ever did, he would never get his hands on Ciara, and that would make Samuel angry for the rest of his life. He could not still understand why Ciara chose the Luscious home to carry out her crimes. What led her back there? Samuel knew that a regular thief rarely visited the same home twice, so Ciara going back there just did not sit well with Samuel. Recalling the last conversation he had with Ciara, Samuel started to feel that there was more to Ciara’s story that she wasn’t telling him. She had told him plainly that she could not answer some of his questions even though he had tried to get them out of her. There had to be a story behind it all that Samuel didn’t know.And now, Samuel felt lik
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury Damn!
Samuel Fury held onto the stripper, not letting her go.“I know you,” he repeated. The stared intently at her, but trying to recall exactly where he had seen her was proving difficult.The stripper had a look of horror in her eyes. She was frightened to her bones, but Samuel had no intentions of letting her go until he fathomed when and where he knew her from. At first, Samuel thought that she was one of the thieves who had been in and out of prison, where he had found Ciara in an alley in their midst, because he was certain for a fact that she had to be connected to Ciara Summers.“I know you,” Samuel said yet again, this time around, with more certainty and emphasis.“You must have paid for my services before now,” the stripper answered, her voice shaking with fear and trepidation.“No, that is not it,” Samuel disagreed, shaking his head vehemently. He was not a frequent carrier of strippers, because unlike other men, Samuel was somewhat disciplined when it came to his sexual urges
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury A Heavy Heart
Ciara got into Samuel’s car and drove off in top speed after she stormed out of the cabin. She was enraged and embittered, and even though she had heard Lori’s voice calling out to her, she had paid deaf ears and driven off.Ciara was not foolish to drive back into the city, because she knew that the moment she did so, she would be caught, and that would be her end. There would be no Aunt Mary to save her or ensure that her son protected her.Thinking of Aunt Mary made Ciara to tear up. As she drove farther into the woods, she began to cry. Ciara just continued to drive and cry without looking at where she was headed. At the point, when she had driven far enough, and her eyes were clouded in regretful tears that she was finding it difficult to see clearly, she stopped the car and cried loudly.She had failed Aunt Mary. The impact of her passing hadn’t hit Ciara until now, and that had been because of everything that had been happening at that time, but now, it dawned on Ciara that she
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury A Woman Scorned
Ciara slept off in the car after her phone conversation with Quinton, which led her to crying for hours unending. “Oh my goodness, I really messed up,” Ciara had said to herself.While she had been consumed with finding out secrets about her past and fighting to know the truth about her mother who was already dead, Ciara had neglected the one person that genuinely loved her and treated her like a friend and daughter.Aunt Mary.Ciara had never felt this guilty about her actions this much. If only she had just allowed the situation with Rudge and Samuel’s hurtful words to fly over her head, she might have been there by Aunt Mary’s side. She would have dedicated every second and minute talking to Aunt Mary. Maybe she would have died anyway, because that had been her second relapse, but still, Ciara would have been there.“I should have been there,” Ciara scolded herself in tears. She would not also be in the middle of nowhere with a stolen car, crying her eyes out. Ciara was doomed, a
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury A New Proposition
Samuel had a restless night. He barely slept a wink the entire night; he was thinking of Ciara Summers.Not that Samuel had concluded that she was completely innocent; she still stole his car and disappeared, and she was still responsible for his mother’s death, an offense Samuel would never forgive her for. After Samuel was kicked out of the motel, he had lingered around for hours, but then again they had threatened to call the cops on him for trespassing. Samuel had intended to wait outside for Lottie to finish her shift and come out so that he could accost her, but he had been warned sternly.And Samuel was avoiding having anything to do with issues with the cops, so Samuel had left in defeat. But he had been more restless than he had ever been, and deep down, Samuel had blamed himself for not believing that Ciara was speaking the truth about lodging and spending the night in that hotel. And for Lottie to act that way when he confronted her, he knew that there was something fishy
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury The Villain This Time
Ciara’s bitterness and anger continued to grow as she watched them sleeping peacefully. How could they, or anyone at all sleep this soundly when Ciara’s world was crumbling to the ground? How could they be cuddled up in love when nothing worked in Ciara’s favor?Ciara knew that if she continued to be the victim, she would always lose. Her only dilemma was how to get two of them tied up so that she could carry out what she already planned in mind. Ciara suspected that Martin was not as weak as he displayed himself to be earlier, because the man she met in her hometown was nothing like what she was seeing now. Ciara thought of tying up Martin, because she felt that she could handle an untied Lori, but after thoughtful consideration, she realized that it was a terrible idea, because Lori had fooled her into thinking that she was friendly and innocent and harmless, so Ciara was not about to allow the fact that Lori was a woman fool her. Then if she tied up Lori, Martin might overpower he

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
