The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury Blatant Lie
“That cannot be true!” Ciara cried out. She could not believe her ears. She was here barely twenty-four hours ago, and she was certain that Lottie had been the one who had attended to her, so what the heck was she saying about not knowing Ciara?“I don’t want a scene here,” Lottie said. She was struggling to keep her voice from trembling. “Perhaps there was another receptionist on duty when she came here?” Samuel asked. He was growing impatient as the seconds ticked by.“No sir, I am the only receptionist who has been working here all week,” Lottie said.“But it cannot be true that you do not recognize me, Lottie!” Ciara was confused and perplexed, and she deliberately mentioned her name so that she would know. How is it possible that a hotel, even though it wasn’t a luxurious one, would hire someone with dementia? Lottie’s gaze darted sideways again. Something was making her agitated, and now that she had denied Ciara, she could see that Lottie was a bit uncomfortable and restless.

“You are toast, Ciara.”Ciara could not get those cold words from Samuel out of her head. Everything had fallen more apart than she had anticipated. She had lost everything more now, and what was worse, she might end up in prison again, and this time around, forever. Nobody would be there to save her, and since she saw Samuel, he hadn’t said anything about his mother, Aunt Mary.Indeed, Ciara was toast.As they drove back to the city, Ciara could not help but think about how pathetic her life was. She was in a deep shit, and just when she thought she was doing any better or making headway, something just comes up and ruins it. Maybe she should have just let sleeping dogs lie when she realized that she did not even know what made her mother sick, but then again, she could not fault herself for letting curiosity get the better part of her.This was her mother they were talking about.The same woman that made her do the dirty thing she did with the supposed dying man as negotiated by the

Ruby had returned after taking the call and hearing Ciara’s frantic cry over the phone about her mother’s failing health and she had rushed Ciara’s mother to the medical house in Ciara’s hometown.“Why not a hospital?” Ciara had summoned courage and challenged Ruby when they had arrived at the medical house. With the worsened condition of her mother, she had thought that Ruby would take her mother to a big hospital where she would get better treatment and bounce back to life in no time. Ciara had been so worried about her mother’s health that what she saw on their living room table had almost evaded her.Before Ruby arrived at their house, that glass of liquid hadn’t been there at all, which then made Ciara think that that could be the reason why her mother’s health failed drastically. Granted, her mother had been sick, but she was still going about her daily activities, but after that visit on that particular day, she had just completely almost turned into a vegetable.“This is where

Ciara had arrived at the Luscious house with Ruby some hours later. After Ruby’s lame attempt at conversing with Ciara failed, she had completely given up, so they had had quite a quiet ride all the way.Ciara had looked at the building and thought it was big and beautiful compared to the one she shared with her mother, but she was not swooned. She would even pick the gutters to living in a mansion if her mother was not going to be there.“Welcome home,” Ruby had said tightly. Her voice was very hostile, and Ciara had noticed it the moment the words came out of her mouth.Now Ciara was certain that she hadn’t been imagining things when she had felt that Ruby’s kindness was faked. The words sounded more like “Welcome to hell” in Ciara’s ears. “This is not my home,” Ciara disagreed stubbornly. It was never her desire to come here, and as long as she remained here, she would continue to act in ways that would make Ruby and Colt Luscious realize that she did not want to stay. Ciara had f

Ciara had fallen on the floor and cried bitterly after Ruby had said those harsh words to her. She had rolled and cried and cried until she became weak and tired. “I still have a mother,” Ciara had kept telling herself hoping that as she did, some magic would transport her to her mother’s bedside that very minute, but of course, nothing like that happened.Ciara had continued to cry and wish for her mother. She was in a new house that felt like she was in hell. She could not still understand why Ruby had forcefully uprooted her from her mother’s side all the way here when she had known that deep down, she hadn’t even remotely liked Ciara or even wanted her to live in her house.What had Ruby meant by Ciara did not have a mother anymore? Before they left the medical house, her mother had definitely been weak and very sick, but she had been alive, because Ciara had spoken to her before they had left, and if Ruby had gotten a call from the doctor that her mother had died after they had l

Ciara had startled and jumped when Linda had called her an eavesdropper. Worse, Ruby and Colt had heard the sound and rushed out of their rooms. They had been shocked to find both Linda and Ciara outside their door.“She was eavesdropping,” Linda had immediately said the moment they came out.“It’s a lie!” Ciara had tried to deny it and set herself free, because she scowl she saw on Ruby’s face made her realize that she would be severely dealt with.“Into your room, right now,” Colt ordered Linda. Linda sulked and whimpered at the same time before stalking off to her room angrily. Ciara had also turned cautiously to return to her own room, but Ruby’s angry voice stopped her instantly.“And you, where do you think you are going?” Ruby had asked Ciara.“To my room,” Ciara had answered calmly while praying that they would let her off just as easily as they had let Linda off. In that moment, Ciara was not even thinking about the scary conversation she had heard from Ruby and Colt. Inste

Ciara took some seconds to wipe her red puffy eyes and gather herself. She had spent the entire ride remembering what she should have kept buried deep inside, but how could she? Ciara had known then that something was off, but now, she knew without a doubt that Ruby Luscious definitely had something to with her mother’s condition and all that Ciara had been through ever since, but unless she was able to come out with proof, she could not say a word about it otherwise it would be termed false accusation.But how would she ever be able to when forces just seemed to be blocking her every move?Samuel tapped at the car window where Ciara sat impatiently. From the tinted glass, she could see that he was very upset and impatient. What did Samuel mean by crying would not save her? Did he have intentions of dumping her at the station and leaving? He already thought she was guilty of an affair with Johnway and then his murder. He hadn’t interrupted Ciara’s cry all through the ride back to the

Ciara was stunned and confused beyond words. She did not understand what was going on.“Where are you taking me?” She asked Samuel but instead of responding to her, Samuel kept his face straight and hard. As she looked at him, she saw features of an angry man who was forced to do what he did.The only problem is that Ciara has no idea of the situation of things.She needed some sort of explanation. Ciara strongly believes that she deserves some form of explanations instead of just dragging her out of the station; which she was grateful for, because now Ciara was certain that she would not be sleeping in jail. At least not now.“What did you discuss in there with them?” Ciara was dying to know. It was good enough that she had been taken out of there, and it was something that she would not take for granted, but being given the silent treatment with a stoic expression just wasn’t making her feel at ease.“Kingston,” Samuel called gruffly.“Yes, sir,” Kingston answered from his driving p

The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury Just Blissful
Ciara heard a knock on the door and she went to open it without an iota of fear or dread; all her enemies have been put behind bars.Ciara got discharged from the hospital two days ago, and she was yet to make that call to Samuel Fury that she had wanted to make, because she was still dazed about the revelation.“The world is truly a small place,” Ciara had said to herself, breathlessly.Who would have thought that Samuel’s son would be birthed by the same doctor? Heck, who would have thought that the mysterious man that Ciara had spent that night with was Samuel Fury? Ciara trembled at the thought of telling Samuel that her son was his, because she fully believed the doctor even though she was yet to see Samuel’s left thigh, and that was primarily because they hadn’t been really intimate.Ciara almost passed out when she opened the door and found Samuel Fury standing before her. They stared deeply into each other’s eyes for a couple of minutes without saying anything, and Ciara could
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury The Birthmark
It had been several months now, and Ciara was glad that she hadn’t been found, because deep down, she knew that Samuel Fury would be looking all over the country for her. Her bump was big now, and the doctor she had begun seeing already told her that she would be due any moment from now. Ciara wanted Samuel to find her, desperately for that matter, but she knew that if she let Samuel find her without closing this chapter of her life, she would never be complete.Ciara was free now, and she knew this because she was lucky to be present at a coffee shop when Colt and Ruby’s court verdict was read. She wondered why Linda Luscious wasn’t also in the stand, but Ciara pushed that out of her mind.Her only goal and desire right now, before she had her baby, was to see her mother’s grave.“Coffee, as usual?” The coffee server asked Ciara.He was an elderly man who seemed to have seen better years, Ciara almost felt pity for the man, but then again, he seemed to be doing what he loved.“Yes,
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury Acceptance, Finally
“Mr. and Mrs. Luscious, you are both under arrest,” the cops rounded up Ruby and Colt in their home a few days later.“We did nothing wrong!” Colt tried to play defensive, but it was already over for them.“Martin and Hayes have testified against you, Mr. Luscious,” one of the cops informed Ruby and Colt.“What about our daughter, Linda?” Ruby asked.“Mr. Samuel Fury decided not to charge her, but the both of you must answer for your grievous crimes,” the cop told them.Colt and Ruby hung their heads in shame and sadness as the cops handcuffed them and took them away.A month later, Samuel sat in the courtroom, waiting for the judge to pass her verdict on Colt and Ruby. They looked devastated, but Samuel was not moved. As he sat there, he felt relieved that he would be getting the justice he deserved, as well as Ciara Summers. Jess had tracked Hayes down when he was trying to run away, and had handed him over to the cops. A lot had happened since Ciara walked away and never returned,
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury What Truly Happened
“It happened two years ago…” Linda began as her mind drifted back to that day years ago.Linda was involved with a perverted old man. This was all because of how reckless she had been living.“Why don't you show me some love toots?” The old man crossed the line, touching her in ways that were unacceptable.“Stop it...” She did her best to resist the man’s grip and the two engaged in a struggle. Eventually, Linda drove her stiletto heel into his skull. The man plopped to the floor completely lifeless.Linda’s heart pounded as she stared at the lifeless body, “He’s dead.” Linda covered her mouth after realising that she had taken the old man’s life.“Think Linda, now is not the time to panic.” She took a series of deep breaths to calm herself as she wiped off her fingerprints from the heel. “What do I do now?” After a while, Linda called her mother.“Mom...” Her voice was shaky.“What is it?” Her mother asked, a hint of worry was evident in her voice.Linda shared her current predica
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury Another Dead End
Ciara waited patiently for Rudge to show up in the location that he sent to her. She was not agitated. She was not afraid. She just wanted to be fully and completely free. When it would happen, she would no longer live her life in bondage, or under the mercy of anyone, but she would know what happened that exact day, and she would be completely free, because Ciara knew that she did not kill that man. Ciara was not even capable of murder, and what happened with Lori’s baby had been a huge mistake. Ciara hadn’t thought of it before now, but she was certain now that Linda and her parents framed her and caused her to spend time in prison for a crime that she did not commit. She wouldn’t be surprised, because several times, aside from the incident that happened on Linda’s twentieth birthday party, there had been other cases that Linda had lied on Ciara, and Ciara had taken the fall for Linda’s recklessness.The only problem was that Ciara did not know exactly what happened.Once Rudge tel
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury Almost Free
Ciara was still shaken from the whole episode that happened at the cabin. She had been dazed for hours now, unable to react at all. Martin had meant to kill her. He would have driven the sharp knife into her stomach, and then, he would have killed not just her, but also her baby. Martin hadn’t called her to confess a thing to her. Instead, he had tricked her into coming just so that he could avenge the death of Lori and their baby.Suddenly, instinctively, abruptly, Ciara got out of her shock. She looked around frantically; she was back at the penthouse. Ciara jumped up as though the couch she sat on had caught fire.“How did I get back here?!” Ciara asked no one in particular, because she was alone in the living room. “Samuel?” She called out, but no response.She continued to turn around frantically until Jess arrived from the kitchen, carrying a glass of warm water.“Who are you and how did you get in here?” Ciara asked Jess as though she was about to launch an attack on her.“Don
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury We Are All Fucked
“Miss Luscious, this is not a risk I would advise you to take,” the doctor said to Linda.It was still morning, and Linda had left the house without her parent’s knowledge, but she knew that she had to do what needed to be done. Linda was still angry with her parents, especially with everything that was unfolding, and it was beginning to dawn on Linda the severity of the situation.“I have to do something,” Linda had said to herself the night before, “Because I cannot go down with my patients, because I wasn’t even there when they did most of what they did.”Linda had begun to make escape plans. For days now, she had been starving, although she usually sneaked into the kitchen, but it was usually almost futile, because she only met crumbs of canned food. Linda could not make coffee to save her life, because she had helps around the house for those things, but now that they were all gone, Linda could not recall the last time she had a proper meal.“I am too young to go down with my par
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury To Avenge
Ciara entered the cabin, and she was met with an eerie silence that threw her off balance. At first, she thought Martin had tricked her into coming to the cabin, because it looked and felt oddly deserted. “Hello?” Ciara called out calmly, not wanting to be too loud so that Samuel who was outside would not get the wrong signal.It was late and quiet, which meant that any noise at all was liable to travel far. “Is anyone home?” Ciara asked, but she remained rooted in her spot.She could not bring herself to even check the other parts of the cabin to be sure that it was completely empty, because somehow, even though Ciara could not explain it, there was something dreadfully dangerous about the cabin. It did not feel like the cabin that hosted her some weeks ago.“Is anyone home?” Ciara called out again, but she was met with absolute silence.Then her shoulders dropped in disappointment; Martin had tricked her into coming here. When would this ever end? Why did it always feel like Ciara
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury You Are In Love!
Jess slipped into the car beside Samuel, replacing Ciara, and Samuel jumped in fright.“Jeez, you scared me!” Samuel said after he was able to catch his breath.“What is the fear for? You have been in worse situations, Samuel Fury, so why are you jumpy?” Jess asked and looked at Samuel, and she became more shocked when she saw that Samuel was visibly shaking and sweating. “Damn, Samuel, are you about to faint?” Jess could not help but ask.Jess looked at Samuel, seeing him vulnerable and scared to his bones for the very first time since she had known him, and it dawned on her that Samuel was this way, because Theresa went to the cabin on her own, in danger. There was no other logical explanation to why Samuel was acting as though he was being faced with death.“Oh, I see,” Jess said with a grin.Samuel looked at her, confused. “When you grin like that, you are being mischievous, and now is honestly not the time for that,” Samuel said, angry and irritated. “Don’t you read the room? Did
