The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury Double Plans
Samuel drove home sitting at the back of a cab that he had booked after his call with Ciara that left him feeling less like a man.At first, he had to find a discreet corner to have that call with her, because he did not want any nosy person even overhearing the conversation.“Damn her!” Samuel growled.Ciara Summers was definitely nothing like all the women Samuel had ever met in his lifetime, and he doubted that he would ever meet another woman that would measure up to Ciara. “Jess sure needs to take some lessons from her,” Samuel said.Growing up, Samuel had always thought that women were weak and fragile. His mother, for example, had folded her arms and let the Fury family treat her like trash. Samuel watched Mr. Fury treat his mother like an unfortunate mistress, and his mother took it in without fighting back or reacting. She never complained. Mrs. Fury, his wife had also known that her husband cheated on her with Samuel’s mother, but she wasn’t strong enough to fight back or l
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury Wedding Date Approved
“What are you doing here?” Samuel asked Linda as he reached for the shirt he had already tossed away when he got into the room.It was late, and he had completely forgotten that he left Linda in the house when he followed the cops to the station. “I was waiting for you,” Linda said as she entered the bedroom with permission from Samuel.She was wearing a light see-through lingerie, which made it easy for Samuel to see her lacy thong and bra. Samuel looked at her, but he was not turned on at all; even a stripper could turn him on, but somehow, Linda had never turned him on in any way, no matter how hard she tried.“Why?” Samuel asked harshly.Linda flinched at the tone Samuel was using to speak to her, but she regained her composure quickly, determined to see this through. “I was worried, that is why,” Linda responded. Samuel buttoned up his shirt, angry that he had been stopped from undressing and getting the rest that he deserved. It had been a hectic evening, and still, he had to
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury Back To Base
Kingston woke up feeling better and lighter. The painkillers administered to him really worked like magic.But Kingston wanted to be discharged badly. To him, he had stayed too long away from his duty, and Kingston feared that staying longer at the hospital would get him replaced. The only thing Kingston wanted was to always be alert and active for Samuel Fury.Kingston was already removing the hospital tubes plugged to his hand when a nurse walked in.“Hey, you can’t be doing that!” She said and rushed over to Kingston in alarm, trying to stop him from completely unplugging the tubes.“I want to leave, I feel better,” Kingston groaned.He tried to sit up, but she placed her hand on Kingston’s shoulder and pushed him back on the bed.“You have not been declared fit to be discharged,” she told Kingston, but he was not having it.“No, I am fine. I need to get out of here,” Kingston said, and they began to struggle.When the nurse realized that Kingston was almost overpowering her, she h
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury A Well Mapped-Out Plan
Ciara waited for Samuel’s call patiently until it was getting very dark. She knew that she shouldn’t rely on him, because after he agreed, they hadn’t spoken since then, but somehow, she just believed that they had a deal.Other than that, she had nowhere else to go.She was getting hungrier and thirstier by the day, and Samuel was the only hope she had now. Her hope for him was so strong that she was not even scared that he would go against their plans and hand her over to the authorities. Also, Ciara remembered what Quinton told her about the plans of Samuel, but somehow, she believed that she could work her way around Samuel.Samuel Fury she could handle, but certainly not the authorities. It was even by sheer luck that she had escaped the cop that night.Then Ciara’s phone rang, jolting her out of her thoughts. It was Samuel, the long awaited call.“Hey,” Ciara said breathlessly.“My penthouse,” Samuel said the instant the phone connected.“What?” Ciara asked, confused. Her mind w
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury Interrupted!
Kingston followed Quinton, desperately seeking information. After she had taken him to the pantry and said she had wanted to have an important discussion with him, Quinton had barely started when the drugs given to Kingston began to have its effect on him.Kingston had passed out right there in the pantry.Quinton had to implore the services of the other bodyguards to help her take Kingston to his room in the staff quarters, and he had slept right through the night.Then in the morning, Samuel had woken up really early. Although he had a restful night, he woke up with the plan he was to make with Ciara that day, and that was when he decided again that the penthouse was the best place.He came down earlier for dinner, making Quinton shocked. Samuel had been aggravated by Quinton’s startled state, because she acted as though there was something he needed to know.“What is it?” Samuel growled angrily.The sound of his voice told Quinton that he was not cut out for any of her silliness th
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury Face To Face
“Why would he do this to me?” Ciara grumbled in disappointment and frustration. “I knew I shouldn’t have trusted him!” Ciara chided herself. “Once an enemy, always an enemy.”Ciara hit her hand to her head in frustration. She had made such a foolish move, and now she was paying dearly for it. Who the heck turns around and trusts the same person who has been antagonizing her all this time? Only a fool would.“And I have been nothing but a fool!” Ciara told herself.She should have known that Samuel had something up his sleeves when he agreed to her deal without hesitation. The Samuel that Ciara knew would disagree vehemently, or argue about it at most, not just agreeing as though she was promising a little child candy in exchange for something meaningless or useless.“How did I not see this? How did I fall for it?” Ciara questioned herself.But then again, she was desperate to get out of the woods, so even if anyone had put the signs boldly in front of her, Ciara doubted that she would
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury Trail Him
Linda was disappointed and soaked in shame. Samuel had brought her back home even though she tried to hold him back.“What is so important that it cannot wait?” Samuel had asked her.He sounded irritated and annoyed to see her, and more, he had looked like he was rushing off somewhere. So Linda had slipped into the living room, because it seemed that Samuel would not let her into the living room with the way stood solidly in front of her. Usually, he would have stepped aside to usher her in, but as usual, Linda was determined to push her way through, regardless of the fact that she wasn’t even entirely comfortable around Samuel Fury.Linda had heard Samuel groan loudly after she stylishly entered the living room, and she grinned inwardly.“Linda, I already accepted your date. Weekend is not here, and we spoke just yesterday, so why are you here?” Samuel had asked her without even bothering to hide his anger and hostility.“Where are you going at this time of the night?” Linda had ask
The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury In One Space
“Samuel,” Ciara called out breathlessly.They both stared at each other, almost standing closely; Ciara in the dark and Samuel in the light. They were like two worlds colliding together, unsuited, but definitely drawn together by forces they had no control over.Ciara was shocked, relieved, anxious, and all the emotions in between, and so was Samuel feeling. For an instant, they both just stared at each other.“You came,” Ciara said, her voice low, and it had something to do with how she felt staring at Samuel Fury whom she hadn’t seen in such a long time. It felt as though they were apart from each other for years, and not just a couple of days, or maybe weeks.Ciara had completely concluded that Samuel was not going to show up, because not only was he delaying, he was also not taking his calls. If Samuel had wasted any more time, he would have missed her, because she had just been about to walk away to find safety. Somehow, Samuel’s presence wiped off all doubts and thoughts that h

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
