All Chapters of The Deserted Bride: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

With everything said and almost done, the night seemed too long for Shane. He couldn’t sleep after meeting the person whom his mother was suspected about the cause of Audrey’s car accident five years ago. They had a casual talk about something for a while. Shane was somewhat grateful that the person didn’t stay for long, or he might lose his cool and start a confrontation about the issue involving Audrey. Shane could still not forget how his heart stopped beating for a second when he heard about the news of Audrey’s accident five years ago. Perhaps, Audrey wouldn’t decide to turn the car around after she reached the resort where they were supposed to have their honeymoon. If he was there with her, she might have avoided the accident and Audrey wouldn’t suffer emotionally within the past few years since she got involved in that said accident. And all those things were already in the past. A

Just like any other parties she attended, Audrey would always look for a corner where she could have a peaceful time drinking her wine or appreciate the stars outside if it was nighttime. While everyone was cheering loudly and some would even pull someone to the dance floor to move along the rhythm, Audrey was sitting by the window, quietly holding a glass of cocktail drink. Her eyes were wandering on the night sky with stars shimmering in the dark. She intended to be alone at some point while thinking about the things she should do the next day. Audrey wasn’t sure if she should tell Shane to move out to completely cut the ties between them. She certainly had to but at the same time, she was worried about him a little since his parents were away and their old house was probably sold a long time ago. If Shane needed a place to stay when he was done with the project, it should be a place where he could live his private l

Strange The room temperature should be cool enough but the two people on the bed wouldn’t stop sweating. Shane felt hot that he needed to take off his shirt and oh… his pants since he felt something growing down there and it was getting tighter by the minute. Audrey wasn’t just sweating but thirsty as well. Her throat dried up, and she needed something to quench it. It was all because of the heat coming from inside her body. She wanted to release it and but didn’t know how to. She felt her body was craving for something and although she got a vague idea what it was, her mind and heart seemed not to mind it at all. He removed her shirt while locking their eyes. His hands were shaking. It wasn’t like he hadn’t done it before, but he felt nervous. Anyway, he didn’t want to think about anyone else except the woman underneath him

“I think I love you,” Shane whispered which she could barely hear. Audrey smiled at him when she failed to figure out what he said. She felt exhausted and sleepy. All she wanted to do was to sleep while hugging the man beside her, afraid that when she woke up the next morning… he’d be gone. “Don’t leave me,” she mumbled and closed her eyes. She was on Shane’s shoulder with her arm wrapped around him. They were both sweating after what they did, but she still found his smell nice. In fact, he smells better when he was sweating compared to when he was not. “Silly. You didn’t even reply properly to what I said,” Shane muttered and lifted her head to make her lay down on his arm instead. He embraced her so tightly. “I won’t leave you this time,” he said and kissed her forehead. A smile w

Lights? Check. Chairs and tables? Check. Tablecloths? Check. Utensils? Check. Staffs? Check. Foods and drinks? Uh-uh… not ready yet. The day had finally come and tonight, Audrey’s restaurant will officially start its five days pre-open. It was only the first day and the chef was already cracking her head too much to think of something marvelous to serve. Audrey was sitting on the stool inside the chicken thinking about how to come up with the ‘best’ dish she would ever create if could. It wasn’t like she wasn’t prepared with the menu. The menu was fine and it wasn’t the problem. Nathan also hired one more chef to handle the daily menu every day in the case when she and Nathan weren’t around. The problem was, Shane said he was coming and Audrey still couldn’t decide a perfect dish to serve for him. The staff came four hours earlier to help prepare with the first day of th
