All Chapters of His Defiant Bride: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Thea slowly shifted feeling the weight of another body against hers. Relishing in its warmth, she slowly opened her eyes to find Lucian’s sleeping face before her making her smile.It had been exceptional, Thea never knew that making love to someone could feel so good, with every touch and every caress, Thea had felt Lucian’s affection and passion and responded to it. She was exhausted by the time they were done but she still wanted to go more and more as if she couldn’t get enough from him.She knew now why the women were talking about how much of an excellent lover he was.Thea felt her eyes close again and let sleep take her. She didn’t want to wake up yet. It was evening, or closer to night than evening. They spent most of the day in bed and she barely remembered time passing. She could remember the sight of his sculpted body, the sweat-covered face who would lean down and whisper her name in heated passion, but it felt as if it was a distant memory she had been watching over from

“Oh goodness! Look at me bawling my eyes out like a baby!” Sofia said with embarrassment as she sat down in the loveseat in front of them while James handed her the handkerchief to wipe her eyes. Thea smiled as she looked at the two of them interacting realizing something. Sofia never treated James as if he existed in the first place, in fact, it was always James running around trying to please her. She smiled thinking about his fate, he was probably going to spend his life atoning with her which was good enough for the schemer… Although it was Sofia’s decision to abandon Lucian to James, she never wanted to do that in the first place. Being away from her son was a nightmare to her but it had gotten so bad that she couldn’t sleep at night anymore, scared that she would get attacked. She told them how she had been determined to raise him alone at first and even cut ties with James, but when the danger became prominent, she had to call and ask him for help and the conditions of Bella

Thea sat down before her uncle as he sipped from his coffee not bothering to look at her. She eyed him for a moment noting how different he was since the last time she saw him, unlike then, he looked a bit on the disheveled side having lost weight and not replaced his suit, it looked like it was a bit too big for him.Under his eyes she could see the bags forming there like a sign of overwork and misfortune, somehow she felt a bit sorry for the man. Even though it was all brought on by his actions, she didn’t want him to end up like this… Maybe she should have asked Sofia to tone down her ire a little bit on him, Thea even heard that his company crumbled to the ground and almost went bankrupt.“You look like you’ve been enjoying life so far…” He trailed off as he looked at her with the same glare he gave her back then.There it was… unrestrained hatred and contempt, it was as if he wasn’t seeing her but looking at her mother instead. The sister he hated so much…“Not as much as you mu

Thea gritted her teeth as she leaned back trying to paste on the smile on her face as soon as she heard Lucian’s voice. Although she prepared herself for this moment over the past few days she spent hours rehashing this moment in her mind.Nothing prepared her to hear Lucian’s voice as he called her name. As she felt her whole body tremble as she readied herself to turn around and resume her acting, as she had been doing throughout her stay in this forsaken place.As Thea smiled, she turned around to look at him only to almost lose her composure as she looked at him. The face she saw before her was one filled with uncertainty and worry, one she used to think held so many honest emotions toward her that she thought she was going to burst from the excess of it.Now thinking that it was all an act. Wondering what kind of thoughts he was harboring when she was feeling deeper and deeper in life with him. It made her anger rise. But what made her stomach churn even more, was the realization

“She’s taking too long…” Lucian mumbled and Haden who was standing behind him shifted on his feet uncomfortably.Lucian looked at Peter who was still keeping his composure as he stared at the entrance. Lucian knew the moment something changed when Peter smiled.“She wanted to make an entrance…” He said.Lucian turned around to find himself staring at the most beautiful vision he had ever seen. Thea was walking down the aisle toward him her dress making her look as if she was floating in the air on a cloud.Her black hair was held up in an elaborate chignon making her majestic raven locks look like ink in contrast with the white dress. She was smiling as she greeted the guests walking slowly and confidently toward him. But Lucian still had to look her in the eyes and he kept anticipating the moment her amber eyes met his.When they did, he felt as if he was electrified with the piercing beautiful gaze she gave him. Her eyes looked as if they were challenging him and everything and ever
