All Chapters of The Contract Bride: Falling For Fury : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Even though Ciara wanted to feel terrible, the joy on Mary’s face was enough to quell whatever ill feeling she might be getting. They would share a few light drinks before Mary returns to the hospital.“Don’t think all is well now,” Samuel whispered into Ciara’s ear. His voice was very cold, and he probably mistook the smile on Ciara’s face for acceptance; she was merely trying to sustain Mary’s happiness.Ciara’s comeback retort was just on the tip of her finger when Mary voice filtered to her ears. “Come darling, let us take some pictures. It might be the first and only family picture we would have.”“Mom, please do not sound that way,” Ciara started to say, but Mary waved her off.Ciara and Samuel stood behind Mary. They did not even realize that Mary had hired a private photographer. When Mary saw the surprise on both the faces of Ciara and Mary, she giggled like a happy teenager and said, “You did not think that a wedding would hold between you two and I would allow this moment b

Thankfully, the doctor had obliged Ciara and hadn’t told Samuel more than he needed to know. Few hours after that, Ciara was discharged, but she went straight to Mary’s ward.“You are here,” Mary said happily the moment Ciara entered her ward. Even though Mary’s nurse had told Ciara that Mary was awake, she had expected the woman to be resting.“Yes, I am,” Ciara said and settled beside Mary.“The doctor said something about an allergy, and I am just grateful that it wasn’t more than that,” Mary said genuinely. Ciara wanted to ask her if she had taken any drink at all, but it might arouse suspicion and even make Mary uneasy, which isn’t what she needs at the moment. There was no other way for Ciara to know, because asking Samuel wasn’t even an option, so in as much as she hated it, she would just have to let it go, the most important thing being that she did not lose the baby. Samuel entered the ward, and Ciara concluded that the man had a problem with knocking. Instead of berating

The hairs on Ciara’s neck stood up. She could feel dread sweeping through her entire nervous system, and Ciara knew even without turning that she was in danger. The breath of this person landed at the back of her neck, causing her chills.Carefully, Ciara dreaded to turn and look at whoever he was, to at least catch his face before he did whatever he wanted to do with her, but just then, she heard a beeping sound, and Samuel’s voice filtered to her ears.“You may come in,” and the moment he said that, the gate swung open, granting her access into the penthouse. Ciara turned, but the person had disappeared. It felt unreal, but she knew deep down that someone stood a few inches away from her barely a second ago otherwise she would not have felt his breath on her skin when he talked, and also, the creepy way he called her name. Her full name.Ciara hurried into the penthouse, and the gate shut firmly behind her. She felt safe now, but still, she could not shake off the feeling that the w

Ciara walked beside Samuel as they followed their tour guide to their hotel. It was a luxurious hotel, one that spoke of wealth and class, and Ciara could not be more awed, but in as much as she wanted to take in the beauty of the place, she could not shake off the fact that she left an unfinished business back home.“Happy honeymooning,” the young lady grinned at Ciara and Samuel as she led them to their hotel room. “You could not have picked a better place,” she added cheerily.Neither Ciara nor Samuel responded to her.When they got to their room, she handed their door card to them, congratulated them once again and left them to go into their room. Samuel placed the card on the door and it buzzed open. The moment they stepped in, Ciara’s breath was caught in her throat by the sight that greeted her. It was not the magnificence of the room that took her breath away, it was the decoration on the spacious king-sized bed. On it were rose petals shaped in the form of love while scented

Ciara threw everything she had eaten in a vomit into the toilet. She groaned and moaned as she threw up, wishing that she would stop throwing up. Ciara knew that she was reacting this way because of the baby. After a few seconds, she came out of the bathroom.“You have ruined lunch for me,” Samuel Fury said coldly the moment Ciara stepped into the hotel room. They have practically been living like enemies since they arrived; barely talking to each other, and only coming close to each other to take a video call from Mary. Samuel looks irritated and disgusted.Ciara did not mean to ruin lunch for anyone, but as their food was served and she took a few spoons, she did not even know when her stomach turned and she threw up, right on the same table that they were having lunch. She had to scurry into the bathroom and empty her stomach after that.“It is certainly going to be the last time you and I are ever eating on a table until this sham of a marriage is over,” Samuel declared.Unknown t
