All Chapters of Forced To Be The Billionaire’s Bride: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Marie and Aaron each froze after they noticed Howard standing in the doorway. Neither of them had predicted him to be there, and for a split 2nd, they stared at him in wonder. The anxiety within the room was thick, and both of them felt it right away.Howard stepped internal, and without missing a beat, he requested once more, his voice calm but company. "What’s going on right here?"Aaron quickly came to him, his posture moving as if trying to make matters appear normal. "It’s just a little confrontation, Dad. Not anything extreme," Aaron said, his tone looking to downplay the whole lot.Marie stood still, her heart racing. She knew Aaron changed into looking to make it sound like love wasn't a large deal, but she wasn’t certain if he was doing it for Howard or himself. She couldn’t have a look at both of them; her gaze dropped to the ground as the tears she was looking to disguise threatened to fall once more.Howard didn’t appear satisfied. His eyes moved from Aaron to Marie, his g

Marie disregarded him all day. Aaron had attempted to speak with her, to fix his mess, but each time he approached, she grew to become away. She became distant, colder than ever, and he ought to feel it. Every word that came out of his mouth felt irresistible and bounced off her, and it hurt more than he could say.The night came, and it was time to head home. They each stood within the elevator, however, there was no conversation, no change of appearances. Marie stared ahead, her eyes fixed on the doorways as the elevator moved down. She stepped out first when the doorways opened, walking swiftly closer to the exit of the building. Aaron called her, but she didn't prevent it. She didn’t even appear again."Marie!" He called, his voice louder this time.She stopped strolling, her heels clicking speedily on the hard floor. She didn’t respond. The sound of her shoes echoed within the empty hallway, every step a reminder of how far she had turned away from him.His heart raced as he acco

Marie’s eyes fluttered open; she turned and was hit with a sharp, throbbing pain in her head. She winced, elevating a hand to her forehead, looking to block out the pain. Her surroundings were unusual, the white walls and the odor of antiseptic hitting hersenses. It took a moment for her to realise where she was. She was in a hospital room.She attempted to sit up straight, but the ache in her head simplygrew worse, and she lay going into reverse, respiration closely. Her eyes darted around the room, trying to make sense of the whole lot. The tender hum of machines and the faint sound of footsteps outdoors had been the best noises she may have wanted to listen to.Then, recollections rushed into her head as if a transfer had just been flipped. The image of Aaron being hit with the truck, the sound of the effect, his blood on the road—the whole lot came flooding back, and panic rose in her chest. Her breath stuck in her throat as she whispered, “Aaron!”She got up on the mattress, igno

Marie’s heart skipped a beat whilst Aaron lightly pulled her closer. Her breath caught in her throat as he leaned in, his eyes tender, his face packed with something she hadn’t seen visible before — pure vulnerability. It wasn’t like the closing time, when everything was rushed and filled with so many unspoken things among them. This time, it became unique.Aaron’s lips met hers slowly, tenderly. The kiss becomes gentle and unhurried, full of warmth and longing. For a second, it felt like time had stopped. All of the chaos, all the pain, the misunderstandings — everything dwindled. All that mattered in that second was the feeling of his lips towards hers and the tenderness he became showing her.Marie was surprised in the beginning. She had never predicted this, in no way an idea that when the whole lot they had been through, they might come so far. But as she felt the burden of his kiss, the sincerity of it, she kissed him back, her fingers trembling as they reached as much as hold h

Marie and Aaron lay in each other's arms, and the world outside the room appeared some distance away. He wrapped his arms around her as if not wanting to ever let her go, and she pressed herself against him.For the first time in a long time, she felt at peace. She felt that the burden of the whole world which has been troubling her have been lifted up her shoulders, the questions and all the uncertainties seemed to fade into space. At this moment, it becomes just the two of them.As they lay there inside the quiet, the gentle knock at the door broke the stillness. Marie quickly sat up, startled by the sound of the door. She grabbed the blanket, pulling it over her shoulders, and started to get up. But before she could flow too far, Aaron’s hand gently grabbed her arm, pulling her go in reverse into his chest."Permit’s me to live like this," Aaron whispered, his voice low, however firm. "It does not matter who’s on the door."Marie paused, nevertheless feeling surprised at how effort
