His Defiant Bride Bossy Housekeeper
“Hello, young master. Good to see that you’re still a late riser like always,” Said the sharp older woman who looked like she was in her early fifties.Thea watched as Lucian rubbed the back of his head and looked at the woman uncomfortable.“Good to see you too, Mrs Kyle. You seem to be in good health,” He mumbled as he stood in the den in his pajama bottoms and nothing on top. Yupp, some eye candy so early in the morning for her. But probably not the best attire to greet their new housekeeper…The older woman looked at him intently for a moment before sighing and turning toward Thea who was still standing beside the door because Mrs Kyle had yet to step into the house.“Nice to meet you, you must be Miss Thea. Mr Salvator told me everything about you. How are you feeling?” Mrs Kyle asked with the same stern expression on her face making Thea somehow feel the contradiction between her warm words and her cold expression.“Nice to meet you. I am feeling much better, thank you. Would yo

As Lucian pulled Thea into the room, he closed the door behind them and made his way into the bathroom not letting go of her hand. When they reached the bathroom, he picked her up around the waist and put her on the counter.“Woah! What are you doing?” She asked surprised.“Making sure you won’t run away,” He said coming up to stand between her legs.“Why would I want to run away?” She asked tilting her head to the side and Lucian smiled reaching for the bathroom door and closing it.“Nothing, I just wanted to do this since the moment I saw you sitting in the kitchen,” He said with a smile and she sighed.Sometimes. Lucian could be an unpredictable flirt.“More importantly, Why am I hearing about some bridal lessons for the first time?” Thea asked wondering why Lucian hadn’t told her about them from the start.“Because there are no bridal lessons. It was just a lir Grandma created for mother in hopes that the lessons would help her become a better mother and wife. But it didn’t work,”

“So she’s staying with you until you completely recover,” Pen trailed off and Thea nodded.“Although I don’t like the idea much but I don’t really have a choice. Besides, the woman is beyond helpful. It’s like she’s a mind reader/ robot. She has everything ready and on time. My house had never been this clean and orderly, and after that first incident, she barely ever stepped out of line. She is a bit strict about our diet and having breakfast every morning, it’s like a religion for her. But I feel like I’m much healthier thanks to that,” Thea explained as Pen leaned on her elbow listening to her with a blank expression.“That sounds like an extremely happy problem to have,” she said giving her a judging stare and Thea rolled her eyes.“Come on! Stop being like that! It’s not like you would have some stranger in your house twenty-four/ seven and wouldn’t complain about it. Put yourself in my place,” Thea complained and Pen sighed.“Alright. I can see where this can be annoying. What d

“This is going to be all for today,” Thea said as she adjoined the meeting and people were starting to exit the meeting room.Pen came to stand beside her busy looking into her notes and said,“Well, they can’t help but stare at the future mistress of their company. They can’t help but wonder if you would be coming back at their boss in the future,”“Come on, this is just a briefing with the employees there is no need for rumors to start spreading already,” She said with a smile and Pen sighed.“You don’t get it. Those looks, calculating and appraising every bit of you. They were more concerned with your size than they were concerned with the ongoing research,” Pen said.Thea rolled her eyes at her friend and turned to a group of employees coming up to greet her and give her some questions.Just as they were done with their conversation, Lucian made his way into the meeting room causing the remaining employees to disperse with a hard look closing the door behind them.“What going on?”

“You didn’t have to follow me into the bathroom,” Pen grumbled and Thea sighed.“Sorry, I didn’t mean to push you like that,” Thea answered as she leaned against the door stall.“I know. I was being prickly. But I’m not ready to talk about being part of a sick experiment that might or might not have tampered with my brain irrevocably,” Pen answered honestly and Thea stiffened,“For someone uncomfortable talking about it, you sure know how to explain it. I wouldn’t know when to start if I was to explain it to someone,” She trailed off and Pen looked at her.“Are you going to tell Lucian?” She asked and Thea nodded.There was no doubt in her mind about this, she was going to tell him one day. She just needed time to come up with the best way to face him with the truth. And before that, she needed to talk to his father.“Unlike you. I don’t see this as something that I should hide. In fact, if my relationship with him was as forward as yours I would have told him. It would have explained
His Defiant Bride Second Proposal
Thea made her way down the stairs slowly lifting her dress as she walked. She didn’t know how long she had been under the care of Mrs Kyle but she was one firm believer that Mrs Kyle was a mirable maker.There was no way that Thea was going to produce the same results even if she went to the best care in the city. It felt like something she would get addicted to.She felt refreshed and light her shoulders relaxed and her skin had never been this smooth. Her hair was pulled back in a stylish updo and a few long locks slid across the skin over her shoulders reminding her that her hair was still long. It was a strange comforting feeling which she liked.The long black dress was rather simple in design but the amber motif matched with the amber jewelry and hair accessories she had on making it look even more stylish and colorful.As she stepped down on the last step, she found Lucian already standing there waiting for her holding something in his hand as he watched the street from the win

As soon as they stepped into the party venue, they were greeted by an extremely cheerful James who was grinning at them from ear to ear walking in his usual jacket draped over his shoulders.He looked much livelier and more healthy than she’d ever seen him. She felt Lucian sigh in exasperation as he put his hand on the small of her back and walked toward his father.“I’m so glad to see you here, you two. I was wondering if you weren’t going to come,” He said as he stood before them.“As expected of my daughter-in-law. You look beautiful,” He said with a smile and Thea smiled at him.“Thank you, James although I would have preferred more time to get ready for such an important event,” She retorted and he laughed.“As blunt as always. Sorry, I will make sure you have enough heads up for the wedding,” He answered and Thea shook her head hopelessly.The man didn’t even seem sorry about this.“More importantly, father. You shouldn’t be walking around like this, what did the doctor say abou
His Defiant Bride Another Mother-In-Law
“Thea, let me introduce you, this is Sofia. Father’s close friend,” Lucian said introducing Thea to a woman in her early fifties.She had shining black hair, a tall frame that made even the best models lower their heads in envy, and deep blue eyes that pierced through the onlookers making her look like an invincible warrior from those legends. Stunning despite their ferocity.“Sofia, this is my fiance, Thea Keaton,” Lucian concluded and Thea reached out a hand to the woman with a small smile.“It’s nice to meet you. Thank you for inviting us to this party,” Thea said waiting for the woman to shake her hand.Sofia looked at Thea for a moment with an asserting gaze and Thea realized that the woman was sizing her up. After a few beats, Thea was starting to think that the woman wouldn’t shake her hand back when she smiled at her and reached out her hand.“Nice to finally meet you, Thea. I heard so much about you from James,” She said warmly.“I don’t know what father could have said about
