His Defiant Bride Hospital Visit
Lucian wished he could take some deep calming breaths in order to calm his anger but he didn’t want to show Peter just how much earlier’s occurrence got to him. The man was a natural tease and that wasn’t going to help with Lucian’s efforts to hold back.“How far along did the police investigate?” Lucian asked as soon as the door closed behind them.Peter paused for a moment and Lucian still went on walking down the hallway.“I think they still don’t know who made Robert commit something like that so the links are still not connected to your family yet,” Peter said.“I would like to keep it like that for now, until we can find out who really did it. I want them to put their guards down in order to make it easy to catch them,” He said.“So you’re willing to put one of your family members in prison?” Peter asked challenging and Lucian frowned.“What are you talking about? They almost killed someone,” He said and Peter smirked seeming satisfied with his answer.“I see…” He trailed off.“
His Defiant Bride What Happened
Thea leaned forward trying to grab the book she needed from the shelf of her home library. She was overestimating her height clearly since her attempt didn’t go so well. She felt a presence behind her and a taller hand reached for the book taking it from the shelf. Thea turned around to find herself looking back at Lucian’s gaze on her looking at her with a frown.“You could’ve asked me to bring that to you..” He complained and she sighed,“You were busy getting settled. And it’s not like I’m bedridden,” She answered and he sighed touching the bandage on her head.“It’s only been two days since you got discharged from the hospital. You still need to take it easy,” he nagged and Thea felt her annoyance rise.Seriously, he was getting on her nerves. Why was he being so overprotective? It’s like she can’t take two steps without him appearing out of nowhere to help her.“I am alright, and the doctor said that I could do well with some exercising which you’re not letting me do,” She said.
His Defiant Bride Peter Knows
“Ehm… What are you two doing with the door open?” Thea snapped her head back so fast that she felt the slight beginning of another headache and winced. Peter was standing at the door looking at them with a disgusted look holding a pack of drinks and another bag probably filled with enough junk food to make Lucian wince.“The door is open because I was still picking up groceries from the car as you must have noticed and what normal people do instead of barging in is ringing the fracking doorbell,” Lucian said touching her head for a moment.When she gave him a smile he sighed and stood up. It was interesting how easily Peter and Lucian were getting along so well that Thea wondered what happened with the awkwardness between them. She still remembered the first day those two met when she went out to a bar with Peter. He was concerned about this man who Pen kept talking about and decided to message talk to him in her stead. He ended up playing some kind of matchmaker in the end giving Th
His Defiant Bride Unexpected Reaction
“What do you want to tell us, Thea?” Pen asked as she walked toward them putting down her bag and a plastic bag full of snacks.As expected of her friends… None of them knew how to cook. If this goes on, they would be buried in a mountain load of snacks.“Don’t you know how to ring a bell?!” Peter asked her and Nadia looked at him wondering if the man was joking.“You’re the last one who gets to talk about that…” Thea retorted and Peter smiled at her.“Well, the door was open and I came in,” He said as if it was the ultimate argument.“So was I,” Pen retorted simply sitting down in front of Thea, “So, what did you two need to talk about?”Thea sighed, she wasn’t ready to talk about this. Not at all… “It’s about Lucian and I…” She began hesitantly, “The truth is, we’re not exactly what we made you think we are…”“What do you mean?” Pen asked.“What she means is that she and Lucian aren’t actually dating. They’re just pretending that they are,” He said, and Thea glared at him.“Hey! I
His Defiant Bride Peter's Warning
Lucian sighed as he made his way up the stairs listening to the three friends’ laughter following after him.“Woah… Seems like we’re hated…” Haden joked and Lucian smiled.“Well, I did know that Thea had something against corporates, in fact, she refused my offer to work at Chim&Bio quite vehemently…”“You offered her a job?! I never heard about this,”Haden answered handing him a box to help with.“Back when we first met. She had made her feelings about working in a company very clear. But I didn’t think that Pen and Peter were of the same mind. Just when I think that they practically have nothing in common, something comes up and reminds me just how long their relationship is…” Lucian said.“Jealous?” Haden asked and Lucian paused.“Because I am. Pen and I even got in a fight last week because of this…” Haden added and Lucian paused looking at his friend for a moment, “Right before Thea’s accident,” He trailed off looking guilty.“What did she tell you?” Lucian asked.“She was actua
His Defiant Bride Interior Designer
Thea made her way out of her office wincing at the daylight hitting her face. She had been camping inside her office since their poker night two days ago. Lucian’s strict working schedule made it hard for them to cross paths often.Not that she has any problem with that. In fact, if she was being honest, she had been studiously avoiding him. Since the last time, they were together and Lucian kissed her, her heart had been wavering so much and her mind asking questions she didn’t want to think about. So she was afraid of facing him. Kind of.He would let her rest whenever she would tell him that she was in bed. And she took the opportunity to concentrate on the theoretical part of her research. She made much more progress in the last few days than she did in a week. This is why she didn’t really need to intentionally avoid him because he would leave her alone if she was working.Staring up at the sky through the window she wondered when was the last time she’d stared at the sky like th
His Defiant Bride Dizzy Spell
Lucian was getting mad. This woman was clearly trying to belittle Thea in front of him making her opinion seem like it doesn’t matter. Thea on the other hand looked at her as if she didn’t care making her signature smile whenever someone was unsuccessfully trying to make her angry.Which reminded Lucian of when he was trying to do the exact same thing to her in the past and failed miserably until he went too far and made her cry. But now, when she asked him with that sweet tone to hear the interior designer out, Lucian began to wonder what she was planning to do.Lucian was about to walk into the conversation when he felt his phone vibrate and he looked down at it. A text from James. It was a test that made him take in the current situation from a whole new point of view.Walking toward them, he glimpsed the woman glaring at Thea as she pulled out her suggestions and began speaking.Lucian was barely listening his eyes traveling back to Thea wondering what was bugging him about her. H
His Defiant Bride A New Arrangement
When Thea opened her eyes, she found Lucian sitting by her side again this time looking into his phone. He looked up at her and smiled.“You’re finally awake,” he said reaching out to touch her hand, “How are you feeling?”“Groggy and a bit confused, did I faint on you?” She asked and he nodded.“The doctor said that it was a normal concussion symptom and that we should look out for it. But it was possible that the lack of sleep and malnutrition caused it too.” Lucian said and she groaned.“I should have known that I was overdoing it. I was being as stubborn as a five-year-old child,” She admitted and he chuckled.“Glad to hear you admit it. I was about ready to force you into a healthy schedule if you kept insisting on going on like that,” Lucian said with a smile and Thea chuckled.“I deserve that. Sorry for worrying you,” She admitted softly and he nodded leaning forward to pat her head and press a kiss against her forehead.“It’s okay. I’m just glad that you’re okay sweetheart,” H
