His Defiant Bride Begining of a Misunderstanding
“Well, well, if it isn't Lucian Salvator… Long time no see…” Lucian heard a singsong voice behind him say before a rand rested on his shoulder.It took a bit of effort to tamp down his annoyance at being interrupted at such an important moment.“Hello, Colleen. How have you been,” He asked turning around to look at the woman shaking her hand casually.But Colleen wasn’t looking at him. Her eyes were on Thea with a vulture flesh eating smile as she looked her up and down.Thea looked back at the woman with a blank expression as if she was waiting for her to finish her appraisal so that she can move along. Lucian wanted to smile as Colleen, who was known to illicit jealous stares from women wherever she went. Today, she was completely ignored by Thea.“It has! I missed you so much at our usual place. You don’t come anymore!” She whined.Awkwardly, Lucian wondered if there was anyone listening around them. Whoever hears them, would think that something was going on between them while the

His Defiant Bride Just Look At Me
Thea looked down at her phone as she tried to remain calm. Flipping a lock of her hair back behind her ear, she looked back up at her grandfather who was still busy talking to Peter.“… I think that this will work out better for you than before,” Her grandfather said and Peter nodded.“Relying on one main source of income was too risky. I guess we had it coming. It was bound to happen,” Peter answered and Thea wanted to sigh.She had no idea how Peter always managed to have a normal conversation with her grandfather. She had such a hard time just getting him to listen to her…“What do you think we should do about the day of the event?” Peter asked.“I think we should leave this to the school committee and Chim&Bio’s PR team. They will come up with a date for the event,” Thea answered looking into her email box another time. This time skipping over the message that left her too shocked to talk and going straight to the email she was looking for in the first place.As soon as she found
His Defiant Bride Unanounced Meeting
Lucian was having a hard time controlling himself even though he knew what he was doing was wrong. More guilt piled up in his conscience as he parked his car in front of the coffee shop where Thea was supposed to meet Robert.He had heard her on the phone earlier and seeing the messages he was sending her over her shoulder, Lucian couldn’t sit still as he watched her drive to her appointment with him. Admittedly, She had never lied to him about who she was meeting because he never asked in the first place. But he still couldn’t shake this feeling that she was going to be stolen away from him. That Robert was seeking more than friendship with Thea, more than a working relationship.And he was right.Through the window, he could see Robert reaching out to put his hand on top of Thea’s as he spoke leaning toward her too closely. Lucian didn’t think further after that, before he knew it, he was getting into the coffee shop, making his way toward them just as Thea stood up shaking Robert’s
His Defiant Bride Family Drama
“I’m not so sure this is a good idea!” Lucian all but yelled as he grabbed the car door handle for dear life making Thea chuckle.“Don’t worry, I will get you there with time to spare,” She answered as she sped up through the coastal road smoothly gliding the car.“I’m worried about getting there in one piece…” Lucian answered looking from her to the road with an alarmed expression.“You’re such a worrywart. I always thought you were such a careful driver; your driving is worse than an old grandma’s,” she told him and Lucian snorted clearly offended by her comment.“At least I wouldn’t have died while recklessly driving. I’m not so sure about that now- woah!” He screamed as Thea dodged a speeding truck coming from the opposite direction.“Okay, that’s it! Thea, I don’t care about the car or the meeting. Just stop the car on the side of the road, I'm getting down,” He ordered, and Thea merely laughed as she sped up more.There was a lull of silence between them as Thea began to drive m
His Defiant Bride Hysterical Mother-in-Law
“Okay, that’s enough drama for today. Ladies and gentlemen,” Lucian looked at his father in shock as he came into the room his vest draped over his shoulder and his cane in hand as an assistant helped him move into the room. Still, despite his state, his father’s presence commanded the room to his attention and he seized the whole situation with only a few words directed at them while a charming smile never left his lips. This was the power of someone who led the company for more than ten years. If it wasn’t for his sudden illness and his absolute need for rest, no one in this room would dare to entertain the thought of an inheritance battle in the first place. “Father, You came,” Lucian said with a smile as he made his way toward him taking his assistant’s place to help him to the head of the table. A place that his mother had been occupying until moments ago and now she was standing back trying her best to blend into the wall. “Your grandmother wouldn’t let me rest even when I am

“I see you have regained your ability to speak,” said Lucian's father with a cheerful smile, “Now why don’t we talk about what happened here?” Thea regarded him for a few moments in silence glimpsing the calculating look Lucian used to give her back when they first met. The same exact look he'd given her with he proposed to her. She remembered how unsettled it made her, and decided immediately that she wasn't going to fall for the same trick twice. So she gave Lucian's father a cool smile before talking.“You mean other than how your wife burst into the office, called me Lucian’s new toy, ruined my work files and tablet, injured me, and then cursed my dead parents before trying to attack me?” She asked.She watched as the confident smile died on his lips and felt Lucian curse at her side. She sensed that he was going to interfere in their conversation with apologies about his mother and squeezed his hand in both warning and reassurance. Lucian shouldn't interfere in the conversation
His Defiant Bride Our Relationship?
"We're not going there..." Lucian said with a frown as he sat in front of her desk in her office."Please tell James that we will be there," Thea said into the phone."Alright, thank you very much Professor Keaton," The man on the other end of the line said before hanging up the phone."We're not going there. We're not having dinner with my family," He said looking like a child sulking because he didn't want to go visit his aunt."Come one, Lucian. It was goodwill from your father that we need to accept. Besides, it's the only way to prove to your mother that she can never influence your relationship with your father," She added and Lucian sighed."It's hard enough as it is to spend time with you these days. If we're going to have dinner, I'd rather have it at a restaurant just the two of us. Slash that. I'd rather have it at your place or mine," He added with a smile seeming to like the thought.Thea ignored that comment. Over the past few days, she had been pointedly avoiding any si
