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.

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
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
His Defiant Bride New Routine
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,”
His Defiant Bride Friend Time
“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
His Defiant Bride The Ring
“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?”
His Defiant Bride Preparing For The Party
“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
