His Defiant Bride Bonds and Connections
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
His Defiant Bride James and Thea's Past
“...more importantly, I want to know. What was going on between you and my parents?” Thea asked watching James’ expression carefully as he looked at her with a blank face.Then the man smiled chuckling at that and shaking his head. As expected he was too perceptive to be shaken by something this predictable from her.“So you’re finally asking me this question,” He trailed off looking down at his linked hands as if he was readying himself to be questioned by her.“Since the moment you told me about my father, you expected me to come ask you,” She said and he nodded.“I told you fully prepared for you to come asking about the past. I have nothing to hide about this. But it’s going to be a story you know very well,” he warned and she nodded.She already suspected what kind of truth was behind this mysterious encounter.“Before you were born your father and I used to be lab
His Defiant Bride Debitante Training
Thea's eyes fluttered open, greeted by a nightmarish scene of chaos. Wreckage surrounded her, and a fiery inferno raged just beyond the shattered window. In the dim light, she could make out the silhouettes of her parents, slumped and motionless."Mom? Dad?" Her voice barely escaped her throat, stifled by the pain coursing through her body. She strained to call out to them, but her hazy mind struggled to stay focused. Every movement was agony, and she winced, fighting to keep her eyes open.Outside, voices called urgently, and then a figure leaned into the window."Over here! Someone's still conscious!" The rescuer's voice pierced the chaos, and strong hands pulled Thea from the backseat, her body protesting in pain.Just as she was about to beg them to save her parents, a deafening explosion erupted, throwing her back. When her eyes cleared, she saw the car engulfed in flames, her parents trapped inside."Mom! Dad!" Her anguished cry filled the ai
His Defiant Bride Unexpected Appology
“Hello, Thea? This is Sofia…”Thea had a hard time keeping her expression neutral as she looked up at Mrs. Kyle. But there was no fooling the woman.“Oh, hello. How may I help you?” Thea asked and Mrs. Kyle made a sign about putting the call on speaker. Thea Ignored her, there was no need for Mrs. Kyle to hear what she had to say. She still didn’t know whether to trust her or not too.“I, uh… I wanted to apologize for last night,” She said slowly.“Oh? This is unexpected…” Thea trailed off wondering why the woman sounded so remorseful about everything. She didn’t seem like she would be regretting anything she did last night.“I acted impulsively and was kind of aggressive,” Sofia said calmly.“Yes, you did. Which is making me less inclined to believe that you would feel remorseful from last night to today,” She said wondering if there was someone behind this attitude.“I heard some disturbing information about you and kind of believed it, I didn’t mean to treat you like that. I talked
His Defiant Bride Sofia's Here
Thea fixed Lucian with a stern, yet conflicted gaze as he leaned against the door, a sheepish smile playing on his lips."You can't keep being mad at me like this. Come on..." he prodded, flashing his endearing, boyish smile that, much to her chagrin, only accentuated his handsomeness."I can, and I will. I can't believe I did that in front of Mrs. Kyle," she lamented, her voice tinged with a mix of frustration and embarrassment. He cautiously stepped closer, reaching out for her arms."But she left the room before we did anything. You saw it too," he pointed out, trying to alleviate her embarrassment.She had indeed noticed Mrs. Kyle's exit, but Thea couldn't shake the mortification of letting herself be drawn into that impulsive kiss. Her cheeks burned with a rosy hue, and she sighed, her gaze dropping to the floor."Still, it doesn't make it any less embarrassing," she mumbled, and he tenderly took her arms in his hands, his fingers tracing slow circles on her skin.Her gaze lifted
His Defiant Bride Reconciliation
Thea didn’t need to think to answer Sofia’s question. There was no need to hide the truth but she needed to hear her side of the story first. If her uncle was tattling about her because of what she did last time. This should be her responsibility. Something she should resolve before it got to affect Lucian’s inheritance.“If you’re asking if I begged my uncle for money then no, I did not,” Thea said confidently her tone steady and her eyes meeting Sofia’s who was looking at her with a critical gaze.“It seems like this is what your uncle is saying though. He went on about you barging in on his dinner with an associate and demanding money from him…” Sofia said, “To be honest, I thought that you needed money and this is why you got engaged to Lucian which made me worry about him.When I looked into it. I realized that you didn’t have access to your trust fund and that your mother left the account to your uncle so I directly assumed that you were in there for Lucian’s money. I doubted yo
His Defiant Bride The Wedding Dress
“It feels like my house had been colonized by my wife and mistress and they happened to get along well,” said James, Thea’s Grandfather’s secretary as he leaned back against the kitchen counter of her grandfather’s house watching as Sofia and Mrs. Kyle went on about whether an old dress was or wasn’t appropriate for a wedding.“That in itself is a very scary situation to be in, James,” Her grandfather said with a sigh and James chuckled.“You sound like you know that too well, Grandpa,” Thea added and her grandfather completely ignored her comment while James gave her a wink.“When I told you to think about using the dress, I didn’t ask you to bring a fashion designer into the house. That woman is going to give me a headache with all of her questions,” Her grandfather complained as he watched Sofia examine the contents of the trunk sitting before her.“You’re not even the one answering them so what is it to you? Uncle James was the one answering all of their questions in the first pla
