The Merchant's Bride

[ON HIATUS!!!!] What are the chances that a selfish, spoiled and arrogant daughter of a noble man in the little town of Griffinwald would fall head over heels in love with a foreigner, an affluent merchant who bathes in the very waters of pride, arrogance and bloated ego? What are the odds that the universe would plan their meet in the most dramatic way; a missing handkerchief flying off with the wind; Scared horses whinning loudly in the distance, a banging thunderstorm is the grand plan. What if this merchant has travelled this far to seek out a certain girl who should become his bride, only to land his heart in another woman's bosoms? ___________ EXCERPT ____________ "The housekeeper is not," said she. "And I am not dumb enough as you think. I can figure my way out of here." "You can?" "Yes, I can." "Hm." Rochester travelled his hand up to his lips. Bussing his mouth sensually with his thumb, he felt his lips divide. Hoping it would have the desired effect on the girl, he said, "I am still confused. Why haven't you left here already? Is there perhaps something else you would need me to do for you? Want to warm my bed perhaps?" "You are disgusting, sir! And I hate you!" Louisa yelled, and in a couple of sprints, she was outside his chamber, shutting the door with a slam. ====== PS. This book is set in thesame fantasy world as my other book, "The Dark Lord's Maiden." You could add up the other book to binge read up to the latest chapters to understand the personality of these characters. But then again this book can also be read as a stand-alone, apart from TDLM. NOTE BELOW! The first chapter has been renamed “Prologue [Silver blue] ” and the former content has been changed. Please clear cache or re-add to Library if you cannot access it. Cheers! And happy reading COVER ART BELONGS TO ME. DO NOT STEAL! ínstαgrαm hαndlє: @nαncчjímσffícíαl fαcєвσσk @ Nαncєє Jímí fα¢євσσк ραgє @nancy writes

An important update for TMB is in the comments below. Check it out after reading.🤭

Rochester could hear the horses neighing some few yards from there. It was the first time that he could hear them whining so sharply from the stables yonder. He decided then that the stable boys must be tending to them at the time.

Stumbling back from the window, Rochester could hear all that Eloise was muttering to herself. She'd been rapping some sentiments for a moment ever since. None of which he felt accustomed to paying heed to. Rochester, leaning his butt onto the window-sill, shot a stubborn gaze at his mother. 

"The marriage won't work!"

"Why not?" asked Eloise. "Who is going to make it fail?"

Rochester inhaled deeply, and said, "I could turn down this useless engagement, to begin with."

"You could, but you would not. Do you wish to know why?"

"Spare me the lecture, please. I obviously know what you'll base your argument upon."
