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

FAMILY DINNER - PART 2

His sister entered the hall, her teeth gleaming far too brightly, her hand wrapped around the arm of her Iffy lover or fiancé or whatever he wished to be called. Rochester's bored eyes snapped away from the duo who had taken their seats in such high-minded fashion, and rested instead on the one empty chair to his right. The tiny voice niggling at the back of his mind told him she would not appear... a suspicion, or was it a premonition? Fear? - It was a vague thing to feel.

Still, a black cloud hovered over his mind - taunting him that he'd made all these preparations for nothing...

The air around the hall smelled of lavender, jasmine and roses. The varied scent came from the many bouquets that lined up the center of the large oak table in front of them. Grandiose candelabras held short-necked crimson-red candles for added effect, and even the waist-high window was left ajar to let in the moonlight.
