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

MESSED UP

"Just to see Adelaide?"

"Yes," Louisa nodded, "Only to see Adelaide."

Looking at the woman, Louisa thought that what she'd just mouthed was the flicker. It caused the housekeeper to immediately shake off her sad thoughts. Mrs. Phellipe quickly wrapped a grim look over her face. "You want to stay out there with the lower servants?"

A simple nod was all her answer.

Mrs. Phellipe pushed back her head, letting her brows pinch themselves. "If I understand you correctly, you want to give up staying inside this house to go be at the servants' dormitory?"

Louisa shook her head again, mouthing nothing.

"What impression would you want Adelaide to have? And has Mr. Blenntmort been well informed about this?"

"He has," said Louisa. "We talked about it on my way here."

"Well I cannot be too sure," Mrs. Phellipe insisted and faced forward to resume her walk. "I must run it by him first. If he gives me the go-ahead, I will let you know. You just stay on in that room until I've confirmed it."
