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

With a swerve, Rochester turned back to his mother and asked, "Does anyone know about this too?"

Eloise blinked once or twice. "Be specific when you ask your questions," she said.

"By anyone, I meant Mrs. Phellipe. Does she know?" Rochester asked his mother. "The other day she came by my room and said..."

Before Rochester could finish his line, Samantha shouted with eyes bulged out, "Richard! You!??"

"Surprise! SURPRISE!" Richard did a slight bow as some form of gesture to Samantha. Standing up, he said, "You did not expect to see me so soon, Love. Did I startle you then?"

"Yes, you did," Samantha said with a mild raise of her voice. "Get away from here, you have no business in this house."

Her voice was cold and her gait was swift. She padded across the floors, reached him, and put her hands flat on his belly. Attempting to push him outside, he held his place.

"I wonder if this is any way to treat your brother-in-law, Samantha."
