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

On time

"You are right," Louisa bit her lips then, "I just told a lie. I did not use to be this way… I was never this person until recently. But now I lie a lot. So much so to the point I no longer have an opinion of what the truth may be."

In reality, she did not know why she had to say it that way. The only answer she could give was that she was possibly suffering more than she wished to know. More than she hoped she was. Grooming a lie for that long wasn't the actual burden. It was the weight of what the man's wife had said to her, 'you either tell him or I will.' It was that singular phrase that would not leave her head up till now. Of course, she did not wish to get more into the woman's bad books. But then telling wasn't exactly an easy bargain, it wasn't as simple as saying 'I am a girl,' or 'I have always been a girl, see?' There are degrees to this thing called truth.

"Which is true, and which is a lie, Hazel?" Gibson said in the most natural tone.
