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

Astounded.

His wine Butler had just told him what time it was. Eight-twenty. 

"Mr. Caesar," he eyed the man pouring in his wine, freshly brewed from the grapevine in his garden. "Are you sure about the time you saw?"

"Yes, sir. It is exactly twenty minutes since the bell rang out."

"Leave me!"

Rochester pushed out his facial muscles, grinding his teeth. It was one thing for her to outrightly disobey his strict breakfast-hour rule. But it was another thing, an entirely different sin for her to willingly accept to dine in her room as opposed to answering his call to have her dine with him.

How audacious!

Yes. Rochester could feel his fingernails burrowing painfully into his palm due to how he'd wrapped his arm into a fist following Caesar's departure. He could no longer accept this. Her audacity was becoming far too outrageous and not even the flavour of his wine sifting into his nostrils could assail his mood. 

"Gretta!" He shouted.
