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

Sad Fate

"Get up!"

Louisa jolted awake, her head bouncing off the pillows. Eyes alert, she could not believe the person she saw. Doing her best, she tried to recall how their presence there in time was even possible.… That was all wrong. The person whose features had marred into a scowl had no business being by her, much after hauling the blanket away like that. They had yanked the double sheets off her face exposing her to their hot-as-larva flaring breaths and their heated cheeks. Madam Eloise was very upset. The question was, why?

"Did I startle you yet?" Eloise muttered, with a stain of sarcasm in her voice. "No? Get up. It's almost eight. Work mustn't slack because you are too lazy."

Louisa asked, "What work?" Though her eyes were wider than her full face, she merely sat up on the bed and crawled her legs into a yoga pose. "And yes. Seeing you as the first thing in the morning does startle me. I can not even lie about that."
