The Wrong Bride (The Windsors, #1)

by Catharina Maura

“I know,” I tell him. “But it’s different when I choose to endure her. Maybe it’s irrational, but I think I’m going to be okay because I’m stepping back into the chaos by choice.”

Thats ...fucking stupid. Literally makes no sense. But ok. Sure🙄.

Ares jumps off the ladder and onto the balcony, pausing for a moment when he sees four of his siblings standing next to me.

Oop.. Definitely Tom Cruise. Lol

“Raven,” he murmurs, almost as though he can’t believe I’m standing in front of him. “One single week without you was enough for me to know that I cannot spend a lifetime without you by my side.

Cue the long speech...

I fucked up, baby. I can see that now. I never should’ve allowed Hannah access to you, and instead of obeying Grandma’s orders, I should’ve taken you away from home.

Oh you absolutely fucked up. But it started when you didn't automatically get a paternity test for the bitch. After the inital shock or whatever...immediately i wouldve gotten a dna test done. Never would’ve taken her at her word. Like duuhhh.

I will do everything in my power to ensure you’ll never regret choosing me. So choose me, Raven. Please come home to me.”

Awwwww...that was sweet. Very good speech.

I choose you, Ares. I will always choose you, even if it isn’t an easy choice to make. Just a few days without you have shown me that I’d rather suffer with you than live a life without you.”

Welp...good for you sweetie. ♥️

He cups my face and drops his forehead to mine. “I won’t let you suffer,” he tells me. “Being with me won’t come at a price, I promise.

Seee, that’s what I’m talking about ! You should not have to suffer. YESSS ARES 👏🏽👏🏽❗️ I like this response. Alot.

Maybe true love is just two imperfect people choosing each other despite the obstacles they’ll face together and deciding that it’s worth it. Because it is.

Tis true.. Tis what love is darling.

We conducted a fetal cell analysis, comparing the genetic profile of the fetal cells in your bloodstream to mine. It wasn’t a match. I’m not the father.” I run a hand through my hair. “But then again, you already knew that, didn’t you?”

Wooow. You dont say...called it. This should’ve been the first thing you did. But I digress. Bout time you’re stepping up Ares baby.

Within seconds, every large media outlet starts to cover the rise of her career, and every single person she slept with on the way to the top. It took me a couple of days to prepare it all, but it was well worth it.

GASP ! Oop-...color me surprised.

“Did you think I didn’t know about the affairs? The men you’d cheat with on set?” I chuckle. “I knew. I just didn’t give a fuck.”

Oop- woooooowwwww. 👀 I have some questionsssss. Lol.

I turn to walk away. “Oh, and, Hannah? You will never work in the entertainment industry again. Anyone who so much as attempts to hire you is going to pay the price.

Yeeesssssss. RUIN HER. *manical laughter* 😈

I’m pulling every movie I funded for you from every channel it’s streaming on. I don’t want her faced with even a single reminder of everything you put her through.

PERIIOODDDD. Thats BIG DICK ENERGYYYYYYYYYYY. This is the timing my mans shouldve been on from jump frfr. I LOVE THIS ❗️❗️❗️ HE STEPPING BOUT HIS WIFE

“Your mother is here to see you. Mr. Windsor instructed us not to let any of your family members in without your express permission. What would you like me to do?”

Uugghhhh.🙄 Wtf does she want ????

You didn’t even call me to check if I was okay. Did you know Dad tried hiring Silas Sinclair to find and protect me when he couldn’t reach me? What did you do?”

Good on dad.

I shake my head. “It’s clear you heard me speak, yet you’re not listening. Maybe you will someday, but I’m not going to sit around and wait for a moment longer.”

Yupp. Leave her where she at. Cut her off. Im telling you she would not exist to me if she were my mother

I take the ring box I’ve had for far longer than she could possibly know out of my pocket and pop it open. Raven’s eyes widen, and I drop down on one knee.

Ahh yes. The Windsor tradition ...get married first..then fall in love..then go through some shit..wife leaves...you leave and get her back...then propose again and have the wedding you both wanted. Then live happily ever after. Yupp.🫶🏽

“I called Laurier a day later and requested that he make this ring. I wanted something reminiscent of the ring you loved in that store, but I wanted something no one else in this world would have.

Wwoooooooow. Ok, now this is sweet. He was still sticking with her sister at that time and yet he had this ring made for Raven.🥹♥️ OMGGGG

“You’re going to walk down that fucking catwalk with my cum dripping down your thighs,” I tell her. “So you don’t forget for even a single second who the fuck you belong to.”

Ayoooo. Lmaoo. I love it. Ares has a mouth on him man.

I take a step away from her, but she grabs my hand and pulls me back. I chuckle as she kisses me one more time before pushing against my chest, sending me off. Yeah, this is a fucking obsession.

Oh yeah for sure an obsession and possesision but still love. You can be those things in a healthy manner and still be loving and respectful.

Raven no longer speaks to either her mother or sister, but her dad continues to show up to support her in every way

Good for her.

Luca walks up to us, and we all freeze when we notice Valentina behind him, their hands entwined. He smiles at us while Val keeps her gaze downcast.

Uh ohhh...I know what happens next.

“Valentina and I got married,” he says simply. “I’ll need you to cancel my engagement.” Grandma’s eyes roam over the two of them, her disbelief apparent. “We’ll see about that,” she says,

Grandma is so slick yo. Lmaoo. She wanted this..i have no doubt in my mind.😭

For the rest of our lives, I’ll show her what it’s like to truly be someone’s priority, because that’s what she is to me. She’s everything.

♥️.
