The Unwanted Bride

Chapter 4

When I remained quiet Cole quirked his eyebrow at me in the sexiest way possible,waiting for a response.

"Look who decided to join in on the fun."The man behind me,the one who resembled Cole , muttered with a hint of amusement in his voice.

Cole was still looking at me and reluctantly lifted his gaze in a drowsy manner to stare at the entrance.His entire body tensed at what he saw ,prompting me to follow his gaze.

What got him so worked up?

A group of men stood at the doorway,three to be exact.Each of them resembled each other in a way that anyone would know just by one look that they were siblings or at least  shared some close relation.

I studied the men more closely,they were all inexplicably handsome,none so much as the prince in front of me but enough so to make all the women's hearts flutter by just one look.Was this family flooding with exceptionally good looking men?What surprised me however was the way in which the men were dressed,each looking fierce from their leather jackets to their biker boots...they looked like they were ready for a bike race not that of an engagement ceremony.

Cole stiffened as one of the men returned his gaze. I watched as the man said something to the rest of them before all of their gazes snapped up to us.

I swallowed as they started in our direction,without realising it I slowly crept up behind Cole,sensing the tension between the two groups.

At first, both sides just continued to glare at one another.Cole was the first to speak.

"What are you doing here?"he sneered.

The tallest of the group quirked an eyebrow at him. "Should we leave and tell mother that her beloved stepson threw us out of his engagement party?"

Did he just say stepson?What on earth was going on here?

"I mean,I'm sure she would be devastated we left, after all,she was the one who begged us to come visit."He continued.

"I'm sure she isn't going to be all that pleased when she sees her sons looking like a bunch of gangsters."The man who resembled Cole spoke up."I mean,I could finally see why mother preferred living with her stepsons rather than her own blood children."He spat back,looking amused at the deadly look on all three of the men's faces.

"You better tell your little brother to stop putting his mouth into grown up conversations."The tall guy spoke again."The last thing you want is something to happen to the little prince Liam,right?"he threatened.

Prince Liam?Well that would explain the close resemblance he shared with Cole.

Liam's fist knotted in a ball as he took a step forward in their direction.

Cole stepped in front of his brother giving him a meaningful stare."Not here."He warned.

"Yeah,hide behind your brother Liam."One of the other men spoke up for the first time while the others chuckled around him. "Just like always."

Cole's fist tightened at his side and I knew he was going to end up in a fight if someone didn't do something about these men soon.

Did I really want the highlight of my engagement night to be a fight between the princes and these men whom I knew nothing about?
I could already see the heading on the front page of the morning newspaper and all the famous television networks.

I wouldn't be able to stand the horror on my mother's face if something like that were to happen.But was that the only reason why I didn't want to see the prince getting into a fight tonight?Why did it feel like I wanted to protect him?I shook my head immediately...that couldn't be it.

Mustering up all my courage,I quickly positioned myself between the two groups of men.However, I wasn't prepared for when all their gazes turned to me in surprise and wonder.

Well,I see getting their attention wasn't at all difficult ...what was the next step however?I knew I had to place their attention elsewhere so that they wouldn't kill each other by the end of the night, I just didn't think about what I would do after I had gotten their attention.

What was a woman to do when five gorgeous men were staring down at her at the exact same time?
