A Substitute Bride For Mr. Voss Get In
♧Astrid♧"Don't touch me," I muttered, stepping away from whoever was behind me. Whether he heard me or not, he acted like he didn’t."You're doing so good, baby!" Ophelia yelled over the pounding music. I knew coming here was a mistake. It was supposed to be just one drink while I listened to an obviously drunk Ophelia pour out her heart.But that one drink turned into two, then four, and now here I was—on a crowded dance floor with some random guy pressed up against me."Come on, Phil, we need to leave. Now." I grabbed her wrist, but she just shrugged, flipping her hair over her shoulder."I don’t think so," she mouthed.And then I felt it again —hands, rough and unwelcome, touching me where they shouldn’t.I turned abruptly. And a dark-haired man grinned, his teeth flashing in the dim light before he ran his tongue over his lips like the creep he was."Wanna go home with me?" he yelled over the music.I shot him a glare. "What the fuck, man? Who even are you?"He chuckled. "We were

~Astrid~ I groaned and turned in bed, pulling the pillow over my head to block out the pounding in my skull. It didn’t help. Frustrated, I huffed and shoved the pillow aside, blinking up at the ceiling. My head felt heavy, and God, it throbbed. Tossing the blankets off, I sat up, pressing my palms against my temples. Oh boy. I wasn’t drinking that much again. I glanced around and realized I was in my room—the one I officially claimed after moving into Adrian’s house. How did I get here? The last thing I remembered was walking into the club to get Ophelia. After that, everything was a blur. That could only mean one thing. Adrian had brought me home. He’d been in my space, put me to bed, and even taken off my shoes. I wasn’t sure how to feel about that. Grateful? Embarrassed? Shaking the thought away, I swung my legs over the bed and got up. After brushing my teeth and washing my face, I stepped out of the room and made my way toward the sitting room, hoping to find Adrian. The

♧Adrian♧I drove back home from the office as soon as I got the invitation. I wasn’t supposed to do this, but there was nothing wrong with going to a gala with my 'wife' by my side.The chances of running into my dad were high, and while I had been avoiding him, I couldn’t run away forever.I pulled into the garage and just stared at the house. I had thought living with Astrid would be simple. But hell no, it wasn’t.The moment I walked into her room, I knew exactly why. Her scent, her space—it pulled me in and messed with my head. I wanted to be immersed in it while hating her.I wanted her even though I hated her, and I had no idea how this would turn out. We had three months.Three months until I got my promotion. Three months until we filed for a divorce. Three months to find out if this feeling was mutual. And once we split, I knew I would never see her again.Just like I never saw her after our breakup five years ago. That was the kind of person Astrid was. Once she left, she n

♡Astrid♡I had been tense all night.And it didn’t help that I was about to spend hours with the very reason for my anxiety.Speaking of which, Adrian stepped out of the car as soon as we arrived at the event location. A black mask covered part of his face, but his brown eyes locked onto mine as he held out his hand.I hesitated, glancing around. Aside from the security guards at the entrance, no one else was here.Ignoring his hand, I stepped out of the car on my own. He straightened, tucking his hands into his pockets. I adjusted the red butterfly mask I had chosen to match my dress.Joan and I had gone shopping earlier, and she had helped me pick out dresses suitable for a gala—one of the reasons I now wore a floor-length black gown.The dress hugged my figure perfectly, its thigh-high slit adding an air of elegance. Diamonds adorned the neckline, catching the light and making the fabric shimmer with every movement.Adrian appeared beside me as I stopped in front of the security gu

♧Adrian♧ I kept a close eye on Astrid from across the room, even as I exchanged pleasantries with some of the important dignitaries. My attention was split—part of me focused on her, the other on the man I was avoiding. My father. Instead, I ran into Drake Herman, his long-time friend. Drake raised a brow at me, adjusting the glasses perched on his nose. “Well, look who we have here—Adrian,” he said with a small smirk. I tucked both hands into my pockets, taking my time to assess him. Just like my father, Drake was a billionaire in the mobile industry. It made sense that they stuck together. Birds of a feather, after all. “Mr. Herman,” I addressed him formally. For a man over sixty, he had aged well. “Have you seen your father around?” he asked. I tilted my head slightly. “I never said I was looking for him.” Drake nodded, stepping closer. “He’s been trying to reach you for days. There are rumors going around that you’re getting married, and he—” “They’re not rumors,” I cu

♡Astrid♡A few days had passed since the gala, and Adrian and I had been too busy to even run into each other. Either he was gone before I woke up, or I was asleep before he returned. Keeping track of my husband wasn't exactly at the top of my priorities.Speaking of which, Jason's secretary had reached out and scheduled a meeting for me based on Jason’s availability.I knew he was one of the biggest names in the tech world, and if anyone could help me get revenge on my fake husband, it was him.Just because I had been quiet lately didn’t mean I wasn’t planning. Maybe I’d start by making Adrian jobless and penniless. Maybe, just maybe, he’d go crawling back to his father.But that wasn’t enough. He needed to pay. He was responsible for the death of our child. That night, I had pleaded, cried, and begged, but I couldn't stop them.Now that I was finally in a position to get justice, I wasn’t going to stop until I saw it through.Jason had no idea I was plotting against my husband.

Astrid She cocked her head to the side, her eyes roaming over me once again. "Excuse me? What are you saying?" she asked, and a small sigh escaped me. I didn’t have the strength or patience for Adrian’s runaway fiancée—or whatever she was. "It’s what you heard," I said, stepping forward. I had dinner with my mum to get to, and I was saving my energy for that, not for some random woman. She let out a chuckle, but there was no humor in it. "We were supposed to get married weeks ago. I made the mistake of leaving because..." She trailed off, raising her gaze to mine. "Why should I believe you? I have to see him myself." "Do whatever you want," I said. "But I need you to leave. Call him if you feel like it." I turned toward the gate, knowing that if I stepped closer, it would slide open automatically. Whatever Adrian had programmed into it wasn’t my business. He was the tech guy here. "You were paid, weren’t you?" she asked. I raised a brow and glanced at her over my shoulder. "Th

♤Adrian♤I was in the sitting room, going through some random files. Something that I rarely did.I had a study, but I need a change of scene. It was at that moment she walked in. Head hung low, shoulders hunched and eyes dull.She walked past me and up the staircase without acknowledging my presence. No greetings, no glare, nothing.And that...well, it made me feel uneasy. I was slowly getting used to rousing a reaction from her. Never good, always bad.I glanced at her retreating form as she walked into her room, quietly closing the door behind her. I knew something was wrong.Even though she hated me right now, Astrid had always been full of light. The only time I'd seen her look that sad was when she didn't get into the college she was prying to get into.Other than that, she's always been cheerful until well, our breakup. I turned back to the files I was going through but I wasn't able to concentrate, battling with my inner conscience to either go to her or just let it be.She w

♡Astrid♡His fingers slid into my hair, tugging hard at the roots. My lips parted in a silent moan, a rush of pain and pleasure rushing through me.Let's not even talk about the warmth pooling low in my belly.His eyes met mine, and he raised a brow."Sure you want to do this?" he asked, and I narrowed my eyes."Backing out already?" I shot back, watching the way his lips curved into a smile — a little sadistic, a little knowing.He said nothing else before walking out of my room. I didn’t stop him. I knew exactly where we were going.Even though a part of me hesitated, the rest of me didn’t care. Not anymore."You're wet for me, huh?" he asked, voice hoarse as he pushed the door to his bedroom open and kicked it shut behind us."Wanna find out yourself?" I teased, and he tossed me onto the bed. I propped up on my elbows, heart hammering, trying to guess his next move.But Adrian wasn’t the kind of man you could ever figure out.He grabbed my ankles and yanked me to the edge of the be
A Substitute Bride For Mr. Voss Hate
♡Astrid♡We hadn’t spoken to each other for days. Well, technically, I hadn’t spoken to Adrian and did my best to avoid him.I either stayed in my room all day or left the house more than necessary, even if I had nowhere to go. I’d either take a walk or go to my office.Anything that kept me out of his space. Which explained why I was still locked in my room by past eight in the evening, sleeping.I didn’t get a lot of sleep at night and I couldn’t go to Adrian’s room either, so I just tried fighting the demons myself.And honestly, it hadn’t been very successful.It was a call from Freya that woke me up.Her school had gone on a trip to California — for God knows what — and coincidentally, Mum’s brother stayed over there. Freya had just, well... decided she wasn’t gonna come back.I was fine with it, as long as she was safe and far away from that monster, who we still hadn’t found.“Hey,” I muttered once the call connected, my voice a little groggy as I rubbed my eyes.There was a li

♡Astrid♡I slid my fingers into his hair, and just like that, he kissed me back. His arm tightened around my waist, shaky and desperate, pulling me closer.And, well—it didn’t feel fake. Not even with a pair of eyes on us.His tongue brushed mine, and I pressed a hand to his chest to stop him before things went too far.Because if we didn’t, this wouldn’t end well. We might as well start acting out a porn scene.He must’ve caught the signal because his hand swept along my back before he pulled away. I gave a tight smile and looked off to the side.“I’m surprised you’re back this early,” I muttered, finally meeting his eyes again. They looked like a lighter shade of brown—my favorite kind.That color made him look easygoing, warm, and even funny. But when his eyes went cold, he turned into someone else completely. Detached. Unreachable.“Yeah?” he murmured, running his fingers through my hair. God, that felt so calming. His gaze flicked past me, and I knew—he’d seen her.He raised a br

♤Unknown♤Turning the knob, I walked into the study where Nox was waiting for me.The thick scent of cigarette smoke hit me, and I wrinkled my nose."How many times do I have to tell you not to fucking smoke in my house?" I snapped, shutting the door behind me. He just bared his teeth, plucked the cigarette from his lips, and crushed it into the ashtray.I walked over and sat down across from him. He crossed his legs and leaned back in his seat, moving with an ease that didn’t match his bulk.He was a massive man—dangerous because of it—and that's exactly why I kept him close."It's been a long time, Gary. So why am I here? You don’t just call for nothing," he muttered. I pressed my lips together and leaned forward, grabbing a photo from under one of the files.I pushed it across the table. His eyes stayed on mine for a second before he looked down.His brows pulled together as he stared at the image."She's still alive," I said. He looked up, his gaze meeting mine."It’s been five ye

♤Adrian♤I called Axel the moment I drove out of the compound."Where is he?" I asked as soon as he picked up. There was a pause."My sources say he left the house last night and hasn’t been back. No sign of travel or anything," he said. My jaw tightened."And?""He didn’t look like he was running. Nothing suspicious," Axel added. My brain scrambled trying to piece one and two together. “There’s a good chance he either played us… or he was taken,” Axel muttered. I pressed my lips together.Derrick was smart—but not smart enough to know I had men watching him, close enough to track his every move.So maybe he was abducted. But by who? And why?"How’s the search?" I asked."We’re doing what we can. Nothing solid yet. Tracking his last movements. I’ll update you if anything turns up," he said, sounding frustrated."Even if it’s just a guess, tell me right away," I said and ended the call.I turned the wheel, changing course. I wasn’t heading to the office anymore.I drove to Maya’s.It

♡Astrid♡Hands. Fingers. They were everywhere all over my body, grabbing me roughly.I tried to fight it, but it was stronger than me. Screaming didn't help either, and it felt like I was drowning.And then it felt like the life was being snuffed out of me. I woke up with a gasp, drenched in sweat. I leaned forward and switched on the bed light.Light flooded the room, but it did nothing to help me relax. I was in my room, all alone, and God, it was a little frightening.Moments like this made me wish Freya was still here and hadn't gone on that school trip. But who was I to stop her? She needed to clear her head too, and that trip was a great distraction while I sorted things out.Sliding out of bed, I grabbed my phone and walked barefoot towards the door. I needed a glass of water—it’d calm me down.Once I was outside my room, I knew I didn't need water. I glanced at Adrian's door.Should I go there? Wouldn't it be weird? Yeah, he'd told me two days ago to come in whenever I wante

♡Astrid♡I mumbled something gibberish and snuggled further into the pillow, burying my face in it and taking a long sniff.Smells like Adrian. And it smells so fucking good.Wait... why does my bed smell like Adrian?That’s when I realized—I wasn’t in my bed at all.I opened one eye and was greeted by the sight of dark walls.I opened the other to be sure of what I was seeing. Yup, the walls were dark, radiating masculine energy, and definitely not mine.I sat up, brushing my hair out of my face before looking around the room. Adrian was nowhere to be found.He didn’t return last night? Well, it didn’t matter. I swung my legs off the bed and stood up, quickly smoothing out my wrinkled clothes.It was better to leave now before he popped out of nowhere.Scurrying toward the door, I turned the knob and opened it—only to run headfirst into someone.Judging from how sweaty the person was—I knew it was Adrian.I stumbled back, heart in my mouth, and looked up.He just stood there, straigh

♤Adrian♤Once Astrid and Joan finished whatever it was they were all about — the wedding — Astrid and I got home and went our separate ways.I walked into my bedroom, shut the door, and undressed quickly. Grabbing my laptop from the nightstand, I sat on the bed and opened it.I still had some digging to do on Derrick before meeting with him.I’d had one of my men fix a fake meeting with him to discuss “goods.”Obviously, after he disappeared from Astrid's life nine or ten years ago, he went into drug trafficking. Now, suddenly, he reappears — needing a new place to stay after being on the wanted list in California. He moves back to Brooklyn, and well… Maya lets him in.Unknown to her, she’s harboring a hard-core criminal. And not just that. He tried abusing his own daughter. There are records of him sexually abusing girls in California. Turns out he's not only a drug trafficker — he's a pedophile and a rapist.And that brings me to why I'm invested in this case.He touched Astrid.
A Substitute Bride For Mr. Voss Meet Up
♤Adrian♤Astrid stepped in front of me as we walked into the restaurant. I watched her dominate the space.She probably didn't know it, but whenever she walked into a room, she owned it. The air shifted—and then it was all about her. I liked it then. I still do now.Her hips swayed in the black dress she wore, drawing my attention to it. Her dress ended mid-thigh. And, well, it turns out she was the hottest woman I’d seen in a while. And it did something to my insides that she had my ring on her finger—whether real or fake.Tucking both hands into my pockets, I followed at a steady pace as she sashayed to the table where Aaron and his fiancée sat.The smile on Aaron’s face dropped the second he saw her. Then his expression hardened when he saw me.I just raised a brow."Hey. Sorry, we’re late," Astrid said, and I pulled her chair out. She glanced at me, her eyes softening."Thank you," she muttered, brushing her fingers over my arm. I nodded and sat down next to her."No, no, we ju
