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

A Substitute Bride For Mr. Voss A Text
♡Astrid♡When I woke up the next morning, I was alone in bed — in my room. It felt a little too quiet.I sat up slowly and rubbed my forehead. My head was pounding. I looked around the room. Where was Freya?“Fre?” I called out. My voice was raspy. Maybe she was in the bathroom? But there was no answer.I pushed the blanket off and swung my legs over the edge of the bed. Please don’t tell me she left and went to the living room. If she did, she might’ve run into… fuck!I quickly left the room, not bothering to close the door. As I went downstairs, I tried not to move too fast because of my headache.When I reached the bottom and looked into the living room, I saw her. Freya was sitting on the couch with her legs crossed. I let out a breath, feeling relieved — until I saw who was sitting across from her.Adrian.What the hell?Back when Adrian and I were dating, he and Freya were always at each other's neck.Now? Freya was glaring at him, and Adrian just stared at her like he didn’t ca
A Substitute Bride For Mr. Voss Kiss Me
♤Adrian♤She still had her arms around me. To say I momentarily froze was an understatement. Hell, I had no idea what the fuck was going on."Astrid," I called quietly, my arms stiff at my sides, unsure of what to do. She sniffled and tightened her grip, holding on like I was the only thing keeping her from falling apart."One second, Voss," she muttered, voice small, almost pleading. I let her.I couldn’t push her away, not when she was like this. I couldn’t even ask why—because, well, it was none of my fucking business.But I knew. It had something to do with why her sister was here. She dodged my question earlier, right before we hit the road, and that told me all I needed to know—she didn’t want to talk about it.I had my own things I didn’t want to talk about either.Her grip loosened, and she took a step back. The loss of her warmth hit immediately, like stepping outside on a cold night.She brushed her hair out of her face, but in the darkness, I couldn’t see her expression. I
A Substitute Bride For Mr. Voss A Moment
♡Astrid♡We arrived at the compound within minutes. Freya was still curled up at my side, and I stroked her hair absentmindedly, my mind racing with what to do next.Derrick wouldn’t be put on trial without solid evidence. Just Freya and me testifying wouldn’t be enough either. Hell, I even doubted if Mom would believe us.She trusted that man—loved him, even. That scumbag.There was no way I was letting Freya go back to that house while Derrick was still there.Adrian killed the ignition and adjusted the rearview mirror, his eyes meeting mine. He raised a brow but stayed silent.I pressed my lips together and rubbed Freya’s shoulder gently."Hey," I whispered. She lifted her head slightly. "We need to go in now, yeah?"She nodded and sat up. Adrian stepped out of the car, and she glanced at him before turning back to me."You really married him, huh?" she murmured.I gave a small smile before opening the door and stepping out. She followed.Adrian stood outside, waiting. Once we we
A Substitute Bride For Mr. Voss Derrick...again?
♡Astrid♡ My phone rang the moment we got home. Freya's name flashed on the screen. I glanced at Adrian, who was already heading toward the cellar where he kept his drinks. He grabbed a bottle and took a long swig straight from it. Oh well, that was my cue to disappear. We’d done enough socializing for the day. Swiping at the green button, I brought the phone to my ear as I climbed the stairs. "Hey, Fre," I muttered. Silence. "Hey," she finally said, her voice quiet. I frowned as I reached my bedroom door, unlocked it, and stepped inside. Yeah, I always locked my door before leaving. The last thing I wanted was someone going through my things. "What's wrong?" I asked. Freya was never this quiet. She was always bubbly, always ready to yell into my ear the second I picked up. I tossed my bag onto the bed and sat down, undoing my shoes while waiting for her to answer. A sniff on the other end made me pause. "Freya?" My body tensed. "What's going on?" "It's nothing… Mum isn't
A Substitute Bride For Mr. Voss Not by Coincidence
♤ Adrian ♤Her lips were soft and warm—just as I remembered.The moment they met mine, a flood of old memories crashed through me, ones I hadn’t dared revisit in years. I brushed my thumb over her cheek, feeling the warmth of her skin beneath my touch. She parted her lips slightly, just enough to make my heart do a ridiculous, foolish skip.My heart did a silly skip, and I pulled away, stopping the kiss before it went… well, over the top. My eyes met hers just as my father stopped at our table.There was lingering heat and confusion swirling in her blue irises. There was something unreadable in her gaze—something that made me wonder if she felt the same pull I did.I ignored the man glaring down at me. How the fuck was he here? And no, this wasn’t a coincidence. Nothing ever happened by chance where Gary Voss was involved.I leaned back in my seat as she glanced at the towering figure beside us, her face flushing a slight shade of red.She was blushing.I sighed and checked my wri
A Substitute Bride For Mr. Voss PDA
♡Astrid♡A warm hand slid around my waist, pulling me into his chest as we made our way toward a table facing the entrance.There were only a handful of people scattered around, but all eyes were on us as we settled into our seats. Conversations slowly dulled out to whispers.Adrian sat opposite me, his gaze flickered to the door while I had my back to it. A waiter approached, clutching a menu.“Welcome to Glamour. What may I get you?” he asked, and Adrian’s eyes shifted to me. He tilted his head slightly, silently urging me to order first.I cleared my throat, glancing up at the waiter.“Can I take a look at the menu?” I asked, and he gave me a polite smile before handing it over. I skimmed through it, pressing my lips together.Finally, I handed it back to him.“Pan- seared salmon with lemon butter sauce and yeah, asparagus. I'd love to have a glass of bourbon too,” I muttered, and he nodded, turning to Adrian, who gave a small nod.“A bottle of classic martini for me,” Adrian said,
A Substitute Bride For Mr. Voss Paparazzi?
♡Astrid♡We left the house together by noon. Well, I had to get to work, and he... I don’t know. Whatever Adrian Voss did to keep himself busy.What I didn’t expect was to see a group of paparazzi in front of my office.Adrian slowed down as I stared through the tinted glass windows. Nora and Sloane were outside, trying to curtail the group, who kept shoving microphones and flashing cameras in their faces.I shuddered lightly. How the fuck did they find my office?I swallowed hard and unbuckled my seatbelt. It was me they wanted, right? No need for them to harass my PA and secretary.I made to step out of the car when Adrian’s hand stopped me, firm on my thigh. I turned to stare at him, and he just cocked his head to the side.“What are you doing?” he asked, and I glanced down at where his hand rested on me. He slowly removed it, placing it on the steering wheel.“I’m going out. They’re harassing my employees,” I said, and he looked at me like I’d suddenly lost my mind.“They’re out t

♡Astrid♡The news was everywhere by the morning, splashed across every platform I could think of. No wonder my phone wouldn’t stop buzzing with calls and messages.Oh, and of course, my social media was no exception. Adrian was right—if this exploded, both our reputations would take a hit. And here we are.Don’t get me started on the comments. Cruel, biting, and downright nasty. Apparently, a good number of women weren’t thrilled that I married Adrian—and in secret, no less.I groaned, shutting off my phone and rolling onto my back, staring blankly at the ceiling. Fantastic. My life was just about to become a circus.Silly of me to think I could get out of this sham of a marriage without consequences. Really laughable.I stayed in bed for a few more minutes, delaying the inevitable. The reality outside my door—and a certain brown-eyed man—weren’t things I was eager to face.And speaking of him, we were going to have to put on a whole show until the news died down. Touching, smiling,
