Billionaire's Substitute Bride Chapter 15
Olive’s POV~I was cleaning my room. It was a small room but furnished beautifully and placed in the corridor that led to the kitchen. Thinking about my school and the courses I missed pricked my nerves.A week has p*ssed since our last misty encounter in the study room. Why misty? Because I felt changes in his expression the moment I mentioned he deserved the best.He didn’t give an affirmation, so I didn’t have any clue whether would he permit me to help him or not? Besides, he left afterward and didn’t come back.Last night, I received a text message from my father. He apologized for disturbing me as long as I warned them not to contact me and that we must sever our ties. I was sure he was curious about why I should do that to him.He told me that my university had called him multiple times and he had to visit the supervisor.I didn’t respond to his message because he had settled everything and asked them to give me a month of leave. I was sure he had to pay an amount. But I wanted
Billionaire's Substitute Bride Chapter 16
Edward’s POVMy hand moved to her smoothly, instinctively. I wanted to caress her head. She smelled good, as though lavender. I pushed the stray strands off her beautiful face. Suddenly, John’s face appeared in my mind to scatter and burn the tiny sympathy.Walking out, I faced Huxley’s twinkling eyes. Was he excited to hear something?We strode out, and I saw the new housekeeper they hired. This woman was in her early thirties and seemed humble. I could not bear bully wenches around Elenore. Only I could do whatever I wanted to her.“You must be Mira! How was her behavior in the past few days?”She smiled gently, “She is hardworking, and after finishing her chores, she studies very hard. She behaved very well.”I went to my room after hearing that, and Huxley closed the door behind us.“I was worried about you. Did you get hurt?”“Not a serious one. Just a scratch.”He grabbed my leather jacket when his eyes fell on my bandaged arm.“Are you sure?”“Yeah, we settled the chaos, but th

Olive’s POV~Getting into the car, Edward kept his distance away from me, and I took a deep breath. I felt pleased that he didn’t commit something wrong to irritate me in front of the driver.“Are you studying a lot lately?”He asked suddenly.“How do you know?”“Crows told me!”He smirked.“I see. Have you been busy?”“I have. Did you miss me?”Of course not! I should have said that, but it consumed so much strength and bravery that it left me with not a single drop!“Possibly you have missed him!”I averted my head to glance at him.“Who?”“John! You must be happy about this reunion!”“I don’t like him.”He didn’t seem to believe me and I didn’t explain further. He might want to extract information about the brother he hated, but I knew nothing about Johnathan, quite nothing.After two hours, we arrived downtown and his driver drove to a hill. I could swear that from that zone, you could view the entire city.As soon as we got out of the car, a chill embraced me. Hugging my arms, I

Edward’s POV~Silence invaded the dining hall. My eyes rolled to Grandfather, but he was gazing at John.“Johnathan? Is there anything you must explain?”Everyone’s attention was drawn to John, who had forgotten all about his pain.“Grandfather, I didn’t get what you meant. What business can I have with my sister-in-law?”This *ssh*le! I saw how he had been looking at Elenore. I was sick of them interacting right across my sight.“Did you hurt her?”Mr. Johnson asked again.“Of course not! I bumped into her accidentally!”He shook his head and turned to Elenore. “Forgive us, daughter. My sons like to fool around.”He frowned and faced me. The poor man had no idea how nasty these two were.“Don’t bother this daughter with someone else’s mistake. I hate your obsession.”“Don’t mind me, please.” I babbled, as I did not want him to suffer more than this.My grandfather pouted, spun around, and trailed off. “Take my daughter to the farm and pick some strawberries for her. I planted them.”
Billionaire's Substitute Bride Chapter 19
Olive’s POV~“You smell so good, baby!”“Get off me, *ssh*le.”It agitated my whole body in rage when Jonathan’s voice rang in my head. Pushing him away as hard as I could manage, my mind just warned me to run.Edward must have heard that and judging by the scene, I wasn’t even sure how to explain it to him.His indignant expression had enough to say what he contemplated. My heart was about to jump out of my mouth while running in a corridor and finding a maid.“Sorry, where is the room I was supposed to see my husband?”I asked, gasping and looking back to see if Edward was after me.“That one at the end of the corridor.”I rushed to the door and sneaked inside the room.The maid I went outside with should have told me where to wait for Edward, but she took off to pack the strawberries and I forgot to ask.We were about to go home but Johnathan came out of the blue. That reek rat. He descended upon my path like a predator.Elenore was careful to find a jerk just like herself and stuc
Billionaire's Substitute Bride Chapter 20
Olive’s POV~A destructive pain and irritation skittered between my legs, right in my intimate part, and I felt the flesh ripped apart.My eyes snapped open. I glanced at the ceiling.“This is not where I’m supposed to be!”It was the orphanage’s outworn building. The place was in the countryside near our city.I gasped and strived to sit, but I couldn’t. My body was scorching, my stomach twitched, and it pinned me to the worn-out bed.I wore a white nightgown and sweat drenched my body, glued the dress on my body.Drawing my palm on my forehead, I looked at it. Was I pulled out of a pool?Sitting straight with so much effort, I took in the surroundings, only to jump out of the creaking bed in terror.“What the h*ll am I doing here?”I was in the orphanage, and suddenly the groaning iron door ran wide, and two girls that I knew very well rushed inside.“We received a few aids this year.”My friend, Gia! We were sharing the same bed in this room. A year before, one of the room's walls
Billionaire's Substitute Bride Chapter 21
Edward’s POV.When I hung up on Kit’s call, I turned around to question the girl, but she fell unconscious.“h*ll, no! Hey!”I didn’t know her name.Approaching her, I discovered beads of sweat on her face. She fainted already, and it proved to me no one had touched her before.Wearing my shirt and pulling up my pants, I yelled, “Huxley!”Yanking the door open, I rushed out. My mind was blowing and progressing. What I just heard was impossible to digest.I felt my knees losing strength, and my heart lost the correct function of pumping blood.My vision blurred when I entered the corridor and saw Huxley running towards me.“Edward!”I could hear his voice, but it soon silenced when I asked him to call a doctor. It was just the whistle in my head again.After an hour, I was sitting by her side in my bedroom. My personal physician attended to her and checked up on everything I asked, step by step.“Was she truly a virgin?”The doctor wore a grim face. “Didn’t you know that?”I directed m
Billionaire's Substitute Bride Chapter 22
Edward’s POV~I parked the car near the shore for a while. The sun was rising and warm rays expanded along the water surface.Coming here with my mother was something else, but she was taken away from me, and my soul turned cold like this air.Until I saw this girl’s eyes. I did not have a prospect before about how one can melt the ice in my heart. Should I call it seduction? Or fate? But her manner wasn’t even close to seducing someone. She was just too real, too much for someone like John.And it stung my brain. How could such a person end up like this? Did she love her sister so much to sacrifice herself or did they delude her?I could not lie to myself. This girl attracted and enticed me. And I couldn’t deny that I was interested in her while she didn’t even attempt to catch my attention. Somehow, she tried to escape from me.If she was reluctant, why did she allow them to replace her?Could it be that she liked me?The icy breeze burned my cheeks, and I felt butterflies in my sto

Olive~The next day, I woke up early and took a shower with Edward. When he was drying my hair with the towel, I grabbed his hand and asked him to sit down."What do you think, should I go and see her?"He shrugged, "If you ask my opinion, they were cruel to you."He paused and kissed my knuckles, "But if you don't see her now, it remains your biggest regret. You'll be thinking about it constantly."I nodded, "Would you come with me?""Of course, you are not in a situation to be alone."I cupped his face and kissed him as hard as I could. As we parted, he smiled, "Then we should get ready now. Give me that *ssh*le's number. I'll call him."I laughed! Was he talking about Arvin? He wasn't a bad person, poor guy.Giving him the phone number, I got dressed and we were ready to leave when Mira caught us in the living room."What about your breakfast?"Mira asked us."We will eat outside!"Ed replied and we got out. An hour later, we met Arvin in front of the hospital."She had a bad night

Kit~I took the last sip of my drink and tapped on Tobin's shoulder."Party is over for us. Time to give some lessons to John!"I peeked at John who was talking to a few of his friends. He was entirely distracted when I approached Elenore.Near her ear, I whispered, "Let's talk in the parking lot!""What for?"I winked at her, "Speaking my heart to you!"I gave her a seductive grin, one of those I rarely offered someone with. She was unnerving and troublesome. As Ed indicated, we could not let her off this easily.I rushed to the parking lot of the hotel. The engagement party was growing hotter and no one paid attention to our absence.Everyone's attention was on the music group we invited.As I expected, my trick toiled on her. It wasn't a surprise. She liked powerful men and it didn't cost me much to lure her.I walked out of the dark, leaning on my car.She smiled and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear."Well, what is the word of your heart?"Tobin appeared behind her, shak
Billionaire's Substitute Bride Chapter 103
Edward~It took me two days to come back to a stable condition. During that time, Olive didn't leave my side. I was elated she had become more cautious.She didn't leave my side at all and was supposed to read books and take good care of me. Seeing this side of her made me even more fall over my heels for her.I couldn't wait for the day I could walk again. But there was something that bothered me a lot.I was not sure whether to ask her or not. I was terrified to say something she didn't like and anger her. Losing her could not take any place in my dish.I was tired of losing people and being disappointed.However, I took the bitter pill and swallowed it, asking her about the reason why she freaked out and left me."Olive, stop m*ssaging my legs, they are much better now.""You were groaning in pain last night. I must keep doing these till you become able to walk and sleep better.""Then just give me your ears."She nodded. She looked even more stunning than before."I'm all ears, do

Olive~The next day, I couldn't sit by and ignore what was going on in the ICU. Layla hadn't come to visit me since this morning, and I refused to eat unless they let me see how Edward's condition was.It was around noon when Layla came inside and scowled at me."Have you not eaten?"I shook my head."I lost my relish. They do not let me see him.""You can't go inside the room. His lungs have been infected and you are not still in a perfect condition. We must take care of him.""Have you moved here because of us?"She bobbed her head, "Half of the day here and the other half in the central hospital. I'm an exception but this is temporary."I tried to blink my tears away but it kept coming."Hey, hey! Don't do this!"She approached and held my hand, her expression saddened."I'm worried. I won't go inside, just behind the gl*ss, please!"She let out a heavy breath and tapped on my hand."Only a few minutes, you know the rules."She nodded and helped me to get down the bed.She held my

I struggled to open the seat belt. And the car was drowning. My heart hurt and my lungs lacked air.I was losing consciousness when I felt a hand on my shoulder.The surroundings around me reversed. A chubby cute little boy grabbed my hand."Mommy! This way!"We began to run in the garden, it was a warm delightful sunny day. Suddenly, everything swayed into the wild waters, the boy was floating, and I struggled to hold his hand."Don't let go!"I shouted but his hand slipped and he drifted further and farther away.I screamed desperately, begging for help.I blinked and opened my eyes, masculine arms wrapped around me and pulled me up. They lifted me above the water's surface.~Edward~Her car fell into the water and I didn't hesitate, pulling over there I jumped down. Losing her was nothing I could bear.The car was drowned when I reached her and unbuckled the seat belt. I felt my lungs running out of air and pulled her out, swimming up, I pushed her up with all my might.If one of

Edward~Lately, my hands were tied. I was looking for Gregory and his influences when I heard Interpol had arrested them. I used my connections to talk with Maya's attorney in a restaurant."Why would they arrest Maya?""Are you going to help her out?"I shook my head, "If she had killed her boyfriend, why should I do that at all?""It was your wife who sent her to jail! She plotted against her and Maya won't forgive this."My head grew numb! Olive? How did she realize this? How did she manage? She couldn't be alone."Then I must thank her! I was about to trust Maya again. Besides, I want you to send a message to Mason."The attorney frowned, "We don't seek war!""Neither do I want that. Just tell him to restrain his people. If something happens to Kit again, I will burn this world, let alone his community."I menaced and he just looked at me. I got what I wanted. I needed to hear this from Olive and possibly Dane. She couldn't gather information about Maya and Gregory alone so the br

Elenore~John was sucking on my breasts. He returned last night and after greeting his grandfather, he asked to visit me in a hotel."Why did you disappear?"I breathed, gasping!He moaned and hushed me. Half an hour later, we plunged into the mattress and he dragged me close to his chest."I realized Maya failed to do the job!"I burst into laughter."How long have you known about her?"He kissed my shoulder, it tingled my skin."Last year, I saw her father in a meeting in the US. He asked me whether I could gain the CEO position. I said if I gained it, would he invest in our company? He revealed his interest."My mood soured after hearing it, "To get what in exchange?""He *ssumed I would marry his daughter!""And you would have accepted only to burn Ed's *ss!""Nope! I knew about her secrets and how dangerous she was. She killed a man to gain his wealth."My back chilled and I turned around to face him."Are you fu*king serious?"He nodded and his fingers brushed on my curves."Yup

Olive~"He has no idea that whore is tempted to kill his best friend! How can he keep his affairs with her!"My heart was broken. I felt my eyes getting warm and stopped my brain from overthinking.The next day, I was sitting in the garden when he came to me. He reached his hand out to pull the blanket upper on my shoulder when I dodged."Are you going to meet your grandpa?"My voice was cold but I tried not to make him suspicious."Yes, I am; it is cold, are you not going inside?""It is getting warm, I'm fine."He kneeled before me, putting on the same disgusting soft act."Do you need anything?""Yes, not to see your face every second!"I swallowed. I lied! Deeply, I wish we had known each other in some other way. Even though it couldn't change his desires! His heart belonged to the people in the past.He stood up and kissed my head, "I'll be back late. Make sure you eat well."I ignored him but peeked to see if he left.I jumped on my feet and stormed inside."Layla and I are goin

Maya~"Where are you, Elenore? Are you ignoring me?"I have been calling you since yesterday."I heard the news, she is pregnant! But how can you be sure that’s Edward's child?"This b*tch told me Olive was a virgin and now giving me a conceivable reason.She has changed!"You say that you have no interest in helping me, don't you?""Listen, she is pregnant. He won't give up on her. Just stop bothering yourself and wasting time."I hung up immediately, punching the table in front of me. The coffee spilled out of the cup. I looked outside of the window.I have been staying in this hotel to make sure the house I would step in was going to be his."I won't lose to a stupid girl. He wants to be with her, so I let him leave this world but not now.."I was about to dial Gregory's number when an unknown phone number appeared on my screen."Let's see each other.""Olive?""Yes, I want to talk to you.""I'll send you the location."So serious! She hung up, and I was astonished. My fingers numb
