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

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
Billionaire's Substitute Bride Chapter 23
Edward’s POV~Latching the door, I sat on the sofa next to her bedside. I stared at her and recalled the night that girl saved me.Sixteen years ago~My mother went on a business trip with my father two days ago, and I had to bear John’s constant bullies. My school was the best way to skip house difficulties.I didn’t want to stay alone with him, but I had no other choice.“Hey, Edward! Are you coming to the festival?”“Tobin!” I looked back over my shoulder.He pointed to his parents’ car.“No! You can go! Huxley hasn’t come yet. I’m not allowed to go without him.”Tobin looked up at the sky and continued, “Are you sure he would come to pick you up? It is getting dark!”“Don’t worry, it is better to wait here rather than make him worried. My parents are away, so it can trouble him. I don’t want him to be blamed because of me.”Tobin nodded and said farewell, going to his parents. He waved his hand. I responded with a bitter smile.I waited there for an hour and terror bobbled within
Billionaire's Substitute Bride Chapter 24
Edward's POV~Olive kept struggling to release herself from my grip. She did not recognize me and due to her illness, I could say she wasn't even sure where she was or if I was a real person."Let go of me, you b*st*rd!"But she had seen half of my face. Was she playing with me?I couldn't say but my rage flooded when I recalled how she tricked me. She was as shrewd as the rest of her family.She was shivering in fear, and it was obvious she had a defensive character about not being touched."You are a cunning woman, aren't you?"Her face reddened, but I didn't let go of her and held her intensely."You are not an innocent woman. You just pretend to be one only to buy yourself attention and mercy. Pathetic!""Stop it, you are an *ssh*le.""Edward, Help!"I wished that she wasn't manipulated by John. If so, she could stay with me. Her loyalty would be rewarded but first, she needed to be punished for what she had done. I wasn't a merciful human being forgiving mistakes. This one was a

Notice: Dear readers the system has a glitch and missing Chapters will appear on Monday working hours. I apologize for the error.Olive's POV~Touching my head, I looked up at him. He turned the light on, and I shut my eyes."Ouch!""Did you lock the door? I used my keys to get in!""Sorry, but I was unstable.""I don't remember if I did it! Nightmares didn't let go of me."He stared at me intently. I gulped, fearing that he would kill my father even for an illusion. He could accuse me."I have an arrangement for us!""What?" I stammered.I guessed he kept another surprise in his sleeves to torment me."From now onwards, you'll stay with me here in my chamber."I gazed at him with wide eyes, my cheeks blushed again."What is that face? Ordinary couples sleep together, aren't we included?"I nodded calmly.We were ordinary couples now?! Did he come up with another plan to embarr*ss me again?He approached with a food cart and gave me a gl*ss of orange juice.Taking a sip, I felt better
Billionaire's Substitute Bride Chapter 26
Edward's POV~Either time I came to the graveyard to visit my late mother, the throb in my heart escalated. I wasn't a good son. A good son would have protected her.I put the Lilly flower banquet down on the cold stone.Sitting and putting my hands in my pockets, I smiled to suppress my distress."Another year p*ssed, Mom! But this time, something happened. I got married to a gorgeous girl. Forgive me for not coming earlier. Perhaps one day I will come here with her. Her name is Olive. At first, I was certain of what I was going to do with her but now I'm unsure of it. I'm a cruel man, Mom!"Taking a breath, I looked up at the cloudy sky."Mother, I feel that she has done something to my heart. I need you to help me."That was true! I wanted my mom to help me. John was one step ahead the moment I decided to marry Elenore. It alerted me to be wary.He would never refrain from filthy actions to bring me down. And he wouldn't be satisfied only with that, he would make sure I die."John
Billionaire's Substitute Bride Chapter 27
Olive's POV~His fingers stroke my shoulders. His touch was as if a cold breeze. I felt a daze when his kiss ran deeper and his hands explored my body. Our tongues interlaced and played together.I gave in to his aura! To whatever the fu*k he was doing to me.Our fingers intertwined. I closed my eyes when he kneaded my breasts. My breath hitched and an unwanted moan left my mouth.His tongue touched every part of my mouth smoothly. So I found the courage to help him take his shirt off but suddenly he pulled back."You are not resisting!"He murmured.I rubbed my eyes off shamelessly but he seized my mouth and kissed me harder.My blood was scorching, I could feel that I was getting wet. I didn't even know how interested I was to be with him.His oppression left no place to mention, and his cruelty landed upon me countless times. He enjoyed my pain, I know all of this, and yet, I demonstrated renunciation.But also, I was aware that he didn't want to be like this, a devil! The way he l

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
