Billionaire's Substitute Bride Chapter 39
Edward's POV~Last night was strange, and I was not sure whether to hate or love it. It was nice to spend time with my brothers and Olive. But, my grandma contacted me out of the blue, and I knew it was for John's sake, his favorite grandchild.Knocking on Olive's door, I waited to see if she let me in. I didn't want to interrupt her studies as long as she was p*ssionate and didn't want to miss her *ssignments. I guessed that she was left behind by being limited from joining her courses."Come in!"I opened the door slowly and walked inside. She closed the book and glanced at me."Physiology!""Yup!"She m*ssaged her shoulder when I approached and placed my palm on her shoulder."Let me do it!"M*ssaging her, she looked up at me."Are you here to say something?"I nodded, "We must move."She jumped up and looked at me in surprise!"Are you serious?""Do you like this place?"She seemed nervous."It is not that I hate it here, I'm thinking about your safety! Someone attempted to kill y
Billionaire's Substitute Bride Chapter 40
Edward's POV~I was on my way back home and couldn't get rid of the resentment my grandma injected into me. I could see how serious she was to menace me.Each word she uttered came to strike me like a thunderbolt. I had no clue this far she would go. John used her emotions and hatred to force her against me.I sighed and leaned my head back. This unhealthy family of mine shouldn't harm Olive. She dreamed of being a nurse and helping others. And I dreamed of having her by my side.Was it love? I had never loved a woman! I couldn't imagine myself living without her."Sir, since we left the mansion, someone has been following us. Soon we'll reach the bridge to the island."I looked back and saw how close the car was. I knew that face. That was Elenore Levine!A sneer stretched along my face.Why was she following me?"Do you wish to get rid of her?"I shook my head upon seeing how eagerly she was following me. Ignoring and turning her down felt so good. If she bothered Olive, I would giv

Olive's POV~A deluge of rain showered and whacked the windows, making me come back to my senses after being caught by his sensations.It was stormy outside and lightning relentlessly flashed out of clouds, drawing our attention. It could be the last night I saw this view while my heart was shaking.When he mentioned, Love, my heart sank. He wanted me to stay and love him. I was touched by his tone and his honesty. He was behaving like a mafia badboy in novels who fell in love with a naive girl. However, his possessiveness scared me.His true sentiments were emitting hot air suddenly, as though he had suppressed them for a long time and something made him unleash it.Did he start loving me? I couldn't say. I thought he wasn't a man of dedication, devotion, and Love.But were I right? I don't know.I had a relationship before and my ex didn't keep me grounded like Edward did. In the end, he cheated on me with the wench who hated me.Now, a man who wasn't less than a monster respected m
Billionaire's Substitute Bride Chapter 42
Edward's POV~I entered the company lobby. Besides the warm air, another heat struck my face. Eyes! Sights were sending daggers toward me. They were following me on each step I took to the elevator.The atmosphere wasn't as usual, but tense and sick. They were looking at me differently as though I had stolen something from them.I was aware of their feelings. Half of them were afraid of me, and the other half disliked me. A small group of them were loyal to Grandpa so they decided to bear it with me and smile.What an ominous day!Despite all of that, I had only one thing on my mind. To divorce Elenore and marry Olive as soon as possible.Entering my new office, my *ssistant quickly came inside."Raymond! What made you panic?"Raymond was in his early thirties and a trustworthy man who was always by my side. A good *ssistant who cared about his job and his boss."Sir, as you demanded I called Mr. Levine to pursue the divorce registration today but he indicated he was ill and unable to
Billionaire's Substitute Bride Chapter 43
Olive's POV~Wasn't he in his office? I expected him to call Kit who might be around. But he came in person. I couldn't predict it. What he said soothed my heart. Was he truly sincere about us?The thought of how he tried to protect me kindled my heart."Why did you come?"His arm lay around my shoulder, "because I missed you."I felt the heat on my cheeks. It burned hot. My eyes rolled at Huxley's smiling face."Now, everything is alright!"Huxley stated and walked away in relief.I looked embarr*ssed. Recently, Edward came to confess his feelings frankly. At first, it was when we were alone, and now he shamelessly uttered his heart in front of others.It might take a long time for me to get used to his new tempers. However, I was scared to be surprised by his vicious side again."It is getting late. I must go to school."He kissed my forehead, and I dodged his arms. Going to the door, I mentioned, "Don't you think I am left behind enough?""Come on! Stop worrying about that. I had m
Billionaire's Substitute Bride Chapter 44
Olive's POV~Fear drilled my head! Why did I care? Edward was an unpredictable man, and I penetrated his household to save my father. No one promised me a permanent position as a wife. Even after our last conversation, he did not come to tell me whether he applied for divorce or not!He did not even give me a good answer and just asked me to stay with him. But for how long?"Hey get back here! Are you sure everything is alright? Vanessa, that wench was in the corridor after our cl*ss."My stomach twitched when I heard her name. That night screened in my head. After sleeping with David, she had achieved her goal. I hoped she never appeared on my way again."No! I don't give a d*mn about her and her affairs. My actual problem is something else. Nevermind! Tell me about you! Any new boyfriend?"She sighed and shook her head, "I couldn't have imagined us being offered contractual marriage."I raised my brow, bowing my head to meet her lowered eyes."Is that why you are curious about my ma
Billionaire's Substitute Bride Chapter 45
Olive's POV~Calling a cab, I looked back. Elenore could cause chaos in front of others. The school was the only place I felt safe, but she wanted to make it h*ll the next day.A while later, I saw a bakery. The scent of bread had spread in the street. I was close to home and nothing could have happened if I walked fast.I called Mira and told her not to worry, and that I would be home in ten minutes.Going to the bakery, I bought a few loaves of bread. Walking out, I looked up at the sky. It was getting rainy.Heading home, I turned into a lane to make the path shorter when I felt two men were following me."d*mn!"Two other men appeared in front of me, and I could no longer go back or proceed ahead."Who the h*ll are you?"I was ready to beat them but all of them attacked at once. I kicked the first one and hit the second one with my backpack.Abruptly, one of them sprayed something on my face. My vision blurred and my nostrils burned. I coughed.They charged forward to catch me. I
Billionaire's Substitute Bride Chapter 46
Olive's POV~My eyes snapped open, a man's mouth was on mine.He pulled back and sent a shock to my brain! This man!I felt my stomach lurch but suddenly the heaviness in my chest squeezed. Water spurted out of my mouth.Coughing out the rest of the water, he made me roll on my left arm, and then I could breathe.Making me sit down, I looked at his blurry face.What?What was he doing here? I saw him once when I was burning with fever but this time he was real."Can you breathe?" he shouted.I nodded, and he hugged me.Pushing him back, I frowned, "Who are you?""I just saved you, should you not thank me?"I crept backward to make space between us."I know you! That night, it wasn't an illusion! You invaded my place and were about to *ssault me."This stranger was truly handsome and unfortunately, not an illusion which meant additional trouble."Where is your loving husband? Should he not have saved you?"He taunted me again."Thank you for saving me. But how come it is you? Did you t

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
