Billionaire's Substitute Bride Chapter 58
Olive~I replaced my sister in her marriage to save my father, believing that it would be easy to carry on for a while but it was the third time I faced death.Perhaps my father was right, and I should have left him behind to start a new life. But if I did, soon the news of losing him could make me fall on my knees."Pull yourself back!"When I was startled and surrendered to my fate to be grilled right there, his arms wrapped around my waist."Olive! Can you hear me?"His swift maneuver rescued me from a bullet that broke the vase on the table and shattered it to pieces.He sheltered me with his body, taking cover behind a wall and taking out his gun.With every bullet he shot, my body flinched between his arms. Grabbing my ears, my heart almost hopped into my mouth."They are going to kill us!"I stammered.I couldn't get used to being attacked by guns. The gift he just offered me was burning and exploded.It reminded me of the first time Elenore beat me harshly, tore my lips to ble

Olive~One of the bodyguards who came to cover us was pushed aside by the blast of the heat tide and crashed into the wall, losing consciousness."He is dead!""No! Calm down, young lady!" Simon noted, trying to shoot the invaders through the huge hole in the wall. But among the smoke and the heat of flames, it was tough to locate them."Shush!" A despondent look masked Ed's face. He acted like a d*ck sometimes but still when it came to his life being in danger, I couldn't bear to lose him which showed he had already contained my heart.His face sweated and his bangs hit my face.Flames lashed his back but he kept me secured.I felt the heat burning my cheek.My heart couldn't take it anymore, his eyes were showing how much pain he endured. He was handling the burnt incoming projectiles to protect me.Simon shot the person who was shooting rockets and then rushed to us.I was freezing when I saw Ed's gruesome bleeding back. It was a mess of flesh and blood yet he held onto me tightly,

Olive~I inhaled and exhaled the terror, but it wouldn't go away."Don't worry, sister-in-law! He is a hard nut to crack!"I shook my head and gazed at my red hands. Staying in the white corridor waiting for the doctor made me recall the days of my internship. Patients' families were distressed and overreacted most of the time, and I used to tell myself it couldn't solve anything.Now that I see and experience it, my heart pounds heavily. Even as someone familiar with horrible injuries, I couldn't come across adapting to it.The sound of the explosion still resonated in my head like it was deadly subliminal."You better wash your hands."Dane suggested while he turned around to face the end of the corridor where Kit and Tobin were rushing with their men."Guard here, no one is allowed to p*ss."Kit ordered them.Tobin pointed to the nurse next to him."Help her to get changed."He came closer and handed me a package."Please leave here when you get changed."I shook my head and refuse

Olive~"I hate to stay here the whole day!"Edward growled when I was applying ointment on his back."Hmm, it is boring! Now, you understand!"I scoffed and chuckled, and he averted his head to see me."Are you snapping at me?""No, I'm being honest with you."He let out a bitter smile, "You saw I have too many irons in the fire! I just took you to one of my private territories and John blew it up. How could I convince myself to let you go out alone after being kidnapped and almost died?"I shrugged."I can't hide for the rest of my life. I'm already a coward but I love to attend the last day of my courses. Tomorrow is the last one before the holidays and then I can only use the library.”I finished bandaging his back, and he turned around."Did you just ask me to let you go to school?"I nodded. I had taken enough time to look after him and delightfully, his improvement was faster than what I thought so now it was time to move on to my own business."Alright, Huxley would come with y

Olive~Elenore and her mother even paid the media not to reveal any picture of me walking with Edward on that birthday night. They were excellent at squeezing their secrets in a chest and bringing them out whenever they had got to.They kept my face a mystery. However, Ed’s plan was also not to reveal this scheme right now to anger his grandfather, so no picture of me by his side came to be exhibited in the media.But all the photographers and reporters believed that I was Elenore Levine, and she was Olive, the hidden daughter.Elenore could no longer keep my identity and stain it more than this because I was tempted to take it back.Her mother didn't even bother to join Mr. Johnson's birthday as she was ashamed to have a cripple son-in-law.I wanted to see these pained faces when Edward decided to expose the truth. And I didn't care what people would think about me.I didn't stay there and went to the kitchen to shove that tension down with a gl*ss of water.My fingers were as cold a

Elenore~My heart raced when Edward gave me a chance to prove myself. I couldn't miss the opportunity as it might never happen again.The *ssistant gave me a USB drive and a brief explanation, and I headed out. Olive could no longer stay in that house. Edward was my husband and wouldn't resist my charm. Therefore, I’d make sure he’d give up on that little whore. The hope he held toward her was all futile.I turned into a corridor and my breath hitched when John came out of a room.I didn't expect to bump into him today. The men around him left.He wore a devilish smirk and scanned my look."Being courteous to a cripple? Are you fu*king serious?"He laughed while scoffing at me.His face got serious as he approached and my back hit a door.His fingers grab hold of my chin, making me look up, "He doesn't like you! He might even kill you."A sharp cold skittered down my spine. I couldn't say that I wasn't scared. I was! I was so d*mn scared but not many men were that resistant toward an

Edward~In the evening, Kit and I were ready to take our leave and hold a meeting with the rest of our brothers. My absence from the company had given John and our rivals a nice chance to get back a place in their minds.Kit still believed that we must beat him till he could bleed and drive bedridden for a long time. But this heck couldn't work. Grandma was supporting him and would make sure to investigate the case with the best detectives to find out I was behind the plan. The plan could reverse against us.I couldn't risk everything."Put that sh*t down on the table and let's go. I'm truly exhausted.""You hate paperwork!""Such a headache. I hate this job, I praise you for handling so much sh*t."As he growled, Raymond rushed inside. All the employees were already gone and we were about to leave."Sir! Miss. Levine is here. She brought you what you need."Kit and I exchanged a glance. I was a little surprised about how fast she could attain the clue I wanted."Bring her,"I ordered

Edward~I was sitting in my office when Raymond knocked on the door and hurried inside.It was 9:00 a.m. I expected the news to leak out over the media and make a huge sound."Boss, we got it. All the sites shared the news of disrepute."Last night, I asked Dane to go for the first news and expose John and Elenore's intimacy. I didn't trust her to sign the divorce file. Their forbidden relationship after marriage was a huge blow.He handed me his iPad and I checked the trending topics. They got many views and shares.I promised not to hurt her but I never said I would forgive her."People expressed sympathy and empathy for you."Yeah, as a disabled man, my wife had been cheating on me and having affairs with my brother. Why should they not show pity?"Did he come to work today?"“Before I came here, I checked the management floor, and everyone was saying he left promptly.”I laughed cheerfully. I couldn't hide my enthusiasm."He might have gone to hold a press conference then go to th

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

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
