Billionaire's Substitute Bride Chapter 9 Uproar!
Edward's Pov~Kit was always my dearest. He kept being by my side on tough days. Whenever I fell on my knees he was the one who persuaded me not to give up. And I trusted his instincts.I was about to say he should not worry about my affairs and sentiments when an uproar began to grow outside.Jumping on our feet, we gazed at Kit. He would never let our foes have the courage to stick around us. Our fame, our name was bigger than their dreams.Kit kicked the door open and thundered outside.I remember days when he used to fight in the streets. He had mastered his martial arts at a young age. And the one who first choked the dangers before they could arise and reach our throats.Among all of us, he was the one who couldn't bear sudden insolence. His history of the criminal world had made him cautious.It needed guts to break into our territory like this. Neither of us could endure trouble which could lead our name to media.We stood at the door frame to let him handle the situation. He
Billionaire's Substitute Bride Chapter 10 Not a good person!
Olive’s POV~I was standing on the verge of life where my mind was blank. It could be an abyss within me, a thin thread that scarcely had kept me in this life. Every single misstep could tear it up to break me down.The wind pulled my hair, and I closed my eyes, opening my arms wide.I thought this marriage could save me from those pompous pricks I used to live with, but it pushed me into the arms of another devil. Edward would kill me soon or later after he disclosed the truth.“This can be the end. Who cares!”Just when I felt rubble slip under my feet, I fell on my back.Not a brave person would attempt to take her life. I should be stupid. It required courage to live this tough life. It was as if a quest to defeat others and earn your reward.I used to look at life like that before, but recently, I was frustrated and repeatedly asked myself what if nothing could change?And these words broke my thoughts when my body hit the hard stone.“No matter how hard it is now, you are smarte
Billionaire's Substitute Bride Chapter 11 Undress me!
The butler sat next to me. His face darkened and sorrow shadowed his expression.“Edward was a joyful, happy boy like every other boy his age. But that bonfire destroyed everything. Did you know he lost his mother on his birthday night? Everyone celebrates that night, but he can’t. His disfigurement, his mother’s screams in that fire, all of it still have side effects.”“I’m sorry. But should I bear his bad tempers because of his pain?”I felt pity for him, truly, I did.“However, I observed changes within a few days. He acts differently with you.” The man continued.“I don’t think so! He doesn’t like me.”“He does, and you can change him. He doesn’t know how to behave toward a woman. Perhaps you can teach him.”This man was a very benevolent liar!I wasn’t even able to save myself. How could I save another to change his life?“I sincerely thank you for being concerned about me.”It was all I mentioned, revealing the other side of the fact could lead this peaceful conversation to a sp
Billionaire's Substitute Bride Chapter 12 Wash my body!
Olive’s POV~My fingers numbed and trembled behind me when we entered the bathroom.Standing still, he waited for me to undress him. My heartbeat raced in my chest. I swallowed and tried to keep my eyes away not to face him.It wasn’t the first time he would expose his body to me, but I couldn’t get rid of the next step he might take.Unbuttoning his shirt, I could feel his eyes on me. The surrounding air was intensely heavy, to me it was mingled with terror, but I was wondering how he felt when I was around him.Irritation? Then why was he resisting it?I could sense not the slightest tenderness.“Your cold hands are shaking!”He mentioned when I struggled to unbutton his shirt.“Sorry!”I speeded my moves and when my eyes caught his masculine body, my cheeks heated and burned.Despite his disability, he kept his body healthy and, as a nursing student, I must praise it.We all respect those who never give up on themselves after being harmed. For a moment, I was ashamed of what I did
Billionaire's Substitute Bride Chapter 13
Olive’s POV~Stretching my body onto the bed, I rolled over. Edward’s penetrating gaze was still displaying across my sight. It sent daggers down my spine to recall it.But a new day has begun.His anger used to bubble up swiftly and below upon me.Sitting straight, I looked at the window side. It was almost noon and for no reason, my body ached. I slept too much.My soles kissed the cold floor, and I sneezed. It was explaining why my body ached this much. Yesterday, I didn’t wear warm clothes and wandered on the beach for so long.Sneezing several times. Eventually, I got to my feet. A slight dizzy made me hesitate to take steps ahead.“The heater must be off!”The floor was cold and stung my soles.“Let’s believe that I didn’t catch a cold.”A knock on the door distracted me when I drew the curtains.“Who is there?”“Young Lady, you must go to the dining room.”Dining room! He wouldn’t want to eat with me then what was the matter?“I’ll be there soon.”I walked to the dresser and sl
Billionaire's Substitute Bride Chapter 14
Olive’s POV~Foreseeing what kind of punishment or behavior this time he would come upon me was tough.I crossed the corridor and reached the study. Before knocking on the door, I took a deep breath, readying myself to explain to him why I asked him not to eat lobsters.He might have lost his appetite for my insistence.After pushing down my terror apprehensively, I knocked on the door.“Come in!”On the first day, they tasked me to clean everywhere but the study. I wondered how he allowed me to enter this time.My eyes wandered around and took in the surroundings! His study was huge, with a cl*ssic warm decoration. I couldn’t have imagined he would love to study.Many thoughts and questions swarmed in my mind.Edward was sitting on a swivel couch near a bookshelf, holding a book with a thick spine in his hands, and when he noticed me, closed the book and placed it back on the shelf.I stopped right behind him.“Am I here for punishment? Listen, what I said was absolutely...”My voice
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

Billionaire's Substitute Bride Chapter 105 The End
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
Billionaire's Substitute Bride Chapter 104
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
Billionaire's Substitute Bride Chapter 102
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
