CEO's Substitute Wife Chapter 125. What is your idea?
"I don't think I should say too much, you know me better than I know myself," Egil says to Benedict as he drinks from his glass, never taking his eyes off him. "I have no intention of disputing with you over my wife or discussing what you two did. I'm not going to ask you to stay away from her because I know you won't, unless I kill you, but I do want you to be aware of your place and mine. I don't want this to in any way affect the clan, or our reputation, or my daughter's, who is the future heiress of all this."Benedict also drinks from his glass of wine."I know perfectly well what my place and limitations are," Egil notices the bitterness in his brother's words. "I wouldn't do anything to harm Adelaide, unlike what you've been doing since she came to this estate.""I didn't call you here for you to blame me for anything, Benedict. Besides, I love Adelaide," Egil responds, pouring himself more wine. "But I have never been and never will be the man she desires, or the man she truly

Two years later...A woman with long, auburn hair walks quickly through the halls of the estate towards the master bedroom. Her perfume and beauty envelop everyone in her path.Her daughter, a little girl just as beautiful, barely over three years old, walks behind her with her nanny who can no longer keep up with her like when she was a baby. Eleonor has become a vigorous and strong-willed child.All the guards glance at Adelaide as she passes by. Most of them joined the guard just to be close to the most beautiful woman of the Arrabal clan. Many have even claimed that she is a magical being due to her striking beauty. Her long, wavy, auburn hair reaches her waist, her eyes are grey though sometimes they turn bluish depending on her mood, and her skin is extremely fair and smooth.Her character, in recent times, contrasts greatly with her exquisite beauty. She has become tough and less manipulable, and it is no secret that the management of the businesses is guided more by her decisi

In the early morning, Egil's door resounds loudly. He gets up, dazed by the persistence. He takes a deep breath to calm himself. He had barely been able to fall asleep a few minutes ago and now he's awake again. "Come in," he says, struggling to put on his robe. Ester opens the door, nervous."Mrs. Adelaide is already in labor, sir.""What? How long has she been like this?""She's been in a lot of pain since last night. Her aunt's doctor is examining her right now and getting her ready to leave.""And why didn't you tell me before?!" grumbles Egil, annoyed as he changes his robe for a jacket and puts on shoes. "I made it clear last time that you should tell me everything about her and my child, no matter the hour.""I'm sorry, sir. I found out just now when the maid, Mercedes, came to tell me. Mrs. Adelaide asked that no one bother you unless her condition worsens and she needs to go to the clinic, that's why I'm here. Besides, after what happened this afternoon, she...""Is there n

Peace has been reigning among the clans for exactly one year, when all the other landowners gathered and requested a truce from Egil. A truce that was granted at Adelaide's request.Although free trade was reopened between them, Egil decided to take precautions as he had planned from the beginning and at his wife's request. He also does not fully trust this supposed peace after living in enmity for so long.This is a peculiar morning, there is a lot of movement in the hacienda since early on, just like in the office. The partners and members of the clan are already gathered in the boardroom, waiting for Egil to start the session."Is my brother already in the room?" Benedict asks the same young secretary who was with Egil in his room the other time. The young woman blushes instantly."Not yet, sir," she replies hesitantly.Benedict nods and walks to the large window of the building, from where the entire facade of the city can be seen. The secretaries in that area follow his every mov

The meeting ends a few hours later.

He is already at the meeting point. I received a message from him a few minutes ago," the secretary responds.Martín nods and they head towards Hacienda Arrabal where a man is waiting for them. It is not strange for him to go there. With the celebration of Gaspar Arrabal's birth, many people visit to spend time with the boss.A few minutes later, they arrive at the main house and, unnoticed by the others present, they walk to a hidden area where the contact is waiting. Martín stands beside the man and without speaking, takes two stacks of bills out of his pocket and places them in his hand. The man briefly examines them with his gaze and then nods."It must be done right away," Martín says before returning to the house.The man goes directly to the deep basement with a bag in his

Three days have passed since Petra escaped from the dungeon of the Arrabal estate with Martín's help; however, everyone believes she died in the fire, as human bones were found among the ashes and there was no one else at the scene but her. Although it still couldn't be determined how the fire started.She arrived in Zimbron that same day. The doctors of her brother Fidel Alonso have been taking care of her and he has been informed of the rare and serious illness his sister suffers from. He only saw her for a few minutes and couldn't bear the impression and disgust that her appearance caused him. He had to leave the room immediately to avoid vomiting.Petra's skin is completely rotten, with worms in some parts of her body. Her hair has completely disappeared and most of her teeth have fallen out. She is like a walking skeleton from a horror event.Her pains are so intense at times that she vomits coagulated and foul-smelling blood until she faints. Some say it is a miracle that she is

It's already night when Benedict finally manages to leave the building without being seen. He takes his truck and returns to the hacienda, making sure no one follows him.

His brother is a very impulsive man and that could work against him.He looks out the window towards the main house and his heart races. He must find a way to protect them, but how?Something tells him that Petra's sudden death has something to do with all of this. Determined to do something, he takes his gun and goes to the lounge where the guards are gathered.

CEO's Substitute Wife Chapter 161. I love you. Extra
Two weeks later, in Rome... "What does this mean, Benedict?! Is this why you wanted to come to Italy? Because of her? To look for her?" Pamela throws the folder on the table as she cries bitterly. She can no longer bear this situation, she is tired of fighting with the ghost of Adelaide and Gaspar. Benedict takes a napkin and wipes the coffee stains on his jacket caused by the folder hitting his cup, without the mood to respond to his wife's complaint. "I can't bear it anymore, you will never forget her. This obsession of yours with her has gone too far, I want to go home." Pamela walks over to the couch where she sits to alleviate the pain in her back. When she found the folder this morning among her husband's things, she couldn't believe what it said. "You can leave whenever you want," he says dryly but in a low tone. "No one forced you to come with me, or to get involved in things that are none of your business." "Does she matter to you more than me and your daughter?" Pamel
CEO's Substitute Wife Chapter 160. Honeymoon. Epilogue, part 2
Emma looks at her husband with fiery eyes as he carefully salivates that object. Then she positions herself with her back to him, bending down enough to offer him a unique, delicious, and incredibly sexy view of her behind.Her husband's breath triples as his mouth comes into contact with her body. He inhales deeply, shamelessly, savoring the distinct aroma of woman that drives him crazy. Without any further preamble and on the verge of collapse, he assaults her intimate part.Adriano's tongue is having a party tonight. It eagerly explores every nook and cranny, savoring it like the nectar of the gods."Love, like this," Emma moans desperately. "Please, keep going."Adriano continues his work, now more diligently, moving a bit higher and applying more pressure to the right spot to sufficiently lubricate that orifice from which he will later delight himself.Slowly, he directs the plug to where it should be, doing it gently and with just the right coercion so that in a couple of moveme

"My love," Emma calls Adriano's attention, barely peeking through the bathroom door as she walks slowly towards where he is."For all the angels!" Adriano whispers as he takes in every detail of her from head to toe. "Emma, my love...""Do you like it?" she asks, advancing in her high heels that resonate throughout the room, until she's just a step away from him.Adriano swallows hard a couple of times and still can't manage to untie his throat. Damn it! He knew nothing would be normal with her on their honeymoon, but this exceeds all his expectations. Emma is so beautiful she looks like a seductive angel.Immediately and without any preamble, he falls to his knees at her feet, placing his hands on her thighs and fixing his gaze on the smooth and kissable skin of that part of her body."I'm very excited, my husband," she says, running her fingers through Adriano's hair. He closes his eyes for a second and lets out a heavy sigh. "What are you going to do about it?""I will give you all

In Rome, five years later..."Is this for real?" Adriano sets his champagne glass aside and approaches Emma, who is leaning on the terrace railing, but looking at him."Of course. I've never been more sure about this," she responds with her usual smile that melts Adriano’s heart with love. He approaches her and takes her face in both hands before planting a soft kiss on her lips. He has patiently waited for this day for all these years.

CEO's Substitute Wife Chapter 156. Will you let me be the owner of your body?
"Isn't it the same thing you plan to do? Aren't you going to claim what you bought?" Pamela asks Benedict in a bitter tone while pointing at herself."Of course I will claim it," he responds dryly. "The difference is that I will be your husband. With me, you will have everything you never dreamed of having. I won't take you by force, but that doesn't guarantee that when you decide to be with me, I won't be hard with you, because that's how I like to fuck. You will be Mrs. Arrabal, the mother of my heirs, my wife."An overwhelming silence envelops them at that moment. Pamela doesn't even know how to respond to that.He extends his hand to her and Pamela takes a few seconds to take it. Benedict puts her on his lap, just like he had hundreds of times with Adelaide. In a way, Pamela reminds him of her, her innocence, her spontaneity, her simplicity.Benedict inhales the scent of her hair before kissing her forehead again. This is something Pamela has never experienced before, she doesn't
CEO's Substitute Wife Chapter 155. Yes, I want to go
Pamela is busy cooking inside the precarious hut she lives in with her aunt since her mother died 20 years ago.Since she arrived yesterday morning, her aunt has not stopped reproaching and calling her every possible name for escaping that night when she wanted to sell her to that disgusting man for a little money.Of course, she is used to her aunt's abuse after so many years living with her, but what she did that night crossed all the limits and she doesn't plan on letting it happen again.She still wears the bandage on her knee, and although the pain is almost nonexistent now, she fears her wounds will get infected.While stewing the meat for lunch, she takes a glass and pours a little water, but when she turns around, a dark and large figure sitting in the only armchair in the small living room startles her, causing the glass to fall from her hands to the floor."Hello, little one," Benedict's hoarse and firm voice shakes her from head to toe.How did he find her? Did he have her

This day was supposed to mark the justice he had waited for so long.

"Do you want to try?" Benedict's sudden question makes Pamela blush, imagining he's referring to her very visible attributes now in front of him."He's crazy! Who does he take me for?" She responds immediately, quite offended. "I don't even know him.""I don't see what the problem is; it's just whiskey," Benedict replies, pointing to the glass but at the same time smiling in a way that disturbs Pamela. "What did you think?""Nothing," she responds, realizing she misspoke."Alright, are you leaving or not?" he asks as he searches for something in his drawers. "It's late, and I need to sleep.""So, you don't mind me going alone at this time of night?" she questions as if that's a problem for him."No," Benedict responds as he puts on his boxers. Pamela looks at him indignantly. "But if you want to stay, I can...""Fine," she interrupts him. "I'll stay right here on the couch, still, I won't bother at all."Pamela settles there with every intention of staying to sleep.Benedict, tired of
