CEO's Substitute Wife Chapter 133. A man should not cry
"They are alive, Mr. Benedict!" The shouts of one of the guards break the painful silence of what was once a ballroom, but now only remains a battlefield. "Mr. Egil and Mrs. Adelaide are still alive!"Benedict immediately gets up and, despite the pain from his bleeding wounds, walks step by step to the position indicated by the man.He checks their vital signs, first of his brother, then of Adelaide."Get some men to help us transport them to the hospital," Benedict orders the man, also injured but not seriously, who quickly goes in search of help.Benedict moves Egil's body away from Adelaide and places it upright, waiting for someone who can help with his wounds. As long as he is alive, there is hope, and he will fight for it.He then takes Adelaide's body and brings her into his lap. Despite feeling weak, he holds her tightly against his chest and kisses her forehead several times.A soft sob escapes from his chest as he caresses her pale face with his fingers. She is badly injured

Although the security personnel managed to subdue the attackers, there are too many dead and destruction in their wake.Nora is seated in a chair when Samuel arrives. She looks at him as if she had been expecting him, and she already has several bags with jars prepared and ready on the table to attend to the wounded."Is Mr. Benedict alive?" The woman's question leaves Samuel puzzled for a few seconds, but he is not surprised, as he has seen them speak on several occasions and it is clear that they get along well."He is in the hospital with Mrs. Adelaide and the boss. Both of them are badly injured. Mr. Benedict also received several graze wounds, but he will survive."Nora nods more calmly. Together, they tour the estate to analyze the situation.

Cesar Alonso has always been a brave, intelligent, and strong young man. He likes everything related to business administration and spends most of his time with his brother, learning while finishing high school. However, Maximiliano is a more bohemian and introverted young man. He spends most of his time reading and writing, and field work is not exactly his favorite activity. He prefers a good book over thinking about clan wars.The meeting continues for a few hours until Martín asks Fidel Alonso to speak to him alone. The others present leave."What's the matter, Martín? What is it so important that you need to tell me privately?""How is your sister, cousin?" the man asks, diverting Fidel's question."I see you prefer to keep the suspense," he says with a sideways smile. "But answering that, I tell you that Petra is in her final moments. The doctors told me this morning that it is most likely that she won't survive this week. I asked for all treatment to be suspended at once. There

A soft and continuous sob escapes Benedict upon hearing that. A wrinkled hand rests on his shoulder to contain him."Cry as much as you want, Benedict. It's normal to feel pain for the loss of our loved ones. Just don't forget that there is someone, blood of your blood, who needs you. Don't let yourself be defeated now.""I want to see him."Nora signals to two of the guards stationed there and they help him to stand up. They walk step by step until they reach a large hall where some servants are preparing the place where his brother will be laid out.Samuel is standing firm in front of the door where Egil's lifeless body is in a coffin, watching every movement of the young women.Egil's face is peaceful, so peaceful that it hurts.Benedict's pain upon seeing his brother's corpse is impossible to hide.The young women in charge of preparing the place step aside when he raises a hand asking everyone to leave the room."Remember that you need to rest, Benedict," Nora says by his side.

"Why are you asking that?" Benedict looks at her, confused. "You are still the lady of this house. I just want to protect you, protect the children, it's what Egil would have wanted. I don't think this discussion between us is necessary right now.""It is a necessary discussion, Benedict. My husband was killed and many others. They destroyed everything, if that's not reason enough for you and me to talk, I don't know what to say.""Adelaide...""My nanny is dead. They killed her in cold blood," Adelaide begins to sob. "They killed many people. They will come for me and my children if they know we survived. They are innocent.""That won't happen, my love, I promise you," Benedict runs his fingers through his long hair. "You're completely right to be anxious and upset, but we must remain calm, carefully consider every step we take from now on. We must be together in this, fighting for nothing doesn't help us.""I'm scared...""As long as you're here with me, nothing will happen to you.

Standing on the balcony, Adelaide looks at the mausoleum and sighs. Since Benedict asked her to marry him this morning, she hasn't stopped thinking about Egil. Although she hasn't given him a positive answer yet, she knows she can't avoid it forever.Without a second thought, she takes the passages that lead her to the rose garden and from there to Egil's tomb.With a flashlight in her hand and bare feet to make no noise, she walks steadily to the main entrance, but just before opening the door, a sharp pain spreads under her feet, making her sit on the ground.With the flashlight's light, she can see a small piece of glass embedded in the palm of her foot, from which her blood continues to flow. Just before pulling out the glass, a big hand stops her, picks her up, and carries her inside the mausoleum.Adelaide doesn't even have time to react; she covers her mouth herself to prevent a scream of pain from escaping and Benedict from realizing that she has gone out at this hour of the

It's already quite late when Adelaide decides to go talk to Benedict. She has an answer for him and doesn't want to wait any longer to tell him. Despite it being an exhausting day, she walks confidently down the hallway towards the room he is currently occupying. She knows he is already home because one of the servants told her he returned from the office a few hours ago. She is surprised to find no guards at his door, but as she finds it slightly ajar, she gently pushes it open and enters. She hears his voice coming from the balcony, but it's only whispers and she can't comprehend the conversation. She walks softly towards them, but she is greatly shocked to see Nora conversing with Benedict."Stop denying what rightfully belongs to you, son," Nora says. Adelaide is taken aback by such an assertion. She takes a step back and presses her back against the wall so they don't see her. "We fought so much for this, so that you can finally have what is rightfully yours. And there is still

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

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.

"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.

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.

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

It was a devastating surprise attack, they had planned for months to come here so that everything would go perfectly.

"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.
