CEO's Substitute Wife Chapter 139. They will never be completely safe
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

POV BenedictI find myself in front of the mirror, looking at my reflection for several minutes, while thousands of memories pass through my mind. Honestly, I don't recognize myself. And I'm not referring to the elegant suit I'm wearing for my wedding with Adelaide, which will take place in an hour, but to the person I have become from some time to this point. When I came to the Arrabal estate, I was very clear about what I wanted, and it wasn't power or money, I just wanted that bond between Egil and me that I never had with my father, and the same bond that was broken with my mother when she made her intentions clear to me. I know she suffered a lot when my father married that woman and she was left alone and pregnant. She had to flee from her own family to avoid being killed, change her identity, endure hardships, and manage on her own when I was born, but her desire to reclaim her place in the clan scared me, that's why distancing myself was my best option. Over time, I reali

POV BenedictOnce in the chapel, Aunt Irene welcomes me, gives me a kiss and a hug before we walk together to the altar to wait for Adelaide.Most of the attendees are survivors of the clan, as well as some partners and a few employees from the estate.I feel strangely nervous, like I've never been before, my hands sweat and my breathing becomes almost agonizing.I look at everyone present and try to smile, but a wave of chills runs through me when a thunderous sound from outside shakes the whole chapel to the point that the windows explode in the air.All I hear are screams around me, everyone is running in fear. My mind tells me to move forward, but I can't, I'm paralyzed, trembling from head to toe, my ears buzzing and my mind thinking of nothing but Adelaide and the children.Aunt Irene's crying at my feet makes me react after a moment. I take large strides to the door and my heart stops when I see the scene. For heaven's sake, this can't be happening a second time.The house is c

Emma Carusso slowly walks through her room as tears run down her cheek. She can still smell Egil's scent in this place, despite the time that has passed since his death and the last time he was here.The furniture, the bed, the curtains, everything seems to have been chosen with her in mind, especially the portraits of the two of them and Eleonor on the nightstand, which are the perfect reminder that every part of him is imprinted in this house even though he is gone.She runs her fingers slowly over a specific portrait of them embracing in the chapel after their second wedding ceremony. Despite the tragedy of that night, they looked happy and in love.She walks to the balcony and her heart tightens at the sight of the beautiful rose garden, perfectly visible from her position, identical to the one at the hacienda. He even took care of that for her.She has no doubt that Egil wanted her to be here, he planned everything so she could escape with their children and free herself from tha
Last Updated : 2023-11-23CEO's Substitute Wife Chapter 144. Seeks Revenge
Inside the grand hall of Zimbron's estate, Fidel Alonso remains motionless after receiving news of the attack on Arrabal's estate, where Adelaide Valencia and her children were killed, and Benedict sent him his intentions to end him and his entire family.In the background, Fidel's lawyers can be heard heatedly discussing the possibilities of Benedict Arrabal rising stronger after this and seeking revenge, as he warned. That possibility puts him in an even worse mood."That won't happen, right, brother?" Cesar snaps Fidel out of his daydream. "That bastard doesn't have the means to destroy us, does he? That's impossible. Uncle Martin said that family was destroyed, that they don't have the resources to sustain themselves, let alone wage a war."Fidel doesn't reply. Ever since the other estates belonging to the Arrabal clan were destroyed, his problems have multiplied fourfold. He only receives complaints all day long from buyers. Trade has been affected one hundred percent after the a
Last Updated : 2023-11-23CEO's Substitute Wife Chapter 145. Face to Face with Him
Benedict is in the room, sitting in the armchair, looking at a portrait of Adelaide and Gaspar. The dim light and the warmth of the fireplace create a serene and cozy atmosphere in the room, but in Benedict's heart there is nothing but sorrow, hatred, and a strong desire to end the world. He puts his hand to his face and tries to dispel those thoughts that have been haunting him since that day everything happened. Sleeping is something he can't do without dreaming about her and their child. He still can't believe what happened.At that moment, some knocks sound on the door. It's his aunt Irene."How are you feeling?" she asks, leaning in to give him a kiss on the cheek."The only way I can feel," he responds with a bitter tone in his voice. "Slowly dying.""Suffering is inevitable, but it depends on each individual how to cope with it," Irene says to comfort him. "You must reconsider how you want to face this, Benedict. Don't you think there have been enough losses already?""No, this

"I admire your bravery and audacity to come this far," Fidel walks to his chair and takes a seat. "I suppose now I'll have to kill everyone who helped you get to my room. Although I admit that sometimes desperation leads us to make desperate decisions. I imagine your only option in such a terrible crisis is to come and ask for mercy."Benedict smiles slightly at Fidel's words. He is not surprised by his arrogance; he has heard things about this man his whole life, and none of them have been good. Especially considering that he rejected his own pregnant sister to stay in power. What can he expect from someone of that reputation?"I'm sorry to disappoint your expectations, Alonso," Benedict stands just two steps away from him to face him directly. "But I'm not here to ask for mercy or beg for your help. I don't need you or your fortune.""Are you giving up and planning to run away?" the man mocks. He tries to laugh, but it only comes out as a dry cough, a demonstration of his nervousnes

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.

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
CEO's Substitute Wife Chapter 154. Revenge has come to an end
A thick smoke hangs in the horizon, darkening the sky and casting shadows over the Turnnie mansion. It was a devastating surprise attack, they had planned for months to come here so that everything would go perfectly. Chaos reigns as flames devour the house and crops, and the screams of the servants fill the air.In the center of the chaos, Benedict calmly looks at the destruction. This day was supposed to mark the justice he had waited for so long. Adelaide's brother, Calixto, and his father, Bahram Valencia, were finally supposed to receive the punishment they deserved for the attack on the Arrabal clan, which had claimed the lives of many people, including his brother Egil, and for all the times they had plotted to kill her. However, both of them are missing."I'm sorry, sir, but we can't find them anywhere," one of his men informs him.

"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
