CEO's Substitute Wife Chapter 16. Nadia Valencia
On the outskirts of the Zhufun estate, Nadia Valencia sighs at her luck while Gabriel tries to comfort her. They have been living on this small farm in the middle of the forest for two weeks now, and she feels annoyed and bored, but above all, angry due to their precarious life. For her, this place is horrendous, dirty, without any comforts, and the cold goes straight to her bones. The mosquitoes won't let her sleep at night, not to mention that they haven't had a decent meal since they came here."You said we would only be here for a few days," she confronts him. "I can't stand this place anymore, Gabriel. It's not what you promised me. I don't deserve this. Just look at my hair, my nails, my legs are covered in mosquito bites. We haven't eaten anything besides chicken for all these days. The water is not drinkable and it gives me stomach discomfort, and on top of that, I can't even take a proper bath to relax.""You know our situation, Nadia. You know that your father's men are hot

"Be careful, woman!" Gage growls as Nadia collides with his car in her haste to cross the street. He looks at her disdainfully and menacingly. The young woman lowers her gaze and hides her face with her hood to avoid being recognized by him, although it's almost impossible due to her attire, but it's better to be sure. Gage gazes at the woman in front of him, and she seems familiar. He's sure he's seen her somewhere else before, but it's impossible. She looks ragged and dirty. Her hair is disheveled and also dirty. There's no way he could have seen her in these parts. "Excuse me, sir," she mutters, feigning a raspy voice. Gage grunts in response and starts his car, driving away. A few meters down the road, he stops and turns again, but she has already disappeared into the crowd on the main street. "What's going on?" A man in a wide-brimmed hat and peasant's clothing asks discreetly, approaching his window. "You're acting like you've seen a ghost." "That woman..." Gage says but do

At the inn, Egil Arrabal impatiently awaits Gage's arrival. With a bottle of whiskey in hand, he attempts to ease the excruciating pain in his shoulder; his wound continues to bleed despite all the medications prescribed by the doctor. He removes his coat, revealing a large bloodstain, which makes him exhale heavily. Slowly, he takes off his shirt, as well as the bandages covering that area, exposing the gunshot wound that is still raw. The blood he lost from the gunshot weakened him considerably.He takes a few sips of his drink to gather courage. He grabs his dagger, inherited from his great-grandfather, and places the tip in the fire, letting the metal heat until it turns a bright red before holding it over his wound for a few seconds. A piercing scream echoes throughout the room, putting Gage, who has just arrived, on high alert.The intense pain leaves Egil semi-conscious, lying on the floor. He prefers to believe in the old methods rather than the ones they use now. That doctor

The journey to the capital is very turbulent due to the rain, and on several occasions, Gage is forced to stop and check on the condition of his boss, who is lying in the back of the van. Perhaps the doctor was right, and the bullet was indeed poisoned. That would explain Egil's deteriorating health in such a short time. The good news is that at least he's no longer bleeding, which is a significant improvement."Take me to the hacienda," Egil requests during one of these stops. "I'm feeling better now. I don't want to go to the clinic.""But you need specialized care, sir," Gage tries to reason with him. "At the clinic, they'll be able to attend to your wound more appropriately. If you need another antidote, they can administer it there.""Do as I say, Gage!" Despite his condition, Egil looks at him authoritatively. His assistant has no choice but to comply. "I want to go to the hacienda now."Meanwhile, after passing through the densest forest between the borders of Zhufun and Vinoxy

Today is the second day that Adelaide has been in this horrible and dark room, bound hand and foot, with her wrist already wounded due to the friction of the rope and with a cold that she can barely endure.Her entire body is bruised, and her ankle, where that man hit her, is swollen and purple, with a throbbing pain that goes all the way to the bone."Please," she says so softly that the man watching her from a certain distance can't hear her. She's tired, hungry, and thirsty. Her strength waned long ago due to the beatings and forced fasting.Her mind is a senseless mess. Her blurry gaze no longer allows her to clearly understand what is happening around her, her only desire is to free herself from this harsh punishment she is undergoing, even though she is innocent."Today is the second day," murmurs a woman who is next to that repulsive man. "Mr. Egil's secretary ordered that she be in this place for only three days. You need to be tougher on her, or we won't have achieved our goa

"That won't happen. I have faithfully served the Arrabal family since I was thirteen, unlike you, who are just a substitute for your sister, the traitor, the one who ran away with her lover.""I will tell Egil about the scar she has on her lower back; that way, he'll believe me."Fabio opens his eyes, impressed. Adelaide saw it when he was in an intimate moment with the servant. Both thought she had passed out due to hunger, but she hadn't. Now he has no way to refute it in case Mr. Egil decides to check if what she says is true."When he asks to see it, he'll realize I'm right, and he'll condemn you. I'll detail every atrocity you did to me, and I'll also tell him about the woman you were with recently. I won't stay silent; I'll make everyone fall with me."Fabio backs away despite her protests. This woman is a tough nut to crack, and he has no choice but to give in, unless she thinks she has the final word, she's sorely mistaken.He approaches the table and takes the vial of poison

"They sent me here for help, ma'am. I come from the estate, my child, Adelaide Valencia, the third daughter of Mr. Bahram Valencia and the late Mrs. Amaranta, recently married to Mr. Egil, is being secretly tortured. The master, who is currently traveling, is unaware of it. I fear for her life, Mrs. Irene.""Who told you that I could help young Valencia?"Of course, Irene already knew about her nephew's wedding and the flight of the original bride, and that Adelaide had replaced her sister in the engagement. The gossip had reached her ears from the household staff."The nameless prisoner sent me to find you," Irene brings her hand to her mouth when she hears him mentioned. So, he's still alive. "She really needs your help; we are alone in these lands, with no one to advocate for us."Irene remains silent for a while, pacing the room slowly, as if considering all the possibilities. It's been many years since she set foot in that house, and doing so now for Amaranta's daughter is a good

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.

"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.

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

"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
