CEO's Substitute Wife Chapter 27. Egil Visits Adelaide
Petrona walks along a long path through the fields until she reaches the outskirts of the hacienda, takes a bus, and arrives at the house of the man who had provided her with the poison. The neighborhood where the man lives has a very bad reputation; the most dangerous people live here, according to what the neighbors themselves have said. She gets off the bus and hurries along a street, with a man following her, not too closely, but not losing sight of her entirely. Petrona feels something strange, as if she's being watched by someone. She slows her pace and remains attentive for a few seconds, not daring to look back because there's a high probability that someone is following her.Now, she's at a crossroads. She doesn't think it's a good idea to go to that man right now because if she's caught, Petra will also be exposed, and this entire conspiracy will not yield the desired results. She begins to walk again, this time more slowly. The house of a female doctor is a few streets

Vítor is in a meeting since early morning. One of the guards who watches over Adelaide's door informed him in the early hours through a message that Mr. Egil's personal physician and his assistant were in her room without his authorization. He needs to address this matter as soon as he leaves the meeting. He is the secretary in charge of the estate in Mr. Egil's absence, and no one can act on their own, or it will be complete chaos.The meeting drags on, and by nearly noon, he walks heavily to his office and summons the doctor. He knows of the physician's experience and service to the Arrabal family for over twenty years, but that does not give him the right to disobey his clear and concise orders."Mr. Vítor," the doctor enters and greets him respectfully. He can imagine the reason for his summons, but Egil instructed him on what he should say. "How can I assist you?""I was informed of your nocturnal visit to young Adelaide, and I want to know the reason you disregarded my orders. I

"Adelaide spent three days in that place," Irene continues when she realizes that Egil isn't responding. "Why do you allow her to receive such degrading treatment in this house? She's your wife, Egil, Mrs. Arrabal, the most important woman in the family.""She's none of those things you mentioned, Aunt," Egil's response leaves Irene stunned. "I forbid you to interfere in my affairs with her and the treatment she receives by my orders. That woman is nobody here and will never be. She's just the substitute Bahram Valencia sent me to remedy Nadia's dishonor. She has no surname here, she's nobody, and any servant is worth more than her," Egil's voice sounds so cold and bitter that it manages to send shivers down his aunt's spine.Egil vents his frustrations from these days by ranting against Adelaide. While his anger and pain are real, many of his claims are not, but it's obvious that he will never back down, even though she truly matters to him."She's also a Valencia, she's your wife, n

"Good afternoon, sir," Gabriel greets, approaching the hotel manager's counter. The man nods as he fills out a form before handing it to a customer seated at the wooden bar. "I'd like to know if a woman came to see you. She's a young woman with long dark hair, gray eyes, and fair skin.""We have many women coming through here all the time," the man replies gruffly, not giving it much thought. "They all look the same, just walking cunts. I don't pay attention to the color of their eyes when I'm fucking them."The other man laughs at the innkeeper's rude comment. Gabriel finds it in very poor taste but doesn't argue. The last thing he wants is to pick a fight with him."She probably came here to send a message," he insists, inventing an excuse to get information out of him without realizing he's actually telling the truth. "She usually wears a blue coat. I want to know if there's any response.""A young woman matching that description did come here. It was about two days ago, but the le

At Arrabal hacienda, Petra, nervous about being so controlled by Gage's men, paces around the room, sighing and cursing. This wasn't supposed to happen, Gage was supposed to be away with Egil, resolving the issue with the peasants, and she would be free to fulfill everything that had been planned for a long time.Damn the moment Egil sent him back to the hacienda."Do you want me to prepare a bath for you to freshen up, miss?" Petrona asks, watching Petra restlessly fanning herself with her hands."What I need is to get out of here. This environment is suffocating me. If I stay here, I'll go crazy. Fresh air will help me think of a solution.""But you said you didn't want to go out so that everyone would think you're still ill, miss."I don't care about that anymore. I won't stay here for another second."Petrona hands her one of her coats and they leave together, heading to the garden. Some of the maids gathered in the main hall whisper as they see her passing by, but with a deadly l

Petra spends the whole day nervous and locked in her room again, her mood is terrible and she doesn't even feel like eating anything after reading that letter.She was very lucky that the envelope ended up in her hand, she doesn't even want to imagine what would have happened if it had fallen into Egil's hands. Most likely, he would have looked for her and that is something she absolutely refuses to allow after everything she did to keep him away from her. She already has enough to deal with the redhead, having to put up with the sister too would be too much. Having both of them at the estate stealing Egil's attention would be too much.There is no turning back now, Nadia's fate is sealed.Egil, still in pain, gets up and starts writing down some notes he has in mind while Gage is checking some things with the suppliers. He must be more alert than ever from now on and watch his workers more closely.He still doesn't understand how someone was able to poison Adelaide. Did they do it be

"This should be enough payment," Nadia breaks the tension in the room, revealing a necklace with precious gemstones that shines in the dim light of the spotlight. "It's much more valuable than the earrings I gave you last time. At least ten times more. It's a rare and expensive jewel.""Why did you kill him?" the man asks, completely ignoring what the woman said earlier. "What great sin did this unfortunate man commit to receive such a horrible death?""That's none of your concern, sir.""I believe it is," he stands up and walks towards her step by step, cornering her against the wall. "First of all, this is my stupid hotel. Secondly, it was you who came to me for help in disposing of the body. And lastly, you're in my hands now!"Nadia jumps when the man screams near her face, furious and spitting everywhere. She trembles against the wall as he goes back to where the body is and manipulates it again."The job will cost you more than that stupid necklace," he finally says after placin

In the morning, Gage's cell phone receives a call with news from Zhufun. He answers immediately after his tour of the central offices."Mr. Gage, we've captured one of the rebel leaders. We request your presence in Zhufun immediately for the interrogation," the man on the other end of the phone says.Gage feels some relief upon hearing this. It's a significant step toward restoring order on the estates."I'll leave for there in two hours," he responds before hanging up and heading to his boss's room.Egil grows impatient as the hours pass. Being confined to his own room is unappealing and suffocating, although, of course, no one except his trusted people knows about it.He walks to the window but refrains from drawing the curtain to avoid being seen. Today is a radiant day, but for some reason, he doesn't feel in harmony with the surroundings.His shoulder still aches, and he must keep it bandaged for several more days, according to the doctor, to prevent the wound from getting infect

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
CEO's Substitute Wife Chapter 159. Honeymoon. Epilogue, Part 1
"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. Many times he wanted to give up, to distance himself, to try to forget her, but realizing that he couldn't live without her, he would try again.

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. "Everything indicates that they are not in the mansion.""Did you search inside the basements?"Benedict knows that Bahram has been living here wit
CEO's Substitute Wife Chapter 153. Everything is Ready
"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
