CEO's Substitute Wife Chapter 36. I'm sorry, sir
At the Arrabal estate, Egil decides to visit Adelaide in her room after two days without doing so. His aunt's words are still vivid in his mind, confusing him. Although it's in his nature to be cruel to people he hates or defies him, there are actions he simply can't bring himself to do to her, and that's the real reason she's still alive; otherwise, she would already be six feet under.The path that used to take him several minutes to walk to her room is now easier. Slowly, his body is recovering the strength he lost due to the wound, and in the next few days, he will likely be fully recovered to resume his duties without having to hide in his own room.He looks out the window and makes sure there is no one in his wife's room before entering. He learned from his aunt this morning that Adelaide no longer has a fever and is finally responding favorably to the medications the doctor is administering.It's well past midnight, and the young woman is sound asleep, as she is every time he e

Gage returns from Zhufun after nearly five full days.That same afternoon, he decides to present himself before Egil and inform him of all the details of his mission. Although he sent messages every day informing his boss about what happened with Callen and the peasants, there are many other matters they need to discuss and come to an agreement on before he decides to take action.Egil is sitting at his desk, writing and reading some documents when Gage enters and greets him."Mr. Egil, the news I bring is not encouraging," he says immediately. "Callen spoke of a conspiracy organized by several families seeking to overthrow the Arrabal family.""What are the names he mentioned?""He only mentioned Fid, but he repeatedly said that the organization's main informant is embedded within the estate. That's the real reason they know about all your movements, both inside and outside of here, sir."Egil gets up and walks to the window. The night is somewhat unsettled today, much like his outlo

Egil wakes up early, opens the main door of his room, and the guards stationed there are surprised to see him. No one knew he had returned from Zhufun and was inside his room. They all straighten up as he exits, impeccably dressed in a petrol blue suit, and heads straight to his office.He takes his car that drives him there. Two of his men follow closely in another car, and two more are in front.He arrives at the building, and as the guards open the door to the boardroom, four of the guards enter with him to take strategic positions. The employees all stand up, surprised by his sudden arrival, especially Vítor.Everyone greets him as he approaches his place at the board table."We didn't know you had arrived, Mr. Arrabal," Vítor speaks first, embarrassed but also annoyed with his informants who didn't notify him of anything. "It's a big surprise to see you at the office this morning.""I arrived last night," Egil replies tersely, taking his seat. "Let's begin with the agenda since I

"It was a very unfortunate incident, Egil. But thank God, everything has been resolved now," Lilith finally answers under her cousin's intense gaze."I put you in charge of my house because I trust your capability, Lilith. I need you to tell me exactly how it happened that day," Egil sets aside his documents and focuses entirely on her. "I want you to give me all the details.""Young Valencia and Petra were together in the garden taking a stroll that morning. Suddenly, she pushed her, and Petra injured her hand from the fall, cousin.""Were you present at the time of the incident?""I was nearby. I arrived a moment later, alerted by Petra's friends' cries for help. However, the other women who were with them testified against Valencia and claimed she acted with premeditation.""How did you resolve the dispute, Lilith? What measures did you take regarding it?""I confined the young lady to her room again, Egil, as you had ordered after the wedding," Egil watches his cousin closely. Her

Egil, with a little wine in his glass, seated in an armchair, sees Ana, beautiful, dressed in red, enter the room, how it excites him. He signals her to approach with a nod, and she does so timidly.In the hallway, Lilith looks around before entering the room that used to belong to Egil's mother, where she opens a small secret panel in the closet that leads to a smaller room from where she can see, through a fake mirror, everything that happens in her cousin's room.This is not the first time she has done this, and surely won't be the last.She discovered this place years ago, when she was searching for some things, and stumbled upon this spot, which became her favorite place to spy on Egil's nights.She watches as Ana obediently walks up to Egil. She can't hear very well what he says to her, but he stands up and they start passionately kissing until the young woman, after a few minutes, drops her dress to the floor, standing completely naked in front of Egil.He slowly circles around

"Miss, please, you need to calm down," Petrona says, trying to reason with Petra. "It's not good for them to see you losing your composure."Petra lies down on the bed, thinking about what happened, a lump in her throat."Please, Miss. You must calm down," her servant repeats."How?! Egil barred me from his office. He called that woman for dinner. How am I supposed to calm down? This is all very wrong, Petrona. Very wrong.""I'll bring you some mint tea."Petrona leaves, leaving her alone. Petra can't calm herself; this has never happened to her before.By late afternoon, unable to bear the uncertainty any longer, she decides to go to Egil's room, and this time he agrees to see her."Egil, welcome," Petra approaches the desk where he is writing and immediately leans down to give a kiss on the corner of his lips. Egil looks at her indifferently."I was told you went to look for me in the office," he responds, continuing to write. "What's going on, Petra? What's so urgent that it can't

The young Adelaide, tired of lying down for so long, asks Mercedes to help her get up.Taking short steps, because her ankle still hurts, her nanny takes her to the armchair and with the help of a small table, she places a bowl full of fruit pieces on her forehead."I can do it myself, Mercedes," Adelaide says, taking the fork from the old woman's hands. "You don't need to feed me. I will do it myself.""But you're still weak, my child. You don't need to exert yourself. I'm here to help you.""I know that, but you've already done so much for me. Now I feel better and can feed myself. Besides, I would like to feel more useful.""Alright, then I will prepare a hot bath with rose milk for you, my child. That will help with your wounds and relax your muscles."While Mercedes goes to prepare the bath, Adelaide thinks about everything that has happened in just a few days.Since the night her husband visited her, he hasn't come back and she wonders what might have happened.Mrs. Irene said t

Lilith comes running upon hearing the commotion and orders for Petra to be taken and locked in her room, while one of the maids helps Ana get out of the tub to wait for the doctor to attend to her.Egil's cousins also come alerted by the commotion that is forming and find Ana with wounds on her face and a large blood stain coming from the back of her head down her back.Lilith orders everyone to go to their rooms and urgently calls for the doctor to attend to the young woman."How is Miss Ana doing?" Lilith, concerned, asks the doctor who has already done the necessary care and requested for her to be taken to the clinic for observation."The wound on her head is large, ma'am, but I have already stitched it up. It will take several days to heal. She has a broken nose and a split lower lip. I recommend absolute rest for her during this week, so it's better for her to do it at the clinic."Lilith nods and hurries to Egil's office, where he is currently. She must inform him about what ha

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
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
