CEO's Substitute Wife Chapter 7. I am Petra
Adelaide spends the entire day in her room lamenting. Her eyes are so swollen that it's difficult for her to open them completely. Mercedes came many times to ask from the doorway if she needed anything, but she simply told her to leave her alone. She didn't eat or drink anything all day.She lazily gets up and looks around. The night has already fallen, and the cold draft coming in through her window sends shivers down her spine.Despite how tired she feels, she manages to get out of the pompous wedding dress that's starting to itch her. She goes straight to the bathroom to wash her face with cold water.In the mirror, she sees the enormous dark circles under her eyes, and her disheveled hairstyle. She sighs, feeling terrible.She takes a shower and searches for a change of clothes to be more comfortable. With a shawl over her shoulders, she goes out to the balcony to admire the nighttime landscape of the Arrabal estate.Tonight is clear, and many stars twinkle in the dark sky. What

The next morning, in the rose garden, Petra and other young women are talking and laughing among themselves, pointing towards Adelaide's room. In her calmness, she decides to ignore them, opens the book in her hands, and focuses on the romantic plot she's reading. Mercedes had taken care of her education diligently over the years, which is why she can read and write fluently and has knowledge in various areas. Her father, Bahram Valencia, had always been ruthless with his daughter, and Adelaide has no doubt that he hates her with all his might. Nevertheless, he ordered that she receive the education befitting a young woman of her age. If there's one thing Adelaide enjoys, it's studying, and she has always excelled in it. She reads, writes, and dedicates herself even more than her sister Nadia, as one of her teachers had once told her.The women in the garden eventually decide to leave. Petra, who had suggested they go there to bother Adelaide, is furious because she couldn't achieve h

Blood starts to stain the woman's clothes as some guards come to see what's happening. Adelaide feels dazed hearing the screams of the other young women; she doesn't understand what's going on or why Petra accused her when she didn't even see what had happened."She wanted to kill me because she hates me?" Petra's screams alert Lilith, who is supervising some servants' activities in the adjacent garden. Adelaide remains silent, bewildered, not knowing what to say.Egil's cousin quickly arrives to see what's happening. From the blood on Petra's dress, who is crying bitterly, and the screams of the others accusing Adelaide, she can deduce what has happened.Lilith approaches firmly, and suddenly deep silence fills the place. Adelaide shakes her head as her hope crumbles like a sandcastle when Petra says that she was the one who pushed her.Adelaide's face turns as she receives a slap from Lilith. Her skin bears the marks of the woman's fingers in a dark red tone instantly.Petra is abso

Egil is busy conducting inspections of the other estates. The news of an imminent strike by some peasants has occupied all his attention during this time. He ordered Gage to accompany him and left Vítor in charge of important matters at the house with explicit instructions to notify him if anything urgent requires his attention.Late at night, burdened with exhaustion, he heads to his room, takes off his coat, and removes the muddy boots from his feet after walking through the crops and checking production. He has been here for a whole week, and the cold is seeping into his bones in these lands as he tries to reason with his workers. It's proving more challenging than he had believed. He needs at least a month to sort everything out here before returning to the Arrabal hacienda. A workers' strike is the last thing he needs right now.His trip was kept completely secret; no one knew the day he left the hacienda to ensure his safety, which has been under threat for some time."Do you wa

Early in the morning, Mercedes again requests a meeting with Lilith, but the guards inform her that Lilith had to leave the estate to attend to some matters in the capital.After much contemplation and unable to bear the uncertainty, with some apples stuffed in her stockings, the nanny walks hastily through the corridors leading to the lower part of the house, where the cells are located.This house is very large, nothing compared to the Valencias', but thanks to some servants who gave her directions, she finally manages to reach the lowest part, the basement.The cold in this area is uncomfortable, and the smell of the walls is atrocious. Mercedes can't fathom why they brought Adelaide to this place. If her husband weren't away on a trip, this wouldn't have happened, she's sure of it. He wouldn't be so cruel to her over something so insignificant.When she reaches the entrance, she encounters four armed men guarding the place, with six more patrolling the area.According to the serva

Egil Arrabal and at least half a dozen of his men set out to meet the informant. It's still early in the morning, but the mist intensifies the already limited visibility on these roads."What will we do with that man next, boss?" Gage asks, organizing the men into strategic positions. Since yesterday, when he scouted these lands, a suspicion has been growing in him. He knows you can't trust someone who betrays their employer first and then the ideals they chose to follow. Such people are unscrupulous and driven by excessive ambition, capable of selling their soul to the devil himself to achieve their goals."We need him for now," Egil's deep, grave voice responds from the back of the truck, making Gage nod. "We must move cautiously to feign confidence. I need the information he has to put an end to these strike threats. I won't risk our products because of a bunch of jobless peasants.""The men have been in their positions since last night," Gage informs. Egil gives his approval.Gage

Petra stays in bed all day with a bandage on her hand. She feels bored and irritable, unable to do anything. Still, she can't afford to arouse suspicion, so she has no choice but to pretend to be unwell to achieve her goals.In the morning, she had sent a message to Vítor through Petrona, and he came to her room to check on her condition as soon as he could free himself from office duties. As the secretary of the estate, it's his duty to attend to all needs when Egil is absent. Although Lilith is in charge of the household and everything related to the house, he can't ignore Petra's request. That's also part of his job."I hope you recover soon, miss," the man says, looking at the woman in bed. "And that there won't be a scar on your hand. That would anger Mr. Egil greatly."Vítor's words illuminate Petra's mind. Of course, that's what she needs to definitively get rid of that redhead. Egil won't forgive her if she can prove that she caused real harm."Let's hope not, Mr. Vítor. The t

"I didn't know about Egil's orders, Mr. Vítor," Petra says apologetically but immensely happy inside. "I called her 'missus' a few times myself. Egil never told me anything. If I had known, I wouldn't have sinned in my ignorance.""I'm very sorry that you weren't informed, miss. But Mr. Egil put his marriage certificate on hold.""And is that a good thing or a bad thing?""For a title as important as being the wife of the most renowned and prosperous heir of all time, it's definitely a bad thing. Mr. Egil is refusing to acknowledge her and give her his surname. As a result, no member of the family will recognize her as one of them. Although, despite that, she remains someone important and worthy of respect for bearing the Valencia surname.""Yes, I understand," the woman smiles, pretending to be calm.Vítor leaves, and Petra contemplates her situation. She must stop that certificate at all costs, even if she has to kill Adelaide to do so. There can't be another woman more important th

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
