CEO's Substitute Wife Chapter 68. It was an accident
"Do you think Egil will ever love me the way he loved my sister?" Adelaide asks Irene with a sorrow that she can't hide."My nephew already feels something for you, dear. Whether he admits it or not is another thing, but I have no doubt that there is some love in his heart for you. A proof of that is the necklace he gave you, which belonged to his mother. He wouldn't give it to anyone unless he feels something special," Irene replies.The women spend a long time discussing everything that happened the previous night. Irene is excited at the thought of Adelaide finally being able to give her nephew a real family. She would love for her to get pregnant, although the chances of that happening on the first night are not a hundred percent certain, as it all depends on what fate has in store for them.The hacienda would be a complete celebration if that were to happen. The entire Arrabal clan eagerly awaits that heir.Mercedes walks over to them, also with a tray and some tea cups, and Iren

Adelaide sits on her husband's lap and rests her head on his chest. The scent his cologne and his warmth envelop her, and she closes her eyes to savor this wonderful moment.Egil holds her close and cradles her without saying anything more. There doesn't seem to be anything else to say between them, not until she lifts her head to look at him, and their mouths unintentionally brush against each other.They both look at each other without moving, though their lips are still pressed together. For endless seconds, neither of them pulls away, but neither of them reacts either.Did Egil ever want to kiss her? Yes, many times, just yesterday when they made love, but especially now, in this moment.One of his large hands goes to the back of Adelaide's head, and with the other, he firmly holds her chin.His mouth claims hers, and he starts kissing her. Adelaide isn't exactly sure what she should do, but out of pure instinct, she opens her mouth and lets him in. Their tongues dance together, s

Monica gives Adelaide a glass of water and a fever-reducing pill and asks her to lie down again with her legs stretched out. Mercedes stays to watch over her rest while Irene and Monica leave for the office with the news for Egil. Lilith, who is supervising the tasks of some maids, sees the doctor of her mother leaving Adelaide's room and knows that the moment has arrived. This must be communicated to Petra immediately. She knocks on the door twice and Petrona opens it. "The moment has arrived, Petra. My mother's doctor was in Adelaide's room for a long time, then they hurriedly left in the van. I'm sure she's pregnant and they're on their way to tell Egil." "Damn bitch!" Petra screams in uncontrollable fury. "I'm going to dance on her grave when Egil gets rid of her and that spawn in her womb." The woman nods at Petrona and she immediately goes to give the warning to the man who must do the job. "Those women we selected are already ready to testify," Lilith informs with a smile

A couple of days later, Bahram Valencia sends his secretary along with Egil to deliver the request. He didn't think it was a good idea to just send a message; it's better that someone delivers it in person.The secretary arrives at the Arrabal estate, and the guards notify Gage of Mr. Valencia's secretary's visit. Gage initially refuses him an audience, as Egil had ordered, but due to the man's persistence and claiming to bring a message from Nadia Valencia, he eventually allows him to enter.

"I told you, Egil, no one has seen her leave. She's not with my mother either; I checked her room. It's very strange that she went out without telling anyone. Isn't she supposed to be on bed rest?" Lilith's comment hits Egil like a punch to the gut.He senses the malice in her words, but he has to admit that this time she didn't say anything that wasn't true.He asks her to leave and sends one of his guards to fetch Loida. She must have seen Adelaide. She can't disappear among so many guards and servants scattered throughout the estate."Mr. Arrabal, the servant is here," a guard reports, and Egil signals for her to come in.Loida looks at him nervously."Where is my wife?" Loida remains with her gaze fixed on the floor. For a few seconds, she hesitates to speak until he grows impatient and approaches her threateningly."I saw Mrs. Adelaide going into the basement, sir." The fearful tone of the servant furrows Egil's brow, although that's the least of his concerns now. What would she

Gage is beside his boss, and on the other side is Lilith."Egil, I..." Adelaide chokes on sobs and cannot form a complete sentence."Who gave you the keys to that criminal's cell, Adelaide?"

Last Updated : 2023-10-17CEO's Substitute Wife Chapter 75. She Disappeared
The next morning, Adelaide's door opens and a young maid, whom she had never seen before, enters with a tray. Hadn't her husband said that no one could enter, except for the guards?"I bring your prescribed meal, ma'am," she says, leaving everything she brought on the table. Adelaide doesn't even feel like responding. She is sitting in a armchair with her gaze towards the window."You must eat well, remember that you are pregnant. Mr. Arrabal asked for you to be closely monitored in terms of the food you consume."Adelaide remains silent."Your husband woke up in a better mood, ma'am. It seems that Petra managed to make him happy last night, because they woke up and even had breakfast together. They both looked very calm and happy. At least he is not as angry as he was yesterday."The young woman's eyes start tearing up again, as if she hasn't cried enough throughout the night. Egil spent the night with that woman who has caused her so much harm since she arrived at the estate. He did

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

Adriano whispers as he takes in every detail of her from head to toe.

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

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.

Did he have her

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.
