Do you feel this book coming to an end already? Feels like I started it just yesterday! Not to worry, though. I have another yummy book coming up in March that's going to steal your hearts once again. This time, it’s a substitute bride and her handsome undercover BILLIONAIRE! Who’s excited?
LILIYAWe returned home that same day, late at night.Dice and I had just finished taking a steamy shower together, in his room, and I was busy drying my hair with a hairdryer while standing in front of the vanity mirror when my phone beeped, indicating a new text message.I peered into the device on the table from where I stood. It was an email. The first person who came to mind was Papa. Yes, I got work emails a lot too, but for some reason I did not think that this email was work related.I had obviously been staring at the phone for a long period of time, because Dice was suddenly in front of me with his hand waving in front of my face.I blinked twice, then looked up at him. My eyes did not stay up for long, though. They trailed down his shirtless, taut body and wandered down…"My eyes are up here, princess." He taunted and I looked away from his body with the speed of light. He quietly chuckled at this and stepped forward to tilt my chin up so I was facing him. He continued, "Or
LILIYAI wanted to cry so bad, but I could not even bring myself to do it. Yet another person who did not want me. My own mother gave me away without thinking twice.I stared blankly at Inessa as she went on and on about our past, and it was only when she called my name loudly that I jerked back to present."Where did you go?" She asked me, rubbing my exposed arm in a comforting manner. I just smiled slowly, unable to quite get used to this side of my sister."I was here all along…""Was not." She retaliated, giving me the stink eye. I chuckled. "I should start the story over again. I was just telling you about the thing that led to me killing Ma's sister and you dare not pay attention?"Well, how could I not pay attention to that now?"Oh, I must have missed that. Tell me all about it."And so she did. Inessa loved to tell stories, and I already knew that asking her to repeat herself would not be much of a problem; she was chatty like that.She had killed Rosa's sister in self defens
DICEI did not have a good feeling about leaving my wife alone with her bitter sister, Inessa. It was why I rushed to finish everything I had to promptly take care of on time, and before evening, I was on my home.As I drove, I could not help but recall that the contract was ending in a matter of days. It was something that I had been trying to avoid, but it was simply impossible to do so now. It was so close, and even if Liya had not spoken about leaving me in a while, I still had my worries. I could not imagine her leaving me. I just refused to think of it.I was almost close to my house when my phone rang. It was Ethan."Hello—""Boss, Henri! Trevor, actually or whatever. He is… the other men told me that he's inside your wife's room right now and he wants to… he's about to shoot her… I'm on my way upstairs, I—"Boom!And then the line went dead. A fucking gunshot. I had just heard a gunshot, and now the line was dead? My wife… Trevor…"Ethan? Ethan?"I flung the phone to one of th
LILIYADice immediately pressed his lips to mine, kissing me like I was his oxygen. I knew, because I felt that way too. I kissed him back with as much affection, pouring all my love into the single kiss.We kept going at it until I was nudged onto the bed, and I started to protest right away."Dice…""I know you're wet for me already, princess. Open those legs." He spoke hoarsely against my ear, and ever greedily, I forgot why I did not want this to happen in the first place and my legs were wide open in no time.Because I was not wearing any panties under my nightgown, his fingers met my most intimate part directly, causing him to groan."What a naughty girl…" He mulled, then slammed his middle finger inside me to the hilt. My lips parted in an ‘O’ and stayed like that as his long digit pumped in and out of me without mercy. I was already close to release, so, so close… I could already feel it…He pulled his finger out of my pussy, leaving me needy as fuck and I grabbed his hand, tr
EIGHT MONTHS LATER Liya had a tear rolling down her right cheek as she gazed at the child in her arms. He was hers. Perfect, a bundle of joy, and most of all, utterly and undeniably hers. She thought she would burst of happiness just by watching him wiggle and whimper in her arms. Was this the love of a mother they spoke of? Just a few hours ago, she thought she would definitely give up due to the amount of pain she was passing through while pushing the baby. Dice had held her hand while she pushed, encouraging her to push for him, and she tried, heaven knew she put in her last strength to get the baby out. She did it. He was here now, even if his dad wasn't, at the moment. She already missed him, and she wanted to see how proud he was of her, because it was always there in his eyes—how much he appreciated her strength. She had missed that look in his eyes, because she had fallen unconscious immediately after the baby was all the way out. The nurse said he had stepped out sometime
LILIYALet me start by saying, this was not my idea.I would rather be in my apartment now, under my duvet, stuffing my mouth with snacks and a handful of lollipops while watching a new series on my laptop to celebrate my graduation from college. But my non-identical twin sister, Inessa believed herself a 'social butterfly' and because of it, I'd been dragged out to party in a club with more drunk people than the number of Popes in the world.The neon blue lights were the only breaks in the darkness and apparently, it was more than enough for the clubbers. I resisted the urge to shield my ears from the deafening offbeat music blaring from the speakers, as it was so not my scenerio. Still, I smiled at anyone who approached me, even if it didn't ease the discomfort I strongly felt."I'll be going to the washroom now, Liya. I won't be long, stay here and wait." Nessa spoke suddenly. I grabbed her wrist, causing her to whirl around fast."Please don't be long, Nessa. This place makes me r
LILIYA"I'm going to be riding you tonight, baby." My nose twisted in disgust from the words I'd just heard from a woman beside me, as I downed yet another glass of strong alcohol. The bitter taste lingered in the back of my throat and I twisted my face in agony.Again, how did people get addicted to such an intolerable liquid? But maybe, I thought then, maybe they didn't get addicted to the alcohol itself, but the effects rather. It was a perfect escape. An easy route to temporarily escape your problems. Now that I think of it, what would we have done without alcohol?Yes, I'd come here with something else in mind. Give Henri a taste of his own medicine by cheating back—because that was what most of the girls in the romance ebooks I'd read did, but then I realized I couldn't bring myself to do it while sober, so I decided to drown myself in drinks again.I planned to drink until I was brave enough to go off with one of the men who'd been ogling me and paying for some of my drinks. T
LILIYAI was going to die.Apparently, this man did not lie when he said he'd be fucking my mouth. I was now a mess on my knees with my palms on his hard thighs, my oxygen supply limited considerably and my face red from his assault. It was almost like he was punishing me for something, and I knelt there, opening my mouth wider anytime he commanded me to.His dick slammed into my mouth repeatedly, reaching places I'd never dreamt of any man getting to. I was so tempted to touch myself, but the two times I'd tried, he'd smacked my hands away. My eyes were filled with tears which trailed down to my breasts, but he kept going with the same merciless rhythm."Fuck," he muttered suddenly and pulled me up by my arm abruptly, with his dick still hard as a rock. His dick left my mouth with a pop. He hadn't cum yet after he'd fucked my mouth for so long? I was thrown onto a mattress before I got an answer to my unasked question and I propped up on my elbows to watch him unbutton his shirt in t

LILIYA "She's lying, Papa. How could you believe her? She made up these evidences and you immediately believe her? She's useless and dumb! How could she know all these things all of a sudden?" Inessa yelled, and since I was done playing nice and trying to cover up her ass, I pulled out some more files and walked up to Papa, then chucked the laptop into his hands. "See for yourself, papa. Now, why would I lie about a thing like this?" I questioned and crossed my arms over my chest as I kept my eyes on Inessa. In no time, I could feel Dice's presence behind me and I naturally leaned back into him, causing him to wrap a protective arm around my waist. Rosa's eyes immediately went down to the hand wrapped around my waist and when she looked back up at me, I could not read the emotion on her face. She was not even defending her daughter, which shocked even Inessa. I could see her shock from the occasional glances she threw at her mother and squinted eyes from time to time. Rosa never loo
LILIYA"After this truth, I will leave your lives forever. I know for a fact that it would make you all super happy if I left." I spoke with a lot of bitterness in my tone. Inessa rolled her eyes at once and spat,"Why don't you just get on with whatever you want to say and stop making a party out of it. As you can see, I'm all dressed to go out." She informed me, making a gesture towards her clothing. Dressed in a skimpy dress with heels and lot of jewelries to complete the dress, Inessa really looked like she had somewhere to be. But where could she be going, dressed like that? I shrugged in my head; it was not like that was any of my business. I only smiled, though the show of emotion did not reach my eyes. Only if Inessa knew that she would not be going anywhere for days if I revealed this truth.I did not try to keep them in suspense though, as my parents… or parent and his wife, already had gigantic frowns on their faces."I'll just get on with it." I spoke, then began to take
DICEAll the air left my lungs as soon as Brandon said the words. I waited for sometime to see if he would take his words back, or laugh, anything that would show that he was not serious about this. But Brandon's expression remained the same, as serious as ever."What do you mean by this?" I asked him, my fingers rapping against the table as I struggled to remain calm. I could act like the position of a Mob Boss meant nothing to me as much as I wanted, but in truth, I knew that I totally abhorred watching Rex Corp lose more respect as the days passed, I hated watching the people complain every single day, I absolutely hated watching Rex Corp slowly crumble just because of my decision. It was not that I could choose taking back the position over wiping off Liya's family, but still.Brandon sighed, then ran his fingers through his hair and watched me for a few seconds, intently, like he was looking for something. I did not care what."I was wrong to take the position from you in the fi
DICEShe did not protest when I lifted her off the ground and carried her in my arms, bridal style, moving towards the stairs. She was still sobbing into my shirt, and I did not dare interrupt. She had every right to let all her pain out, even if I personally felt that the people she was crying over weren't worth it one bit.It was the first time I had seen her break down completely; with such a defeated look in her eyes. The results had completely broken her spirit, and while I felt very bad for making her feel like this, I also knew that this was unavoidable, and she could either choose to know this now, or later. She would still learn of it one way or the other.We arrived at my room and after unlocking the door with one of my hands which was underneath her, I walked inside. Then, I laid Liya on my bed, covering her with the duvet before going over to the side to lie beside her.We just lay beside each other—her, avoiding my eyes like they were plagues and me, unable to take my eye
