His Substitute Bride 12
Sophia CensatioHuh? How does he expect me to answer that?"I'm sorry, Jon. Please, just let me go, okay? I promise. I won't tell Aaron or anyone that you were the reason behind my disappearance." I said, hoping he would listen to me and let me go." Do I look like a fool to you? I can't do that. I can't grant your request not after you ruined my plan.""Your plan?.""Yes, my plan. You know what I'm talking about and stop pretending." He hissed.Of course, I know what he was talking about but... How did he know though? Or, could it be that Amanda told him already about it? "Jonathan, what plan are you talking about?." I know, I'm crazy for asking such a question but, I just want him to say it with his mouth. I want him to admit it himself."Stop acting like you have no idea of what he's talking about, bitch!" A very familiar feminine voice said as the door opens and she walked into the room elegantly."Cyn .. Cynthia?!!!!" I'm shocked.What's she doing here?"You ruined not only his

Sophia Censatio"You have no idea of what you're talking about! Can you listen to yourself speak? You don't sound normal! You intend to ruin someone else's family all because you're envious of me? How could you utter a thing like that? Oh! Now, you can't take it anymore because he has moved on with his life with another woman? You suddenly want to take revenge? Aaron was never yours, if he were to be then, you wouldn't have left him for another man. Admit your mistake, you were just after the two men's money. You do not love either of them. You're a fool for thinking you're sounding like a human right now because you are not.""How dare you talk back at me?!" She asked angrily and slapped me across my face."Philip". I heard her call someone's name.A guy walked in and stood beside the entrance of the room. "Yes, boss." He said. "lock her up, she mustn't be given any food, not until I said so." She ordered and walked out of the room.What do they want from me? None of them is saying

Aaron Samuel"Stop right there!" One of the officers said to him making him stop on his track."Hands up, Mr. Jonathan." He raised his hand and smirked at me."Finally, you found her, huh?.""Fucking shut your mouth up, you bastard!" I glared at him before shifting my gaze back to Sophia. She looks so helpless right now. Her face says it all... so pale.Two officers moved closer to him and handcuffed him before he was taken away."Aa... Aaron?... You... You came for me?". She whispered in a low voice.I don't know what came over me but I can't move my legs, I ought to move closer to her and scoop her up in my arms, right? I've been missing her badly for the past four days and now, that I've finally found her... I stood there without attempting to walk up to her and embrace her in my arms."Aaron, I... I can't... please help-". Those were her last words before she slumps on the floor and her eyes shut tightly."Sophia!! Sophia please, open your eyes! What happened?! I'm right here, not
His Substitute Bride 115
Sophia Censatio"Yes, she was. I would never forget how she treated me. You need to see the look on her face. She hatred she had for me. Aaron, she's still in love with you, and, what if they kidnap me again for the second time? What will happen to me then?." I asked him in a panicked tone and he suddenly embrace me tightly in his arms." No babe, no one is going to take you away from me again. You're mine and mine forever. I have claimed what's mine already and, I won't allow anyone to take away what belongs to me."" I'm not an object, you crazy man that you can just claim like that." I hiss and hit his chest with my small hands. He only chuckled and kissed my forehead before he embrace me more in a tight hug."Aaron, I'm scared.""Don't be. Everything is going to be fine... Okay." He assured me."What about Jonathan? What happened to him?.""Don't worry, he's been taken care of." He answered, firmly."What?! What do you mean he has been taken care of? Does this mean, you killed him

Aaron SamuelSix Months LaterI walked into the building panting hard. I sauntered forward closer to my family with an already heavy heart. No, I can't believe this! I can't believe all of this happened to Sophia and me.All this started six months ago before she got kidnapped and I rescued her, we were both happy. I couldn't hide my feelings for her anymore. She was the woman I have always prayed to have. I loved and cherish her so much. We loved each other, we visited so many places together also. Sometimes, I would skip work just to be with her, I couldn't wait any longer to have her in my arms, seeing her waking up in my arms every morning and being the first to see her beautiful face.Things were fine between us not until, I visited my Dad concerning what he told me weeks back to find a time and come over so we can talk about my late sister, Cynthia. After meeting up with him and doing my findings, I couldn't believe what I found. I can't believe Sophia and her family had a han

Aaron SamuelI lost my memory after the incident. I could remember how badly I treated her and her family. I wasn't ready to listen to her. I hated her because I was not left with any of her memories again except Cynthia's. I can't believe, I let Cynthia control my heart toward my wife. My wife? Did I just at, my wife? The same wife I divorced already?I started having therapy the past 2 months and finally! I regained my memory back but, what I heard next made my whole heart go numb.I was alarmed by the look on my mom's face and, calling out my brother's name in such a panic tone scared the shit out of me at that moment. "What happened to, Nathan?." He's the only brother I've got, I would not want anything bad to happen to him. Putting that aside, he has always been there for my wife. Always supported her and cared for her. Not only her but, also my friends and their wives too. When I was a jerk to her, they stood there for her.I owe them a lot."You see, Aaron... We... We kinda r

Aaron SamuelShe look through her system one more time before passing me a small smile. "I'm truly sorry. There was a mix-up. Your wife is on the 6th floor." She said. "6th floor..." I trailed off. "Second turning by the right and first turning by the left." She replied and without a word being said to her, I sauntered up straight to see my wife. I and my parents sauntered to where they were all standing before my gaze fell on my brother, Nathan. Her friends are all here too. I guess, everyone has always been there for her for the past months except me. It was really hard to walk up to them, I couldn't see myself going closer to where they all are. Suddenly, I felt a hard yet firm hand on my shoulder. I do not need to be told who it was, it's my dad.I turned to face him and he gave me an assuring smile with a nod. I don't know if I can do this. A deep sigh left my lip whilst I pat his hand before sauntering closer to her family. "Charlotte." I heard my mom call after Sophia's
His Substitute Bride 119
Aaron Samuel"Amanda" Charlotte gave her a warning stare. "I'm sorry Aunt but, I'm not gonna listen to you this time around. You're very well aware that someone needs to make him see the truth. The truth is that he's wrong. We all know he wronged Sophia in so many ways. He never regard her existence, she was treated like trash by him and his so-called girlfriend." She hissed and glared hard at me. Where's the lie? She's damn right!"Just stop it, guys! That's enough!" Charlotte said again. "Why do I have to be? I have no idea why you're backing him up for his action. Your daughter is lying lifelessly in there but, you want us to act like everything is fine when he walks up to us? I have no idea why he had to show up all of a sudden. Of course, he has a mistress so, why is he here?""I said... That's enough, you crazy girl" Charlotte repeated through gritted teeth. "But mom, Amanda is right," Janet said. I looked at her and sighed. I can't believe she's also upset at me. Of cour

Sophia Censatio8 Months laterIt's been three months already. Everything is now in places. If there's anything I'm so sure of right now is, my family is complete once again. Eight months ago, Aaron did his best in making it up to him and I must say that, he really tried his best. I almost had a misunderstanding with him because of that so called girl Alissa. He begged me and told me it was all a mistake. Everything happened when he lost his memory and he regretted his actions. I forgave him though and my parents, both my mom, I did forgive them also. Weeks later, I have no idea of what Cynthia was thinking, she came to me and apologized to my husband and I. Not only that, I also reconciled with my sister, Bianca and brother, Joseph too. Did I also tell you that Jonathan came to ask for a forgiveness? Well, he did. And now, he is going out with Cynthia again, hopefully, the two will get married at the same time with Nathan and Tiana. Well, that's what I've been hoping for. Six mon

Sophia CensatioThe doctor, who I assumed was a friend of Aaron's, checked my arm for a few minutes before looking up at him and telling Aaron that everything would be fine. She prescribed me medications and told me to take them constantly without missing them. She leaves the room and Aaron follows. I swear, I saw the look she gave my husband. A loving and seductive look. My whole body suddenly heated up with jealousy. I get up from Aaron's bed and follow them in silence without them noticing. I saw her cross her hand over her chest and give Aaron a seductive look. I knew it! I knew something was wrong when she bit her lip before leaving the room prematurely. "What are you doing Alissa?" Aaron asked her as she suddenly approached him and put her hand on his chest. I was very calm not to be noticed, even though I'm seething with rage right now. “Stop your stupid trick, idiot, tell her to stop touching you like that and you're my man. make her understand, idiot" I wanted to come out

Sophia Censatio"Hmm," I mumbled. " What the hell ! How dare she?" he shouted angrily."He saved me from her, thanks to Jonathan who was there when she attacked me."“Damn it! I can't believe she's here to show her face and do this to you.” Saying that, he hissed.“Can we forget that for a moment? My right arm hurts Aaron." i cried for him.Before I knew what he was doing, he grabbed me, picked me up in a bridal style. "Aaron!!! What are you doing?" I asked him."Aaron, where are you taking me?" I asked again as he left my room. "That's up to me to know and up to you to find out." he says as he kisses my cheek."Okay, I don't know where you're taking me, but can you at least drop me off? I don't want people to see us like this," I said."Why? You are my wife. As much as I can proudly show you to the world, I don't care what other people think." He kissed my cheek again as he said that.Well, this person is no longer acting normal. I'm still surprised he wasn't totally upset after see

Sophia Censatio"Sofia! Are you okay?" he asked again concerned. I look at him and sneered at him, I can't believe you had the courage to show me his face after everything he did to me. "Jonathan, what do you think you're doing here?"" how did you get into my room? who told you I was here?" I ask him questions.“Sofia, can you at least let me explain? You didn't let me explain and you're so upset at me for what-""Wait a minute, did you say upset?" I'm running out of patience now. “If I was upset at you, I would have told Aaron to put you in jail a long time ago. Listen, I have nothing to tell you. Get out of my room for now. I don't want to talk to you and I don't have to listen to you. Stay away and never come back. ""But Sofia, you...""I said you need to leave." I raised my hand to stop him from saying another word. My hands, shaking again. Now I can actually feel the pain behind my arm. I can't believe I hurt this arm badly earlier. "You're still the same, so stubborn," he sa

Sophia Censatio"Oh! How did I forget you're not close and I can totally understand what that means. Your mean mother, Ivy, has made my life unbearable ever since my father died. Not only did she made my life miserable, but she made me her tool. A tool to extract money from the rich.""What are you talking about ?!!""Why?! Why are you so surprised? Didn't you see how she almost made me take everything from Aaron? I was about to reach my goal when I found out that Aaron had signed all of his properties in your name. And now you think... I will allow you and that miserable mother to ever be happy? It has to be ruined, just like she ruined mine."“You know, I still feel weird about the whole thing because I can't believe we had the same father. And my biological mother has always been good to you and Ivy couldn't do that to me. My mother took care of you and Ivy makes my life miserable every day. Well, it looks like someone is in danger." Her face suddenly smells of danger.“Cynthia, do

Sophia CensatioWeek laterA week has passed since the incident. I heard from Aaron that Susan had left the country. She's in Greece now. But I wonder what she was doing there and how he knew where she was. She left without telling anyone... Kate, on the other hand, was very worried about her and her parents. But Aaron wanted nothing more than to catch her and make her pay for what she did to me.Even if she pays for what she did to me, it won't change anything for now. And Kate, she took such good care of her I think. I mean, I was told that. She sees her as the daughter she lost a year ago.Come back to me.Where do you think I live now? I am staying at one of the Aaron hotels. He wanted to take me home but I still can't. We had several conversations about staying in a hotel at the moment, which was very hard to convince. He told me he would only allow me to stay at his hotel.And I'm glad he understood that I want to be alone for now. I take the time to think clearly. And mom, I pi

Sophia Censatio"Don't touch me! I deserve to know the whole truth...and now that I know it, the woman I loved so much, the woman I would give my life for, the woman I would sacrifice my happiness for, ain't nothing like a liar. She ain't nothing but a cheat! She's a kidnapper!" I got mad and spat on her. I don't know what's wrong with me or why I'm so mean to her all of a sudden, but I have to tell her everything I'm thinking right now. It's too much for me to bear. I may seem strong, but I'm in deep pain with myself right now. "Sophia!!! How dare you call me a kidnapper?!" She demanded angrily and she stopped midway to hit me. My eyes widened in horror, but she stopped as she slowly withdrew her hand."Come on, hit me! Do it! Come on, hit me! After all, I'm not your biological daughter. I'm not yours, so hit me! Come on, hit me. Hit me all you want!" I took her hand and kept hitting my face with it.She tried to pull her hand away from mine, but mine was gripped so tightly. I wasn'

Sophia Censatio"Hello Alvira." I heard a voice, I mean, we all heard his voice behind us, me and my friends. Needless to say whose voice it was, of course it was Ivy.I wonder what this woman is doing here right now. She is the last person I want to see right now."Hi girls." She greets my friends. I can't take my eyes off her for a second. She was now a person who behaves like a good person. I can't believe she's the same Ivy I used to know. The ivy I knew was cruel, disrespectful, and ruthless, with no regard for the feelings of others. The ivy I see now is different from the ivy I knew before. The Ivy who doesn't care and act random but I know why the act all of a sudden. Well, nothing will change my mind just because of her sudden change in attitude."Hi, Ivy," Janet greeted her with a small smile on her face."Hello." Beth said."Hello Ivy. Good morning." Lexy greeted her."Hello." Chloe said.She walked over to where I lay on the bed and walked past my friends with a small sm

Aaron Samuel"Where is she now?" I asked Nathan."Okay, I haven't heard from her since the accident, she's been missing since yesterday.""So now, you're saying no one knows where she is?""I called David and I think his call will come in now." Nathan said. Time passed and my phone rang. I took it out of my pocket and kept it. "Yes David?""Boss, we found her whereabouts. She's in Greece."" Greece? ! What the hell is she doing there without paying for her sin?" I wasn't talking to anyone in particular, more likely to myself."Good. Please send me all information on her whereabouts immediately.""Okay boss, Roger that." he said. "Boss…" he reminded me before I hung up. "What is it, David?""I have something important to share with you."“Look David, whatever you want to tell me can wait…I'm sure it doesn't matter as much my wife's. if it's not about my wife, set everything aside for now.""Exactly, boss. But that goes for you too, it has to do with your wife.""What happened to my wi
