His Substitute Bride 23
Aaron SamuelFully aware of my anger issue and yet, provoke me at every given opportunity she's got. I know, I haven't shouted this much at her ever since I knew her, I can only scold her and that's all. Neither does she do her work properly or do things right. She better be lucky because of what we had else, I would have shown her the other side of me. I watch her stare at me with an unexplainable look, she looks pained. I have no idea before she ran out of my office. Good riddance- I softly muttered and shook my head afterward.Trying to forget about what has happened, I decided to concentrate more on my work and switched off my CCTV system. Not quite long after that was done, my phone started to ring.It's Zoey!"Hey, baby." He said in a girly tone."Fuck off, you idiot! Beth mustn't hear you say this, she would kill you." I said rolling my eyes at him even though he can't see me. All my friends are foolishly in love and neither can I consider the girls bad. I just hope it las

Sophia CensatioNot only has he been a jerk to me but also his mother. Now, I have no idea if I have done the right thing by setting up a meeting with his mother. What if, he gets upset at me and does an unthinkable thing to me?for a moment, my heart skipped at the thought before I decided to drown myself in work again.I was still working on my system but I feel famished already and It was prompt 1:00 pm. Saving the already work in the system, I got up to go get something to eat at the cafeteria opposite the building. I don't think, I can hold in the hunger anymore and, I just realized I haven't taken anything since morning. I was in a hurry and left without eating anything. I might end up fainting any moment from now if I continue this way. I put on back my jacket, my phone, and my wallet into my bag and got up to leave. For some strange reason, I looked around again hoping to see the camera he has installed here. A while ago, after I yelled at him, he hadn't called back since t

Aaron SamuelWe both arrived a few minutes later and hopped down from the car however, she is still silent.I hate to concede, but I missed the annoying her. We both walk towards the entrance of the building and suddenly, she stopped me. "Wait! Where are we?." She asked."You should be able to read, sweetheart. Of course, you went to school." I said pointing towards the banner hanging on the wall up the building. "Stop calling me that. I have a name. I'm not your sweetheart" She hissed. "Ouch, you wound me, sweetheart. I bet no one has claimed you yet so, why can't I?" I teased her. I always find joy in teasing her. There's this strange feeling, this excitement I get whenever I do. Those killing eyes, though. She looks hot right now."I won't fall for your games." She hiss and I shrug off my shoulder.I don't care!"Why did you bring me here? This is one of the most expensive restaurants in town. I'm not like you, hope you know that? Why would you bring me here in the first pla

Sophia CensatioI dropped the menu and remembered I made a promise to his mom about letting her know her son's whereabouts. I brought out my phone and drop her a text. Still confused about why he won't pick up his mother's call. Not only has he been a jerk to me but also his mother. "Is there anything going on? Why are you staring at your phone continuously? You can't tell me your phone is much more important than I am.""Stop teasing, it doesn't suit you." I rolled my eyes as I said that."But you know I wasn't lying. You can't resist this look. " He said arrogantly. For somewhat reason, I look around and saw lots of girls squealing and drooling over him already. Some were glaring my way ready to murder me if they were opportune to."You're just lucky because you got a beautiful gene from your parents and that's all! "" You really won't cease to amaze me. " He commented and a waitress came to take our order. "Hello, handsome." She greeted him, sexily. I looked at her from head

Sophia CensatioI was about to take the last bite of my food when my gaze fell on this beautiful and classy woman who walked in with a sunshade on her face. I sat there and opened my mouth in awe.I can't believe I would set my eyes on her someday. "What are you staring at?" Aaron asked me before following my gaze. " What the fuck?!! Mom!!" How the fuck did she get to know I'm here?." I heard him curse. I swear Aaron got his beautiful gene from his parents. I believe I was right when I said that to him earlier.She scan the whole place and smiled at us when her gaze fell on her son. I hurriedly stood on my feet and bowed to greet her.She walk elegantly towards us, took the shade off her face, and took a seat across me. Never in my wildest dream, would I have thought I would be sitting across one of the wealthiest women in the country. Not only that, but she's also beautiful. I knew she would be beautiful but, not to this extent.Her skin looks so soft too."Mom, what are you doing

Sophia Censatio"Mom, stop it! That's enough! At this point, I think I can't take this anymore. Don't you get it? You can't choose for me. I can't believe you're emotionally blackmailing me, mom! This is wrong! You know, I will always listen to anything you told me and that's why you're doing this." A deep sigh left his mouth and he look frustrated already. "Mom please, stop controlling my life! I can take decisions on my own, I'm not a kid." He beseeches her surprisingly in a calmer tone. I stared at him confused. Just a few minutes ago, he was yelling and now, he's calm. Bipolar!"If you don't want me to keep pestering you on the same issue repeatedly then, you do as I've asked you to. Okay, agreed you believe no one is good out there enough but, I believe we already have someone perfect for that. And she's here with us" "What are you talking about?." He questioned, confusedly. I'm as curious as he was. Who is she talking about?"Sophia here, she's a great girl! I believe, she's

Sophia Censatio"Of course, you can't expect me to exchange words with him in presence of his mom. What would she think of me." I rolled my eyes even though, she can't see me.I got up to get the files I'd been meaning to work on before that jerk walk up to me and forced me to go out with him."Are you going somewhere?" "Erm.. yes, I need to get some files downstairs" I answered. "You see the more reason why I told Mom about you. Look, Sophia, you're going to make a perfect partner for Aaron. You're just too sweet" She praises me. "This is not the time to make me feel on top of the world, Tia. Plus, you should have informed me ahead before doing anything behind my back. I was lost earlier! I looked like a fool." "But you're not. Don't be like this, Sophia besides, I never knew he would be mad at you for no reason. I had thought, he will listen to mom believing he had something for you. I mean, you told us he kissed you, not once but twice. I had thought, he felt something strong f

Sophia Censatio"May I remind you that you're stuck with me for the next years so, you can't escape me? You think I do not know what you're trying to do? I won't fire you, Sophia, you're in my lion's den already and you can't escape it." He said arrogantly.How dare he claim me like I'm nothing?! I'm not an abject to acquire without any respect! He needs to accord me some respect. "You don't own me and I'm not an object that you can just acquire as you wish" I hissed as I said that. "It's pointless having this conversation with you. But remember this, everything going on between you and that boy needs to stop" He ordered. "What?. " "I hate repeating myself, Sophia. "" How could you sit there calmly and dictate about my life to me? You can't possibly tell me what to do and what not to do. This is my life and it's none of your business! Stay out of it!" I glared at him as I said that. "Do not test my patience, Sophia. I do not want to. see you around that boy again and that's fina

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
