His Substitute Bride 60
Sophia CensatioI really have to explore the whole city for a while before meeting with the girls. I picked up my bag and went out of the room.It's been an hour and it's still hard for me to believe that I'm here. This was like a dream come true for me and o will keep repeating it.I've always had this passion for reading novels but for the past months, I stopped. Not because I don't want to but because I do not have free time to do that. I decided to look for a bookstore I will be lucky to get one. Before I could take a step and probably get a cab and tell him to take me to any bookstore, I heard my name being called by a familiar voice.I turned around and stared at him stunned. "Now, you're stalking me Jonathan" I questioned in a disbelief tone. "No! Why would I do that? I wasn't stalking you. I'm here for work." He said and chuckled at the same time before he moved closer to me. He seems sincere."It's nice seeing you here, Sophia. I remembered, you.told.me you would love to

Sophia CensatioI looked at my wristwatch and realized we arrived at the party at the exact time. We all sauntered in and the journalist decides to show their power by flashing cameras on our faces. The fact that I'm not comfortable because of Aaron. The moment we hopped down from the car, he sneaked his right hand around my small waist and draw me closer to himself making the situation worse for me but, I have no choice but to comply. I think Aaron is going crazy! I was treated like a nobody, he acted like I do not exist and now, he's acting like a protective boyfriend again. Bipolar!I wonder what he wants people to say about us, he's putting me more in trouble by doing this but he doesn't care. One moment, he's sweet and caring and another moment, I'm being treated like trash.He won't stop confusing me all the time. We walked into the interior of the building and I couldn't close my mouth. I opened them in awe. The decoration is so beautiful, simple, and yet classy. "Finall

Sophia CensatioIt's Christian!"Hey babe, what are you doing here?." Chloe jumped up and kissed his lip."Mrs. John would love to have a chat with you girls, we've tried your contacts but non of you is picking up. Why?" He asked as he stared at them intently. I bet, there's something on his mind and I know what he's thinking."You called us all on phone?." Beth asked him in a stunned tone."Not only me but your husband's too." He answered."We're not aware that you called. Our phones are on silent." Lexy said."And, why are your phones on silent?." He looks at them suspiciously. "Don't tell me, you girls are planning something mischievous again?." He glared at them."Come on, you just said Mrs. John wants to meet us, right? Let's go." Chloe clinged her hand on him and all the girls stood up to follow them."Erm, I need to visit the restroom." My voice stopped them."Alright girl, don't stay long, okay? Mrs John is a nice person, I'm sure she'll be please to meet you" Janet said and

Sophia CensatioHis girl?!How dare he claim me as his when he has never proven to me that he wants me? He can't just stop using that word; His girl."I don't take NO for an answer, and you know that Aaron." Jonathan said in a cold tone. I looked at him in stunned. I never knew he can be this cold.Sensing the tension between the two, I decide to break it before it escalate more than this. "Jonathan, we will talk some other time... Okay? Don't forget to give me a call." I said to him."Sure, I will give you a call tonight." He said and kissed my cheek. I was caught off guard, I wasn't expecting him to do that."Er... Erm... Okay then, bye." I said and he winked at me before he left. Leaving behind, Aaron and I. Once he's out of our sight, I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding in. Standing between these crazy two men isn't easy at all. I'm aware, Jonathan only left because of me and I'm so grateful for that else, I wouldn't have know what to do.I turned slowly to look at Aar

Sophia CensatioMy whole body went numb all of a sudden. I could feel the excitement within me even though, the kiss was a little bit rough. I could feel his warm hand roaming all over my body. I'm getting weak and I'm positive that I might faint out of excitement. Seconds later, I come back to my senses.What am I doing? He never claimed he likes me and yet, I always allow him to get to me.I wanted to stop him and at the same time, I want him to continue. I feel him tighten his hand around my waist and kiss my lip deeply. He asked for an entrance but I denied him. I need to stop before things get out of hand. He won't stop asking for an entrance but, I didn't give in yet. He kissed my neck and suck on it gently. I almost moan at that moment but tried hard not to. He didn't stop there, he further move forward to my shoulder and placed a wet lingering kiss there as he suck on that particular place hungrily.Now, I can't hold in anymore and had to let out my moan. I didn't know, this

Sophia Censatio"He's fine, okay? It's just that, erm.. he.. he's actually the reason why the situation is like this" Lexy said. "What are you talking about?""Erm, you know, Aaron and Jonathan used to be best of friends then," Chloe said.I stared at their faces stunned. "You can't be serious right now, right? Aaron and Jonathan are friends? Best friends?!" I questioned in an unbelievable tone."Yes, they're. What you're aware of is, they hate each other so much, right but the truth is, they used to be best friends... Not only with Aaron but with the boys too." Tia said too."I still do not understand y'all, can someone make me understand what's going on?.""Years ago, they were all friends and inseparable too. Everything was going fine not until Jonathan almost got into trouble. He was almost killed but Aaron risked his life to save him" Janet explained. "If they're friends and Aaron had to risk his life to save Jonathan then, what happened afterward?." I questioned in a frustr

Sophia Censatio"Why are you still hiding it from him? Aren't you supposed to tell him you're in love with Aaron?""Lexy, that will be too much on him. Sophia knows what she's doing, telling him that would hurt his feelings. Besides, they've been friends for a while now, if she has to tell him that.. she will need to be careful with her choice of words with him considering the issue between the two men. Of course, she wouldn't want to hurt Jonathan." Janet said."Nevertheless, Sophia. You would still have to tell him, he needs to know you like Aaron else, you want to consider Jonathan instead" Beth said. "Are you crazy?! Why would I choose Jonathan over Aaron? I mean, of course, Jonathan is a great guy. He's also good looking and he's every woman's dream, he's completely the opposite of Aaron, he is sweet and caring. Not only that, he understands me a lot. He knows when I'm sad and happy but Aaron, he's completely the opposite of him yet, I can't believe I choose him over a man like

Sophia Censatio"What are you talking about?" "You're acting weird, I don't know you anymore. I don't even understand you. This is not the Aaron I used to know. You wouldn't even listen to me. I just wanted us to be back together. Let's go back to how we used to be but, you don't want that. You keep pushing me away. This is not you anymore.""For fuck sake, you can't expect me to be the same person you knew back then. You ruined me and want me to accept you back with open arms?." He scoffs."Why? Why can't you accept me back? I accept my mistakes. I apologized for it, what else do you want me to do?.""Leave." He suddenly said."What?!""Leave and do not come back to me again. Just go away, do not come near me anymore. I'm fine without you and I'm happy.""Because of Sophia?.""Fuck!" He grunts. "Why would you bring up-""Just answer me! Why are you doing this to me? You don't love her, do you? She's just one of your flings. I know you too well, Aaron. You can't love any other woman

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

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
