His Substitute Bride 100
Sophia Censatio"I'm fine, Seb." I said in a faint voice."You're burning up for goodness sake! Tell me, where have you been for the past few days? Trying your number but it's not going through too. You got me worried. I have no idea of knowing where you stay. You left with Mr. Samuel and never return with him. What's going on?." He bombards me with lots of questions."How many of your questions do you want me to answer? You kept on bombarding me with tons of questions without a breath. You worry for no reason, at least, I'm here now with you. I'm fine." I replied, chuckling. I had to lie to him. How can I tell him what has transpired or still going on between Aaron and me? I can't say anything to him. Especially what has transpired between us today. I can't even say this to anyone, not to my friends. " Can you please just take me out of here? I don't feel good all of sudden." I added.That's the truth. I don't know what went wrong all of a sudden, I feel dizzy and nauseous. I fee

Sophia CensatioI can't believe this crazy man. I slowly untangle my hand from his neck and moved a little farther away from him.He stared at me and chuckled. "Why do you look surprised? You like me already, don't you? So, what's stopping you from accepting the contract?." He asked again."Stop it! Just stop it, Aaron. You know what? I'm out of here. It's of no use talking to you." I picked up my bag from the floor ready to leave his room when his voice stopped me again."Your mother, aren't you going to save her?." He asked. I didn't bother to answer him and continue to make my way out of his gorgeous room but he said again. "She only has 12 hours left. You still won't save her?." Tears suddenly stream down my cheek.Why? Why him? Why him of all people? Why do I have to encounter a man like him? Why must it be an arrogant man like him?"What exactly do you want from me?." I turned around and ask him."You. I want you to be my wife for a year, that's all. It's not serious. Your role

Sophia Censatio"Can you make me understand what you're talking about? How possible is this? How do you become the owner of my house?" He walk past me without a reply and opened one of his drawers, he bring out a file and sauntered back to where I was standing, and pass the file to me. I immediately grab it and asked. "What's this?.""Go through it first and stop asking me questions. The only one who has the right to ask you a question is me." He answered flatly.I did as I was told, went through the file and, he wasn't lying when he said he is the owner of the house. Everything belongs to him. He bought the entire building and not just the building but the whole street. He literarily owns all the houses from up to down my street. How did this happen?"But, how is this possible? How did you become my landlord without me knowing?."" That's because I do not want you to be aware of that and now, you need to move out of my house before I ask my boys to send you out forcibly. ""No! No,

Sophia CensatioThis man is crazy, I can't believe he just snatched my phone from me. "You fucker, do not try this number again" He growled in anger. "I'm warning you, John. I won't take this lightly with you. She's mine and mine alone!" I can't believe this man just claim me as his!!"Arrrgh!" I yelp out in shock the moment he smashed my phone on his bed roughly. I ran to pick up my phone before he get upset and throws both my phone and I out of his room through the window. Before I could pick up the phone, he stopped me. "Don't touch that phone." He ordered.I acted dumb and stretched my hand to pick it up but his voice stopped me again. "I said.. not to pick... up the phone." He ordered through gritted teeth."This is my phone and not yours. You can't tell me what to do with my cellphone." I hiss and rolled my eyes at him at the same time before I finally pick it up. I inspect the screen and luckily, it didn't crack.Only God knows what would have happened if it had cracked.

Sophia Censatio" Relax, I wasn't going to tell her anything but, how would she feel if she learns that we're no longer together? Do you think, she will be happy? You told me, you were doing all of these because of her and now, you're changing your mind all of sudden? Please, think about it thoroughly before making a decision. Do not make a rash decision." I said, hoping, what I just said will change his mind.He looked at me and smirked." You know, I've always thought you are different from the other girls I've met. I've met several girls but the truth is, you're all the same. Y'all are after one thing and, that's my money! Y'all are so dying for my wealth and, you're not excluded from them. You're all gold diggers!!!" He said and slapped him across his face. How dare he call me names?"How.. dare.. you! " He wanted to hit me, I have no idea but stopped. I refused to be intimidated by him again. enough of his nonsense. If, Cynthia has changed a lot about him into a negative persp

Sophia Censatio"Whatever that has to do with my mom is not silly, Aaron. She's my mother for goodness sake."" Can you just keep your mouth shut and allow me to concentrate on what I'm doing?." He hissed in a pissed tone." No, you listen to me. We're leaving this place now... Straight to the hospital and nothing is going to change that." I told him, stubbornly. I don't know if there's anything wrong somewhere. We always end up arguing at any slightest opportunity we get.He is a very stubborn man and so am I. "One more word from you and I'm going to kiss you." He threatens again."I'm no more scared of your empty threat. All you do every time is threaten me. You can do nothing, Aaron." I challenged him."Well, I think I need to get down to action so you can believe me." He tried to pull me closer to himself but I swiftly take a step back from him."Don't touch me.""Why?! You're my wife to be, remember?.""Only for a year, Aaron." I remind him in case he has forgotten. "Your word

Sophia CensatioI finally decided to give him what he requested before this crazy man frustrated my life to hell. Though I planned to only give him a peck on his cheek when all of a sudden, he turned his head, and now, my lip is placed on his.This is not our first kiss but, there's something more to this particular kiss. I feel, he was telling me something, that everything is going to be fine. I kissed him back at the same pace and when I was about to enjoy it more, he pulled away.And, did I tell you that he was looking so dashing this morning? Always looking good! He was putting on a white t-shirt and a black suit, matching with black pants. He made the dress look hotter than it looks because of his look. He matches the dress with white shoes. Then his shining silver wristwatch on his left wrist, oh my goodness! That is-Okay, that's enough Sophia- I mentally scold myself.Before we could walk out of his room, someone knock on his door from the outside. I wanted to go open the door

Sophia Censatio"How much does this entire building cost? Do you have any idea?." I turned to Bella and asked. Anyone who heard me asks this would think, I want to buy off the whole property."No, Ms. Sophia... I have no idea but I believe, this house cost a fortune. I mean, I can never afford this kinda house in my entire life. This verse here alone can buy me and my entire family.""Indeed. Seeing how everything is shining and sparkling. Most of the object in this house is pure gold, I can bet, everything is made out of gold." I said."You're right. Everything is made out of gold.""What?!!!!" I exclaimed again. "You can't be serious?!." The poor girl looked at me like I'm crazy or something. I immediately compose myself so as not to embarrass myself more."I thought, he is your boyfriend and you know everything about him." She said, confused."What?!! Boyfriend?!! Whose boy-" I hurriedly shut my mouth as I realized I'm about to spill everything out. If Aaron hears me deny him, he

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.

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
