Two days before her wedding, my elder sister, Sophia, vanished into thin air, leaving behind a cryptic note. She was supposed to marry the most influential man in the country, Mr. Vaughn Slade - a man rumored to be old, ugly, and disfigured. The whispers were that no woman wanted to marry him, and now my parents were demanding that I replace Sophia as his bride. I was horrified. Not only was I already in a loving relationship with my boyfriend, Julian, but I also knew that Vaughn Slade had specifically chosen Sophia. Desperate for help, I turned to Julian, who happened to be Vaughn Slade's nephew. But what I found was shocking - Julian in bed with my cousin, Rachel. My world was shattered.

SUBSTITUTE BRIDE: My Cold Billionaire Husband. Chapter 40
Aria’s P.o.vVaughn's hands were soft as I placed mine on his and walked with him to the center of the dance floor. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to look him in the eyes and do those beautiful looks that a princess and a prince do when they fall in love. I knew that wasn't one of those kinds of moments but I wanted to feel something special. It was my first ball party and I was the center of attraction. I just thought it would only be nice if I got to act like I was living a Disney princess life.Vaughn made eye contact with me and gazed at me like he had never seen me before. I could see his eyes as they gleamed and he moved slowly to the side to get a better gaze at me. He moved two inches closer to me and back, with our hands joined together and serving as the string that attached us together.I could see that he wanted me but I was so uncertain about what was written in his eyes. I mean, this was Vaughn, he switches whenever he likes and might never notice me any longer.Vaughn

Aria’s P.o.v“Oh goodness! Aria! You look exceptional. I love your dress.” Mrs Slade walked up to me with her arms open wide as she shoved me into herself and hugged me tight. “You are perfect for tonight’s ball. I was wondering what was taking you all so long which was why I decided to come check for myself but what I found, I can’t even believe my eyes.” She turned to the team and Sandra, “You guys are the best! You’ve done a great job.”Mrs Slade held my hand and led me out of the room with her. I was a bit anxious as I walked out of the room with her because I didn’t know how Vaughn would react when he saw me. I wished deeply that I could attract his attention with my looks. Vaughn’s admiration was the highlight to me. I just wanted him to say something to me that would let me know that he saw me and acknowledged me.As we got to the beginning of the stairs, Mrs Slade called the attention of the crowd by hitting a spoon on the glass cup filled with wine that she had taken from on

Aria’s P.o.vSandra gazed at me and I could see that she was regretting her decision ahead of the consequences that could arise. “I don’t think this is a good idea but sure, I will see what I can get for you.” She smiled and walked away.I knew she was going to get me what I needed. Instead of going into my room I walked down the stairs and went to get a wine to drink. I felt happy that I was going to uncover their secrets as well. Vaughn was seated at the bar hut outside. I walked over to the table and asked for a Champagne. Vaughn and the bar guy looked at themselves, then, the bar guy went to get me what I requested.“I didn’t know that there was something we were celebrating other than the ball party. Would you like to share the reason for the celebration?”The bar guy brought me the champagne and poured me a glass. “Thank you… You can pour a glass for Vaughn too. He is the reason for the celebration.”Vaughn seemed surprised by the way I acted boldly in his presence. He looked

Aria’s P.o.vRachel’s response made me suspicious of why she was present and what exactly it was that Vaughn was all about that time around.“I know a lot is going on and I don’t think it will be of any importance for me to know anyway.” I tried to pretend to Rachel so she wouldn’t know that I was aware of the odd things that went on in the Slade family. I didn’t think she was any important to know much anyway.“I’m not angry at you. You made it easier for me to give in to this decision. You can see that Liam is always going to be an asshole now too, right?” I smirked because I knew that the both of them were no longer together and I had not seen them talk to each other since they came.I had not seen Rachel as calm as she was. It felt absurd that she wasn’t showing her shenanigans like she does. I knew there was something odd going on but I didn’t want to make it obvious to them. I decided I was going to find out what it must be that brought them all together.Rachel wore a smile tha

Aria’s P.o.v“I know we all have different perceptions about Vaughn. I must say that even I had such a negative perception about him. I think I still find him scary to an extent but I must say that he is a very nice and warm person also. Since I have been in this house as his wife, he has not inflicted directly any physical pain on me. He has cared for me as a man and I’m grateful for that. I know he is always busy and I would wish for more time with him but I think he tries with his tight schedules to be present, especially by keeping his eyes close to the camera.”They all laughed when I said that.“But on a more serious note, I don’t think I have seen someone as tough and loving as Vaughn. He blends well between both and I know that if he had the choice to be just loving, he would without a doubt do so but as it were, life demands both from him and he does it well. Thank you.”They erupted into clapping, including Sandra who stood in the corner as she smiled and nodded. “Gosh, I w

Aria’s P.o.vI could not believe that Liam thought he could bye me off with cheap words. I was so pissed by the manner he was trying to use to persuade me to leave Vaughn for him. By every means, Vaughn was better to be with than to be with him.“I don’t think you understand the gravity of what you are doing. If you do, you will never think to look at me in the face again, talk more of trying to persuade me to run away with you.” I laughed at Liam’s stupidity. I really couldn’t just believe that he thought I had not learned enough lessons from him. The disappointment on his face was priceless. I could see he had not expected me to want to stay back with Vaughn. Liam does not like it when he requests something from someone and he is rejected so he keeps pressing further.“Okay, I know you’re angry at me. I’m the reason why you decided to get married to him but we both know you’re not happy here. I know you more than the facade of joy displayed on your face. I know you don’t like it he

Aria’s P.o.vI raised my eyes up to see who it was who not only walked in late but had an irrelevant way of walking that caught our attention. It was Rachel, my cousin.“Rachel? This cannot be a good day. What on earth is she doing here?” I said to myself internally. I was offended to see her and the moment I laid my eyes on her, everything about her disgusted me.Rachel was the last person I expected to see that day. She was in no way family with The Slade’s and I thought she and Liam had ended their dirty relationship. It wasn’t even as though they made the relationship between them public so I still couldn’t grasp the reason why she was present.“Ah, Rachel…” Vaughn smiled and greeted her warmly as she walked in. I was shocked to know that they knew themselves. “I have been expecting you. I thought you were going to arrive later than this when I did not see you walk in with Liam.”Rachel gazed at me like she expected me to greet her or something. I had gotten up and punched her in

Aria’s P.o.vI gazed at Vaughn for a while before I decided to take the drug from him. I knew what I meant to him at that point and it made me feel so pained. I took the water, threw the drug into my mouth, and gulped the water down with it without making any complaints, then I laid back on the bed.Vaughn ignored my cold behavior and went on to do whatever he needed to do that night but I slept off.The following morning, I woke up to a loud music playing outside. I didn’t know where in particular the sound was coming from but I knew it was inside the house.As I tried to get up, I felt my head spin like I was going to fall. I normally don’t feel that way before so I wondered what must be the cause of why I felt my head spinning then I remembered I had taken a drug that I did not even know the name of.I went to the bathroom, brushed my teeth, and had my bath. Then I wore a lovely gown and went down out to see what celebration or party was going on.The first face I saw as I walked d

Aria’s P.o.vI had goosebumps all over my hand and neck as Vaughn tried to have his way. I was supposed to stop him but I just couldn’t because I wanted it more than I didn’t want it. My body could not resist how hot Vaughn was so I let him have his way.Vaughn took me and turned the shower on to cleanse the soap off my body. As the water flowed down my skin, he massaged my body with his hand and it made me feel so calm. He pulled me close to himself and began to kiss me passionately. His lips were soft and juicy in my mouth. He began to kiss every part of my body, my face, my neck, and back to my lips. I didn’t know how we were going to do it while the water was raining on us but I knew since Vaughn was in charge, he would find a way around that.I kept enjoying the sweet romance that Vaughn decided to let me get to see. Then, he raised me from my thigh, with my back resting on the wall. He turned off the water with his left hand and placed his head on my boobs. More than that I coul

Chapter 1
Aria p.o.vI wasn't ready for the drastic change, but life was and didn't give a second thought when turning my life a 360 degree turn.I was in my dorm room, reviewing the project I have to submit in a week time. When I received a phone call from my mother, her voice trembling with a mix of panic and urgency. "Aria, dear, you need to come home immediately," she said, without even a hello.I went into panic mode, my mom is a joyful soul and there are few these that could make her to panic. I felt a shiver run down my spine at the possibility of what could be wrong.Is Dad sick? "What's happened, Mom?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady."It's Sophia," she replied, her voice cracking. I frowned confused."What about her." Sophia is my elder sister, we are quite close to each other. She's easily my best friend since I could talk. "She's gone."I felt like I'd been punched in the gut. Sophia, was supposed to get married tomorrow to Vaughn Slade, a wealthy and influential busines...
