SUBSTITUTE BRIDE: My Cold Billionaire Husband. Chapter 50
Aria’s P.o.vI didn't understand why Vaughn wouldn't let me be about what happened in the room I stayed in. I wondered why he cared and I wasn't even interested in knowing anymore because I knew that subsequently, he would go back to his act of avoiding me and treating me like I was invisible.“Stop walking away when I'm speaking to you.” He stopped on the stairs and hissed again. Vivian and Mrs Slade were in the parlor and I didn't know why Vaughn decided to cause a scene in their presence. It was clear to me that he didn't like being ignored but he could do it to me privately.I stood still after what he said, then he walked up to me and took my hand. He dragged me under the stairs and into a smaller room underneath. I never knew there was a room under the stairs.We got into the room and he locked the doors behind us. “Tell me, did he touch you?” Vaughn forced me to sit on a chair. It looked old-fashioned but I knew it was very expensive to get such old household furniture. The c

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

Aria p.o.vMom and I sat in the living room, trying to come up with glimpse of hope as we contacted everyone she knew. Her friends, colleagues at work, but no one had heard from her. I even tried reaching her through all her social media accounts, hoping to convince her to come back home. But no way, it’s as if she just disappeared from the face of the earth. Dad came home later that evening from work, looking frazzled and worried. He must have had a hard time trying to solve this.“Any news?” He asked, his eyes scanning the room as if hoping to see Sophia sitting there. He must have had his fair share of searching for her through his influence.But knowing it a hard tad to look for someone that doesn’t want to be seen, he must have exhausted all this means to look for her. She had left her phone and credit cards behind, making it a lot harder to track her.“Nothing.” Mom said shaking her head sadly, “We’ve tried calling all her friends but no one has heard from her.”“Some of them

Aria p.o.v“Oh honey, who is he?” Was mom that asked, I haven’t told her that I have a boyfriend. Was planning to tell her after Sophia’s wedding.“Liam, Liam Edward.” Dad beat me to it replying to mom’s question. “I know about your little cheating boyfriend.” Dad smirking thinking his words would get to me.Liam wouldn’t cheat on me, he’s loved me too much to do some. But dad won’t agree as he’s too desperate for me to marry someone else.“And oh, I know he’s Vaughn’s nephew, so you have to end what it is that is going on between you two.” Dad said with a smug look.Yes, Liam is Vaughn nephew, but we’ve already started dating before the marriage proposal arose for Sophia and Vaughn a week ago. I’m definitely not going to breakup with my boyfriend, just to get married to his uncle.How would that make me look to the world.“I won’t do it. I’m going to talk to Liam now.” I yelled at my dad’s retreating back.I stormed out of the house, ignoring mom’s pleas for me to calm down. She shou

Aria p.o.vI didn’t actually notice how I had find my way to this park, after I drove away from Liam’s house. Here, I am sitting on a bench on top of a hill, overlooking the rest of the park. Cool breeze blowing past me, doing a great job at helping me calm down.I didn’t know how long I’ve been here, occupied with Liam’s betrayal. How had I been so blind to this? How could he callously throw away our tel, our trust, and our love? I asked myself.Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes as I thought about all the times he had been so distant, all the times he had made excuses for how he couldn’t see me. I had thought it was just because he was busy, but now I realized it was because he was busy with Rachel.I’d been so blind, so trusting. And now, I feel like a fool.I felt a wave of emotion hits me, and I started to cry. The tears I’d been holding back finally broke free, streaming down my face as I sobbed uncontrollably.I cried for what felt like hours, letting out all the buildup em

Aria p.o.vI arrived at home, I wasn’t too stunned by the scene before. It wasn’t unusual to see cars in front of our house, as dad sometimes have his business partners over. But I was stunned by the giant men in all black suit standing in front of our house, guiding the front door with an equally intimidating black glasses on. Hand behind their backs and staring straight ahead.As I stepped out of my car, the giant men in black suits turned to face me, their expressions unreadable behind their sunglasses. I felt a shiver run down my spine as they scrutinized me, their gazes lingering on me for a moment before they nodded curtly and returned to their posts.I took a deep breath and made my way towards the front door, my heart pounding in my chest. What was going on? Why were they guarding our house? Is he trying to imprison us in our own home?As I entered the house, I was immediately struck by the tense atmosphere. My parents were seated in the living room, their faces pale and wor

Aria p.o.vI was a living example of nervousness, if anything I was seconds of passing out. The news of my marriage to Vaughn has been the talk of the town within twenty-four hours.How it managed to get to the news channels, I have no clue. All I know is that yesterday when I woke up, the news has spread like wildfire. The only good thing was that my face, nor even a shadow portrait of me was not published.Vaughn Slade is getting married to a woman named, Aria Julian. That was the headline for every news channel possible.I don’t know if I’m doing the right thing, but I know I’m not only protecting my mom but also getting my revenge.Liam has been on my back with calls and texts, claiming we needs to talk. Well, there’s nothing left for us to talk about, him and his new girlfriend has said a lot that day. He even went as far as saying we’re still together, why would I be getting married to someone else. And that too to his uncle.Oh now, we are still together? How come I didn’t kno

Aria's p.o.vI felt invisible as I stood beside Vaughn Slade, who was unbelievably my husband. I received several handshakes and irrelevant jokes from business tycoons I had only seen on the news and my wedding felt surreal. I began to feel as though I didn’t belong there and one of the influential women I met, Charlotte Gaspar, made it worse as she approached me with a disgusted look.Charlotte is the founder of a large designer brand worldwide, SPRUCE. I heard she and Vaughn had been dating unofficially for nine years. She had a cold demeanor as she approached. It seemed as though she was walking toward me but she stopped a few steps before she got close enough. She gazed at me and turned to Vaughn.“Vaughn baby, congratulations my love.” She wore a wide smile on her face and gave him a warm embrace with her hands hanging around his neck. “You look as edible as always.” She held a wine in her hand that kept swinging as though it was going to spill from the glass because she wasn’t h

Aria’s P.o.v“Liam! Leave me the fuck alone!” I was tired of the fact that he wouldn’t just grow up and think of how he would be a good man. Maybe he thought I was as dumb as he was and I would believe his lies. “I do not love you anymore and this is not a place to throw your words around like you’re unmannered. If Vaughn finds out about this, forget it, you’re gone”Liam scoffed. “Look Vaughn is not the one you’re supposed to marry and he isn’t interested in you as well. Can’t you see it in the way he treats you? This wedding is just for a short period and when that period is over, he will leave you with nothing.”The reality that what Liam said might be true hit me because I had not read the terms and conditions on which I got married to Vaughn. My mum and dad did and they summarized it to me. They told me I had nothing to worry about but what if it was true that I had limited time to spend with Vaughn? I paced around in the room and began to think about what Liam had said and I kn

Aria's P.o.vSandra gazed at me like I had asked her to do something that seemed impossible to her. She walked over to the chair that was in the room and sat on it slowly. “You want me to find your sister? But she might not even be in this country.”I walked over to her and stood in front of her. “If she is no longer in this country, it's fine by me but if she is still here, I need to know where she is. I feel like there are many things I'm supposed to be looking for answers to and until I begin to make moves to find them, I will never find them.”I knew that was going to be a hard task for Sandra but I felt she could still do something about it and it could lead me somewhere. If my sister was truly in my city or the country, then maybe she knew some answers to my questions.From that moment, I wondered why my sister chose to run away in the first place. I knew she was a strong person, even stronger than I was, so there was no way she just ran away because of Vaughn's history of bein

Aria's P.o.v.I opened one of the cupboards and took out the file from a bag that was hidden at the edge, inside the cupboard. Sandra had told me the specific place she kept it in for me.I took out the file from the bag and began to flip through the pages of the file. I could see several pictures of Vaughn and Rachel, but more than just seeing Vaughn and Rachel, I noticed that Liam was also in almost all the pictures. It was then and there that I knew that Liam was not just an outsider who maybe stumbled on something that was as going on between Vaughn and Rachel as I had thought but the three of them were working together on something.I couldn't believe that I had truly behaved irrationally because I knew I had heard Liam's voice but I didn't know why I just felt something was going on with Vaughn and Rachel alone. I didn't even think about what Liam had said that night when I saw them, my mind was just fixed on the hate I had for Rachel and my insecurities with Vaughn.I knew I ha

Aria's P.o.vThe following morning, I woke up and walked out of my room to see Rachel and her bags in front of her room as she was speaking with Vaughn.I had had a rethink over the night about how I spoke to her and I was planning to apologize to her, then I saw the both of them talking in front of the room where she stayed.“What exactly is going on between those two?” I began to question myself. I hated how close they were seeing and I knew anything that could make the both of them that close to one another could not be for a good reason even though Rachel was pretending to be a changed person.“Good morning, Vaughn.” I walked over to them and greeted Vaughn, who did not think it was necessary to answer my greetings. Then I turned to Rachel and stretched forth my arms to her for a handshake. “I know I was a little too much last night. I didn't have to speak to you that way and I wasn't intending to. Take care of yourself and please stay away from my husband from now.” I wore a smil

Aria's P.o.vI heard whispers as I looked over the stairs to see who it was. I wondered why of all places Liam and Rachel could choose to be promiscuous, they chose under the stairs.I walked down the stairs gently because I didn't want them to know that someone was approaching them so I could see whatever it was that they were doing.“I don't want Aria finding out about any of this. I need you both to be as discreet as possible. Can you do that for me?” I had not seen them but I had gotten down and I was very close to where they stood. I knew without a doubt that the person's voice I had heard was Vaughn's. My heart shook because I heard Rachel's voice also as she whispered. Several thoughts ran through my mind and I wondered if Rachel had finally gotten a way to break into Vaughn's and I’s relationship. I couldn't believe she could go as far as hurt me even in my matrimonial home. That felt too much for me to bear. I stood for a while like a raging lion. My hands shivered and I he

Aria's P.o.vI felt like I was drowning as I sat on my bed and wailed. I didn't think I deserved to be treated as badly as Vaughn was treating me. I wished how I felt within me didn't matter so much to me.I had buried my face into my hands as I wailed. I didn't notice when Mrs Slade walked into the room until I felt a presence around me and finally, her hand wrapped over my shoulders. She squeezed me in and I didn't know why she liked me so much because she was always kind to me.“Don't cry about this. You know whatever Vaughn is saying shouldn't get to you anymore at this stage. You really shouldn't have brought up this matter with him, you know he has a lot on his mind and he behaved just as expected. Maybe you could have used a different approach to get your message across to him.”I raised my head and looked at her. I thought she was supposed to be on my side. I wondered why she was supporting Vaughn's terrible behavior.“I know you have a lot to say from within and there's proba

Aria's P.o.vLiam was not pleased with how Mrs Slade yelled at him. I wasn't sure the both of them had a good relationship between themselves. Mrs Slade always complained about whatever he did.“Grandma!” Liam said intentionally to Mrs Slade to piss her off. “Can't I speak to a friend of mine who was forced to become your son's wife anymore?”Liam was rude to Mrs Slade and she didn't take it well with him either. I for one wasn't interested in anything that was going on between them so I stood up and walked my way out of them.“Aria Darling, where are you going to?” Mrs Slade turned to me. I had hoped that she wouldn't see me as I walked off because I just wanted to be away from them and all the drama that their family caused me. I was more bothered about Vaughn not being home by that time. I didn't think thought whatever fight was going on between them or cared about who was right or wrong.“I just want to lie in bed. My head aches. I think it must be the noise from last night.” I he

Aria's P.o.vI could not stop myself as I was all out to make sure that I gave Vaughn the best head he had received. He pushed off my head after his cock got so thick and he pushed me onto the bed.I opened my thigh for him and my heart raced faster. I couldn't breathe with my mouth any longer, I opened my mouth as I waited for him to dig into me. Vaughn got to the bed and rolled me to be on top of him so I could initiate the dig myself. I was so excited but I didn't have the time to jubilate so I slowly sat on his dick and it slid into me in a painful sweet manner. I loved it. I could feel it fully in unlike whenever he was the one on me.He held on to my boobs rubbing them and then he placed his hands on my butt when I began to do in faster. Drops of sweat from my body filled his already wet skin and it began to make a flap sound.“Harder, faster…” Vaughn said in an audible murmur and I rolled on his dick then began to grind faster. I felt as though I was having the best experience
