SUBSTITUTE WIFE TO THE DISABLED BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER ELEVEN
CHAPTER ELEVEN HEAVEN As I lay on the floor, I couldn't help but notice the look on Adrian's face. It was a mix of irritation, confusion, and utter bewilderment. His eyes scanned the room, taking in the bright yellow walls, the matching bed sheets, and the LED lights that pulsed with an otherworldly energy. I fought the urge to smile, to laugh at the absurdity of it all. But I managed to keep a straight face, intrigued by Adrian's reaction.Adrian's gaze snapped back to mine, his eyes narrowing. "What is the meaning of this?" he demanded, his voice low and menacing.I shrugged, nonchalant. "I painted our room."Adrian's face darkened. "Who gave you the right to do this?" he spat.I sat up, my eyes locking onto his. "It's my room too, Adrian. We're married, we live together. I can do what I like. Moreover…"Adrian's jaw clenched, his fists balling at his sides. "Moreover?" he bit out.I smiled sweetly. "Moreover, the colors here were too dark. The black and grey were making me feel u

ADRIANAs I stepped out of the bedroom, I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that settled in the pit of my stomach. What had just happened? I felt like I was watching myself from outside my body, wondering why I was acting like a monster.That's not me. That's not the person I am. I'm not some caveman who forces himself on his wife. But then, what was I just doing? Why did I lose control like that?I couldn't make sense of it. One minute, I was arguing with Heaven, and the next, I was...I don't even know what I was doing. It was like something took over me, something primal and raw.I made my way to the garage, my feet carrying me on autopilot. I got into my car and sat there, taking deep breaths, trying to calm myself down. My heart was racing, and my mind was reeling.What must Heaven be thinking right now? Would she even want me near her? I wouldn't blame her if she didn't.I sat there for a long time, just breathing, trying to calm myself down, trying to make sense of it all

ADRIAN.I didn't realise I had called her unconsciously. I just knew in that moment I didn't want Heaven to leave.But saying we needed to talk? What about?I knew it would be better for me to face the music while I still could but in all honesty I just wish I could forget any of this ever happened tonight.It's bad enough that I hate myself.“We need to talk, Heaven.” I said it again.She froze, her fingers gripping the door handle as though it were the only thing keeping her steady. The dim light from the hallway illuminated her face, highlighting the wariness in her eyes.She was afraid of me.The realization hit like a punch to the gut. I know I haven't treated her in the most homely way since she got here but I never intended to make her feel unsafe.I took a careful step forward, but she immediately tensed, her entire body recoiling as if expecting me to lash out. That hurt more than I could put into words."Heaven..." My voice was softer this time, but she still didn't turn ar

JUSTIN. I watched Heaven have breakfast with my brother, I observed how he treated her. Heaven deserved better and I was that better person that she deserves.She doesn't look my way though, try as I might she has not been able to acknowledge me in that light.I am better than my brother, I don't have an erectile dysfunction, according to my father I am the next in line in business.You know, when we look at it I have a lot more to offer her than Adrian does. But she's bluntly refusing me.She struggles for his attention with Diana and all she gets is hurt. Repetitive hurt.I decide to follow Heaven today again and try to speak to her about leaving Adrian for me.As I approached the threshold of the kitchen, she pushed up from her barstool making me halt my movements.I watch as she takes a bowl of fruits with her and some yoghurt and she silently walks back to her room sad again.I immediately follow her but I don't say anything just yet.Just when she enters her room and is about

ADRIAN. My knuckles throbbed, blood dripping onto the pristine white carpet, but I barely noticed the pain. All I saw was Justin, sprawled beneath me, his once-smug face swollen and bruised from my fists. He groaned, trying to sit up, but I shoved him back down. I stood over him, fists clenched, every fiber of my being screaming at me to hit him again. “How dare you,” I seethed, chest heaving. “You think you can just walk into my wife’s room, and take what isn’t yours?” Justin coughed, spitting out blood. His lips twisted into a smirk despite the damage I’d done. “Take?” he rasped. “I didn’t take anything, Adrian. She wasn’t exactly fighting me off.” A fresh wave of fury surged through me. I raised my fist again, but Heaven’s voice stopped me. “Adrian, stop!” I turned, meeting her wide, tear-filled eyes. She had scrambled to her feet, hands trembling. “I swear, it’s not what you think,” she pleaded. “Justin just—” “I don’t want to hear it.” My voice was cold, my heartbeat a t

CHAPTER 16.DIANA. I looked at the information I had just received.My mind played it all like a flashback and it brought a sly smile to my lips.Thank God I had that clash with Vivian. It got me in such a frenzy that I created a scene at Adrian's office today.But it doesn't matter because I'm very sure he'd forgive me after he finds out what kind of information I had attained on his behalf.I had just left my favourite hair and nail salon when I bumped into some lady on the street. I wasn’t paying attention.My mind was still buzzing from everything that had happened today—Vivian’s nonsense and the scene I made at Adrian’s office. I had it out for a couple of his staff members but I knew I'd have my way eventually.It was only a matter of time, Adrian always does what I want. I was still savoring the thought of how things would play out when I turned the corner and bam—walked straight into someone.The impact wasn’t hard, but it was enough to jolt me out of my thoughts.

HEAVEN.The ambience at the restaurant had me captivated.Adrian had stood up to go place a call and I assumed it to be a business call, or at the very least Diana.It's not like I hate Diana no, it's just that I wish she would not create so many problems in my marriage.For one, I know she used to be Adrian's girlfriend before we got married, and I know she can't get pregnant either I mean if she could Adrian would have married her instead of me.Also, if there's one thing I'm certain about it's that she hates me with every fiber of her being.She sees me as an enemy trying to steal her man.Newsflash though, I'm married to him. I think about everything that's been going on and it's honestly a lot.I'm glad Adrian believes me though because I don't know how I would've lived with myself if he thought I could cheat on him with his brother.In his house too.I think we might be making progress in this relationship after all, it finally feels like he's letting me in even if it's just by

JUSTIN.I had come out of my room to refill my water jug when I bumped into Adrian in the kitchen.Although I hated him for the scars and bruises he inflicted upon me, I knew I still had the upper hand with our father.I had no idea what their beef was about but it obviously dates back to something very old and deep. Sometimes I wonder if it has to do with Adrian's mother.But it's not my place to pry, besides everything was working in my favour so I wouldn't be the one to repair their broken relationship at my detriment.It wouldn't be very wise.I could never forgive Adrian for beating me up though, I needed to find a way to put him in his place.He might still be a part of the company but I was always going to be above him.“I'll get you Adrian. This isn't the last you'll see of me.”I said to him, vengeance a hot boil in my stomach.This was far from over.I stormed out of the kitchen almost at the same time he left, and headed straight for the den.I wasn't ready to go back to m

HEAVEN.I waited for Adrian to come back from the office and it felt like time became slower with each hour that passed.I busied myself doing random mundane things, I cleaned and dusted the furniture in the room, I reorganized the bookshelf by alphabet and then I reorganized it by genre again.I went to the kitchen to see if there was anything I could help the chef with but I was told not to worry.I picked a bowl and took fresh fruits from the fridge and then I went back to the room to wait.Finally, it was evening and then ever so slowly it trickled into the night and that was when Adrian came back.As soon as I heard his car pull in, I felt all happy and jittery. I fluffed my hair and checked my lipgloss again feeling like I was sixteen.Adrian came straight up to the room after exchanging a couple of grunts in greetings with whoever it was he passed on his way in.“Welcome home”, I said, moving to hug him.He planted a firm kiss on my forehead asking me how my day went.I recount

HEAVEN.I had just enjoyed what could be termed the best day of my life so far.After everything bad that's been happening in my life it felt like I had finally breathed, or the earth had decided to open clear skies for me.Giddy with excitement, I was able to sit through dinner trying to restrain my sunshine to just a little night light inside of me but I was sure the entire family could feel the bubbles on my skin.It didn't bother me much though, as long as nobody popped my bubble I had no reason to relate with them.I've always felt safer when silent, besides it's not like I was their favourite or anything.Once again, Justin's mother tried to initiate a conversation.“When are you getting married Justin?” She had asked.Justin found it a rather impromptu shocking question and had to cough out his meal before he choked on it.“Mother, I am not interested in marriage right now.” He said.I noticed his wounds had patched up well and he was almost back to looking like his old self.H

ADRIAN.The sun was setting, and for the first time in years, I actually stopped to watch it.Not from an office window. Not in passing as I rushed to my next meeting.I was just here. Watching.The sky stretched above me, a perfect blend of fire and dusk. The colors bled into each other, shifting from gold to crimson to deep violet, like a slow-burning ember. The river mirrored the sky’s transformation, the water moving lazily beneath the fading light.I exhaled, letting the warm air settle over me.This day had been… unexpected.I hadn’t planned on leaving the office early. I hadn’t planned on wandering through old streets, stepping into antique shops, or stopping to admire art. And I certainly hadn’t planned on sitting here, watching the sunset thinking about her.But here I was.For some reason I couldn't get Heaven out of my mind even when I tried. Everything reminded me of her.I held the locket I had gotten from the antique shop into the sunset and it shimmered as the departing

HEAVEN.And where are you off to today?” Adrian's step mother asked me, a sneer in her tone.I knew she was itching for an argument but I was determined to have my peaceful day.“I don't know yet, maybe walk around and feel the breeze” I replied.She grunted “you should be more useful”I ignored her remark and continued eating my breakfast, once I was done I cleared my plates and left the house.I felt entirely better the moment I felt the breeze in my hair.Today was going to be a great day for me whether I liked it or not.I walked with no real destination, letting the city guide me wherever it pleased. The old part of town always felt like a different world—a place where time stretched and folded, where the past and present blended together.The cobblestone streets were uneven beneath my feet, worn down by years of footsteps, of stories passing through. Little cafés with ivy climbing up their walls lined the sidewalks, their wooden tables filled with people sipping coffee, laughing
