Sold to the Cold-Hearted Billionaire: His Plus-Size Substitute Bride Molesting her
Three days later After the incident at the hospital, Ren has been keeping a long distance from Tracy, not because he doesn't want to see her again, but because he just wants her to be fine. After a long day at work, he drives to the hospital and asks about her from the doctor. This is what he has been doing after what happened. He would go to the hospital before he goes to work in the morning and after he leaves his office, to check on her secretly. He really loves her, but too bad that he can't stop being a bad person. "She will be discharged, hopefully, tomorrow," The doctor says to him before he finally leaves the hospital. Being by her side and accompanying her home later is what he would've loved so much to do, but he knows that he needs to stay away from her so she will have enough time to come around. Driving down the road, his mind keeps drifting away with many questions flooding his mind. 'He kept cheating on me' her painful voice replays in his head, and he sighs for th

Chapter 12"Let go of her," The loud music stops abruptly, followed by a cold voice that sends chills to the air for some seconds, and Ren stops abruptly, while still having Lilian trapped in between his arms. Lilian blinks his eyes repeatedly, arguing with herself about the voice she just heard. Although they haven't known each other for long, she could always recognize his voice anywhere. It's Nate's. What the hell is he doing at the bar? The thick sound of footsteps drawing close to them makes her heart beat nervously against her chest, and she gulps down nothing nervously. Still trying to register what's happening, someone suddenly pulls Ren forcefully away from her, now revealing Nate's face. He's staring at her with a blank expression on his face. "Hey, man. How dare you interrupt me? Are you out of your mind?" Ren rumbles angrily as he staggers back and forth. It's obvious that he's drunk and not thinking straight right now. "You better now touch me with that hand. You won'

Chapter 13The next day His head bangs as he opens his eyes to see the white blurry ceiling. He groans tiredly and closes them back. "You're finally awake," Leo's voice disrupts him, and he finally forces his eyes open to find himself in a familiar room, but it has been long since he was last in this room. "Are you sober now, or do you need me to pour cold water on your head?" Leo asks sarcastically, causing him to tilt his head to look at him lazily."How did I end up here?" Ren asks lazily as he touches his forehead and yawns tiredly. He finally recognizes the room to be Leo's. "How will you know how you ended up here when you kept messing around at the club yesterday? I warned you to stop drinking, but you didn't listen," Leo shakes his head in dissatisfaction. "I'm sorry if I caused any trouble for you yesterday...""I think you should save that for your mom and Tracy," Leo snaps at him and stands up to his feet. "What do you mean?" He pulls a puzzled look as he finally sits

Chapter 14Driving down the road, he keeps hitting the steering wheel as tears stream down his cheeks. Thinking about everything she said to him, he can't help the pain that shoots through his chest. It hurts that they're eventually going to end things this way. Even if he has been a jerk, he never wanted to end things with her, he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her as his woman, he wanted to keep her by his side and change for the better, for her sake. He suddenly matches on the brake, bringing the car to an abrupt halt after a loud screech as he almost ran into a truck peacefully driving down its lane. "Damn it!" He hits the steering wheel as he parks his car at the side of the road, resting his head on the headrest, and closing his eyes briefly. 'Just call off the damn engagement, and let me go, Ren. I don't love you' her words replay in his head for the umpteenth time, and he scoffs painfully, biting his bottom lip. As much as he wants to keep up with this, he knows

Chapter 15 Waking up the next morning and finding himself on his bed, he manages to sit up on the bed as he wonders how he ended up at home. The last thing he could remember was driving to the bar, and drinking himself to a stupor, the rest of it was story. He didn't recall what happened after then. Running his fingers through his hair, he sighs briefly and lay back on the bed, trying to clear his eyes that are feeling dizzy. 'Tracy' the name rings in his head, and he bites his bottom lip, trying to pretend to be fine, because what's the point of being sad, knowing that nothing is ever going to change? The door suddenly opens, and he raises his gaze to see Lilian. His countenance changes into a deep frown as soon as she walks in. "What are you doing here?" He asks, throwing his gaze away. She's the reason why Tracy finally broke up with him. Maybe this would've been avoided if she had not shown up at the club, but what makes him so happy is that someone stopped him from doing

Mr. Williams mansion Sitting on the couch in the living room, Tracy plays nervously with the tip of her fingers, while having her heart beating rapidly against her chest. She has just received a call from her dad, and he informed her that her mom would soon be here since she had to make her journey quick and come back for her after she heard that Ren is going to call off the engagement. The sound of her ringing phone pulls her attention and glancing at the screen her stomach grumbles in anger and disgust. Seeing his name displayed on the screen of the phone makes her so angry. How the hell did she suddenly hate this man so much? "Hello," His dull voice sounds through the phone as soon as she answers the call, and she rolls her eyes nervously. Although she's going to be scolded by her mom later, she doesn't regret any of her actions. She can't possibly spend the rest of her life being stuck with a cheat, right? Getting married to him will be the worst nightmare anyone can ever imag

Ren's officeSitting behind his desk in the spacious office, Ren's attention is all on the computer as he types his time away. The sound of the office telephone ringing pulls his attention from his work, and he picks up the phone without looking away from the screen of the computer. "Ren Bradford on the line. Who am I speaking with, please," He says on the phone as soon as he answers the call. "Hello, Mr. Ren. This is Mr. Mike from Bridges. Do you mind having dinner with me tonight? I would like to talk about the contract with you," the masculine voice sounds through the phone, and he sighs briefly. This is supposed to be a thing of joy for him since he has been wanting this contract for so long, but he's not in the mood for that. He just wants to be left alone, get distracted, and stop himself from thinking about Tracy that's likely to have moved on with her life now. "I'm not free, Mr. Mike. Can we make it some other time?" He sighs briefly, reclining on the chair, and rubbing h

Staying at home all day is going to be so boring for Lilian, especially as Lisa is not around to keep her company. Getting involved with the other maids in the mansion is like going on a suicide mission, and that is the last she would want to experience. Staring at the screen of her phone as she stands on the balcony, she thinks of calling Nate but decided against it on a second thought. They're not even that close, so why should she call him? Unlocking her phone, she checks out the gallery, going through the heap of pictures in it, and seeing her picture with her dad when she was still a kid, she can't help but miss the man. It has been a couple of weeks since she last saw him. How was she supposed to see him, since she now lives with Ren who wouldn't let her out of the house for some reason best known to him.Talking about Ren, she can't help but wonders why he has been acting so weird since days ago.

Chapter 89Lilian POV"Babe, are you ready?" Ren's voice sounded from outside the room before the door opened, revealing him. He was graced in a pair of black trousers and, a purple button-up shirt that had the sleeves folded up to his elbow. His hair was styled beautifully in a wavy style, and all I could say was admit that he looked cute."Why are you staring at me like that?" He asked after he walked inside the room and covered the distance between us. He pulled me close and, our bodies pressed hard against each other, and my heart fluttered. It had been two weeks since we started dating, and those days had been the best of my life so far. I couldn't pray for any life happier and sweeter than this."You look cute," I admitted, and he raised his eyebrows as he pouted his lips."Feels good to hear that from you. You look gorgeous too, my love," He smiled at me heartily as he tucked the strands of hair on my forehead, behind my ear. Furthermore, he wrapped his arms around my waist and

Chapter 88Ren stared back at her wordlessly, not knowing what to say. This was something he had waited almost all his life for, something he had always daydreamed about... The day he had wished and prayed for every time. It was finally here, and everything still felt like a dream to him."Lil...ian?" He called to be sure this wasn't a dream. Slowly, he touched his lips and blinked his eyes."I love you, Ren," Lilian said again, and this time, he pulled her into his arms and claimed her lips. It was literally their first proper kiss together, and he felt like never stopping this. The way her body made him feel, the way his heart beat rapidly, he knew that yes, this was love. He was finally experiencing love. Although he had been with women in the past and even with Tracy, none of them ever made him feel the way this lady was making him feel. None of them had ever made him so helpless the way Lilian had made him. He kissed her slowly and tenderly until they were breathless, and when he

Chapter 87Lilian POVRen had been there for me since the last two weeks that my Dad had been buried, and although the pain is still there, Ren was there to fill up the space, and denying the fact that I felt something for him now was the last thing I would do. Even if I did, deep inside me, I knew that I was just deceiving myself.We would be leaving for LA first thing tomorrow morning, and our things were ready, but deep inside me, I wasn't ready to leave this place. I still wanted to stay back here and spend some time with Ren.It was night already and Ren had not yet returned home after he left three hours earlier, and I was worried about him. For the fifth time, I dialed his number as I sat on the couch in the living room, but just like every other time that I dialed his number earlier, it never went through, and it got me scarier as many thoughts came parading my mind. What if something bad had happened to him out there? What if he got into an accident and his phone stopped work

Chapter 86 Lilian POV I waited along the hallway after Ren went to speak with the doctor about the arrangement to deposit Dad's body in the morgue. I couldn't deny the excitement I felt even amid the pain when I heard he was coming over. We hadn't talked in a week after the incident at the hotel, and since he said he was going to give up, I thought he already went back. I thought I was going to wallow in pain alone without anyone there for me, but when I realized that he was still here, I was elated. I sat on the bench in the walkway and buried my face between my palms. My eyes were dry of tears, so I just sat doing nothing. I thought my Dad was going to be fine, I thought he was going to come out strong, but I was mistaken. I sat there for thirty minutes before he finally showed up, and I stood up as soon as I smelt his familiar cologne. He walked up to me gracefully. "His body has been deposited in the morgue, and the preparation for his burial will begin shortly," "Thank you,

Chapter 85"I'm sorry, Ms Sanchez, but we lost him," Lilian froze on the spot as she stared at her dad, who had been covered with a blanket. Her head was numb for the next few minutes, unable to process everything that was happening because it wasn't all adding up no matter how much she tried to think it through. Her Dad dying? That was the last thing she would ever accept.Her heartbeat slowed down until she could barely feel it. Her body went cold, so cold that she could barely feel any part of her body. Slowly, she dragged her feet toward the bed, her body trembling fearfully. She finally stopped beside the bed, and her hand trembled as she reached for the blanket and removed it from her Dad's face, revealing the poor man's pale face."Da..." Her voice trailed off as her lips quivered. She swallowed the lump that formed in her throat. Her eyes glistened with tears and in no time they streamed down her cheeks freely.Again, she swallowed nothing and finally turned to the doctor who

Chapter 84One week laterLilian stood in front of Nate's office, her heart pounding hard against her chest. Again, she asked herself if this was what she really wanted, but after giving it thorough thought although it was a difficult decision, she knew that this was the only way out of all the mess. Turning in her resignation was the only way she could get herself out of this mess. The last one week have been filled with her brooding over what happened, and she needed to get herself out of the mess at this point.She breathed in and out, then knocked on the door and waited for him to usher her in. "Come in," Came his calm voice from inside the room. She swallowed nothing as she pushed the door open and peeped inside to see him seated behind the desktop on the desk in front of him. She finally walked in fully and counted her steps toward him."Oh, Lilian, it's you?" Nate looked from his desktop and smiled at her."Good morning," He uttered, and she just nodded, looking everywhere els

Chapter 83Ren stared at the screen of his phone, contemplating whether to call Lilian or not. As much as he didn't want to care about her or worry about her, he couldn't help but worry about how she would be feeling after what happened yesterday.His thumb trembled as he held himself back from calling to check on her, and he eventually tossed his phone on the bed. He was supposed to leave for LA this morning, but he had canceled the flight for no reason. How was he supposed to leave here when Lilian was still here? Even though he said he was going to give up, it was difficult to do."Ugh! This is crazy," He ran his fingers through his hair as he sat up on the bed. He breathed out, then stood up from the bed and dragged his feet into the bathroom where he had a long and relaxing bath, and by the time he walked back into his room, he realized he'd spent an hour and a few minutes back in the bathroom. Not that he had anything to do that morning, anyway.His phone beeped just when he was

Chapter 82Lilian POVI tossed on the bed for the umpteenth time, finding it hard to get some sleep no matter how I tried to force myself to. Staying up for the whole night was the last thing I wanted, but nothing was working out no matter how hard I forced it. How was I supposed to sleep when I just realized that I'd been a fool all along? 'I have a girlfriend' she scoffed and sat up on the bed when she recalled those words. This was all her fault, and not Nate's. She was the one who assumed he had feelings for her, but why did he give her so much hope with his actions if he never liked her?"You have no right to blame him. It was still your fault," Her subconscious mind reminded her, no matter from which angle she tried to look at it from.The long-awaited time was finally here. The next morning Lilian had been looking forward to. She could barely get a good sleep last night, and here she was, awake at 5am for no reason.'Let's meet and talk tomorrow' Just before she was getting re

No matter how much he tried to pretend that everything was fine, it wasn't just working out."Why can't I just stop loving her? Why do I have to be a pathetic loser?" He pulled over at the side of the road and slammed his hand on the steering wheel, venting out all his anger, but his heart didn't stop burning. Thinking about how obsessed Lilian is with Nate made him feel like he was losing his mind."Don't think about it. She doesn't want you, so you should fucking move on and stop brooding over her," He whispered as he rested his head on the steering wheel, but if only it could be possible to do, he wouldn't have hesitated to.His phone beeped and he checked to see that it was a text from Tracy.'Where are you, Ren? Are you safe? Why are you not answering my calls? I'm going crazy here' he tossed his phone back on the seat next to him after he read through the text that had just pop
