Sold to the Cold-Hearted Billionaire: His Plus-Size Substitute Bride What have you done to me?
Chapter 49 Ren POV 'Let's start all over again' those words have been ringing in my head since I got home, and I can't even bring myself to get some sleep, because how the heck am I supposed to sleep? Yes, I'm excited that we are going to be together, but fuck it! She's not even happy with it. She was forced by her mom, and even if I want to refuse this, I can't, because she's going to suffer it. Then came the thoughts of Lilian. It seems to me that I'm starting to develop feelings for her, but how can I love someone like that? She's chubby and a bit ugly, or maybe I'm the one seeing her like that. I don't even know what to do or think anymore. Pushing all the thoughts to the back of my mind, I finally decide to get some sleep and wake up early to get the house especially ready tomorrow, since Tracy will be moving in. I have no idea how long I'd been asleep, but the sound of my ringing phone pulls me out of my deep slumber, and I toss on the bed as I lazily reach out for it, befo

Chapter 50 Ren POV It's finally daybreak, and I have an appointment at the office, but I don't feel like going there now. "Aren't you going to the office?" Rena asks as we both sit side by side along the hallway, and I glance at her. "No, I'm not," I reply to her, and she slowly nods her head. "You've been overly nice to Lilian lately. Have you fallen for her? Do you love her now?" She inquires, and I glance at her. "Don't even think of lying to me. It's written all over you. You needed to see how worried you looked when she passed out. Aww! My brother is in love," She whines, and I roll my eyes. I guess it's obvious, and I can't deny it anymore. "What should I do, Rena?" I ask her, and she pulls a puzzled look. "About what?" She inquires, and I sigh briefly. About everything. What should I do about Tracy, Lilian, about my messed up life? I'm confused, honestly. "Nothing. Never mind," I reply to her, and she sighs briefly. "If you want to talk about anything, I will be here

Chapter 51 Nate POV Since I don't have any other choice, I made up my mind to accept mom's offer, and I would have to travel to Texas and maybe stay there forever because there was no way she would let me away once I get there. 'I accept your offer, mom. I will relocate to Texas in one month, can you unfreeze my account now?' Those are the words that were so hard to spill out, but I eventually did, because I wanted to help my friend. I can't watch her continue to live like this in pain or let her get entangled with the man again. 'No, I am not patient enough to give you one month. You have three days to come here, and if you agree, I will unfreeze your account right away' she had said to me, and I didn't have any other choice but to accept her proposal. It's almost evening, and my bags are already packed up since I will be leaving this place first thing tomorrow morning. Staring at my credit hand, I sigh briefly before I reach out to the small gift bag standing on the bedside ta

Chapter 52 Lilian POV Next dayWaking up this morning and sighting the bag Nate brought for me yesterday, the realization dawn on me that I haven't checked it yet. A smile laces up my lips as I stand up sluggishly from the chair where I slept uncomfortably all through the night, and once I lay my hand on the bag, I walk back to sit in the chair. My body hurts a lot because I couldn't sleep comfortably since I had to watch over my dad that is still like a dead man. I just pray and hope things don't end up badly that he would lose his life. I won't be able to take the pain. Inside the bag, is a credit card, a small flower, and a piece of paper. "Why did he send me this?" I blink my eyes and mutter as I stare at the card confusingly, but I toss it back inside the bag and reach for the piece of folded paper, and once I open it, the content of it makes me freeze on the chair. 'Lilian... By the time you are reading this, I must've gone far away from your reach then,

Chapter 53 Ren POV The last one week Lilian has been away felt boring for me. She has literally been living rent-free in my head as I keep seeing her everywhere I go. At this point, I won't deny it anymore that I fell in love with her, although I have no idea how it happened. Tracy has been living with me, but it feels like I'm alone here. I have tried my best to avoid her so she won't think that I'm trying to take advantage of her or something, and I no longer feel like having anything with any other woman as the only person I can think of now, is Lilian. I don't know what she did to me, but it doesn't really matter what she did, what matters is that she already swept me off my feet. It's a beautiful Monday morning, but none of my days ever felt beautiful since she left, so it's just like every other day for me. I got a secretary to assist me in the meantime before she comes back, although I'm not feeling quite comfortable around the secretary since I'm not used to h

Chapter 54 Tracy POV Ren seems to have changed from the way he used to be, and I have been feeling weird around him. The past few days I have spent with him have changed my decision of leaving him. Yes, I know this is crazy to suddenly want someone I cast away, but I can't help it. At first, I wanted to just marry him for the sake of my mom, but now, that is no longer my intention. I want to marry him for real now, even though it sounds crazy. Sitting in the restaurant and waiting for Tyler since I called him earlier to meet me here, many thoughts came rushing through my mind, which is not limited to Ren. "Did I keep you waiting?" Tyler's voice pulls me back to reality, and I snap my head up to see him already sitting in front of me, staring at me with the usual expression on his face. "No, you didn't," I shake my head, and he nods his head too. "It has been a while. How have you been faring in that man's house? It has been quite hard, isn't it?" He sighs d

Chapter 55 Three months later Lilian POVThe last three months have been really difficult for me, but what can I do? Nothing, actually. I have only talked with Ren over the phone, and I Wonder how he is doing over there. You must be wondering if I've heard from Nate, but the truth is, I haven't really heard from him. And guess what! I have been going to the gym often, taking some medications, and eating the prescribed food for weight loss, and I can't believe that I can ever lose a few pounds like this. Staring at my reflection in the mirror, I smile excitedly at the progress I've made. I didn't only come here to take care of my dad, but my journey here has transformed me almost into that slim girl I've always wanted to be, and I can't really wait to be slim. I am not doing this for anyone, nor was it for the sake of people that kept bullying me, but I'm doing this for my own sake, and my health. The sound of my ringing pulls my attention, and I tilt my head to see tha

Chapter 56 Ren POV I touch my lip for the umpteenth time and smile excitedly like a teenager that just had his first kiss with his crush. I didn't know what came over me, but the only thing I could think of when I saw her was to kiss her, because I have really missed her so much. The last three months without her by my side have been the worst days of my life, and when I couldn't take it anymore, I had to put everything on hold and travel down here to see her, but I couldn't have told her about it, yeah? Still lost in thoughts, my phone suddenly starts ringing and I quickly answer it when I see that it's from Rhea. "Hey, brother," Her sweet voice sounds through the phone, and I smile as I lay on the bed, staring up at the ceiling. I wouldn't have taken this bold step if not for Rhea that made me realize that I really want Lilian. She told me to go for her, and when I told her that I wanted to come here, she motivated me and gave me every reason to do this. 'Mak

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

Chapter 81Ren drove the road, his eyes vision blurred by the tears that brimmed in his eyes. It hurt! 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
