Sold to the Cold-Hearted Billionaire: His Plus-Size Substitute Bride Need to change her wardrobe
Her heart was filled with excitement as the cab drives her home. At least, she's finally going to be leaving the house for work even if it's just for q short moment. Arriving at the front of the gate later, she hops out of the car and pays the man, but turning around to head to the building, she stops abruptly when she spots Nate standing with his hands tucked into his pockets. She hasn't stopped to think about what happened yesterday. How he's suddenly now her neighbor is what she hasn't brought herself to digest. "I have been calling you, but you didn't answer your phone. Where did you go?" He asks once she stops in front of him. "I went out. Why did you call me?" She asks, and he shrugs. "Well, I wanted us to hang out together, and maybe go shopping. It has been a while since I last shopped, and you know, I just moved in here, and I still need to get some things," He explains to her, and she slowly nods her head. "So, in summary, you're asking me to go to the mall with you to

"Hey! What the fuck was that? You're the one that likes pigs, I don't...""Say that again, man, and you'll spend the rest of your life regretting it," Nate cuts the man off, balling his fist as if he's going to fight him. Maybe it'll still result in that, but it's not yet decided. "So what? What the fuck will you do if I do that?" The man snarls angrily, pulling his girlfriend behind him, and facing Nate, ready to fight. "If you're blind to settle for this ugly thing, you shouldn't complain when people talk...""And you think you're any better than her? Do you think your girlfriend is better than her?" Nate yells angrily, gritting his teeth afterward. "Nate, you don't have to fight him. He's right, after all. I am ugly...""Look what my boyfriend was saying. She just fucking admitted it, what's with you? If you're going to be so embarrassed by her, then you shouldn't be hanging around with her in public," The young lady chips in, rolling her eyes. "For how long are you going to ke

Chapter 23Her heart beats rapidly against her chest as she stares at the building in front of her. She has just arrived at the restaurant where the dinner appointment is supposed to hold. 'What if she goes in there, and gets bullied again as usual? Will she be able to handle it? What if they don't want to see her because they feel like she's ugly?' She thinks to herself. As much as she wants to turn back because she feels she can't do this, on second thought, she knows she has to do this if she wants to earn a living for herself. It's her first job opportunity and letting her insecurity make her lose it is the last thing on her mind. "You have to accept whatever you see in there," She whispers to herself, then takes a deep breath before she walks elegantly toward the entrance door. Although she's fat, she's still smart enough to walk elegantly. She struggles with her heels as she walks into the spacious and classy restaurant, enduring the excruciating pain she's feeling in her fee

Chapter 24"What is going on here?" Kira slams her hands on the table, getting their attention. "What is the meaning of this, Kira? What the hell are you doing here?" He asks calmly, not sparing her a glance. "I should be asking you that, Nate. What the hell are you doing here with this thing?" She sneers angrily, glaring hard at Lilian, who turns her face away. "We are here for...""And when did I give you the right to meddle in my affairs, Kira?" He cuts Lilian off, finally turning his gaze to glare hard at Kira. "I have every right to question you, Nate. What the fuck are you doing with this thing?" She sneers again, and he scoffs. "Can you gently leave here this minute, and don't cause a scene here? You wouldn't like to get on my bad side, Kira," He says, trying so hard to control the anger that is rushing through his vein. "And what if I create a scene, Nate? What will you do? Beat me? For fuck sake, I just caught you with another woman, how the fuck am I not supposed to cr

Chapter 25Three days later... The sound of the blaring alarm pulls Lilian out of her deep slumber, and she groans tiredly as she tosses on the bed. It's finally Monday, the day she's supposed to start work at Bradford's company. Standing up from the bed sluggishly, she drags herself to the bathroom and slams the door close as soon as she walks inside. Staring at her reflection in the mirror after she washed her face, she sighs deeply. Yes, she's resuming work today in the company she has always been dreaming about, but she's not feeling too happy about it. The thought of the insults she may receive later is already discouraging her, but she knows that she has to do this. She really needs this job, and now that she got the opportunity, she should be happy, right? "Don't think about it, Lilian. Just stay focused," She mutters to herself, before she strips out of her clothes, and hits the shower to have her bath. Taking forever in the bathroom, she finally walks back into her room

Chapter 25An awkward silence assumes the air as she stands in his office, staring down at her feet while fondling with her nails. Her heart beats rapidly against her chest, scared of raising her gaze, for the fear of looking into his deadly eyes. "What was that about, Lilian?" His cold voice sounds through her ears, and she feels her heartbeat stops for some seconds. How could she have said those words not minding that he might hear her? She just wanted to make herself feel good back there, and get on those bastards' nerves, she never knew it'd get her into a big mess. "I'm sorry, Sir," She whispers, although he heard her very well. "You're sorry? What the hell were you thinking? When the hell did I tell you that I got married to you? The fact that you acted as my substitute bride that day, doesn't give you the right to tell people that you are my wife!" He slams his hands on the table angrily as he springs up to his feet, and she flinches fearfully. Now, she regrets saying those

Chapter 26"Just stop it, Ren!" Angry, she yells at the top of her voice before she can control it. Of course, she knows that she just made a mistake, but she can't take this anymore. Not when he's bullying her again. "Did you just talk back at me?" He blinks his eyes, puzzled. Where the hell is the audacity coming from right now? "I'm talking to you, Lilian. Did you just fucking yell at me?" He yell at her this time, making sure to scare the gut out of her, and she gulps down nothing nervously as she takes a step away from him, having a terrified expression on her face. Now, she regrets her action. She doesn't have the nerve to stand up and defend herself, even if she so much wants to do it. She's scared of everything. "Re... Ren... Don't touch me... Don't come close to me," She stutters nervously, stepping away from him as he take a step toward her. Her heart beats rapidly against her chest like it's going to force its way out of her anytime soon. She gulps down another lump as s

Chapter 27Lilian Bradford"Ren, are you okay?" I call his attention when I find him staring at my chest, and I quickly cover myself with my two hands. I was so scared when he sent for me that I didn't even have the time to wear something else since I was already wearing my lingerie and was about to go to bed. "Ye... Yes..." I watch as he quickly turns his face away, and I sigh briefly. "Uhm... I will go prepare your bath water now," I say to him before I hurry into the bathroom and slams the door lightly behind me. I crash against the wall as soon as I walk in, and release the breath I have been holding unknowingly. My heart beats rapidly against my chest as I hurry up with mixing his bath water, and when I'm done, I finally step out into his room. My heart freezes in my chest when I walk into the room and find him standing on his feet, wearing just briefs, revealing his broad chest and his sexy abs. Forgive me, but I can't deny that he's good-looking with those abs. It's

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
