As if that wasn't enough, she realizes that her sister and long-term boyfriend had also gotten engaged when she was asleep. To make it worse, they made her the substitute bride of a retard

Chapter 1

A Substitute Bride

'It's with great excitement we revealed to you that our business couple Luke Arnoult and Willa Arison have finally gotten engaged. We hope to see the happy couples get married soon...'

"What?" Gillian Arison's eyes widened in disbelief and her body shook. Her heart began to pound, and she shook her dizzy head in shock.

"Impossible. No, it can't be possible. Sister and Luke, how can?" Luke Arnoult, her boyfriend, and Willa Arison, her sister, how can they get engaged today?

It should be Gillian Arison and Luke Arnoult who got engaged. What are the reporters saying? What are they showing on the TV? What nonsense!

Gillian rubbed her eyes like crazy, and she saw that the image on the TV hadn't changed.

Willa Arison, her sister, was in an exquisite and expensive pink gown while Luke Arnoult, her boyfriend, was in a blue suit. The two people were holding their hands looking like a perfect couple.

Gillian froze, and she looked stunned; her whole figure seemed to have been dealt a huge blow.

Gillian's eyes began to dart around the room like crazy. Her steps halted upon seeing that the time was 7:23 p.m. Her pupils constricted in horror.

She had been asleep all day on her engagement day? No way!

Today was the official engagement of Gillian Arison and Luke Arnoult, Gillian's boyfriend since middle school year two. They had been in love for years, and she had been expecting today since forever but...

Gillian's eyes flashed toward her phone to pick it up. She dialed Luke's phone number, and soon he picked it up.

However, in the background were cheering noises which made her slowly come to the realization that the news report wasn't wrong. The two and their whole family had betrayed her!

Gillian's body shook and tears pooled to her eyes. So she wasn't dreaming? "Luke, what's happening? Why are you getting married to my sister? It should be you and me, ri..."

"Are you naive, or you're pretending to be, Miss Gillian Arison?" Luke sneered. "The only reason I've always been after you is to get close to Willa. Willa is the heaven, the heir and legitimate daughter of the Arison family while you're the mud, the infamous illegitimate daughter of the Arison. Why will I marry you when Willa is the perfect wife for my Arnoult family?" He taunted coldly.

"What? That can't be possible!" Gillian yelled and fell on the bed, shocked to the core by the news she had just heard.

She couldn't believe that the reason Luke had been with her was to get close to Willa. Why? Just why?

Luke had always told her that he loved her, regardless of her status or what others think or say! Before she could give a reply, the call was cut off by Luke. And by the time she'd dialed Luke's number once more, he had blocked her.

Tears streamed down Gillian's eyes, but she quickly wiped it away and dialed Willa's phone number, her body trembling.

As soon as Willa picked up the call, Gillian bellowed in anger, "Willa Arison, how can you do this? How can you be so shameless to get married to Liam? He is your brother-in-law..."

"My brother-in-law?" Willa scoffed in disdain as if she had just heard the funniest sentence. "Luke and I have been together for over two years, the family and the media could testify to it, what do you mean?" Willa calmly retorted.

Gillian's eyes widened in shock. "That. Didn't. Didn't you say it's just about the company's share? Isn't it to boost the two companies..."

"Aww, baby sister." Willa cooed. "That's why Luke is engaged to me today. To boost the company's share, my dear naive sister." Willa conveyed making Gillian pale. "If I were you, I'd use this timeframe to eat. After all, the drug will soon knock you out again."

Gillian's eyes widened in shock. "You. You drugged me?" She had been wondering how she slept on her engagement day when she had been prepared for it for the past three months.

It turns out. It must be the dinner she ate last night. Her dad and his step-wife must have known about it! No wonder they asked her to eat with them. It wasn't because they cared, and they wanted to celebrate her. No, it's because they have a wicked mission to do today.

"Yes, I drugged you." Willa interrupted indifferently. "And one more thing, my dear naive sister. The eldest daughter of the Arison family had gotten engaged to the Arnoult family, guess who's getting married to that Augustus' retard from the Albrecht family." Willa revealed wickedly.

"What? You bitch!" Gillian's eyes widened in shock. Because the Arison family was at their lowest, they sought out the Albrecht family for help.

The Albrecht family had agreed to invest 50 million dollars in the Arison corporation as long as the eldest daughter of the Arison family got married to Augustus Albrecht. And Mr Arison had agreed immediately.

Augustus Albrecht, the genius heir and the youngest billionaire in the country, was the most eligible husband in the country.

However, after a plane crash three years ago, he became a retarded handicap, giving the wealthy Albrecht family a big blow.

Gillian couldn't believe that that was the plan. To have her marry into the Albrecht family in Willa's stead. "Willa..."

"Mom, Dad. Yes, I'll be right there." Willa said to the person on the other side.

Before Gillian could say a word, the call was cruelly cut off from the other side, leaving Gillian stunned, frightened, cold, betrayed, and angry.

She felt a shiver run through her spine at her family's heartlessness toward her. She thought they would care about her at a point, but it turns out that she was worth nothing to them.

A thought suddenly flashed in her mind. That's to escape the Arison family and evade the marriage with Augustus' family.

Gillian would rather not be married than get married to Augustus Albrecht.

Willa had gotten engaged to Luke Arnoult after all Gillian's hard work, which means her father knew about it and he had no intention to stop her from getting married to Augustus.

Their plan all along was to make her a substitute!

A thought on how to solve things came to her mind. That's to escape from the marriage.

Gillian picked up her phone and hurried toward the door while staggering weakly.

She pulled the doorknob; Alas! It was locked from the outside. She had been locked by her family! Certainly, they were afraid that Gillian would ruin things!

"Open the door. Open." She banged the door and weakly enunciated while painful tears streamed down her eyes.

"Sorry, Miss Gillian. Master Arison had ordered that we shouldn't open the door. If you're hungry, you can tell us what you want, and we'll serve it to you." The bodyguards outside her room said politely, but one wouldn't fail to capture the disdain in his voice

"The maids will serve it to you. The maid will. Serve it to you."

That was the last word Gillian heard before she collapsed and blacked out immediately.

HOW CAN YOU BE INTERESTED IN YOUR BROTHER-IN-LAW?
'Escape!' Gillian's eyes widened, and she tried to spring up only to get pulled back by heavy shackles. "Ugh." She groaned in pain immediately. Gillian's eyes widened in shock, and she quickly looked around, her heart racing. She gasped upon realizing that she was in a dressing room, cuffed to the chair she was sitting on. She found out that she was being prepared by four dressing staff. Taking a look at herself, Gillian found out that she was in a white lace gown that was designed with diamonds and stone. A bitter smile appeared on Gillian's face upon realizing that she was being forced to get dressed and prepare for the wedding with Augustus. Gillian's heart tightened in pain. She understood that what the Arison family was subtly telling her was that she had to go through the wedding regardless of how she felt! Her hand fell on the white dress and her face contorted with contempt. Seeing the dress reminded Gillian of how naive she was. She thought she was

Apologize
Instantly, Gillian understood what was happening. Willa must have realized that Luke was nearby, which was the reason Willa acted out such an incredible play. Gillian's heart tightened with pain as she stared at the handsome face she had known for years. They had been so close a few days ago. They had happily talked about their future a few days ago but somehow, it felt as if they were nothing but a stranger. Now it had gotten to the point where Luke would choose to support Gillian's sister rather than Gillian, the woman he loved. A disparaging chuckle spilled past Gillian's lips. Oh, is she kidding, the two had already gotten engaged. Gillian is no longer the woman Luke loved. Rather, Willa is. Willa had always been. Willa grabbed Luke's hand and shook her head softly, her eyes pooled with tears and her lips quivered. Her delicate actions repeatedly stir sorrow into everyone's heart. “No Luke. Don't blame younger sister, it's not younger sister's fault. It's just th

I’ll Marry Him
Gillian clenched her fist and her body shook due to multiple feelings. It's the same thing every time. These were the same schemes the Arison used to prevent her from working in the Arison family; to send her abroad for two years, to... How many lists does Gillian want to count? How much humiliation had she received? "Mrs. Gillian, are you still there?" The nurse's impatient voice asked. Gillian's eyes fell on her disgrace of a father, Luke, Willa, and Kathy. She secretly clenched her fist and gritted her teeth in hatred. Gillian inwardly swore to remember today when she was forced against her will to marry a retard. When she was humiliated beyond words. Gillian promised to pay an eye for an eye in the future. From now on she had no tie with the Arison family. "Fine, I'll marry him. I'll apologize." Gillian breathed out, her body shaking. The sentence had taken her all her will before it could articulate. She couldn't help but give herself a deriding smile, she never exp

Separating From Luke
A sad smile overtook Gillian's face, her eyes moist, the corner of her mouth drawn down, and her chin trembled as she stared at the pale yet gorgeous beauty in the mirror. Limpid, beautiful big black moist eyes that are clear and bright like a web of shiny stars on a starry night, straight jet black hair that falls to the waist, a cute button nose, soft and pliable seductive plump red lips that seem to call one for a kiss. Overall, the girl in the mirror was a peerless, gorgeous beauty that could topple cities, ruin nations, and pull the heartstrings of any man. Except that the impeccable eyes currently held tears, causing anyone who saw the sight to have a tug in the deepest part of their heart. Gillian clenched her fist tight. Her pain was bare in her teary eyes. “So hilarious!” Gillian suddenly spat, the words clearly meant to taunt herself. A mocking smile surfaced on her face, and she leaned back against the counter, her shoulder trembling. Gillian had planned her who

Kneel
Immediately, all the guests glared at Gillian with hatred and disdain. Such a vile younger sister; how dare she hurt her elder sister? So what if Gillian is beautiful? She's very heartless! “Gillian, you cruel woman, when will you stop treating Willa like this? She's your older sister.” Luke chided with a bellow and made his way toward the sad and trembling Willa to hug her. Gillian laughed coldly, finding everything hilarious. Willa came forward to say a bunch of things herself; how did it become her fault? “Treat Willa how? She came here to say a bunch of things and began to sob herself. What should I do?” “Do according to Willa's order.” Luke shamelessly retorted. “You know Willa's health has always been frail, yet not only did you push her hard in the dressing room earlier, but now you make her cry…” Luke declared in anger. The crowd hissed upon hearing Luke's words, and their gaze toward Gillian became more hostile. How can this bride be so wicked? Thankfully, Gillian i

Wife Is Beautiful
Gillian’s lips parted in shock. She was so shocked that she froze for a few seconds. Apart from being famously known as retarded handicap, Augustus Albrecht was rumored to have had his face injured due to the accident, resulting in him being ugly beyond words. It was even rumored that Augustus had to go around in a mask so he wouldn't disgust people with his face. However, now that Gillian was right in front of Augustus, she really wished for nothing but to give a slap to whoever spread such crazy news. If Augustus is termed ugly, then no man can step forward to claim he is handsome. Although Luke was among the top 10 most handsome men in the country compared to Augustus, Gillian will brazenly reply that Luke is trash compared to Augustus. Gillian clenched her fist and snapped out of it. Perhaps it wasn't as bad as she took it to be. Perhaps this was the best way to break away from Arison's control. Thinking about the Arison family made Gillian gnash her teeth in h

40 minutes
The driver sleekly drove the car deeper into the city, as if he were driving the car out of the city. Soon, the car sleekly drove into the Imperial Estate, which was famously known as one of the most expensive estates. The cost of the cheapest mansion in the estate starts from 8-round figures. Inside Albrecht's mansion compound were thick green trees adorning the right and left sides of the road. Although the forest looked extremely beautiful from any view, only when one stepped into it would one realize its hoarding of so many dangerous wild animals. As the car drove down, a tranquil and clear river immediately appeared in view, but through the use of a bridge, the river was bypassed easily. A bed of flowers soon appeared in view, and the car bypassed after some minutes. After bypassing different scenes, the car sleekly drove into the mansion’s park before it came to a stop. “Young Miss Gillian, we are here.” The driver announced to Gillian as soon as the car came to

I understand
Gillian watched Augustus' driver and bodyguard help him alight the car. Upon seeing Augustus stand on his own, Gillian's eyes widened slightly. The cruel rumors that circulated in the city conveyed Augustus was an ugly and retarded handicap, but... Ever since Gillian came across Augustus, she realized that all the rumors were nonsense and that they were slandering Augustus. Upon seeing how tall Augustus was, Gillian couldn't help but bite her lower lip and blame the heavens for being unfair to a person like Augustus. He has everything; how could heaven be so cruel to take everything away from him? Gillian took a deep breath to calm her chaotic thoughts and then alighted the car. She gave Augustus an approving smile when she saw him patiently let himself be led to the mansion to get his health checked, and he also smiled in return. After alighting the car, Gillian met a fat maid in her fifties, tapping the floor impatiently, waiting for her. Seeing Gillian, the maid ga

You're Lying
‘Younger sister, how can you...’ The video that was being played on the lady's phone before Gillan stepped into the greenhouse was abruptly cut off. Hearing Willa's words that drifted from the phone speaker, the contempt in the greenhouse thickened. Gillian trembled, and her pale face became paler, understanding that the episode of her wedding had gone viral on social media. Even though she was never at fault, nobody will pay a mind to an illegitimate daughter like her after all of Willa's schemes. Gillian didn't even want to imagine how the netizens would trash her while hyping Willa on every social media platform! Gillian clenched her fist upon hearing the beautiful lady's humiliating words. Gillian had told the old maid to let her get a change of clothes because of an embarrassing situation like what had just happened. However, the old maid ended up making fun of her and even going as far as scolding her before cruelly rejecting her. Seeing the beautiful youn
