Substitute Bride: The Mysterious Billionaire Falls For Me Chapter 34 I'm not the person you want.
~Elena~***Wheeling Asher towards the elevator, the door slid open and Ian stepped out of it. He first lowered his gaze to smirk at Asher before turning to me, his eyes darkening as he ran them through my body.If they could emit fire, his gaze would have burnt my outfit to bits. He smacked his lips, staring at me with lust-filled eyes."Hi Julia," he spoke thickly, "you look gorgeous as always.""Let's go," I started to wheel Asher into the elevator when he stopped me."Wait," he said. "I should say hi to my older brother.""Cut the crap, Asher," Ian barely let him finish. "I'm gazing at the definition of beauty, a sharp opposite of what you are.""She's my wife-"Do you really see her as your wife?" Ian questioned, "Because I don't see you with her in public? You don't bring her with you to business meetings or functions as your date. You hire escorts instead, every damn time. How is she your wife if you are afraid to show her to the public?""Afraid?""Yes," Ian grinned, "I get it

~Asher~***I watched as my grandfather spoke in anger, wagging his finger from time to time at Elena who was already shuddering beside me with fear."I can't believe Harold would fool us like this!" He bellowed, "She must leave this minute. I will make sure to get to the root of this and they will regret ever doing this to us!"I turned to Elena, whispering, "Wait for me in my room."As though waiting for that opportunity all her life, she tore her grip off me and dashed out of the room."Leave it to me, I will make sure the Rogers pay what they did.""No, Grandpa," I stopped him. "I will handle it.""Asher-"I am the one directly involved in this, I was the one who was fooled and got married to a substitute so let me handle it."Grandpa looked skeptical, "are you sure?""Yes. Please leave it all to me," I added.After a heavy sigh, he nodded. "Fine. You're the one who got used to her anyways, will you be okay though?""I will be fine. Don't worry about me.""I just can't think of a

~Ian~***Darting my gaze from the bartender who was busy mixing my drink, I shot it towards the door that had just slid open to reveal Julia. My eyes stayed glued to the five inches heels cladding her feet as she walked towards me elegantly, I slowly upped my gaze to her face where a wide smile was displayed on her thin lips. She was incredibly alluring, and it didn't look like anything changed about her so far.I recalled when it used to drive me crazy, how I couldn't get enough of those lips. She was dressed in a red strapless dress that barely touched her knees and pushed out her curves. Unlike Elena, she needed an effort to bring out her natural figure.Staring at her now, all I could think of was Elena. The fact that they lived together all along and I only just got to know about her adopted sister left me with uncertainty.Knowing they were related, I couldn't look at her whole without picturing Elena. They were two completely different people, their physical appearance wasn't

***The birthday banquet almost went as Ian envisioned, it would have pleased him greatly if Grandpa Schaeffer's speech didn't come with such an ending.The elites and most influential in the city graced the occasion, including major staff and shareholders in the Waltons. Just as Ian wanted, everyone talked about the presidency, inquiring from Schaeffer when he planned to announce the new president. They urged him to make the announcement soon as they itched to know who would be in charge of the conglomerate."Tell us who the new president is," one of the biggest shareholders started."Let us know who we will be meeting directly for major business proposals and deals.""That's right. I mean it's obvious who the new president will be but you have the final say and we are all itching to hear it," another agreed.Asher's face was a blank expression while Ian bore a smile."Ian has been doing quite a great job so far running the group in your brief absence, I think we can trust him for th

~Asher~***A week had passed since Elena's discussion with her father and every moment we spent together since then, affirmed that I didn't mishear her words. Lately, she had been submissive, too submissive, and wouldn't question my demand like she usually does.If I didn't know what her decision was, I would have misunderstood the actions for something else, but now I knew that she was doing all that she can to get me to walk again so she could leave. She was doing her best to get away from me as soon as possible.If only she knew how bent I was on preventing that.Her warm hands on my legs, as always, made me hard in my pants. She was massaging them with the skill she learnt online and I couldn't deny that it was effective. Even though my legs were fine, they felt even better with her touch.Maybe it was her, and not the skill.Her back was at me so I let my gaze stroll down her body, my lips pressed as I watched her massage me with so much focus. Just seeing that made me mad becau

~Asher~***I stood at the door, my tears unceasing as I watched Rocco try to stop Asher's bleeding. Asher was quickly losing consciousness and could barely speak but Rocco kept talking to him to keep him awake.I couldn't stop my body from shuddering, everything that happened in the last one hour was enough to mess with my mind. Watching Asher lose so much blood was a picture I was certain would remain stuck in my senses for a long time."Asher, look at me..." Rocco's voice resounded, and my body shook more when he barely responded.In the next second, the door was pushed open and a middle-aged man rushed in."Mark, over here!" Rocco called his attention.When Mark opened the box he came with, I realized he was the doctor Rocco has been waiting for."We have to get the bullet out first, I think it hit a bone." The doctor said after a few minutes of examination.Rocco nodded and he got to work instantly. Turning back and noticing me, Rocco led me out of the room. He helped me sit in t

~Elena~***A week had passed since the incident and Asher was recovering fast. I was seated beside him on the bed, his hands on my thigh while the doctor changed the covering.When he was done, he faced us."This will be the last one, after this the next focus will be getting rid of the scar," he said. "Also, his legs are recovering well, he will be able to stand on his own soon and pretty much walk later on.""That's great news," I smiled, "thank you so much.""Can you leave us for a moment, honey?" Asher asked, squeezing my thigh one last time before taking his hand off."Sure," I stood up and walked out of the room.I stood outside the door, straining my ears for whenever Asher would call me back. As I began pacing, I couldn't help but recall the doctor's words.Soon, Asher would be able to walk again and I will be out of his life when that happens. What would happen then? I planned to move somewhere far and start my life again, I had thought everything out but Asher. I never thou

***Two days after their return from France, Grandpa Schaeffer announced an impromptu meeting with the board of directors of Walton's to announce the new president. It happened to also be Asher's resumption day at the company since the fire incident."Hold on," Elena crouched and fixed his tie properly, before turning to Flynn who nodded in approval.She smiled, turning back to Asher who was staring at her with affection in his eyes."You look perfect, young master," Flynn complimented."In a wheelchair?" Asher arched a brow at him."No, I meant the outfit," Flynn composed."I know." Asher turned to Elena as though seeking her permission and she nodded. "Leave us."Flynn bowed lowly and walked out. Asher wrapped his arms around Elena's waist and pulled her in between his legs. For a minute, they kissed and when they pulled away Elena stayed locked in even when he released her."Are you nervous?" She asked, straightening his already straightened tux."Why should I be?""About the presi

Substitute Bride: The Mysterious Billionaire Falls For Me Chapter 100 A good Father for his babies.
***"Asher!" Grandpa Schaeffer exclaimed before pulling Asher in for a close hug. "Hey there, Elena," he passed her a slight smile.Elena accepted it, concluding that it was preferable to the other times when he completely ignored her presence.His eyes dropped to her stomach, and she watched his smile grow. He was fond of doing that, but wouldn't openly admit how he couldn't wait to hold his great grandkids in his arms."The babies are doing okay?" He asked, his smile dying as he brought his eyes up to her."They're fine," Elena smiled widely. Asher chuckled at his grandfather's effort to appear mean to Elena. He knew that he hadn't fully forgiven her for lying to them but he also knew that Schaeffer didn't hate her. Even before he found out about Elena's secret, he liked her a lot and praised her for taking care of his disabled son.This was their last get-together before Asher departed for his surgery. At the table, Ian's mother was already seated, looking like she wanted to be any
Substitute Bride: The Mysterious Billionaire Falls For Me Chapter 99 Good-byes.
~Elena~***Her house was an apartment, with a simple bathroom and an ensuite. In her living room, a corner was demarcated with drapery as her kitchenette and another as her bedroom.In the room was a small unmade bed, and her sitting room, which was the largest part of the house, had a small TV, a radio, a fridge, and two sofas.Her eyes were on me right from the moment we walked in.Harold was already by her side and I saw how sick she was. Unnaturally, she looked lean. Staring at her, one could instantly tell that she used to be a chubby woman. She wore a cap and leaned on Harold's shoulder, but I could see that she didn't have any hair on her head. Her eyebrows were very thin, almost without any hair and her eyes looked tired even though she wore a smile. A beautiful smile."Elena," that was her first word to me and I noticed the similarity in our voices. She was a beautiful woman and I had physically taken after her. Asher's arm was around me, proving to me that he was always by
Substitute Bride: The Mysterious Billionaire Falls For Me Chapter 98 The truth.
~Elena~***"You cheat!" I hit Asher in the chest, pouting my lips, "that's not fair."He giggled, reaching to peck me but I covered his lips with my palm, rejecting his kisses."That was the best one!" I complained, staring into the empty cookie bowl with a frown, "you're so childish.""Now, you're mad over a cookie?" He asked, holding my hands."You promised you'd give it to me, but you ate it. I can't forgive you," my hormones kicked in and I felt tears gathering in my eyes.That was my greatest defense and Asher immediately opened his fist to reveal the cookie. "I didn't eat it, I was just messing with you. Please don't cry." He looked utterly concerned. "I'm sorry, I was only kidding." He cupped my face, wiping my eyes.I threw the cookie into my mouth and pecked his face. "Got you.""You sneaky woman!" He grumbled, and we ended up laughing. His fingers worked on my legs, giving me the best massage while he called a maid to get us more cookies."By the way, Grandpa wants us to co
Substitute Bride: The Mysterious Billionaire Falls For Me Chapter 97 No more misunderstanding.
~Asher~***Over the next few months, Elena stayed by my side, doing her best to take care of me until I fully recovered. Our relationship had developed over time and in every aspect, and I was elated about it.Now, I could hold Elena without being afraid of the spite in her eyes when I looked at them, and she would assist me whenever I got tired due to my bedridden state. It was blissful. It was all I ever looked forward to since our misunderstanding.Elena had stepped out of my study room, leaving me and the gang to discuss. It was the first time we were having a meeting in my house, and they all had to come looking ordinary to avoid suspicions. It was also the first time we were collectively meeting since my discharge from the hospital."What did you find out?" I asked Ricky."D.H Entertainment exists but it belongs to Penelope's family. It's their biggest investment. She lied about the ownership, and acted like her job was at stake so she could get preferential treatment from you.
Substitute Bride: The Mysterious Billionaire Falls For Me Chapter 96 A genuine second chance.
~Asher~***"Asher, can you see me?"I felt a light tug and then the voice came again, jerking me fully to consciousness."Oh my goodness, Asher! You're awake!" Footsteps followed.I recognized the face after a full minute of staring blankly at it, it was my grandfather."Grandpa," I mumbled and his face softened into a warm smile."That's right, son. It's me," he nodded, sobbing. "I'm so glad you're awake."I rolled my eyes, looking amongst the other people in the room for her but she was not there. I blinked and then tried again but I couldn't find her.I was sure that I saved her, I wouldn't have been able to go without ensuring her safety first. It was unlike me.Did I imagine it? I frowned the thought off. I definitely got her out!"Where is Elena?" I asked, bringing my gaze to rest on my grandfather. I asked him again when he said nothing."She's alive, right? I saved her. I'm sure that I saved her.""You did. She is alive." Richard spoke."Son, don't worry about her right now."
Substitute Bride: The Mysterious Billionaire Falls For Me Chapter 95 Jeremy.
~Elena~***I stood outside the ICU ward where Asher was kept, staring at him through the window with tubes connected all over his body. I could faintly hear the sound of beeping machines.He looked so fragile and pale, not like the domineering and omnipotent Asher I knew that had overpowered me a number of times. He looked different, almost lifeless. The only source of life I saw in him was the many stuff connected to his body, the fact that they were still functioning proved that Asher was still in there fighting for his life.A pang of sorrow slashed my heart. Again, he sacrificed himself to save me. He discarded his own life to ensure I kept mine.If this was the first time it was happening, I probably would have concluded that he did it to save his baby's life, but it wasn't. I've never seen anyone care more about someone else's life than theirs, and I've never heard of anyone who performed such an act of kindness to someone they didn't care about.Can a man like that, who has ri
Substitute Bride: The Mysterious Billionaire Falls For Me Chapter 94 A casualty.
~Elena~**I sped towards the airport, my determination and anger soaring. Asher's action this time was inexcusable. How could he betray me with Julia knowing fully well what I thought of her?Even though I meant nothing to him, my sanity matters for his child to be safe. How could I successfully take care of our child, if my mental health wasn't guaranteed? This wasn't about me, but the child.Repeatedly, I dabbed tears from my eyes and sniffed but I didn't bother stopping or slowing down.Soon, I recognized Asher's car speeding up behind me. I expected this but there was no way he was going to convince me. My mind was made up this time and except Asher was willing to explain to the world how mentally disturbed he was, and how he locked me up in a dungeon, or how he ceased my freedom, he better not try to stop me.His car was giving me a hot chase and although I wasn't a very experienced driver, I tried to outrun him. I swerved in between cars and gave him no chance to directly get t
Substitute Bride: The Mysterious Billionaire Falls For Me Chapter 93 No stopping her.
~Julia's POV~***His hands groped my waist as he pressed the upper part of my body into the bed, I arched my back for his comfort. I felt his thigh against my behind as he slid into me again, jerking me up to deepen his entrance. He grunted and paced up at the same time, riding me with a slow then successive pace.His fingers dug into the skin of my waist as he prepared to release, his body vibrating against mine.I smirked as the pleasure wavered off, glancing at the camera I had installed in the corner of the room unbeknownst to him. Ian was too carried away with the pleasure to even notice what I had done and I doubt he would have even suspected that I could do something like this.I just couldn't let Elena be. I've got to try out all my cards first before I decide if I should give up, trying to destroy her marriage, or not. I had thought the fabricated pictures were enough to break her and Asher up or cause a deep rift but instead, she came out pregnant.They had been fuckin whil
Substitute Bride: The Mysterious Billionaire Falls For Me Chapter 92 Opening up to her.
~Elena~***I opened my eyes to a bright light shining on my face. A few blinks fixed my discomfort and soon I adjusted to the ray of sunshine seeping from the opened window.I looked around the white room I was in and soon realized that I was in a hospital ward. The last place I remembered being in was in Asher's horrifying dungeon and the last sound I remembered was the sound of my scream as the door clicked shut and Asher stomped away.I tried to think of what happened after when the door went open and Flynn walked in."Thank goodness you're awake, ma'am," he said, looking relieved. "I was just about to contact the young master.""What happened?" I asked."I didn't know, we found you unconscious and brought you to the hospital. Thankfully, it's nothing serious."After Asher left, I suddenly felt nauseous being locked up in his dungeon. I couldn't help but wonder if he had locked anyone else in there in the past. The thought was horrifying. Was he always this kind of person?I wonde
