Substitute Bride: The Mysterious Billionaire Falls For Me Chapter 46 I'm married!
~Elena~***I woke up the next day to the news of Asher's departure. I faintly recalled him telling me about the business trip to France while he tucked me in bed last night but I was too tired to converse with him on it, and I had no idea he was today.He must have mentioned it while I drifted to sleep.I didn't think he would leave without at least saying goodbye to me, or maybe he tried to but I was still deep in sleep to hear him. He must have left pretty early.I stretched and climbed off the bed.Staring around the empty room as I prepared for school, I wondered how much time he would spend in France and the thought made me sigh.Was I missing him? Already? I shook my head at once. There is no way I'm missing him so fast. Being away from him used to be something that made me extremely happy but right now I was having mixed feelings.I was happy but there was something else I equally felt, and I wasn't ready to delve into what the feeling meant."Ma'am, your husband called while

~Elena~***It was 5 PM and school hours were over. I was more than relieved that I didn't encounter Jake throughout the session, I hoped he would understand that we could never be together again.I wasn't sure what my reaction would be if he tries to make another move at me, and I didn't want to give him the impression that I still wanted him.I didn't. The only thing I felt towards Jake now was pity. I wasn't even supposed to feel that way because of how he treated me but we had good times together too, and because of those moments, I still wished him well.I stepped out of the school building and looked around for any of Asher's cars that would have come to get me but I saw none. I found two men, dressed in black watching me from a Hyundai and they got off and approached me."Hello ma'am, it's time to go," one of them said, reaching for my bag while the other pointed towards the car.I moved away, "who are you guys?""We are here to pick you up. Your husband sent us to get you.""A

~Asher~***The doors were thrown open and I stomped into the conference hall, my face tightened into a scowl behind the mask."Did you find her?" I asked, my heart racing in my chest."Still on it," Rocco answered, before going back to urge the men who were searching for the whereabouts of my wife.When I got the information from Flynn, I had just finished a conference meeting and I didn't give it a second thought and flew back into the country.I was restless, with every second that ticked by, I could feel my heart about to tear out from my body."Why is it so fuckin slow!" I yanked, banging my fist on the desk."I think I found her!" One of the IT men spoke and I rushed to him, staring at the screen of his computer."According to a witness, a woman of that exact description was put in a ship at the Flourish Dock upstreet, she was brought in by two men. The ship leaves for England in thirty minutes.""Gather more information. Find out who is behind this," I said to them and faced Re

~Elena~***He wasn't one of them, he was my savior.Waking up in the depth of the sea to a face that I found oddly familiar, I was terrified. I thought he was one of those men who had abducted me and I feared he was going to kill me but he was leading me out of the sea and giving me breath.He was saving me. I had woken up slightly later on to see him standing above me, I was on medication while he undressed and wiped my body. The sight was hazy but I couldn't deny that I found him familiar. I could still feel the taste of his lips on mine, I was too busy driving into unconsciousness to try to figure it out but thinking about it now, I found that also familiar.As I passed out, waking up, later on, to find myself in a hospital, he was gone.I looked at my hand, feeling something on it, and I found a drip connected to it.Was I away from those men? Or did they get me later on?I was about to follow the next thought that visited my head and ran out of the room to escape when the door w

***"Mr. Walton, he's here," Asher threw his head back in his seat, staring at the door as it was thrown open for Harold to walk in."Hello, Mr. Walton," Harold walked into the office. Asher signaled to Ricky and he walked out. He offered Harold a seat."I came as soon as I received your message.""I called you here to give you a chance. A chance to change the wrath of your daughter. If I did it my way, Elena will be affected because you will be involved and I do not want that for her.""I don't understand what you mean, Mr. Walton." Harold said, a flash of confusion in his eyes.Asher picked some papers from his drawer and flung them across the table."Julia tried to kill Elena. She hired some men from a local gang to get rid of her, I have enough proof that can send her to jail for a lifetime for what she did but I do not want to put Elena into another scandal. She will be heartbroken if you get involved in it, so I'm giving you a chance to handle it."Harold's jaw dropped and his e

~Asher~***"Sir, I think we're being followed." My chauffeur alerted and my eyes rolled to the rearview mirror, true to his words there was a black Hyundai on our tail."Take the route on the left," I ordered my eyes still on the rearview, and again, the car maneuvered into our lane.I threw my head back, trying to identify the car but I caught no familiarity.I fished out my phone and alerted Drew."Drive away from them as fast as you can, we need to buy time."Soon, I received Drew's message, telling me he was behind the car.I had refused a convoy for this trip, even though I knew the amount of enemies my success had given me.I glanced at my time, another minute and I would be late for the dinner meeting. It was an official one that would officially mark off a contract that Walton had been seeking for ages with a top firm in the country. It took me only a week to get it, and I knew it would anger a lot of people. Above all, Ian. I had no doubt that he was responsible for this.He

~Ian~***"You can't go in there, mister.""I'm from the police. Move!""Mister, you can't..."I woke up to the noises and as I squinted, trying to get a view of what was happening while dealing with the hangover that hit my head, I noticed the door being forced open.My eyes went fully open to see some uniformed men making their way into the private room I was in and my bodyguard trying to stop them."Mr. Walton, we got a report, you have to follow us to the station immediately," one of the men stated while waving his ID at my face."What do you mean I have to follow you to the station? Is this some kind of prank?""No. You are involved in a murder case that was reported to us this morning, and you have to come with us to the station to tell us what you know. We have been ordered to use force if you refuse to cooperate with the investigation.""What?" I grimaced, turning to my guard. Murder case? Asher was truly dead. Those crazy guys! I warned them to ensure my name isn't let out no

~Asher~***Going home to her was all it took to lift my mood. Ian had gotten on my nerves so bad, I almost stood up to strangle him. I was tempted to end him on the spot, watching him suffer as his life slipped away by the second, the same way he treated the woman who meant the world to me.I watched Elena from the transparent door as she flipped through the pages of a book. Seeing her face was therapeutic. It works for me every time. She seemed pretty dedicated to what she was reading and I had my own issues to sort, so I didn't bother interrupting her.She was engrossed in a book about leg massages, I could see it from a diagram on the back cover. I also found her little section where she stored about five other books on the same massages. She must have used her money to get them, it was then I understood why she was always interested in handling my massages.I quietly left her and went to my desk to reply to the important emails my secretary forwarded to me. I couldn't sort them o

***"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
