Substitute Bride: The Mysterious Billionaire Falls For Me Chapter 53 His first love.
~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~***I returned to my room hours later to find Elena idly staring out the window. She had her arms wrapped around herself and I heard her sigh from time to time.My eyes moved to the clock and I realized it was a few minutes to midnight. I had expected to find her asleep, it was why I moved in quietly."Why are you not sleeping?" I asked and she jerked before turningg to me.She was lost in thought. It made me wonder what was bothering her."Are you okay?""Yes," she responded quickly and closed the Windows, stepping away from it."What were you thinking about?""Nothing.""Liar. Are you having a hard time in school? You can stop-"No, Asher. We already discussed this, I have only a year left. School is fine, and I'm fine too. I just couldn't sleep."The was a switch in her tone, and I could instantly tell that there was something bothering her.Was it the picture? I hoped not."I'm going to bed now," she said and walked past me. I tilted my head to find her heading to the door

~Asher~***"Shit!" I cursed under my breath, throwing another ball of paper into the bin. It's been two hours already and I haven't written a proper proposal.If I hadn't dismissed my secretary, I would have had her take care of it. This was an important writing but I could hardly input five lines. I keep messing it up!It was my umpteenth try but still yielded the same result. Why does she keep popping in my head?I knew I would suffer these consequences the moment I pinned her on me but I didn't expect it to affect me this much.I was a monster, there was no denying this. She should have known and not provoked me. I didn't regret what I did one bit as it was the only way I believed I could make her stay, the look on her face was the only thing I regretted. I hated the tears and the fire that burned in her eyes when she stared at me from the floor after I was done.It was her fault for not realizing how much of a monster I was. I never should have met her, her life would probably ha

~Elena~***"Congratulations ma'am. We should celebrate this when the young master returns," Flynn suggested as we walked down the hall."It's not that big of a deal you know. Besides Asher has better things to do, don't make a suggestion like that to him. It could piss him off.""I understand, but you won a trophy. I think it's a bigger deal than you're making it sound, you worked hard on that project. I can vouch for it. I would have been pissed if anyone had gotten it in your place," he confessed."Well, thank you, Flynn." I dismissed him when I got to the room. He was making a big deal about it. True, I worked hard like every other time and they earned me a couple of trophies in the past, from the dean, but no one ever celebrated me.Aside from the reflection of that achievement on my grades, Julia made sure I kept quiet about it to Harold.According to her, telling him would be stealing her spotlight. She had minions in the school that would tail me and report every one of my lit

~Elena~***We arrived at the suburb of a city and Asher held my hand as we moved forward, a few bodyguards walking behind us."Why are we here?" I asked him."You'll find out," he smiled at me, squeezing my palm lightly in his.In a few seconds, we stood in front of a mansion painted in shades of pink. It was like a castle with a very large swimming pool. It also had a running fountain and the floors shone like the sea was underneath it."What is this place?" I asked in awe."I'll show you."We got into the building and that was when I realized that the entire walls were painted in pink and shades of pink, most of the decor had the color too. The living room was wide and spacious, everything in it screamed wealth but I still wondered why Asher brought me here.I faced him and saw a file being passed to him by his guard, he opened it and handed it to me.Quizzically, I took it and stared into it. After a moment, my face twitched as I read through the paperwork.I turned to Asher, conf

***Ian. The name made Asher's blood boil with anger. He was the only one who was this audacious to forcibly trespass his territory.At this point, Asher realized that he had given Ian too many chances, and they probably gave him the idea that he couldn't fight back. He was an unrepentant scum and henceforth, Asher wasn't going to sit back and warn him any longer.This proved to him how far Ian aimed to go just to get rid of him. He should have expected it since he took away from him the one thing that he loved unconditionally.Asher would never have imagined that his intention to surprise Elena could turn into a nightmare that might leave a memorable scar in her mind. He was supposed to be killing her bad memories, not giving her more.Ian chose the wrong day to get on his nerves. He had seen the effect of the first attack on Elena, but he let Ian go with a warning, knowing that he would soon take away the one thing he loved most in the world.But Ian didn't seem like he was backing

~Elena~***Three days had passed since the incident and Asher was still lying in bed unconscious. All through, I stayed by his side and took care of him.The only thing that gave me hope was knowing he was alive and breathing, even though I looked forward to the day he would open his eyes.The surgery was successful but his back was still covered with stitches and healing scars that needed to dry up. Thankfully, the fire hadn't destroyed any of his vital organs but he suffered extreme pain. I could only imagine what it felt like and it left me with more guilt.I opened my eyes when I felt a soft touch and tilted my head upwards to find Asher waking up. He appeared to be stuck in a dream and struggling with the Oblivion to gain consciousness. His lips started to move and I could hear him breathing from his mouth."Asher? Can you hear me, Asher? " I immediately sat up, touching him lightly. I sprang to my feet and rushed to the door to get the doctor when I heard him speak."Don't go."

~Elena~***I took some days off from school to look after Asher, after his discharge from the hospital. He was recovering well and I was able to convince him to spend more days at home, resting.I was relieved when he agreed, because I knew fully well he would have discarded his condition and jumped back to work the minute he got discharged.On an afternoon, two days after our return, I was in the kitchen preparing Asher's meal, while he slept when a maid called my attention."Your mother is here, ma'am. She is causing a scene outside, requesting to see you."Janet. She was the only person I ever called Mom, even though it only earned me insults and abuses. Not wanting to get Asher involved in whatever reason she came for, I chose to see her alone.At the entrance, Janet was struggling with the guards to force her way in and while they held her back, they also tried to be gentle and not return her aggressiveness."Allow her," I said. They left her upon my order, and she huffed before

***"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."

~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
