Substitute Wife for the Mafia King Monopolizing Me
It would also be a matter of time until Desmond summoned me to help him out. Everyone was itching to know about my relationship with the new king and I was sure that Desmond was silent for now all for the sake of building up the anticipation. When everyone is curious and everyone goes crazy about gossip related to us, we would appear in public to debut our rekindled romantic relationship.“I'm exhausted…” I complained as I threw my handbag down onto the sofa before collapsing on it. Bradon shrugged off his suit and loosened his tie before sitting down next to me. He turned to offer me a smile before he began patting my back as if to console me. “If next week's schedule looks anything like this, it's going to end up killing me,” I complained bitterly. I hoped that Bradon would take my warning seriously and work out our schedule with Anthony's team. There was no way that we could be that busy with events, given that Anthony had work to do at the company as well and I also knew that B
Substitute Wife for the Mafia King Separated
Although most of the events dragged on into the night, fortunately there was a day when the event ended early in the evening. Based on our agreement, that meant that there should be no issue if I were to take off right after the end of that event. When I told Desmond about my free schedule, he had no issues in finding an evening celebration event for the two of us to make our public appearance together.“I thought that this was supposed to be some sort of event that we needed to attend together?” I asked as I felt slightly upset and betrayed. “This is a special dinner date. I don't think that it's wrong to call this an event or unusual for this to appear in our calendars,” Bradon replied casually.The event that was supposed to end early in the evening that was placed in our calendars turned out to be a private dinner between Bradon and myself and nothing more.“Listen, we've been spending all our waking hours together already attending all those planned events. Don't you think that
Substitute Wife for the Mafia King Making It Public
“I better get out here and get this over with,” I mumbled to myself before currently adding lipstick to my lips. I had to say that I looked beyond presentable and there was no doubt that my first public appearance with Desmond was going to be a huge hit.“Wow! You look amazing in the dress. Honestly, you've managed to exceed my expectations,” Desmond said as his eyes swept over my body from head to toe. I turned a little from side to side as I glanced down at the dress that I had on, while his intense gaze did not bother me at the least. “Do you think so? I have no idea why this dress has to be so revealing,” I commented as I patted my hands Softly on my boobs. “I think you look gorgeous. I hope you don't mind showing off your assets a little,” Desmond replied playfully before letting out a soft laugh. “I guess putting on a little show to grab extra attention isn't going to kill me or anyone…, " I agreed with him without much care. I couldn't quite tell him that the dress didn't
Substitute Wife for the Mafia King Awaiting My Return
I don't know, you look quite tired, he said as he kept on Staring at my face. “I'm fine. How many times do I have to tell you this?” I said with a mocking tone of annoyance. Desmond probably didn't want to get on my bad side, so he decided to take my word for what it is before escorting me to the car....I hadn't realized just how tired I was until I was alone in the car on my way back to Bradon's mansion. It felt like I closed my eyes momentarily, but when I opened them again the car was already parked right in front of the mansion. My body felt slightly heavy and sluggish from sleep, but the short nap that I had in the car definitely made me feel better. I must have been so tired that I fell asleep in the car without even realizing it. I walked into the mansion while taking extra care not to trip over the high heels that I had on with the intent of heading directly to my bedroom to catch up on some sleep.I felt my body tremble slightly when I walked into the mansion because it f
Substitute Wife for the Mafia King Tempting Fire
I could no longer hold myself back and ended up letting out a moan when he twirled my erected nipple between his fingertips. Thoughts of electric pleasure run through my chest before running down to the throbbing ache in between my legs as he continued squeezing and tugging on my sensitive nipple. My pussy spasmed as I felt my core heat up so rapidly. As if it was not yet enough, Bradon buried his face into the side of my neck before taking in deep breaths as if he was taking in my scent. I let out another moan when I felt the heat of his lips against my sensitive skin as he planted kisses along the side of my neck. He finally freed his other arm from around my body just so that his other hand could join in on feasting on my breasts. Both his hands dipped easily beneath my clothes to squeeze my breasts at the same time as his lips began sucking softly on my neck. Everything that he was doing to me overwhelmed my body with pleasure, and everywhere that he was touching and kissing me t
Substitute Wife for the Mafia King Black Out
It seemed like my lack of rest and all the work that I had been doing up until that point was quickly catching up to me. “Dahlia…” I heard him whisper my name.When I opened my eyes again, my vision was blurry and it felt like I was seeing double. I frowned as I wondered what was happening to me. Bradon called my name again but his voice seemed so far away and so soft. I couldn't bring myself to answer him as my eyelids felt so heavy and then everything blacked out from my vision.…**Bradon's point of view**“Dahlia! Dahlia! Dahlia!” I called her name as I cradled her limp body in my arms, but no matter how many times I called her name, Dahlia never opened her eyes. I cursed myself for not realizing that there was something wrong with her or that she was feeling unwell. The sense of regret that sprouted in my chest reminded me that I probably couldn’t forgive myself if something were to happen to her.After Dahlia suddenly fainted, I drove her to the hospital after evaluating that
Substitute Wife for the Mafia King Painful Guilt
“She is still sleeping, and I suggest that she takes some time to recover here in the hospital. We may need to run checks on her afterwards because this might also be a result of stress or some other underlying condition,” the doctor said before showing me a small smile of reassurance.“Thank you,” I replied softly.The doctor nodded at me before walking off. Then one of the nurses approached me to explain that Dahlia would be moved to her private room.…I made sure that Delia got the best hospital room as if it would somehow lighten my sense of guilt. I wanted her to wake up in a comfortable room, where natural light shone in from the window. I wanted her to be able to see the view of the garden when she looked down from the window because I had no idea how long she needed to stay in the hospital for. Although I didn't like the idea of Dahlia spending time outside of the mansion, I would prefer for her to fully recover before making her return.I looked down at Dahlia's face as she
Substitute Wife for the Mafia King My Caretaker
**Dahlia's Point of View**I felt like I have been drifting randomly from one place to another, guided by the wind. My body felt weightless, as if it lacked substance and all that was active was my mind. It felt like I had just lived through a very long and complicated dream. I saw many people in my dreams, starting off with my sister, and then Anthony from way back in the past, and then my thoughts settled on Bradon. I saw his face so clearly, but when he came closer, I couldn't hear what he was saying. He looked very apologetic, as if he was guilty about committing some kind of serious crime, and I thought to myself that there was no way that the Bradon that I knew could have that kind of expression on his face. When his mouth moved as if he was saying something to me, I could not hear his voice. Everything was muted, and I was left wondering what it was that he wanted to say to me.Gradually, my body started to feel heavier and heavier until it felt lethargic. My mind became much f

Substitute Wife for the Mafia King Unstoppable
Just thinking that the fool right in front of me dared to say he was in love with my sister, while he couldn't even tell the two of us apart, made my blood boil. It took a lot of effort to repress the urge to reach out and strangle his neck right then and there. I reminded myself that I had a part to play and quite an audience to impress."No... this can't be..." Mr. Malton whispered hoarsely from a distance, stepping even further away from me. I stood up from the table, grabbed his arm, and pulled him back to my side as I glared up into his face."It's actually quite simple to fool you. All I had to do was dress up in my sister's clothes whenever I met you and talk a little more sweetly..." I said, letting out a hysterical laugh. I could still feel everyone's eyes on us as the attention in the room escalated even more than before.Mr. Malton was speechless as he tried to pull his arm away from my grip, but I wasn't about to let him get away so easily."Well, now I guess the secret is
Substitute Wife for the Mafia King The Truth We Chose
I had no idea how Diana managed to keep the girls silent up until that point so that the news wouldn't spread; however, I knew that it wouldn't be too long before everyone in school knew about this illicit affair. We would be extremely lucky if this news did not spread beyond the school walls. Despite the gravity of the situation, Mr. Malton was already ready to make his retreat."What if they don't believe us? I feel so scared. I don't want to be alone, and I don't want you to leave me," I said pleadingly just to see his reaction."You know that I would never do that. It would just be temporary until everything blows over. I promise that I will never leave you. How could I possibly leave you? I love you so much," he declared his love for me boldly.The more dramatic things became, the more I felt that his act of adoration was completely fake. No matter how many times he claimed to be in love with my sister, it seemed like he couldn't even tell us apart. I wondered what kind of face h
Substitute Wife for the Mafia King Irresponsible Lover
"Leya, you need to help me find a way out of this. Diana simply cannot make this kind of mistake," my sister told me slowly and clearly as she stared directly into my eyes."You're right. You can't afford to make these kinds of mistakes," I agreed solemnly."No one else must find out about this. We have to do something before word gets out because word is definitely going to get out,," my sister stated calmly, and I could tell that she had returned to her calm and collected self."Can't we tell them that they simply misunderstood and that it's not true?" I asked, daring to harbor a little bit of hope."They probably won't believe what we tell them, but they might believe what we show them," Diana replied, and I could tell her mind was made up.Without using any more words, it seemed like an understanding had formed between us, and once again, it felt like it was us against the entire world....**The Next Day**As I pushed open the back door to the building that was supposed to be off
Substitute Wife for the Mafia King The Bigger Problem
The moment that thought entered my mind, I quickly killed it and pushed it out of my mind as if extinguishing a small flame before it would spread and engulf everything. I told myself that it wouldn’t have to come to that and that we could find another way to figure things out.“Does it matter? Why does it have to matter?” Diana asked, and her tone was cold.My sister’s response quickly snapped me out of my thoughts and back to reality. I narrowed my eyes at her as my irritation started to take over.“It does matter! Have you completely lost your mind? He’s our teacher,” I reminded her as I started to truly lose my head over what my sister had confessed to me.Had I known that the person she had been dating was one of our teachers, I would have definitely stopped her. That was probably the reason why Diana decided to keep it a secret, even from me. In reality, I had my own doubts about whether or not I could have persuaded my sister not to pursue her taboo relationship with Mr. Malton
Substitute Wife for the Mafia King Secret Boyfriend
"I guess he is not someone in this school," I said as I ran my mind through potential candidates who could be my sister's true love."It's a secret," Diana repeated again before pressing her index finger teasingly against her lips."Are you really not going to tell me?" I asked."Honestly, you have no idea just how much I am dying to tell you who he is. But you see, I did promise him to keep it a secret between us... at least for now," Diana said before flashing me a regretful smile."I don't think I will end up liking this guy. He's telling you to keep secrets from me," I replied teasingly."I'll make sure that you're the first one to find out," Diana promised me with a beaming smile."I guess that it's good enough for me that you're happy," I told her honestly."Thank you, Leya. I love you so much. You're probably the only one who truly cares about my happiness," my sister said before pulling me into her embrace.Back then, when I held my sister in my arms and hugged her back tightl
Substitute Wife for the Mafia King An Attempt at Revenge
“Shall we?” Bradon asked as he offered me his arm invitingly.“Thank you,” I replied as I smoothly slipped my arm into his.Appearing in front of the public as Diana, with Bradon as my escort as he flawlessly acted out the role of Anthony, drew quite a lot of attention to us. I could tell that Bradon felt restless, even under his calm and collected exterior, and that was probably because he couldn’t wait for this engagement announcement to come to an end. Even though he should have been reassured now that Diana was taking my place at the ceremony, it seemed that nothing could make Bradon completely feel at ease given the situation.“I sincerely hope that they keep it short,” Bradon whispered right into my ear before planting a soft kiss against my temple.I was sure we looked like the perfect loving couple, and perhaps that wasn’t so far from the truth. For the life of me, I had no idea how Diana managed to convince Desmond to let her take my place at the engagement ceremony, but I wa
Substitute Wife for the Mafia King At My Feet
"So, are you going to get on your hands and knees to beg? How much longer will you keep me waiting?" I asked while pointing my index finger at the empty floor right in front of my feet.If looks could kill, I would have died an extremely painful death, stabbed by the millions of daggers flying out of my father's eyes from the way he was glaring at me. Even when I was clearly his only route of escape from the impending hell that was awaiting him, it was clear that my father felt nothing but hatred for me. I returned his stare with one of my own as I continued pointing to the floor where I wanted them to get on their hands and knees."I'm still waiting. Oh, but if you're not willing, then I'll make sure that some men will escort you out," I said before grinning at them. I could tell that my father was hesitating, and that meant that he was truly considering abandoning whatever pride he had left to get down on his hands and knees to beg for help from his long-abandoned daughter.Time mov
Substitute Wife for the Mafia King Time to Beg
“Dahlia, dear! Please help your dear father!” The head of the Alnault family desperately pleaded for my help. I squinted my eyes at his face as I took in the evident panic and helplessness displayed on his features. I wasn't sure what I was hoping for when I wanted to see him, but his reaction surely surpassed even my wildest expectations. Gone were all of his confidence and arrogance. Perhaps, for the first time in his life, this man was feeling truly hopeless and helpless. “Dahlia! You have to help get us out of this. You need to help our family!”my mother's high-pitched voice begged openly for my help.I glanced in her direction. I wasn't at all surprised to feel absolutely no pity for her. The only question that went through my mind was why these two people were still standing on their feet rather than kneeling in front of me on their knees. My biological father continued begging while giving me countless reasons why I should help him out. However, most of his words were lost to
Substitute Wife for the Mafia King Early Present
It was true that I had ample opportunities to tell Bradon about it, but it was also true that bringing it up would ruin the romantic and joyful mood between us and whatever we were in the middle of doing. Bradon came home early and in time for dinner every day, as if it was a change in habit. We spent time together just like regular couples—staying at home, watching movies, taking a dip in the pool, walking together in the garden, and doing many other things just to enjoy each other's company. It felt like we were making up for all the lost time.…**Around a week later**Diana's brewing plan kept me on edge. The secret preparation for the royal engagement announcement was in full swing.
