Substitute Wife for the Mafia King Missing Each Other
I struggled internally for a moment, but I knew that there was no way that I could turn her down. Donna looked so sad and also a little stressed. She was right that getting this shoot right was important in returning her to the social scene. Also, it wouldn't be so great for her to mess up her first magazine shoot after returning to the country. I let out a loud sigh as I closed my eyes when I realized that there was probably no other way out.“This is because of the weather, isn’t it? Is it that time of the year already? I guess it sucks that your allergies never completely went away. How are you holding up? Do you want to take that medicine that you always take?” I asked before letting out a soft sigh.I had failed to realize that it was already that time of year when Diana’s weather allergies would start acting up. Being stuck inside, I had failed to realize that the air outside might have gotten heavier and it had been raining on and off for a few days. Suddenly, I felt slightly g

Along with a couple of other bodyguards, I headed towards Dahlia's hospital room. It was a path that I had walked so many times that I was certain that I could arrive safely at her hospital room with my eyes closed without using much effort. "Wait here," I instructed the rest of the guards before turning to nod my head in acknowledgment to the other guards that were already on guard in front of her hospital room."You're finally here!" a sweet-sounding voice greeted me the moment that I entered the room.I watched as a very beautiful woman dressed in a casual dress approached me. Slowly, I closed the door behind me before turning to give her my undivided attention. The bright smile that she had on her face as she tilted her face upwards to stare right into my eyes told me that she was beyond thrilled to see me."You have no idea just how long I've been waiting for you. I thought you would arrive here much earlier in the morning," she said before showing me a sweet smile."Should I be

"Why would I ever get jealous?" I replied bluntly."Well, I guess that's a slight shame. Then again, I guess sometimes we don't have a good understanding of our own emotions, am I right?" she asked sweetly before smiling seductively at me."What about you? Do you think you have a good understanding of your emotions?" I asked, wondering as our eyes locked in an intense stare."I'm not sure if I understand my feelings very well, but I think that I understand what I want really, really well," she replied in a seductive whisper as she slowly reached out a hand and placed it against my beating heart. Her beautifully alluring eyes were filled with desire as she stared into my face while her hand slowly stroked my chest suggestively."Shouldn't we wait until we get back home?" I asked. Things were starting to get even more amusing than I ever thought possible when I entered the hospital room. Instead of heading back as fast as possible, it seemed like she was intent on seducing me right then

Diana did not look impressed at my lack of reaction to her teasing words. Although, I did realize that if I hadn't called her out on her act, we would probably be doing it right now. Any fool who couldn't tell the two sisters apart would have surely fallen into her trap."You know, I really hate you," she confessed before smiling sweetly at me."Then get off of me already," I said, with the warning edge in my voice."Not yet. We need to talk," she said as she pressed her hands on top of my shoulders as if they would help keep me in place.I had no idea why she needed to be sitting on top of me for us to have a decent conversation. Diana's mind seemed to be racing as her eyes started to dart to the side, and I couldn't help but wonder what she was trying so desperately hard to figure out."This is going to sound quite crazy. I hate you, but for some reason, I feel like I can trust you now. Maybe it's because you can tell that I'm not Dahlia," she said before she hesitated. My patience

Thankfully, both the interview and shoot for the magazine ended early, and I was able to make it back quickly to the hospital."Lady Diana," one of the bodyguards said when they saw me."Please move aside, I need to see my sister right away," I said hurriedly. However, instead of stepping aside and opening the door for me right away, the guards glanced at each other with a hesitant look on their faces, as if they weren't sure about what to do. That was when it occurred to me that Diana wasn't the only person inside my hospital room."Is Bradon here?" I asked, trying to keep my tone calm.He called to tell me that he would come and pick me up. I should have told him that I had to go out in Diana's place because she suddenly fell sick. Although I doubted that he would agree to letting me take my sister's place for the photoshoot, maybe I should have told him anyway. My body froze in place, and I found that I wasn't sure what to do. Bradon was clearly inside with Diana right now.My hear

Bradon was supposed to pick me up from the hospital, but I had to take my sister's place at her magazine interview and photoshoot. Diana was supposed to be sick in bed. When Bradon arrived to pick me up, he should have met Diana, who was supposed to explain my absence. I wasn't sure how things were supposed to turn out, but Bradon making out with my sister while I was away surely surpassed even my wildest imagination."Are you feeling alright, miss?" the driver asked as he glanced at me through the rearview mirror. I quickly turned away to hide my face because I feared that he might recognize me. "I'm fine. Please just continue driving; I'll pay you, that's not a problem," I said to reassure him while hating just how broken and upset I sounded. My voice was cracking, and it sounded like my throat was dry. I could feel the taxi driver staring at me through the rearview mirror for a moment before redirecting his attention back to the road. I could no longer ignore the tears streaming

‘You told me that he was beyond amazing in bed. Maybe I should see for myself whether or not that is true…’My sister's teasing words came back to me, and they never felt so threatening as they did at that moment. Although I knew that she wasn't purely joking about it, I also didn't think that she would end up acting on it either. I also never counted on something like that happening when the two of them were left alone together while I was out doing Diana a favor. I was beyond angry at my sister and her lack of restraint, but then I realized that Diana had always been this way. I just never thought that she would seduce Bradon given the fact that she knew about my relationship with him. That thought gave me pause, as I wondered what kind of relationship I actually have with Bradon. After all, just as my sister correctly pointed out, I wasn't his real wife, and we were not really married. The fact remained that, despite all of our sexual relations, there wasn't supposed to be any rom

I wondered what Bradon was doing and if the two of them just continued on where they had left off after I practically ran out of the room. Now that my sister had returned, it felt like there was no room for me anymore. I felt like no one wanted or needed me anymore and once again I was reminded of the fact that perhaps I was nothing more than a spare and a stand-in for my sister. The only person who wanted me and was a little dependent on me was Desmond, with his twisted idea of how to incorporate me into his grand scheme."I guess it might rain all night," I mumbled to myself. The sound of the rain beating down echoed all around me to the extent that I could barely hear myself. Strangely, despite the loud sound of the wind and rain, I managed to find some peace and solace. I leaned back and let out a loud sigh before closing my eyes as if it would help erase everything from my mind. The only relief to the pain was the fact that I knew that I would not be disturbed and until I felt li

My heartbeat thundered in my ears as I approached them. The three of them were engaged in such an intense conversation that, at first, they did not recognize my presence. Diana's voice was the first that came to me. Her voice was shaky, as if she was barely holding herself together."The doctor said that there's no change in his condition. Anthony is still unresponsive, although it's been months, and this whole thing with the snipers is only making it worse..." Diana said.I came to a stop as my mind struggled to process her words. My heartbeat grew even faster in my chest, and for a moment I thought that perhaps I had misheard my own sister. What did she mean when she said that Anthony is still unresponsive?Diana already knew that Bradon had taken Anthony's place, and that meant that the man who was shot was none other than Bradon. Yet how was it possible that Anthony was the one who was unresponsive? Nothing made sense to me at that moment. It felt like I was missing a very key pie

It hurt me more than anything to realize that I couldn't blame him, even if he did that, because I was the one who betrayed him first. I left him without a word or farewell, running away from him as if he were the one who had done something wrong. Memories of our time together came back like waves. The fake honeymoon that we enjoyed together felt more real than anything, right at that moment. I remembered the way that he would laugh whenever he let his guard down on the nights when we enjoyed each other's company simply as our true selves, and the dangerous world outside and our identities didn't need to complicate things for us.There was a time when I thought that love was enough, but a small voice inside of me reminded me not to be so foolish. As time slipped by, I found myself praying that the door would just swing open and that Bradon would be standing there with his arms wide open. I wanted nothing more than to be held in his arms once again. I had to admit to myself that, with
Substitute Wife for the Mafia King Hopeless Hope
"Where is this?" I asked without hiding my suspicion. I knew very well where the Vulkan mansion was located and also what it looked like, and the place that we had just parked in front of couldn't look more different than the mansion that I remembered."You didn't think that we would take you to our home, did you?" Mrs. Vulkan snapped before looking away with a clear look of disgust on her face."I guess your home would be the first place that Bradon would look when he finds me missing," I replied dismissively."No more chit chat," Bradon's father said as he urged me out of the car.I told myself that it did make sense that they would find a place for me to stay, but did it have to be such a shabby-looking place? The isolated low-rise building looked like it could use a round of maintenance. The room that they led me to was simple, with a single bed, a television, a desk, and absolutely no windows."How long am I supposed to stay here? I thought we made an agreement that you would h
Substitute Wife for the Mafia King The Way Out
"Why would my son want to keep you here?" Mr. Vulkan asked as his eyes seemed to search my face for the answer that he was looking for. "How am I supposed to know? Maybe he hasn't had enough of me yet..." I replied before showing them a fake yet extremely sweet smile. "Even if he isn't considered a normal member of our family, I still can't have you associating with him," he continued on as if he was lecturing me of my lack of worth. "I just told you that I'm not the one begging to stay here and with him," I replied coldly. I had hoped that by then it had become plain obvious what I wanted the two of them to do for me. With their help, I was certain that they could find a way to get me out of Bradon's mansion. Bradon wasn't around, so the next in command was Zain, whom I did not think could directly stand up against the head of the Vulkan family. At least, that was where I decided to place my bets at that point in time. "So you want to leave but he won't let you? Is that what you

I quickly followed them inside, sensing that the two of them were here looking for trouble. One glance at Zain, and I could tell that he was already informing Bradon of their unexpected arrival. It wasn't like Zain could throw out Bradon's father and stepmother, so I could understand the pitiful position that he suddenly found himself in. I straightened my back and followed them further inside, thinking to myself that I needed to hold the fort until Bradon returned. Whatever it was that they wanted, I needed to make sure to find out.The two of them sat comfortably on the sofa as if they were in their own house by the time I made it to the living room. The fact that neither of us spoke a single word as I sat down on the sofa only made the tension in the room skyrocket."I'm sure that Bradon will be back soon," I said, more to tell myself than to tell them."Why are you still here?" Mr. Vulkan asked as he turned his cold gaze in my direction.The way that he looked at me left no room f
Substitute Wife for the Mafia King Unexpected Arrival
**A few days later**"How many times do I have to tell you? You can't keep me locked up in here!" I yelled at the top of my lungs, my hands clenching into tight fists. I could feel the blood rushing to my face as anger and frustration took over.Over the past few days, I had already lost count of the number of times Bradon and I had had this argument. For some reason that I could not comprehend, my life as a prisoner inside his household had resumed. There must have been a change in Bradon that I couldn't fully understand-something that had led him to decide to keep me under house arrest. Going out was no longer an option, even if I was escorted."You may leave when I tell you that you can," Bradon replied with the same infuriatingly calm response he always gave, his tone ticking me off even more."Listen, I'm not doing this because I want to be selfish. If there's a reason why you can't let me go outside, then please just let me know, and I'll try to be understanding," I said, taking

"I'll try not to come back late," Bradon replied without any further explanations. I only managed to simply nod my head before he was already out of the living room. The look that Bradon gave me told me to hold my tongue and not ask him any questions. I knew very well that asking him anything would be useless because he most likely wouldn't give me any kind of answer. As I stared at the doorway, my mind became even more unsettled than before. Something was definitely going on and Bradon was keeping it away from me. "Probably just work..." I mumbled to myself. It wasn't unusual for Bradon not to tell me much about matters related to his work, and I never minded. A sigh escaped my lips when I realized that I had officially failed once again. The worst part was that I felt very relieved at the very same time. Bradon's parting words, telling me that he would hurry back home gave me something to look forward to and that made me realize just how much I yearned to be with him. "Stop it,
Substitute Wife for the Mafia King Unavoidable Parting
I needed to leave him and as soon as possible, but I didn't know how I could achieve that. My past experiences have taught me quite directly that I couldn't truly run away from Bradon. Escaping from the mansion was unquestionably impossible. I could not run away, so that meant that I needed to get Bradon to agree to let me leave. My legs already felt weak, and I wanted nothing more than to crawl into bed and shut my eyes to escape reality. I knew that I needed to talk to Bradon about ending our fake marriage as soon as possible, although I had no idea how to bring up the topic. Something told me that it might prove to be difficult to get Bradon to agree, and there was always a risk that he might react unpredictably.However, if everything he did was simply him just acting out his role and his feelings for me didn't truly exist, then that might be the solution to all of my problems. If he felt no attachment to me, then he should have no problem letting me go just as planned. After all
Substitute Wife for the Mafia King Predetermined Outcome
The party ended early, yet it was quite eventful, at least for Bradon and myself. I felt like there was a storm raging inside of me all the while that we rode back to his mansion. It felt like there was something right at the tip of my tongue that I wanted to say, but yet I couldn't bring myself to say it. There were times when I thought that I fully understood myself and what I wanted, and yet at the very same time, I felt so confused and lost. The feelings that were struggling to take dominance inside of me did not make sense, and it made me feel as if my thoughts and my feelings were heading in the direct opposite direction of one another.Bradon's words of defiance as he confronted my father came back to me loud and clear:"Dahlia is not your daughter anymore, and neither am I one of the Vulkans. I will never let you take my wife..."I should have known that entering into this contract marriage with Bradon, while taking my sister's place, would somehow lead to blurring the line be
