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

    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

    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

    “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

    **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

    Everyone insisted on the same thing, that I had to eat a balanced meal, get enough sleep, and keep my stress at bay as best as I could. I had to say that all of that was much easier said than done, and I doubted that the doctor that took care of me got his full 8 hours of sleep a night."You should stay here for a couple of days until you're completely back to normal. As the doctor recommended, rest is the best cure for your condition right now," Bradon told me as he sat next to my hospital bed. I wanted to tell him that his presence close to me made me feel slightly restless. After all, how did he expect me to completely relax and fall asleep when he was practically staring at my face the whole time?"When I was asleep, were you...umm... were you here with me the whole time?" I asked hesitantly as my hands fiddled together under the blanket."Not quite, but almost," he replied."I see. Thanks for that, I guess," I replied before trying my best to smile his way to hide my embarrassmen

    I honestly meant it as a joke, but the sorrowful look that entered the depth of his blue eyes and his face told me that he didn't find my joke at all entertaining. Suddenly, the atmosphere around us felt awkwardly tense. Just as I wondered what I could say to ease the tension between us that I had unintentionally caused, Bradon spoke up."I'm sorry, Dahlia," he said as he pressed my hand against his forehead. I could hear and feel his regret, and I truly believe that he genuinely regretted his actions and that affected my heart.For a moment, I was stunned into silence as all I could do was stare at him as my body froze in place."No, I didn't mean for it to come out that way. I'm not really blaming you," I said before trailing off."It's fine. It is my fault," he said. I wasn't sure at that point if my words bothered him more or if his reaction bothered me more."You should try your best to fall asleep," he advised after a moment of silence."I think after 3 days of doing nothing but

    "I guess you'll have to hold back this time. You shouldn't bully the sick, right?" I asked teasingly as I patted the empty spot next to me on the bed again.This time, instead of hesitating in silence, Bradon chuckled softly before climbing into bed with me. The hospital bed creaked from his movement and his weight. The space that we had to share was certainly too narrow for the two of us to sleep separately, so it felt very natural when he pulled me into his embrace and hugged me tightly with my back towards him. I could feel the warmth of his breath tickling the top of my head like a gentle breeze as his chest rose and fell from his steady breathing."Are you really scared?" Bradon murmured.I wondered if I was really scared about the possibility that my life could be in danger. Honestly, it still felt very unreal, although I knew that it wasn't completely impossible for something like that to happen."I was just fooling around. I'm not scared," I said before trailing off with the w

    It felt like his fingers were slowly unraveling my defenses as I found myself surrendering to the pleasure of his seduction. It wasn't the first time that we were about to have sex in the hospital. The first time that Brandon seduced me into doing it with him was right after Desmond left after his visit. I didn't have much time back then to be curious about the present that Desmond mentioned before Brandon practically jumped up on me. My insides ached and felt like a mess for an entire day after he aggressively pumped his cock in and out of me and made me climax multiple times on end.Maybe because he felt guilty for fooling around with a patient that was supposed to be recovering in the hospital, Bradon became much more patient and gentle the times that we did it after that, to the point where I found it slightly annoying."It's really dripping wet," Bradon whispered in a low, seductive voice, and his words managed to snap me out of my thoughts. I let out a small cry when his hands

    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

    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

    "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

    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

    "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

    “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

    "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

    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.
