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

  • Substitute Wife for the Mafia King   Unravelling Desire

    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

    I could hear the strong beating of his heart as our bodies became completely joined. My pussy quivered around his cock as I hugged him tightly while sitting on the hospital bed."If you don't let me go, I can't start moving," Bradon said teasingly before letting out a little chuckle.I slowly unwrapped my arms from his body while hesitating to let him go. I planted my hands behind me instead to prop myself up as I spread my thighs invitingly."Oh...Ahh...Ahhh!" I moaned louder and louder as his cock began moving inside of me. Bradon stimulated my insides with slow but deep thrusts. The sensation of his cock dragging slowly along the walls of my aching pussy as he withdrew it almost completely out of me made my entire body tremble. I cried out each time that he plunged his cock into me. Although the slow and deep way that he was entering me felt so pleasurable, it didn't take me long to crave something more rough and dominating."Please..." I pleaded in a strangled voice as I lifted my

    I was slightly disappointed that he didn't come with a new game to teach me that day, but I had nothing to complain about. Since I wasn't allowed to leave the hospital, my days when Bradon wasn’t around usually involved browsing social media using my phone or doing some online shopping to ease my boredom. It was extremely challenging to keep updating Diana's social media channel now that I was stuck in the hospital. Diana wasn't supposed to be in the hospital, so I couldn't exactly post photos of myself in my hospital gown to show to the world. After missing a few days of posting on social media, Diana's followers began feeling restless, and I received countless comments expressing their hopes that Diana was doing well. Diana's followers were not used to her absence from social media and were undoubtedly looking forward to getting updates. I had gotten used to the number of notifications that would pop up on Diana's social media channel. Although it wasn't anything to be proud of, I

    "Dahlia," Bradon called my name again as he came closer.I knew that he was waiting for me to respond to him, but my mind was still struggling to process the fact that there was a very high chance that my sister was now back in the city, and I didn't know how to break the news to him. It was a very strange feeling not to know what I was feeling exactly at that moment as various emotions grappled for supremacy within my chest."My sister is back," I said in a low murmur as I felt my brows draw together in a frown. I couldn't find the right words, so I ended up spitting out the first words that came to mind."Diana is back?" Bradon said, and I could hear the surprise in his voice. I couldn't help but wonder what he thought or felt about the fact that my sister had returned."Did you know about this?" I asked as I stared at his face. Although he looked genuinely surprised when I told him that Diana was back, I wasn't sure if he knew about this in advance. If I had to take a guess, I wou

    Maybe she ended up getting it all wrong once again after all…"Did you manage to find her?" I asked as I sat up straight in bed the moment the door opened. I knew instinctively that Bradon had finally arrived. After staying up practically all night the night before, I was wide-eyed to greet Bradon, although it was very early in the morning. "We've picked up her trail but we've yet to secure your sister," Bradon replied. I was hit with a sudden wave of disappointment, although I told myself that Bradon wasn't at fault. It would probably take a little more time in this game of hide and seek. It did surprise me a little that Diana managed to evade Bradon's search, even if it was only for a night."Does this mean that she's desperately hiding from me?" I asked before finding myself frowning while trying to figure out Diana's intentions. I honestly did not think that she would take her teasing so far just to get back at me because I was sure that Diana wanted to see me as well. "More l

    Wanting to let go of my sister so that I could look into her face, I was first overwhelmed by the purest sense of joy just at the sight of her face. I could tell that Diana also felt emotional, and it looked like she was on the verge of crying. We both smiled at each other before giggling as if we were young little girls planning something mischievous for the upcoming days of the holidays. Although I knew that we needed to talk about so many things, at that moment no words came to mind, and I was just happy to rejoice in our reunion."I'm very happy to see you again," Diana said before she smiled sweetly at me. We held each other's hands tightly as if we couldn't bear to be apart from each other again. I figured that if Desmond could issue a royal pardon for me, then it probably wouldn't stretch beyond his power to bring Diana back while safeguarding her from our parents or whatever interference that could adversely impact her life. However, I also knew that if Desmond made the decis

  • 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

    "But..." I mumbled, but I could not bring myself to say anything else when my eyes met his. His beautiful lips curved into a teasing smile, and there was a certain sparkle in the depths of his eyes that captivated my attention. That was when I knew that although he probably disapproved of what I had just done, there was a part of him that was actually quite pleased. I found myself smiling sweetly back at him like I was some fool."You hit me? You vile bitch! I'm your father. I raised you!" my father screamed at me at the top of his lungs. Apparently, I wasn't the only one who had forgotten where we were and the fact that we were surrounded by other high-profile guests who were attending the party."Dahlia, how could you do something like that? How could you hurt your father? We never raised you to become like this," my mother said, with clear disappointment and shock on her facial features."Really? Because here I honestly thought that I was already disowned. Well, to be more accurate

    I was certain that just as many people hated her and blamed her for going against societal norms, there were probably just as many people who admired her, either openly or secretly as her fans. Perhaps to them, our sisterly duo act was the spice they needed in their endlessly boring lives."Don't you feel better from just seeing how everyone is welcoming us with open arms?" Diana continued before she raised her hand to wave at someone that she knew."Fine. I admit that you got your point across," I said as my eyes scanned the crowd that had gathered for the party. I could feel Bradon tensing at my side, and I knew that he had just spotted the two people that I least wanted to see at that moment. "Did you know about this?" I turned to ask Diana without hiding my shock."That they'll be here? I guess not, but why does it matter? You'd have run into them sooner or later. If you ask me, the sooner the better," Diana said with a careless shrug of her shoulders.I narrowed my eyes as I gla

    "You should go to bed," Bradon told me the moment that we stepped into the mansion. I knew that his suggestion was spot on because sleep was exactly what I needed to deal with what was to come. The media and everyone had undoubtedly gone wild as they both communicated and speculated on what was the truth and what were twisted lies from all the events that happened in the past that I shared with my sister.I switched off my phone when it wouldn't stop vibrating, without bothering to read the caller ID on the screen. I could already guess who would be calling me and also exactly what they had to say."It feels like my head is ready to explode," I confessed before smiling weakly at Bradon."Which is precisely why you should stop thinking or caring about anyone else and just get some shut-eye," Bradon said as he peeled away the mobile phone that I held in my hand. I let him do so without putting up any resistance because all I wanted to do was crawl into bed and hide under the sheets wit

  • Substitute Wife for the Mafia King   Diana and Dahlia

    "My name is Diana, which can only mean that the Diana standing over there is, in fact, my twin sister, Dahlia. In fact, for the past months, I wasn't present, and the Diana that you knew had always been my sister acting out in my place," Diana explained as if it was something to be proud of.The crowd went wild, but I decided to focus my attention on the two figures that seemed so intent on ruining my life along with my sister’s. Our father had officially become our enemy, and at that moment, he looked like he might have started to regret pushing both of us over the edge. Mr. Malton, who, after all this time, clearly never regretted his actions and never realized that he should have been man enough to take responsibility. I was certain that even now, he was willing to destroy our reputation and our future—all for the sake of the money undoubtedly promised to him by our father. Desperate times truly call for desperate measures; that applied to our father but also to us as well.I could

    I found myself praying silently that Desmond could bring everything under control, but my prayers probably fell on deafened ears. Instead of Desmond stepping up to the podium, it was my sister who approached it instead."What is she doing?" I asked in a shaky whisper as I felt myself breaking into a cold sweat. It felt like my eyes were about to pop out of their sockets as I continued staring in bewilderment and disbelief at my sister, who stood with a beautiful smile behind the podium, the microphone very close to her lips. I turned to stare at Desmond and managed to lock gazes with him. I could tell that he was staring right back at me, and the way he nodded his head reassuringly was supposed to bring me some relief and keep me at ease, but it only made me even more nervous.I could tell that everyone in the crowd was staring daggers at my sister, even from where I was standing. It wasn't surprising, considering that everyone thought Diana was me. It felt like tight knots had formed

    Back to the present"Homewrecker! Homewrecker! Homewrecker!"The violent chanting continued and began seeping into my consciousness, dragging me back to the present. Disaster seemed to be staring me right in the face."Leya..." Bradon whispered my name right beside my ear.His presence close to me reminded me that, unlike that day back then, I wasn't alone. I had Bradon by my side, and, on top of that, everyone was here with me: Desmond and my sister. I suddenly felt a surge of confidence that made me believe that there could be a way out, one that would save us all from this dire situation my father had plotted against us.I had to admit that after leaving the country, I hadn't spared much thought for what would unfold after my departure. I never took care to follow up on any news-not that they would be made public-related to Mr. Malton's wife and child. I had no idea what happened to him or his family after that incident. My parents completely cut me off, and there was frankly no on

    "What have you done? Have you completely lost your mind?" my father yelled at me immediately when our family was gathered in private. His face was completely red with anger as his voice echoed in the room. My mother looked like she was on the verge of tears, and I could tell that she was more worried about our family rather than her own daughter. "News of your ridiculous and scandalous behavior is now all over the place!" my father continued yelling. As if to drive his message home, his mobile phone began ringing non-stop. One glance at the name displayed on the screen drove my father to the brink before he switched off the phone and threw it onto the floor. My mother let out a scream at my father's sudden violent outburst before sinking down onto the sofa as if she had lost all strength in her body.I took the opportunity to slowly take a seat, and Diana was by my side in an instant. I knew that the best way to brave out this storm was to keep quiet and not let his words get to me.
