“What were you doing in the water? Were you trying to kill yourself?” he asked with widened eyes.

He did mention just now that I couldn't swim.

Could it be…?

“Bradon, you don’t happen to really think that I can’t swim, do you?” I asked as I narrowed my eyes suspiciously at him.

“You can't…swim…” he murmured.

This time I could tell that he was less certain than before and there was an unmistakable look of hesitation and confusion in his eyes.

“Listen, I don’t know who told you that I can’t swim but I can. I can swim just fine,” I stated, slowly and clearly.

Bradon looked confused and he didn’t seem convinced about the fact that I could swim while I wondered how much longer I needed to deal with this nonsense of his.

“I’m not a pro but I’m quite a competent swimmer. Just so you know, I’m not going to simply and randomly drown in a swimming pool, and in case you haven’t realized, I had an instructor with me as well,” I explained while wondering why I had to point out the obvious.

  • Substitute Wife for the Mafia King   Our Three-Way Connection

    The wind blew all around us and I could hear the rustling of leaves from the trees close by. The sea wasn’t far off and I could smell the unique scent of the ocean. It was getting dark quite fast but I didn’t want to go back inside until we finished our conversation properly. “You’re right. It’s my fault for leaving you here. Although you seemed to have enjoyed yourself immensely while I was gone, I’ll stick to my offer to buy you whatever that you want,” he said emotionlessly. I was quite surprised that he was freely admitting that it was his fault for leaving me, although I did not miss that he hadn’t exactly offered me words of apology. Then again, I wasn’t dying to hear him say ‘sorry’. Instead, there was something that I wanted but it was something that his money couldn’t buy. “There’s something that I want from you, and lucky for you, you don’t even have to pay to give it to me,” I said as I took a step towards him to close the distance between us. “What is it that you want?

  • Substitute Wife for the Mafia King   Sleepless Night Together

    The wind was getting stronger and the temperature had dropped. I knew that Bradon was logically right that we should head inside but my stubbornness had already taken over. “Your hand is cold…” he said to me softly. “Stop trying to change the topic…” I warned. The moment he raised my hand to his lips and kissed it, my words felt stuck in my throat. His lips were soft and warm and their touch on the back of my hand made my insides tingle. Even though I knew that he was doing this to distract me from pushing him for answers, I couldn’t help the way that my chest tightened. It took a lot of effort to stop myself from moaning when I felt the wet tip of his tongue flicking softly against the back of my hand. “Stop…” I said as I tried to pull my hand away.Of course, it was no use. On top of failing to free my hand from his grasp, Bradon rewarded my vain effort by sucking softly on the back of my hand. He looked straight at me as his lips continued kissing and sucking on the back of my

  • Substitute Wife for the Mafia King   Enough Talk and More Action

    “Anthony did something very similar before. There was this birthday party of one of our mutual friends. We were all invited to the party and ended up going together. I didn’t want to be there but Diana was insistent on dragging me along. I remember I felt like such a third wheel and I hated it…” I said in a light tone as I recalled my memories from that day. Surprisingly, I found it easier to recount the story to Bradon now that I have started. I had no idea why I was suddenly telling him this or why I suddenly felt so talkative but it felt better than the silence that dwelled between us just a short while before. Even more surprisingly, was the fact that Bradon was silently and willingly listening to my tale. “Someone said something that pissed me off and I decided to escape rather than making a scene. I didn’t want to ruin Diana’s date with Anthony, so I just walked away alone into the garden at the back of their mansion. This is going to sound so stupid, but it was dark and I was

    My core throbbed and tightened when he capture my nipple and pinched it hard. My hips jerked and then I was thrusting my chest upwards, shoving my breasts right into his hand. Although our honeymoon was supposed to be fake just like our fabricated marriage, we clearly didn’t have any problems when it came to affairs on the bed. Bradon was eager and my body truly yearned for the pleasure that he could provide. Everything came naturally as we sought pleasure from each other’s bodies. Bradon’s other hand caressed it way down the curve of my body, sliding along the curve of my waist to my hips before moving even lower to stroke the side of my thigh. He pulled my right leg to the side to spread my thighs as he settled in between them. My body trembled and I could feel my core quivering from both excitement and anticipation. I must have known since we stepped into this room when we first arrived that this moment would arrive sooner or later. His lips captured mine as his tongue sunk into

    I wanted him so badly that it felt like I was about to lose my mind. Bradon enjoyed teasing me and watching my reaction. “Can you feel my fingers slowly entering you? It’s so wet and so hot inside you…” he asked seductively. I could feel it so distinctively. His thick and long fingers painfully slowly sliding deeper and deeper into my love tunnel. His fingers stretched my pussy walls and slowly filled me up inside while I made small whimpering sounds in my throat at the pleasure that burst forth inside of me. “Ahh…it’s so good…” I moaned when he buried his fingers deeply into me. Bradon pulled his fingers slowly out of me before thrusting it all the way inside again. It felt like I finally got what I wished so desperately for when he began slamming his fingers hard in and out of my flooded love entrance. I couldn't believe how wet he had made me. His fingers pounded mercilessly against my pleasure spot. I cried out as my body writhed from pure ecstasy on the bed. “There’s no need

    His cock beating repeatedly into me, with each thrust kissing my womb felt so intense. “Who is fucking your sweet little pussy right now?” Bradon asked in a low growl. He captured my chin and forced me to look at him. His face was right above mine and I couldn’t help but stare up at him. I felt tears stinging the back of my eyes from the intensity of his thrusts and the mind-blowing pleasure that he was making me feel. I didn’t want him to stop fucking me and it didn’t seem like he was about to stop any time soon either. “Ahh…Ahhh!” I cried out when I felt his cock ramming against my womb again. Bradon’s movement became even more aggressive. It started to hurt a little but the heightened pleasure felt more than worth it. “Answer me, Leya. Whose cock is pounding your hole right now?” he asked in snarl. “Ahh…Bradon…Ahhh! Bradon!” I cried out in a strangled voice as I finally reached my mind-shattering climax.My orgasm completely took over and it felt like I had lost control over

    I moaned his name as my hips moved backwards to match the rhythm of his thrusts while my pussy welcomed the penetration of his cock into me. Bradon was clearly not used to taking things easy and slow. It didn’t take long for his gentle and patient thrusts to gather speed. I cried out when he began pounding my pussy faster and harder with his thick shaft as his hand held my thigh to lift and spread my leg upward. His crotch slapped faster and harder against my behind as he rammed his dick into me.“Ahh…Ahh…Not so…fast…” I protested in between my impassioned moans. Despite what I was saying, I had to admit that it felt good and I was enjoying myself. It felt amazing before but it felt more like it for us this way. Just when I thought that things couldn’t get better, Bradon reached a hand in front of me before shoving it in between my thighs. “Oh…please!” I cried out when I felt him stroking my swollen clit.

  • Substitute Wife for the Mafia King   Target for Elimination

    When night fell, the shadow would disappear for a while and she could smile and laugh like there wasn’t a single burden weighing her down. However, just as surely as sunset and nightfall, the sun would rise the following morning and then that shadow of darkness that haunted her would be back. If I had known that the love marks that I left on her skin would trigger those memories within her, I would have held back my selfish desires. I glanced over at Dahlia who was taking a nap in her seat next to me on our return flight. She must have felt tired because it didn’t take long for her to fall asleep. Dahlia may have thought that her comments were nothing more than a passing joke, but to me, her words told me that the scars left on her heart remained even though the physical marks on her body had long faded. The first time that Dahlia Alnault’s name appeared on the elimination list was not long after a scandal broke out from a social media post that she had posted. By that time, Dahlia

    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

    "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

    **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
