Substitute Wife for the Mafia King Do You Want to Play?
I just couldn’t believe that the casino that I had heard of but never seen and never thought that I would get to visit would be right in front of me right now. Although most people in upper society knew about it, not everyone was allowed to come to a place like this.Of course, my father was one of the selected few who had access to places like these. How else could he have gambled the fortune of our family away?For normal people in the country, this wasn’t supposed to exist. People were not supposed to know about it and even if they did, they had to pretend that they did not possess such knowledge. Of course, the common people were banned by law from entertaining themselves at such a place.“I guess Diana isn’t supposed to be in a place like this…” I said with widened eyes as I turned my head around to take in all that was in front of me.“You’re not supposed to be here either,” he pointed out.“You’re right…” I replied while thinking that I should be working late into the night at
Substitute Wife for the Mafia King Thrill of the Game
“Excuse me, please make way for the lady,” Bradon said from close to me.His authoritative tone caught the attention of the men around us immediately. There was a slight nervousness and tension in the air before the crowd parted to let me through.“Thank you, gentlemen,” Bradon said before showing them what I would consider a very cold smile.“Thank you…” I whispered.With a firm nudge of Bradon’s hand against the small of my back, I took a few steps forward until I was standing right at the side of the large table.“This is a roulette…” Bradon replied before going on to explain the rule of the game to me in a short and concise summary.“Wow…” I murmured as I watched the dealer spin the wheel.I felt like a child mesmerized by a new toy that I had just discovered. Even though I’ve seen a roulette wheel spinning before in some movies that I’ve watched, it just felt so different to see the real thing. I could feel the excitement of everyone gathered around the table heighten as the deal
Substitute Wife for the Mafia King Easy to Impress
Since he seemed to be so against the idea, I wondered if he was actually terrible at it. It would be quite uncool for the owner of the casino to suck at gambling. The thought brought a small smirk to my lips, and I found it hard to hold in my giggles.“Jake,” Bradon suddenly called a man’s name.“Yes, Boss...” the dealer at the table responded immediately.“Entertain the lady,” he instructed casually.Entertain me? How?“We’re taking a break right now, gentlemen. Thank you very much. We will resume in 15 minutes. In the meantime, please enjoy some refreshments over there,” Jake said as he began shuffling a deck of cards in his hands.“Watch. He’s not half bad,” Bradon said to me.“What is he going to show me?” I asked as my eyes focused on the smooth movements of Jake’s hands as he continued shuffling a deck of cards.“Some adorable card tricks,” Bradon replied.As if to signal that the show had started, Jake began shuffling the cards faster and faster. I watched as if captivated by t
Substitute Wife for the Mafia King A Debt to Settle
With the mask that I had on, I doubted that anyone could recognize me unless they happened to know either Diana or me very well.“Are you tired?” he asked.“No way. I’m going over there to play,” I replied with clear determination.After being locked up in the mansion for such a long time, there was no way that I would return without having my fill of fun first. On top of that, I haven’t won a single game since entering the casino. Perhaps it was because I hadn’t found a game that I was good at or a game that I could simply win by using my luck. Regardless, I made a silent oath to myself that I would not call it a day until I won at something.“Ok…” Bradon murmured without any excitement.Regardless of his attitude, he still stuck by my side as I walked toward another zone in the casino where another game was being played.…“Seriously, how can I possibly lose at every single game?” I asked in complete disbelief before I covered my cheeks with my hands.“You have no skills, and your l
Substitute Wife for the Mafia King A Game with Him
Does he mean that I need to settle this amount before I can leave?Is he crazy?!“Wait…are you telling me that I lost 28 million dollars today?” I asked without bothering to conceal my utter shock.“Yes, My Lady. I have the breakdown here if you would like to check,” Sean said with confidence before smiling at me again.“What is going on?” I turned to demand for an answer from Bradon.Bradon had a very passive look on his face as if this was supposed to be expected and normal. I glared at him so hard that I thought that my eyes would pop out of their sockets.“What did you expect? How are you supposed to gamble if you don’t have any money?” Bradon asked as if it was supposed to be obvious.“Even so! Where does this ridiculous amount of 28 million dollars even come from?” I demanded to know.“What color chips did you use to bet with, My Lady, if I may ask?” the manager asked with a gentle smile.“Chip? Hmm…a rectangular bronze one…about the side of a playing card…” I replied as I recal
Substitute Wife for the Mafia King The Queen of Hearts
The manager was serious about the debt that I owed and whether I liked it or not, I had to acknowledge that the casino does have rules. I didn’t even want to imagine what would happen to those who couldn’t manage to pay for their losses.“This is so unfair. You probably have years of experience with this while I have absolutely none. How do you expect me to win?” I protested at once.“It’s really a simple game,” he replied casually.“What kind of game is it?” I asked.“A simple one. Come with me for a bit and I’ll explain it to you,” he said as he headed for the door.Sean was nowhere to be seen by the time that we were out in front of the room. It seemed like I wasn’t walking fast enough for Bradon’s liking because he ended up holding my wrist so that he could pull me along. Now that I thought about it, Bradon has been holding my wrist like this for almost the entire day. He only let me go just enough for when I had to use my arms to engage in the games.“Oh…” I made a small sound wh
Substitute Wife for the Mafia King The King and His Queen
I felt my heart thumping faster and harder in my chest as my eyes were glued to the card that he had just slid out. For a moment, it truly felt like time had slowed and I used that moment to wish hard that whatever the card that Bradon had pulled out would be a lower ranking card than my queen of hearts. The odds were on my side but a nagging feeling at the back of my mind told me that I might have been playing a game where I was destined to lose.“Ready?” Bradon turned and asked me.“Just flip it over,” I replied coldly as I tried to hide my nervousness.The identity of the card would determine whether or not I would be free of my sudden 28 million dollar debt. I felt a stinging pain shoot through my lower lip and realized that I had started chewing on it in my nervousness. I wished that Bradon would just turn the card over right away but at the same time I found myself feeling scared of finding out the result of our game. Bradon’s hand and beautiful fingers moved almost too slowly a
Substitute Wife for the Mafia King Nothing Is As It Seems
The king…and his queen…?“I guess you really like playing me for a fool,” I mumbled before pressing my lips into a thin line.I was sure that I should have been angry at him for humiliating me but surprisingly, that wasn’t how I felt. Once again, it felt like I had very little or absolutely no control about what was happening around me and I was just being sucked in by the strong current with no means of escape. Maybe I was just waiting for it to suck me under for good.“How so?” he asked as he stared directly at me.“How is this supposed to be a fair game if you know which card is which? You’ve just been tricking me and playing me for a fool,” I replied accusingly.“Not at all. I just wanted you to know that nothing is what it seems. Nothing is fair and everything is being manipulated someway or another,” he explained casually.“You mean that nothing is fair and that everything is manipulated in your world, right?” I snapped as I glared at him.“I guess you might be right but that do

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. As for me, I spent a lot of time mentally preparing myself for what was to come. Each peaceful day that went by felt like the perfect calm before a raging storm. One day, I woke up to find Bradon sitting on the side of the bed, his eyes on me as if he was waiting patiently for me to wake up from my sl
