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

What I forgot to pause and think about at the time was how I would feel about all this and what was about to happen to all of us."Thanks for the present, I guess. Can I get some alone time with my sister?" I requested before smiling at the two gentlemen in the room. Bradon and Desmond exchanged glances before quietly taking their leave.It felt like I aged a couple of years over the duration of less than 20 minutes. All the stress and effort that it took to find the right words to explain to my sister everything that happened after she ran away with the love of her life until present made me feel like I shaved a couple of years from my lifespan. I reached up a hand towards my hair before twirling the strand with my fingers while I prayed that all the stress wouldn't give me white hair. Although it was challenging at first to start the conversation with my sister, I somehow managed to tell her about everything that happened from my fake marriage to Anthony, who turned out to be Bradon

From what she was saying, I believed that I had kind of figured out how things worked out between her and her man; however, I needed to ask in order to be sure. After telling her everything, I felt like it was only fair that she shared with me what went on in her life from the moment that she ran away and quit being Diana."What about you? What happened to you?" I asked as I braced myself to face the truth. Diana took in a shuddering breath before letting it out slowly. Clearly, the question that I had just asked her was difficult for her to answer, and she needed time to process her words. Fortunately, it felt like we had all the time in the world to catch up with each other."We broke up," Diana announced, getting right to the point. I wished that I could say that I was surprised by this unfortunate development of events, but in reality, it would be more accurate for me to say that I saw this coming from miles away. Ever since the moment that I was told me that she had eloped with

"It's all my fault that you ended up marrying that monster!" she yelled before she went straight back to crying. I pulled her into my arms and hugged her tightly in my desperate attempt to comfort her. Diana broke down in my arms, and after crying her heart and eyes out for a very long time, she finally lost all her energy and ended up falling asleep right on my hospital bed.She called him a monster...**A few days later**I haven't seen either Bradon or Desmond since my sister's arrival. At first, I truly enjoyed having my sister back by my side and spending time with her, slowly catching up on the things that we had missed out on in each other's lives after being apart for so long. After witnessing my sister's emotional breakdown, we both conveniently avoided discussing my sham of a marriage to Bradon and my plan to assist Desmond. Instead, we spent our days in the hospital room, sharing small talk about pleasant topics, such as the current fashion trend and popular celebrities. We

**A few days later**"Why don't we go out for a walk in the garden?" Diana suggested. "The weather is nice today, and I think you could use some fresh air."It was very unfortunate that I was still stuck in the hospital. What was worse was that I had no idea about my potential date of discharge, and that was because I couldn't get in touch with the person who was supposed to be in charge of my fate regarding that matter. With Diana in the way, I had no way to reach Bradon, let alone see him. Whenever I tried to bring up anything related to Bradon, I would earn a disapproving glare from my sister before she would rapidly change the topic of conversation."Sure, that sounds like a good idea. I have no idea how much longer I'll be stuck here. I mean, there's nothing wrong with me, and I am completely healthy," I told my sister as we readied ourselves to go for a walk.The good thing about the hospital is that it has a very large garden and also a few rehabilitation centers where patients

She narrowed her eyes at me suspiciously but decided to hold her tongue so that she could hear me out. "Well, you're not entirely wrong, and things were very difficult between us at first. He truly lived up to his fame when we first met, but even then, he helped me out as well when our parents were unkind to me. I know it's hard to believe, but he stood up for me and protected me from them," I said as I also recalled the day that it happened. Diana had a very surprised look on her face, and I could tell that she was finding it extremely hard to believe that what I was telling her was true. "I know that it's very hard to believe. Even I couldn't believe it at first when it happened, and honestly, I thought that he was doing it because he was simply annoyed with our parents. But when I look back on it, I am pretty sure that he did all of that to help me," I said with a firm nod."Are you sure about this?" Diana asked as she began frowning."I know that it's hard for you to believe, b

"Regardless of whether or not we can find Anthony, I can't let you get any more involved with Bradon," Diana said decisively. I could tell where she was coming from, but she had just made one very great mistake. I wasn't about to let her decide what I was going to do with my future and my life. Even if she was my only sister, my life still belonged to me and me alone."I don't know about that. I still want to make my own decisions, Dina," I said before mustering a smile."Why are you so hesitant to give him up? Is sex with him really that good?" she asked teasingly, grinning at me. Her eyes sparkled as if daring me to answer her ridiculous question. "It's beyond amazing," I replied after deciding not to avoid the truth.…"If the man you ended up marrying isn't Anthony, then where is the real Anthony?" Diana asked a question that I had been wondering for the longest time but failed to find the answer to. "I don't know. I tried my best to find him, but no matter who I ask, they would

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
Substitute Wife for the Mafia King Emergency
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
