Substitute Wife for the Mafia King Away from the World
‘You told me that he was beyond amazing in bed. Maybe I should see for myself whether or not that is true…’My sister's teasing words came back to me, and they never felt so threatening as they did at that moment. Although I knew that she wasn't purely joking about it, I also didn't think that she would end up acting on it either. I also never counted on something like that happening when the two of them were left alone together while I was out doing Diana a favor. I was beyond angry at my sister and her lack of restraint, but then I realized that Diana had always been this way. I just never thought that she would seduce Bradon given the fact that she knew about my relationship with him. That thought gave me pause, as I wondered what kind of relationship I actually have with Bradon. After all, just as my sister correctly pointed out, I wasn't his real wife, and we were not really married. The fact remained that, despite all of our sexual relations, there wasn't supposed to be any rom

I wondered what Bradon was doing and if the two of them just continued on where they had left off after I practically ran out of the room. Now that my sister had returned, it felt like there was no room for me anymore. I felt like no one wanted or needed me anymore and once again I was reminded of the fact that perhaps I was nothing more than a spare and a stand-in for my sister. The only person who wanted me and was a little dependent on me was Desmond, with his twisted idea of how to incorporate me into his grand scheme."I guess it might rain all night," I mumbled to myself. The sound of the rain beating down echoed all around me to the extent that I could barely hear myself. Strangely, despite the loud sound of the wind and rain, I managed to find some peace and solace. I leaned back and let out a loud sigh before closing my eyes as if it would help erase everything from my mind. The only relief to the pain was the fact that I knew that I would not be disturbed and until I felt li

Slowly, as if he was taking care to make sure that everything would work out perfectly, his hand reached out to capture the side of my face before his lips slowly inched closer to mine.He's going to kiss me...I thought that I had been brought under a binding spell as his lips approached mine. It felt like everything that I had been waiting for and dreaming of was about to come true at that very moment. It felt like if our lips met, my life would take a drastic turn for the better. For a moment everything just felt so right; however, in the very next instance it felt like everything was spiraling out of my control. My body stiffened and refused to move the way that I wanted to as if every fiber of my being was resisting what was about to come. My mind struggled to understand the feelings swirling in the depths of my heart and the way that my body was behaving. Anthony was about to kiss me, but for some strange reason that I did not understand, I didn't desire his kiss."I... I..." I

I felt so lucky that he found me, and I was so happy that I couldn't stop crying, although I was certain that Brandon never thought that I was crying tears of joy as he held me in his arms."Stop crying now, Dahlia. I'm here and everything is going to be alright," he said, as if he had already forgotten that the reason I ran out of the hospital in the first place was because I caught him making out with my sister. That recollection made my entire body stiffen in his arms. Bradon must have felt the change in me as well because he slowly let go of me before holding me at arm's length so that he could peer into my face. "Dahlia," he called my name softly as he reached his hand slowly towards my face. I knew instinctively that he wanted to wipe my tears away, and although I appreciated that gentle and caring gesture, I couldn't bear for him to see my tear-streaked face. I quickly turned away before wiping away my own tears with the back of my hands. "Please don't look at me," I mumbled.

“Stop talking nonsense, Dahlia,” Bradon warned.“Then, why don't you answer my question? I asked you if Anthony told you about this place,” I asked him again, although I knew pretty well that he wouldn't answer my question. After all, Bradon never answered any questions that I asked him about Anthony. It was like Anthony was a topic that was off-limits between us, and asking and talking about him became taboo. Bradon stared at me in silence as if he was deciding what he wanted to do to me. For a moment, I was truly convinced that he was going to lift me up and carry me over his shoulders like a sack of cargo, and my body stiffened just at the thought.“He didn’t tell me anything,” Bradon replied so softly that at first, I wasn’t sure if I had imagined it all.“What did you just say?” I asked while focusing my attention entirely on him.Bradon seemed to hesitate to say anything more and I could feel my frustration rising up uncontrollably in my chest. “He didn’t tell you anything?” I
Last Updated : 2024-06-03Substitute Wife for the Mafia King Acknowledging My Feelings
My body reacted purely on instinct as I wrapped my arms around his neck to pull him closer to me so that I could kiss him back even more boldly than before. The moment of realization felt so certain that it shocked me and scared me at the same time. I asked myself what would happen if I was wrong about all this, but the answer that I received was that there was nothing to fear because I truly didn't believe that I could ever get it wrong this time around. The sweet and endearing kiss that we shared felt like that first kiss that we shared, and it felt like I was finally getting what I had always hoped for. I knew without a doubt in that moment that I wanted him so desperately that I probably couldn't go on living if I couldn't have him.Bradon pressed his lips roughly against mine as our kiss quickly deepened. I parted my lips invitingly, and he slipped his hot, wet tongue into the depths of my mouth without hesitation, as if he had been eagerly waiting for my approval. His heat fille

My lips curved into a bittersweet smile when I realized that perhaps I was bound to fall in love with him regardless.I love him..."I guess I would have called you a liar, but it all makes sense now..." I murmured to myself."I don't have any reason to lie to you about this," he said with absolute certainty. Strangely enough, I found it all too easy to believe that his words were sincere."Then what was I..." I started before trailing off into silence. It felt like the gears that were slowly turning finally fell into place, and I could finally connect the dots. My mood immediately made a 180-degree turn, and a laugh that sounded so ridiculous escaped from between my lips. Bradon looked at me with clear confusion, and I could tell that he wasn't quite following the sudden change in my reaction. I couldn't believe that it took me so long to realize that my twin sister had started playing a game with me without me knowing it. Perhaps this game had started much earlier than I thought. Ev

Once again, I managed to surprise Bradon, but I hoped that this time it was a pleasant surprise. The shape of his beautiful lips slowly transformed into a smile before he gave me his answer."If you want me to be yours, then I'm all yours. It's as simple as that," he replied. Bradon probably never could have imagined just how pleased I was with his answer. However, when he slowly leaned in and his lips approached mine, I felt the sudden urge to tease him just a little bit more. "But you're supposed to be married to my sister," I pointed out without hiding my dissatisfaction.Even though I was only teasing him, the way that Bradon seemed to freeze right in front of me told me that he was taking my words more seriously than I had expected."Your sister and my brother have nothing to do with this. You and I are the ones who got married. It was you and I who were in the church and exchanged our vows. It was you and I who lived together as a married couple under the same roof and shared t

"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
Substitute Wife for the Mafia King Living Nightmare
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
Substitute Wife for the Mafia King Lost Control
"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.
Substitute Wife for the Mafia King Crash and Burn
Not having the experience of being a criminal before, I wasn't quite sure how one was supposed to be treated, but the experiences that I went through might have indeed been close. I thought that I was used to disappointing my parents and the people around me. I thought that I was used to seeing the look of disappointment and disapproval in their eyes before it became a look of resentment and then complete apathy and lack of care. I thought that I could deal with everything without getting my emotions involved because, after all, I was supposed to be used to this kind of treatment, and that was why I was caught utterly off guard by how quickly things escalated.Thinking back on it, my memories were quite blurry. Either it was simply too much for me to take in at the time for my brain to form any clear memories, or it was simply too shocking and too harsh for me to take. Either way, everything seemed to fly by me and over my head.Although every single teacher and the principal tried to

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

"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
