The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 17
Mia's POV"Allen Walker." A man called out as we walked into the exquisitely furnished hall. He wore a dark blue tux and his wavy blonde hair was neatly gelled backwards, he was handsome and he knew it. He held his shoulders high as he walked towards us with confidence in every stride. Allen's hand tightened around my waist which made me wonder who the man was."Who is he?" I leaned closer to him and whispered, but he didn't answer, he kept staring at the man until he finally stopped in front of us."Austin." Allen said with a bored expression on his face. The man's expression was quite the opposite of Allen. His handsome face lit up with a smile as his gray eyes moved from Allen to me."It's been a while, brother." He said as he extended his arm for a handshake. Brother? I thought Allen was the only child of his parents.Allen removed his hand from my waist and shook Austin without uttering a word."Mom told me about your wedding. It's a shame I missed all the drama. I've been busy

Mia's POVMy plan was about to get ruined by Allen. He wasn't supposed to stare at Sophie like that. Like he missed her, like he wanted to be with her instead of me, like he wished she hadn't cheated on, or maybe it was just my imagination. "Hi, Allen." Sophie said in a gentle voice as she stood up and reached out to hug him.I frowned and moved between them, facing Allen. I placed my hands on his chest so I could gain his attention. And when he was finally looking at me, I smiled and hugged him."I didn't want to distract you while talking to your business associates so I came here to get something to drink." I told him while I rested my head on his chest, listening to the wild beating of his heart.When I saw that he didn't play along or make any move to hug me back, I looked up and saw him already staring at Sophie again. I pushed myself away from him in frustration and grabbed my purse."When you are done staring at her, I'll be in the car waiting for you." I said in an irritated

Allen’s POVWhen I saw Austin holding Mia, I didn’t know what came over me. I had nothing against him, I just didn’t like anyone touching what was mine. I had always been possessive, even when I was with Sophie. Speaking of Sophie, I knew she would come tonight. In fact, she had sent me hundreds of texts, asking me to give her a chance to explain herself, apologizing and asking me to take her back. I might forgive her, but I would never take her back.I watched as Mia took off her heels as soon as we stepped into the house. She sighed in relief and stretched her feet before walking towards her room. I walked slowly behind her, watching the way her hips moved in the tight dress. She looked sexy as hell in that dress and it was doing things to me.I almost couldn’t control myself when I hugged her earlier. I didn’t know what was wrong with me but I didn’t want to let her go. I had jerked off twice after I saw her naked in the pool. I couldn’t lock away the picture of her naked from my m

Mia's POVI opened my eyes and let out a yawn. I felt a bit of a headache but it wasn't really affecting me since I didn't drink much last night. I stretched my hands out beside me and felt my hand touch something, no it was someone. I quickly retracted my hands and stayed quiet. My heart was beating unsteadily while I listened to the person's steady breathing.'Oh no! I hope it's not who I think it is, I hope it's the wall that moved closer to my bed and is breathing.' I thought to myself before slowly turning my head to look beside me.I froze.A shirtless Allen was sleeping peacefully beside me. How the hell did he get here? What was he doing in my room? And why was he shirtless?Wait, this wasn't my room. My bed was not as big as this. I gasped when it hit me. I was in Allen's room. It was me who came to meet him.But why? I almost groaned in frustration, I couldn't remember anything that happened last night.I pulled the covers from my body and saw that I was naked. My muscles f

Mia's POVOur fake honeymoon was over and we were back to New York. I couldn't help but notice that Allen had been distant since the day I rambled off to him. He always went to work before I even woke up and came back when I had gone to bed at night. I felt lonely and bored in this big house, Penelope barely came by because she was only meant to assist me when we had an event or outing. Kara had been busy with school, so there was no one to keep me company. I have been watching movies, eating and sleeping for three weeks now. I was gradually getting tired of this boring life. But today I decided to do something different. Jerry would be teaching me how to cook. As much as I hated cooking, it was a way of passing time, it was better than doing nothing productive all day.I woke up early this morning, had a bubble bath, put on some comfortable clothes and made my way to the kitchen. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee assaulted my nostrils as I entered, I inhaled deeply and sighed in r

Mia's POVWhen Allen came back with my breakfast, he stayed until I finished eating before leaving. He had gone back to work, so I laid down on my bed, ready to sleep. But then I heard a knock on the door and the person opened it. I thought Allen had left, what was he doing here again? I turned to ask him why he came back again but saw that it was Penelope. She was standing in my room with a wicker basket. I smiled at her as she walked closer to my bed."Pen. It's so good to see you." I moved my legs away from the edge so she could sit there."Yeah, how've you been?" She asked me. I noticed how she carefully placed the basket on my bed. A small colorful cloth was used to cover what was inside it, making me curious. "Well, you know. I've been sleeping and waking up in this lonely house, been bored all day, with no one to talk to. I feel like loneliness will be the cause of my death." I said dramatically. Penelope laughed for a moment, it was the first time I was seeing her laugh. I

Mia’s POVI texted Kara that night and asked if she would be free to join me for a little shopping. She agreed, she told me she was totally free so there was no reason for her not to go. I picked out the cloth I was going to wear and wrote some things I wanted to buy before retiring for the night.The next morning, when I went down for breakfast, Jerry apologized for what happened yesterday but I told him not to worry about it. It wasn’t really a big deal, and besides, my toes were healing. Allen made sure to check it before he left for work this morning.“So, should I come and meet you there?” Kara asked me over the phone, she sounded so cheery and I couldn’t help but smile.“There’s no need for that. I’ll ask Connor to pick you up before we go to the mall.” I told her as I checked my outfit in the mirror for the last time. I wore a black tank top, faded blue jeans and black sandals. I picked up my black sunglasses and perched it on my hair. I looked nothing like a billionaire’s wife

Mia's POVMy heart pounded in my chest as I thought of how Allen would feel when he saw the amount we've spent on his phone. The limo was filled up with shopping bags and Kara was ranting about a particular bag she wanted to buy but they didn't have the color she wanted and that after eating, we should go to another mall and see if they have it."Mia, are you even listening?" Kara snapped her fingers in my face to gain my attention. "What are you thinking?""What if the card reaches its limit? We've spent more than two million dollars, Kara!" I freaked out. Saying the total amount made me realize how much we had spent. I bit my nails nervously, 'What will Allen think of me now? He'll think that all I want is his money." "Relax, Mia. I'm sure that amount means nothing to him. It seems you're forgetting that your husband is a billionaire." Kara said. She looked so relaxed and unaffected. She wasn't the one who would face Allen at home.I looked at the shopping bags and shook my head in

Mia’s POVMy boots clicked on the ground as I slowly made my way out of the lecture hall along with the rest of the students. It had been a hectic day, I had been moving from one class to another. Going back to school and picking up from where I had dropped out hasn’t been easy, but I knew I made the right choice. My phone rang in my bag so I stopped to pick the call, it was Allen. I smiled as I picked the call and pressed the phone to my ear.“Hey, babe.” I said as I rested my back on the wall, inspecting the ring on my finger. Allen and I got married again a month after he proposed to me. Our lives had been a lot better than when we were still married by contract. “Baby, when will you be home?” his deep voice questioned through the phone. My smiled widened when I felt my heart leapt in my chest at the sound of his voice. Yeah, he still had that effect on me.“I’m done with my classes for today so I will be home anytime soon.” I informed him. I had texted Connor as soon as the lec

Mia’s POV”It was you this whole time?” I asked as I stood up slowly. I felt betrayed, I felt like my heart was being stabbed with a knife repeatedly and it was being torn to pieces.I was shocked that my best friend, the only person I fully trusted, was the one who posted the video and the pictures, she was also the one who had been threatening me with the contract.“I did it for you.” Kara responded as she buried her face in her palms.I gaped at her, “You did it for me? What the hell is that suppose to mean?” I yelled.“I did it because I started to feel lonely after Andrew and I broke up.” She explained as she started to cry.“That’s not an excuse to ruin my life or Allen’s!!”“You don’t understand the pain of someone you love breaking up with you because you’ve never been in any serious relationship. I found out Andrew has been cheating on me with Sophie the same day she went to seduce Allen, I visited her and saw her watching a video she recorded. I stole it because I didn’t wan

Mia’s POVI was anything but relaxed as we drove further away from Allen’s house. I looked back and there was no sight of him on the road. I collapsed on the seat and released a breath I didn’t know I was holding.“Thank you, Kara.” I muttered as I slowly shut my eyes.”Any time, boo.” Kara responded.My eyes snapped open as I thought of something, “How did you know I needed help and how did you even know this place.” I didn’t recall ever telling Kara the address of the new house I was staying in, and I didn’t remember telling her that I would eventually run away today, I only told her I was going to think about it, so how did she figure it out?Kara remained quiet for a while before she finally spoke, “Mia, Your husband is a billionaire and a business tycoon, everything about him is on the internet.”Oh! That was true. I nodded my head, agreeing with Kara.“The number of houses he has, his private jets, his net worth, and so many other things. I just searched for the one that has th

Mia’s POVI threw my purse on the bed and slammed the door shut. I grabbed a pillow and screamed into it. That woman could have just told me the name of the person instead of going through corners with me. I tried my hair into a ponytail and tried to relax, but my phone started to ring, making me grab it hastily, thinking it was Sophie, but it was Kara calling me. I picked the call, put it on speaker and collapsed on the bed.“Hey, girl. What are you up to?” Her voice boomed through the speaker.“I just came back from seeing Sophie.” I informed her.“Wait, you went to meet Sophie? Why?” She inquired.“Well, she wanted to talk to me so I went to meet her.” I said in a bored tone. I rolled over on the bed until I was lying on my stomach.“What did she talk about?”“She only apologized for all the things she has done before, and she said she wasn’t the one who posted the video and the picture and apparently, she has discovered the person.” I explained to her.Kara became silent for a whi

Mia's POVAllen went to work after assuring me that we were going to discuss when he gets back. Apparently, the person who knocked only wanted to let him know that Ian was waiting for him downstairs, she almost ended up getting fired.I ate my breakfast and went back to my room, only because none of the maids wanted to stay around me since Allen’s outburst this morning. I had my bath and decided to watch a movie since I had nothing else to do. I was halfway through the movie when I received a text from my phone. I was half scared and half curious to open it. When I eventually had the courage to check it, I was surprised to see it was a message from Sophie, and this time it wasn’t a threat.Sophie: This is Sophie Gallagher. Is there any chance we can meet up and talk today? I don’t want Allen to know about this.I blink, then read the message again. She wanted to talk to me? About what? And why didn’t she want Allen to know, that’s kinda suspicious. I didn’t want to go but my curiosity

Mia's POVMy heart skipped in my chest as I tried not to seem like I was desperate."Yeah, sure." I said slowly. "Is it just me or is it hot in here?" I asked as I fanned my face with my hands, my cheeks started to turn red as I tried not to look at his chest. Allen stared at me in a confused way."Umm, I have to go get some water to drink." I told him, before I rushed out of the room.Phew! I didn't have to make it obvious that he had a huge effect on me. I just couldn't help myself around him.I almost got lost on my way to the kitchen but I eventually found it. As I grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge, my phone vibrated.I sat on a stool and quickly checked the text I got, thinking it was from Kara, but my heart almost jumped out of my chest when I read it.Unknown: If you know what's good for you, you'll leave that house before I destroy both you and Allen Walker.I threw my phone at the counter and stared at it like it was a strange object. Who on earth would send me a tex

Mia’s POVI sat in the coffee room, sipping the hot coffee Jerry made for me. Allen had gone out very early this morning because things were chaotic at his company. Some of the investors had been questioning him about the new article, even his parents had been calling him since he turned on his phone this morning.I heard footsteps getting closer to the coffee room and I assumed he was back, but when I turned to look at the person, it was Ian.“Hi, it’s been a while.” He said as he stood a few feet away from me.“Hey, where’s Allen?” I asked him as I placed my coffee on the table.“He’s busy at the moment. He asked me to tell you to pack a few things you might need for a week and follow me.” He informed me.“Wait, I don’t understand. Where are we going?” I asked him.He sighed when he noticed my confusion.“This house has probably been bugged by Sophie. Who knows what pictures or videos she might post next time. It is better to move to a new place for some time.” He explained. “Oh!”
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 41
Allen’s POV“Oh no, what did she do this time?” Mia asked as she got down from the counter and walked closer to me. Her lips were still pink and swollen from the kiss we just had. Hell, I should have just ignored Ian’s call and continued with her. I showed her the pictures that were posted online by an anonymous person, which was obviously Sophie's work. They were pictures of my room and Mia’s room. The anonymous person stated that our marriage was fake because we were staying in separate rooms.“How did she even get the pictures?” Mia asked, her mouth was widely open in surprise.“She took the pictures the day she came here. Damn it! I am going to destroy her.” I said as I felt anger coursing through my veins. “I will be right back.” I informed Mia before storming out of the kitchen.I got out of the penthouse and went down to the parking lot, I entered one of my cars and drove across the streets. I only had one destination in mind, Sophie’s house. As soon as I got to her house, I r

Mia’s POV“I’ve known for a while.” She said in a solemn voice.My mouth fell open and I just stared at her, not knowing what to say.“When did you find out?” I questioned.“It doesn’t matter anymore.” Kara mumbled.“Wait, so you are telling me you know Andrew has been cheating on you and you didn’t tell me?” I asked her, somewhat offended. She pulled her hands from mine and turned away from me.“You were dealing with your problems too, Mia. Allen almost cheated on you too, remember? And before that, you were always complaining about being so lonely. It wouldn't be fair to add my problems to yours” She explained quietly.Oh my! I had always choked Kara with my problems and didn’t bother to know if she had problems too, I always assumed she was fine since she didn’t tell me anything.“I’m sorry for making you think that way, Kara. But you still should have told me, don’t tell me you dealt with the heartbreak on your own.”“Well, I had no choice.” She laughed a little, it wasn’t a gen
