The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 6
Mia's POV"Should I call him or not?" I asked myself as I paced about the room, the card Allen had given me was tightly squeezed in my hands as I thought of what to do.There was a high possibility that it was him who paid for it. Kara wouldn't do something I asked her not to do. If it was him who paid my debts, was he the one who also rented the house so I could be chased out and would have no choice but to run to him? He was more desperate than I thought.I typed his number on my phone and dialed it. It rang twice before he picked up."Hello." His deep voice filtered through the phone, sending chills through my spine. I was suddenly nervous to speak."Hi, this is Mia." I said after I had cleared my throat."Oh! I've been expecting your call. Have you made your decision?" He asked, his voice sounded so calm and I hated it, there was nothing calm about the situation he had out me in."Yes. But first, I want to ask you something.""Go ahead.""Was it you that paid my rent?" I asked as

Mia's POV"Where is my room?" I asked, not beating around the bush. I wasn't going to sit with him and chit chat all day, I bet he didn't have time for that either."You look eager." He said as he placed the wine glass on a table in front of him. Really? Was he serious? I looked eager? My expression was the complete opposite of eagerness."Your room is upstairs. The room you slept in yesterday. Come down after freshening up, we have things to discuss." With that, he walked up the stairs, leaving me alone.I huffed as I dragged my suitcase across the room and headed for the room I slept in yesterday. I opened the door and saw that the room had been tidied up. It was in a cleaner state than when I left it this morning.I opened the wardrobe and found it empty. I was too tired to arrange my clothes right now, so I closed the door and picked out a pink shorts and white tank top, dropped them on the bed, then I headed to the bathroom for a quick shower.I wrapped my wet hair in a towel af

Mia's POV"You know how much I despise cheating and yet you went ahead and cheated on me." Allen continued. I wanted to know what Sophie was saying so badly, I wanted to hear her pleas. I wanted to know if she sounded genuinely sorry or not."I don't know if I can ever forgive you for this. I don't want to have anything to do with you again, goodbye." He said and ended the call. I felt a bit sorry for him when he ran his hand through his hair and almost pulled them out of their roots. Should I go in and comfort him? No, I think it was best if I didn't, it was part of the rules of the contract to stay out of each other's businesses. Allen was a big man, he can handle himself.I noticed he was about to turn around, so I quickly tiptoed away from the place and hurried up the stairs to my room. I shut the door softly and rested on the door for a while. Then I heard Allen's footsteps approaching, my heart beat erratically in my chest as I rested on the door. When he got to the front of

Mia's POV"Good morning, Mr Walker." Jerry greeted him, but I noticed he didn't bow.Allen ignored him and he pressed a kiss on my left cheek. I froze again. "Good morning, baby." He said in a low, deep voice.Baby? What the hell was going on with him this morning? Did he wake up on the wrong side of the bed? Then I remembered one of the rules of the contract. We had to pretend to be real couples in front of other people. I looked up at him and saw him staring at me with one of his brows raised. His eyes swept all over my body and it stayed on my legs for a while before moving to my chest. I looked down and registered that I was only wearing my white tank top, nothing else. I wasn't even putting on a bra, which made my nipples poke out through the thin white fabric and my big boobs were almost popping out of the sides of the tank top."Oh shit!" I cried out in horror as I wrapped my arms around my chest. No wonder Jerry couldn't look at me. The poor guy could have been fired for loo

Mia's POVA smile appeared on my face as I kept staring at the paper and the dress. Allen put this here, I knew that. But why was I smiling like an idiot?"Get your shit together, Mia." I smacked my cheeks so many times before I picked my phone so I could text Kara.Me: Hey.I waited for a while but she didn't text back, so I stripped off my clothes and went to the bathroom for a nice long bath. I used the strawberry shampoo to wash my hair before coming out of the bathroom. I heard my phone ringing so I rushed over to my bed to pick it. I smiled when I saw that it was Kara. I mean, who else would call me?"Hey, what's up." I said as I put the phone on speaker and placed it on the table."I'm fine. I just came back from a class and Andrew left this morning. I'm so bored right now. Can you ask Allen if I can come and visit you today? I miss my best friend.""Aww, you can't come today. We are going to LA for our honeymoon." I told her as I applied lotion on my body."What? You guys are

Mia's POVAs soon as we entered the car, Allen's hand was off my body like I was dirt. The scowl on his face was so evident that I swallowed hard as Connor shut the door, waiting for his next action."I told you not to say anything." He said in a harsh voice as he turned to look at me. I avoided his gaze and maintained my composure so he wouldn't think I was affected by him."But I had to say something." I replied to him, finally meeting his gaze."No, you didn't have to say anything." "Really? Because if I had decided not to say anything, we would still be out there with those reporters and they'd keep asking you questions about Sophie, which was clearly affecting you-""That's none of your business." He stated coldly, his eyes matching his voice. I pretended I was unbothered despite my racing heart. "Why? I'm your wife, shouldn't I be helping you with all these things? Do you want the public to know that you're still in love with your ex even though you're married to me?" "Get th

Mia's POV"Do you want me to get one for you?" Allen's voice was soft as he spoke, his thumbs continued to trace circles on my hands and my eyes stayed glued to our locked fingers. "A cat?""Yeah, do you want one?" He asked again, his grip on my hands tightened. I glanced at him and met with his hazel eyes, staring at me like I was a piece of art. A little shiver worked its way down my back and I remained tongue tied. Allen raised a brow at me, expecting me to give him an answer, I opened my mouth to talk but nothing seemed to come out."I'm sorry to interrupt, but here are your drinks." The flight attendant said as she stood beside Allen. I immediately yanked my hands from Allen's grip like I had been caught doing something bad. I gave her a warm smile and grabbed my orange juice, "Thank you." I told her, before taking a sip from it. Allen dismissed her after he had taken his glass of champagne. I felt his eyes on me but I refused to look at him. I brushed a non-existing strand of

Mia's POVI turned towards the other side of the soft bed and pulled the plush pillow towards my chest. I smiled in content and sank further into the bed. The bed was exactly like the one in my room, at Allen's penthouse, except this one had more pillows.Since we got to LA and ate an early dinner, I had gone straight to bed after a quick shower. I had to explain to Allen that I was tired after the flight and just wanted to rest when he started to talk about the details of the event we would be going to. And now I was awake and it wasn't even morning yet.I grabbed my phone to check the time and saw that it was just twelve o'clock in the midnight. I decided to listen to some music, hoping that it would make me feel sleepy again. But I started to feel thirsty, so I left my room, closing the door quietly behind me so I wouldn't wake Allen, who was sleeping in the room next to mine. I tiptoed and walked past his room, his light was off so he was probably asleep. I walked into the kitchen

The Billionaire's Substitute Bride Bonus Chapter
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
