The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 111. Heartbeat
Hendrix."Did you have fun?" I put on my best smile as I opened the car door. She steps out, smiling a little tipsy."I did. Your mother is kind. I can't believe you fooled her. And I can't believe I'm such a good actress." She chuckled softly, and I embraced her from the other side.Mother and she had a good time talking. I did not know their conversations, but they seemed okay. She had a few drinks with my mother, and now she's drunk. This is my mother's way of getting to know what a person is like. She will get them to drink until they tell everything.I led her inside, and she held my hand tightly."How much did you drink?" My jaw tightened. She removed her shoes and flicked them to the side. I chuckled quietly. She removed her boots and flicked them to the side. I chuckled."Your mother kept offering me a drink, and I couldn't refuse her. How did she know my favorite drink? Did you ask her to get me drunk, to be honest about everything between us?" She shook her head, giggled, a

Hendrix."Your mother is not blind, Hendrix. She knows, of course. What do you expect?"I assisted Elle with her task of applying gold lining thread on the side cover of each book. I was about to visit her at home. Luckily, I called before driving to their mansion. Axton is not at home because her husband just returned from Greece, and the two are spending the day bonding together."Be honest, Hendrix, and listen to your heart. Pretending to be Louise’s fiancé is a mistake. You will only end up hurting her. Trust me."I chuckled and shook my head. My hands were busy doing the same thing as hers, but my ears were all hers as I listened."This isn't a good joke, Hendrix. If you're doing this because of what she did, then forget about it! You need to move on." She whirled halfway and reached for another gold thread."A contract is a contract, Elle. This is my business," I smirked."Really? A business, huh?" She laughs a little bit."You are impossible. It's obvious that Louise has no ot
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 113. What am I to you?
Louise Rose.What was that for?My forehead creased as I looked at the dead screen of my cell phone. That was not like him. He is not rude, but that was unexpected.Hang on? Did I offend him when I sent back the money to his account?I gasped, covering my mouth. That must be it! Oh my God.I kept pacing back and forth, glancing at the time on the clock. It's not too late yet. It's only eight o'clock, and my assumption is that Hendrix will be here any minute and will throw a tantrum like a child.Dang it.After ten minutes, there's a knock on my door, and my heart bangs harder. I hope it's not him. I hope it's not Hendrix, but who will be coming to my place at this hour?Shella can't. She always rings me whenever she wants to sleep for the night or lets me know ahead of time.Oh, heck."Coming!" I swallowed hard, holding the knob, getting ready to open it."Oh, Hendrix? What can I do with tonight?" As expected, it was him. I felt the cold wind hit my system when our eyes met.His cold
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 114. Desire
Louise Rose."So, what do you want me to do? I already give you back your money. I don't want it, Hendrix! I know it was all my fault, but I don't want to go further with what you want anymore. I'm sorry," I mumbled, facing down.He rested both of his hands on his hips and did not move."I'm not going to accept this. Give me four more weeks, Louise. That's all I want."With a flickering butterfly feeling, I jerked my head to see his face, and my heart melted.His warm, soft stare made my body into jelly straight away. He seemed sad as if he was asking me to take him and give him another chance at this. I can't help but look at him in the same way."Louise. . ." he whispered and closed the distance between us.I stepped back a little bit, but I was trapped against the wall in my back, and I could only gasp warmly when Hendrix's gaze came down to my lips."Damn this," he mumbled, and I shut my eyes.Partly, I felt his lips on mine, and the electrifying feeling of wanting to envelop me.
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 115. After effect
Louise Rose.I rolled over and felt him beside me. I opened my eyes, and reality hit me hard.Shit. What the hell did we just do?Embarrassment crawled all over me, and I slowly rolled away from him, not wanting him to wake up. As I stumbled out of bed, my body almost fell to the floor. Once I got up, I hurried straight to the bathroom to fix myself.Shit. Oh, dear God. My goodness!What the heck just happened? My goodness, me. What am I gonna do now? Think. Think, Louise!It's not even six o'clock, and the sky is clear. Although the sun hasn't risen yet, I can escape this by opening the flower stall as early as possible.Yes. That's definitely the best excuse I could do to save myself from this shit. I have no courage to face him now.I quickly grabbed my things and my car keys. The moment I got out of the house, I ran towards my car to go to the shop.I yawned as I arranged the last flower in the vase. Canor, the owner of the little convenience shop, is not yet here, and only Gary,
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 116. That one-night-stand
Hendrix.Like a man, I stop at the flower stall, hoping she is there. I get out of my car, feeling nervous. My heart pounds harder than ever before. I've carefully thought about the right words to say because I don't want to mess this up. I hope she will listen to me."Oh, hello, Mr. Hendrix," a bubbly voice greeted me. She wore the wildest smile. My eyes quickly scanned the shop, and my heart sank.Louise is not here. It's not her."Is Louise. . .""Oh, she will be back in two. I'm Shella. Her childhood friend." She extended her hand, and I nodded as I accepted hers."Hendrix Mondragon," I introduced."I know. We all know!" She clasped her hands together, seeming excited to see me."Louise is at the care clinic where her Aunt Rosy is staying.""I see. . . Then, I will be back," I said and excused myself.I returned to my car and sighed. Feeling frustrated, I realized I couldn't find peace without talking to her today. I need to communicate with her and sort this out."Thank you, Bra
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 117. Getting to know
Louise Rose.Does he like me? Really? For real?I could feel my heart pounding fiercely, and I couldn’t deny it. It’s flattering to hear that from him because I hadn’t expected it.When I saw the money back in my bank account this morning, I was disappointed. I thought what happened last night was special and that he held me for something special. I got angry and swore that I would really kick his balls hard once I saw him. But that did not happen because here he is standing mighty in front of me.I know he is a man. A man who has needs and wants. He was probably doing that out of lust, like most of the majority. They fuck, mess around, and then pay.But now, hearing him tell me that he likes me was unexpected. I did not see this coming.I took a deep breath as we gazed at each other. My heart was pounding heavily inside my chest. He tilted his head slightly before meeting my gaze with a warm smile."Louise, I need you," he says, his voice pleading. He purrs."Oh, I see. . ." I blink

Hendrix.“So, what happened to you? What’s new?” Elle’s excitement is written all over her face.“Not much,” I shrug and sit down.After yesterday’s events, I organized my schedule and set aside all appointments while keeping my lunch schedule with Louise daily. I haven’t spoken to the boys yet, and I haven’t visited my mother since the family gathering. She wants to talk to me, and I understand her concern. However, I don’t want to go there just yet as I want to focus on Louise and myself.“Are you sure? Your mother rang me like five times! I don’t know what’s happening with you. She kept asking me about Louise, and I didn’t know how to respond,” she sighed.My jaw tightened. “I will visit her later. Don’t worry.”“Good. Give her peace of mind, please, Hendrix. She’s driving me insane at times. She’s worse than my mother,” she laughs. “By the way, have you found your G-Dragon?”That was another problem I had because I couldn’t find it until now. I shook my head, and she handed me th

The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 132. G-Dragon
Louise Rose.A beauty like no other. There are no similarities between them, but I can tell how close they are to each other. Their closeness is undeniable.“Oh please, Hendrix. Don’t be so dramatic. This design will perfectly fit Louise. She’s gorgeous.” Elle looked at me with a sense of contentment.I feel comfortable with her. She’s not what I expected. I thought I would have a hard time because most people born into very wealthy families tend to be perfectionists. But not Elle. She's enjoyable to be with, straightforward, sincere, and beautiful. In fact, she doesn't care about brands and prefers simple clothing.“The side slit is too high. They could almost see her thigh, Elle,” Hendrix complained.“We can always adjust it. Tsk,” Elle shook her head. "That’s it. I’m done with you. I’m not showing you any more designs that Marilou sent. It will be a surprise from now on. You are not allowed to check or decide what we want to wear.” Elle took the brochure out of Hendrix’s hand.“I’
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 131. Happiness
Louise Rose.I couldn't stop myself from smiling. I'm over the moon and hope this happiness will never end soon. But am I afraid of changes? They say you can't be thrilled about much happiness because there's an aftereffect of that.I never believed in that, but now that I'm experiencing this feeling, I'm scared that it may turn bad.I crossed my fingers behind me as I looked at Rosy. She's beautiful today. I visited her early to make sure that she was okay. I can't visit her in the afternoon now, as she gets tired quickly."You are so beautiful, Rosy. I admit you lost a lot of weight, but still pretty as always." I touch the side of her face. She had wrinkles everywhere, and her eyes were soggy. But still, she is the most beautiful in my eyes."Oh, thank you, dear." She sounded weary and had a raspy voice, and her cough gave her a hard time. It sounded so bad."What did your doctor say, Rosy? I want to talk to him. It seems like you're getting thinner each day, and I don't like it."

Hendrix.She’s addicting like a drug. It’s hard to get her out of my system. I become an animal in bed whenever I’m with her. She can transform me into a .naughtbad guy for sex, and it blew me away. I enjoy it. It has never happened to me before. Everything is new, and I’m loving it with her.I thrust slowly, easing in an inch more, and her body rocks forward. “That’s it, love,” I jerk my head a little, quivering.“Can you feel how badly I need you?” I bit my lower lip, and we stared.“Yes…” She shut her eyes, and her head fell back the moment I thrust into her deeper.This is wild. I’m inside her, full, tight, and magical. I kiss her aggressively, and I fucking struggle with control. I don’t want to come yet, not yet. I want her to go first. I want to do that.“Come for me, baby.” I thrust further, and she whimpered into my mouth."Hend…oh…I need more, please.”I smile wickedly, licking my lips. “And you will get it, baby.” Holding her waist, I lift her slightly and begin my ride. H
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 129. What's next?
Louise Rose.What was that? I was sure I heard someone in the background calling him sugar cups?I twisted my lips, looking confused at the dead screen. I sighed as I spun back to what I was doing.I'm at the flower shop in front of Canor's convenience store. Shella has done a lot of work lately, and she's loving it here. She will be staying here in Eden from now on and will officially resign from her previous job. Her fiancé is fine with it. In fact, he believes it's better for them to be this close.It's past five in the afternoon, and it's closing time soon. Rosy seems tired lately, and they can't get her to stay awake after five. The nurses told me that her medication makes her very drowsy and causes her to fall into a deep sleep.I wonder what's wrong with her? I was sure it wasn't that bad. Her doctor mentioned that she’s fine and will get better soon, but the findings are puzzling, given Rosy’s age.I turn the lights off and shut the shop's door. I still have an hour to prepar
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 128. Back to my queen
Hendrix.What the hell?Steph hugged me tightly, and I tried to move away, but I was cornered."I miss you so much! I'm glad you're here, Hendrix," she whispered, holding onto me tightly."Steph… hang on," I said as I tried to escape her. I was still holding my phone, and Louise was still on the line."Hey, Louise, can I call you back later, babe? Bye," I sighed and ended the call. Steph's hugs were suffocating."Oh? Are you on the call with someone?" She relaxed a little and sat down on my lap, wrapping her arms around my neck. I checked my phone screen to ensure it was off."I need to…" I pushed her gently and stood up. I walked toward the door, eager to leave my office. My two secretaries stood at their desks and looked at me. I gave them a questioning glance, and Santa nodded toward me."Don't give the girls a hard time, sweetie. They already told me that you are on an important call, but I want to surprise you. There's nothing wrong with that, right?" She follows me closely as I

Louise Rose.Now I know.So, Hendrix's mother met Rosy and asked about me.What's her problem with me? She’s driving me crazy, and I will not back down. She wants me out of her son’s life? Oh well, that’s impossible now. I will not give up, not until Hendrix gives up first.I kept pacing back and forth, troubled by the situation. Shella was looking at me in silence, eating junk food.I had a good time with Rosy today. We had a picnic in the garden, and she loved it. She got tired after that and wanted to sleep, so we concluded the day for us, but I will be back tomorrow for lunch again."Stop walking back and forth, Louise. I'm getting fogged," she rolls her eyes backward at me."As I've said, ignore her majesty. She's hard to please, and I heard that she's bipolar. Tsk..." She jiggled her head.I halted in front of her and placed my hands on my hips. "Hendrix has a little bipolarish in him, too, but not bad," I said, twisting my lips.She laughed again. "But you still love him. Boys
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 126. Don't care
Louise Rose.I tilt my head back and hold onto the side of the mattress. I can see stars. Hendrix kisses me down there, putting my entire body into flames. I could only hold back my orgasm for a little while as it came quickly."Fucking wet, babe." He hoarsely said, rising below and crawling back on top. He kissed me, and I could taste my arousal. He parted my legs using his knee, settled in between, and slowly pushed inside me."Hendrix…" I moaned, feeling all the stars again. My nails dug into the back of his skin when he started to thrust.It was rapid, full, and addicting.There's no better way to express what my body wants, as Hendrix can clearly see our desire for each other. I know this is crazy, but I couldn't stop him from wanting me. I couldn't stop this either, as it happens naturally with us.Earlier, I was thinking of how to get away from him, but here I am underneath him, and we are fucking. I tried to open a conversation, but it seemed like he knew that it was coming f
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 125. Wicked
Louise Rose.Spare me, oh God.I looked at Hendrix, annoyed at what he just did. We're back now at our usual spot. Like always, he shut this area exclusively for us. The food on the table appeared appetizing, but I had lost my appetite long ago. His mother's sharp words played like a broken wireless inside my brain, and I just wanted to sleep and go home."Louise…"I blinked and looked at him again, cutting off from what I had imagined."Eat, Louise, and we will talk after this, " he ordered, putting food on my plate."How could you say that to your mother?" I said calmly.He paused, sighed softly, and tightened his jaw. "I don’t know what my mother has told you, Louise, but it’s best not to follow her advice.""She doesn't like me at all." I jerked my head up and chuckled slightly. I can't believe I'm telling this to him now."It's my choice. Your mother wants a wife that belongs to the royalty, Hendrix, and that's not me." My shoulder sagged.He dropped his fork, and it made a loud
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 124. Confront
Hendrix.It's heartwarming to get a glimpse of Louise's private life. She never mentioned anything about her mother, and I never asked. Every time we talked about families, Rosy was the only person she admired the most. Now I know the reason why. It must be hard on her. It's not easy to grow up in an environment without one parent. But I'm glad that Rosy gave Louise all the love she deserves.Rosy shared the details about Louise's mother with me. She is seeking information on her current whereabouts, and if possible, I would like to help find her before she passes away. Rosy also informed me of the heartbreaking news regarding her health.I felt like the weight of the world was on my shoulders. I wish I could ease Rosy's pain so that she could stay longer for Louise, but her time is running out. Asking for my help to find Louise's mother was her last hope.I promised her that I would do my best to find her sister, Louise's mother, and take care of Louise no matter what happened.I st
