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

Louise Rose.Adoring and loving—that's the description of Hendrix today. I thought he would be a little strict today, but he was different. This is probably his good side, the cute, loving side of Hendrix Mondragon. Faced by the ocean, we sit side by side, our arms almost touching. It's sunny, but the cold breeze prevents us from feeling the sun's temperature in our skin."This place is beautiful. I did not know we have it here at the town's end?" I shut my eyes, embracing the wind that's kissing my face."I know. This place is private and is not open to the public."I open my eyes and turn to see him. "What? Then how did we…""My family owns this place in secret… my father, to correct," his jaw tightened. He looked away and was now facing the sea.When he means my father, I get confused about that because there are two fathers of him."It's my biological father. Dante Mondragon," he says as he looks back at me.I don't want to ask. I don't want to ruin our moment today. If he is no

Hendrix.Feeling content, I silently smile as I gaze at Louise’s beautiful sleeping face.I can’t get enough of her. We made out first on the couch, which wasn’t enough because we made love again inside this room…my spare room in this mansion.She must be tired as we did it endlessly. It's honestly late now for her to go home, and I know I made her body exhausted from our lovemaking.I bit my lower lip as I looked at her. I don't know what it is about her, but she is the only woman who can fulfill me like this.I rolled over to check the time on the bedside table, and it was already late. She mentioned earlier that she would only take a nap and would love to be home tonight, but I don't think that will happen.I want to keep her here. I want her to be with me tonight, in the same bed.I rolled back and slowly wrapped my arms around her slim, perfect body. Her scent made my senses go wild, waking the beast in me.Dammit. I couldn't get enough of her. I need help.--"Good morning, bab

Louise Rose.“I hate snakes, spiders, sharks, and crocodiles,” I said, my mouth full from eating the cheeseburgers.He chuckles and shakes his head. “Then we can’t go to Australia by the look of it.”“Oh? But I love koala bears. I want to see them for real.” I laughed.“Okay, then, our next destination will be in Australia.”“For real?”“Yes. For real.”It’s nice to daydream. We talked about our likes and dislikes and even about places we would love to visit in the future.We’ve been doing this for almost two weeks now. Getting out for lunch somewhere, spending the afternoon together, kissing and doing silly things, and sometimes sleeping overnight at his place.Hendrix is easy to be with. He looks after me all the time and always asks my preferences before making a decision. We agreed to keep our relationship private from his family for now. We were also very cautious whenever we went out because we didn’t want to attract public attention. It's better to keep this to ourselves for n
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 122. Remember
Hendrix.I don't feel good about this.Knox looked at me carefully. He hasn't been following me for three weeks now. I ordered him not to follow me whenever I was with Louise.I assigned him another task: to keep me updated about my mother. There was nothing new about it. I just want to know what my mother is up to.All my projects and jobs were completed at my company, so I'm up to date on the business.My father, who happens to pay Knox to guard me visibly, probably knows what I was doing. He doesn't care much about me, but deep inside, I know he is watching me in silence, which is opposite to how my mother gets into my private life.Knox already notified me yesterday, telling me that my mother might call in today at my place for a private conversation about the rumors spreading around.Dammit. Louise and I have been careful. We did not even go out far away, and we just went to private places I own. Yet, we've been found out."Hendrix, I've been wondering what you're up to nowadays,
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 123. His mother
Louise Rose.I was nervous as I waited for Hendrix to appear before my eyes.Rosy doesn't want me to be there with her. She wants to talk to Hendrix privately and promises that she will never say something bad that would make me hate her. I trust her. Even if she tells Hendrix to get away from me, I can't blame her for that. I can understand if she will.All mothers are like that to their children, and Rosy is no different from them.I looked at the time on my wristwatch again. Thirty minutes had passed. Hendrix was not yet here, which was weird because Hendrix was always on time.I took a deep breath and closed my eyes.Toot. Toot.When I saw Hendrix's car, I pressed my lips and smiled widely. I waved at the tinted window and grabbed my sling bag before locking the door of my house. It was like I was skipping my way to his car, and when I finally opened the door, getting ready to get inside, my smile faded. It's not Hendrix. It's Knox, his bodyguard."Hello, Miss Louise. My boss tol

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.

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
