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

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,

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

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

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

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

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 Epilogue
Louise Rose.At times, you meet the right person when circumstances are not ideal. Other times, you encounter the wrong person when the moment is perfect. However, when you discover the right person at the right time in the right circumstances, it’s destiny. Fate has intertwined your paths, so hold on tightly and never let go.I still couldn’t believe it. After Hendrix’s proposal, the wedding took place.That was spot on. I wasn’t prepared. But when I saw Rosy in her wheelchair, I felt it was the perfect moment for everything. It was truly the right time for that. That night was perfect for us and everyone around us. Hendrix and I got married and were surrounded by our loved ones.It’s been a year, and everything around us moves smoothly. There are tough days alongside joyful moments. The silver lining is that we don’t argue. Even if we bicker over minor issues, we make sure that they are resolved by the end of the day.I’ve faced numerous challenges, beginning with Rosy, my father,

Hendrix."Is everything ready?" I whispered to Eleanor ahead. She gave me a thumbs-up.I took a deep breath and scanned my surroundings. I'm feeling anxious about this. I hope everything works out.This proposal is my second attempt. I chose to keep it simple. Eleanor will invite Louise to a Saturday event, which is my proposal for her.Rosy, my family, and a few of the boys will be here soon. I'm not sure what Reeve and Linus are up to, but I have a bad feeling about it. They've prepared something without telling me what it is."I'll return with Louise in two hours, okay? Everything is set. We have another surprise for both of you. So, no matter what it is, Hendrix, you cannot refuse. Understood?"I blinked. "Okay. . ." My forehead wrinkled."Don't worry. It's not going to harm you or Louise. It will be beneficial for you." She winked, patted my shoulder, and then walked straight ahead."Hendrix! What's up, bro?""Riley? What are you doing here? I thought you were still in Scotland?
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 159. Pure happiness
Louise Rose.It feels like just yesterday, yet a month has already passed. As I glanced at my mother's name on her urn, I also looked at her picture beside it. I resemble her. She's beautiful, and I just look like her. For years, I have refused to look at her photos from Rosy's old albums. I didn't want to see her at that moment, nor did I want her image to linger in my mind. I didn't feel any anger towards her. I just didn't want to imagine what she looked like.Ideally, Rosy embodies the motherly figure I've always cherished, and during moments of hardship and solitude, it's her face I long for most.I have no regrets.If I were to look at old photos of my mother and notice how much I resemble her, I might feel resentment. Whenever I see my reflection, I see my mother, which prevents me from finding peace.As a child, I had many questions about why she left me with Rosy and why she never came back. But that was in the past. It’s all behind us now, and we are left with the answers

Louise Rose."Louise!"My heart lights in that last second before they toss me.I saw Hendrix running towards me. . . Stephanie screamed, and everything flew in the air.Splash!I held my breath quickly, and my hand automatically did the job. But the rope was tightly wrapped around my feet, and the bricks were heavy. I descended quickly at the bottom.I tried kicking, trying to get it out. I jerked my head up, trying to grasp the air. I can only hold my breath for thirty seconds at least. That was my best record when I went swimming with my friends back when I was only sixteen.I hate the waters. I'm scared of it. I can't breathe.Five, four, three, two, one. . .That's it. I can't do it. I can't untie myself. Am I going to die? Is this my end? Rosy…mum…Hendrix…***Hendrix.Damn it!"Louise!" My body was on autopilot. I run towards her."Oh my god!"I heard Stephanie scream and the rattles around.After extensive tracking, we finally caught them in the act. However, it seems too la

Hendrix.Reeve accompanied me when we arrived at El Puerto. A car was waiting for us. Xavion arranged it. He also contacted the authorities to check the area around. And because it's not yet twenty-four hours, they don't consider it as a missing person. So, we have no choice but to work out independently.The boys will be coming to help. Most of them were at the event, waiting for us, but the party was over. It hasn't even started."Mum, not now, please. I need to find Louise," I answer my mother in the line. She's been calling me non-stop."Look, son. Eddie and Marco are on their way. They might take a while, but they're coming."I sighed, feeling frustrated now. The camera recording shows not much. It did not even capture the face of the person with Louise. The area was quiet, too. They're making sure that they can't be seen. They prepare well for this and damn it. I will make them pay for this."Also, son, Eddie told me that Stephanie actually came back this morning. He doesn't be

Narrator's POV.Eleven hours earlier...Louise was supposed to call Shella, but that did not happen. Shella has been wondering all along why Louise hasn't called yet. "Why hasn't she called me yet? She was supposed to call earlier," she muttered before dialing Louise's number without any hesitation.Tot…tot…tot…"What the? Why is she unattended?"She attempted once more, but the result remained unchanged. After waiting another hour, she considered it might be the signal at that location. However, deep down, she realized it was unlikely. This area has a strong signal with telecommunications towers throughout. So, it's impossible.Shella then speculated that perhaps Louise's phone had a low battery.That's it!It was nearly seven o'clock, and Louise still hadn't arrived. She remained unattended.Shella felt a surge of panic. She realized that Hendrix would arrive shortly to pick up Louise. They needed to go to a surprise family event. This surprise was organized by Hendrix, of course

Louise Rose.I swear in my mother's name, I will make Stephanie pay for what she has done to me!"I'm busting! Hey!""Just pee on your pants. You're going to die anyway." She folded her arms across her chest while observing the two men getting ready for something.I chuckled. "I don't want to die smells like shit, at least! You should grant me some wishes, you know, bitch!"She twirled around, frustrated by my annoyance."Will you shut up! I can't concentrate!" She yelled like a maniac.I giggled at that. "Oh well, too bad. I will never leave you in concentration. So, better untie me, Steph, and bring me a moment of joy!"She disregarded me. She plugged her ears while waiting for the boys to wrap up.What the hell they're doing?I'm out in the dark, at least, and now the sun is shining brightly. I never had a wink last night. I've been thinking of many ways to escape, but I can't do anything.At least one of the boys is kind enough to let me use the toilet. But even there, there was

Louise Rose.I stepped out feeling confident about this. I already told Shella that I would be home before seven. It’s still early—it’s eight in the morning.A man dressed in black looked in my direction. I scanned around first, ensuring that no one matched his description.Last night, he messaged me that a man in all black would fetch me here in El Puerto.“Louise?” the man wearing all black looked at me.I nodded.“This way, please.”He led me to his car, which was only a short distance from where my car was parked. I glanced around again, ensuring it was really him. No one else was nearby, so it had to be him.He opened the sliding door of the van, and I climbed inside.“There are refreshments for you. Help yourself and enjoy the road trip,” he casually said before shutting the car door.I feel the van moving and become familiar with the road. I’m not hungry yet. I’m just enjoying myself while listening to music on the vehicle wireless. He remained silent while driving, avoiding e

Louise Rose.'Your mother… she has passed away a few months after she left you with me. That's why she couldn't come back for us, Louise…'Tears came rolling down my cheeks as I waited for Hendrix. I hugged my knees, crying in vain like a lost child.I laughed at Rosy's confession earlier. It was like a joke, and I didn't know how to take it in.I was speechless and shocked at the same time. Now that I'm all alone, here in the dark corner of Rosy's house, everything comes back haunted—my reality.The mother that I hated so much was long gone. Are you kidding me?I've been rehearsing a lot in the back of my mind, preparing myself for the day she will return for me. I have a lot to ask. Too many, to be exact. But what is it now? What will happen now? What will I do now…"Louise?"I gasped for air and stood up quickly when I heard Hendrix's voice outside. I wiped my tears, but my vision blurred, and my tears kept rolling down. It seemed like all the tears I had kept for myself for years
