.

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

    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

  • 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

    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

    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.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

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.

    Hendrix.No plan to get married.I had that type of thinking before. I don't plan to marry any of the girls my mother arranged for me. But hearing it coming from Louise made a little itch. It made me uncomfortable.Surely, getting married in the future is scary, as it comes with responsibility. I haven't pictured myself in that position yet.The event kept going down to the main one.When Xavion started the G-Dragon demo, everyone's eyes were on the stage. It was amazing. The G-Dragon is a robotic pet that can communicate with its owners and become your companion at home. It navigates by each program as implemented by the owner. You can simply design your pet according to your liking and budget. We have a few options: a g-dragon, a g-cat, and a g-dog. This is my father's new collection in his Empire robotic business, which he is slowly passing on to me."Congratulations. That was awesome. Investors are surfing like flies. They want it," Bryce uttered behind me. I shook my head. "Th

    Louise Rose.I felt incredibly nervous as I held Hendrix's arm. After days of preparation, the day had finally come.I wasn’t sure if I was smiling correctly. Everyone's eyes were on us the moment we arrived. The camera flashed, and I smiled widely.Hendrix looked at them with a snobby expression, as usual. It doesn't matter anymore. This is simply his nature. He does not smile, unlike what I was doing."You alright?" He whispered, and his hand came down at my back, almost down to my butt cheeks."A little nervous," I whispered back and kept my smile in public."You look stunning, Louise. The most beautiful of all the ladies around here." His gaze was warm and sincere, and I melted."Look at you…" His hand brushes against my lips and his eyes lock onto mine.I sparkled with delight, feeling overwhelmed by the way he touched me."I hate your dress," he said, his gaze lingering on my cleavage."Oh…""You are perfect.

    Hendrix.I can't believe it. Louise has this all along? Damn, what are the chances?Nicolai, Philip, Bryce, and Diezel clapped their hands after witnessing the G-Dragon demo. Spencer, Enzo, Xavion, and Rift were also in line, impressed by what they had seen."Should we add more programs to it? What do you think?" Bryce asks as he switches it back."I think that should suffice. The highlight of the show is not the G-Dragon anyway. It's Hendrix," Diezel exclaimed."How the hell will I become the effing highlight, Dez?" I smirked. "You better do your job. You do the opening program."That shut the hell out of him, and almost everyone laughed."Don't make fun of the new aspiring billionaire, guys. Don't you know that since Diezel took over his father's company, he has been earning eighty percent after a year? That's awesome." Xavion said proudly in the line."Damn, Dez. I thought you only knew how to dance Zumba, bro. You have all the talent in the world." A new voice pops in, and we are

    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’

    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."
