Kyla Eva Fuentabella."You can't do this, Kylie! Mum will never approve of this. What the hell are you thinking?" I frowned, feeling confused as I looked at her.She smiled slightly while admiring her reflection in the mirror, running her fingers through the long, wavy hair she had just combed."Please, my sweet sister, Kyla, have mercy."As I stood behind her, she calmly uttered and pouted at my reflection in the mirror. My shoulder dropped together with my heart, and I felt a tingling pain inside my head. I shut my eyes."What it is that you want, Kylie? It's your wedding tomorrow, and the hell!" I exclaimed and failed to keep the calmness in my voice. An intense anger is slowly arising within me, but she seems unconcerned about it.She remained calm and composed. While me? Here I am, pacing back and forth, thinking of the best solution to her stupidest!I paused and looked at the Louis Vuitton traveling bag and her Hermes Birkin on the corner. I don't know what she's planning this

Enzo Denver Mondragon."Don't smile too much, Enzo. It's fucking disgusting, bro!" Linus Leone smirked and shook his head."Just tell me that you are jealous, Leone. Why don't you settle down like us—four?" Conrad said with open arms."I don't think it will happen soon to Linus Leone, Conrad. This lion is not ordinary like you," Xavion snorted.I slightly shook my head while listening to them."You are all a bunch of crazy peps!" Linus let out a short laugh and smirked again.The boys are here at the Monde Rock Bar gathering at my so-called Batchelor's party. Next week is the biggest event of my life, and after that, I will no longer be a bachelor because I will marry the most beautiful woman I have met."What sort of a bachelor party is this? Where's the dancing girls?" Glenn complained as he looked around.He was right, this is probably a boring one, but I like it like this. I don't want a complicated bachelor's party, and I'm sure Kylie will never approve if there's a woman inside

Kyla Eva Fuentabella.I don't think I can sleep after what happened. I constantly stare at the ceiling, thinking about what to do next.It is unbelievable. It's freaking unreal!I can't understand my twin sister, Kylie. Her twisted, untangled brain made her what she had become. An absolute dumb, pain in the ass, stupid! Sometimes, I question myself if she is really my twin by blood. We look physically the same, but we are completely opposite in everything. I'm the angel, while she's the devil. I'm the fairy with a golden heart, and she's the black wicked witch without it.I wonder who carries the bad blood? Is it mother or father?I don't think it's our father. He is the best father for me, loving, caring, and understanding. It could be our mother. She's as wicked as Kylie and doesn't care about me. Ugh, I hate this! I don't want to think too much. This is useless!I rolled over my back and submerged my face in the pillow. If I could only turn back the time, I could have a better a

Kyla Eva Fuentabella.I stood empty, staring at the mirror in front of me. I felt numb and lost.Isn't your wedding day supposed to be the happiest day of your life? No. Not! Especially if you happen to be the substitute bride!"This will be the last, Kayla. After this, you are free to go. I also had enough of all the pretend, and I'm tired of this game. This is the last. I Promise. I will never bother you again. So, please just be my substitute, okay?" Kylie pleads once again in the line."But Kylie? Where are you? Who's with you? Who is he? What are you planning to do? I thought you would be back tomorrow," I frustratedly asked. I want to pull my hair so she can wake up. "I will be back after three days from now on, Kyla. Just be my cover for a while. I know you can do this. This is easy peasy for you. You are my professional mini-me, and I believe in you, okay? I have to go. Bye," she stated and ended the call.My mouth parted, and I just can't believe it! "What!? H-Hello, Kylie

Enzo Denver Mondragon.I couldn't stop smiling while seeing her walking down the aisle. I'm so happy that today is a beautiful sunny day. The Island was so peaceful with its natural gift, and the sea salt breeze was perfect. This Island belongs to Liam Mondragon, Drew's brother. It's exclusive and private."Best wishes, bro. You have the most beautiful woman," Enzo whispered. He is my best man, and the rest of my Mondragon cousins who are single are groomsmen. All of them are standing, looking bloody handsome.I looked back at Kylie. She stood up, gave her parents a quick hug and kiss, and continued. When our eyes met, I felt the magic flick of my heart.Dammit. I'm effing nervous, and I don't know why. My heart hammered hard, and I couldn't hide my smile. I cleared my throat and stopped firmly, watching her walking towards me.Finally, I'm marrying the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with."Take care of my princess, Enzo." Kylie's father patted my shoulder, and her mother

Kyla Eva . I am feeling overwhelmed and cannot handle the situation anymore. "Stop, hon! I-I'm fine. I don't need a massage." I pulled my feet from him immediately. "Don't be silly, hon. I'm the doctor here, and I know what I'm doing." He smiles, bites his lower lip, and looks at me seductively. Oh my God! I felt like my heart was going to pop out of my chest. I swallowed hard as he slowly caressed my feet and slowly put them back on his lap. My grip tightened on the cup that I was holding. I'm good at faking myself but the heck, sleeping with him in one bed is a big no for me. Oh, dear God! Please give me strength so that I can make it through the night. I hope it will be three days tomorrow, and this will be over, but no, it's not! I still have two days to go. I shifted my focus and sipped the warm milk he had prepared for me. Though my eyes were fixed on the TV, I made an effort to listen to it attentively. But no matter how much I wanted to ignore him, I couldn't. The way

Enzo Denver Mondragon . "I have to return this. I'm sorry, Beauty," I politely said. "No, it's fine. That's fine! See? Have I told you, right? The Kylie that I knew is not materialistic, Enzo. She was probably having a hard time last week," Beauty smiled sweetly. Beauty was right. Kylie is not that materialistic at all. But there are times that she goes beyond her limit when it comes to spending Luxury bags. That's why it was a surprise for me when she rejected it. "She was probably just jealous of something. Maybe you are too close to the nurses around you," she joked. "I wish she would do that, but I don't feel that in her. She doesn't get jealous at all, Beauty. It was the opposite because I was the one who always got jealous of the people, especially the male ones around her." "I-I mean, you are a model, right? And so is Kylie and - " "And wearing their bikini in front of the public, ramping on stage is a big no for me." Drew interrupted. He cuts me off. He came out behind

Kyla Eva.I felt like my soul had come out of my body momentarily when Enzo touched me. But what really scared me was the tie around my wrist. I forgot to wrap them around my wrist.I sighed after wrapping them around my wrist. I slightly shook my head while looking at the beautiful floral handkerchief around it. I was lucky that Enzo didn't notice it.Honestly, there was nothing on my wrist—not even a single scar. But it's a different story when it comes to Kylie. If Enzo had seen the cut on Kylie's wrist, then he would have become suspicious of me.Kylie's wrist has many little scars. One is deep and dark, and it's visible. Kylie had lasered it multiple times, but the scar was still visible. Therefore, she would always cover it with fashionable accessories. It's becoming a trend to notice the little details about her body, as she's a celebrity whose career has been impacted by it.Since Enzo is a doctor, I'm sure he can quickly point out little details of changes from me. I want to

The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 145
Louise Rose.I'm so furious right now. I feel so betrayed. Of all the people, why Hendrix? Why. . .I went back to Rosy and attended to all her needs. I never asked her anything about her condition. I had enough of what Dr. Lou said earlier. I just need to give myself some time to settle down so that I can think again."Louise, my dear, please don't be upset with me or Dr. Lou. It's not his fault. He was simply following my instructions... I want this because I don't want you to fret too much… I apologize for keeping this from you." Rosy's voice was faint and tired. I could only embrace her. My heart shatters as I feel lost about what to do next. It's nighttime already. I helped Rosy shower and eat dinner, and now I am tucking her for bedtime. I turned off my phone after I talked to Dr. Lou. I don't want to talk to anyone, especially to Hendrix. I'm not in the mood for any conversation about Rosy's health.I could only smile softly as I stroked her cheek. I know she's tired. Today
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 144
Louise Rose.Although I shouldn't visit her today, I plan to surprise Rosy since my calendar is free. I feel truly blessed in many ways despite the conflicts within Hendrix's family.Hendrix's mother hates me, and Stephanie is making all the moves she can to hold Hendrix by the neck.My partner is facing financial losses, and I feel accountable for it. I want to assist him, but I'm unsure of how to proceed. I believe the most significant support I can offer is simply being there for him, regardless of the circumstances.I love him, honestly. Our start wasn't perfect, as it was pretentious, but look at where we are now. It's been the past six months, and we are running seven and still firmly in love with each other.I felt nervous as I entered the care clinic. Nadia, the head nurse, looked surprised when she saw me."I did not expect a visit from you today." Her brows wiggled, and I laughed. "Does your Aunt Rosy know you are coming?""No. She did not. I want to surprise her. I have so
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 143
Louise Rose.I cautiously glance to the side while listening to Hendrix speak on the phone with Stephanie.After dinner, we settled back at his place, giving me enough time to relax. I'm all relaxed, alright. I had my shower thirty minutes ago and checked on Rosy at the care clinic. Everything is going well with her, and I'm glad she's okay. I was a little worried when I saw her this morning. She doesn't seem well."I told you I'm not negotiating anything from you anymore, Steph." Hendrix's voice rose in octavo."Dammit! This is why we can't talk in person. This is why I can't see you!' He ran his hand through his hair in frustration and lifted his head."Fucking hell! Don't you dare tell me what to do, Steph! It's not about myself anymore, and not about Louise. Stay her out of this!"My body jerked when I heard the surprising kick he made on the chair inside the room. I fiddle my fingernails on my lips while listening, and my heart is pumping hard inside me.Hendrix is furious. Step
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 142. Proud
Louise Rose.I stopped by the flower stall near Hendrix’s office building, and rather than waiting for him, I opted to head to his office instead.The interior of the building is impressive. It features a unique atmosphere, and the entrance boasts a tall ceiling adorned with a large, sparkling chandelier.There was no reception. Instead, there was information displayed on the large screen indicating which floor to visit. On the opposite side of the hallway leading to the lifts, you’ll find a small café alongside a flower stall.I smiled upon seeing it, and the two ladies attending smiled back. They were taking orders from two customers waiting nearby.Hendrix is clever, and I’m very proud of my man.Last night, we didn’t talk about Stephanie and the newly released articles. I felt jealous, but I knew how to manage my jealousy. I trust him and will wait for his explanation.The elevator arrives at the top floor, the fifty-ninth. I exit and am greeted by the company’s prominent logo ad
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 141. Disaster
Hendrix."It's good to see you again, Rosy." I gave her a tight hug and kissed her forehead.She gazed at me faintly, smiling. Her hands felt cold, and she was growing thinner each day. I felt anxious. To me, she didn't seem well, yet I recognized her strong fight for Louise.Last night was calm with Louise. We had a good time together. We never talked about the issues and just set them aside. We kissed, cuddled, and made love. It was solemn and peaceful. Although it does not solve the problem, I think it's probably better that way.I have too much on my plate at the moment, and I'm sorting out my business with Stephanie. I'm doing things one at a time, and I know Louise understands that."Hendrix…" Rosy weakly uttered my name, and I sat down beside her."How are you feeling, Rosy?" My jaw tightened. I knew she was not feeling well. I had a quick chat with Dr. Lou before I proceeded to her unit.The treatment was still ongoing. We are on our second radiation session now, and there ar
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 140. Surrender
Louise Rose.I sat down, and Dr. Lou looked very serious. I haven't seen Rosy—not yet. The food and treats are still inside the paper bags with me.“Look, Louise. I know it’s been some time, and if you’ve noticed, Rosy’s condition is worsening each day.” He paused and glanced at me with a worried expression."Yes, I noticed that. I've been meaning to talk to you, but I've been held up with many things, including my business. Every time I visit, you're either not here or busy with your patients.""Yes, I'm sorry about that. But this time, I could no longer ignore the symptoms, and—"He paused again when my phone suddenly rang. I hadn't muted it."Oh, sorry." I pulled it out of my side pocket and swiped the screen. It was Rosy."Uhm, it's just Rosy. Just hang on for a second, Dr. Lou." I stood up and whirled halfway."Yes, Rosy. I'm already here at the clinic. I'm talking to Dr. Lou. It won't be long, and I will be there. I'll see you in a minute," I said, ending the call.Dr. Lou clear
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 139. Worried
Louise Rose."What the heck? You attended the event the other day with Hendrix, right?" Shella's eyes were like fire when I looked at her."Why? What's wrong?" I still had my hands on the flowers I had arranged in the vase.After the event and spending the night at Hendrix's place, I visited Rosy the next day. She seemed unwell and uncomfortable, which worried me. So, I decided to stay with her until nighttime to help with her needs. She's got a personal maid, but me being there with her is a different story. I just want to be with her. I don't want to think about that sly Stephanie.I have a few messages and miscalls from Hendrix. I will get back to him later. "Look at this. Have you read this?" She showed me the newspaper. The front page featured a picture of Hendrix's company and the events mentioned. On the next page was a collage of pictures with his cousins, parents, and Stephanie."Where are you? Why aren't you here? They didn’t even mention you at all, as if you didn’t exist

Louise Rose.I lost my smile the moment I saw Hendrix. Anger surged within me, and I recalled what Stephanie had said at the party.“Louise, darling...”Hendrix leaned in to kiss me, but I pulled away. Lilia noticed and cleared her throat before walking away. She left us.Hendrix opens my chair so I can sit down. I never look at him as I take my seat. I’m still upset.“I’m not sure what you’d prefer for breakfast, so I asked Lilia to prepare a variety of options.” He cleared his throat as he placed each dish closer to my plate.I will eat as much as possible and then go to the flower shop branches. That’s my plan for today. We sit in silence while eating, creating an awkward atmosphere. I don’t want to discuss anything and can sense his hesitance to speak.“I’m sorry about what happened last night, Louise.”My lips twitch. Why is he apologizing? Is it because he didn’t inform me about Stephanie? Additionally, I don’t even know what role Stephanie plays in his life aside from being
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 137. Took out
Louise Rose.What was that about? Why did I fail in that moment? Who does she think she is?I grimaced, feeling so shit. I wish I could have done it the other way. Instead, I was sulking. I'm a known fighter, but tonight, I wasn't. Is this really me? Shit."Drop me home, Hendrix." I gritted my teeth. I'm done crying and acting like a baby. Rosy never raised me to become weak because she taught me how to defend myself in front of my bullies.Born without parents, I had many insecurities. Rosy was always with me at all the events in my life. When friends asked about my parents, I always said the same thing over and over... my parents are deceased. That's the eastiest way to answer them.Hendrix took the turn that led to his house instead of mine. I glanced at him, but he never looked back."I said to my place, Hendrix!""Stay in my place.""I'm not sleeping in the same bed with you!""I understand. But please stay for tonight, Louise." He gazes at me in desperation. "I will not force
