The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 16. Lick
Kyla Eva . My jaw dropped when I saw how beautiful the resort paradise was. It's in a secret area that can only be accessed by riding a small boat in the middle of the sea. Our suite is floating, and it's crazy! "Do you like it?" Enzo asked as I walked around. I can see the fish underneath. It's scary to step further, as the floor is made of glass around this part. I hold my heart, breathing earnestly. I couldn't believe this! Does a house like this exist? My goodness! "If you need any assistance, please feel free to use the intercom. Everything else is at your disposal, Sir, Madame," one of the staff politely informed. "Not a problem. Thank you very much," Enzo answered. I blinked my eyes as I looked behind me. It's never-ending—the sea. Everything you need is here. There's food and all, and if you want to go to the main junction of the hotel, you just have to use the small boat. Enzo knows how to navigate it, I suppose. It's probably not that far enough to swim. "Oh, god, I-

Enzo Denver .I can't control my needs, and every time I get closer to her, my arousal cravings are too high. She has become more observant of her surroundings, which I find enjoyable. It seems she is lost in thought, and I cannot discern what's on her mind.She seems quite different from the usual Kylie that I know.The Kylie that I knew was very demanding and sophisticated at times. She's always on her phone, scrolling through social media, trying to find if she's on the most trendy search page.Although I didn't appreciate it, I accepted her behavior. I love her and have accepted both her good and bad sides. At times, she acts spoiled and stubborn like a baby. That's why I've been contemplating the changes in her."Hey, Conrad, do women's preferences change quickly?" I asked him in the line. I know I shouldn't be asking him. Conrad is a playboy who messes around with girls. But lately, Conrad has been changing, behaving differently than he used to. I hope he can give me better adv

Kyla Eva.Getting drunk is the only best option that I could think of. This is the only way I could make love to Enzo without thinking about my twin sister. Enzo will surely be suspicious if I get drunk. He knows that Kylie detested alcohol. Kylie pretends to Enzo that she can't drink alcohol, but it is only for a play to get his heart. She can drink, alright!What am I going to do?I finished the whole bottle of vodka and laughed a little bit. I looked at Enzo from afar. He was still on his phone, talking to someone. It could be his business or one of his cousins, but I'm not sure. I don't typically inquire about his personal affairs.I looked at the bartender before me and asked for another bottle. I shook my head as I remembered what had happened earlier.Huh, great! I was naked.And so what if I was naked? It wasn't new. In Enzo's eyes, I am Kylie, his wife!Oh, heck. What the hell is wrong with me? I must be drunk.I wonder what happened to Kylie. She did not even call me. She o

Enzo Denver."Sleep, hon. Goodnight."I gave her a quick kiss on her forehead, nose, and lips. We took our time kissing as if we had all the time in the world. The kiss was slow yet passionate and beautiful."Thank you, Enzo," she weakly said, and her eyes shut."Sleep well, honey. I love you," I whispered.She smiles and never answers back. It seems like she's asleep now.I slowly stood up and stretched my body while staring at her, sleeping like a baby. My eyes again landed on her wrist, and I sighed deeply as I looked at it.I caressed it a few times tonight, making sure that there were no scar marks. Her wrist is clean, and there's no indication that it has been with something.I jerked my head up, moving it side by side.Part of me says that this doesn't seem right and that there was something off about her, but the other part of my brain says it's impossible.I'm sure she's Kylie. She has all the memories from the first day I met her in Sorrento. Thinking outside the box was im

Kayla Eva.Should I give in to his desires? I'm his wife, but still, I'm not Kyla. In the eye of the law, I'm not Enzo's legal wife.I sat down, feeling helpless, combing the strands of my hair using my fingers. My mind and my heart were fighting for what was right.My heart tells me to keep going—I know that—and I love him. But my mind is telling me the opposite. . . I have to go.I'm weak when it comes to Enzo. I know that. I am also weak when it comes to my family, but my guilt kept haunting me, and my heart couldn't leave him alone. I want to be with Enzo.This is entirely my fault. I should not have given in to my twin sister Kylie's demands or let her use me. I was foolish!I met Enzo first. I fell in love with him first, but why the hell am I the one who has become the third wheel in this love story? It should have been me. When will I have the courage to fight for myself? Until when?I stood up, took a deep breath, and washed my hands. I got drunk last night, and I remember w

Enzo Denver.If I don't stop kissing her, I might end up entirely consumed by my lustful desire for her.No, it's not the right time yet. I still have a surprise for her, and I can't wait to reveal it.When I touched her below, I knew she was ready for me. I'm aware of that and have been prepared for this. It feels like this is our first. There's something new about our kisses. It's turning me on a different level of ecstasy.We are married now. Intimately, we have done this before, but this is the first time we will share intimate feelings as a husband and wife."I'm not gonna hold tonight, darling. I'm going to take you over the moon," I whispered and kissed her again.She chucked slightly when my kisses traveled on her neck. She jerked her head up, giving me all the access. I swore behind my mind, and I felt my hardness.Damn, it hurts, and I'm holding it in for now."Enzo?" she paused, and I followed suit, staring at her and waiting for her to speak."Can we change our endearment

Kyla Eva.“How important is an engagement ring to every woman?”I chuckled when I heard it from Enzo.“Hmm, well, for others, it is. The engagement ring symbolizes your pure love. It’s your heart. You are offering it to the woman you want to spend the rest of your life. That’s what makes it important.”“I see. . .” Enzo weakly nodded. He then seriously looked at me in the eyes.“What if the ring is too old? I-I mean, the ring carries your family's history from generation to generation. It looks ugly and old. Will you still want that ring?”“Yes, of course!” I proudly said with my chin up. “It’s not the price, Enzo. Even if it looks old and ugly, it embeds your family history from generations. And that alone is valuable where money can’t buy. It has a story to tell, and the love circulating in the ring is strong. Your soon-to-be wife is very lucky,” I sweetly smiled. I mean it. That’s the true meaning of an engagement ring for me.--The moment we stepped inside our roon, Enzo hugged

Enzo Denver . Damn it! I swore repeatedly in my mind. She was sleeping like a baby, and I slowly rolled over to get away from her. I covered my mouth, feeling surreal about what I had witnessed. I made love to her many times as she turned me on a different level. I couldn't stop myself. I sighed deeply in silence while looking at her sleeping beside me. No. It's not right. I was sure that Kylie was no longer a virgin when I first had her, but how do I explain this? Dammit! I put the blanket around her, covering her nakedness. I was trying to think to clear my mind, but my heart was telling me a different story every time I looked at her face. Her eyes are her soul, and they tell me with honesty. She's Kylie. She's the woman I love and nothing else. What the hell? Damn this! Is there anyone besides her? Fucking stupid self! I stood up, mighty and naked, in front of her. I grabbed the robe and wore it. I looked at her again, and my heart beat faster than usual. I shut my eyes. .

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
