The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 19. Not so sweet
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. .

Kyla Eva."Just keep pretending, and don't tell Enzo about you, Kyla."My mouth parted after hearing what my father said in the line.Kylie is missing at the moment. They could not locate her, so they don't know where she is. My father used all his resources to find her, but it was hard. According to my father, he noticed that my mum was becoming increasingly desperate, emotional, and stressed every passing day.I bit my inside cheek while listening to my father in the line. They didn't even inquire about my well-being. It's always the same - they don't care. What else do I expect? And why do I still hope? I'm really stupid."Kyla, please, just this one, my dearie. I promise this is the last, and after this, you are free. You can do whatever you want to do. You are free to choose your destination and go wherever you desire. I will not let your mother or your twin sister harm you. I will protect you. Just do this for your twin sister's sake, Kyla, please," my father pleaded in the lin

Enzo Denver Mondragon . The dinner was great, and I’m glad that she liked it. She’s better and okay now compared to her condition two days ago. I felt bad about it, but I couldn’t stop myself. So, I promised myself that I would make love to her in a balanced way. I don’t want her to get sick again because of that. It’s funny because it hasn’t happened before. It’s just that she’s completely different from how she used to be, and I love it. She’s the woman that I love to begin with, and I want to set aside any doubt I have right now. I don’t want to think of anything and will be blind to anything that I see. She’s my wife—my one and only Kylie. But dammit, every time I held her hand, my eyes betrayed me. I kept looking at her wrist. I don’t mind every detail of her back then, but I have seen her scar, and I know something is not right now. But if you consider the technology nowadays, I could be wrong. And now that she’s here beside me, I want to memorize everything about her. . .

Enzo Denver.I stood stiff, feeling the cold in my system.What the fuck is happening? Did I miss something? How?"Enzo Denver? Yo, bro? What the hell? Did you just collapse? How can a freaking doctor have a heart attack?" Linus chuckled in the line.I shook my head and blinked my eyes before picking up the phone again, and Linus voice was unmistakable.I don't know what to say. I'm speechless as hell, and I'm not prepared for this.All along, I thought that Kylie was with me and that she was my wife. How the hell did this happen? Dammit!"Enzo, are you okay? I apologize for being direct, but I don't usually slow down. You know that don't you?" He laughed. "But hey, before you comment, I just need you to listen to this first," he continued.I shut my eyes, feeling like a shit now. "Go ahead, man," I said, tightening my jaw."Okay. Here's more. Your Kylie is out of the country. She's in Singapore with Dominic Echavez. Does that name ring a bell?"Fuck! I swore again behind my mind. I

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
