The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 22. Intimate
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
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 23. After effect
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

Enzo Denver."Enzo? Darling?"My heart throbbed when I heard her soft voice. I balled my fist and turned around to see her.Her messy hair and beautiful smile melt the anger inside my heart.Kayla. . . why the hell, Kyla? My mind speaks as we stare.I want to ask her why. I want to know the truth and why she needs to hide it from me. I want to know her story back then. I deserve to know the truth, but I'm too scared to ask her now. I don't want to scare her. I don't want her to go.I'm scared. I'm afraid of losing her again."Kyla. . ." I said, almost in a whisper, and stride fast towards her."I miss you, darling." I hugged her tight enough that I could almost hear her heartbeat.Effing dammit!I want to confront her now, but I am too scared she might run away. I can't afford to lose her. Not this time."What's wrong? Are you feeling alright?" She weakly asked and touched my forehead.My eyes were a little bit teary as I looked at her face, and I hugged her again without a doubt.I'
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 28. To impress
Kyla Eva.The cold wind greeted us the moment we touched base. I felt nervous. Knowing that I would see Enzo's mother made me anxious about how to carry myself to her liking. I hope we get along well."Just be by yourself. Don't worry about my mother. She'll love you."My response was a deep sigh of worry, and I could no longer bring myself to smile. I remember Kylie telling me that they never liked each other. She did not elaborate on why, but Enzo's mother hated her."Ready?" Enzo looked at me."Yeah, I am," I nodded weakly and looked at the stuff we had with us."You surely have plenty of stuff in there while I only have a few days of clothes," I said."Do you think only my clothes are in there?" he mischievously smiles. "I got yours too, you know," he winks and moves them."W-What? Really?" I stammered. I couldn't believe it.How did he manage to take some of my stuff from Kylie's apartment?Oh yeah, right. Enzo was Kylie's fiancé back then, and of course, he knew her apartment p
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 29. Mother
Enzo Denver.I feel my mother. She's ignoring my wife, and I don't like it. How can I tell her it's no longer Kylie because Kyla is with me now? Damn, this."I don't want her here, son, but because you are my son, I will try to be nice," she postulated.I sighed in distress, keeping at it for myself. My mother's eyebrows raised as she looked at Kyla from a distance and crossed her arms together. Kyla is helping Karing.The flight was tiring, and as much as I wanted Kyla to rest, she refused because she wanted to help Karing. I understand that. I know she's feeling uneasy with my mother."Mum, I want you to open your heart to her. She's different, Mum," I advised."Hmm, we'll see. She's not gonna last long, Enzo," she smirked. "By the way, I heard that you stopped the construction of the new clinic. Any reason for that?""I need to take precautions, Mum. It's only for a week. Xavion is helping me with the paperwork. It will be done soon," I sighed.There was a delay in the delivery of

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’
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 131. Happiness
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."

Hendrix.She’s addicting like a drug. It’s hard to get her out of my system. I become an animal in bed whenever I’m with her. 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.

The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 129. What's next?
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
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 128. Back to my queen
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.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 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
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 125. Wicked
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 124. Confront
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
