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
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 30. I'm sorry
Enzo Denver."Please give her a chance, Mum. You will love her. She's not the same person she used to be.""She's an actress, Enzo, and you are a doctor. You have a gentle and kind heart. While her? Huh, she's wicked! Enzo, she's an actress. Who knows if she's only pretending to get what she wants? She can play with your emotions, but not me." Her brow raised as she looked away.My mother is very angry, and I can sense why. Kylie made a terrible mistake with her in the past, and that was my mother's first impression of her. Soon after that, she never like her.The real Kylie Eve lacks the ability to blend in and understand people. I knew it all along, and still, I understand her. She was stressed and dealing with high anxiety and depression due to work. I was helping her manage her medication.I felt sorry for her, but I loved her. I could not let her go. That's why I tend to understand her in everything that she likes to do. I showered her with luxurious gifts, and her happiness bro
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 31. A favor
Enzo Denver.Her face was buried against my chest as she remained motionless, wiping her tears without looking at me. I let out a sigh of frustration. I wish she could tell me now about herself.My jaw tightened as I listened to her cry. After a few minutes, she calmed down and regained her composure, and I could only offer her a comforting hug.We are now watching the stars while hugging and kissing. I'm happy again. This is the most memorable night for me, and having her in my arms like this completes me."How many months again?" she weakly asked, looking into the dark sky."Two months, darling.""Hmm, I see. . . That's fine! We can extend if you'd like. I don't mind, Enzo, as long as I'm with you.""Are you sure?" My jaw tightened as I looked into her eyes. She seemed happy with it."Yes, of course!" Her eyes twinkled, and she looked at me energetically."You know, I want to quit acting. I'm tired, and I don't want to go back there anymore. I just want to be with you, Enzo. Can I
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 32. I refuse
Kyla Eva.Everything was good, and I'm happy and contented. I've made up a decision, and there's no turning back. I will walk on this path together with Enzo.Currently, I am assisting Karing in carrying kindling to the dirty kitchen. I have prepared all the ingredients for the dish that I will be cooking late. For dinner tonight, we will be enjoying a pizza straight from the stone oven and baked lasagna."Oh no, Ms. Kylie. I will do that. Sir Enzo will get mad at me," Karing expressed. She took the wood kindling behind me and moved them away."No, Karing. Let me help. I'm finished slicing all the ingredients and not doing anything at the moment." I wanted to do something, and I was getting bored while waiting for Enzo. I smiled and picked up the rest of the little wood.What I love about this place is its dirty kitchen behind the house, set perfectly next to the wooden stone pizza oven. The outdoor deck is highly spacious and has a view of the sea on the other side."It's impressive
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 33. Helping
Kyla Eva.I rose from my seat, shutting the laptop with a finality that echoed my decision. It's too late to succumb to Kylie's expectations. I'm here in Sorrento with Enzo, and no one knows us. We exist in a world of our own now. A sanctuary far removed from those people who fail to comprehend me.Enzo's mother doesn't like me because, in her eyes, I am Kylie, the woman who once broke her trust for her son. It doesn't matter if she thinks of me in that way. I don't care anymore. I am with Enzo, and that's all that matters.One day, Enzo will realize that I am not Kylie, and in that moment, all I will seek from him is his forgiveness.I composed myself, ready to get out to help Karing. The door opened, and Enzo's smiling face greeted me."Darling, flowers for my beautiful wife." He hugged and kissed me after giving me the fresh flowers. It was beautiful.I did not notice his mother behind him. I smiled at her, a smile filled with hope and longing for acceptance. I was about to hug he
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 34. Struggle
Kyla Eva"No. Not there, but here!" she firmly said, pointing with her finger to where the huge pot was located.I didn't respond and just did what she wanted me to do. I lifted the huge pot and whirled it around to the other side. It was heavy, like ten kilos. My back started to get hurt, but I never complained.She was gardening in her front yard when I saw her struggling with some heavy pots. I offered to help, as I was also doing some gardening in Enzo's front yard. The other night, she complimented me on my cooking. I enjoy helping Karing, and cooking is one of my specialties.Enzo was out on a free pediatric mission today. He honestly wanted me to go with him, but I refused as I had a lot of things to organize at his house. He always provides free services to the poor. I sometimes wonder if he still has enough funds, but I guess he has many sponsors.Enzo's mother was so dense toward me, and I felt she didn't like me. I tried my best in everything. I understand her, and all I wa
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 35. As my wife
Enzo Denver.When I arrived home, it was already late. I made sure to finish all my tasks as I didn’t want to have to come back the next day. I want to spend the rest of my holiday with Kyla. I want us to tour around not just here in Sorrento but the entire country of Italy.I step out of my car, feeling excited to see her. I had a few gifts, and I also bought her favorite food.“How’s your medical mission, son?” Mum greeted me outside. It seemed like she was waiting at the entrance of our house. I hugged her.“All good, Mum. Thank you. Did you have fun today with Kyla?” I asked and paused as my mother looked at me suspiciously. “I mean, Kylie,” I cleared my throat. It was quick of me to mention Kyla’s name. I pretend to look behind her through the door. It was shut, and I couldn’t see Kayla.“She’s upstairs. She might be a bit tired, but we had fun,” she smiled mischievously.I clenched my fists. My concern for Kyla is palpable. “Mum, what did you do to her this time?”“Me? Oh, come

The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 135. The approval
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. I don't want to share your appearance with everyone, but I'll make an

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
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 132. G-Dragon
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. H
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
