The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 39. Secret
Kyla Eva.We arrived, and I couldn't be more excited to see Nanay Meline and her best friend. A car was already waiting for us to take us to the mental clinic. Enzo organized everything. Diezel didn't join us. He will just wait for us again later.After a fifteen-minute drive, we arrived at the mental house clinic. I stepped out and looked around. The place is huge and has a good ambiance. The house stands in the middle of a huge property surrounded by many trees. The yard is equipped with all the necessary amenities, allowing patients to walk and enjoy themselves freely. Most of them are accompanied by caregivers.It wasn't long before we found Nanay Meline down in the park area with her friend."Nay!" I exclaimed in excitement and waved. She saw me, and she waved back."Kyla! Oh, it's finally nice to see you again." Nanay hugged me tightly. Enzo was just behind us."Same here, Nay. How's everything?" I smiled as I looked at the lady sitting in the wheelchair. She's just beside Nana

Enzo Denver."Please take care of yourself, okay? I'll be back. I'll visit you again," Kyla said, giving Suzette a tight hug.Separating the two breaks my heart, but I have no choice. It's only temporary.Kyla is unaware of everything. I need to devise a plan before revealing the truth. Once she learns the truth about her mother, she may not want to be away from her. I am aware that it will happen. Kyla will do everything to ensure that her biological mother is looked after—and she will do it herself.Nanay Meline wanted to drop us off at the Port, but I refused. We already had our agreements on this. She must stay in the facility and look after Kyla's mother, Suzette. I cannot trust the people around here. I know Nanay Meline is the only person I can trust here at the moment. As Kyla's husband, it is my duty now to take care of the people who are dear to her."Please take care of Kyla, Enzo," Nanay Meline whispered to me as she hugged Kyla. I nodded in agreement."Nay, take care of

Kyla Eva.I quickly sat down as I felt dizzy. I had just finished making the scarf for Enzo's mother, and I planned to give it to her later.I tightened my grip on the edge of the table as my vision started to fade to black.Am I stressing myself too much to feel this way? I mean, I was in a stressful state whenever I was with my twin sister and mother, but I didn't feel this type of feeling with them. What's wrong with me?I took a deep breath, then grabbed the glass of water and drank it. After a few minutes, my head cleared up, and my dizziness disappeared. I was probably thinking too much. That's probably what it is.I smiled widely when I saw the scarf I had made for Enzo. I finished it the other day. I hand-embossed his name beautifully down the edge. He will look good with it every time he wears it, and I can't wait to see it. I will give it to him on our third month anniversary.I made Enzo a warm wool scarf in white color with his initial name on the bottom.I neatly put the

Kyla Eva.My body slammed on top of the bed.How can I be so clumsy? How do I deal with this? What am I gonna do?I shut my eyes, trying to clear my mind. I rubbed my stomach, and my heartbeat palpitated fast. I don't want to assume, but if my calculations are right, then I am pregnant.I need to see a doctor.I composed myself and stepped out of the bedroom. I needed to help Karing, and I would figure out a solution later on my own."Darling? Mama told me that you seem unwell?" Enzo asked the moment he entered. He held my hand and checked my forehead with it.I blinked simultaneously. My heartbeat deafens my senses, and I feel scared."Enzo, I need to see a doctor," I started. It came out of my mouth straight away without thinking.He slightly chuckled. "Uh, it's in front of you," he wickedly smiled."Huh?" my mouth parted as I innocently looked at me until it hit me.Yeah, right. I almost forgot. Enzo is a doctor. Ugh, I'm insane!"Why? What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" His ey

Kyla Eva.The smile on Enzo's face was imperishable, and he could hardly look away from me. I giggled as he quickly kissed my forehead."You're naughty," I wrinkled my nose, and he laughed."It's not my fault. I can't help myself, and you know that. Every time I look at you, I want to devour you." He flirtatiously bit his lower lip and then kissed me again.I was only craving ice cream, but he bought all the food I liked, and here we are, just finished making out."Hello, baby. I can't wait to see you," he whispered in my stomach, and I laughed slightly. "I'm excited, baby," he continued."We still have plenty of time, Enzo. I don't want to stress about that. I just want to savor each moment with you." I hugged him.For no reason, I felt like I was going to cry. This makes me completely happy. I don't know what the future holds, but one thing is certain: everything will be alright whenever I am with Enzo.I kept searching the web to see if there was any news about Kylie. Her social
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 44. And she's back!
Enzo Denver.I'm more excited than ever and cannot wait to organize everything back home. I informed my mother about Kyla and me and that we will be expecting a new family member in the future, and she appeared pleased about it. However, she had a few questions about my wife, and I couldn't tell her the whole story. I just have to make an excuse to cover Kyla's identity.I sense my mother's suspicion. I eagerly await Kyla's full disclosure, knowing it will come soon. She's going to confess to me soon.Nanay Meline is back at her place, and Kyla's biological mother is under strict guard again. One of the caregivers around there is a friend of Diezel, and temporarily, that person gives us information about the inside. Morris also continues investigating more about Kyla's biological mother's side. He had already told me that Kyla's family was not ordinary, as they belonged to the mafia world.I know what the mafia is up to. Dirty money and illegal activities are part of their businesses

Narrator's POV.Kyla loses consciousness, and Kylie takes over. She undresses Kyla, making sure that she has all her items with her. Kylie takes every accessory on Kyla's body, including the engagement ring that Enzo gave her. Kylie doesn't leave any items at all. She then asks Dominic to bring Kyla to their hideout.Kylie and Dominic have been traveling from Singapore to South Korea. They have been in a relationship for a while. Secretly, they see each other without Enzo's knowledge.Working as a team was the best excuse Kylie could give Enzo. Kylie loves Enzo, but more likely, she only loves Enzo's money. Kylie did a makeover and copied how Kyla had changed her image physically. It was easy, as people posted Enzo and Kyla's photos online, especially during their medical mission back home before they traveled for their honeymoon."I will get out first, and don't follow me. Look after my sister, okay? And don't touch her, Dominic! Or else I will abort this baby!" Kylie uttered angril
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 46. Kylie, Kyla?
Enzo Denver.I have devised a plan for Kyla’s biological mother to escape from the facility. With the help of Diezel and Ranger, we worked things out from it. I will entrust Kyla’s mother to a facility owned by Diezel's close friend.“Don’t worry too much about this, Enzo. Leave it to us,” Ranger said with a wicked smile.I shook my head and chuckled a little bit. Ranger often comes and goes like a wind. He’s the youngest amongst all the Mondragons who can move freely around.“Here, grab this.” Diezel handed me a box of instant noodles.“That’s for your wife, not for you,” Diezel smirked at Ranger after handing me the box. I shook my head.“What the hell, Dez. That’s plenty. Do you want Enzo and Kyla’s future kid to become instant noodles?” Ranger laughed hard.I gritted my teeth and chuckled. “Asshole. I’m not gonna let my wife eat this. It’s unhealthy. Here, take it back.” I pushed it against Deizel’s chest, and the lunatic laughed. Ranger then quickly grabbed it from Diezel.“Hey

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

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

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
