The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 61. Nearly there
Enzo Denver.I constantly monitored the tracker on the flat screen, and I couldn't relax anymore as the rain started to pour and the sky grew darker.The staff kept offering me hot drinks as the air outside had become cold. I can't thank them enough. They treated me well, and I could feel the pressure they were under as they did their best to help and accommodate my needs.Conrad is at his final meeting for the day. So, I'm left alone again, waiting for the cargo ship. I can't wait to see Kyla. I'm dying to see her. I settled in, my eyes fixed on the screen. The anticipation of seeing Kyla was overwhelming, filling my stomach with butterflies and making my heart race excitedly.After three hours, the sky got darker than usual. The wind was howling, and the rain started to fall in big drops. The typhoon was now inside the Pacific boundary. My jaw tightened, and I was worried as hell as I looked ahead.I couldn't see clearly fifty meters away as the heavy rain poured. Then, everything

Kyla Eva."Thank you, Diego," I said.Diego quickly wrapped the thick jacket around me, followed by an oversized raincoat. The rain was becoming heavier, and we were ready to leave the ship. I glanced at Diego, and his eyes revealed his worry."You are wet, Diego. Aren't you going to change before we go?""No need. I'll get wet regardless. What's the point? Let's focus on finding a place for us to stay tonight, Kyla. So, don't worry about me getting wet. It's not a big deal," he chuckled as he jerked his head up, letting the raindrops hit his face."I will change once we find a hotel. Not a problem," he said with a beaming smile.Diego comes across as a gentleman. Despite his numerous tattoos, he is kind-hearted and gentle. If you don't know him, you will think that he is a bad person who can easily kill someone."Thank you, Diego," I looked at him sincerely. "I owe you a lot. I don't know how to repay you, but if you need my help, I will be there for you one day."He smiles mischiev
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 63. I love you
Kyla Eva.My eyes widened, and my heart drummed hard inside me. I couldn’t even hear the rain—it was completely blank.“Kyla,” he whispered again.My lips trembled, and my tears fell together with the heavy rain.If this is a dream, I don’t want to wake up anymore. I just want it to last forever. I shut my eyes and hugged him. “Enzo. . .” I whispered.I want to believe that this is real. Yes, this is real. I am hugging him for real. I can feel his warm body. I can smell his scent amongst the raindrops. I can hear his heartbeat, and it’s beating fast.“Kyla, I’m sorry it took so long, darling. I’m sorry.”He rubbed my back, igniting sparks inside. I opened my eyes in surprise.Oh my, this is no longer a dream. This is real. Enzo is here!“Enzo? Oh my God. Y-You are real?” My voice cracked as I gently touched his face. We stared, and I cried. I just can’t believe it!“I’m real, Kyla. It’s me, darling. I’m here in the flesh.” He hugged me again, much tighter this time.“Kyla, I’m sorry.
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 64. It was you
Kyla Eva.We settled in one of the famous hotels in town, and Diego stayed in the next room beside us. I was tired, and after what happened, my body totally gave up, and I slept longer than usual. Enzo took good care of me overnight. He never left my side until I fell asleep.When I finally opened my eyes, the sun was bright. I thought I was still dreaming and still inside the cargo shipment vessel because I could still feel my head, and it seemed like I was still floating. The smell of the sea and the sound of seagulls added to the illusion.I rolled over to see the other side, but Enzo was not there anymore. I rubbed my eyes as I slowly stood and looked around before stepping out. I stepped out of the room to check the lounge part and saw Enzo talking to someone using his phone."Thank you, Conrad. I owe it a lot to you, bro," he told someone on the phone.I paused and watched him in silence. He didn't notice me yet.Life really is full of surprises. I was ready to let go and forge
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 65. The one
Enzo Denver.It feels good that she's here. It completes me.I know she is attempting to convey everything, and I simply cannot comprehend why she feels the need to pretend. But after all, I want to listen to her."I love you, Kyla. It was you and not your twin sister, Kylie. The only thing I couldn't understand was why you had to pretend. You could have told me your real name at that time," I gritted.I was holding her hand, and I felt her shaking. I don't want to hold back anymore. I just want everything to be in the right place for us."I'm sorry if I wasn't there during those times when you needed me. I had no idea, Kyla, that I was dealing with two different people with different personalities... I accepted that and have grown to love both the good and bad sides of you. I didn't know."She dipped her head, and her tears fell again. I wiped it.It's painful to see her like this, as she's sensitive, caring, and kind, unlike Kylie.This is Kyla, and these are her defining traits. S

Enzo Denver."Is that all you need?" Conrad asked in the line."Yes, bro. This is all. Thank you for your help.""Not a problem. I will fix this all today and see you tomorrow at the top.""Okay. I will see you then." I ended the call and sighed in silence.The view from up here is breathtaking. You can see everything down below, and it's not far from the port. Today, I hired a few services for Kyla's beauty treatment—everything for room service. She refused to have them, but I insisted. She needs some relaxation. Her body needs that, even if she tells me not to worry about it. I didn't let her win at this. I want to treat her like a queen.I have already made my plan, which will finally work at dawn tomorrow evening."Here, long lost brother. How's your day?" I looked at Diego. We are on the balcony for our entrée. I shook my head and smiled as I sat down.He cleared his throat while munching a slice of chocolate cake."I'm good, Enz. Lovely day, isn't it?" He rested his back on th

Kyla Eva.The simple dinner I thought Enzo had prepared turned out to be a surprise wedding.The top deck of the hotel was covered in beautiful lights. The showers of rain were like a blessing for us. There's this big canopy on top, and that serves as our protection.Diego and Conrad were standing next to Enzo. I initially got confused, but when Enzo kneeled down to propose marriage, I couldn't say any more. My tears fell, and the only response I could offer was a nod.I cried the whole time while Enzo delivered his words of love. I did not expect that. I had no preparations, but the ladies who pampered me made me beautiful tonight. Diego and Conrad were our witnesses, and I was thankful for that.I embraced Enzo tightly and kissed him. "I love you, Enzo. You are my life, and thank you for coming into my life for the second time.""I love you more, Kyla. You are my everything."The night was filled with laughter, together with the two people who witnessed our marriage. My tears were
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 68. I don't mind it.
Kyla Eva.Enzo's hot kisses made me moan in silence. I was about to ask, but I could no longer say a word when his mouth landed on mine sweetly.After a delightful dessert, Enzo's kisses followed, and here we were unstoppable with our kisses.My body arched in sweet agony when I felt his weight on top of me. My hands reached out and touched him everywhere, to his broad chest, stomach, and all over.His skin against mine gives an incredible heat sensation. He buried his face in my neck and ran his hands over my body.I moaned in sweet sensation when I felt him sucking and kissing the skin behind my ear."Oh, Enzo…""I want to taste you, darling. I love you," he whispered and kissed me again.I tried to hold my moan, but I couldn't keep it. There was no holding from him and nothing left to hold back from me. I never dreamt that I would feel possessed tonight. I wanted him so much, and I wanted him to fill me up.Enzo's kisses went down until they reached both of my peaks. He kissed the

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
