The Billionaire's Substitute Wife... She's Back With Twins 026 The kiss
Aaron I came back home and didn't meet Tessa in the living room waiting for me like she always does."Welcome home sir" I heard Leilani's voice as she walked into the living room. "Hmmm," I hummed and made to take my leave but stopped and turned, facing her."Where is Tessa?" I asked softly."She's been waiting for you but she's in her room now, she said I should let her know when you get home, I will just go and let her know that you're back now," Leilani said calmly.I nodded and left.I got to my room, took a shower, and changed into something casual. I was working on my laptop when I heard a knock on the door, I raised an eyebrow and let the person in.The door cracked open and Tessa walked in, looking ravishing in the nightwear she was wearing, my heart was racing faster than l could imagine.It has always been like that these past few months, my heart would race faster whenever Tessa is around me, I don't know what this is but I can't control the way I act whenever I see her,

TessaI hurriedly left Aaron's room and entered my room, he didn't say anything, he just stared at me till l left.A smile crossed my lips as I lay down on my bed, I didn't know why I ran off like that, it just felt so surreal that Aaron would kiss me and honestly I wanted it too, I enjoyed every bit of it."Gosh! What was I thinking, I shouldn't have run off like that" I screamed inwardly. I wanted this as much as he does but I didn't want to be just a rebound girl to him, I wanted more and Aaron obviously sees me as his substitute wife that he will definitely toss away when he finds the woman he loves. But then again, he had a sincere look on his face when he kissed me, he looked like he had waited all his life for that moment but he doesn't even like me, gosh! I don't even know what to think anymore. I shrugged back to my bed and my mind went back to the kiss, it was magical and it felt so good, I knew Aaron was not as mean as he acted, the way he laughed with me back there in hi

Tessa"Wait what?" Mara screamed, staring at me."I know, I shouldn't have but it was a lot to take in at the time, plus I just don't want to be his rebound girl or something, I want more, Mara," I said outrightly.Mara gazed at me, bearing an understanding look, she stretched out her hands and took my hands, patting them softly."I know T, and I understand. Don't worry I'm sure he doesn't know how lucky he is to have you as a wife, did you guys talk about it?" she asked, flashing me a smile."Well, I haven't seen him, I woke up late and by the time I did, he had gone to work but then he gave Leilani a note to give me, he booked a spa section and lunch for me" I retorted, my face beaming with smiles. "Oh! That's so sweet, these two best friends are obviously the sweetest, I mean, Dylan had an outfit delivered to me and then Aaron booked you a spa section and lunch, gosh!" she half screamed, placing her hand on her chest in the most dramatic way I've ever seen which elicited a chuckle
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife... She's Back With Twins 029 Unleashed
DylanI watched the look on Aaron's face as he talked about Tessa, the spark in his eyes was undeniably visible, this was the same person who couldn't stand Tessa and her guts, I just knew he liked her, just took him long enough to realize it."You both are friends now huh?" I asked with a smirk plastered on my face.Aaron glared at me and gulped down the contents in his glass, he was struggling to bottle up his feelings, his eyes gleaming so hard."You don't really need to answer that, your eyes and expression already gave you away, but what happens to "I don't want her around" I teased, using my fingers to emphasize more on what I was saying.He looked at me and smirked, he poured himself another drink and furrowed his eyebrows at me."She's my wife, Dylan, aren't we supposed to be friends?" he questioned with a smirk on his face."Well, the last time I checked, you couldn't stand her guts and boldness, what changed?" I asked, glaring at him.He gazed at me and smirked without sayin
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife... She's Back With Twins 030 My mystery man
DylanThe next morning, I slowly turned, my eyes still shut as a smile crossed my lips, I used my hand to touch the other side of the bed but then, there was no one there, I opened my eyes instantly to discover that Mara wasn't there.I stood up from the bed, I thought she might be in the bathroom, I checked the bathroom and she wasn't there either, that was when I discovered that her clothes that were on the floor weren't there. She's gone, I slowly muttered, bearing a blank expression.I walked back to the bed and sat down, wondering why she left without telling me or even drop a note."Did I do something wrong?" I queried inwardly, I walked to where my clothes were and took my phone from my back pocket to call her, I need to know why she left like that and if she got home safely.Her phone rang multiple times and she didn't pick up, I shrugged back to the bed, worried sick but then my mind drifted off to last night, it was one hell of a crazy night, I've never enjoyed being intimat
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife... She's Back With Twins 031 A piece of my mind
Tessa My days with Aaron have been blissful so far and I really hoped it would remain that way, sometimes I wonder what will become of me when Aaron finally finds Lisa, I can't even imagine how everything is going to turn out, Aaron has been nothing short of sweet, loving and kind to me but it just felt like I was living the life I've dreamt so much about in a borrowed time. What happens when Lisa returns? Why do I feel like I'm going to get hurt at the end? Do I hold back my feelings for him just because of my fears? I shrugged back to the couch as many questions ran through my head, and then a smile suddenly crossed my lips as I reminisced on how sweet Aaron had been these past few days. He even went as far as making breakfast for me this morning before he left for work, he followed me to my grandmother's house, and even my grandma was quite surprised to see him that day. He's just an intentional man and he always sweeps me off my feet whenever he does these things. My mind slo

Aaron"You cooked?" Vanessa asked surprisingly."What? Am I not allowed to cook for my wife?" I said in my defense."Did you just call her your wife Aaron? Whooah is this my brother? What has she done to you? Like how did you go from hating her to loving her this much?" Vanessa asked, grinning from ear to ear."Love? I don't know about that Vanessa, I just care about her way too much, I don't know if is love yet but what I do know is that there is Lisa whom I used to love and I think I still do, it's crazy" I lamented."Hmmm," Vanessa hummed."Well, I'm sure you know what's best for you and all I can do is support you, I have a confession to make though, but before I say anything, you have to promise me that you won't be mad at me for too long" she said."Out with it already" I responded."You have to promise Aaron" she insisted."Okay, fine. I promise" I said calmly."I spoke with Tessa," she said and paused.I rolled my eyeballs as if l could see her."I know, I know you asked me no
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife... She's Back With Twins 033 Unhinged
AaronI couldn't believe my eyes, that Lisa I was looking for over a year was standing before me"Li….Lisa" I called out faintly. She smiled and walked to where I was still standing in shock and engulfed me in a warm hug.I had a lot of things going through my head as she hugged me, I was supposed to be happy that the woman I've been yawning to find for a year was standing right before me and in my arms but no, I had a mixed feelings about her return. She gazed at me as she splitted from the hug."Are you not happy to see me after this past months" she said, bearing a sad look.I glared at her and replied "Of course not Lisa, I'm just overwhelmed and at the same time I have a lot of questions to ask you, I need answers Lisa or don't you think so?" I queried.I watched as tears rolled down her cheeks instantly, she walked slowly to the chair in front of me and sat down."I left because I didn't want them to hurt you, I love you so much Aaron and I can't stand any evil befall you or y

Tessa's Pov."Okay Tes. Why is everywhere dark?" Mara cuts in, unable to hide her distaste."I'm surprised myself," I lied, fighting the urge to laugh and unveil."I think we should find another restaurant. They've probably closed," Mara countered but before she could say another one, everywhere lights up.Dylan is in the spotlight, he's kneeling with one leg, and holding a red box.Mara's eyes are wide open, she turns and gave me a sharp but excited look. "You knew all along,"I nod, my face beaming with a smile.Aaron and everyone else surfaced, eliciting a chuckle from Mara.Okay, I didn't see this coming. "Tessa I'm holding you down for this. How where you able to pull this off without any loopholes?" she asked, unable to hide her excitement."I try," I retorted, smiling back at her.Dylan's face gleamed as he stared deep into Mara's eyes. "From the first time I set my eyes on you, Babe. I knew you we're the one. Thank you for giving us a chance, thank you for loving me,"Mara is a

Every kid wants a happy family.As we walked to the school parking lot. Zoey chimed in. "Mommy? Are you and Daddy friends now?"Her question throws me off a little. But quickly I recovered and offered a warm smile. "Yes, baby. We're friends. You like that, don't you?"She nods excitedly. "Does that mean Daddy doesn't have to go home after putting us to sleep?" she asked, her voice bubbly.I furrowed my eyebrows, a smile tugged at my lips.

Eleanor asked, her gaze shifting to Aaron.Aaron nods."Don't stress it. I have to go now. Sure you're good?" Eleanor asked, her voice soft.Aaron nods again, giving her a small smile. "Yeah,"Eleanor leans over Aaron and kissed his cheeks. "That's a relief. Talk to you later,"She throws a smile my way before heading to the door."Today sucks!"

Aaron's Pov Lisa's eyes glint with a disturbing calm. "Dylan, of course you don't know that. I saved Aaron that day and he knows," her voice is firm but lacks its usual confidence.Dylan scoffs. "Oh, stop with the lies, Lisa. You're nothing but a two timing manipulative liar,"Okay now, I'm taken aback by Dylan's words. I knew he never liked Lisa and never shied away from saying it but this is new, what is he driving at?Lisa's face contorts with rage, her composure shattering like glass. "You never liked me, of course you'd say anything to downgrade me," she taunted.Dylan turns to me. "Your accident was all staged by this bitch, then she swobs in and saves the day, making it look like she saved your life. I try to tell you but you wouldn't listen," Dylan said, his words clear and direct.I'm really confused. Lisa lied about saving me, all for what?My whole body explodes on the inside, hearing Dylan's revelation, my mind actually can't calculate this.Lisa staged an accident, this

Aaron's Pov.After I got Lisa's message, threatening to hurt Tessa and my kids if I don't agree to meet up.I knew that was the last straw.I might've ignored these signs in the past because I respected what we use to share.But one thing I can't take from her it's threatening my family.I need to put a stop to her madness. Damn what use to be.I had invited her over, trying to play her little games. I involved everyone, including Tessa and thankfully she didn't decline.I watched Lisa walk into my living room, on a black hoodie, and a shade, looking like she's on the run, a forced smile on her face. "Aaron!" She exclaimed dramatically, taking a seat beside me.Her face falls flat as she didn't get the reaction she expected. She looks at me, waiting for me to speak up.Wanting to play her little tricks, I managed a smile. "So, how's life treating you, Lisa," I ask, my tone more skeptical than genuine.She got the hint."Oh, please. Don't act like you care," she said defiantly.I smirk

Tessa's Pov Aaron hugged me tightly, his hand trailed my hair, stroking them softly.I bury my face in his chest, letting the tears flow. The shock, the anxiety, the weight of Alexander's confession– it all comes pouring out."Everything is going to be fine, I assure you," he whispered into my ears.His words are soothing, making my nerves calm a little, but the shock is still there, bubbling under the surface.But for the first time in a long time I want to believe that everything will be fine.Still in Aaron's arms, my mind raced.Why does he have to smell and feel so good?After a moment, I pulled back and wipe my eyes. Being this close with him it's too dangerous with my feelings for him.I looked at him for a while, his eyes are soft and filled with understanding. My expression faltered. Suddenly I felt the need to apologize to Aaron, for refusing to listen and being so stubborn.I can't even begin to imagine what my stubborness would have caused me. My kid's safety!I didn't kn

Tessa's Pov.With Aaron's evidence in hand, I stride into Alexander's company, a surge of anger courses through me, I could feel my blood boiling.The elevator chimes and I walked out heading towards Alexander's office front door, I walked past his secretary and pulled the door open, ignoring her bickering.She follows me into the office hastily, unable to stop me.Alexander raised his eyebrows, surprised to see me. Quickly he raises his hand, telling his secretary it was okay and she could leave.As his secretary left, he steps in immediately, beating me to it. "Tes, I wasn't expecting you,"I arched my eyebrows at him. "The night you came to my house. Didn't you say you left almost immediately?" I queried, my patience wearing thin.He gulped hard and then his expression gave him away."You perv! How didn't I see through you?" I groaned frustratingly. "How could you do such a thing?"

The Billionaire's Substitute Wife... She's Back With Twins 103 We need to talk
Tessa's Pov."Tessa!" I heard my name and I turned to see who was calling.The face clicks. Vanessa, Aaron's sister.I've seen her a couple of times on video calls but trust me, she looked way prettier in person, she's just a female version of Aaron.A man walked behind her as she approached me, I figured out that was her husband, he looked calm and gentle.I didn't know how to react at first, especially when I shut her out too. I've been meaning to reach out to her one of these days but I guess fate beat me to it."Vanessa," I called out as my face lights up a little and then it falters as guilt crept in.Vanessa notices and nudges my shoulder. "Hey, it's fine, trust me I understand," she assured.Quickly she turned, facing the tall man behind her, her eyes sparkling. "This is Dante, my husband," she introduced.Turning to me, she added. "This is Tessa, Uhmm, Aaron's wife—-," she stuttered but quickly she rephrase her sentence. "Tessa, the twin's Mom," she concluded sharply.Dante no
