The Billionaire's Substitute Wife... She's Back With Twins 041 Resentment
Tessa Here I was, thinking Alexander was as scheming as Aaron said, but it turns out that he was actually right about Aaron the entire time, if only I had listened to him, maybe I would have stick to the contract and bottle up my feelings for Aaron. I was blinded by the love I had for Aaron that I fail to see who he truly was, he used me and I refused to be that vulnerable woman anymore. Why will he lead me on if he didn't feel anything for me? He just made a fool out of me, I must have looked so stupid to him all these while, I thought he loved me but I guess Lisa has his heart. "All men are liars, I fucking hate him" I cried out, as Alexander stared at me without uttering a word. "Calm down Tessa, it's not your fault" Alexander consoled me "Are you ready to go home now?" he asked. "Take me to my grandmother's house, I want to stay very far away from Aaron, I don't want to ever see him" I retorted, tears rolling out of my eyes. "Hmmmmm" he hummed and drove off. "Tessa darli
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife... She's Back With Twins 042 My Friendship
Tessa's PovI locked myself up for two days, crying my eyes out, I was tired, confused and angry, I could hear my grandmother knocking and pleading with me to open the door and hear her out but I ignored her. I wasn't ready to see her, probably because I was still mad at her.Aaron was yet to call me since I left his office, it's been two days and yet no calls from him, I'm so sure his secretary must have told him that I was there but what difference does it make? He has made his choice.He has chosen his first love over me, I should have known, what was I thinking? That Aaron would leave a woman he had loved for the longest time, just to be with me? This was bound to happen anyways But why do I feel used, betrayed and deceived?Aaron knew who he wanted, he knew he still loved Lisa, yet he claimed he was in love with me, he fooled me and I helplessly fell for his cheap tricks.So, all those love and affection Aaron showed me were all fake, gosh! I must have looked so stupid to him.A
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife... She's Back With Twins 043 Twenty-three years ago
TessaI entered the living room to meet the man and woman that was at our house a few days ago, I mean my parents. They both raised an eyebrow as I walked in."Thank you for agreeing to see us" the woman, Gianna said gently, I could see how her emotions were all over the place, she looked happy.I gazed at them, one after the other before I cleared my throat. "I'm sorry for snapping at you both, I know I should have handled the situation differently but I was just angry, I should have known better and I'm sorry, Grandma said you both would be in a better position to explain what happened twenty-three years ago," I said and paused, gazing at them.I watched them swallow hard, before my father, Lorenzo Vargas finally spoke up."It all started when my father, declared me the CEO of Vargas empire" Lorenzo began. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Flashback to twenty-four years ago(A year after Lorenzo was made the CEO)Lorenzo's PovI lost my daughter and my first child Mia died in a ghastly motor accide

Dylan's Pov I watched Aaron lying lifeless on the hospital bed, it's been eight days since the accident and no one has heard from Tessa, her number is not going through and Mara's phone isn't going through either. I don't know what happened, only Aaron has the answers that we seek. Tessa's sudden disappearance looks so strange. Could it be that Tessa found out about Lisa's return? My gaze slowly shifted to Eleanor, who was just glancing at Aaron, she seemed lost and heartbroken seeing her son in that state. "Don't worry he will be fine, the doctor said he's out of danger and he's recuperating just fine and I'm sure he will wake up soon" I said with a reassuring smile, consoling Eleanor who has been moody all day. "Hmmm" she hummed and said nothing. Seeing Aaron like this breaks my heart, I just hope that he gets better soon, I just have to be strong for Eleanor, who looked like her world has crumbled. Vanessa hasn't stopped calling to know if Aaron is conscious, I know she's h
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife... She's Back With Twins 045 I can't be pregnant
Tessa's Pov It's been a week since we got to H city, a whole new life and it's peaceful as long as I'm far away from Aaron. Alexander had told me that Aaron was looking everywhere for me but trust me no matter how hard he tried, he wouldn't be able to find me. I heard he searched all the records at each airport but too sad, we left with my father's private jet. I've discarded everything that reminded me of Aaron, well except for the necklace he got for me, for some reason I was still holding on to it. "I'm done with him" I keep reminding myself. I and Alex are quite close now, he would call me from time to time to check up on me, he's not as bad as Aaron painted him to be. But sometimes I wonder if he actually tried to rape Lisa or it was just a mere accusation. Well, he's been nothing but good to me, he's a great friend and I give him credit. I was getting acquainted with the kind of love and attention my parents showered on me, and I couldn't help but look back to when I cr
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife... She's Back With Twins 046 Setting things right
Lisa's PovI've never been happier, with Tessa out of the way, I can now have Aaron all to myself. After the stunt I pulled back at Aaron's office, I knew Tessa wouldn't be my problem anymore. I made sure I had put Aaron in a tight corner, I emotionally blackmailed him into sympathy, he was trying so hard not to hurt my feelings and I knew it was the right time to strike. I knew Tessa overheard our conversation and that made me so happy, as Aaron took off from the office, running after her, I smirked knowing exactly what I was doing. After this day, Tessa would no longer be my problem, or so I thought. I took the cheque Aaron had offered me and stormed out of the office happily, at least I can pay my debts now, but I'm never letting Aaron go, he used to be mine and he will always be mine.After the stunt I pulled at the hospital, I knew Dylan never liked me, he has always been indifferent about my relationship with Aaron, and I need to watch out for him because he might be keeping
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife... She's Back With Twins 047 You've got this!
Tessa's PovI looked at my mom as we sat on the dining table, having breakfast, I shifted my gaze to my dad and then to my Grandma as a glint of nervousness wash down my body, I didn't know how to break the news of my pregnancy to them.Mara sensed what was going on in my head, she gave me a reassuring nod to go ahead and with that I summoned the courage to break the news to them."Mom, Dad, I have something to tell you both" I let out and they both turned their gaze to me, giving me all their attention."What's the matter darling" Mom asked with concern. "Go on sweetheart, we are listening" Dad said with a smile.Granny gave me a reassuring smile to go on and say what ever it is."I'm pregnant" I announced and waited for their reactions.They both rolled their eyes, and then excitement crept in."Oh my darling, that's good news" Mom muttered excitedly."Tessa, you don't know how excited your mom and I are, about this news, this is the best news we've heard in a very long time" Dad r
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife... She's Back With Twins 048 A new heiress
Tessa's PovI sat at the table with my parents, Mara and Granny. I had attended an event with my parents, an event where all the clan were in attendance, my father's business associates were all there.The Vargas clan was the wealthiest among all the clans, and the way my father gleamed with pride as he introduced me to everyone. "She's so pretty" a lady from one of the clans complimented me.I flashed her a smile. "You don't look bad yourself…." I said"Elizabeth, you can call me Elizabeth," she said, bringing out her hand for a handshake, I smiled and took her hands."Your dress and that of your friend is so nice, I love it. Do you mind linking me up with the brand that made your outfits" she said."Thanks for the compliment, Elizabeth. I made them myself" I retort, gazing at her with a smile plastered on my face."What? You're not only beautiful but you're talented as well, Lorenzo Vargas must be so proud to have you as a daughter and heiress" she praised."Oh! I'm a proud father,

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

Tessa's Pov.Aaron is walking hand in hand with Xavier and Jesse, while I carried Zoey who's jingling with joy.I could see they're excited to see us pick them up together.What can I say? 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. "We'd see,"Aaron hastens to open the door for me. I'm not sure if he heard me and Zoey.He helps Xavier, Zoey and Jesse settle into the car, making sure they're comfortable.As he slides into the driver's seat. He turns to the kids, his face laced with a wide grin."Is anyone hungry?" he ask.The kids bounces up and down, full of energy. "We are!" they exclaimed.A

Tessa's Pov.I shake my head, my expression blank as the officers took Lisa away. Vanessa and Dante are on a video call with Mateo.Apparently, Mateo had declared Lisa wanted.And now, he has her.She's in for a big big trouble. Her karma is here.Vanessa and Dante follows the officers out.I glance at Bill, he's still shocked from what has happened.I'm worried for him but I don't show it."I need to start trusting my guts more. I never really liked her. Now, I know why. Such a cunning bitch," Eleanor breathed, letting out a deep sigh."Aaron, are you alright?" 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
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife... She's Back With Twins 106 The last straw
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?" I snapped, playing the video on my phone and showing it to him.His eyes flickers but it wasn't of gui
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
