The Billionaire's Substitute Wife... She's Back With Twins 063 Strange
Tess's Pov..I pause for a moment, considering his request. Looking at Alex, he looked like he was really hoping I say yes.I shrug my shoulder and then I huddled my lips together, kind but firm. "I would've loved to but I can't Alex. To be honest, I have a lot on my plate right now, I doubt that I have time to spare," I say and paused, studying his reaction."Plus, I'm taking my kids to the park this weekend. I'm so hooked up" I continued. "But I promise to make out time soon. I'm sorry" I added, a pleading look registered on my face.Alex's face registers disappointment but he recovers quickly. "It's fine, Tessa. You don't have to apologize, I completely understand" he says, managing a weak smile.I noticed his not so bright face, I sort of felt guilty, I mean we're friends and I should treat him like one, if not for anything he has been genuinely good to me over the years.I look up at him, and before he could say another word, I step in. "You know what? I will shift my schedule. L

Lisa's PovI was so sure Aaron has moved on, but for some reason I've refused to give up on what we shared in the past.He doesn't even want to see me, he doesn't pick my calls and he doesn't respond to my messages.I even went as far as sending suicidal messages to him but he didn't bulge. The Aaron I used to know would have come running to me. But I guess none of that mattered to him anymore.Those tricks doesn't work on him anymore.After all these years, he's still in love with that leach, I still have to compete with her for Aaron's love."Gosh! I feel like strangling her right now," I fumed inwardly, pacing around my room.My phone buzzes with notifications and I rushed to see what it was, I've been keeping a tab on Tessa since she returned.I never thought that she would come back after all these years. Not after what she thought she heard.Gabriel, my friend from way back, who's only helping me out because he believes that something would happen between us. He's just been delu

Lisa's Pov.I never thought that Tessa and Alexander's path would cross, not after what happened between him and Aaron years ago.Knowing Alexander too well, he must be up to something, Tessa might be a very attractive woman, her beauty must have charmed Alexander but there was more to it.For all I know he's a perv, he can't keep his rod in his pants, he's clearly lusting after her body.But wait, I muttered inwardly, the thoughts racing."Is Alexander seeking some sort of revenge for what Aaron did to him?" I mumbled. "This is getting interesting,"I let out, my tone laced with sarcasm and a smirk plastered on my face.With what happened between Alexander and I in the past, I think we still have some unfinished business.But before that, I just have to sit back and watch things unfold.**********************************Mara's Pov.I let out a long sigh as the weight of the day weighs down on me. I had just finished an indoor photoshoot section in the outskirt of town.The weather wa

Mara's Pov"Sarah," Dylan called and a woman in her late forties appeared, her face beaming with a smile as she bowed to greet us.I didn't see her the last time I was here, perhaps things has changed around here.Dylan flashed her a warm and said. "Please take her to the room opposite mine," Dylan said specifically, his eyes gleaming as he turned to face me. Turning back to Sarah, he continued. "And please, makes sure she's comfortable, provide with whatever she needs, I don't want her catching a cold," Dylan added, his tone firm.Looking at Dylan giving specific orders to Sarah, on how to make me comfortable, I can't help but blush, my face flustered at how adorable he looked."Yes sir," Sarah responded.I turned to Dylan and muttered. "Thank you," before turning to face Sarah who flashed me a warm smile."This way ma'am," Sarah retorted, leading me upstairs.As I entered the bath tub, I soaked myself in a warm bath, allowing the water to run through my body.After I left the bathr

Dylan's Pov.The drive to Mara's house was a bit awkward as neither of us dared to say anything, the tension hanging around was palpable as Mara stared out of the window.She keeps running away whenever I wanted us to talk. She always looks so nervous and disturbed, more like she's scared of something.I can see fears in her eyes as I stared at her back in the room, I don't know how long is going to take her to trust me, to open up about her fears.One minute she's into me, the next minute she's running off.We were almost close to her house when I finally broke the ice."Are you okay?" I asked, shifting my gaze to her.She nodded, somewhat avoiding my gaze.I took a deep breath and pressed further, my eyes on the road. "Did I say something wrong?" I asked again.This time, she shifted her gaze to me and sighed. "Of course not, you didn't say anything wrong, it's just…," she retorts, her eyes flickering as it met mine and then she went silent."Just what?" I asked calmly, trying to ke

Tessa's POV….I listened attentively as Mara gave me the details of how her day went and how she ended up in Dylan's house.Truth is, Mara is hurting, she loves Dylan but she can't commit. I'm not so sure she has moved past the trauma from the past."Look Mars," I began, holding her hands firmly. "Not everyone is like that monster," and before I could finish Mara cuts in sharply."So I thought when Andrew came into my life, and the man before and before..….." she blurted out. "They might love you at first and then suddenly they just switch up on you like you mean nothing to them. I've been there before, severally," she added, her frustrations clearly seen.I leaned closer, still holding onto her hands. "I understand Mars. But you can't keep hurting yourself, if you love him this much, why not give it a shot, we'd never know," I said, caressing her hand gently.Both of us went silent, I can see Mars struggling to keep her emotions in check.Suddenly, her gaze softens a bit. "It's not t

Tessa's Pov"Mommy? You know Jesse's Dad?" Zoey asked, looking at me.For a moment I zoned out, the thought of Aaron being Jesse's Dad engulfed me.Jolting out of my trance as Zoey said that, I tried to maintain my composure. "Uhmm, Yes sweetheart, we've met once," I uttered calmly.Aaron seemed lost at first, but quickly he recovers and said. "Yes, I know your mom," he said, putting a strain on the mom while looking at me surprisingly.I never thought Aaron remarried, and even has a son. Wait, Zoey said Jesse was a year older, does that mean Lisa had a son for Aaron and he hid it while we were together.It wasn't adding up, so I frowned and sighed inwardly.More reason why I need to keep my kids away from him. He has a family now, so he should focus on that and leave me the hell alone.A smile crossed my face as I looked at Jesse."Jesse, we will see you some other time, we have to go now. Take care of yourself,""Mommy, we aren't even done playing. We don't want to go yet," Xavier ob

Aaron's Pov"Uncle A," Jesse called as I drove into the family mansion."Yes, Jesse. I hope you had fun today?" I asked, facing him with a warm smile plastered on my face."Yes I did," he answered with a nod, he seemed really excited. "Can I play with my new friends again?" He asked and I rolled my eyes, not knowing what to say.I'm so sure Tessa wouldn't want that. But then, how do I explain to Jesse."Please Uncle A," he begged, tugging onto my hands as he pouted his mouth."Okay, fine… you don't have to make that face," I said, chuckling. "I will have to ask their mom first. How about that?" I asked, my eyes on him."Yay! Thank you Uncle A," he chimed happily, running inside, I hear him tell my mom little stories about his new friends while mom carries him upstairs."Aaron?" Vanessa called, approaching me with a broad smile. "I made a cupcake, using Mom's recipe and it came out well. I wanted Dante to have a taste first but since you're here, come have a bite," she retorted."Uhmm,

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.It's been six months of Aaron hitting on me. We're still married although we aren't officially together but he insisted he'd do things he hadn't done before, maybe that'd make me love him again.The thing is, I love him. He doesn't even have to do too much but I still agreed, I was enjoying every bit of him hitting on me.The circumstances surrounding our marriage didn't give us the chance to get to know each other before marriage. So why not?The flowers, the surprise gifts, the vacation s, the family outing. Everything was so surreal.Aaron is a sweet man. I knew he was, but now I can see it clearly.So, today Dylan is planning a surprise engagement party for Mara.It was hard to hide this away from Mara. That's what surprises are for anyways.Mara on the other hand is two weeks pregnant, planning to surprise Dylan with the news.It's raining surprises this period.I'm so happy for my girl.She's in her lover girl era. Things are different now, she's more open about her

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!" Mara squeaked, the weight of the chaos earlier, pressing down on her.She leans cl

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
