The Billionaire's Substitute Wife Knight in Armani
The giant hand of the clock struck seven o'clock, and an elegantly dressed lady in red sashayed out of the elevators, her stilettos clicking against the floors.Her beautiful frame reflected against the wall mirrors, and her cologne spread through the air.She stopped in front of the top floor and lifted her hand, ready to push the door bell, when a masculine hand with sprinkles of hair wrapped around her wrist,And pulled her into the corner of the hallway.It happened so swiftly that she didn't get the opportunity to see his face before she was pulled into a rock hard chest."Do you really wanna ruin your career for that jerk? He's fucking using you!" That voice thick with sexiness was as familiar as her own job."Mr. Stark?" She spoke for the first time, and a frown marred his face, then he pushed her a good distant away from him.Because that was no Ava Stark, his wife.The lady in blond hair pulled off her shades and stared at him in surprise, and it was his turn to mutter her n
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife Trust
The car halted at the back of a private establishment which boasted of a monumental building surrounded by fresh trees.It reminded Eve of England,and she felt nostalgic for a second."You can remove the hoodie, I bought this place for the quiet." Alessandro broke the long silence as soon as they were out of the car, and Eve was surprised that he sometimes needed serenity.She had assumed him to be the stereotypical playboy who spent his free time in the arms of women and...That wasn't any of her business. They stepped into the building which smelt of books, suddenly reminded her of those days spent at the libraries.She missed them, and instantly fell in love with the building which seemed to be a private museum of some sort."Do you ever open this place to the public?" Eve asked, breaking her own silence.There was barely any sign of another human there apart from both of them, but the floors sparkled of neatness.Alessandro had a forlorn look in his eyes when he replied, "Not fo
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife Promises
"Bloody hell."Eve cursed beneath her breath as soon as she woke up to the bright sun rays which somehow penetrated into her head.She was shivering with cold, and yet her body was soaked in a pool of her own heat.And to make it worse, it was as if that banging headache had only tripped.She felt ten times worse than before she went to bed, and her feet were suddenly too heavy as well as her whole body."Fucking stupid sickness." She cursed again when she almost tripped over the table.The room was empty and felt like it was zero degrees, but her skin itched of the perspiration which clung to her clothes.Her head was heavy, but she forced feet to move, staggering and holding onto walls and tables as she finally made it to the bathroom.But her teeth was clenched tightly, and the very thought of getting into the tub was terrifying.It felt like an hour later when Eve found her way out of the room in the thickest sweats and pants she could find, her hair wet and piled on top of her he
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife Resisting Mr. Stark
Eve wasn't hysterical on the third night she woke up in the middle of the night.And for the first time in a while, her mouth didn't taste so bitter anymore, but it did feel like crap.That shivering cold was gone, and all she felt now was weakness and burning heat...From the body mashed closely with hers under the duvet.Eve pried her eyes open to the darkness and inhaled deeply, her eyes darting to the muscled arm wrapped around her.The soft breathing and warm flesh beside hers was comforting, and she swallowed hard, feeling lightheaded again.She was all sweaty now, and felt as though she hadn't washed up in ages. She also needed to brush her teeth and change into something else that wasn't sweat pants.Alessandro had stuffed her body into it last night, after he cleaned her up.Oh dear, her skin heated up for another reason, and she bit into her cheeks, shutting her eyes as the memory of last night flooded into her brain.It had been the second night she had woken up after that
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife His Wife
Alessandro Stark had become the ideal husband.Scratch that, there wasn't a perfect word to describe how much he had suddenly become the best.During the days that Eve lay in bed recovering, and only came downstairs for some air and change of environment once in a day, he took responsibility around the house.She woke up each morning to the aroma of breakfast prepared by him, then he dressed Zoe and drove her to school,After which he returned home where Eve had showered and changed into loose slacks, yet again.On the days she washed her hair, it became a habit that he simply dried it for her. Lunch and dinner would follow, and he reminded her to take her drugs.In fact, he handed her the pills himself as well as the water, and watched as she gulped it down her throat.She slept with him next to her, their body heats mingling under the duvet, and sometimes she rolled into his arms.'Sometimes' happened for six days, and on the seventh when she woke up to realise that she had complete
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife His Mistress
Slowly, the words flowed from Eve's brain, and she spoke them, "yes, it's mine." She had thought of denying it, of saying it was only a fake ID that she had used in the past.But there was no need, there was a picture of her family in that wallet, of days before she had drifted apart from them.And it wasn't going to be possible explaining why there were two identical girls holding hands as they smiled widely for the camera.Eve stared at the open wallet now, the different ATM and ID cards spilling out like her lies.It was all over."Wow, I...don't even know what to say." Eve looked upwards to the manager whose lips were trembling."I...I mean, I knew, I already found out, but hearing you confirm it. Wh... Since when? What happened to the real Ava? Did...did she die?"Wendy had stood and was pacing the expansive dining room.Eve watched her silently as she freaked out with so many questions, and waited till she had calmed down and taken a seat opposite her again."She disappeared o
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife Funeral
What to do when your husband was speaking with his mistress over the phone?There had to be a goddamn course for that, with Eve winning an award in the department of awkwardness.She pushed herself off the wall seconds into that call, and made herself busy doing the most irrelevant things.Like arranging the clothes in the closet and then picking up her phone to browse what she didn't even need.Somehow when that call ended and Alessandro turned to her, she had found herself on YouTube browsing salsa moves."It's her father, he just died." Eve looked up when she heard those words, and met the eyes of Alessandro in mixed emotions."I'm so sorry." Eve muttered, taking his palm in hers instinctively. Alessandro looked confused and lost for a moment, staring into space.It was Eve who broke the silence. "Were you close?" He inhaled deeply before he answered, "yeah, we were. Lydia and I were childhood friends, I used to spend a good part of my time with him. He taught me how to play che
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife Eve's Knight
Eve stepped out of the bathroom to find Lydia Crane waiting in front of a running sink, her perfect figure reflecting in the mirrors which surrounded the stall.There was no second guessing that her husband's mistress had come to give her a piece of her mind.And Lydia didn't waste time making her intentions clear."Are you done putting a show, Ms. Goody Two Shoes?" Eve wondered if Lydia and Bella had been sisters in their past lives or something.The two had a way of reenacting some teenage movie where they were the bad bitches."Hello to you too, Lydia. Sorry about your loss." Eve said instead, and turned on the tap in front of her, eager to be out of Lydia's sight.But she had just put her palms under the running water when small elegant fingers reached out and turned it off."What's the use of washing it when your soul stinks? Just like your hole which has been all over the place." Eve sucked in a deep breath and counted to ten, her shoulders stiffened in determination.No, she

The Billionaire's Substitute Wife Epilogue: Flowers
Seven Months Later An orchestra ensemble was playing softly in the most luxurious hall in the heart of New York. It was one of the properties Alessandro Stark had gifted his fiancée, Eve Wilson, when he proposed to her months ago. Their love life had swept the whole of America by storm, especially when the Ava Wilson that the whole world had known as Alessandro's wife exposed everything that had happened on TV. The months after Ava had surprised everyone by telling the truth for the first time in her life had been a rollercoaster. At first, fans were confused since they had just realised that the celebrity they loved all those months hadn't been Ava.

Durin
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife Spring
It started out as a kiss, but soon went beyond a mere locking of lips.It was like having two souls merging together, hearts locking in an eternal bliss which completed them both, and made them whole.He tasted her tears which rolled down to her lips, his palm cradling her face like a babe as their eyes fluttered shut.His fingers glided down her arm and cupped her waist, slipping into the shirt and moving around to her toned stomach...Except that it wasn't flat anymore, and that unmistakable bulge had him stilling his movements.His fingers stopped moving, his lips wrenching from hers with a pop."Is this what I think it is? You're pregnant?" His eyes were wide open in bewilderment, his tone ladened with shock and delight.It reminded Eve of the drawer full of pregnancy kits, and she stepped away from him, breathing hard and walking towards a seat."Eve, why are you not answering my questions? When were you going to tell me that you are carrying our baby?" That rage was returning t
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife Summer in Winter
It was one thing to be a lover of kids all her life, but Eve soon realised that carrying one's own child wasn't as fun as she had imagined it to be.She had barely entered into the second month of her first trimester, and she already felt like she was carrying a trailer on her stomach.She was blotted and weak most of the time, and going to work had become a tedious task.For instance, being around so many daycare kids whom she had taken pride in being their teacher before, now gave her headache,And also filled her mind with fears of taking care of her own kid properly.She felt nauseous and heavy and everything simply had her overreacting.It was nights like this, when she returned to her apartment with take out that she missed Alessandro, terribly.The last time she checked, he was unaware of her existence and was gracing the covers of magazines with Ava by his side.Eve forced her feet to move, a bead of sweat rolling down her temple from climbing the stairs.The elevator had brok
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife The Conglomerate Chairman's Authority
"I wonder why we've been forced to sit with this classless family of cheats and gold-diggers. I can't believe we all fell for your stupid pretense!"Anastasia Stark was clearly enraged where she sat across the Wilson family in Alessandro's spacious living room, her long legs crossed in front of her.Mr. and Mrs. Wilson were in their best clothes, dressed like they were being hosted by the president of the country.They ignored the angry Stark girl and turned away from the entire Stark family, staring at the television, clearly unbothered.It was only a matter of time before all their plans fell into place.In fact, based on the good news they had received from their star daughter, Ava, the one who had always brought money home, not the other self righteous Eve, it was only a matter of minutes.Soon, Alessandro would come down with Ava by his side and make a grand announcement, and they couldn't possibly imagine what it would be.But knowing how wealthy he was, he was probably going to
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife Manipulative Mrs. Stark
The door to Alessandro's study opened stealthily, and a teary eyed Ava came into view and leaned against the wall, her lips pouted cutely.Alessandro looked up from the screen of his laptop and reclined into his seat, pulling off his glasses."Hey baby, you know your cousin is lying right?" She employed that sweet tone capable of melting ice as she sashayed into the study.Alessandro who sat cross-legged in the executive seat rolled it to her direction and beckoned her to sit on his thighs.Ava smiled softly and perched on his powerful thighs, wrapping her arms around his neck."Daniella is lying, she's been trying to get me to have a threesome with them but I refused, then she ganged up with Anna and decided to set me up. You know I would never do that to you, right?"She was unbuttoning his shirt as she spoke, batting her baby blues at him. Alessandro slipped his fingers in between hers, halting her activity."Yes, I know that the woman I married would never do that." Ava smiled
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife Knight Leonardo?
One Month LaterWinter in the U.K. was one thing that Eve hadn't missed during her stay in America.It was extremely colder this year, and she had to stuff herself in large sweats and jeans, paired with scarves around her neck and head warmer.But the only advantage the clothes had was that Eve wasn't mistaken for Ava on the streets, which had been happening a lot these days.Apparently, she had underestimated how popular her twin's name and image had become when she was living as her.But now, as she walked the streets of London, she kept her head low, aware of Ava's image and ad videos on the billboards surrounding her.Some of them were of her twin with Alessandro, covering the pages of magazines and headlining events together.It hurt to say that they looked good together, as though there was no difference between them.Eve halted at a bus stop just in time for a bus to pull over, and she stepped into it, conscious of the curious eyes alternating between staring at her and looking
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife Back to Default
Morning came with unbearable pain, as reality crashed down on her.How much did it hurt waking up to the man she loved who had just declared that he was also in love with her, knowing she had to be on her way out of his life soon?Eve struggled with so many emotions, tempted even to ditch her sister for once.It was even more painful when she noticed that Alessandro had been awake for a while, staring at her with his head propped against his palm."Morning, beautiful." He muttered softly, and leaned forward to kiss her forehead, his eyes glinting more brightly than the morning sun."Hey" Eve said in response, and he took her hand, bringing her palm to his lips and leaving a soft kiss.Her heart fluttered, butterflies dancing in her stomach.Alessandro made a face, playfully, "Well, I was expecting more than a hey from my wife who just declared her undying feelings for me last night. You feel like bursting with all the love you have for me, right?" The shameless narcissist!Eve pushed
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife Declaration
Lies lies lies. Eve was determined not to fall bait to whatever her sister was planning, and pushed herself upwards to her feet, dragging her wet clothes with her and walking past her delusional twin. Ava was either cooking up something or just hallucinating, and Eve wasn't going to be her pawn. First she had accused Alessandro, and now Leonardo? She almost made it to the door when a voice halted her in her steps. 'I am sorry for sending those messages to the douchebag, but Eve wouldn't divorce him despite that I promised to help her! I only thought that he would be forced to leave her and show her his true colours if he found out the truth, that's the only reason I agreed to work with Bella.' It was clearly the voice of Leonardo, and Eve turned slowly, stunned to her bones. Ava was holding up her phone where those damning words were coming from. "Wh.. What?" Eve stuttered. Ava sucked in a deep breath and came close to her, taking her hands and leading her to the bed again.
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife Shattered Mirror
Months ago, Eve had prayed for this moment when Ava would return and she could go back to her normal life.But now, her head was swirling and her heart aching as reality crashed down on her.Her lips hung open, but no words could come out of it.She was still thinking of what to say when footsteps padded on the grand stairs, shattering the block in her train of thoughts.It could be anyone who would walk in and see her with her sister.Eve started to panic, her fingers trembling and tightening around the door knob, but she soon felt herself pulled into the room, the door shut quietly,Leaving her alone with her sister, whose expression proved that Eve wasn't hallucinating as she had hoped."I...um, you are...back?" Eve stuttered, her brain barely able to function amidst all the thoughts and anxiety blocking its passage.Ava smiled and took her hands, pulling her into a hug."Thanks so much for standing in for me, sister. I will take it from here."Thanks for standing in? She could tak
