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 Crossing the Line
Alessandro Stark yanked off his tie and unbuttoned his jacket, the jaw of his muscles ticking with irritation.Eve sat at the other side which was opposite him, her fingers clasped together.That had been a lot of information to process tonight. Lydia and her dad had wanted part of the Stark shares, and in a way, Ava had played a role in Mr. Crane's deteriorated health.Then Lydia had teamed up with Bella and somehow found out and revealed her schedule to Sean.It was all too much to process.She wondered what Alessandro was thinking with that chiseled jaw set in determination and eyes staring out of the window.He hadn't glanced at her once since they left the Crane penthouse.He must be remembering how disgusted he actually was with her.Eve looked out of the other side of the window, watching the dusk which covered the heavy clouds.Rain was coming with the night. Eve chewed her lower lip and counted backwards, exhausted from all the drama.Alessandro didn't have to worry about m
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife Pleasure
He tasted like mint and good wine, addictive and maddening.His touch was lethal, driving her crazy with that expertise sweep of his tongue into the warm tavern of her mouth, sucking off any resolve she had made to avoid him.It was impossible to wake away now, when he had set her body and soul on fire, his head slanting to the side to get better access of her lips.It was as though Eve was kissing him for the first time. She thirsted and burned for him, her fingers gripping tightly to his shirt as she hungered to merge into his skin.Like something she had been missing since, she clung to him, returning his kisses with equal feverish need, her body potty in his arms."Fuck, baby, I don't think I can fucking stop now." Alessandro grunted against her lips in a low voice, her nipples tightening in her robe.She didn't want to stop either, but she was too far gone to muster words that weren't in form of a moan or a sharp gasp. And when his fingers gently tugged at the towel and release
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife Family
There was noise downstairs when Eve finally opened her eyes in the morning.She felt well rested, satisfied and sore. Last night had been something else, she had been continuously sent to heights of passion she hadn't been aware existed before.Alessandro teased and finally made her come with his tongue, and when she thought she wouldn't be able to take anymore, he had gotten behind her and ridden her flat to the mattress.And it had been one hell of a good ride, not to speak of dangerous.Her neck was filled with bite marks, and her muscles ached faintly from where he had taken her rough and hard.Just as he had promised.And he had also taken care of her, ensuring that no part of her body was neglected.Now she felt him everywhere; in her swollen lips and voice hoarse from screaming his name, thoroughly fucked pussy and thighs which ached a bit.Instinctively, her fingers came up to touch her neck, her mind filled with memories of that skilled sinful tongue trailing down her neck t
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife Possessive
"There is a big guy outside your door, do I need to call security?" Attorney Leonardo asked as soon as he strode into Eve's office on Monday morning, barely minutes after she finally returned to work.Eve looked up from the tons of unopened messages in her mail inbox, forcing her thoughts away from her husband for a moment."Oh, that's just my personal security."She said casually, as though she hadn't made a fuss when she walked downstairs and saw a strange young man beside her car."I'm your new bodyguard, ma'am. Mr. Stark employed me." Eve had thrown a fist then and dialled her husband while insisting she wasn't going to be babysat by anyone.But of course, that mesmerising voice still had the same effect on her even when he was countries away."I'm not there to protect you baby, and I'm not letting some psychopath touch a hair on your body. I have to ensure you're safe." And so Eve Wilson had blushed all the way to the England and the rest was history."Security? Oh right, how
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife Punishment
Alessandro called again the next morning and left a text.'Please answer the call or.' Seemed he had been thinking of a way to threaten her and ended up changing his mind.The bastard.Eve ignored the text and dressed for work, but she got to her car where Sean, her security guy waited for her, he also held out his phone."Ma'am, Mr. Stark asked me to give it to you, says he couldn't reach you." The manipulative son of a bitch. Eve nodded and took the phone, entering the car before she spoke."Really? You called Sean?" The young security officer walked around to the front of the car and got behind the wheel."You left me no choice, it was either him or your attorney, and we both know the man doesn't like me." Eve inhaled deeply and pushed a button, rolling up the partition."How about an option that involves me not wanting to talk to you? Well, maybe Leo has a valid reason not to like you." She was angry and hurt and spewing words out of repressed emotions.She had after all wok
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife Addiction
The week passed in a blur of habit and boredom.Work, work, Zoe. Due to the controversy surrounding Sean Lancaster, he was replaced at the set, which was good news for Eve.But the downside of it was that every scene he had appeared in was shot again, and since a schedule had already been set for the release of the movie, they stayed at the set for hours, trying to catch up with time.Although Eve used a stunt double for many of her scenes, she still ended up being stressed out.To worsen things for her, Zoe caught cold and was down for three days.If it hadn't been for Alessandro's parents who came to take care of her, Eve would have passed out already.Those were stressful days, but the only thing that cheered Eve up and made her look forward to something exciting was Alessandro.He called at night before he slept and texted early in the morning.She felt closer to him over the past few days than she had been in the months of their marriage.It was on one of those days after a long
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife Date?
"This is madness. I can't fucking concentrate on a thing anymore." Alessandro spoke through heavily laboured breathing, his chest heaving upward and downward. It was the umpteenth time that day that they were ending up tangled in each other's bodies like junkies, taking and giving and sweating together. Eve nodded in affirmation, completely agreeing with him and yet too exhausted to muster a word. She sprawled on top of him, breathing in sync, her lips parted as they breathed harshly. Alessandro turned to her, his very naked body under the full gaze of the afternoon sun. None of them had gone to work or gotten anything done at all. Well, they had started dressing up, but one look at her attempting to wear panties and he pushed her against the wall... How they had ended up in bed had been history. As he stared at her flushed skin, his fingers reached out and swept her disheveled hair away from her face, his lips parting softly, "What have you done to me, baby?" Simple word

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. It had been difficult for Eve who took to interviews with Alessandro by her side, apologising for deceiving the world.

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
