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 Calm before the Storm
How to dress up for the first date with your husband whom you were lying to about being the real sister?Anxiety kicked into Eve's mind when she was thinking of the perfect dress to wear.She remembered all too well, how she had waited all those while at the restaurant the last time he had asked her out on a date.Would he stand her up again and in fact tell her that he was done with her already?Sadly, she had become attached against her better judgment and now she would have to pick up the pieces of her disappointment if he stood her up.After an hour of wearing and removing clothes, shoes and opting for the right hairstyle, Eve emerged from the room in a knee length red dress and fuck me stilettos that made her legs endless.Her lean waist and generous bosom were accentuated along with the flare of her hips. She let down her hair in straight style and wore a red lipstick which made her lips plumper, more inviting.Eve was in a excited mood as she stepped out of the room she hadn't
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife Storm
Eve felt like a new woman.She didn't simply nod with a polite smile as she walked into her office building and people greeted her.Her excitement radiated through her skin and spread to her face, lighting up her eyes when she smiled and making her grin wider.She replied the greetings with more excitement than usual, her face glowing as she stepped out of the elevator and headed towards her office.Life hadn't been this good in a while.Perhaps, she had never experienced this kind of happiness in her life.Alessandro had his legal team come to the mansion the previous day and discussed how to ensure that Lancaster was locked up behind bars for a long time.While they spewed legal terms and spoke of getting evidence that he had been in league with Bella, her husband held her hand, caressing it absentmindedly.Then afterwards, he had asked how she was feeling and suggested a vacation if it would help take her mind away from things.She slept in his arms, so peacefully that she didn't w
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife Redemption
"Reservation for Mr. and Mrs. Stark, please?" Eve stood in front of reception with a nose mask concealing a good part of her face.The male receptionist fired at the keyboard and looked up few seconds later, a deep smile on his lips."Welcome, Mrs. Stark, hope you have a wonderful meal here, your date already arrived."Her heart skipped for all it was worth.Great, she wouldn't even have more time to prepare herself on how to face him.A female waitress in uniform walked towards her with a professional smile, her heels clicking against the floors,"This way, ma'am."Eve clutched tightly to her purse and licked her dry lips, taking the first step to her own damnation.Surely Alessandro must be waiting to serve her a meal of divorce.There wasn't going to be any more dreams of vacation or spending more time with her husband and kid.That family she had finally fit into for the first time in her life was going to be over.Eve swallowed hard as they rode the elevator which halted at the
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife Threats
"Someone is here for you, Mr. Stark." Erica stood before her boss with that trained elegant poise, her tablet balanced on her palm.Alessandro looked up from the open screen of his laptop and checked the time by his watch, reclining into his seat with an automatic grin lighting up his eyes."My wife is here? Let her in."But the assistant lifted a brow in confusion, her forehead marred in a frown."Oh no, sir. It's Bella George, she said it's urgent."And at that, Alessandro's eyes narrowed to slits, and he leaned into the table, pulling off his glasses."Allow her to come in." Gone was the ecstacy in his tone and that rush of maddening happiness that had rippled through him when he thought it was his wife.They indeed were supposed to meet for dinner and he had haboured the silly hope that she had somehow come to surprise him.But it was to his full disappointment when the doors opened and the fake blonde with an equally fake body walked into his spacious office.She wore a skirt t
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife Secrets
Alessandro stared at her with his full attention, as though she were the sun and the moon.The intensity of his gaze scared her as much as it made her heart race in weird ecstacy, those powerful feelings eliciting different emotions in her.Guilt, disbelief, fear of being labeled a liar.And when his grin widened and those sinful lips parted to let out words, she felt even worse."A sight for sore eyes indeed. Missed me, baby?" Because she couldn't force herself to smile or pretend like a storm wasn't brewing inside of her, Eve swallowed hard and diverted the topic."Em, you are friends with Bella?" Yeah, that wiped the smile off his handsome face, and he stood from his seat, walking towards her just as she was taking off her jacket."Hardly friends, she came to ramble about something unimportant. Don't worry, I took care of it." That was a nice way to evade what she wanted to know. Eve feigned a smile this time and held her breath as he took her jacket, his fingers brushing her a
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife Fierce Lady Stark
It was Eve's first time walking into the gigantic building that housed the Stark Hospital.Security and the medical staff bowed as the chairman, Alessandro walked past them with his wife by his side, his strides faster than she had ever seen.Just as she was seeing him that scared for the first time.She hadn't realised how much he cared for his grandmother till then.It was Eve who had gotten behind the wheel on their way, since Alessandro's chauffer was away on some errand and Alessandro...Well, he was in no state of mind to drive.He had been gawking into space ever since they got the news and left his office, pushing everything she had just learnt somewhere insignificant.Another ball of guilt slammed into her heart as she thought of the last time she had encountered the older woman.She had walked away from Grandmother Fiona Stark's birthday banquet after all.Now, all the anger she had harbored didn't matter anymore.Eve muttered a silent prayer as the elevator doors slid open

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
