"You are saying you want to start looking for Ava right now?"Leonardo Vince sat across Eve in her office, the morning sun making a play of the shades of green shimmering in his eyes."Yes." Eve replied, and turned the laptop in front of her towards him.It was that picture that Alessandro had shown her of Ava in a sex club.It was blurry, but she intended to begin her search from somewhere anyway. The young attorney nodded, adjusting his big rimmed glasses to take a proper look at the screen.While he took his time, Eve reclined into the executive seat and continued, "I looked into it of course, and because our company isn't focused on tech, I can't get the information I need from our database, hence..."This time, Leonardo picked up what she meant, and completed the statement for her."You will use Alessandro's, when the collaboration begins."Eve neither affirmed nor denied his words, but rolled her seat towards the window, the silver locks of her hair reflecting against the rays

The Billionaire's Substitute Wife Rebellious Granddaughter-In-Law
"What's wrong with her?" "Has she gone crazy? Trying to stand up to grandmother?" "She will destroy her in a heartbeat." Eve listened to the so-called in-laws who didn't even attempt to be discreet. "Ava, let me take care of this." Alessandro said beside her, attempting again to hold her hand. But no, she wasn't going to be manipulated anymore and she was sick and tired of those games that never seemed to end. And so she sucked in a deep breath and glanced at her husband briefly, "I'll handle it." Before Alessandro could speak again, Eve turned to Grandmother Fiona who was regarding her with those wiggly eyes. "How dare you interrupt my birthday party? I will not take this from you...." She had barely finished speaking before Eve interrupted her. "Party? You call this a celebration? My apologies grandmother, but this is a sham, just like every other thing about this family!" Gasps tore from the mouths of different people in the room, their lips thrown open. "Ava, don't
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife The Envelope
Eve woke up with a hangover. The banging headache prevented her from opening her eyes at first, coupled with the bright sun forcing its way into the curtains.Curtains?The thought of the unfamiliarity of her environment had Eve opening her eyes, and her eyes darted to the giant wall clock and the paintings on the wall.It was past eight o'clock in the morning, and she was in a hotel."Fuck..." Eve muttered beneath her breath and quickly threw put the duvet.A sigh of relief escaped her lips when she discovered that she was still very much clothed.But did that guarantee anything? She forced herself to sit upwards despite the headache and blindly reached for her phone on the nightstand.But her hand made contact with some pills and a glass of water.She opened her eyes fully to a familiar writing on a paper.'You can take the day off, I'll take care of your meetings today, Leo.' Right. The hazy memory of Leo carrying her into the hotel room flooded her brain.Along with the stark r
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife Avoiding Mr. Stark
"What? You hate me, you never wanted to be married in the first place!" Eve was mortified, so much that she didn't care anymore about being heard as she raised her voice.Alessandro took in a deep breath and stared at her with those annoyingly beautiful golden eyes."I may have hated being forced to marry you, but being married to you has been good." What the hell was he doing?Eve was frustrated. "Do you even hear yourself? Now you will have the freedom to be with your sweetheart, so sign the damn papers and stop this drama! I won't take anything of yours, I signed a prenup remember?" Alessandro Stark took a step towards her, clouding her senses with that damn good cologne of his.She couldn't wait to be out of his hair so she wouldn't have to be confused so much by fickle feelings.But when he replied, in a calmer voice, Eve was even more confused."I ended things with Lydia a long time ago."

Eve's piercing scream reverberated through the room, carrying with it a weight that threw the atmosphere in heavy silence.Till a throat was cleared beside her, "Uhm, chairwoman, is there any problem with the presentation?" The familiar voice of the chairman of the board had Eve lifting her eyes to the sea of gazes staring at her.Right, she had forgotten that she was in a meeting!Embarrassment flooded her cheeks, and she adjusted herself in the seat, clearing her throat. "Sorry, please continue." A confused Vegas who had been giving the presentation went on, and Eve tried to concentrate for the rest of the meeting.But she merely succeeded, for as soon as she stepped into her office, she pulled out her phone and dialed the manager."Hey Wendy, I don't understand, the show is over..."The overly excited manager
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife A Changed Man?
A marriage probation?That wasn't what Eve had bargained for when she stormed into the Stark Corporation, and she thought about it all the way back to her office.What could be the intention behind suddenly not wanting a divorce?What was the real motive?She bit her nails softly and thought long and hard, but she came up empty.She even went through the marriage contract severally when she got to her office, and stared out of the window which had the best view of New York.But she couldn't find any loophole that would perhaps affect him if they had a divorce. By the time evening struck, Eve was frustrated for some reason. She hadn't gotten any work done that day and she still had to go home to return to sharing a bed with Alessandro."Shit!"

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

"I wonder why we've been forced to sit with this classless family of cheats and gold-diggers.

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

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

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.
