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 Vacation High
"Remember that her bedtime is nine o'clock and she's allergic to...""Peanuts, oh my God, it's not like I was going to pawn your kid for diamonds or use her to attract a new boyfriend, although that could work if I took her to a party...""Anastasia!"There was a chuckle at the other end of the phone, followed by a scoff."Just kidding, Ava. You can calm your tits, okay? Even if I wasn't going to be a good babysitter, grandmother would have my head if anything happened to Zoe."Eve let out a sigh of relief, relaxing the shoulders she hadn't noticed were tense before.Then she sucked in a deep breath, "Okay, thanks again for doing this." Anastasia Stark waited a while before she responded. "Yeah, it's the least I could do considering you know...how you were there for us when Nana was sick."A small smile spread on Eve's face, the sound of familiar footsteps preventing her from delving into a certain memory lane.It had been a month since Grandmother Fiona Stark survived a stroke and
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife Pillow Talk
'I want to apologise to you, Ava, about how me and my family have treated you all these while. We thought you were only a fake, a lying gold-digger, but we were so wrong about you.' A fake... Grandmother Fiona Stark had been right about one thing, No matter how much Eve tried to fit into the Stark family, it was never going to cover up her guilt. She was a pretentious substitute anyway, A replica of the real Ava, fake. *** "Baby, baby wake up. Are you okay?" Eve woke up with a gasp, drenched in the heat of her own sweat. Her fingers were gripped tightly to the sheets, and she almost butted heads with Alessandro who was on top of her, regarding her with a very worried expression. "Seems you were having a bad dream. Is it about the Lancaster bastard?" Eve nodded softly, and felt that familiar emotion of guilt slam into her heart. There went another lie. In a swift moment, she was gathered into sturdy arms and crashed into the warmest and most comforting body, her breathing
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife Muse
"This is weird, something is wrong somewhere."Well, for Eve, it could never get more weird than positioning butt naked in the middle of a studio where she was surrounded by canvases,With a very naked Alessandro Stark playing artist with that serious look on his face.She made a mental note to self; nude Alessandro with a grim expression equalled a clown.Regardless of how she felt, she swallowed the urge to laugh or make the various jokes in her head."Wrong?"Alessandro nodded and looked up from the canvass, gripping the pencil tightly in his fingers."Yeah, I... something doesn't seem right."He moved away from the canvas and stepped into her line of vision, wearing nothing but that glorious effortless seduction that suddenly made her want to jump him right there.But also induced the feeling of guilt in her.She wasn't supposed to be selfish and only thinking of how much she wanted him at this moment when he was struggling.Eve cleared her throat and held herself still, holding h
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife Choice
Eve was pulled out of a long long sleep by her annoyingly loud ringtone.It all came down to reaching for her phone and flinging it into the bathroom since she was still sore from earlier that morning.The reminder had colour flooding her cheeks, and she attempted to bury her head in the pillows,Well, that attempt failed, since the ringtone went off again, and this time, it was louder and ten times more annoying."Oh for Pete's sake..." Eve started to curse as she roughly pulled the duvet off her body, but she was halted by the image of her husband who stood in front of her, holding out her phone."It's been ringing for a while, think you should take it." Well, that thickness in his voice was definitely a total awakening agent.But it also brought memories of early that morning, and all the things they had done in his studio.He'd had to carry her up the stairs after draping that robe over her, his deep chortle laughing at her exhaustion."Guess I just brought to life the expressi
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife Call Me by my Name
Something changed between them.Perhaps it was the declaration that Eve had made, or that pillow talk they'd had. It could also be their routine of her posing as his Muse while he tried to get what he was looking for.He still hadn't succeeded after the fourth day, but they had grown closer and learnt more things about each other than they both thought they would.For instance, Alessandro had let it slip that he had once tried out being a Dom between the sheets before with an ex, but it hadn't worked out so much.There hadn't been that trust between them.Well, damn her for picking up on that among several other things he had shared with her, but Eve was determined more than ever to try something new with him.Somehow, with each moment she got closer to him, she feared that their time together was running thin.It was obviously her paranoia, but she couldn't shake the thought out of her head.Which was exactly why Eve stood in front of the package she had ordered online, a mischievou
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife Beyond Desire
A leap of faith, complete surrender of herself.That how she felt when she mentioned her name for the first time in the presence of Alessandro.He was deeply skeptical man who could easily read meaning into it and find out what she had been hiding.But she said it anyway, against all odds."Eve..." Her name had never sounded more sweet, more enticing.Alessandro made it that way, and she remained at his feet with her eyes covered with love for him."I like the name, Eve. For some reason, it suits you, my forbidden fruit."He made everything sound like sex, and she shivered when his fingers brushed against her neck and trailed down her scantily covered lingerie."You wore this to drive me crazy, didn't you? I'm gonna spank you now, baby girl, punish you for making me this...crazy." She felt him move away from her, and the next thing she knew, that feather material was teasing her nipples and moving down to her wet sex.Her thighs clamped together, and an internal moan slipped from her

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. But finally, after series of hate comments and legal battles, the Johnson Corporation had returned to the hands of Eve Wilson, the original owner whom the late Mrs. Rebecca Johnson had handed the company to. 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
