The Substitute Billionaire Wife 117. Explanation
Sebastian decided to check on Katie, concerned about her abrupt exit from the dinner table. He knocked on her door gently before opening it, only to freeze in place at the sight before him. Katie and Andrew were locked in a passionate kiss, their hands tangled in each other’s hair. The sound of the door creaking open snapped them apart, their faces flushed with guilt.“Katie! Andrew!” Sebastian's voice was a mix of shock and anger. “What is going on here?”Andrew mumbled an apology and quickly excused himself, slipping past Sebastian and out the door. As he walked away, his mind was racing. He couldn't believe what had just happened. He had kissed Katie—actually kissed her. He replayed the moment in his head, the way she had looked at him, the softness of her lips, and he couldn't help but smile despite the circumstances.Back in Katie’s room, Sebastian turned his attention to his daughter who lowered her gaze and didn't offered a word. “Did he force you into this, Katie? Tell me the
The Substitute Billionaire Wife 118. Marcella's Problem
Marcella Sebastian’s sister arrived at the Rojas Alvaro mansion with a mixture of excitement and apprehension. She hadn’t been back home for years, and the news of her mother’s death had shocked her deeply and she could hardly believe it was true. As she approached the grand house, her eyes scanned the familiar surroundings, now tinged with memories both sweet and sour. She spotted her father, Mr. Rojas, sitting alone on the porch, engrossed in a newspaper. He looked up as she approached, his eyes lighting up with joy. “Marcella! Is that really you?” he exclaimed, setting aside the newspaper and standing up. “Papa!” Marcella ran towards him, and they embraced tightly, tears streaming down their faces. “I’ve missed you so much.” Mr. Rojas held her at arm’s length, his eyes glistening. “It’s been too long, my dear. You look wonderful.” Marcella smiled through her tears. “I missed this place. But where is Mama?” She looked around, expecting to see her mother bustling about. Mr. Roja

Did something happen at the party?”Katie took a deep breath. “I kissed Andrew.”Nora’s eyes widened in shock. “No way! You're kidding, right?”Katie shook her head, a small smile playing on her lips. “Nope, it really happened. We were in my room when it happened, we had an argument, and then... we kissed.”Nora gasped, her hands covering her mouth. “Oh my gosh, Katie! That’s huge! Tell me everything!”Katie recounted the entire story, from the part when his family came to have dinner at her place and when she go

Katie returned home from school in a somber mood, the image of Andrew and Mandy making out still fresh in her mind. She walked into the house, trudging up the stairs to her room, and threw herself onto the bed, letting out a heavy sigh. She felt like crying but resisted the urge.A knock on the door interrupted her thoughts. She reluctantly got up and opened it, her eyes widening in surprise at the sight of a redheaded lady standing there. The woman looked to be in her early forties, with striking features and a confident posture. "Hello, Katie," the woman said with a warm smile. "I’m your aunt, Marcella."Katie greeted her uncertainly. "Hi, Aunt Marcella. I didn't know you were coming." Marcella nodded, stepping inside and looking around the room. "I decided to pay a visit. It's been too long since I’ve seen my brother’s family. Mind if I sit?" "Sure," Katie replied, still processing the unexpected arrival. Marcella settled into the purple fluffy couch, her eyes sweeping over t

Katie and Nora were on their way to the library. Katie’s mind was still swirling with emotions from the previous day’s events. She was trying to focus on her studies and forget about Andrew when he appeared out of nowhere. “Katie, I need to talk to you,” Andrew said, his tone serious. Katie’s eyes narrowed as she glared at him. “I’m not interested in anything you have to say, Andrew. Leave me alone.” But instead of leaving, Andrew grabbed her hand. Nora stepped forward, ready to defend her friend. “Let her go, Andrew. She doesn’t want to talk to you.” Andrew glanced at Nora, his expression hardening. “Stay out of this, Nora. This is between Katie and me.” Katie struggled to free her hand from his grip, but Andrew was stronger. He pulled her towards the gymnasium, where the cheerleading practice usually took place. Nora followed closely, but Andrew shut the door in her face, leaving her outside. Inside the gymnasium, Katie yanked her hand away from Andrew’s grasp. “What is wrong

Back at the gymnasium, Mandy watched Andrew carefully, noticing his distant look. "You’re thinking about her again, aren’t you?" she asked, her tone slightly accusing. Andrew snapped out of his thoughts, looking at Mandy. "No, I’m thinking about us," he lied, trying to reassure her. Mandy wasn’t convinced, but she decided to let it go for now. "Alright, but just remember, Andrew, I don’t want any competition." Andrew nodded, his mind still conflicted. He couldn’t admit to Mandy that Katie had somehow gotten under his skin. It would ruin everything. As the school day ended, Katie returned home, her mood somber. She went straight to her room, needing to escape from everything. She lay on her bed, staring at the ceiling, trying to make sense of her feelings. After a while Lillian called out to her to come down for dinner, Katie groaned and made her way downstairs, she sat at the dining table, absently pushing her food around her plate. Her mind was a whirlpool of confusion and an

Katie stood outside the school, waiting for Lillian. She scanned the parking lot, expecting to see her mother’s familiar car. Instead, she was surprised to see Marcella’s sleek, black sedan. Marcella waved at her, and Katie waved goodbye to Nora before making her way to the car. "Hi, Aunt Marcella," Katie greeted as she climbed into the passenger seat. "Hello, Katie," Marcella replied with a warm smile. "I thought we could spend some time together today." Katie nodded, feeling a bit apprehensive but curious. As Marcella started driving, they fell into an easy conversation. Marcella regaled Katie with stories of her college days in Paris, describing the charming streets, the exquisite food, and the vibrant culture. Katie found herself relaxing, enjoying the stories and the attention from her aunt. They stopped by a charming cupcakery shop and picked out an assortment of cupcakes. Katie couldn’t help but smile as they each took a bite of a delicious red velvet cupcake. Next, Marcell

Andrew was sitting on her bed, casually flipping through one of her novels."What the hell are you doing here?" she hissed, quickly closing the door behind her to avoid waking her siblings or alerting her parents.

"Nice to see you too, Katie," he said, leaning back against her pillows as if he belonged there.Katie stormed over, snatching the book from his hands. "Don't touch my stuff," she snapped.Andrew laughed, making himself more comfortable. "Relax, Katie. I came here to see you, I couldn't sleep.

Katie sat at the cafeteria table, a tray of untouched food in front of her, as she excitedly recounted the details of her date with Andrew to Nora. "And then, at the end of the night, he asked me to be his girlfriend," Katie said, her cheeks flushing with happiness. Nora’s jaw dropped. “You’re kidding me!” she exclaimed, shaking her head in disbelief. “Andrew? The Andrew who’s been teasing you all this time?” Katie nodded, her eyes sparkling. “I know it sounds crazy, but he was really sweet. He told me he’s been thinking about me a lot.” Nora still looked skeptical. “I don’t know, Katie. Are you sure about this? He’s always been kind of a jerk.” Katie opened her mouth to respond, but before she could say anything, Andrew appeared beside their table. He slid into the seat next to Katie, casually draping his arm around the back of her chair. “Hey, ladies,” he said, giving them a charming smile. Nora’s eyes widened, and she glanced between Katie and Andrew, still trying to process w

I don’t want to play any games or pretend anymore. Will you be my girlfriend?”Katie felt her heart swell with emotion. The words she had longed to hear were finally spoken.

Katie stood in front of her mirror, smoothing out the creases in her red shoulder-length dress. The fabric shimmered slightly under the soft light of her bedroom, and she couldn’t help but smile at her reflection. Her hair straightened to perfection, cascaded down her back. She added a touch of mascara and lip gloss, then stepped back to admire her handiwork. Satisfied, she grabbed her small clutch and took a deep breath. As she descended the stairs, she saw Lillian in the kitchen, feeding Kat. Lillian glanced up and her eyes widened with surprise. “Wow, Katie, you look stunning! Where are you off to?” Katie paused, feeling a bit nervous. “I’m going out with Andrew. He asked me on a date.” Lillian’s surprise deepened. “Andrew? When did you start hanging out with him?” Katie shrugged, trying to play it cool. “We’ve been talking more lately. He’s not as bad as I thought.” Lillian raised an eyebrow but smiled. “Well, have fun. Just be careful, okay? Don't forget to come back on time

"You know, Katie, apart from the contract, I don’t see it as such a bad thing, getting married to someone like you. You’re cute, smart, and pretty amazing."Katie laughed, a light sound that eased the remaining tension between them. "You think I’m cute? Really? Coming from the guy who’s been mean to me since day one?"Andrew shrugged, a sheepish smile on his face. "I know I’ve been a jerk, and I’m sorry about that. The truth is, I liked you from the start, but I didn’t want to show it. You’re different from the other girls I’ve met, and I didn’t know how to handle it. So, I ended up acting like an idiot."Katie’s smile softened. "I thought you hated me. The fir

"We need to discuss the business contract between Katie and Andrew," he began. "Katie found out about it from Andrew, and she's not taking it well. She won't talk to us, and we need to figure out a way to handle this situation. Is there any possibility of terminating the contract?"Mr. Turner sighed deeply, his expression unyielding. "The contract is still fresh. Terminating it would mean losing twice the profit according to the agreement. Our companies would suffer significant losses.

"Hey, about Andrew standing up for you... I think it's kinda sweet."Katie's eyes flashed with annoyance. "What's the point, Nora? I just want to be left alone."

Andrew told her everything."Sebastian's face fell. "What? How did he find out?"Lillian shook her head. "I don't know, but Katie won't talk to me. She didn't eat breakfast, and she refused to let me take her to school this morning. I knew something like this would happen. This is exactly why I was against that business contract."Sebastian sighed deeply, rubbing his temples. "I'll talk to her. We'll fix this."He walked upstairs, each step feeling heavier than the last. When he reached Katie's bedroom door, he knocked softly. "Katie, it's Dad. Can we talk?"There was no response. He knocked again, a little louder. Finally, the door opened a crack
