The Substitute Billionaire Wife 96. Events
Katherine woke with a start, her head resting on Sebastian's chest. She looked around in a daze, realizing they had both fallen asleep in the car. The early morning light filtered through the windows, casting a soft glow on their surroundings. Panic set in as she quickly pulled away from Sebastian, her mind racing with the implications of their intimacy. Sebastian stirred and opened his eyes, quickly assessing the situation. He was shirtless, and Katherine was beside him, her clothes slightly disheveled. He quickly put on his shirt, and they exchanged a brief, awkward glance before he started the car. The drive back to the mansion was silent, each lost in their thoughts and regrets. As they pulled up to the mansion, Katherine's heart pounded. She dreaded facing Lillian, who had always been her rock. How would Lillian react if she found out about what had happened? Her mind was a whirlwind of guilt and fear. Lillian had just finished feeding the twins when she heard the front door

Lilian stood in the living room, her arms crossed and her face lined with worry. "Katherine, this is a trap. Mrs. Rojas is trying to lure you out. It could be incredibly dangerous."Katherine's eyes were resolute as she shook her head. "Lilian, it's worth the risk. Katie is out there, and I can't just sit here doing nothing."Mr. Alfred stepped forward, his concern evident. "Katherine, you shouldn't go. Let the police handle this. It's their job.""I don't trust the police anymore," Katherine replied, her voice tinged with frustration. "They released Mrs. Rojas even though they caught her red-handed. We can't rely on them."Mr. Alfred sighed deeply, seeing the determination in his daughter's eyes. "If you're going, you need to be prepared. Take something to protect yourself, and I'll come with you."Sebastian nodded in agreement. "I'll go too. We’ll face her together."Lilian looked at them, her heart heavy with fear. "I want to come too.""No," Katherine said firmly. "You need to st

Sebastian’s heart raced as he watched his mother advance towards Katherine with the gun aimed directly at her. Katie clung to Katherine, her cries piercing through the tension-filled room. The sight of his daughter in such distress made Sebastian's resolve even stronger. "Mother, please, stop this madness!" Sebastian pleaded, his voice thick with desperation. Mrs. Rojas's eyes glinted with a cold fury. "This is not your fight, Sebastian. This is about what the Alfreds did to me." Marco, groaning in pain from his gunshot wound, tried to reason with her. "Mrs. Rojas, this has gone too far. You're destroying both families. End this now." Instead of heeding his words, Mrs. Rojas turned the gun on Marco and fired, hitting him in the leg. Marco cried out in pain, collapsing to the floor as he clutched his bleeding leg. "Interfere again, Marco, and the next bullet will be in your head." Sebastian's eyes darted between his mother and Marco, his mind racing for a solution. "Mother, you're

Katie’s sobs echoed through the mansion as she clung to her mother’s lifeless body, her tiny frame wracked with grief. “Mommy’s dead… and I… I killed Grandma. I’m a bad person,” she cried, her words choked with guilt and despair. Lilian knelt beside her niece, tears streaming down her face. She wrapped her arms around Katie, pulling her close. “No, Katie. You’re not a bad person. You did what you had to do to protect yourself. Your grandma was… she wasn’t well. This isn’t your fault,” she whispered, trying to soothe the child’s broken heart. Mr. Alfred stood nearby, his face a mask of sorrow. He felt the weight of Katherine’s death pressing down on him, but there was a cold relief in knowing that Mrs. Rojas could no longer harm his family. It was a bittersweet victory, tainted by the loss of his daughter. He stared at Lillian as she tried Katie, he walked close and placed a comforting hand on Katie's shoulder. "You didn't do anything wrong, you did what was right and I'm proud of y

Years later, Katie stood at the entrance of her new high school, the familiar feeling of anxiety twisting her stomach. Now fourteen, she had grown into a thoughtful and determined young woman, but the scars of her past still haunted her. Her aunt Lilian was beside her, offering words of encouragement as they walked towards the imposing building. "I don't know, Aunt Lilian," Katie said, her voice trembling slightly. "What if I don't fit in? What if... what if they don't like me?" Lilian gave her a reassuring smile and squeezed her shoulder. "You'll do just fine, Katie. High school is a new start. You've been through so much and come out stronger. Just be yourself, and you'll find your place." Katie nodded, trying to muster some confidence. "Okay, I'll try. Thanks, Aunt Lilian." With a final hug, Lilian watched as Katie walked into the bustling school. The hallways were alive with the chatter and laughter of students, but to Katie, it felt overwhelming. She clutched her backpack t

The next morning, Katie sat at the breakfast table with Lillian, Sebastian, Tristan, and Kat. The atmosphere was warm, filled with the usual chatter and clinking of utensils.

Who hurt you?" he asked, concern etched on his face.Katie quickly hid her hand under the table. "It was just an accident," she said, trying to sound casual.Sebastian didn't look convinced. "Are you sure? It looks—""I'm fine, Dad. It was just an accident," Katie interrupted.Lillian gently touched Sebastian's arm, signaling for him to stop questioning further.

Katie and Nora walked into the cafeteria, joining the line for lunch. The hum of chatter and the clatter of trays filled the air, creating a familiar background noise. Katie tried to focus on the menu, but her mind wandered, replaying the events of the past few days. As they reached the front of the line, Katie grabbed her tray and loaded it with food. Just as she looked up, she saw Andrew across the room. The shock of seeing him again made her trip, and she fell forward, her tray of food flying through the air and landing squarely on Andrew.Andrew's face turned red with anger. "Are you blind? Can't you see where you're going?" he shouted, his voice echoing through the cafeteria. "You're so stupid. I can't believe I even apologized to you. People like you don’t belong in high school—you belong in prison."He raised his hand, and for a moment, it looked like he was going to hit her. The entire cafeteria gasped in unison, the sound hanging in the air like a heavy cloud. Andrew froze,

The board meeting was in full swing, and the atmosphere was tense with anticipation. Executives and stakeholders sat around a long table, murmuring among themselves. The chairman, an imposing figure with silver hair and a commanding presence, stood up and called for attention."Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for being here today. I have an important announcement to make. After much consideration, I have decided that we should partner with the Alfred family, especially since they are no longer associated with the Rojas Alvaro family."There was a murmur of surprise and interest around the table. Lilian, sitting next to her father, felt her heart sink. She glanced at Mr. Alfred, who seemed unfazed and determined. As the meeting continued, Lilian's mind raced with memories of the chaos and heartache their family had endured because of their previous business entanglements.When the meeting concluded, and the room began to empty, Lilian turned to her father. "Dad, we need to talk," she s

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

As the night wore on, Andrew and Katie drove back to her house in a serene, comfortable silence. The moonlight bathed the streets in a soft glow, and the only sounds were the gentle hum of the car and their intertwined thoughts about the evening.When they pulled up in front of Katie’s house, Andrew turned off the engine and looked at her with a seriousness that made her heart skip a beat.“Katie,” he began, his voice steady but filled with emotion, “I know what I want, and what I want is you. 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. She looked into his eyes, seeing sincerity and vulnerability. “Yes, Andrew,” she said softly, a radiant smile spreading across her face. “I’d love to be your girlfriend.”Andrew’s face lit up with happiness, and he leaned in, capturing her lips in a tender, heartfelt kiss.

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

As Andrew and Katie sat side by side on the front steps, the evening air cool and crisp, they found themselves talking more openly than they ever had before. The tension that had filled the dinner conversation began to dissipate, replaced by a tentative curiosity about each other.Andrew turned to Katie, his expression earnest. "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.

"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. I understand your concern, but this contract is binding."Lillian's eyes were pleading as she leaned forward. "But Katie is against it, we t

Nora jogged to catch up with Katie, who was walking briskly down the hallway, her face flushed with frustration. "Katie, wait up!" Nora called, finally reaching her. "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." She quickened her pace, trying to escape the conversation.As Katie continued down the hall, she couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. People were staring at her, more than usual.

The second he entered, Lillian met him in the hallway, her face etched with concern."Honey, we seriously need to talk," she began, her voice barely concealing the anxiety, "Katie found out about the contract. 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.

Katie finished tucking Kat and Tristan into their beds, giving each a kiss on the forehead before softly closing their doors. She headed to her own room, looking forward to some peace and quiet. As she flicked on the light, she froze in shock. 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. "You need to leave before my parents see you."Andrew looked up, an amused smirk playing on his lips.
