The Substitute Bride: Banished with the Alpha's babies An illusion
NADIA'S POV.Seeing those words slashed mercilessly across my canvas suddenly made me feel weak and dizzy. Someone was stalking me, following me everywhere I went, and they had the guts to make such a bold statement to threaten me. I looked around the garden wondering if there was a camera of some sort but I couldn't see any, and a heady feeling enveloped me as I went back to staring at those words. My breathing came out rapidly and it felt like I was going to have a panic attack, but instead I fell crumpled to the floor and watched the world before me split into two and finally blackness crawled in the edges of my vision and it all faded away. The next time I awoke, it was to a white ceiling. My eyes fluttered open and close slowly as I tried to make sense of where I was, and then I realized I was in Derek's room. I turned my head to the side and saw him sitting in a chair bare-chested with only a pair of shorts on.I wondered why he didn't have his clothes on, but realized that w

Chapter 28NADIA'S POVMy heart skipped, and I started to feel panic rise within me. Whatever they were going to do to me next wasn't going to be good at all. I couldn't help feeling that the next thing they would do was try to kill me.Derek took back the shepherd pie, took another spoon casually and dropped it on the bedside table next to me. "Proof that it's not poisoned." He muttered, as he took his phone and started to type. But who could have sent him? Who was the one enemy I had? Who was trying to get rid of me? Was it Nina? It had her writing all over it but Nina was direct. She would get at me herself.Who hated me this much that they had to plan so carefully to get me into their trap. Who was so willing to see me in a coffin?I tried to think of my options but each time I tried to think further on who could have been behind it,mu head pounded hard making me feel dizzy so I stopped thinking of who could have been behind it all. I only thought of vain ways to escape. Ways th

Chapter 29WILL'S POV.I paced around the living room in haste as the phone in my hands rung and rung on end. Nadia hadn't been home since the previous day and that was unlike her. She was always back home early.At first, I had waited, wondering if she had found painting hard and was trying to make sure she painted perfectly since she had bragged to me that she'd let me see her painting. Her phone wasn't going through so I had thought she had not wanted to be disturbed, but night fell amd everything got dark. I wasn't even worried because she wasn't to be walking in the streets in her condition. I was worried because I knew something had gone terribly wrong. Nadia had never done such before. She always made her phone reachable and was always calling so I wouldn't get too worried so I had known immediately the day lapsed into night with no calls from her that something had gone terribly wrong.Since then, I had been phoning all the people I know who were skilled in the business of se

Chapter 30WILL’S POVMy worry got replaced by a heartbroken heart as it felt as if a heavy rock was placed on my heart recklessly. My heart broke into pieces more, most especially because of Nadia.I glanced at her, through the glass door, and I felt even more broken. She would feel so downcast to hear that she had lost the baby. I knew how happy she was to conceive our baby, and how she must have dreamed of carrying him, and being there for him always.“You need to give her as much attention as she might need because it’s going to be a devastating period for her. I know how she was so happy to have the baby, sir.” The doctor informed in a sad tone.I looked back at him, and then sighed.“Are you certain that she has lost the baby? Are you sure there is no problem with the scan?” I asked again, trying to be sure that the doctor hadn’t made any mistake with this.“I’m certain, Alpha Will.”Then I sighed deeply again.“I hope there are no complications or sort?” I inquired, hoping ther

WILL’S POVI grunted in pain as I made my way back to the car. The so-called Derek had planted spikes that tore into my flesh as soon as I moved from where I was, in his room. I got into the car, and managed to drive back to the hospital, with blood oozing out of the wounded part of my leg.As the traffic light turned red, every car halted, including mine. I bit my lower lip, and then sighed. And then my thoughts drifted back to Derek who had tried to get rid of Nadia. He must have planned everything before taking action, which meant that he had either been watching her, or gotten her details from someone.The traffic light went green, and I continued my drive to the hospital. As soon as I got to the hospital, I limped towards Nadia’s ward, and went in. Nadia was sound asleep, and seeing her sleep soundly, not knowing that she had lost her baby, broke my heart.“Welcome back, Alpha Will.” The doctor greeted as he walked in with his stethoscope around his neck.“Yeah, thanks. How is sh

WILL’S POVMy eyes fluttered open as the warm sunlight shone on my face, then I turned to look at Nadia. She was sound asleep, just like a baby. It was challenging to comfort her yesterday, but thankfully, she was able to fall asleep in my arms.So, I decided to take her out of the house, to fun places, just so she could feel better, and get her mind off the pain. I picked up my phone, and checked out places we could go out too, just so her mind would be occupied, and while I was scrolling through my phone, she moved, and I knew it was about time she woke up.Just as I expected, she yawned, and slowly opened her eyes, but she didn’t sit up like she would, before this incident happened.“Good morning, angel.” I greeted her, with a smile on my face.“Good morning.” She responded, dully.I sighed, and clicked my tongue as I compiled the list of places, I wanted us to go to, then I turned to her.“How about you get prepared. Let’s go on an outing.” I said to her, trying to spark up the su

WILL’S POVIt had been over a month since the miscarriage incident, and until now, it was still hurting that Derek had died before I laid my hands on him. He was said to have been gunned down in a killing spree in a distant town.But then, with all my research, and findings, it was certain that Derek had someone who gave him orders to harm Nadia, and I would not rest until I fish out who it was that tried to harm my wife. I had been trying to watch out for loose ends, but I hadn’t found any.The only place which I didn’t make my investigations was the school which Nadia attended. Then I have to go there today, hopefully I find or hear something useful that can serve as a lead back to the daring person who tried to take my woman, away from me.Then I picked up another document to work on.I completed my work earlier than usual, and the sun was still high up in the sky. Definitely, there was a possibility that Nadia’s course mates wouldn’t have been done with classes, as I had observed

NADIA’S POVI opened my wardrobe, and decided to re-organize it to another style, and it seemed like it was going to be so much fun while doing that. I needed to do something to occupy the time which I spend, just watching movies and a few more things that I got tired of.As I tried to reach out for a particular dress which had been hung the wrong way, something hard fell off to the ground, and hit my leg as well.“Ouch!” I winced in pain as I held my foot for a while.Then I picked up the book which fell down and opened. Merely looking at the book, it took me down the memory lane, and it didn’t feel really nice. It was a photo album of Derek and I, and the book had opened to a particular photo where Derek and I went to an art gallery, and also had fun. I walked over to the bed, with the photo album in my hands, and sat down, then flipped to the next page, and stared at another photo.These photos were all special moments, and it was kind of saddening to have believed that the kind o

The Substitute Bride: Banished with the Alpha's babies A deserved happy ending
NADIA'S POV.I walked back to the restaurant, smiling and greeting anyone who made eye contact with me. My joy was over the top. I couldn't help but express my happiness.It was a burning cauldron inside of him.When I got back to the restaurant, Titan and Anna were still talking, and laughing. It felt like they'd known each other for some time.I walked into the restaurant, and made my way towards them."Jeez, Alpha Titan was just telling me a funny joke. If you hear it, you'll burst into laughter." Anna said, vibrating with laughter."Okay… what's it?" I asked."Now, listen well. A duck, and a frog…" he began, and I paid attention, but by the time he was done, I burst into a shrill laughter I had fueled myself instead of Titan's joke.Anna had definitely fallen for Tit
The Substitute Bride: Banished with the Alpha's babies Happiness
NADIA'S POV.The next day, I went to Anna's room, and saw her scrolling through her phone, while she lay on the bed, with her back turned upwards."Hey." I called, with a smile, closing her door, and going to join her on the bed."Hey hey." She replied cheerfully, turning over, so her back was on the bed."What are you so engrossed in?" I asked, snatching her phone, and saw she was staring at the photo of a handsome young man."Woah. He's cool." I said, and she chuckled."Are married women allowed to say that?" She asked, and I laughed."What's wrong with appreciating beauty? You were doing the same thing, too." I shot back, passing her phone back to her, and she grinned."You know… there's actually someone who's as handsome as this. Maybe more." She said, biting the nail on her thumb.
The Substitute Bride: Banished with the Alpha's babies Peace
NADIA’S POVThat night, I felt so good and relieved while I was on the bed with Will. To think that in the last few hours, I felt so depressed, and heartbroken. I didn’t know how I could live with the fact that Nina was going to die, and I wouldn’t see or hear of her anymore.No, it was best for her to be given the chance to atone for her sins, at least. And as her family member, I was the only one who could plead for her or make her freedom from death, happen. Will walked out of the bathroom, and cleaned his hair with his towel.“I hope you’re now satisfied, Nadia?” He asked, with a charming smile.I loved the atmosphere around. It was a light, and happy one. At least, our enemy was gone now, and we had given her a judgement that wouldn’t burden anyone. The only thing I hoped for was that she would learn her lessons, and turn a new leaf.
The Substitute Bride: Banished with the Alpha's babies Brooding
NADIA’S POV“Nadia, you need to stop brooding about this. It’s been two days now, and you aren’t eating as you ought to. All because of your half-sister who wouldn’t bat an eye if you were the one in that shoe?” Anna complained as she sat before me in the living room.She was right. Nina wouldn’t bat an eye if I were the one whose punishment was death. In fact, she would be happy that I was going to be killed, and therefore be out of this world, and her way of getting who she wanted, which was Will.But then, I wasn’t her. This is me, and I can’t bring myself to accept Will’s judgement. In fact, it was seeming more like Will had done something to ensure my calls wouldn’t get to him. Even Tristan wasn’t answering my calls, and it was certain it was on Will’s order, so I can’t blame him.I couldn’t even get angry
The Substitute Bride: Banished with the Alpha's babies Final
ALPHA WILL’S POVAs soon as we got to Los Angeles, I checked my wristwatch, and noticed I still had time, and I could even get to the hotel before the client I’m meant to see, arrives.I wasn’t meant to come out for anything regarding business because I had a lot going on which I had to settle, but this was really important.It was about a contract which we had once signed, but there was something that needed to be changed in some of the terms and conditions, and my presence and signature was needed before it could be processed.Well, it was also a good distraction to take my mind off the fact that I had ordered the guards to behead Nina. That was the most suitable punishment for her. In fact, if there was any other punishment worse than death, I would give it to her.She had made me feel a bit less of an Alpha because of the way she managed to play me, and made
The Substitute Bride: Banished with the Alpha's babies A yearning hope
NADIA’S POVIt had been two days since Will stayed in his study, thinking of the perfect punishment to give Nina. Although, he allowed me in whenever I wanted to check up on him, but he didn’t come to sleep in the room. He ate, drank and did everything in his study.He had said that it was until he thought of the perfect punishment that he would find himself worthy to sleep by my side, and do things with me. Although, I understood how bad he still felt when he found out that I was framed, and then he turned his back against me when the world did. It was more like he was beating himself up, and several times, I had told him I had forgiven him, and it was fine.Yet, he couldn’t bring himself to be with me.“Will, it’s time you stop beating yourself up on this. Her being in the dungeon is enough punishment for the atrocities she has caused.” I said to him as I looked
The Substitute Bride: Banished with the Alpha's babies Death?
NINA’S POVWho would have ever thought that I would end up in a dungeon, in my life? Worse, a dungeon in a place where I have ruled as a Luna. Where I have been respected, and revered. Much worse, my mom was also with me in this dungeon.I could imagine my father shaking his head in disappointment at us. I didn’t listen to him when he pleaded for me to let go of the grudge I had on Nadia. But then, why did Nadia always have to pose as a threat to whatever I desire, or have?It wasn’t my fault that I tried several times to eliminate her. She had always made me uncomfortable, and I can’t keep on living in discomfort every single time.The dungeon was cold, and I stuck so close to the wall, wrapping my arms around my crouched knees. It was a bit dark, and spooky, making it certain that there could be spiders and some creepy crawlies. The thought that things that I h
The Substitute Bride: Banished with the Alpha's babies Unbelievable
ALPHA WILL’S POVI couldn’t believe my ears. So, all this while, I was being played by Nina, and she had her way at each stage she planned. It was so unbelievable that she could outsmart me, myself. How could all these happen, and I had no suspicion about this?It was so embarrassing as the memory of the time when Nadia was brought out to the meeting hall and was being interrogated, but nothing worked in her favor- came to my mind. Nadia had pleaded for me to believe her; although, she had no proof, but then, I ought to have been lenient.So, I played Nina’s pawn, and made my lover suffer all for nothing, and alone, all by herself. Anger filled me up like when water fills up a bucket to the brim. I got so furious that if it were possible, fire was going to flare out of my head, showing how dangerously angry I was.I slammed my hand on the table as I rose to my feet with a frown on m
The Substitute Bride: Banished with the Alpha's babies Her end
NADIA’S POVSeeing as Nina was back, it was best to strike before she went out again. Judging from the past ways which Nina has worked, it was evident that she was the fast and smart type. Definitely, she was going to start planning something as she got home.So, it’s best for me to be faster and smarter, or I won’t know when all that I have planned would go down the drain, and she would again, win against me. As I woke the next morning, I immediately went to Will’s study as that must have been where he was, currently.If he was in his matrimonial bedroom, it would have been obvious. It’s either I hear him speaking out in anger to Nina, or he would barge out of the room. So, none of that happened for almost half an hour, last night.As I got to his study, I pushed open the door since it was slightly open, and I was met with his curious expression.&l
