The Substitute Bride: Banished with the Alpha's babies Good news
NADIA’S POVThe doorbell rang, pulling me out of my daydream. I stood up and signaled to my maid not to bother opening the door. I pushed the front door open and welcomed Penelope.After seeing Will off to his car, I had taken my breakfast and called Penelope that I needed to speak with her urgently. My joy knew no bounds when she agreed to come.“I’m so sorry for calling you out suddenly, and that you had to go through the sun’s wrath.” I said, intertwining my right hand with hers.“Oh, darling, you should know I'd do anything for you. Moreover, I didn't like the way you sounded on the phone. Nadia, is there anything wrong?” Penelope questioned, looking concerned.Hot torrents rolled down my cheeks before I could form the words.“Nadia, you need to talk to me. What exactly is going on?” Penelope gave me a worried look.“A lot is going on, Penelope. A lot.” I managed to speak out as tears streamed down to my chin.“Nadia, whatever is going on, I’m here to listen to you. Just try to st

NINA’S POV“What!? She’s going to school?” I exclaimed as I shot up from the couch.My day had been going well up until this sudden news. I didn't pay the man who was watching her every move and the one who injected her just for her to move on with her life. I was trying to scare Nadia because I knew her weakness and now this!“This can’t be, Penelope! Are you sure you heard right?” I asked, holding the phone close to my ear.My blood boiled and I wanted to snap anything within my reach. If Nadia found a way out of this, all my resources would be wasted and that wasn't as painful as not getting the one who belonged to me after paying the price and sullying my hands.In times like this, I regretted running away. If i had known, I would never have absconded. Now, I knew better but things weren't easy.“That’s precisely what I heard from her. Will has approved it, so she should be attending college anytime soon. Just thought to inform you.” Penelope repeated flatly.I needed Nadia acting

NADIA’S POVTwo weeks here had been nothing short of joy. I was loving and living my dream life all thanks to my husband.Getting enrolled was very easy because Will was supportive. To crown it all, I was able to convince him to allow me to keep a guard who would stay around and not follow me everywhere , making me feel awkward.A smile curled on my lips at the thought of my loving husband.“Hey, Nadia.” Derek called out to me as he walked into the class, with his right hand in his pocket.“Hi, Derek. Didn’t expect to see you so early.” I said, with a smile, as I turned to him when he sat beside me.Derek was a friend I met two days after I got admitted. He was a nice guy and beyond that, I loved his artistic prowess. I liked the fact that he respected me and acted mature.“Yeah, I guess I can say the same thing about you.” He chuckled lightly, and ran his fingers through his dark curls.“Look. I drew the Eiffel Tower, but there’s something weird about it.” I uttered, hoping he could

WILL’S POV Help me Please help I opened my eyes to see Nadia whispering these words by my side. "I'm here, baby. You're safe. I've got you." I patted her as I sat up on the bed. She gasped and jerked up from the bed. “Nadia, honey, it was a nightmare, right?" I asked, out of concern. Then she turned to me, looking sad. “Yes.” She responded, and sniffled. “I need you to be calm, Nadia. I’m here with you." I said, trying to make her feel better. “Will, it’s not just the nightmare. I’m also being threatened.” She spoke, with her voice sounding shaky. “Threatened?” I repeated as my right eyebrow arched up. “Yes." She turned to the bedside table to retrieve her phone. "Look at my phone. A text message came up, and it was a threat.” She said as she checked her phone for the texts she received. But there was no evidence of those messages, sent to her phone. I sighed, and cleaned my face with my hand, then moved closer to her at the other side of the bed. I turned her to face me

NADIA’S POV“Will.” My eyelids fluttered open.“Nadia, are you okay now? How are you feeling?”“I’m…I’m okay, now.” I replied softly.He placed his hand on my left cheek, and rubbed it softly with his thumb.“What happened?” He asked, out of concern.“I don’t really know. I was just feeling dizzy and weak. And that happened all of a sudden, so I guess I passed out. How did you know I was taken to the hospital?” I asked, out of curiosity.Before I could speak a word, the door opened, and the doctor walked in with a file in his hand.“Good day, sir.""Good day doctor, thank you so much for everything." Will shook his hands."You are highly welcome and we have good news. The baby is in good condition. Luna Nadia just needs to rest very well. At this stage, she ought to be eating well, and then stress less to avoid being in a bad condition.” The doctor explained.“Thank you, doctor. We’ll note that.”"I will arrange for her discharge immediately."As the doctor walked out, Will’s gaze tur

Nadia's povMy eyelid fluttered open as the sound of birds chirping woke me up. I got prepared for school although I didn’t plan to go to school yet. I needed to go over to Derek’s house to talk him out of whatever ugly thoughts he had in mind.I hailed a cab, and was driven off to his house. As soon as I got near his front porch, I was hoping that his door wasn’t locked, because if it was, and he was about to kill himself, he certainly wouldn’t open the door for me. I walked faster towards his door, and when I pulled the door knob, I realized it wasn’t locked.“Thank goodness.” I muttered under my breath.“Derek!” I called out his name as I walked in, and looked around.“Derek!” I called out to him again but there was no response from him. Everywhere was silent. Not even a creaking sound could be heard. Was he inside, I wondered? I noticed a curved staircase and immediately I rushed up the stairs to see him staring out into space. He looked lost."Derek." I called out but he didn

NINA'S POV.All the parts of my body steamed with pleasure as delight filled my screams and moans. It was a moment of ecstasy as I was being taken to soaring heights right there on my bed.The sheets were a mess and our clothes were strewn recklessly on the floor and the room was lost in our honeyed sounds. I was right at the peak of it all barely containing my excitement when I suddenly crashed back to the ground with the sound my door swinging open. We stopped in the middle of it, and stared at my shocked and disgusted mother who stood at the door still with her hand on the knob. She had probably never expected to walk in and meet me like that. "Nina!" "Mum. Why don't you knock? There's a reason there's a door. It's common courtesy." I snapped, feeling the anger in me rise like waves."Are you kidding me, Nina? You were so taken away doing your stuff, you didn't even hear me knocking and knocking, and why would you leave all your doors unlocked when you're…?" She said still in d

NADIA'S POV.I was worried about what Derek had said. It nibbled at me as I walked out of his apartment.I had tried to brush it away but I couldn't because he was right. I had gotten something that had made me happy. Was I going to lose it? My hand had strayed to my stomach involuntarily and it had all shown on my face. I instantly wished I hadn't allowed him to read my palm. It had only given me something to be depressed about. "Hey, I'm sorry." He had said as I snatched my hand from his. "You shouldn't believe that. It has been so long since I studied palmistry. I've probably lost my touch." He had added, trying to console me, but my mood couldn't be revived. "It's fine… it's cool." I bade him goodbye.** ** **My eyes opened the next day and I sat up feeling a little groggy. "You okay? You slept throughout yesterday." I suddenly heard Will say before turning to see him at his desk studying some papers with a cup of coffee next to him."Oh. I was just really tired, but I couldn

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
