The Substitute’s Redemption Chapter 108
When Silas Maverick closed the door, the room suddenly fell into darkness. Shocked, Jane grabbed Ethan's hand.“Why is it so dark?”“We are watching a movie,” he told her comfortingly, “Of course it will be dark. We will be fine.”Silas Maverick liked to play games but he was not malicious – as Ethan well knew.Jane sat down and took off her mask as a beautiful romance film began to play.“The atmosphere here is perfectly suited to watching a movie,” she said quietly.“It is so luxurious, it must be very expensive.”“Do you like it, Jane?”“I do.”Jane covered her mouth and giggled, helping herself to the snacks as she watched the movie.Ethan mused that if she liked it, he could build a room just like this in his own mansion.“Dear, I am a little warm. How about you?” Jane tugged at her clothes, sweat beading on her forehead from the heat.Ethan switched on the aircon. He reached out to touch her cheek and found it burning.“So hot? Is your fever acting up again?”Jane smiled and sipp

Bruce pinched the space between his eyebrows. Only his Young Master could do such a thing!“Hurry up and open the door before he tears down the room.”Silas Maverick rolled his eyes.“Why didn't your Young Master just take the chance to get intimate with the woman he loves?”“He did not have to break my things! I bet he could not get it up. No wonder the film was useless and he became so violent.”Bruce chose not to grace him with a reply.Silas Maverick found the key and opened the door. Ethan was sitting on the sofa with Jane in his arms.He leveled a vicious glare at the other man and Silas Maverick flinched back in fear.Bruce hurried over and asked, “Young Master, are you alright?”“Get a room for her to rest. Silas Maverick, bring the damn antidote!”Ethan's tone turned even more terrifying.Silas Maverick chuckled.“You are the only antidote for each other.”Ethan stared at him icily. Silas Maverick felt itching on the back of his neck and quickly said, “She should be fine after

Her lips curled into a provocative smile before she caught up with Yashi, resuming her ladylike image.Selene's words were like thorns piercing into Jane's heart. They stayed buried there for the entire day, stealing her focus.“Why don't I accompany you to visit your grandmother?” Ivy offered, trying to comfort her.“It's okay.”If something had happened to her grandmother, the nursing home nurse would have informed her.Jane forced herself to calm down and study when she heard her phone vibrate.It was a call from a nurse in the nursing home, who had not contacted her for a prolonged period. She was silent for a moment before answering the call.“I have bad news, Miss Jane. Your grandmother is missing, we have been looking for her for a long time but we could not find her.”Jane went rigid. “I will go over now!”Ivy was worried. “Jane, do not be hasty.”“She would not just leave for no reason. What Selene said this afternoon must have something to do with my grandmother's sudden disa

Her grandmother's expression was fierce as she raised her arm to hit her.“I will make sure you learn from your heartless mother's mistake.”“I will beat you to death so that you will not embarrass the Harrison family!”Jane did not resist the beating, so Ivy quickly went to intervene.“Stop it! This is all a misunderstanding! You are her grandmother. Should you not be more caring towards her?”“What misunderstanding? She was not raised well. That is why she stole someone's fiance, and even married a cripple.”“Jane, you are too shameless. Did you not learn anything from your mother's mistake?”The mention of Jane's mother only further incensed the old woman. Ivy could not stop her, neither did Jane fight back. The situation was getting out of hand.Finally, Jane's grandmother grew tired. She held her chest and panted. Jane remained silent and red hot fury swarmed her vision.“Jane, listen to me. Divorce that man. You still have a whole future ahead of you. Do not ruin yourself for a l

Bruce immediately showed him the recorded video. He had paid a student to act as Jane’s shadow in school so they would know once anything happened to her.In the video Ethan saw an old lady raise her arm and slap his wife. His expression changed. If he had been present, he would have had that hand removed!“I think it is the Young Madam's grandmother,” Bruce said, head lowered.Ethan frowned. Jane had mentioned that she had a grandmother but had never looked happy when raising the subject.There must be something wrong with their relationship. His work matters could wait. He got up and left for Jane's school.Bruce hurriedly followed behind him and drove him there.__________When they arrived, Ethan rolled down the window and saw Jane sitting in a cafe.The old lady opposite her was agitated. She raised her hand and slapped Jane again. However, Jane seemed to be numb and did not dodge.“Bruce, stop her!”When they arrived at the cafe, Ethan caught sight of Jane – as well as Selene hid

“I…” Madam Fitzergald's expression changed. Ethan spoke over her before she could defend herself.“You want what is best for her? The Harrison household is the equivalent of hell to my wife.”“Do you think you deserve credit for forcing her into hell? Do you think her life is yours to control? What a joke!”“You –” Madam Fitzergald's face flushed red with rage. She pointed at him but the words would not come.“I could not care less what you think,” Ethan snorted, “Maybe you are just not right in the brain. But if you are going to try and take my wife from me, then do not expect any sympathy from me!”Madam Fitzergald was trembling from fury. She pointed at Jane and asked, “Are you going to let this man bully your grandmother?”Jane gripped her husband's hand even tighter.“I thought you were ashamed of me. Since you despise me so much, why are you still bothering yourself with me?”“You…” Madam Fitzergald was in disbelief.“Bruce, settle the bill. I am going to bring Jane to treat her

“What are you thinking? Why do you care what my name is?”Jane stood up and walked over, sparking fear in the female student. She had looked at Jane with disdain after that video and wanted to mock her – not get into a fight with her.Even more frightening was the thought that Jane would make good on her promise and steal her boyfriend.At this moment, someone laughed and said, “Are you afraid already, Phoebe Stewart? If you have the guts to speak, you should also have the courage to stand by those words!”Phoebe glared at the male student who had spoken.“Jason Delaney, do not tell me you are fond of a woman like Jane. You truly lack standards!”Jason Delaney laughed.“The mad dog bites back. I told you not to be afraid – does that count as being on Jane's side?”“I have a question; that old lady said that she is Jane's grandmother, so that is it; end of story?”“In that case, I saw on the school forum that you were doing it with four to five men at once… and even had to get an abort

Brock Davenport had been a worthy opponent, but a few words from the Young Master was ultimately all it took to chase him out of the country.The memory tickled Bruce as he remembered how his Young Master had dealt with him every single time.The disguise as another bodyguard was a brilliant front that his Young Master had secretly appreciated but his personal favorite was the meal they had with Young Master Davenport.Who would have thought that another boy would come to take his place?Jane got into the car before hanging up. She smiled and spoke to Ethan.Ethan did not bother asking who that boy was, because he could find out by himself. However, she did not even utter a single complaint about the slander she had faced in school that day.A tinge of sorrow filled his heart. It seemed his precious wife was always sad recently.“Did anything make you unhappy in school today, Jane?”“It is fine. Do not worry, dear, I can handle myself.”Jane could not explain why, but she felt that Et

Jane woke up in an abandoned warehouse north of the city.Because the wedding was tomorrow, Jane had been resting very early recently and even slept in separate rooms with Ethan.Ever since they started having sex, her husband's self-control seemed to evaporate every night, as if he wanted to make up for years of deprivation.It drained Jane of her energy, leaving her unable to wake up the next morning. Ivy had laughed about it at her expense for a long time.However, Jane did not expect to receive a call from the old folks' home the day before her wedding. They had said that her grandmother was dying and wanted to see her for the last time.After careful consideration, Jane decided to grant her request. Ethan had been very busy recently as most of his businesses were conducted domestically now.Now, Ethan had changed and was stepping into new shoes as a new man, so Jane chose to pop down and come back without disturbing him.Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped into the ward, her gra

Jane was stunned silly, his father had gone that far?“Jane?...”“Continue, I'm listening. How did he even know her in the first place?”“He had an ulterior motive that he didn't want to handle directly so when Claire orchestrated the accident that took the Owens' lives, he secretly contacted her and threatened her with it.”“She was only too ready to comply with his orders. Claire had initially thought that Cassidy and I would be married when we were older and she apparently… liked me.”“So she figured marrying me as Cassidy would solve that for her but you came into the picture, she was receptive to my father's orders.”“He had told her to get you out of the house in anyway possible and he would take it from there…”“So?”“He arranged the robbery… when your passport was stolen. You would be stuck there if you didn't have it.”“He had arranged for you to meet Brock Davenport at the hospital so he would take you with him…”“Hold on, so Brock knew?”“He was in on it because my father p

Ethan's eyes went wide, Bruce put his hands on his head and Arnold stumbled a bit.The officer finally decided he had had enough and left after tucking the speeding ticket into Bruce's pocket. He shook his head and mumbled, “Rich people and their problems”.When he had come out to work today, he had not expected to see the drama from the novellas his wife always watched in real life.The other guards stood by silently, watching and wishing they had not given in to this Young Miss. She wouldn't have been able to come here on her own.Jane clenched her fists and finally decided she had had enough and she let her words out without filtering them one bit.“Now listen here, you poor excuse of a noblesse daughter,” Everyone's eyes went wide, “I do not care where you have come from, your money, title or none of that shit.”“That is all you will say in front of me. You open your gutter and utter one more word, I will make sure to give you what your abductors did not.”“A new facial reconstruc

Jane sneered at the television in disdain and picked up her phone to call Bruce.When he finally picked up, she stated abruptly, “Tell your Young Master not to come back!”“He should not set foot in the villa. I have changed the passcode so he shouldn't bother with anything.”__________Bruce was stunned and immediately walked up to Ethan who was on his way out after the conference was done.“Young Master, the Young Madam called.”A smile bloomed on his stoic face at the mention of his Jane.“She said not to bother coming back and that she has changed the passcode of the villa.”Ethan's smile fell and an overwhelming sense of panic set in, he ran off to the parking lot with Bruce hot on his tail, both ignoring the calls of Cassidy.He got to the car and frantically gestured for Arnold to unlock it. They both got in with a confused but alert Arnold wondering what the problem was.“To the villa, as fast as you can go!”Arnold started the car and raced out of the parking lot, no one noti

Ethan opened his eyes first and glanced at the alarm clock on his own bedside table. It read 6:00am, he turned to admire his wife with her hair fanned out on the pillow.Smiling at the memory of last night, he tucked a stray lock of hair away from her face. It had taken some time and serious work to convince her but he did.He had to go pick up Cassidy from the abductors’ den. His guards had infiltrated the den the night before and rounded them up in minutes.They were no match for these ones as they were former mercenaries he had given shelter, a job and a new life.Ethan got up reluctantly to take a shower. All he wanted to do was stay with his little wife in bed and cuddle.He would have that soon enough, bringing back the annoying little critter was more important at the moment since his jet was more convenient than a commercial flight.Shooting Bruce a text to pick him up, he then proceeded to accessorize before planting two kisses on her lips and forehead.He left once Bruce let

Jane's eyes fluttered open and the soreness of her lady bits hit her like a train, she recalled what had happened and blushed. She had finally consummated her marriage.The rumbling of her stomach jolted her from her thoughts, she was hungry. She sniffed the air and smiled, he was in the kitchen.She had a quick shower and tip toed out of the room, she peeked into the kitchen and watched her husband's back muscles ripple as he plated the pasta he just cooked.“Jane, baby, get over here and sit. I can feel your eyes on my back,” he chuckled and she scrunched her nose as she blushed in embarrassment.“That's impossible, how did you know?” She took a seat at the kitchen island and beamed at her plate.“I heard you close the bedroom door. Letting the door close noisily is not exactly wise if you were trying to sneak up on me.”He pinched her cheeks still rosy from her shower. She dug into the pasta with gusto, moaning at the first bite.Ethan swallowed as his brain fed him with flashbacks

Ethan kissed her again and laid her down on the messy covers. Leaning forward, he let his mouth linger on the shell of her ear, his breath tickling her neck.Jane shuddered at his touch, eyes bright and hazy with the eagerness to learn and desire pooling in her belly.He lightly traced her jawline with his nose, enjoying the way her breath hitched.Jane felt she could burst into flames at any moment, feeling goosebumps spread down her neck and chest. He had barely touched her but she was ready to melt into a puddle.Ethan wasted no time sinking his hand into the hair at the nape of her neck with a mild grip. His free hand slipped around her body and palmed her ass as his lips hovered barely an inch over hers, making her moan into his mouth.It felt like he was everywhere at once and all she could do was hold onto him and take it. Then his mouth travelled down her neck, sucking and nipping, she was now practically panting.Ethan sunk to his knees by the bed in front of her, tugging at

The cops tried to talk her out of it as she backed the exit and attempted to leave with the hostage but was quickly immobilized by two bullets from a Ruger SR22.Shot on target by a retired female general and shattered her kneecaps.She was quickly dragged out and calm was restored within the shocked guests.“I would like to state that the real Cassidy Owen is safe and will be returning soon, that's all.”Ethan walked out amidst shouts for interview requests from the reporters and stunned silence from the rest of the audience.Only the comments from the live stream was active even after he left.He rushed to the car and settled in, thinking of how cool he must have looked.“Take me to the villa instead, and don't wait. I will be sleeping with my wife today.”Bruce and Arnold glanced at each other, understanding their Young Master's intentions so when they dropped him off in front of the gates of the villa, they shouted some encouraging words.“Take care, Young Master. You have to do i

There was an uproar both at the event and in the comment section of the live stream. The directors stood stunned at his statement and the reporters began taking pictures and video cameras were focused on the people at the doors of the vault.Jane went mute in front of the television while Ivy screamed in surprise.Cassidy went pale in fear and horror but composed herself and tried to defend herself.“Mr. Harrington, we have been friends for many years but I do not think I like this joke.”“Friends? I have no recollection of ever being friends with a wannabe imposter. That is extremely beneath me and very insulting.”“Mr. Harrington,” the older director, Mr Jenkins, called out to him, “You do realize that you can't just say things like this…”“Oh I can, because I've known my friend since childhood and that… is not my friend.”“Ethan, if this is about what happened at your house with your wife… I apologize. However, you can't disrupt my inauguration because you want to be petty…”“Petty
