The Substitute’s Redemption Chapter 93
Bruce took Jane to the room where he had put all her things in storage, Jane assessed the room and decided.“We're not moving my things back to the master bedroom, Bruce. I like it here way better,” she said with a small smile.Bruce was a little taken aback at her decisiveness but he wasn't surprised at her decision, he had to admit that he would have been a little disappointed if she let everything go.“Yes, Young Madam.”“Wait a minute.”“What?” Did she change her mind? This simply wouldn't do, she had to be a little more hard-hearted.“Why have you been calling me Young Madam and not Young Mistress like you always did?”Bruce blinked. That was it? He thought it was going to be something else.“Bruce?”“Ah yes, well Dr. Owen was sort of a mistress so we would rather not sully your name like that. Young Madam is better.”“Oh,” she said surprised, “Ok.”She had never thought it would be something like that.They turned to continue setting up the room when Ethan's guard and two others

After Arnold left, Ethan's sour mood returned. He walked to the balcony attached to their room and stood with his hands in his pockets.He began to wonder if he had gone about all this the wrong way but he had no choice. His wife was innocent, he knew that all along.He trusted her, that was why he had let her stay at the home of the Davenport family in W County.He had found out about Cassidy’s plans the moment she had started reacting strangely and showing jealousy after he introduced Jane to her as his wife.The Cassidy he knew was never clingy about their friendship or overstepped boundaries, no one would even know they were friends based on the fact that they share the same personality.Which was why he knew something was wrong.Bruce had been an amazing help in all of this, heck all his guards did well bottling up the extreme hatred they all held for Cassidy.But he had to admit, he hadn't known Bruce was that good at inciting people when he told Cassidy that no one could eat the

It had been two weeks since Jane returned home, she had settled down and gone back to school. With her being more confident, it was hard for the guys to not notice the beauty concealed initially.Guys from different classes and departments had started to compete for her attention and it made the girls jealous but how could they say anything to her?It was no news that she had changed a lot from her usual peace loving self who avoided confrontation. Now she always had something to throw back at anyone who made trouble with her.Even her step sister had not been spared from butting heads with her, her eloquence and confidence always had them stifled but the guys loved it.“Jane, Jane, just hear me out for ten minutes please…”“Senior, I don't have ten minutes to spare. I have a class to get to.”“Ok, just five minutes…”She rolled her eyes and made to leave.“Alright! Just two minutes, okay?”“Please be quick, I really do not want to rush to my next class.”“I… I have been watching you f

Jane stood frozen with a panicked look on her face as Ethan wheeled himself away to the elevator to head to their room.She knew he meant what he said and being the kind of person he was, she knew he would drag her to renew their vows even if she resisted.She admitted that she had succeeded in pushing all his buttons and he would definitely not sit still anymore but she didn't want to bury the hatchet with him just yet, it was far too enjoyable to watch him suffer.She strode quickly to her room and took out her phone to call Ivy who picked up on the first ring.“Jane? Where were you? What happened?”“You didn't tell me anything and I heard from the gist being passed around in school that your husband picked you up.”“Yes, yes he did but that is not what this call is about.”“What do you mean? Is something wrong?”“It's Ethan…” she sighed.“Ok, and?! You can't keep me in suspense like that, young lady.”“I promise I'm not, just listen,” when she heard quiet breathing on the other end,

Meanwhile Jane had landed at W County and prepared to check into the hotel she had already booked when she heard her name from behind.She turned and came face to face with Brock Davenport who stood in awe of Jane before his eyes, she had changed.He then remembered that she knew what he had done and looked down at his feet in shame, he couldn't bear her intense gaze.“Senior, why are you here?” Her question took him back to when he had first seen her at the hospital when she first arrived at W County.“I had a conference here. I'm already being trained professionally at the hospital from last time.”Jane arched her brow, “Good for you,” then she spun back around, “well bye, I hope things work out for you.”He hesitated, “Jane… please wait.”She sighed and turned to face him as he approached and stopped three feet from her to avoid people listening in.“Can we talk… about last time? I know I did something wrong and I would like to apologize and make up for it.”“There is no need…”“Pl

“Let go, Young Madam!”Bruce ran into the room. “That is the Young Master's… bodyguard!”Jane relaxed when she heard that the maxed man worked for her husband. She looked at the blood staining his shirt and licked her lips while shifting her eyes awkwardly.“I did not know you were here on my husband's behalf. Why did you not say something earlier? I am sorry…”“And I did not know you still remembered that you have a husband,” the man sneered.His sarcasm made her unhappy.“Of course I remember that I have a husband. But how can you hurt innocent people, even as his bodyguard?”Jane shook him off and wanted to help Brock Davenport up, but could not escape the man's vice grip.“Let me go!” She cried out.“You are coming with me!” Let's go? He had left her alone for a day and she took that as an invitation to run away to another country and even come to another man's house. He was not letting her out of his sight.“Just because you are my husband's bodyguard does not mean you can be so u

Ethan reached out to touch her beautiful face. He yearned to tear off her two-faced mask and make her confess the truth.When she had said that she liked him, were those just lies meant to win his favor?“Did anything happen last night that you want to tell me about?” It had been dawn when he finally got to W County, the weather had started acting up so they couldn't fly.He wanted to ask exactly what heart transpired between Brock Davenport and her but he couldn't bear to utter that man's name – and he wasn't sure that he wanted to hear her answer.Jane's thoughts traveled to that encounter in the dark that she had the last time she was in W County and all her grievances came spilling out.“So many things. I am still in pain. That man, he…”She couldn't wait to rant about all the awful things that had happened. However a roar interrupted her before she could continue.“Shut up, Jane!”At her husband's shout, Jane stared at him in blank shock. He had called her with such anger… was he

“Why? Did something happen?” Ivy asked suspiciously.Bruce sighed as he felt a tingle of fear move up his spine and moved his phone farther away from him.“The Young Master… misunderstood the Young Madam… he saw her with Young Master Davenport.”Ivy trembled in rage at Bruce's tone. She had to bite back several curse words.“Jane said you were very smart. I told her she was too simple-minded – with your low salary, how brainy can you be?”“You should be happy Jane chose your Young Master at all, in that condition of his. She was worried about her husband the first time she ran to W County and asked someone where he was.”“I was not able to contact her when she boarded that plane back then. I was worried about her – she flew to such a remote place just to take care of your Young Master, without caring about the price of the ticket.”“I don't understand what you just said and I don't want to. I will assume I just heard a very big joke.”“Listen up; if she comes back hurt, I don't care ho

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
