The bride's stand-In Who are you?
The clap of his hands echoed sharply, snapping me out of my thoughts. Without a word, Artemis—the girl with the fiery red hair from earlier—entered. Her presence was just as commanding as before, and she didn't waste time waiting for pleasantries."Take her to her room," he said simply, his tone cold, clipped.Artemis nodded once, motioning for me to follow. Her pace was brisk, her footsteps echoing in the long hallways. The silence between us was deafening, and I couldn't help but notice how perfectly she moved, as if she had been trained to command every step she took.We passed through what felt like an endless maze of corridors. The first hallway was dimly lit, with walls lined with ancient paintings that seemed to watch us as we walked. The second was brighter, its windows offering glimpses of the night sky and a vast, moonlit garden below. By the time we reached the third floor, the air felt colder, heavier.When Artemis finally stopped in front of a massive door, she didn't say

I stood frozen, my feet rooted to the cold floor, as the man before me emanated a raw and untamed energy that made the air feel heavy. His presence was overwhelming—broad shoulders that seemed to carry the weight of worlds, a jawline sharp enough to cut glass, and eyes like two shards of ice, piercing straight through my soul. He was handsome in a way that felt dangerous, almost unearthly, and his every move radiated control.His hand came down hard on the rock-strewn table, the sound sharp and unyielding. "Where is Diane?" he demanded, his voice as cold and cutting as a winter storm.I opened my mouth, but no words came. Fear clawed at my throat, making it impossible to speak. His patience snapped, and his gaze darkened with fury."Will you talk?" he thundered, leaning closer. The intensity in his eyes was suffocating."I—I don't know," I stammered, the words tumbling out incoherently. "She...she ran away."He straightened, his expression hardening. "Diane ran away? Is that the best

The moment their lips collided, the world around them blurred into nothingness. Evelyn's resolve crumbled as Michael's commanding presence overwhelmed her. His hands, strong and sure, cupped her face, deepening the kiss. The tension between them was electric, a volatile mix of anger, desire, and something unspoken. Evelyn clung to him, her fingers fisting in his shirt as if afraid to let go.Michael broke the kiss, his breath hot against her flushed skin. "You don't know what you're asking for," he murmured, his voice a dangerous mix of warning and promise. But Evelyn, trembling yet resolute, met his gaze."Then show me," she whispered, her words trembling but unwavering.A growl rumbled from deep in his chest. In one fluid motion, he lifted her and pressed her against the cold wall, the contrast sending a shiver down her spine. His hands roamed over her body, skimming her curves with a deliberateness that made her gasp."Tell me to stop," Michael said, his voice rough almost like a p

The room was still, save for the sound of Evelyn's soft, steady breathing. Michael leaned against the edge of the bed, his chest heaving as he stared at her. Her hair was a tangled mess against the pillow, her lips slightly parted as she slept. The marks he had left on her neck and shoulders were a stark contrast against her pale skin. She looked peaceful now, almost angelic, but the weight of what had just transpired pressed heavily on his chest.He ran a hand through his hair, cursing under his breath. Sweet. That word barely scratched the surface of how Evelyn had felt in his arms. Her touch had been hesitant at first, but her body had responded to him in a way that ignited something primal within him. She was intoxicating, utterly consuming. Better than anyone he had ever been with—and better than he deserved.But the truth was bitter. Evelyn hadn't done this out of love or desire. She had done it for her mother, to fulfill some unspoken obligation to the twisted arrangement Micha

Evelyn stirred, her body aching in unfamiliar ways. As consciousness returned, the events of the previous night replayed vividly in her mind. The soft sheets against her skin reminded her of how Michael's hands had roamed her body, his lips igniting sensations she had never thought possible. But the soreness wasn't just physical—it lingered in her thoughts, clawing at her confidence. This wasn't her first time. Evelyn swallowed hard, memories of Liam surfacing like an unwanted ghost. Her ex-boyfriend, her college love, had been her first. But it hadn't been like this. That night had been a blur of alcohol and betrayal. Liam had taken advantage of her drunken state, ignoring her protests, and afterward, she had convinced herself it had been her fault for drinking too much. She had given her body willingly, but the way he had used her left a bitter scar she couldn't erase. She pushed the thought aside, staring up at the ceiling, her mind clouded with new fears. What if Michael hadn't

Michael's POV:I lit a cigarette, leaning back in my chair as the smoke curled around me, trying to wash away the irritation from earlier. The silence didn't last long, though. Adam, my most trusted man—no introductions needed—stepped in, his face etched with urgency."Boss, there's an emergency," he said briskly.Without wasting a second, I stubbed out the cigarette and followed him downstairs. Adam didn't need to explain further; if he called it urgent, it meant it was serious.In the dimly lit room, he powered up the computer and started typing furiously. The sharp clacking of keys filled the space as I waited, arms crossed, watching him with a calm that hid my impatience. Whatever this was, it better be worth dragging me out of my thoughts.I exhaled a slow cloud of smoke, the cigarette hanging loosely between my fingers as Adam's words echoed through the room. The harsh light from the laptop screen lit up the dark circles under my eyes, sharpening my features and making me look a

The study was dimly lit, the heavy scent of leather and ink filling the air. Vedrick's trembling hands fumbled to close the door behind us, but I stopped him with a glance. Adam leaned casually against the wall, his presence a silent warning. "Sit," I commanded, my voice low, almost conversational. Vedrick obeyed, sinking into the chair behind his desk. He looked smaller now, a man once proud and defiant reduced to a shadow of himself. "Do you know why I’m here, Vedrick?" I asked, taking my time as I approached his desk. I didn’t need to rush; the tension in the room was already thick enough to choke on. "I... I can explain," he stammered, his voice shaking. "It was just a—" "A mistake?" I cut him off, leaning forward to rest my hands on the desk. "Let me guess—you thought you could cut corners. Save a few million here, a few million there. Maybe you thought I wouldn’t notice, or worse, that I wouldn’t care." He opened his mouth to respond, but I raised a hand, silencing him.

The room felt suffocatingly cold, a chill that seeped into her bones as she climbed the grand staircase to her quarters. Evelyn could still hear the faint echoes of the men’s heavy boots on the marble floors as they escorted the mysterious Vedrick upstairs. She didn’t dare ask who he was or why he was being brought into this vast, lonely mansion.The grand chandelier above her cast dancing shadows on the walls, but instead of comfort, it added to her unease. She gripped the banister tighter, her mind racing. The events of the day replayed like a broken record—Michael’s sudden reappearance, his whiskey-brown eyes piercing through her, his silence cutting deeper than words ever could.By the time she reached her room, her legs felt like they’d carry her no further. She opened the door, shut it behind her, and pressed her back against it, trying to steady her breathing. Her room, though lavish with its silk curtains and ornate furnishings, felt like a gilded cage.Evelyn paced the room,

Morning Light and ChoicesEvelyn stirred as the soft warmth of sunlight kissed her face, filtering through the open window. The golden rays danced across the room, casting delicate patterns onto the walls and the polished floor. She blinked slowly, her mind a haze of half-remembered dreams and lingering tension from the previous night. The weight of her new reality pressed against her chest, but for a moment, she let herself bask in the light.Sitting up, Evelyn stretched, the silky sheets sliding from her shoulders. Her gaze fell on the exquisite gown draped carefully over a nearby chair. It was breathtaking—a deep crimson dress with delicate gold embroidery tracing patterns along the hem and bodice. The fabric shimmered faintly in the morning light, exuding elegance and power.Before she could rise to examine it, the door opened, and the maids entered, their presence as quiet as a whisper. Behind them, Artemis followed, her fiery red hair swept into a sleek bun. She wore a black but
The bride's stand-In Darker
Evelyn stirred awake, her eyelids fluttering as she adjusted to the dim lighting of the room. A dull, persistent throbbing radiated from the side of her head, a reminder of the chaos that had led her here. The memory of the accident and the kidnapping that followed was still vivid in her mind—the cold hands that had gripped her, the muffled cries for help. Everything had spiraled so fast. She hadn’t had time to process it all until now.With a soft groan, she pushed herself upright, her hands gripping the silky sheets beneath her. The bed was absurdly large and far more luxurious than anything she had ever imagined for herself. Her gaze flitted around the room, taking in the sheer opulence of her surroundings. High ceilings with ornate molding, plush furniture adorned with gold accents, and a chandelier that cast soft, warm light across the space—it was the kind of life she had only seen in magazines.She swung her legs over the edge of the bed, her bare feet brushing against the cool

The air was heavy with tension as Michael’s sleek black car pulled up to the imposing gates of the Morgan mansion. He had to be careful as he seemed to be exposing himself more often, bringing more danger to him. The guard stationed at the entrance barely had time to react before Michael’s men subdued him, opening the gates with swift precision. Michael stepped out of the car, his expression cold and unreadable, his sharp suit catching the moonlight. He adjusted his cuffs calmly as if the night’s events were nothing out of the ordinary. “Stay here,” he instructed adams and the others. “I’ll handle this myself.” “But, sir—” Adams began, concern evident in his tone. Michael’s piercing glare silenced him. “I said, stay.” With that, he strode up the marble steps of the mansion, his footsteps echoing ominously. Inside, the house was eerily quiet, the grandeur of the lavish interior doing nothing to soften the storm brewing in Michael’s chest Mr. Morgan was in his study, sipping on
The bride's stand-In stubborn
The chaotic aftermath of Evelyn's rescue was palpable as Michael’s team worked quickly to secure the area. Evelyn was unconscious, her wrists bruised from the tight ropes that had bound her. Michael knelt beside her, his jaw clenched as he gently lifted her into his arms. "She’s breathing,” Adams said, his voice calm despite the tension in the air. “But she needs medical attention immediately.” Michael’s nod was curt. “We’re taking her home. Get the medic on standby.” The team moved with precision, clearing the scene and ensuring no trace of their involvement remained. Michael carried Evelyn to the waiting SUV, his grip protective as though shielding her from the world. The car ride back was tense, the silence broken only by the hum of the engine. Evelyn stirred slightly in his arms, her eyes fluttering open for a brief moment. “Michael…” she whispered, her voice faint. “I’m here,” he said softly, brushing a stray lock of hair from her face. “You’re safe now.” Her lips move

Before Michael sat at the table, his fingers lightly tapping against the polished oak surface. Diane’s voice dripped with an odd mix of apology and desperation as she spoke, though Michael barely acknowledged her. His focus, sharp as ever, was split between her words and the unsettling sensation that something wasn’t right. Evelyn’s absence weighed on him, and the tension in his gut refused to ease. “Michael,” Diane began, her tone soft and coaxing. “I didn’t know. I swear, I didn’t. When I left, it wasn’t because I didn’t want to marry you. It was because I thought…” She hesitated, wringing her hands nervously. “People were saying you were… crippled. That you couldn’t even leave your estate. Everyone was gossiping.” Michael’s gaze shifted to her, his expression unreadable. “And you believed them?” he asked, his voice calm but laced with quiet disdain. Diane flinched under the weight of his words. “I didn’t mean to. I was young, Michael. I panicked. I didn’t know what to do.” S

Evelyn’s head throbbed as she regained consciousness, her vision blurry. The cold leather seat beneath her and the hum of the car engine told her she was being transported somewhere. Panic surged through her veins as she tried to move, but her hands were tightly bound behind her back. The faint, metallic taste of blood lingered in her mouth, a cruel reminder of the hand that had grabbed and silenced her earlier.“Stay still,” a gruff voice ordered from the front seat, his tone menacing. “You don’t want to make this worse for yourself.”Evelyn clenched her fists, trying to suppress the rising fear. Her mind raced as she pieced together what had just happened. She had been dragged out of the Morgan mansion, shoved into this car, and now she was at the mercy of strangers with bad intentions. But why? What did they want from her?The car sped through the streets, its tires screeching as it turned sharply. Evelyn glanced out the window, but the tinted glass obscured her view. She could fee
The bride's stand-In Suspicion
"Evelyn go upstairs," Mr. Morgan's voice broke through the silence, his tone commanding. "I need to speak with Diane and Mr. Volkov alone."Evelyn’s stomach churned at the mention of Volkov—another man of power, another link in the chain that she could never escape. She looked at Michael, her gaze desperate, pleading for some sign that everything would be okay.Michael met her eyes, his expression softening for the briefest moment. With a subtle nod, he leaned in slightly, his voice low but reassuring. “Don’t worry. I’m here. Just go upstairs. I’ll be right behind you.”She didn’t trust her voice as she stood up. The last thing she wanted was to leave Michael’s side, to walk away from the only person who had given her some semblance of comfort. But she had no choice. Her father had spoken, and her place was no longer at the table with them.As Evelyn made her way toward the stairs, the heavy silence of the room pressing in on her, she couldn’t shake the nagging feeling that something
The bride's stand-In Tension
Evelyn’s heart raced as Michael drove them toward the Morgan Mansion, her thoughts spiraling into chaos. The weight of what Michael had said hung heavily in the air, suffocating her with each passing minute. Diane’s return meant a return to her old life, the life she had desperately tried to escape. The mansion, her father, the expectations—it all felt like a prison. She had thought that after signing the contract, she would have some semblance of control over her life. But now it was clear that she was just another pawn in a game she didn’t understand. Her father, who had once promised her that she would be free, was now ready to replace her with Diane. It felt like all the walls she had built around herself were crumbling, and she was powerless to stop it. As the car pulled up to the mansion, Evelyn’s stomach twisted with anxiety. The grand estate loomed in front of her, its cold, imposing structure a constant reminder of everything she had tried to leave behind. She didn’t want
The bride's stand-In Diane is back
The morning sun filtered softly through the curtains, casting a warm glow across the bed. Evelyn stirred, still disoriented from the previous night’s events. Her mind was a jumble of confusion, anger, and something else—something she couldn’t quite name. She hadn’t expected to wake up like this, in this grand bed, with Michael’s presence looming over her.And there he was. Sitting on the edge of a stool, freshly emerged from the bathroom, his damp hair still falling loosely around his face. He was naked, his body sculpted and defined, a living, breathing testament to perfection. His eyes met hers, dark and intense, and for a moment, Evelyn felt a strange flutter in her chest. He didn’t speak immediately, just gazed at her with that enigmatic, seductive look that left her breathless. The air between them was thick, oppressive, and she could almost taste the tension.He reached down, slowly wiping the stool in a deliberate motion, as if to remind her of his control, of his presence in h
