All Chapters of The Billionaire's Replacement Bride: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

“You look stunning!” Wyoming was startled at the softly spoken compliment, pulling her out of staring into space to watch her husband’s careful approach from the reflection in the mirror at the center of the room. She looked around her. Max already left after he helped her prepare for the company launch and welcome party held at the five-star hotel and resort owned by the Ellishes. Their eyes met, causing Cayden's face to lift in appreciation. On the other hand, the eye contact left a sigh escaping from Wyoming's lips, allowing her eyes to linger over her husband's reflection in the mirror.Cayden's looked dreamy in his black and white three-piece suit. His attire matches Wyoming's black and white satin sheath gown, with a slit that goes up to the mid-thigh and a wide neckline exposing her creamy shoulders and collarbone. “You look dashing, yourself.” She commented huskily.Her breath came out labored while she waited for Cayden to reach her. As always, Cayden’s mere pres

Wyoming listened while Cayden talked to his mom.   Alicia learned earlier from Kate and James that Cayden was looking for Wyoming and got worried.  From what she could hear from Cayden's side of the conversation,  Alicia was not satisfied with his assurances and wanted to see Wyoming for herself.  “She is alright, though we can not go back to the party.  Can you make excuses for us, mom?”  Cayden said wearily.   He brushed a hand to his hair, the tension slowly seeping out of his body and his breathing returning to normal.  But what happened dampened his mood, and instead of continuing with the p

“Don’t call me that.” When John thundered those words, Cayden hung his head low, thinking John is giving him the cold shoulder.Cayden felt discouraged. He did not think that John’s show of rejection would affect him this much. He thought he had this whole thing down pat, realizing he had his work cut out from him when John spurned him outright. Then, John gave him the go-signal telling him to call him dad and welcomed him to his family.Cayden could not explain the euphoria knowing John accepted him into the family. So when John stated his conditions, he did not think twice about agreeing. It was a small matter that he could easily arrange. He has finally accepted Wyoming in his life, and so does Wyoming. The future seems to favor them as he envisions a life with her from this day forward. “Where are we going exactly?” Marcus asked when Cayden hauled and bundled his whole family in the family-owned Mercedes-Benz G-Class van.“We’re going on a family outing.” He teased, but in

“Why didn’t you tell me?” Marcus Ellish confronted his wife of seventeen years when everything gelled in his head. The tension in his arms told Alicia that he was trying hard to control his anger. Marcus may appear reserved most of the time, a workaholic even but it does not mean he wants to be kept in the dark, unaware of what is going on behind his back, especially if this concerns his children and wife. He was a person who rarely gets angry, but when he does, the world around him shakes and trembles. Marcus values honesty so much. It was what kept their marriage going for seventeen years. He and Alicia had never kept secrets between them. They started out as strangers in this marriage, which progressed into friendship, to later became the foundation of a beautiful relationship. To learn that she was keeping a secret this big - anger simmered inside him. Alicia bit her lip. She felt ashamed. She kept silent, not knowing what to say, looking helplessly at Noah. "I told h

Cayden brought Wyoming to the cafe across the street from the hospital’s building. All this time, he never let her go, his arms wrapped around her waist protectively, baffling her. Wyoming felt self-conscious at the proprietary way Cayden held her. This felt different from his previous hold on her. Whereas before there was detachment - looking at his profile now, she only saw a gentle expression on his face. It felt to Wyoming like Cayden treats her with kid gloves, ready to break any moment. His expression baffled her as well. It seemed as if he was afraid to let her go because the moment he did so, she would flit away from him and never come back. She realized it may have something to do with her father’s orders to divorce him. She assumed that like her, Cayden did not want to separate. Hope spreads through her, assured of his growing feelings toward her. A surge of tenderness welled inside her. A tingly feeling coursed through her spine at the thought that as much as she
