All Chapters of The Substitute Bride : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Klaus walked into his boss' study after being summoned by him some seconds ago, his eyes traveled round the office he left barely some minutes ago after his boss fell asleep. He remembered everything was in order when he left, if he hadn't known better he would have thought their turf had been infiltrated by some spies from their rival gang. He caught sight of a photograph on the huge mahogany desk, and his face squeezed in a frown . He scrutinized the large study for any shadow of his boss but saw nothing. He retraced his steps and walked away from the room , a few steps to the door he had stifled sobs, his hands that were coiled round the door knob were let loose . He turned to see where the sound was coming from, this time around he saw a pair of shoes sticking out behind the desk. His feet found its way towards it , upon arrival towards the table he found his boss sprawled on the floor, he was a mess to behold. His once styled hair now disheveled, his tie lay loosely on his nec

Passing through the same hallway that they came through , she smiled at her reflection on the glass. Hannah opened the elevator and stepped in, once inside the elevator Chloe couldn't withstand the question that was bugging her mind since she left the hallway that leads to Liam's office ." Hanah, uhm - ah , she smiled a bit to mask her nervousness. She doesn't want to look like a curious person to Hanah . She quickly shut her mouth and faced her head front." Yes, Chloe,you were trying to say something " " Ah- it's alright nevermind" she dismissed the thought too quickly. Hanah turned to face with the brightest smile she could muster ." Look Chloe, it's alright if you want to ask anything. Feel free if you want to ask me anything. You are one of us now ". Hanah said encouraging her to voice out her questions about the firm." It's just that I noticed that Mr Liam occupies a whole floor " she couldn't hide her question any longer, having been given the room to speak freely she might

Chloe looked up to see the lady Daryn mentioned a while ago as Trisha, with one other lady beside her who was holding several folders in her left arm. Chloe wondered what brought them to her office." Who do we have here ? Well if it isn't the murderer" Trisha said, oh so suavely and tilted her head to the side , Chloe forced a smile, straightening her back against the swirl chair she clasped her hand together to have a full view of what she tagged the ' office witch ' if she had to be honest she must admit Trisha was quite a beautiful lady , oval face , brown eyes, straight nose and thin lips that she coated with heavy red lipstick. Not too curvy but average , with thin legs . But her beauty added to her bitchinessAfter assessing her she glanced over to her accomplice who she noticed was nervous maybe she was recruited too . She has short black hair that she made into a ponytail with a band . Red palazzo pants and white long sleeve shirt and a pair of back shoes. For what seemed

After Liam returned to his office from the cafe that Gwen basically dragged her to, claiming he owed her a date . He however ended the date before time, because his mind and soul was no longer in the cafe with Gwen after what he saw . Despite the latter's attempt to spice up things between them by throwing herself at him . At first he didn't understand why she booked the whole first floor, but now he understood why . His mind drifted to the conversation they had at the cafe during the day. " Do you hate me, Liam? " Gwen asked him , blinking at him . Giving him a pitiful look with her smoldering eyes, her voice interrupting his train of thought." No " he deadpanned, giving her a subtle reply. A pang of quick relief washed through her , she closed the distance between them holding his gaze with that same look on her face . " You claim not to hate me, but you always distance yourself from me " she pouted and continued when he didn't reply to her." I'm sorry if you're still upset w

Liam returned to his house later that night and the living room was engulfed in pin drop silence. His footsteps echoed in the hallway of the first floor .His eyes flitted to Chloe's bedroom. He noticed the lights in her room were off which means she was sound asleep. Blaze suddenly appeared out of nowhere, leaning on the wall of the hallway he followed Liam's line of sight . Immediately he knows what's going on in his mind ." She's asleep, if that's what you are wondering about "Liam turned to see the invader of his thought." And what makes you think I was thinking about her " Liam snapped and shot a glare at him." Who are you kidding Liam, it's written all over your voice . You do care for her " Blaze uttered blatantly, he couldn't stand by and watch this blindly anymore." And who made you the judge of that ? Liam demanded, his tone indifferent" You're only stalling the inevitable"" What are you still doing in my house? Last I checked you have your own villa in this city "
