All Chapters of His Substitute Bride: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Sophia CensatioI was working on my system, my whole concentration on it when I saw my siblings walked in. I raised my head and smiled at them. "Back from school." I said to them but they turned mute. I wonder what's wrong with both of them. The lol on their faces indicates something is not right also. "Stop giving me that look and spit it out," I said and continued to concentrate on my system. Janet smack my arm while Nic stood above me and stared down at me like I'd grown two heads. "Are you crazy?!" I burst angrily at her. She's becoming unbearable as the day went by. "Sophia, don't tell me you're fired already? You're fired, aren't you? Because I know, it's not possible to be home this early only if you haven't done anything wrong. You end up upsetting him, don't you? Now you're fired. How do we survive? " She bombards me with tons of questions without allowing me to utter a single word. "I'm still your eldest sister, Janet. I hope you know that?""But I-""That's enough."

Sophia Censatio"It's not my fault that you woke up late, Sophia. Stop stressing me and get dressed already, you've asked me this same question minutes back" This girl just doesn't know how to treat her elder sister. Stupid!"I'm going to deal with you later, but right now, isn't the time for that." I said and jumped up before sauntering to my bathroom."I can't believe she's my eldest sister. She's lucky she's older than me, I would have scolded her life and made her see right from wrong" I heard her say.What?"I heard you, you little rat!" I yelled so she could hear me."It was meant for you to." She yelled back laughing.Brat! Whenever my mind went back to what happened days back between her and Aaron, I kept on wondering if they knew each other from somewhere and I have no idea because they seemed to like each other at the spot. Two idiots!I took a quick shower, brush my teeth and walk out of the bathroom. But, what caught my eye was the neatly beautiful dress lying on my bed

Andrea Salvador"Why?! Why don't you want me to talk about her? Why are you taking her side? I thought you wanted to use her just in the same way you've been using other girls after we broke up. Do you like her now?."Use me? How? Their break up? Were all those kisses and the way he looks at me not real?"What nonsense are you saying?! Of course, I don't like her! let's not continue with this discussion, okay? Just leave."" Why are you pushing me away, Aaron? Do you still have feelings for me? Does your heart still beat for me, especially when I'm close to you?."" Stop getting silly ideas in your head. Nothing as such is ever going to happen between us again."" You sure about that? Even after this?" She moved closer to him and kissed him.I widened my eyes and suddenly felt a pang in my chest. To make the situation worst, he kissed her back. I could move my leg, I so desperately wanted to leave but I can't seem to move my body. I'm trying so hard not to tear up right now. Suddenly,

Sophia Censatio" Mr. Samuel, wh...what are you doing here?." I asked in a gentle tone. He looks upset right now. If a look could kill then, I would have been dead by now. He looks really upset when I haven't done anything wrong. What's wrong with him? "I do not think, I need permission from you to walk around my company. I build this company with my sweat! That chair you're sitting on belongs to me. Should I explain more to you or I cut it shut here?" He questioned me arrogantly.Jerk!Making a scene in presence of so many people here."That's not what I meant to say... I'm just... I mean, i-""What are you doing here?" He cut me off again."It's break time, we are here to take our lunch" Seb answered him. "Really?! Both of you? Out here to eat your lunch? When did you two become this close?." He asked with a raised brow as he pointed his index finger between Seb and me. What?!Is he aware of what he's saying at all? I see no wrong in going out to have lunch with my friend.

Sophia CensatioThe hard glare I received from her made me shut my mouth. "Just go in and pick up your bag. We're leaving." She said." But I-"" Now, Sophia" She added. I rushed into my office, pick up my bag and walk out to meet her. •"Can you be truthful to me? For how long has this been going on? I mean, for how long has he been treated in such a manner? He has been threatening you, right?" She questioned me. We just got to the cafeteria opposite Aaron's office. "Th... Threatened?! No, he would never thin-" she cut me off before I could finish lying. "Stop lying to me, Sophia. I don't appreciate those who lie." She warned me.I don't know what has come over me all of a sudden. Why am I trying to protect him in presence of his mom? Despite all he has done to me. Why am I like this all of a sudden? Or, was it because I was convinced earlier that I felt something for him? Is that the reason why I'm like this? "Sophia, you need to talk to me, for how has this been going on and
