All Chapters of A Substitute Bride for the Billionaire: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Luca immediately let go of his wife as they entered the penthouse and headed straight to his room, but she stopped him by holding onto the helm of his shirt. The incident that happened still pissed him and he needed to wash off the blood on his fist and maybe try to cool off in the shower before he ended up venting out on someone else.He got angry a lot, but he could count the number of times he was angry enough to result in physical violence. He wanted to say that he didn’t know what had come over him, but he did.It was the woman who was holding on to his shirt and looking at him with those vulnerable eyes. He had lost it when she cried in his arms, sounding so miserable that he could not stand another second to see her cry. He didn’t know when he had become fiercely protective of her. She had wormed her way into his heart and created a space for herself while he stayed unknowing. His fists clenched, and the anger roared to life once again as he remembered how lost and broken she

Iris reached her room, her heart racing and her whole body shivering. She could still feel Luca’s touch all over her body like his hands were on her. The way he looked at her while they danced had set her on fire and she needed a shower to quench the fire in between her legs.She wasn’t supposed to feel this way after a dance but Luca had become more dangerous for her body and mind. All she could think about was him and he wasn’t helping with the way he constantly touched her and now he added kisses to the equation.She knew she should turn him down or turn her head to the side whenever he leaned down for a kiss but her traitorous body yearned for every touch it could get from the man.She rushed to the shower and lowered herself to the bath tub, pulling her legs to her chest so she was hugging her knees. She was drained and could not stop thinking about him. She wanted him to keep those eyes on her all night. Eyes that made her feel like she was the most special woman in that room a

“James, arrange for Iris’s things to be moved to my room. She’ll be staying with me from now on” Luca announced as soon as they arrived home, startling not only Iris but the entire household who stood gaping at him like he had grown two heads.“Right away, sir” James replied with a nod, the only one not outwardly affected by Luca’s declaration.“What?” Berta and Iris said at the same time. The woman was just as startled as Iris. She kept glancing between the both of them. She could sense the change in the way they acted towards each other and she was happy.“Loren, let’s go and pack the young miss belongings. Get the maids, it’s going to be a lot of work” She mused and dragged a giddy Loren with her.“Luca? What’s all this? We didn’t discuss me moving into your room?” She turned to him with wide eyes after they were alone. She couldn’t say she didn’t hope for this but it was still surreal how Luca seemed to have changed overnight.Throughout the flight and even on the car ride back to

“Come on, Iris. Tell me what happened in Iris. I’ve seen the videos online and I’ve had them on repeat but I want the exclusives” Hailey squealed as she followed Iris around her office. She hung her coat and dropped her bag before she took a seat and pinned Hailey with an amused expression.“There is no exclusive. It was just a business trip and we happened to have a dance and there were other couples there too” She chuckled, amused by her friend’s antics.“Come on, girl. Help a friend here. Feed my imagination please and don’t tell me nothing happened. I saw that Kiss in the elevator” She accused, pointing an index finger at her face.“I’m not denying anything” Iris mused with a small smile. Luca had insisted she give him a goodbye kiss in the elevator and the door had opened when they were almost getting lost in each other’s arms and unfortunately, Hailey had been waiting there.“I’m going to feed my imagination myself if you won’t help me. The new author’s book has been on a delusi

After their usual morning struggle, Luca allowed his wife to roll out of bed so she could begin her usual morning routine before they left for work. He remained on the bed while he waited for her to take a shower since she was very demanding that he stay out of the bathroom even though he tried to make her understand they would both get things done faster if they showered together.She didn’t agree though and the sound of the lock sliding in place made a dopey half-smile grace his features. He rolled his eyes and began to construct a message he wanted to send to Dom about the things he wanted him to prepare before he arrived at the office.Luca had never thought there would be a time when he would wake up in bed with Iris and feel sated and filled with so much bliss to the extent he felt that he didn’t want anything else but here he was, wanting more than to lay in bed all day with her in his arms.She made him want to be domestic. He could see himself being with her for a lifetime a
