All Chapters of Her Substitute Groom: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Chapter 92'I'm Janice's fiancee' I could've sworn that the voice was Carl's if at all he was still alive. I held the phone tightly in my hand and stared at the house. I couldn't get through to Janice on the phone, and since it was late, maybe coming back tomorrow morning wouldn't be a bad idea after all.Just when I was about to leave, my phone started to ring and I picked up on the first ring when I found that it was Chase on the phone."Where the hell did you rush off to? Mom just called me now. Don't tell me you went to see Janice this night," Chase's voice resonated from the other end, but I disconnected the call wordlessly. I wasn't in the mood to say anything to him. Not now.I was going to leave, but I quickly changed my mind. Maybe seeing her this night was really the best thing to do. I didn't have enough patience to last me for the night.I walked over to the telecom and pressed it. Who knows, maybe they'll allow me inside if I use it."Hi! I'm here to see the owner of the

Chapter 94"Open the door, Connor," Mrs. Hughes' voice resonated from outside the room as she banged on the door hard, but Connor was just seated on his bed and puffing smoke from his mouth. The ground was littered with cigarette ash and five cigarette butt. On the nightstand were two packs of cigarettes with one opened and six sticks missing from it. 'How did a murderer like you keep me by your side for so long?' he huffed and threw his head back as tears streamed down his cheeks. His heart wrenched painfully and his breath hitched. No matter how much he tried to get those words off his head, it proved abortive.Slowly, Connor gritted his teeth until they started to hurt, but even with the pain, it was still nothing compared to the pain in his heart. How did she say those words to him? What did he do so wrong that she couldn't forgive him? What the heck came over her? He asked himself, and even though he tried hard to hate her for hurting him so badly, he ended up falling for her an

Chapter 96Janice POV"Sweetheart, let's go inside," Carl faced me and smiled at me, but that smile meant something else and if I could do anything, I would start running right away from here.Chase was too shocked to talk, so he just stared wordlessly. I had expected that reaction, anyway. I mean, this dude was believed to have been dead, and popping out of nowhere now was really shocking."Come on," My heart missed a beat when he placed his hand gently around my shoulder like the gentleman he never was, and I was left with only one choice, and it was to follow him.I wished I could disappear at that moment as he led me back into the house. My heart pounded hard against my chest, my breath hitched momentarily and I felt suffocated as the thought of the hell that awaited me behind those closed doors hit me hard.Nobody was in the living room when we got there, so he led me to the room, and as soon as we got inside his room, he slammed the door close and locked it."Ca... Carl... I did

Chapter 98Janice POVMrs. Hughes didn't deserve any of the pain she was being through, and seeing her earlier broke my heart. She was a nice woman who never deserved the treatment she was given. I could understand how eager she must've been upon realizing that her son whom she had been mourning for months was alive, and the heartbreak she must've suffered when he pretended not to know her.The sound of the knock on the door pulled my attention."Who is there?" I asked."It's me. Can I come in?" My heart missed a beat and I rose to my feet when I heard Carl's voice from outside. I swallowed nothing, my heart hammered hard against my chest and I fondled with my fingers. I couldn't stop him from coming inside the room and I couldn't also send him away."Can I come in?" He asked again, and this time, I was left with the only choice of letting him in. The door opened, and he walked inside. As usual, he was wearing a pair of black short trousers and a black casual shirt."I've been home ov

Chapter 100"What did you say you wanted to talk to me about Janice?" Connor asked desperately as soon as Chase pulled the car over in front of the restaurant."Why are you being so desperate, Connor? I'm not going to tell you, not until we have lunch together," Chase replied to him as he removed his seatbelt and stepped out of the car."If you tricked me into coming here, then I'm going to be so mad at you, Chase," He reminded Chase as they both walked toward the entrance door of the restaurant."I'm not trying to play you, trust me," Chase assured him, but deep inside him, he knew there was nothing to talk about. He only wanted to get him out of the office so he could eat good food even if it was just for the day. He hadn't been eating well, and he was just being like this as a concerned brother.Chase ordered food for both of them, but Connor could barely eat his food as he was being eaten up by his curiosity, dying to know what his brother brought him out here to discuss."Trust m
