All Chapters of The Billionaire's Substitute Bride: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Kyla Eva.“How important is an engagement ring to every woman?”I chuckled when I heard it from Enzo.“Hmm, well, for others, it is. The engagement ring symbolizes your pure love. It’s your heart. You are offering it to the woman you want to spend the rest of your life. That’s what makes it important.”“I see. . .” Enzo weakly nodded. He then seriously looked at me in the eyes.“What if the ring is too old? I-I mean, the ring carries your family's history from generation to generation. It looks ugly and old. Will you still want that ring?”“Yes, of course!” I proudly said with my chin up. “It’s not the price, Enzo. Even if it looks old and ugly, it embeds your family history from generations. And that alone is valuable where money can’t buy. It has a story to tell, and the love circulating in the ring is strong. Your soon-to-be wife is very lucky,” I sweetly smiled. I mean it. That’s the true meaning of an engagement ring for me.--The moment we stepped inside our roon, Enzo hugged

Kyla Eva."Just keep pretending, and don't tell Enzo about you, Kyla."My mouth parted after hearing what my father said in the line.Kylie is missing at the moment. They could not locate her, so they don't know where she is. My father used all his resources to find her, but it was hard. According to my father, he noticed that my mum was becoming increasingly desperate, emotional, and stressed every passing day.I bit my inside cheek while listening to my father in the line. They didn't even inquire about my well-being. It's always the same - they don't care. What else do I expect? And why do I still hope? I'm really stupid."Kyla, please, just this one, my dearie. I promise this is the last, and after this, you are free. You can do whatever you want to do. You are free to choose your destination and go wherever you desire. I will not let your mother or your twin sister harm you. I will protect you. Just do this for your twin sister's sake, Kyla, please," my father pleaded in the lin

Enzo Denver.I stood stiff, feeling the cold in my system.What the fuck is happening? Did I miss something? How?"Enzo Denver? Yo, bro? What the hell? Did you just collapse? How can a freaking doctor have a heart attack?" Linus chuckled in the line.I shook my head and blinked my eyes before picking up the phone again, and Linus voice was unmistakable.I don't know what to say. I'm speechless as hell, and I'm not prepared for this.All along, I thought that Kylie was with me and that she was my wife. How the hell did this happen? Dammit!"Enzo, are you okay? I apologize for being direct, but I don't usually slow down. You know that don't you?" He laughed. "But hey, before you comment, I just need you to listen to this first," he continued.I shut my eyes, feeling like a shit now. "Go ahead, man," I said, tightening my jaw."Okay. Here's more. Your Kylie is out of the country. She's in Singapore with Dominic Echavez. Does that name ring a bell?"Fuck! I swore again behind my mind. I

Kyla Eva.The cold wind greeted us the moment we touched base. I felt nervous. Knowing that I would see Enzo's mother made me anxious about how to carry myself to her liking. I hope we get along well."Just be by yourself. Don't worry about my mother. She'll love you."My response was a deep sigh of worry, and I could no longer bring myself to smile. I remember Kylie telling me that they never liked each other. She did not elaborate on why, but Enzo's mother hated her."Ready?" Enzo looked at me."Yeah, I am," I nodded weakly and looked at the stuff we had with us."You surely have plenty of stuff in there while I only have a few days of clothes," I said."Do you think only my clothes are in there?" he mischievously smiles. "I got yours too, you know," he winks and moves them."W-What? Really?" I stammered. I couldn't believe it.How did he manage to take some of my stuff from Kylie's apartment?Oh yeah, right. Enzo was Kylie's fiancé back then, and of course, he knew her apartment p

Enzo Denver."Please give her a chance, Mum. You will love her. She's not the same person she used to be.""She's an actress, Enzo, and you are a doctor. You have a gentle and kind heart. While her? Huh, she's wicked! Enzo, she's an actress. Who knows if she's only pretending to get what she wants? She can play with your emotions, but not me." Her brow raised as she looked away.My mother is very angry, and I can sense why. Kylie made a terrible mistake with her in the past, and that was my mother's first impression of her. Soon after that, she never like her.The real Kylie Eve lacks the ability to blend in and understand people. I knew it all along, and still, I understand her. She was stressed and dealing with high anxiety and depression due to work. I was helping her manage her medication.I felt sorry for her, but I loved her. I could not let her go. That's why I tend to understand her in everything that she likes to do. I showered her with luxurious gifts, and her happiness bro
