All Chapters of Billionaire's Substitute Bride: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

The butler sat next to me. His face darkened and sorrow shadowed his expression.“Edward was a joyful, happy boy like every other boy his age. But that bonfire destroyed everything. Did you know he lost his mother on his birthday night? Everyone celebrates that night, but he can’t. His disfigurement, his mother’s screams in that fire, all of it still have side effects.”“I’m sorry. But should I bear his bad tempers because of his pain?”I felt pity for him, truly, I did.“However, I observed changes within a few days. He acts differently with you.” The man continued.“I don’t think so! He doesn’t like me.”“He does, and you can change him. He doesn’t know how to behave toward a woman. Perhaps you can teach him.”This man was a very benevolent liar!I wasn’t even able to save myself. How could I save another to change his life?“I sincerely thank you for being concerned about me.”It was all I mentioned, revealing the other side of the fact could lead this peaceful conversation to a sp

Olive’s POV~Stretching my body onto the bed, I rolled over. Edward’s penetrating gaze was still displaying across my sight. It sent daggers down my spine to recall it.But a new day has begun.His anger used to bubble up swiftly and below upon me.Sitting straight, I looked at the window side. It was almost noon and for no reason, my body ached. I slept too much.My soles kissed the cold floor, and I sneezed. It was explaining why my body ached this much. Yesterday, I didn’t wear warm clothes and wandered on the beach for so long.Sneezing several times. Eventually, I got to my feet. A slight dizzy made me hesitate to take steps ahead.“The heater must be off!”The floor was cold and stung my soles.“Let’s believe that I didn’t catch a cold.”A knock on the door distracted me when I drew the curtains.“Who is there?”“Young Lady, you must go to the dining room.”Dining room! He wouldn’t want to eat with me then what was the matter?“I’ll be there soon.”I walked to the dresser and sl

Olive’s POV~I was cleaning my room. It was a small room but furnished beautifully and placed in the corridor that led to the kitchen. Thinking about my school and the courses I missed pricked my nerves.A week has p*ssed since our last misty encounter in the study room. Why misty? Because I felt changes in his expression the moment I mentioned he deserved the best.He didn’t give an affirmation, so I didn’t have any clue whether would he permit me to help him or not? Besides, he left afterward and didn’t come back.Last night, I received a text message from my father. He apologized for disturbing me as long as I warned them not to contact me and that we must sever our ties. I was sure he was curious about why I should do that to him.He told me that my university had called him multiple times and he had to visit the supervisor.I didn’t respond to his message because he had settled everything and asked them to give me a month of leave. I was sure he had to pay an amount. But I wanted

Olive’s POV~Getting into the car, Edward kept his distance away from me, and I took a deep breath. I felt pleased that he didn’t commit something wrong to irritate me in front of the driver.“Are you studying a lot lately?”He asked suddenly.“How do you know?”“Crows told me!”He smirked.“I see. Have you been busy?”“I have. Did you miss me?”Of course not! I should have said that, but it consumed so much strength and bravery that it left me with not a single drop!“Possibly you have missed him!”I averted my head to glance at him.“Who?”“John! You must be happy about this reunion!”“I don’t like him.”He didn’t seem to believe me and I didn’t explain further. He might want to extract information about the brother he hated, but I knew nothing about Johnathan, quite nothing.After two hours, we arrived downtown and his driver drove to a hill. I could swear that from that zone, you could view the entire city.As soon as we got out of the car, a chill embraced me. Hugging my arms, I

Olive’s POV~“You smell so good, baby!”“Get off me, *ssh*le.”It agitated my whole body in rage when Jonathan’s voice rang in my head. Pushing him away as hard as I could manage, my mind just warned me to run.Edward must have heard that and judging by the scene, I wasn’t even sure how to explain it to him.His indignant expression had enough to say what he contemplated. My heart was about to jump out of my mouth while running in a corridor and finding a maid.“Sorry, where is the room I was supposed to see my husband?”I asked, gasping and looking back to see if Edward was after me.“That one at the end of the corridor.”I rushed to the door and sneaked inside the room.The maid I went outside with should have told me where to wait for Edward, but she took off to pack the strawberries and I forgot to ask.We were about to go home but Johnathan came out of the blue. That reek rat. He descended upon my path like a predator.Elenore was careful to find a jerk just like herself and stuc
