All Chapters of Twist of Fate: The Stand-In Bride: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

In a dimly lit parking lot on a rainy night, Celia White held an umbrella and frantically knocked on the window of a parked car in the corner."Help me! Please help me!"She had been passing through when a drunken man started following her. The instant she saw someone enter the car, she ran over for help.Thud, thud, thud!Her knuckles hurt from knocking as her heart raced and her body trembled in fear.Unfortunately, the car door stayed closed. The drunkard caught up and grabbed her arm.Just as she was about to give into despair, believing the person inside was not going to help her, there was a soft click.The car door opened, revealing a shadowy figure inside.Celia immediately swung her umbrella at the drunkard's face, darting into the car as he yelped in pain."Bitch!"The drunkard screamed in fury.Celia watched in horror as he grabbed the car door, trying to yank her out..."Get lost!"Inside the car, a man's deep and rich voice rang out, causing shivers to run dow

Celia was startled. “A... pregnancy test...”The man in front of her had a tall aquiline nose, thin lips, prominent brow bones, and a pair of narrow, beautiful yet cold eyes.His angular face was incredibly handsome, and his buzz cut added to his rugged masculinity.At that moment, his sharp gaze was like a blade, cutting into her.Celia could not help but take a step back, feeling her heart race. “Who are you? I’m Mr. Hayes’ newlywed wife. You...”“You don’t deserve to know who I am, let alone be Mrs. Hayes! How dare you?!” The man looked at her like she was a fly, completely disdainful.Celia instantly felt upset, her face flushing. The next second, the man gripped her chin, his low voice filled with mockery.“Bringing a pregnancy test kit into the bridal chamber on your wedding night. Are you just peculiar or bold? You must be tired of living! Who are you provoking? Julian? Or the entire Hayes family?”Celia stood where she was in shock. The man in front of her clearly knew

Just as Celia was about to greet her, Misty said, “Zoe, I know you’ve had a hard life before, but you’re Mrs. Hayes now. You need to uphold the Hayes family’s image, so you should improve your appearance.”At that moment, Celia clenched the faded cuffs of her shirt. She could not remember how long it had been since she bought new clothes. She saved every penny she had for her grandmother’s medical bills and could not bear to spend a cent on herself.Suddenly, a warm hand held hers. She looked up and saw Agatha say sternly, “How do you want her to change? Should she wear gold and silver like you, looking so gaudy and tacky?”Misty instantly flushed at being lectured by Agatha, and in front of Celia, a new junior at that.“Old Mrs. Hayes, my heart just aches for what Zoe suffered in the past.” She reacted quickly and handed a bank card to Celia. “This is a gift from me. Go buy yourself some new clothes.”“I can’t accept this!” Celia instinctively refused. She was not the real daught

After retrieving the document from the study, Julian headed towards the bedroom.As he pushed open the door, a look of disgust flashed across his stern face.The room smelled of unfamiliar snacks. A half-eaten apple was found in one corner, and the person responsible was sprawled on the bed clutching her phone.She was asleep…The chip crumbs strewn across the sheets were almost too much for him to bear!Just as Julian was considering throwing her out of his room, Celia rolled over, causing her nightgown to ride up to her waist.A glimpse of her slender waist and snowy-white legs peeked out…Julian's gaze darkened. He quickly pulled the blanket over Celia in an attempt to interrupt his own inappropriate thoughts. To his dismay, he accidentally knocked the chips on the bed over.As a result, half a bag of chips scattered across the floor!At that moment, Celia hazily opened her eyes. Julian noticed they were red as if she had been crying. He was stunned for a moment but quickly

Bam!The car door slammed shut.Surprisingly, it was then that Celia calmed down. Her identity was not completely exposed yet. There was still room for her to talk her way out of the predicament."You asked why I was running, but I want to know why you stopped me," she said.Julian replied, "The details of my condition are an absolute secret."Celia was suddenly enlightened. He approached her because she had seen his face. He wanted to ensure that she would not tell anyone about it."Don't worry. I'll never disclose a patient's condition to anyone. It's a fundamental part of medical ethics and doctor-patient confidentiality. You can trust me!""Really?" Julian suddenly leaned closer, scrutinizing every expression on her face.Celia nervously shrank into the corner, fumbling for the door handle. Julian, thinking she was trying to escape again, moved to grab her. In the struggle, she ended up straddling his lap…They both froze at this awkward moment of intimacy.Despite being
