All Chapters of Substitute Bride: The Mysterious Billionaire Falls For Me: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

//Elena//“You’re getting married, Elena.”It was the first thing I heard from Julia when I came home late from work that night. A big confused look printed on my face for a moment.I mean I was Elena, but I had no idea who was getting married. Yes, I did have a lovely boyfriend Jake but I was sure he hadn't proposed to me yet.If anyone was to be getting married soon, between us, it was Julia, my obnoxious bratty stepsister. She was older and already engaged in the Walton family, to the first son and heir to the Walton Group.It was only two days before when a message from the Walton's, seeking her hand in marriage got to my parents, and my stepmother seemed exceptionally excited about it.The Walton family was one of the most affluent members in the country, they were powerful and wealthy too. Their Group was one of the largest in the world and being married into a family like that meant being married directly into wealth.Julia officially getting entangled with them was something I

~Asher~My palms fisted underneath the coat the moment Ian walked in. I watched from behind the mask with rage burning in me as he made each step toward me with a smirk on his face."Congratulations brother, I heard you're getting married. I wish you nothing but the very best," he stared down at me with a stupid grin.Oh how bad I wanted to punch it off his face! This bastard didn't deserve to smile.Fighting off the fury like always, I pulled on a tight smile."Thank you, brother," I moved my wheelchair to cover more of the space between us, "although I owe you an apology for stealing your future bride. It was not my intention, Grandpa believes getting married might help improve my health. And truthfully staying all alone in that big house can be boring, I could use the company too, don't you agree?"His expression twitched to a frown but I kept my smile intact, proving my vulnerability to him."With that ugly face of yours, I'm sure you'll do nothing but scare her every day. Don't g

~Asher~It was said that the wedding day would be one of the happiest moments in one's life, but for me, it was nonsense.All my happiness had been buried with the day my mom was buried.Revenge was the only thing that keeps me alive."Asher, are you sure not to hold a wedding? As the son of the Walton, you deserve any grand wedding as you like."I still remembered how much worry filled the old man's eyes when I told Grandapa that I and Julia Rogers were not going to have a wedding.I pretended to cough as I explained to him that my body was not fit for the hustle occasion and that what I wanted was to spend a cozy night with my beloved new wife.Sure enough, Grandpa did not force me but silently added some more properties under my name. Ian was exasperated to grit his teeth after knowing that.As for Julia Rogers, I'd already heard that she loved extravagance and always dreamed of an elaborate wedding, one that would be the talk of the country. I was determined to shatter her sweet d

~Elena~The moment he touched me, the memories of yesterday flooded my head and I felt my nipples tighten. I exhaled, hating myself for reacting this way to his presence.A shriek left my throat when I sensed the hot liquid running down my back, but I remained still and let my face twitch to express how painful it was.When it wouldn't stop, I started to move but his hand held me in place."Stay still. I'm checking the temperature."I obeyed. Shutting my eyes and balling my palms, I pushed back the tears, reminding myself that I couldn't react if I wanted to save my family.This monster was my husband and I was stuck in his web.After what seemed like an eternity, he stopped. Or ran out of coffee and I confirmed that when he dropped the empty cup on the saucer. Until then, I didn't realize how tightly I gripped the table.My back started to burn but I made no move to touch it. When he moved to my front, I met his gaze with a glare."I guess it was hot, but unfortunately I wasted every
