CHAPTER TWENTY ONE

SUBSTITUTE WIFE TO THE DISABLED BILLIONAIRE/STAR

HEAVEN.I had just enjoyed what could be termed the best day of my life so far.After everything bad that's been happening in my life it felt like I had finally breathed, or the earth had decided to open clear skies for me.Giddy with excitement, I was able to sit through dinner trying to restrain my sunshine to just a little night light inside of me but I was sure the entire family could feel the bubbles on my skin.It didn't bother me much though, as long as nobody popped my bubble I had no reason to relate with them.I've always felt safer when silent, besides it's not like I was their favourite or anything.Once again, Justin's mother tried to initiate a conversation.“When are you getting married Justin?” She had asked.Justin found it a rather impromptu shocking question and had to cough out his meal before he choked on it.“Mother, I am not interested in marriage right now.” He said.I noticed his wounds had patched up well and he was almost back to looking like his old self.H

CHAPTER TWENTY TWO

SUBSTITUTE WIFE TO THE DISABLED BILLIONAIRE/STAR

HEAVEN.I waited for Adrian to come back from the office and it felt like time became slower with each hour that passed.I busied myself doing random mundane things, I cleaned and dusted the furniture in the room, I reorganized the bookshelf by alphabet and then I reorganized it by genre again.I went to the kitchen to see if there was anything I could help the chef with but I was told not to worry.I picked a bowl and took fresh fruits from the fridge and then I went back to the room to wait.Finally, it was evening and then ever so slowly it trickled into the night and that was when Adrian came back.As soon as I heard his car pull in, I felt all happy and jittery. I fluffed my hair and checked my lipgloss again feeling like I was sixteen.Adrian came straight up to the room after exchanging a couple of grunts in greetings with whoever it was he passed on his way in.“Welcome home”, I said, moving to hug him.He planted a firm kiss on my forehead asking me how my day went.I recount

CHAPTER TWENTY THREE

SUBSTITUTE WIFE TO THE DISABLED BILLIONAIRE/STAR

HEAVEN.The morning air felt thick, carrying the weight of last night’s silence. I sat at the dining table, absently stirring my tea, but my mind was elsewhere.Adrian had slept outside. That fact settled in my chest like a rock. It wasn't just about the nightmare—there was something deeper clawing at him. Something he refused to share.I had wanted to wake him, to pull him back inside, but I hesitated. Would he have let me? Or would he have just pulled further away?A part of me feared the answer.“Heaven?”I blinked and looked up. One of the maids, Mira, was watching me with cautious eyes.“Are you okay, ma’am?”I forced a small smile. “I’m fine.”She didn’t look convinced, but she nodded and continued setting the table.Adrian walked in a few moments later, his suit sharp, his presence commanding, but there was something off.His movements were stiff, and when his eyes met mine, there was a flicker of hesitation. I knew he was pretending to be okay and it only hurt me even deeper.

CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR

SUBSTITUTE WIFE TO THE DISABLED BILLIONAIRE/STAR

HEAVEN.The day stretched on, but I couldn’t focus on anything.Adrian’s distance weighed on me. I wanted to help, but how do you help someone who refuses to be helped?I was still lost in thought when my phone rang.Unknown Number.I frowned before answering. “Hello?”Silence.And then“You should leave him.”The voice was distorted, mechanical.My heart slammed against my ribs. “Who is this?”“No good can come from being with Adrian. Walk away while you still can.”Cold fear crept up my spine. “Why are you—”Click.The line went dead.I stared at my phone, my pulse hammering.What the hell was that?And why did it feel like a warning?I didn’t tell Adrian about the call.Not yet.I didn’t want to add to whatever he was already dealing with.But I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was coming.And I wasn’t sure any of us were ready for it.DIANA.I had just gotten to Adrian's office when I saw him walking out of the building with Ethan.I have to say I was completely surprised

CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE

SUBSTITUTE WIFE TO THE DISABLED BILLIONAIRE/STAR

ADRIAN.I lay in bed unmoving. I could hear Heaven breathing beside me, I couldn't afford to face her.I was scared beyond my edges, my nerves were frayed.I realise now that I actually do need help. I can't keep putting this off forever, it's driving me crazy.If I faced Heaven now I'm sure she would find the cracks in my exterior and realise I'm not as stable as my voice had let on earlier.I decided to call Ethan in the morning and talk to him about fixing me for a session with his therapist.For now, I needed to sleep. I had to follow through with my facade with Heaven.We were supposed to talk things out and settle our issues but I couldn't even manage that.I was mentally beating myself about everything.I exhaled quietly, trying not to shift too much in bed. If I did, she’d know I was awake. She’d turn, her dark eyes would meet mine, and I wouldn’t be able to hold my composure. I was already splintering at the edges, barely keeping my head above water.God, I was so tired.Tire
