The Substitute Bride: Claimed by My Ex's Father
Julian’s life is already a nightmare. He was just brutally dumped by his wealthy, arrogant boyfriend, Chase Sterling. To make matters worse, Julian’s twin sister runs away on the morning of her arranged marriage to Chase’s terrifying, billionaire father—the ruthless patriarch of the city's top law firm, Victor Sterling.
Knowing Victor will destroy their family if the bride doesn't show up, Julian makes a desperate, suicidal decision. With his slender build and identical face, Julian puts on the wedding dress, the heavy veil, and walks down the aisle to marry his ex-boyfriend's father.
Julian thinks he just has to survive the wedding night and find a way to annul the marriage later. But he severely underestimates the man he just married.
When the bedroom door locks, Victor doesn't even bother lifting the veil. Instead, he unbuckles his belt and whispers, "Did you really think a piece of lace could hide you from me, Julian?"
Victor knew it was Julian the entire time. In fact, Victor secretly orchestrated the sister's disappearance just to force Julian into his bed. Now, Julian is trapped in a strict, BDSM-laced contract marriage where his terrifying new husband will train him to be a lethal lawyer by day, and a perfectly disciplined boy by night.

Chapter: The LoopholeTick. Tick. Tick.The rhythmic, heavy sound of the antique grandfather clock in the corner of the office was the only noise cutting through the suffocating silence.It was 11:14 AM.Julian’s eyes burned, dry and stinging from staring at the dense, microscopic print of the Vanguard deposition files for nearly three hours straight. His tailored suit jacket hung over the back of his chair, his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, and his silk tie was loosened just enough to let him breathe.His lower back throbbed with a dull, heavy ache—a constant, physical reminder of Victor’s ruthless discipline the night before. Every time Julian shifted in the plush leather desk chair, the friction sent a jolt of heat straight to his core, distracting him, taunting him.Focus, Julian ordered himself, gripping his red pen so tightly his knuckles turned white. If you fail, he locks the door. He takes off the belt.A shameful, treacherous part of Julian’s brain actually wanted to fail just to experience th

Chapter: Chapter 4: The Corner OfficeThe towering glass and steel skyscraper of Sterling & Associates loomed over the downtown financial district like a monolith.For the past year, Julian had walked through the revolving glass doors of this building with his head down, clutching a cheap cup of coffee, terrified of being yelled at by the senior partners. He had spent eighty hours a week crammed into a windowless cubicle on the fourth floor, drafting brilliant legal briefs that Chase would later slap his own name on.Today, everything was different.The sleek black Maybach pulled up directly to the private VIP entrance. Victor’s driver opened the door, and Julian stepped out into the crisp morning air. He adjusted the cuffs of his bespoke black suit, his heart hammering a frantic, nervous rhythm against his ribs.Victor stepped out behind him, a towering, terrifying presence in his charcoal three-piece suit. He didn't offer Julian his arm this time. In the ruthless, cutthroat world of corporate law, Victor Sterling was a

Chapter: Chapter 3: The StepmotherEvery muscle in Julian’s body ached.It wasn't the sharp, agonizing pain of an injury, but a deep, heavy soreness that radiated through his thighs and his lower back. He shifted against the incredibly soft, high-thread-count sheets, a soft groan escaping his lips.The memories of last night came rushing back in a dizzying, overwhelming flood. The sharp crack of the leather belt. The strict, unyielding commands. The way Victor had systematically broken down every wall of Julian’s panic and replaced it with a dark, consuming pleasure. Victor hadn't just touched him; he had dismantled him, demanding absolute surrender and rewarding his obedience with a mind-numbing ecstasy Julian had never experienced with Chase.Julian opened his eyes.The heavy blackout curtains of the master suite were drawn back, letting the crisp morning sunlight spill across the Persian rug. Lying in a discarded, ruined heap in the corner was the Vera Wang wedding dress."You have exactly ten minutes to shower and

Chapter: Chapter 2: The Master's SuiteThe heavy oak door of the master suite clicked shut, the sound echoing like a gunshot in the cavernous, dimly lit room.Julian stood frozen in the center of the plush Persian rug, his chest heaving against the rigid boning of the corset. The reception had been a terrifying, suffocating blur of flashing cameras, clinking champagne glasses, and the constant, heavy weight of Victor’s hand resting on the small of his back.Through it all, Victor hadn't said a word about the veil. He had played the part of the stoic, powerful groom to absolute perfection, accepting congratulations from the city's elite, including his own son. Chase had even toasted them, a smug, arrogant grin on his face, completely oblivious to the fact that he was raising a glass to his ex-boyfriend.But now, the performance was over. They were alone in Victor’s private penthouse at the Sterling Estate.Julian’s hands shook violently as he reached up, his silk-gloved fingers fumbling with the intricate diamond pins holdi

Chapter: Chapter 1: The Veil of DeceptionThe corset was going to crack his ribs.Julian took a shallow, trembling breath, the heavy French lace of the wedding gown scratching against his collarbone. Beneath the layers of suffocating tulle and silk, a cold sweat tracked down his spine. The air in the grand cathedral was thick, choking him with the overwhelming, cloying scent of thousands of white lilies.Just keep walking, Julian ordered himself, his satin-clad heels sinking into the plush crimson carpet. Left foot. Right foot. Don't look down. Don't trip.The massive pipe organ above him roared, playing a wedding march that sounded more like a funeral dirge. Three hundred of the city’s most elite, ruthless socialites turned in the pews to watch him. Camera flashes exploded like lightning, blinding him through the thick, opaque fabric of his cathedral-length veil.They thought they were looking at Juliet.They thought they were watching the beautiful, delicate daughter of the failing Ashford family walking down the aisle to s
