The Billionaires' Substitute Bride

The Billionaires' Substitute Bride

She thought they came back to save her. They came back to sell her. Jasmine is drowning in debt, pulling triple shifts while her grandmother lies unconscious in the ICU. When her long-lost parents pull up in a luxury car crying, pleading and promising to pay for the surgery her grandma needs, it feels like a miracle. But her parents didn't return out of guilt. They returned to turn Jasmine into a scapegoat because her identical twin sister refused an arranged marriage meant to save the family business, leaving Jasmine to be shoved into her sister’s place. To save her grandmother, Jasmine has no other choice but to agree. After two weeks of being forced to mimic her sister’s every habit, she’s handed off to the powerful Callahan family. But the moment the doors close behind her, the real nightmare begins. She wasn't married off to just one man. She’s been sold to three brothers. Three men who demand control, expect submission and take whatever they want. Trapped, Jasmine has to play the obedient bride to three men who have no idea she's an imposter. But things get dangerous when the line between pretense and desire starts to blur.

Chapter: CHAPTER FOUR
JASMINEWhat. The actual. Fuck. Every time I thought this arrangement couldn’t get any worse, I was proved wrong.I stared at the three men sitting across from me, wondering if I had somehow misunderstood what Noah had just said. I was marrying all three of them? No. That couldn’t be right.For a moment, I forgot how to breathe.Noah released my chin, but I could still feel the pressure of his fingers against my skin. His grey eyes held mine for another second before he stepped away, wearing the same infuriating smile he had given me when he caught me in the rain. Of all the men I could have ended up marrying, it had to be him.My stomach tightened as I remembered how I had practically insulted him outside. Sitting here now and realizing that he was to be my husband, fear settled in my chest. I should have just kept my mouth shut. What if he rejected the marriage because of me? The whole plan would fall apart and my grandmother’s life would be at stake.I took a deep breath and

Chapter: CHAPTER THREE
JASMINENo.I clenched my fists in the dark. No way.I didn't panic. My mind raced, putting together everything Willow had just said.Travis Sterling. Security passcodes. The Swiss account. They thought I was just a dumb waitress they could throw away. But Willow had just given me the weapon I needed. I didn't need to stop the wedding. I just needed to stay alive long enough to use this evidence against Willow when the money vanished.—The morning of the wedding came with a heavy storm.Rain pounded against the windows as maids laced me into a heavy silk wedding gown that felt like a cage.While the maids were in the other room getting the veil, I quickly reached into a vanity drawer and grabbed Willow’s extra burner phone. My hands trembled as I dialed a number I knew by heart.“Hello?” a tired voice answered on the third ring.“Lucy, it’s me,” I whispered, keeping a cautious eye on the door.“Jas?! Oh my god, where have you been? I’ve been looking everywhere for you!”“Listen to m

Chapter: CHAPTER TWO
JASMINE“W-What…who…who are you? What’s going on?”I stumbled back, turning around to face my mother. But her face had completely hardened, her warm demeanor replaced by a look of disgust. "Wipe those pathetic tears off your face," she spat, her tone slicing through me like a blade.I froze, the smile dying on my lips. "What?""Do you really think we spent weeks tracking down a dirt-poor vermin like you just to play happy family?" she scoffed, turning to me. "You are here because your twin sister ruined everything. And you're going to fix it."My blood ran cold.I lunged for the car door handle, throwing my weight against it to get out into the hallway.But a large hand grabbed my wrist, pulling me back roughly. “Don’t be a fool, Jasmine,” my supposed father growled. His grip felt like iron around my arm. The soft, gentle man who had cried in the alley just minutes ago was gone. In his eyes was nothing but ice. “Let go of me!” I spat, struggling to escape his hold. My heart was pou

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE
JASMINE“Hurry up with those pancakes, goddamnit!” my manager, Silas, yelled at the top of his lungs, startling me. I wiped away sweat-soaked strands of hair stuck to my forehead and quickly flipped over the last pancake on the griddle before dishing them onto the plates scattered on the counter. Then I balanced all six plates in my arms and rushed out to the tables. “You’re so damn clumsy this morning,” Silas hissed when I rushed back into the kitchen to pick up the napkins I’d forgotten. “I’m sorry,” I muttered, lowering my head. I didn’t bother telling him my brain was foggy and my bones aching from scrubbing toilets all night. Getting fired was the last thing I needed right now. Not when my grandmother was dying in the hospital. “Get out of my sight,” he finally hissed. I apologized once again and rushed to the back room to catch my breath. My legs were aching so badly I had to hold onto the wall to keep from slipping to the floor. “Get it together, Jas,” I breathed into th
