I left the study and walked back to the gym after ending the call. To say I was in disbelief was an understatement.

I knew Gary was evil—he killed my mother—but not to the point of wanting to eliminate Astrid. But he ended up killing my child.

Yeah, he never liked her from the start. He even told me to break up with her and date someone “in my league.” But framing her and then killing her? That was the last thing I expected.

Now I couldn't stop wondering why he killed my mum. Did she know something? Did she threaten to expose him? He must’ve seen her as a threat. That’s why he got rid of her.

I pushed the gym door open and saw Astrid sitting motionless on the floor, her gaze empty, tears streaking her face. I squatted in front of her without saying anything.

My chest tightened with every second that passed. How did we end up here?

How would she react when she found out my father was behind the death of our child... behind the scar on her wrist... behind everything that broug

  • A Substitute Bride For Mr. Voss   Roses

    Astrid The next few days passed by quickly, and it was fun. So much fun. Adrian became my tour guide, and we explored so many places in England and, of course, with me properly wrapped in layers of clothing to keep me warm. Not like I’m complaining. “You’re really not telling me where we’re going next?” I asked, hooking my hand around Adrian’s arm as we sat in a cab, driving to God knows where. He hummed, glanced at me, and gave a small smile that seemed almost shy. It was sweet. “I can’t convince you to tell me?” I asked, making my voice sultry and sweet. I scooted closer to him, and he narrowed his eyes at me. “Nope. And no, don’t do what it is you have in mind,” he said, and I chuckled before rubbing the beard that was beginning to grow on his chin. “I have nothing in mind,” I muttered, meeting his eyes, and he raised a lazy brow at me that said otherwise. I laughed. “Well, yeah, I do have a couple of ideas in convincing you,” I said, and he opened his mouth to speak

  • A Substitute Bride For Mr. Voss   His World

    ~Adrian~“What do you want for dinner?” I asked, turning the heat up a notch as Astrid sat in front of the fireplace she’d lit after we came inside.She hummed, folding her legs under her on the chair.“I’m not hungry.”I glanced at her and rolled up my sleeves.“And I’m supposed to believe that?”Her eyes flicked to mine. Even from where I stood, I could see the flames reflected in them.“Yeah.”She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. I shook my head and headed toward the kitchen.“I’ll make some eggs. For later, if you get hungry.”I heard her shifting before she called out softly.“That’d be nice. Thank you.”Silence followed, though a million thoughts crowded my mind.I’d always known England was Astrid’s dream country. That’s why I thought—no, knew—that proposing to her here would be magical. Freya had agreed when I told her. It was bound to happen soon. Her family would be flying in—without Astrid knowing. But for now, I just wanted her to enjoy herself, without pressure.

  • A Substitute Bride For Mr. Voss   Snow

    ~Astrid~I had no idea how Adrian managed it, but we were in England within two days, and goodness—it was snowy.I’d never been more excited about anything in my whole life. Tugging at his arm, I pointed at a car half-covered in snow as he pulled keys from his pocket and unlocked a door.Well, he’d said we weren’t going to stay at a hotel, and then he went all out and rented a summer house sitting pretty by the side of the road.It was nice. And the thought of having him all to myself for the next few days was thrilling. Okay, yeah—a lot of things thrilled me.He hummed, glanced down at me, then followed the direction I was pointing. He raised a brow. I giggled.“Do you think we can maybe catch some snow later?” I asked.He pressed his lips together before dropping his eyes to mine. Those pretty brown eyes, framed by lashes far too long for a man—if you ask me.“No, we can’t,” he said, adjusting the coat around me before pushing the door open and holding it out for me.I pursed my lip

  • A Substitute Bride For Mr. Voss   I love you

    Astrid“Right there, huh?” His voice was husky, a whisper right above me. I arched my back, my eyes drifting closed as my lips parted.His finger rubbed circles on my clit while teasing my entrance. Probably wondering how we got here.We’d gone for lunch as he’d suggested, and heaven knows I’d wanted something other than food. He had stared at me like he knew what I wanted and was going to give it to me—just like he was right now.“Be a good girl, yeah?” he continued, propping himself higher so he could hold my gaze while his finger worked magic down there.“Please.” My voice came out as a broken whisper, just like I’d been begging for the past ten minutes. He was a tease, and it fucking drove me crazy.“Hm.” He hummed, dipped his head, and slipped one of my very hard nipples into his mouth. I wrapped my arms around him, pulling him closer.God, this was torture.“Adrian,” I breathed, feeling my orgasm just around the corner. But I knew he’d slow down again, drag it out until the tide

  • A Substitute Bride For Mr. Voss   Proposal

    AdrianShe pulled back and stared at me, her eyes searching my face. Fear and panic swam in those beautiful blue eyes.I cupped her face with one hand, my thumb ghosting along her cheek, close to her lips.“You’re here,” she whispered.I nodded, a small smile tugging at my mouth as my gaze traced the outline of her face—the delicate curve of her jaw, the strands of hair framing it.She was breathtaking.“Is Maya in?” I asked.She glanced behind her, then shook her head, licking her lips.“No, she’s not. I just got here,” she mumbled.I pursed my lips and nodded. She gave me that look again—like she was bracing herself.“Do I have to talk to Joan to convince Aaron? Maybe she’d have a better shot than us. I mean, she’s—”I shook my head, smiling gently. Her concern was sweet, almost too much. She had nothing to worry about.Her face fell, expression clouding.“So…” her voice cracked as she blinked rapidly. I rubbed her cheek with my thumb. “You lost your job?”I drew back, brows knittin

  • A Substitute Bride For Mr. Voss   Finality

    AstridHe was gone half the day. I stayed at the house a couple more hours before I eventually left and drove to Mum’s.I knocked on the door, holding the small bag I’d brought along, waiting for her to open it. Freya did.“Hey, sis,” she grinned, pulling me into a hug before stepping back and opening the door wider. I stepped inside, glancing around.“Where’s Mum?” I asked as she followed behind me.“She’s at work. It’s her shift,” she muttered, and I hummed before walking to the couch and sitting down.Weirdly, it didn’t feel like I belonged here anymore.Adrian’s house felt more like home. Not because I hated Mum or Freya—but because I’d found home in someone. Yeah, I was going to leave, but after talking things out with him, I felt lighter.I didn’t feel judged. I felt… seen.Freya had come back home after everything happened. Mum needed help, and me moving back in made things a lot. So yeah—we kind of needed her around. Our relationship with Mum wasn’t the same anymore—it probabl
