“What are you doing here?” I asked, and he smirked.

“Oh, look who’s in a hospital bed now,” he said with a grin.

I blinked at him. Wait…

“Did you have something to do with my accident?” My voice tightened.

He pursed his lips, dragging out the chair and sitting down next to my bedside. My eyes darted to the door again. Seriously, Adrian?

“Well, you figured that out pretty fast,” he said with a slow tilt of his head.

“Don’t get too comfortable,” I said, trying to sound calm. “My man will be through that door any second—and it won’t be pretty.”

He laughed and leaned back in his chair, completely at ease.

It rubbed me the wrong way. He was too… carefree. Too relaxed.

“That’s if he returns in one piece,” he said flatly.

My brows drew together. Something in his tone made me perk up. “What did you do to him?” I asked through gritted teeth.

He shrugged. “Nothing much. Just had some men ram into his car. He’s probably dead by now.”

A cold shiver ran down my spine. He was joking, right

  • A Substitute Bride For Mr. Voss   Virexol-9

    ♤Adrian♤I glanced in the rearview mirror, turning into a side street as I put Axel on call. He picked up almost immediately.“Send some men to the hospital to protect my wife. A couple of cars are tailing me, and I’ve got a bad feeling she’s not safe,” I said, my grip tightening on the steering wheel. I sped up, eyes flicking between the road and the mirror as one of the black vans attempted to overtake me.I quickly swerved into its lane, narrowly avoiding a collision.“Goddamn it,” I muttered under my breath.“Yes, sir. Do you need backup?” Axel’s voice carried a note of urgency.“Go get my fucking wife,” I snapped before ending the call. These bastards timed this too perfectly.I didn’t know why they were following me, but something felt off—seriously off. And knowing Astrid was alone at the hospital made it worse. Her breakfast still sat on the back seat, untouched. I’d planned to deliver it, but then I noticed the cars tailing me.I slammed on the brakes, then refocused. I kne

  • A Substitute Bride For Mr. Voss   Unexpected Visitor

    ♡Astrid♡I woke up with a start as the door bang open. I held my breath...waiting.Adrian rushed in, eyes darting around. His expression was wild and for the first time since we started this sham, I could see full blown panic in his eyes and fuck me, if that didn't make me start panicking.What the fuck was going on?His eyes settled on me. They roamed me so quick before he covered the steps to my bedside. I tried sitting up so I could look at him properly. "Are you okay?" He asked and I gave a short nod, a little confused myself. He tipped his head back and drew a deep breath."Oh Goodness," he whispered, before perching on the seat taking my hand in his. I stared at him, confused now more than ever.Okay? What the hell was happening?"Are 'you' okay?" I asked and he nodded, brown eyes meeting mine. The panic was still there but it was under control now.He licked his lips."Overheard nurse saying the patient in room 527 was having a seizure. Was it a false alarm?" He asked quietly

  • A Substitute Bride For Mr. Voss   Room 527

    ♤Adrian♤ We stayed up for a long while doing nothing. While Astrid tried to rest, I busied myself with some work on my phone. It wasn’t like I was going to get any sleep anyway. Astrid shifted slightly on the bed and cleared her throat. "Aren't you going home? It's getting late," she asked, and I shook my head without raising my eyes from the screen. "No," I said. My voice came out a little dry. "Why? It won't be comfortable to sleep in here. The bed is small, and the chair would be—" "Are you trying to get rid of me, Blythe?" I asked, finally looking up from my phone to meet her eyes. She raised a brow. "I'm just stating facts," she shot back, and I sighed. "I'll manage. Just go to sleep," I muttered, shutting off my phone and staring at nothing in particular. My gaze fell on the only chair in the room. That would be my bed tonight. I didn’t mind. I’d slept in worse. She sighed again and tried to sit up as much as she could. "I haven’t gotten the chance to ask... The drive

  • A Substitute Bride For Mr. Voss   Suspicion

    ♤Adrian ♤ I stepped out of the room after a couple of hours to get food for Astrid, who had fallen asleep. My phone buzzed in my pocket, and I slowed down before reaching for it. I stared down at the caller ID for a second, debating whether to pick up or let it go to voicemail like I usually did. But no—if Gary was calling me, it could only mean one thing. He had something to say. He hadn't reached out to me since we ran into each other at the restaurant. Even though I was slightly suspicious of his silence, I didn’t have enough proof to confront him. I picked up and brought the phone to my ear. There was a brief silence. "Adrian," he finally said, and I frowned. "Why are you calling?" I asked, and he chuckled. "I'm surprised you picked up. Saved me the trouble of coming to you directly," he said, and I pressed my lips together. "The Dela-Rosas are coming to town with their daughter, Allison," he said, and I narrowed my eyes. "And you're telling me this because?" I asked, alr

  • A Substitute Bride For Mr. Voss   A Cast

    ♡Astrid♡ God, my whole fucking body ached —so bad. My lashes fluttered and I pried my eyes open, looking around the room. The beeping of a machine made me realize I was, in fact, in the hospital. I squinted my eyes trying to recall what had happened, and then it all came rushing back. The squeal of tires, the gasps, the pain... An accident. The last thing I wanted was to get into an accident and be bedridden. I tried sitting up, but pain exploded in my back. I laid back then and glanced around the room again. No one was here, not even a nurse —or Adrian. I tried moving my legs and realized one of them was in a cast. My eyes stung and I blinked back a couple of times before staring at the ceiling. No one was coming for me, right? The door opened, and a nurse walked in; I just stared at her, saying nothing. She said nothing either, quickly moving to my side. My eyes followed her and then darted to the door before returning to her and... I returned my gaze to the door, watchin

  • A Substitute Bride For Mr. Voss   The Truth

    ♤Adrian♤A knock came on the door and I looked up from the files I was buried in. After the meeting, I decided to stay back for some hours and sort out a few things that needed my attention."Come in," I muttered, and the knob turned. Axel walked in. I sat up a little straighter.He had a tablet in his hands, and my eyes fell on them almost immediately.I flipped through the pages of the files, trying to act casual as though I wasn’t fucking curious—I was. Curious as hell about what he’d come here for and what he had to say."So, about what you asked me to look into this morning," he started, and I gave a curt nod, raising a brow."Yeah?""She was pretty easy to look into. Background and everything," he said, drawing out the seat in front of my desk and settling in like he owned the space."What did you find?" I asked, glancing at my wristwatch. A couple of minutes past 1."From recent records, turns out she's married," he said. I raised my eyes to meet his. He gave me a knowing look.

  • A Substitute Bride For Mr. Voss   Accident

    ♡Astrid♡Once Adrian left the house, I went back into my room, freshened up, and left. I had a meeting with Jason, the head of Aaron’s rival company.We’d met at the gala, and he was the only one who could help me get even with Adrian. All I had was a month and a half.Sleeping with Adrian would just be the icing on the cake. I didn’t want anything to do with him afterward—I was sure of it.My phone rang as I stepped outside. I reached for it inside my bag and stared down at the caller. It was Nora."Yeah?" I said as I picked up. There was a brief pause on the other end."Ash, you're needed at the office," she said quietly, and I stopped walking. From her voice, I could tell something was wrong.I hadn’t been around the office much lately, especially with the news going around—which, yeah, was true, but they didn’t know that. Nora had been handling things well.If she was calling me in, it meant something had happened—something she couldn’t handle. And if Nora couldn’t handle it, it w

    ♤Adrian♤"You got him?" I asked, tucking the phone between my shoulder and neck while buttoning my shirt."He gave a fake signal. He was never really going to Washington," Axel said.I froze, my hand still on the last button.What?"How the fuck did he pull that off?" I muttered, irritation flaring. Derrick playing me was the last thing I needed right now.I had enough to deal with. My wife, for one. We’d crossed a line last night—one we couldn’t uncross.And now, she was my next puzzle. Something wasn’t right. After our breakup, something happened. I didn’t know what, and it was eating at me.There’s a scar under her wrist. What put it there? What did Maya mean when she said Astrid almost died? Why did Astrid shut down when I asked about the past?No one was going to hand me the answers. I’d have to dig them out myself. And this time, I would.A sound. I looked up. Astrid stood at the top of the staircase, head tilted slightly.Our eyes locked. I straightened, pulling the phone from
