Substitute Bride

Camilla is forced to marry Arthur Bellingham, one of New York's wealthiest billionaires, but as an imposter. He's cold, hard and everything she hated in a man. On their first night, she even came up with excuses not to consummate the marriage; but the more time they spent together, the more she saw a different side of him the world was yet to see… Arthur's world is complicated and shrouded in secrets but one thing remained certain to him…he was in love with his wife, Pamela, and had always been in love with her. Only that he isn't married to Pamela, but to her identical twin sister. It's all roses for him until things begin to grow inconsistent. She's allergic to nuts which she loved and she was an introvert. What's worse—a virgin—when they've been together sexually once before. Yet, his heart is drawn to her. It's not just the inconsistencies but also the workings of an enemy who threatens his perfection. Marriage that sets him on edge. Camilla on the other hand, is torn between her deceit and her growing affection for her sister's proposed husband. What happens when the veil of deception is torn apart and the real bride resurfaces? Will Arthur abandon his love and will Camilla abandon her castle? A thrilling tale of deception and redemption.

The Perfect Twin
~ CAMILLAThe white dress mocked me from where it hung on the door.I had been staring at it for ten minutes now, watching how the afternoon light caught the intricate beading along the bodice. Bella Wright, my mother, had been very particular when she picked out the dress worth a lot of money. As if the price tag could make me feel differently about the dress and the entire situation.My phone buzzed for the fifteenth time in the last hour. I didn't need to check it to know it was her who had been calling. The wedding was supposed to start twenty minutes ago, and Pamela, my identical twin sister and the actual bride, was nowhere to be found.I pressed my palm against the cool glass of Pamela's apartment window and looked down at the street below. Manhattan moved at its usual frantic pace, oblivious to the disaster unfolding in this luxury high-rise. Yellow cabs honked at pedestrians who think they own the crosswalk. A street vendor argued with someone over the price of a hot dog. Lif

The Imposter
~CAMILLAThe ceremony passed in fragments, like a dream I was having where I was living someone else's life.Arthur's hand was warm when he took mine at the altar, but his eyes were distant. The officiant talked about love and partnership and forever, words that felt obscene given the circumstances. I repeated vows that meant nothing because they weren't meant for me.When Arthur said "I do," his voice was steady and completely emotionless.When I said the same words, I sounded like I was confessing to a crime.The kiss was brief, professional. His lips barely touched mine before he pulled away, and I caught something flash across his face like confusion? Suspicion? But then it was gone, quickly replaced by that same cold mask."Ladies and gentlemen," the officiant announced, "I present to you Mr. and Mrs. Bellingham."The guests applauded. The corners of my lips lifted in a smile because that's what brides do on their wedding day. And Arthur led me back down the aisle with his hand o

Morning At The Bellingham Mansion
~CAMILLAI woke up alone in a bed that was bigger than my entire apartment back home, still wearing yesterday's wedding dress like some kind of deranged Cinderella.Sunlight poured through windows I forgot to close last night, and for a brief, beautiful moment, I thought maybe everything was a nightmare. Maybe I was still in my apartment in Brooklyn, and Pamela was safe, and I didn't just marry a stranger while pretending to be my twin sister.Then I saw the ring on my finger. Heavy, expensive, absolutely real.My phone was still buried in the drawer where I left it. I considered leaving it there, considering pretending the threatening messages didn't exist, but that wasn't going to make them disappear.Two new messages from the unknown number: Did Arthur enjoy his wedding night? You looked beautiful in white. Lies suit you.My hands were shaking so badly I almost dropped the phone.Someone was watching me. Someone who knew exactly what was going on and they

A Stranger Watching The Imposter
Camilla:I stood motionless alone in the spacious ornate hall like a statue, my mind already imagining the chaos I'd cause when I stepped out with Arthur again. I remained frozen longer than I could explain.SoHo. The name echoed in my head, the terror of having dinner alone with Arthur playing in my mind like a disc on repeat. I've never been there, but my sister has, and she enjoyed such moments.I spent the remaining hours hoping it would never turn to evening, but time slipped past relentlessly as if plotting my downfall.The dozens of rooms made it hard to find my way back to the bedroom but I managed. As soon as I locked the room, I went straight to the closet that was supposedly meant for my sister. My eyes darted from the expensive clothing with ornate designs that I found unnecessary or useless to the ones carefully folded in lines of clean heaps, hoping to find something quite dull or nude. Something that wasn't overly fashionable but none. And Arthur had personally told me

Walking A Tightrope With No Safety Net
~Author's POV “Pamela?”Camilla froze, holding her breath. Her twin sister's name was like a death sentence to her ears. She quickly turned off her phone and lifted her gaze.The golden emission from the crystal chandeliers caught Arthur's imposing figure as he stood across the table in the opulent restaurant. From his black hair perfectly styled in waves to his fitted shirt: his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing muscled arms, and his open collar buttons flaunting a hairy chest, his commanding aura carried easily through the space, almost snatching her already ragged breath completely.The lights caught his hazel eyes making them shimmer dangerously while studying her. “A‐Arthur,” The name aired from her lips before she could stop herself.His gaze swept over her like ice, sending a chill down her spine.“You look stunning as always,”“T-thank you,” She murmured, hoping her voice didn't quiver and quickly masked her agitation with a smile that felt awkward enough.Arthur d

A Truth That Ruined The Dinner
~Camilla: “Camilla?!” I flinched hard, my pulse racing like a live wire. Holding my breath, my wide eyes snapped toward the direction of whoever had said my name. My eyes flashed with fluid nervous motion across space catching a tall stunning young lady in an exquisite evening gown approaching with a smile that made my stomach churn. She wasn't familiar to me. My breath caught instantly.The lady's long hair gleamed gold under crystal chandeliers.Arthur followed my bewildered gaze to the approaching lady from behind and his scowl deepened.Bathed in golden lights, the opulent restaurant hummed with conversation and hearty laughter, silverware clinking softly against silver plates as high-class customers ate and chanted from different ornate tables. The air was thick with expensive perfumes; customers walking in and out. Crystal glasses clinked softly beneath slow jazz as amber liquid poured in, swirling in delicate fizz—every customer doing their thing, unaware of the rising tensi

An Imposter Trapped In The Ruthless Man's Mansion
~Camilla:Thick silence stretched between us for a long while before he finally lifted his gaze to look at me with a cold intensity that made my heart skip several beats.“When we get home,” he began gruffly. “You're explaining what the hell happened at that fuckin restaurant. Understood?”I nodded stiffly, tears gleaming in my eyes.The SUV glided through private gates and curved smoothly into the marble-lined driveway leading to the Bellingham's penthouse, and my pulse began to hammer in my eardrums. The penthouse was now a place I dreaded.The engine died in the garage flooded with luxurious cars—all rare models that seemed invented for only the people rolling in the dough. I was halfway out of the car when my heel wobbled, making me stumble as my ankle twisted painfully. I winced, my body almost hitting the door but Arthur caught me with an otherworldly speed, his grip careful but firm. Still holding my upper arm, he stepped elegantly from the car and gently pulled me close until

A Day That Determines Her Fate
~Camilla:Coiled in a ball like a stray mouse on the king-size bed, shivers swirled down my spine as I sniffled continually, my shoulders shaking with quiet sobs. I barely slept last night and have been crying as long as I can recall. I'd cried to the point my head had begun to bang in an excruciating headache.My eyes fluttered open, aching from the morning sunlight filtering through the sheer floor-to-ceiling curtains, spilling muted golds into the room and tracing sharp lines on the luxurious furniture. Still in the exquisite evening gown from yesterday's ruined dinner reservation, I sat up slowly, placing both palms on my head as though anchoring the severe headache that ran my temperature so high that I felt steaming heat at the surface. Birds chirped faintly beyond the panoramic windows, their song muted by the grandeur of the penthouse suite.This was just the third day after my wedding with New York's most brutal billionaire yet every ruin I caused seemed to have been staged a

The Bizarre Painting
Author’s Pov:Bright overhead lights flooded the spacious office, leaving no corner untouched by their sharp glow. The space was sleek, grand, and powerful, with towering windows, steel accents, and dark polished surfaces that overlooked the city beyond.Arthur's polished shoe gleamed under the emission as he placed one leg on his sleek table, his massive figure resting against his seat as he focused on his laptop. He was as polished as always with his hair styled in waves. Enormous muscles flexed under his fitted shirt as he typed in a rapid fluid motion.His gaze snapped at his phone that lay beside the laptop as it chimed several times, notifications popping up at once.“Margaret,” He mumbled, his brows furrowing in a curious frown. His staff never text unless there are emergencies.He picked up the phone without hesitation and dialed her number instead. “What is it?” His voice was deadly calm enough to send tremors down a spine.His furrowed brows deepened as he listened. “My wife

The Crack
~Camilla:My struggle to cover the drawings was to no avail. Arthur spun me around so easily with a firm but gentle grasp on my shoulders, as if I were a leaf. “Shh, look at me, Pamela,” His voice was soft. Too soft—something that sent shivers through my spine. The side of him that contrasted his aloofness in public and was different from the way he'd yelled at me last night.I finally met his gaze while fighting back burning tears.“Oh, look at you, Pamela, my love,” he said with that same intimate tone he'd used at the garage—something only my sister was familiar with.“I'm, sorry, Pamela,” he said softly while his thumbs traced slowly along lines of tears on my face. “I'm truly sorry. I—I never meant to hurt you. I was angry.”He pressed a soft kiss on my forehead and hesitated briefly.“You know it's crazy, Pamela,” he began, his strong arms enveloping my small form. “It's crazy how someone made it look like you're a different person in the same skin…especially the way you seem
