Billionaire's Substitute Bride and Her Secret Child Chapter 46
Within the opulent confines of the Smart Home where Hunter resided, Elenora was giving instructions to the servants to fetch her a bottle of the loftiest and most expensive champagne. She decided that today was an occasion worth celebrating, a day that marked the final chapter of having Christine in her life. FOREVER. "Mommy, what's got you in such a good mood?" Martha inquired, her face etched with confusion. In Martha's perspective, there wasn't anything to celebrate. Quite the opposite, in fact. Their company was on the brink of declaring bankruptcy, and Hunter was seemingly infatuated with Christine. Martha could even risk losing her alimony. So, what on earth was there to celebrate? 'Is Mommy going crazy? She is surely acting this way,' Martha pondered, observing her mother's seemingly inexplicable joy. Elenora, however, continued to bask in her own secretive triumph, ignoring her daughter's bemusement. Even though she was essentially exploiting Martha for her own gains, she w

Ethan was desperate to find his mother, but with her phone turned off, he was at a loss. His brain raced, searching for an alternative solution. Then it struck him. 'Of course! If that malicious woman did something bad to my Mommy, she must have left some kind of trail on her phone!' Emboldened by this newfound idea, Ethan swiftly hacked into Elenora's phone, uncovering a series of chilling text messages between her and a man named 'Markus'. As he scrolled through the incriminating messages, all color drained from his face. The information confirmed the grim possibility that his beloved mother was in danger. 'Mommy, I can't live without her. Please, God, let her be safe, I beg you. I promise I'll be a good boy, and I'll never ask you for anything else again!' A wave of sheer terror washed over him, obscuring his thoughts as he imagined the worst possible scenarios. His blood ran cold, his body trembling, tears streaming down his young cheeks. His mother was his world, the thought o

For Elenora, the waiting morphed into a torment of the worst kind, testing her patience with each ticking minute. How much longer was it going to take to receive the much-anticipated update from Markus? Surely, he should have wrapped up the task by this time. Elenora had battled her share of struggles throughout life, and it was about time the gods bestowed her with a favor. Eliminating Christine from her life was something she had contemplated over many restless nights, and perhaps, she should have acted upon it years ago. Her misguided kindness had only brought her grief, and she was now at the mercy of her defiant stepdaughter's threats. Her nerves felt like they were straining against their bindings, ready to snap any moment. Why wasn’t the much-awaited good news from Markus gracing her phone screen? The nagging doubt wormed its way into her thoughts, 'Could something have gone wrong? Surely not?' Martha's voice, cutting through her internal monologue, startled her. “Why are you

Ethan was patiently waiting for his mother's return home. He had cleverly tracked her phone to the police station, so he was reassured of her safety, but he yearned to see her with his own eyes. His mother was his world, the most precious treasure he had, his only one. His love for her was unparalleled, incomparable to any other affection he could ever feel. "Mommy, I was waiting for you! What took you so long?" He rushed to her side, nearly desperate, the moment she stepped through the front door. Eagerly, he wrapped his small, but firm hands around her legs, clinging tightly to her, resting his head against them, and remained that way for a seemingly eternal moment. The heavy burden in Christine's heart felt even heavier. The longing to see her son after the harrowing incident was intense. She had been counting the seconds until she could return home to him. "I lost track of time while at the gym, my darling. I'm sorry!" She responded, masking the truth with a believable excuse.

Adorned in an alluring summer dress of olive hue, a belt accentuating her slender waist, Martha appeared both comfortable and chic. The fashionable outfit cast an air of confidence on its wearer. It was regrettable, however, that she was too insecure to acknowledge it. Many of her issues could have been mitigated, or perhaps would not have arisen at all, if she could only recognize her own value. Christine had always acknowledged Martha’s beauty, yet her own mother had infiltrated her thoughts so deeply, manipulating her as if she were a puppet. The stepsisters shared fleeting moments in the distant past when they got along rather well. They could have been friends, if not for the poisonous influence of a covetous, spiteful woman named Elenora who disrupted what might have become a genuine bond. Hunter started to feel agitated; he understood the importance Ethan placed on his classmates believing he was the boy’s father. Was Martha doing this intentionally? No, he couldn’t accept
Billionaire's Substitute Bride and Her Secret Child Chapter 51
Martha felt a lump forming in her throat as she fixed her gaze on the tablet’s screen. She had long accepted that her mother was without any sort of principles, but orchestrating such an act was well beyond anything she could have ever anticipated. Despite her mother's disgraceful actions, Martha's deep-seated animosity towards her stepsister remained strong. Thus, for the moment, her annoyance was aimed at the hitman who, for reasons she couldn't fathom, had failed. Had he not been promised a million dollars for his service? And where had her mother managed to procure such a sum? ‘Could this be why mother was celebrating the other day? But why would she have reveled prematurely, without knowing for certain that the hitman had accomplished his task?’ "Miss Martha, who is this charming little boy?" A reporter, a woman in her mid-thirties with a bob haircut, asked with an intrigued smile on her face. "You two seem quite close, is he a part of your family?" Chimed in another journalis

‘It’s probably enough for today,’ Christine told herself, as she assessed the situation and the growing restlessness of the children. “We’re getting hungry, when can we eat?” The plaintive voice of one of the children echoed. “I need to use the bathroom,” complained another, shuffling uncomfortably. “I must call my parents.” The voice of a slightly older child cut through the murmur. The kids were, rightfully, starting to grumble, expressing their basic needs. Addressing the crowd of reporters, she spoke in a soft, respectful tone, “This is an educational camping trip for the children, and I believe you’ve gathered sufficient footage at this location. It would be beneficial for us to start our planned activities now. So, if you could kindly wrap up your reporting for the day, we would greatly appreciate it.” Her words were gentle, politely brushing off their intrusive presence,

After skillfully dodging the bullet from Martha’s gun, Christine was on the verge of self-sabotaging. Why was she feeling so nervous that she momentarily lost sight of why she was there in the first place? Was the thought of sharing a tent with Hunter so unnerving that her son's well-being — the core reason for her presence — simply slipped from her mind? "It just seemed rather cramped, that's all," she said in a light, casual tone to mask her unease. "The arrangement was also booked by the school as part of the educational experience. Just as the children are learning to spend time away from the comforts of home, the chaperoning parents should, naturally, lead by example," the manager explained, still somewhat perplexed by her initial reaction. "Of course, you're absolutely right," Christine agreed. "I must be too tired to think straight." "If everything is settled, I'll take my leave," the manager said. "Tomorrow is going to be another full day for all of us." "Of course, we und
