His Substitute Bride 017
North’s POVFinally, I could finally return home after a long day at work. Kora and I had been working non stop to make sure we delivered high quality services.Though I was tired, I couldn't stop thinking about the potential clients I was going to meet at the event. The thought made my lips break into a bright smile as I hugged myself tightly. For more than three minutes, I stood in front of the door, typing in my password into the key lock but it wouldn't budge.Just when I was going to call the estate security, I remembered I wasn't in my apartment anymore. Rolling my eyes to the back of my head, I pulled out my phone and then carefully inputted his password he had sent to me a while ago. Pushing the door open, the familiar scent of his expensive cologne lingered faintly in the air, but there was no sign of him. The lights in the hallway were still on, he probably forgot to turn them off again but otherwise, the place was as still as a tomb.“He shouldn't return anytime soon,

Finn’s POVThe glass was sweating in my hand but the rim was cold against my fingers. I swirled what was left of my whiskey as the ice clinked against the glass like a pendulum bob.On my right was Raiden, my best friend. I had sounded serious while I was telling him what went down between me and North this morning but he found it funny and had been laughing non stop. Right now, the only thought ringing in my head was to push him off the stool. "You seriously said that?" He finally said, a glint of amusement in his eyes. He was holding his side which was probably aching from laughing too much. "You performed your own part of the bargain and you expected a thank you? For doing your job?" he laughed again.Shooting him a glare, I rolled my eyes. "Just spelling out the two words wouldn't hurt her. She should be grateful I played my part." I huffed, sipping from my glass. "Come on, Finn. You signed a contract. She's not going to kiss your boots for it.""I don’t want her to kiss my b

North's POVEven in my wildest imagination, I wouldn't have thought of this.For more than a minute, I stood there completely frozen, as I kept staring at the last person I was expecting to see behind the door. My mother, Jade Kennedy. The gaze mother was giving me made my inside twist as fear enveloped my whole body. I felt my bones cracking as she wasn't making any move to break from the glare even.“Girly, is there an issue over there?" Kora asked from the middle of the office. “Not at all." I replied, flashing mom a bright smile but instead, she rolled her eyes, shoving me aside. "You have got to be kidding me," she hissed as she stepped inside the office like she owned the place.“Who is…” Kora left her words hanging as she turned to face mother. Chuckling, Kora waved at mom, “You're welcome to our office, should I get you coffee.” "No, I'm fine.” Nodding, Kora waddled her way towards the door and before I could stop her, she said, "I have to check in at the front desk.”T

North’s POV Though I was surprised to be receiving a call from Liam this morning, I still decided to receive the call. “Please excuse me." I said to Kora as I stepped out of the office, my phone pressed against my ear."Hey, North." Liam chirped like we were old time friends doing some catching up. “Hey," I replied, unsure of what to say as my eyes darted around the stairs I was leaning against. “I was just checking in. How was the trip?" He asked."It went well.” I replied, leaning against the wall this time as I stared at the vending machine at the end of the corridor. “So what are you doing right now? Are you busy?" He asked, eliciting a sharp nod from me.“Finn helped me secure a contract so I'm drafting out my first plan.” I replied, twirling my hair around my finger, a smile tingling the side of my lips."That’s my girl, I know you are going to give a top notch service." There was a smile in his voice which I didn't miss. "Do you think we can catch up later this week? Mayb

North’s POVIt took all that I had not to jump out of my skin in excitement and pull Finn into a hug when he handed me the contract. The advert had been popping on my screen each time I surfed for an event but no matter how many proposals I sent to the event planner in charge, my request was always ignored.But now, I got the contract even without trying. After stepping out of his car, I walked briskly into the building and the moment I was out of eyesight, I leapt into the air in excitement. Pulling the contact out of my bag, I went through it over and over again like it was going to fizzle out. “This is perfect." I mouthed, my heart beating rapidly. “If I can keep getting these contracts each weekend, within six months, I should be well known." I mumbled, hugging the document. Taking a deep breath, I pushed the document into my purse and with a well calculated movement, I headed towards the elevator. The moment I stepped into my office, Kora jumped on me like her life depende
His Substitute Bride 012
Finn’s POVIt was getting harder to pretend I didn’t care.North had always had that effect on me. Her sharp tongue, impossible eyes, and a mouth that could curse me out in five languages if I pushed the right buttons. But under that fire was someone I used to know. Someone who used to reach for me in the dark and hold on like I was her entire world.But now?Now she barely looked at me without a hint of anger and resentment in her voice. And the worst part was I still wanted her even after everything.If I had one wish that could be granted immediately, it would be turning our fake marriage into a real one. But North had no intention of letting me in. Every time I got close, she shoved me back like the idea of loving me again made her skin crawl.And maybe I deserved it but it still burned.Thanks to her, David Langston had offered me the contract on a platter. I wasn't going to tell her but I was going to repay her for keeping our pictures which came handy at this critical time.
