MR. BILLIONAIRE’S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE 50
FABIOLA. “Why do you think that I like you?” I looked ahead at the professor, my cheeks heating up in embarrassment. “Because I’m no dummy,” he voiced. I gave him a proper look, finding it hard to break the news that I wasn’t a fan girl of his anymore. “And why do you like me?”That question was the bomb. My heart palpitated as I waited for a response.“What’s there not to like Fab, and why are you responding to my questions with more questions?”“And that should be all!” Sulzman interrupted the dreadful conversation. “The history of Norelin runs deeper than you think. I would be waiting for more research; that is your first assignment for this class.”“He throws assignments whenever he doesn’t have answers to questions.” Lan let me know and that was all he said before he rose from the seat. He was obviously mad, but about what? He wants me to tell Tobias I have a crush on him. Why?In the back seat of the car, on my drive home; I scrolled through the internet and came across Ro

FABIOLA.I scrolled through my laptop, searching for an extra course to help increase my credits. I needed good credits to maintain my scholarship. Then it hit me that I didn't have to work hard for my scholarship anymore. Even if I lose credits, my debit card could cover the bills.One of the advantages of being a captive of the Hawkeyes. Money. Speaking of cards, I searched for the purse I took to the Hawkeyes two nights ago. When I found it, I carefully pulled out the card, as if it were heavy. I struggled to read what was written on it without my glasses. I was mad at Tobias. He was mad at me too, so I couldn’t possibly bring this up to him at this moment. I carefully shoved it into my journal and went to stand before the mirror, letting my hair down. “Today is going to be great,” I said to myself, picking up my monster purse. I was about to pick up the book I was reading from the table to put in my purse, but I remembered Tobias bought it, so I left it. I needed to be mad at

TOBIAS. To my own good fortune, she said nothing else; she turned on her heel and left, slamming the door as if she wanted to knock me down. She was angry and so was I. I didn’t get a wink of sleep all night. I just pretended to stare at the plot Ace sent me, while my mind wandered to my livid little wife; who told me she didn’t like it when I touched her. I was certain I didn't lose my game. I was just thirty-six. Yet her saying that bruised my ego. Would she have liked it better if it was Lan? No. Why was my brain including Lan in this? My situation just got worse. Of course I wasn’t dumb; they saw each other almost every day at that stupid campus and the way he spoke about her the other day; I gathered they were very acquainted.I slammed the laptop shut and twirled around on the swivel chair. No one, I mean no one; has had me this worked up in a while. Once it was dawn, I checked in on Ace to see if he was still in town before grabbing my keys. I drove through the snowy m

TOBIAS. She couldn’t take me; she was young and fragile for the kind of needs she was igniting in me. I would break her if I let myself loose. “What do you mean?” She asked, her hips shifting mistakenly on my hardness, causing me to hiss. This little girl.One thing was sure, I wasn’t going to have sex. I already broke my celibacy journey so I couldn’t afford to fold even more. I wouldn’t do it with her, although every fiber in me wanted to; I wanted her. I didn’t have words to respond to her questions, just actions, so I went for her lips again. We kissed all the way through the ride, and I didn’t get enough; instead, I was dying for more whenever we kissed. When the car came to a stop she slipped down my lap and her absence was immediately felt. “Follow me,” My voice was audible to her only. This isn’t what I should be doing. I accepted my father’s invitation just to read the room, to know what to expect and I did that. I perceived war. I was supposed to be plotting, not gett

TOBIAS. The instant I stepped out of the room Tobias asked that we leave. I slipped the card his father had given me into my purse. I didn’t know why I was sneaking it around because I was eventually going to tell him about it, but I didn’t know how to begin. I sat beside him in the moving car as he scrolled through an iPad, an awful silence sitting with us in the car. He already looked angry; how would I tell him this? “Your father, he doesn’t look like he’ll die soon,” I decided to begin with that. “At least not to me.”“Unfortunately.” He didn’t lift his head from the screen. “Your mother,” I continued, shifting in my sitting position. “She spoke like he was going to die real soon.”“That’s because he is,” he looked me straight in the eyes. “She’s going to kill him.”I swallowed thickly as I held his gaze for a few seconds. He exhaled and looked away from me, reclining into the car seat. “Don’t bother your little with this family business.”How could I do that when I had a car

FABIOLA. Tobias strolled out like he didn’t just attack his brother-in-law with a glass filled with wine. “You can’t go in together.” Mrs Hawkeye obviously didn’t care about their little fight.Tobias ignored her and led the way, with me tailing behind him. Walking through the hallway that had walls like mirrors, I looked around the paradise in awe. Just how much money went into this house?The guard at the door repeated. “Two people can’t go in there.”What was I going in there to do in the first place? I couldn’t help but wonder. Tobias texted on his phone and in a few seconds Cane showed up in the hallway; then Tobias turned to me. “One minute,” he muttered before entering the room. He had to get Cane to watch over me. Says a lot about his trust issues. He walked into the room and shut the door and I stood there, beside Cane, quiet. He stayed in for more than a minute but he was quick. “You can go in.” The grumpy man guarding the door said the minute Tobias stepped out. I
