CHAPTER 7

The midnight air was slick with fresh rain, freezing as it soaked through my sweater, but I didn't give a damn.

My feet hurt, my shoulders throbbed under the weight of my bag, but every step taking me further down that winding driveway felt like absolute fucking victory. I was out. I was actually out.

When my shoes finally hit the rough asphalt of the main road, a ragged laugh burst out of my chest. I doubled over for a second, tears blurring my vision as I squeezed my eyes shut. I ma

  • REBIRTH OF THE SUBSTITUTE BRIDE    APPARENTLY I'M NOT CONSIDERED FAMILY TO KADE

    CHAPTER 10I kept my eyes glued to the tiny silver fork by my plate, pressing my knees together under the table so hard they were shaking.Breathe. In. Out. Breathe Rory! Damnit! Do not throw up here.The air in the room was warm, thick, and suffocating with the smell of all the food coming together to irritate me. My throat tightened. A cold coat of sweat broke out across the back of my neck, under my heavy sweater. My thumb was still bleeding from where the sharp ceramic had cut me in the kitchen, so I dug my nail right into the fresh slice. Pain shot up my hand—hot, sharp, and grounding. It was the only thing keeping the nausea from pulling me under."Rory, dear?"Victoria’s voice was sickeningly sweet. I swallowed down the sour heat pooling in the back of my throat and forced myself to look up at her."You're barely touching your food," she said, tilting her head with that fake, soft smile. "Look at you... you look so terribly frail this morning. Are you wearing heavy foundation t

    CHAPTER 9I made it to the kitchen with my heart hammering against my ribs, tge memory of Kade's touch still hunting me.My hands were shaking as I reached for a glass, filling it with tap water and grabbing a piece of dry, stale bread from the counter. My stomach was twisting into tight, painful knots—a nauseating, hollow ache that made my knees feel weak. Just settle down. Please, just hold it together until I get back to my room.I took a tiny, careful bite of the bread, leaning against the marble counter and closing my eyes."Look at you," a voice purred from the doorway.My eyes snapped open. Bella was leaning against the doorframe, her arms crossed over her chest, a slow, toxic smile spreading across her lips. She stepped into the kitchen, her heels clicking against the tile like an off key tune. "Creeping around the kitchen like a literal mouse," she mocked, her voice dripping with lazy disdain as her eyes raked over my oversized sweater and pale face. "Stuffing your face wit

    CHAPTER 8My head felt like it was going to crack open the second I opened my eyes.Every single muscle in my body throbbed from being dragged through the wet gravel, and the entire left side of my face was burning with a dull, sickening heat. I lay flat on my back on the narrow bed, staring at the plain cream ceiling, my throat raw and my eyes swollen dry.I needed to get up, I couldn't wallow in sadness. I needed to be who I needed to be for my baby.Slowly, painfully, I forced myself to sit up, my hands instantly going to my stomach. Are you okay? Please, God, tell me you're still in there.The silence in the room was suffocating, but through the terror and the bruised ribs, my brain was firing on all cylinders. I was back in this hellhole, but I was alive. My baby was alive.My eyes darted over to the small bedside table.That was where I had left my ring and that damn note last night. “The six months are over early. I’m setting you free. Don’t look for me.”The ring was still sit

I was out. I was actually out.When my shoes finally hit the rough asphalt of the main road, a ragged laugh burst out of my chest. I doubled over for a second, tears blurring my vision as I squeezed my eyes shut. I made it.I smoothed my hand flat against my stomach, rubbing in small circles over my soaked sweater. "We're okay," I breathed, my voice cracking in the quiet night. "We're going to be okay, baby. Mommy's got you. I swear I've got you."The highway was right there. Just fifty yards. I could see the glow of distant headlights sweeping through the foggy night. I just needed to reach a gas station, call a cab with cash, find a cheap motel—anything to get us through the night.I took a step forward—A

  • REBIRTH OF THE SUBSTITUTE BRIDE    I CAUGHT HIM CHEATING!

    CHAPTER 6I pressed a hand to my still-flat stomach, tears slipping silently down my cheeks. This baby hadn’t asked for any of this, hadn’t asked to be conceived on a night of drunken mistake and whispered wrong names. They hadn’t asked for a mother who was little more than a ghost in her husband’s mansion or a father who looked at her with nothing but contempt.But he or she was mine.For the first time in months, something fierce and protective ignited in my chest. I wouldn’t let them grow up in this cold, loveless house. I wouldn’t let them be raised as pawns or spares. But before I could make any real plans, I had to do one thing: I had to tell Kade.He deserved to know, even if he hated me. Even if he would see the child as another complication in his perfect business arrangement.I spent the rest of that afternoon pacing my small room, practicing the words in the mirror until my voice stopped shaking. “Kade, I’m pregnant. It’s yours. I’m not asking for anything from you, but y

  • REBIRTH OF THE SUBSTITUTE BRIDE    PREGNANT???

    CHAPTER 5The east wing guest room became my prison. It was smaller than my old room at home, with plain cream walls, a narrow bed, a single armchair, and a window that overlooked the back gardens. The Lannister staff had been given clear instructions: deliver meals to the door, speak only when necessary, and pretend I didn’t exist. I was a ghost in my husband’s house.The first few days blurred together in suffocating silence. I ate alone. I slept alone. I spent hours staring at the ceiling, replaying the wedding night in my mind until shame made my skin crawl. Kade’s voice calling out “Bella” echoed constantly. I was nothing more than a body he had used by mistake.On the fourth day, Bella arrived for her first “visit.”She swept into the mansion like she belonged there, dressed in a soft cream sweater and skirt that made her look innocent and radiant. Victoria greeted her with a forced but practiced smile. From the hallway, I heard Bella’s sweet voice: “I just wanted to check on my
