Seth was on his couch staring at the roof. He could hear Rose crying all night. His eyes were misty with crying. He lifted his palm and looked at the bandage that Rose had tied. He had injured his hand, too, after punching and slapping Piers. Yet his heart was not ready to back down. His whole body was shaking with fury. He wanted to run back to Piers and beat him into a pulp for touching Rose.

He had no idea when he fell asleep. The whole night, he kept dreaming about Rose and how she kept cryi

  • Replacement Bride: His Rose   The Hundred Boxes

    A large army of men dressed in black with shades on had red, green, blue, white, black, whatever colour one can think of boxes in their hands, started walking inside the bakery. One by one, the boxes started piling up in a corner. They would drop the box, pile it up neatly, glance at Rose and walk out.“What… is… happening? Who are you?” asked Rose, but her voice was choked in her throat. But no one replied to her. “Seth! What is this?” asked Rose, grabbing his shirt tightly.“I don’t know. They just asked for you, and then I went to call you after I saw the long line of cars waiting outside,” replied Seth.“Long line of cars?” asked Rose, and she ran to the window to get a better look. A long line of black SUVs and luxury sedans was parked outside.“Are you Miss Rose Woolridge?” asked the man who dropped the last box.“Um… who’s asking?” asked Rose.“Yes, if you want to talk, talk to me,” ordered Seth.“Sir! We were given instructions to only hand this letter to Miss Rose Woolridge,”

  • Replacement Bride: His Rose   The Pitiful Face

    Seth was on his couch staring at the roof. He could hear Rose crying all night. His eyes were misty with crying. He lifted his palm and looked at the bandage that Rose had tied. He had injured his hand, too, after punching and slapping Piers. Yet his heart was not ready to back down. His whole body was shaking with fury. He wanted to run back to Piers and beat him into a pulp for touching Rose.He had no idea when he fell asleep. The whole night, he kept dreaming about Rose and how she kept crying. The morning light streamed inside his house, and he groaned with pain and tiredness. He opened his eyes when he heard the faint humming of his coffee machine and the clinking and clanking of his pots and pans.Rose tried to make as little sound as possible but was failing spectacularly. The cracking and beating of eggs, the sizzling of pans, the opening and closing of the fridge, the whooshing sound of the overhead chimney, everything was irritating Seth.“Will you stop it?” snapped Seth.“O

  • Replacement Bride: His Rose   The ER Room

    Kingsley, Fiona and Emerson were in an embrace. Their guards were at the door, looking in with sweet smiles on their faces. They all loved working for the Aguilar family, for the Cox family, for Dia Lucrii. They were mafia, they committed crimes, no doubt about that, but everyone was treated with respect and love. And they never hurt any innocent people.Everyone’s concentration was broken by the sudden ringing of the phone.“Ohh, busy man!” teased Fiona, and they broke the embrace. Emerson fished his phone out of his pocket and gulped for a second. The phone call he had been dreading came. Lang was calling him. He knew why he was calling him. He glanced at Kingsley; he knew he was going to be so angry. But why? Why was a girl who was a stranger making them care for her? Why do Emerson and Kingsley both want to kill Piers for touching her?“What?” asked Kingsley. “What are you looking at me like that?”“It’s Lang!” said Emerson. And Kingsley understood everything. The happy environment

  • Replacement Bride: His Rose   The Commotion

    Emerson walked out of the room and closed his eyes. He had to call his people to look for a man called Piers Austin in the ER. He could not understand why Kingsley was so worried and agitated after hearing about Rose and her attack. He could not understand why he, too, was feeling the same. When he heard that the girl who saved his boss, his best friend, was attacked, his heart jumped out of his chest. He grabbed his chest and caressed it to ease the pain.“Why is he feeling like this? He has never acted this way for any other woman. He has always waited for the confirmation before jumping into action. But for this woman, he is ready to burn the world down. He didn’t even see her clearly. He was bleeding; he fainted; he didn’t even know her name. So why is he so concerned for her? Why is he so angry?“And what the hell is wrong with me? Why is my heart aching if she has a boyfriend, no, no, a fiancé? Why am I feeling sad? So what she got hurt? I don’t know her. Yes, she saved, she pro

  • Replacement Bride: His Rose   The Twenty

    Severina had no answer for Kingsley. Even Emerson was looking at both of them with confused eyes. That girl saw everything, experienced everything, she saw Kingsley dying, she held him in her arms, she saw the blood flowing, she heard the gunshots, she saw two dead bodies, yet she denied seeing anything.“I… I really don’t know,” said Severina.“What about the hospital?” asked Emerson.“Hospital? What about it?” asked Severina.“We brought her here. That’s why her friends must have reported her missing. What did she say, where was she, and why?” asked Emerson.“Oh! According to my men, she said that she was not feeling well in the morning. She said something about a panic attack,” said Severina.“Panic attack?” asked Kingsley, worried.“I don’t know anything about that. No one knows. You know medical history is classified. No one will tell you anything about anyone’s medical history. Whether she was telling the truth or lying to my men about that, I have no idea,” said Severina.“But y

  • Replacement Bride: His Rose   The Brat or Cruel

    Kingsley sighed loudly and moved his head softly to adjust it on the pillow. He kept his eyes closed and avoided looking at Emerson as he knew that Emerson was going to tease him again.“At least look at her man!” sniggered Emerson.Kingsley opened his eyes in a swift motion and stared at Emerson. “I knew it! I knew it! You cannot keep your mouth shut, can you?” growled Kingsley. He was angry, but that made Emerson laugh.“You don’t look at beautiful women. How are you going to fall in love? How are you going to get married?” teased Emerson. “Do you want to remain a virgin all your life?”“Shut up!!!” shouted Kingsley. “I have carefully curated this persona that I am a playboy and ruthless in bed. Don’t damage my name!! You idiot!!”“Oh, sorry! Right, the playboy!” laughed Emerson.Kingsley let out a cold sigh. “Anyway, I am already in love, and no one can take her place.”“What if your Rose is ugly or overweight or a fool? What will you do then? Your wife must know the ins and outs of

  • Replacement Bride: His Rose   The Saintess

    The moment Rose heard the signal bell of the bakery, a flicker of hope ran across her face. Did God hear her pleas? Did God send Piers to save her, protect her? And then a scary thought came to her mind. What if Piers came in, and the man standing before him would hurt him too?The man was pushing

  • Replacement Bride: His Rose   The Princess

    “Good morning, Miss Woolridge! Bus today?” asked the kind-hearted bus driver with a sweet smile on his face.“Yeah, all the cars were going for maintenance,” replied Rose and climbed into the bus.“You are the only princess I know who takes the bus and runs her own business,” said the driver.“What

  • Replacement Bride: His Rose   The Morning Routine

    Rose stretched her arms and pulled her blanket closer to her neck. She shifted to her side and, while keeping her eyes closed, yawned loudly. She knew she woke up even before her alarm could go off. She was too excited to go back to sleep. All night, she kept dreaming about Piers.She had finally s

  • Replacement Bride: His Rose   The Overwhelming Senses

    Emerson was driving the car and kept giving the reports about patients lying in his car to the doctor.“Maybe the shock was too much. Okay, I will get everything ready. When will you reach?” asked Ernesta.“Five more minutes!” said Emerson and sped up the car. “You know his blood group, right?”“I
