Substitute Wife For The Cold-Hearted Billionaire 54
Chelsea“Where is my husband?”I asked when I walked into the living room of the VVIP unit I was in and found Matthew with his girlfriend, but no sign of Nathan, who I thought would be with them.“Oh, she only cares about her husband now.”I rolled my eyes at Matthew’s response and smiled at Dorathy who stood up and hugged me.“It’s nice to meet you.”She told me.“We have met before.”I reminded her. She pulled out of the hug and smiled.“I know, but the last time we met, I wasn’t your friend’s girlfriend.”I smiled at her response.“You are right. I am happy for you two.”I told her and looked around again, wondering where Nathan could have gone.“I told him to call his friend. I told him he needed a friend for when you go into surgery.”Dorathy revealed, and I realized how selfish I had been for not caring enough about Nathan’s well-being.The man sobbed in my arms. Of course, he isn’t okay, and he needs a friend.“I feel terrible for not realizing he needs someone.”I said, and Do

NathanI was able to quickly brush my teeth and splash water on my face before Matthew arrived with my cousin.“You look terrible.”Matthew commented when he saw me. I glared at him and fully ignored his words.Of course, I look terrible. I didn’t sleep last night, and in a few hours, I have to send my wife to a scary place.How would I look good? It wasn’t just me in a terrible place; Joan walked out of the room she shared with Claudia, and she looked very sad compared to yesterday. She looked like she didn’t sleep at all last night. She took one look at the three of us and walked back into the room she came out of without saying anything to us.The only person who looked really good was my cousin, and she smiled at me as she approached me for a warm hug.“Dorathy.”I whispered and leaned into her hug.“It’s okay, darling; she will be fine.”She assured me, patting my back. I fought the urge to cry again and nodded at her words. I pulled out of the hug and smiled at her.“I am glad y

Nathan“So, you didn’t think I was cold-hearted and unfit to be her husband?”She shook her head.“I never thought you were cold-hearted. I don’t believe rumours. I believe what I see in a person; I am a good judge of character, and I saw through the cold-hearted façade. If you talk to your wife, you would know that even when you were being very distant, I still believed you had some good in you.”Her words surprised me.“Thank you.”She laughed, and this time, there was no sadness.“For the record, I am not cold-hearted unless it comes to business. You have to be strict to run a successful business.”“I know that, and I have seen enough today to know that I was right about you, and I am glad that I was right. You could have left her when you found out, but you didn’t, and that pretty much confirms everything I thought about you.”“I wish I had done things differently.”I lamented, twisting the cigarette in my hand.“You wish you had a time machine.”She repeated my earlier words, and

NathanI couldn’t sleep.I stayed awake long after Chelsea fell asleep in my arms. I couldn’t stop staring at her and wishing things were different.I couldn’t stop wishing that I would wake up and realize this was all just a nightmare and that she wasn’t sick at all.If only this were a dream, I would have rushed to her as soon as I woke up and hugged her close with tears streaming down my eyes, but sadly, it wasn’t a dream.I knew it wasn’t a dream because I had pinched myself so many times to wake myself up, and all I did was inflict pain on myself.The pain didn’t matter to me.Nothing else really mattered to me except the woman softly snoring in my arms. I know I told her everything would be fine, but the fear of losing her clawed a hole in my heart, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t close that hole of fear, and it only got deeper as the new day grew closer.I had already spoken to the doctor, and he assured me that they would do their best for her, but their best wasn’t

Chelsea“Oh dear, I am sorry that I asked. I didn’t know it was that bad.”I shook my head when he apologized.“It’s okay,” I assured him. “It has always been weird between us, and I don’t really blame her for not liking me. Maybe I would have hated her too if she came into my home and tried to take away attention from me. You know how our relationship was.”I added.“It’s not your fault that your mom married into that family, and she should never have used that against you. You could have been friends.”I laughed. There’s no way Esther would have wanted to be my friend. She hated me and only pretended around her dad to win favours and make me seem like the ungrateful one whenever I tried to stay away from her in the presence of others.“Also, I don’t think you would have been mean to her if the roles were reversed. It’s not about what happened and how you both became sisters; it’s the kind of person she is and the kind of person I am sure you would never be. You are not mean. You cou

Chelsea“I don’t hate your father, Chelsea, but I don’t regret leaving him. I did what I felt was best for me, and I don’t regret it.”I actually liked that she didn’t lie and make some sob story about how she was sorry for leaving him. She has to stay true to herself somehow, and I prefer it over some fake regret.“Okay, let’s keep it like that. He probably doesn’t even remember you. He doesn’t remember me most of the time, but the last time I went to see him, he remembered me. He knew me because Nathan always went to him and talked about me.”She looked surprised when I told her Nathan knew my father. Even Joan looked surprised too.“Your husband knows your dad? As in your real dad?”I nodded at Joan’s question.“He has been going to see him at least three times every month since we got married. They are practically best buddies and he remembered him before he remembered me.”Both women couldn’t hide their shock and I couldn’t blame them because it had been the same for me when I fo
