I hated how disappointed I felt, and also how helpless. However, the feeling of Anthony's hand twitching in mine gave me hope. I leaned in closer to get a clearer look at his face as the three of us huddled close to his hospital bed. His hand was twitching ever so slightly once again in mine, but this time something felt very different. It felt like I could not just feel his movement but also see it as I stared closely at his eyelids.

"His eyelids are moving. I'm sure of it," I said excitedly.

"As I said, these are nothing but random movements," Diana said, but this time her eyes focused on Anthony's face.

It felt like the air in the room shifted as the three of us focused our attention on Anthony's eyes to monitor their movements. When his eyelashes fluttered, I knew for certain that I hadn't just imagined things.

"Please wake up," I said as I gave his hand a squeeze.

Just like magic, all our prayers from just a moment ago were answered all at once when Anthony's eyes fluttered once

  • Substitute Wife for the Mafia King   Potential Error

    In the dream, it felt like Anthony was trying to tell me something, but it felt so difficult for me to hear him. Then, Bradon appeared out of nowhere and pulled me away while I struggled. It was a strange dream, and it didn't help that I wasn't sure what Anthony was trying to say to me. Although I had never seen the two brothers together before in real life, the clear disagreement between them wasn't quite what I had imagined in my mind."I wonder if he's home..." I whispered to myself after I realized that I didn't quite remember all the details of the dream that I had.Wrapping a robe around my thin nightgown, I quickly made my way down to the living room. My instincts told me that Bradon was home and that it was about time we got down to talking about what exactly was bothering him. It felt like I had hit the jackpot when I found Bradon sitting casually on the sofa the moment I walked into the living room. It felt like he had been waiting for me, and I could sense that we wanted to

    He said your name," Diana replied without any further explanations."Who said my name?" I asked as I felt my brows drawing even closer together into a frown."Anthony. Your name was the first he called when he woke up. Don't you wonder why?" my sister replied with a curious look on her face.Thanks to my sister, I realized the abnormality that had occurred. If Diana realized it, Bradon must have realized it as well-that the first and only name that Anthony called when he regained consciousness was none other than my name. However, it did not make any sense because, apart from me, Diana and Bradon were also there. If I had to place my bet on who Anthony would have called out to first, I would have placed my entire life's wealth on Diana, but that wasn't how things turned out.I stared down the hallway where Bradon had walked down. I couldn't help but wonder how he felt when Anthony called out my name....Zain was waiting for me with a polite smile on his face the moment that I stepped

    "At least Bradon is working hard to enjoy the day in his place," I replied as I kept my eyes glued to the television screen. "Really? The man just looks dead bored, as if he would gladly die just to be somewhere else," Diana said, followed by a loud laugh.My brows furrowed as I kept on staring at Bradon as he worked hard to put on his best act as his younger brother. Of course, I knew very well that behind that perfectly smiling mask was a man who was slowly dying on the inside as his patience was slowly fading away."Don't say that. He's trying his best to hang in there for Anthony's sake," I snapped. "Then he should just ditch all the party and turn up here," Diana retorted bitterly.There was a large part inside of me that agreed readily with my sister, but I also knew that preserving Anthony's life for him while he was away was the right thing to do. When Anthony regains his consciousness, his life will be there waiting for him as if he had never fallen into his long slumber. T

  • Substitute Wife for the Mafia King   Unlike Before

    I no longer felt that stinging ache in my heart whenever I thought that Anthony would prefer my sister over me. Instead, I found myself hoping that seeing my sister would bring some relief to him and aid his recovery. "I guess I do owe it to him..." Diana replied pensively. "It wouldn't kill for you to be nicer to him. He's was your fiance," I quickly reminded her. "He's a good friend," Diana replied after a moment of silence in which she seemed to be considering something. I decided not to push her any further. For better or for worse, the engagement that was set to unite our families was over. Everything went quite well and according to plan, but I found it hard to congratulate myself on my success every time that I set eyes on Anthony in the condition that he was in. I prayed that he would wake up soon and that he wouldn't take the fact that he is no longer engaged to my sister too hard. Just like all of us, I believed that Anthony deserves to be happy. Perhaps it was time th

  • Substitute Wife for the Mafia King   Facing Him

    "I'm sorry..." I mumbled."Don't worry. I'm not going to die that easily," Bradon said with a streak of stubbornness. He smiled at me, but I could not find any joy in the lightness of his words."But you were shot, and you got hurt," I pointed out as a feeling of guilt came over me. Somehow, I felt like it was my fault, and it might as well have been me that had shot him."I'm fine. The bullet just grazed my shoulder, and everyone made a big deal out of it. Although I'm certain that many are disappointed that I'm not dead," Bradon said before he grinned at me."I honestly thought that I had lost you, and I didn't know what to do with myself," I admitted in a soft whisper."You won't lose me that easily. I'm determined to stay by your side and keep you with me," Bradon said before he placed a soft kiss on my forehead. I felt tears slowly rolling down my cheeks when I closed my eyes and accepted his kiss....Surprisingly, when I asked Bradon to see Anthony, he did not have any objectio
