Not having the experience of being a criminal before, I wasn't quite sure how one was supposed to be treated, but the experiences that I went through might have indeed been close. I thought that I was used to disappointing my parents and the people around me. I thought that I was used to seeing the look of disappointment and disapproval in their eyes before it became a look of resentment and then complete apathy and lack of care. I thought that I could deal with everything without getting my emotions involved because, after all, I was supposed to be used to this kind of treatment, and that was why I was caught utterly off guard by how quickly things escalated.

Thinking back on it, my memories were quite blurry. Either it was simply too much for me to take in at the time for my brain to form any clear memories, or it was simply too shocking and too harsh for me to take. Either way, everything seemed to fly by me and over my head.

  • Substitute Wife for the Mafia King   Eventual Declaration

    "I love you, Dahlia. I really mean it," Anthony whispered to me passionately. "No..." I managed to say in a breathless whisper. I knew that I needed help because there was no way that I could overpower Anthony. His lips were already so close to mine that we were on the verge of kissing. My entire body froze, and for once in a very long while, I was at a loss about what to do. I felt bad for Anthony, and I didn't want to hurt him. However, I also did not want to betray Bradon and my own feelings. I felt the urge to cry my eyes out and wail like a baby, yet I had to hold it in. Once again, I found myself thinking of Bradon and wishing for him to be by my side. If we were together, I believe that there is nothing that we cannot fix and solve. Bradon...Just like my call was answered straight from heaven, suddenly the door to Anthony's hospital room opened. The loud noise drew both of our attention to the man that had hurriedly entered the room. Bradon stormed into the room with an ag

  • Substitute Wife for the Mafia King   Beyond Control

    "Listen, maybe we should wait until you're discharged from the hospital to talk about this," I told him.I had no idea why Anthony was fervently pushing this issue when he had been quiet before. Perhaps the fact that he was being discharged soon brought about this conversation faster than I was prepared for. I shifted my weight uncomfortably on the chair that I was sitting on beside his hospital bed."I don't think I can wait that long," Anthony said as if he was talking to himself.Suddenly, Anthony sat up in bed before turning his attention to me. It was hard for me to hide my surprise at his sudden and swift movement. I was further surprised when Anthony suddenly swung both his legs over the side of the bed and stood up. I stared up at him as he stared down at me. It never occurred to me that Anthony would make such a swift recovery over such a short period of time and that he was no longer a man bound to the hospital bed."I see that you're recovering very fast," I said rather tha

  • Substitute Wife for the Mafia King   Making His Move

    I truly meant it when I told him that Anthony had not made any move on me while we were spending time together at the hospital. "Are you sure?" Bradon asked with his brows raised as if he was surprised. "I'm sure. We just talk about random things. He tells me about what happened in his life while I was away and all that. It just feels like we're just keeping each other company," I explained honestly. "I see..." Bradon replied without saying anymore. ...**The day after**"I was supposed to come here with Bradon today but it seems like his work is holding him up, so he told me to head here first. He'll be joining us later for sure," I told Anthony apologetically. "Don't worry about it. I'm more than to blame for that, I think. After all, he's also doing my work and then he's also got his businesses to deal with. Honestly, I don't know how he can manage all that," Anthony said.I could sense the admiration that Anthony had for his brother. Even I thought that it was frankly amazin

  • Substitute Wife for the Mafia King   Internal Struggles

    Even so, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do about us, and now there was also that complicated and sensitive issue of how I should deal with Anthony."I'm sorry, but I just don't know how I should be feeling right now. I just feel so bad for Anthony and what he had to go through..." I replied quite honestly."You don't have to feel bad for him or for anybody. Just do what you think is best for yourself, or just leave it to me. Anthony will be fine, trust me," Bradon told me with clear certainty in his voice, as if he could foresee the future."I want to help him, but I don't know how I can do that. I think it would make me feel less guilty," I confessed softly."I'm sorry if I played a part in making you feel guilty. There's honestly no need for you to feel that way, and I did not mention your involvement in Anthony's accident to make you feel that you are to blame," Bradon explained."But still..." I mumbled as I felt tears sting the back of my eyes.Not so long ago, hearing Anthony co

  • Substitute Wife for the Mafia King   Confession

    "I mean, why did you want to pick me up? Did Diana ask you to do it?" I offered the first explanation that I could think of."Diana? This has nothing to do with her," Anthony replied."Then... why?" I asked as confusion flooded every cell of my mind."Because I want to. It's a real shame that I have to tell you like this and in this state, but I'm in love with you, Dahlia," Anthony said as he reached for my hand.At first, I was convinced that I did not hear him right because there was no way that Anthony was in love with me. For a moment, I didn't quite know how to react. I felt Bradon stiffen by my side, but my attention was focused on the look of hope that shone brightly in Anthony's beautiful eyes. It felt like he was waiting for me to acknowledge and accept his feelings for me. However, his confession only spelled out the word 'doom' in my mind."I..." I murmured before I closed my mouth again.My mind kept telling me that it was impossible for Anthony to be in love with me. I ju

  • Substitute Wife for the Mafia King   That Day

    During our time away, his parents must have filled him in on what happened while he was still locked up in his deep and long slumber."Don't worry about it. I'll always have your back," Bradon replied without missing a beat."And I promise that I'll always have yours," Anthony replied before he beamed a smile at his brother.I could feel the love between the two brothers, and it brought a smile to my lips to think that the love that they shared closely resembled the bond that I shared with my sister. It suddenly felt like I didn't belong in the room, but just as I was wondering if I should leave to give the two of them some private time and space to catch up, Anthony turned and focused his eyes on my face."I heard that you married Diana in my place..." Anthony said to Bradon, although his eyes were still glued to my face."I did. It had to be done," Bradon replied matter-of-factly."But it seemed like Diana chickened out and ran away before the wedding, so Dahlia ended up taking her
