Regret took over me when I thought it might be too late and that I might have made the wrong decision. I doubted that I could continue living properly if I didn't get a chance to see him again. Bradon's presence felt commanding just as always, and I couldn't tell from the way that he was dressed and how he was standing up so straight where it was exactly that he was injured.

Regardless, seeing him still alive was more than enough for me. I wanted to run towards him and wrap my arms around his neck and pull him tightly into my embrace, but my body wouldn't move. Now that the first wave of relief had faded, all that I could feel was guilt for leaving him without saying a word. There were a million things that I wanted to say to him, but I couldn't find the right words. Bradon stared at me silently, and his gaze was too sharp and too cold for my liking.

"I guess having you find me turned out to be easier than me finding you," Bradon said before his lips curved into a mischievous smirk.

  • 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

  • Substitute Wife for the Mafia King   You Belong To Me

    Instead of facing the consequences of my decisions and the guilt that I was carrying, just like the coward that I was, I found it much easier to start the conversation by blaming him for the only fault that I could think of at that time. "You should have told me the truth," I said, as my voice started to crack. "All those times that I asked you about Anthony, you just stood there and said nothing and pretended that you didn't know, when in fact you knew everything. You should have told me," I blamed him endlessly."I didn't want to lie to you," Bradon replied flatly after a moment of heavy silence between us. "But isn't keeping silent almost the exact same thing? You should have told me the truth," I retorted."You wanted the truth so badly, as if you couldn't bear to move on with your life without it. But what would you have done if I told you the truth? Would you have gone running straight to him?" Bradon asked accusingly.I sucked in a breath and held it as I tried to put my ange

  • Substitute Wife for the Mafia King   Just Him

    My heartbeat thundered in my ears as I approached them. The three of them were engaged in such an intense conversation that, at first, they did not recognize my presence. Diana's voice was the first that came to me. Her voice was shaky, as if she was barely holding herself together."The doctor said that there's no change in his condition. Anthony is still unresponsive, although it's been months, and this whole thing with the snipers is only making it worse..." Diana said.I came to a stop as my mind struggled to process her words. My heartbeat grew even faster in my chest, and for a moment I thought that perhaps I had misheard my own sister. What did she mean when she said that Anthony is still unresponsive?Diana already knew that Bradon had taken Anthony's place, and that meant that the man who was shot was none other than Bradon. Yet how was it possible that Anthony was the one who was unresponsive? Nothing made sense to me at that moment. It felt like I was missing a very key pie

  • Substitute Wife for the Mafia King   Emergency

    It hurt me more than anything to realize that I couldn't blame him, even if he did that, because I was the one who betrayed him first. I left him without a word or farewell, running away from him as if he were the one who had done something wrong. Memories of our time together came back like waves. The fake honeymoon that we enjoyed together felt more real than anything, right at that moment. I remembered the way that he would laugh whenever he let his guard down on the nights when we enjoyed each other's company simply as our true selves, and the dangerous world outside and our identities didn't need to complicate things for us.There was a time when I thought that love was enough, but a small voice inside of me reminded me not to be so foolish. As time slipped by, I found myself praying that the door would just swing open and that Bradon would be standing there with his arms wide open. I wanted nothing more than to be held in his arms once again. I had to admit to myself that, with
