“Dahlia, dear! Please help your dear father!” The head of the Alnault family desperately pleaded for my help.

I squinted my eyes at his face as I took in the evident panic and helplessness displayed on his features. I wasn't sure what I was hoping for when I wanted to see him, but his reaction surely surpassed even my wildest expectations. Gone were all of his confidence and arrogance. Perhaps, for the first time in his life, this man was feeling truly hopeless and helpless.

“Dahlia! You have to help get us out of this. You need to help our family!”my mother's high-pitched voice begged openly for my help.

I glanced in her direction. I wasn't at all surprised to feel absolutely no pity for her. The only question that went through my mind was why these two people were still standing on their feet rather than kneeling in front of me on their knees. My biological father continued begging while giving me countless reasons why I should help him out. However, most of his words were lost to

  • Substitute Wife for the Mafia King   Always There

    "We're getting married," I announced bluntly. After his awesome proposal, I learnt soon after that Bradon already had a date in mind for our wedding and it was much faster than I had anticipated. To be accurate, he wanted our wedding to be a week after our engagement. Even more surprising was the fact that he had already made preparations for most of the major arrangements such as the venue. I wasn't exactly shocked to find out that the most prestigious wedding organizer had gotten involved in the process. The first person that I decided to tell in person was none other than my sister. I thought that this sudden announcement would surprise her, in a good way. However, the look of smug satisfaction on my sister's face told me more than enough that she had seen this coming, and probably from miles away. "Finally. Just about time. No, actually, way past the time. I was actually wondering if I would ever get to attend my little sister's wedding in this life time," Diana said before rol

    "I love you too. Stay with me, Dahlia," Bradon said almost pleadingly.I had never seen him look or sound like that before and it brought a tight feeling to my chest. No words felt like they would be enough so all that I could do was nod my head slowly in agreement. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me into his tight embrace. I couldn't stop smiling as I quickly hugged him back. Just like that everything was clear in my mind and my mind was made up for good. Happiness never felt so simply and the solution to all of my problems naturally came to me. I knew without a doubt that I wouldn't regret the decision that I had made, although there would be obstacles waiting for us in the near future. Whatever may come our way, I knew that we would face it head on together. The sound of applaud and cheers of celebration enveloped us from all directions, and that was when I realized that we were not alone in our own little world. All the missing staff and gaurds that worked in the mansio

    As if providing a feast for my eyes wasn't enough, I spotted shadows of a group of people that slowly emerged into the garden in front of the mansion. Then, it all started. The sound of live classical music flooded the golden-lit garden of the mansion and seemed to transform the entire atmosphere into something so magical. I was never quite a big fan of classical music, but even so, I couldn't deny that the unexpected live performance sucked me in and held me captive. My mood suddenly felt joyous and yet peaceful at the very same time. The parade of black limousines finally arrived at the driveway in front of the mansion. I wondered what was going on, and what was the reason behind such a grand procession in which I seemed to be the only intended audience. Despite all the surprise, there was one thing that was clear to me and that was the man that was behind it all was none other than Bradon. "Bradon..." I whispered his name under my breath as the door to one of the limousines ope

    Next I began to wonder what would happen to Bradon and his life now that Anthony was ready to reclaim his life back. Bradon might be less busy, which might be a good thing but something about him retreating back into the shadow of society made me feel uncomfortable. The relationship between the two brothers was far from healed, but perhaps with more time, their open wounds could heal themselves. As for me, I felt a shudder run down my spine as I thought of my future. Bradon mentioned before that he had something planned for us, but he still never got around to sharing with me his plan. Evening had arrived again, and soon I knew that Bradon would return home. "My lady..." Zain's familiar voice snapped me out of my thoughts and I realized that all I had been doing was sitting around idly in the living room as my thoughts consumed me. I hadn't realized Zain's presence until she was standing right in front of me. "What is it?" I asked. The mansion felt empty and eerily quiet in a way

    "He has to grow up and deal with it. It's just heartbreak for god's sake. He'll move on in no time, you'll see," Diana told me brightly. With no one to talk to about this, I turned to my sister for advice and also hoped that she could help cheer me up. "I don't know about that," I replied, not at all convinced."It's really funny, though. Who would have thought that the one that Anthony was truly in love with all this time was you?" Diana said, followed by a high-pitch laugh. She was clearly having the time of life and enjoying herself all the while I recounted the story that unfolded that day in Anthony's hospital room. I couldn't deny that what happened was pretty dramatic, but that didn't mean that I liked how Diana was reacting. "I don't think it's funny at all. I don't want to hurt Anthony and I don't like seeing the two of them get in a fight," I confessed with worry. "They're two grown men, they will sort things out and get over it. You don't have to worry, and you should

    "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
