THE BILLONIARE UNWANTED SUBSTITUTE BRIDE THE WEIGHT OF CHOICES
Scarlett stood alone in the sprawling, dimly lit hallway of the mansion, her mind racing with thoughts and emotions she could barely keep up with. She had been walking in circles inside her head for hours, trapped in an endless loop of what-ifs and should-haves. The conversation she had with Damien had cracked the door open to something she hadn’t expected, but it also left her more confused than ever.His words those raw, vulnerable confessions echoed in her mind, drowning out all other thoughts. He loved her. He had always loved her. The realization hit her with the force of a freight train. The man who had once seemed so distant, so cold, had hidden his feelings beneath layers of anger and secrecy. Now that it was out in the open, Scarlett couldn’t ignore the strange warmth that stirred inside her.But how could she trust him again? How could she believe anything he said after everything that had transpired between them? The lies, the manipulation, the betrayal it was all too much
THE BILLONIARE UNWANTED SUBSTITUTE BRIDE THE VEIL OF TRUTH
The night was eerily quiet, the soft hum of the air conditioning filling the empty spaces of the villa. Scarlett stood by the large glass windows, her back to the room, her thoughts swirling in a chaotic mix of emotions. The last few days had been a blur betrayals, confessions, plans, and the strange tension that now hung between her and Damien. Despite the distance they had put between each other, Scarlett could feel him, like a constant presence in the room, lingering at the edges of her mind.Damien had given her the space she needed, but Scarlett knew that he was never truly far from her thoughts. They were bound by so much more than just the secrets and pain they had shared. The pull between them was undeniable, yet so complicated by everything that had come to light. Every time she thought she understood where they stood, something would change, throwing everything into turmoil once again.She could still feel the ghost of his touch on her skin, the tenderness with which he held
THE BILLONIARE UNWANTED SUBSTITUTE BRIDE –THROUGH HER EYES
The sky outside was painted with streaks of deep orange and pink as the sun began its descent into the horizon. It was the kind of sunset that made everything feel like it was suspended in time, caught between what was and what could be. Scarlett sat by the window, her fingers gently tracing the edge of the glass, her gaze lost in the beauty of the moment. But behind the serenity of the colors, her heart beat erratically, her thoughts whirling like a storm.Damien's words from earlier echoed in her mind. Words that she had wanted to hear, yet never imagined would come from him. The confession. The moment when he finally admitted what had been brewing between them, something that had been there from the very beginning but was too complicated to acknowledge."You’re the one, Scarlett."The words were still raw, still too new. She wasn’t sure if they were real or if they were just a product of the heat of the moment. She wanted to believe them, wanted to let herself fall into them, but t
THE BILLONIARE UNWANTED SUBSTITUTE BRIDE SOUNDS OF THE PAST
The morning sun crept slowly through the lace curtains, casting golden streaks across the floor. Sebastian sat in the parlor, stiff-backed, his fingers drumming against the armrest of the velvet chair. He hadn’t slept much, not because he didn’t try, but because rest wasn’t something his mind allowed especially when the ghosts of his past were coming back through the front door.Scarlet had gone to greet the guest herself, giving him space, but that didn’t stop the thrum of anticipation pulsing in his chest. For years, he’d avoided this moment. For years, he told himself that revisiting the past was useless, dangerous even. But now, as he heard soft footsteps approaching, the echo of his childhood grew louder than ever.“Sebastian,” Scarlet said gently, stepping aside to reveal a woman who looked like she’d walked straight out of his memories.She was older now, of course her back slightly hunched, her hair peppered with gray but her eyes were the same: wise, kind, filled with a depth
THE BILLONIARE UNWANTED SUBSTITUTE BRIDE FRAGMENTS OF REDEMPTION
The soft flicker of candlelight danced across the mahogany walls of the Hale estate’s private study. It was the one room Sebastian had always kept to himself off-limits to everyone, including Scarlet. But tonight, something inside him cracked open like a fault line finally giving in to the pressure of hidden emotions. He needed clarity. He needed her.Scarlet stood in the doorway, hesitant. “You wanted to talk?” she asked, her voice calm but wary.Sebastian didn't look up immediately. Instead, he stared at the collection of old journals on his desk his father’s writings, his mother’s poetry, and pages of his own rage scribbled in ink over the years. “Come in,” he finally said, softer than she expected.She stepped inside, closing the door behind her. The atmosphere was heavy with unspoken tension. It was the kind of silence that could either heal or destroy.“I’ve spent most of my life hiding in this room,” Sebastian began, pushing a leather-bound book toward her. “This belonged to my
THE BILLONIARE UNWANTED SUBSTITUTE BRIDE BREAKING THE CHAINS
The coldness in the morning air clung to Aria's skin like frost, but she barely noticed. Her thoughts raced, heart pounding against her ribcage as she stood in the grand hallway of the Hayes estate, facing the wall-length windows where the soft light of dawn spilled through the glass. Everything had changed. Everything. And yet, a strange calmness hovered over her, like the eye of a storm.Damien had barely spoken a word to her since the confrontation with his father. His silence had been thunderous, filled with tension and a thousand unspoken words. But she knew it wasn’t anger that kept him distant it was pain. Pain wrapped in layers of betrayal and self-loathing. Aria could see it in his eyes whenever they landed on her, flickering like a dying flame.She turned when she heard the soft shuffle of footsteps behind her. Damien stood there, dressed sharply but his expression looked worn. Eyes tired. Shoulders heavy. But he didn't stop. He approached her slowly, and for the first time

Liam Carlyle stood alone in the hallway of his mansion, the shadows around him long and silent. The silence wasn’t peaceful it was piercing. Every corner of his empire felt like a chessboard now, and every move he made was shadowed by unseen eyes.The text messages still haunted his mind, especially the last one: You think you can trust your closest allies? You’re wrong.And yet, for the first time in years, Liam was starting to feel something he’d buried for too long fear. Not fear of losing money or power. But fear of losing the people he had come to care about.People like Lily.She had stood by him when others fled. She challenged him when he shut down. And in the darkest hours, her eyes reminded him of the man he once was, long before greed and legacy had hardened him into the cold figure the world knew.He walked into his study and found Lily there, curled up on the couch with a blanket and a half-empty cup of tea beside her. Her eyes were closed, but she wasn’t asleep he could
THE BILLONIARE UNWANTED SUBSTITUTE BRIDE THE PAINS OF BEING LET DOWN
The day following the board meeting, Liam’s victory felt bittersweet. The air around Carlyle Holdings had shifted like a storm waiting to unleash its fury. Vincent’s expulsion had been a spectacle, but Liam knew that the game was far from over. As much as he had wanted to rid himself of the toxic influence, something gnawed at him. He couldn’t shake the feeling that this was just the beginning.He walked into his office, eyes scanning the space. His desk was piled with paperwork, but it wasn’t the files that concerned him. It was the quiet. The stillness. No calls from his lawyer. No urgent summons to another boardroom. The world around him had settled into an uneasy lull, and Liam couldn’t afford to let his guard down. He knew Vincent wasn’t the only one who had a hand in the company’s web of deceit.Lily entered the room, holding a cup of coffee in her hands. She placed it gently on his desk, a silent gesture of support. She could see the tension in his jaw, the furrow in his brow.
THE BILLONIARE UNWANTED SUBSTITUTE BRIDE EMBERS IN THE SHADOWS
The morning sun broke through the clouds with a strange intensity, as though the heavens themselves were preparing to witness the unfolding war. Liam stood in the underground vault beneath the Carlyle estate with Damien by his side. The air was cold, dry, and humming with anticipation. In front of them sat a spread of files, ledgers, and encrypted drives remnants of Marcus Carlyle’s secrets, and yet none of them held what they now knew existed: the second ledger.Liam turned to Damien. “How long before Vincent makes his next move?”“Not long. The way he’s playing this, he’s building momentum. If we don’t strike first, he’ll push you out and with that ledger in his hands, he won’t just discredit you. He’ll bury everything we’ve fought for.”Liam exhaled heavily, his eyes dark with conviction. “Then it’s time we flip the board.”Damien nodded, sliding a flash drive across the desk. “Our hacker decrypted fragments from the old Carlyle files. There’s a name Foster Danes. He was Marcus’s p
