The Billionaire's Replacement Bride

Wyoming Wilson looked at her reflection in the vanity mirror that occupied the whole wall of the sparsely-decorated dressing room she was in. A beautiful woman looked back at her - young and innocent -looking. But behind the innocence, a certain sadness lurks in her hazel brown eyes, and if anyone would look further, one could also see something more- desperation. But then again behind that bleak expression, another emotion could be gathered - expectation. In her eyes, two emotions were fighting for dominance - despair and anticipation. More so with the latter. It poses a glimmer of hope for things that have yet to come. “You looked gorgeous, darling!” Max, the top stylist for the upper class, commented when their eyes connected in the mirror. Wyoming smiled wanly and said nothing. She looked back at her reflection in the mirror and studied her face carefully, finding nothing spectacular about her looks that would warrant such an amazing comment from a top stylist of M

At exactly the same time five days ago, Wyoming Wilson was busy preparing poached eggs on toast for breakfast when she received a call from her manager informing her that she had been called to audition. At the time, projects became scarce. If she does not find another job soon, she does not know where she is going to get enough money to pay their rent and buy basic necessities. Their resources were depleted by her father’s accident. And what’s more, they left an outstanding debt at the hospital which she agreed to pay in six monthly installments. Two months had passed but she had not been able to produce the money to make a dent on their hospital debt. The promise of a new project suddenly gave her hope. With a smile on her face, she ended the call and continued preparing breakfast for her dad. She put the food she prepared on a tray and went out of their small kitchen. She walked barefooted, humming softly to herself while treading the recently waxed wooden floor before

Even in her excitement, Wyoming felt that she had to put in her best performance to match the exorbitant rate they were paying her. She pep-talked herself into doing a great job to impress the Ellishes. She does not want them to think that they made a mistake in choosing her for this role.She was hyped. She had to slay this role and hoped to carve a name for herself in this industry. She has to prove to everyone that she can make it big this time with the right people backing her up - meaning Ellish Film Productions Limited. She started walking down the aisle and felt it odd that the production team chose another nameless, unpopular actor to play her groom. She also noticed a red flag in all these - the presence of Ellish Film Productions stalwarts Marcus and Alicia Ellish.“We are gathered here today to witness the joining of Cayden Ellish and Wyoming Wilson in holy matrimony.”That made her stop. The wedding celebrant used her real name.She also remembered her groom’s name as

Wyoming did not know how long it took for Cayden’s driver to get them to the hospital. Her eyes were closed as she struggled with her breathing. But she could hear voices - the loudest of them all came from her new husband, Cayden Ellish. He was barking orders at whoever while she was being wheeled inside. The medics soon put her on oxygen. She hurriedly breathed through the cannula. Then they injected something into her arm with Cayden's worried face looming before her. That scene was the last thing she remembered before she passed out. When she becomes conscious again, she finds herself lying in bed inside an ivory room, which feels very calming to the eyes. She bolted upright in confusion. The last thing she remembered was Cayden brought her to the hospital, and they were trying to administer relief for her sudden asthma attack. “I am glad you are okay. You gave me quite a scare back there.” Someone spoke. A man’s voice. Wyoming abruptly spun her head to her left and sa

“We will live together as husband and wife under the same roof for a year. When the year ends, we are going to file for a divorce. After our separation, you can do whatever you like, and I can do mine. We are free from any accountability from each other.”“While we were married, we had to keep appearances at all costs, especially in front of my grandfather. Pretend that you are crazy about me. Understand?”Wyoming nodded, trying to keep a straight face while listening to Cayden read the supplemental contract his lawyer drew for them. They were inside the study room in Cayden’s mansion. This is the first place he brought her to after they came from the hospital. This is also going to be her temporary home for a year. “We have separate quarters. My private quarters are off-limits to you.” He warned.Wyoming rolled her eyes when he was not looking. Why does he keep on insisting that she has any designs over him? Wyoming threw him an exasperated look and started doodling with h
