The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 11
Mia's POVAs soon as we entered the car, Allen's hand was off my body like I was dirt. The scowl on his face was so evident that I swallowed hard as Connor shut the door, waiting for his next action."I told you not to say anything." He said in a harsh voice as he turned to look at me. I avoided his gaze and maintained my composure so he wouldn't think I was affected by him."But I had to say something." I replied to him, finally meeting his gaze."No, you didn't have to say anything." "Really? Because if I had decided not to say anything, we would still be out there with those reporters and they'd keep asking you questions about Sophie, which was clearly affecting you-""That's none of your business." He stated coldly, his eyes matching his voice. I pretended I was unbothered despite my racing heart. "Why? I'm your wife, shouldn't I be helping you with all these things? Do you want the public to know that you're still in love with your ex even though you're married to me?" "Get th

Mia's POV"Do you want me to get one for you?" Allen's voice was soft as he spoke, his thumbs continued to trace circles on my hands and my eyes stayed glued to our locked fingers. "A cat?""Yeah, do you want one?" He asked again, his grip on my hands tightened. I glanced at him and met with his hazel eyes, staring at me like I was a piece of art. A little shiver worked its way down my back and I remained tongue tied. Allen raised a brow at me, expecting me to give him an answer, I opened my mouth to talk but nothing seemed to come out."I'm sorry to interrupt, but here are your drinks." The flight attendant said as she stood beside Allen. I immediately yanked my hands from Allen's grip like I had been caught doing something bad. I gave her a warm smile and grabbed my orange juice, "Thank you." I told her, before taking a sip from it. Allen dismissed her after he had taken his glass of champagne. I felt his eyes on me but I refused to look at him. I brushed a non-existing strand of

Mia's POVI turned towards the other side of the soft bed and pulled the plush pillow towards my chest. I smiled in content and sank further into the bed. The bed was exactly like the one in my room, at Allen's penthouse, except this one had more pillows.Since we got to LA and ate an early dinner, I had gone straight to bed after a quick shower. I had to explain to Allen that I was tired after the flight and just wanted to rest when he started to talk about the details of the event we would be going to. And now I was awake and it wasn't even morning yet.I grabbed my phone to check the time and saw that it was just twelve o'clock in the midnight. I decided to listen to some music, hoping that it would make me feel sleepy again. But I started to feel thirsty, so I left my room, closing the door quietly behind me so I wouldn't wake Allen, who was sleeping in the room next to mine. I tiptoed and walked past his room, his light was off so he was probably asleep. I walked into the kitchen

Mia's POV"Help me!" I screamed as Allen jumped into the water, he swam towards me and my eyes widened in horror when I remembered that I was still naked."Get away from me." I said as I tried to swim away from him. He stopped and stared at me in confusion, like I wasn't the same person who was calling out for help a few seconds ago."What the fuck is wrong with you, Red? At first you wanted me gone and then you started screaming for help, and now that I'm here you want me to get away from you, what exactly do you want me to do?" Confusion etched over his face as he spoke to me. He obviously didn't know what to do anymore so he balanced himself on the water and kept staring at me."There's something on my leg." My voice was barely above a whisper, but I knew he heard me because he tilted his head to the side."Do you want me to help you with it?" He asked and he stared at me like I would accuse him of something if I didn't give him a confirmation."Ye- yes." I answered him as I wrappe

Mia's POV"Well, I wanted to but you told me you were tired." He replied to me in a bored tone."Shit!" I started to rush my food so I could go and get ready. I knew it would take eternity for me to do my makeup and dress up so I had to hurry."You don't have to rush yourself, Red. You still have until seven o'clock to get yourself ready, and this time, don't be late." I could tell he meant his last words with the way he stabbed his finger on the table with each other. With that he pushed his chair backwards and proceeded to the kitchen with his plate of half eaten food. I sighed as he walked past me, this man was starting to annoy me. When he said we would be heading to the event soon, I thought he meant twelve or one o'clock. But we wouldn't be leaving until seven o'clock!! How the hell was seven o'clock anytime soon?I finished the rest of my food and headed to my room to freshen up. After that, I talked with Kara for a while. When I told her about the pool incident, she couldn't

Mia's POV"Holy shit! This is amazing, Pen. You did a really good job." I kept gawking at myself in the mirror. This woman was really talented. I wondered why she didn't do my wedding make-up herself. "That's because you're already pretty, I just added a few touches to make you even more beautiful." She said as she stared at me through the mirror."Wow! Thank you." I told her as I gently smooth the fabric of the red dress on my skin. Penelope must have noticed that I loved simple dresses because this dress was simple just like my wedding dress. The dress glued to my body like second skin, the low V-neckline showed a bit of cleavage, and I didn't bother to wear a bra since it had thin shoulder straps. A slit ran from my upper left thigh downward, revealing even more skin, but thank God for the slit, I would be walking like a snail if it wasn't there.I had never worn a cloth so revealing before but I felt so comfortable in it and I love it. I smacked my red lipstick stained lips toge

Mia's POV"Allen Walker." A man called out as we walked into the exquisitely furnished hall. He wore a dark blue tux and his wavy blonde hair was neatly gelled backwards, he was handsome and he knew it. He held his shoulders high as he walked towards us with confidence in every stride. Allen's hand tightened around my waist which made me wonder who the man was."Who is he?" I leaned closer to him and whispered, but he didn't answer, he kept staring at the man until he finally stopped in front of us."Austin." Allen said with a bored expression on his face. The man's expression was quite the opposite of Allen. His handsome face lit up with a smile as his gray eyes moved from Allen to me."It's been a while, brother." He said as he extended his arm for a handshake. Brother? I thought Allen was the only child of his parents.Allen removed his hand from my waist and shook Austin without uttering a word."Mom told me about your wedding. It's a shame I missed all the drama. I've been busy
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 18
Mia's POVMy plan was about to get ruined by Allen. He wasn't supposed to stare at Sophie like that. Like he missed her, like he wanted to be with her instead of me, like he wished she hadn't cheated on, or maybe it was just my imagination. "Hi, Allen." Sophie said in a gentle voice as she stood up and reached out to hug him.I frowned and moved between them, facing Allen. I placed my hands on his chest so I could gain his attention. And when he was finally looking at me, I smiled and hugged him."I didn't want to distract you while talking to your business associates so I came here to get something to drink." I told him while I rested my head on his chest, listening to the wild beating of his heart.When I saw that he didn't play along or make any move to hug me back, I looked up and saw him already staring at Sophie again. I pushed myself away from him in frustration and grabbed my purse."When you are done staring at her, I'll be in the car waiting for you." I said in an irritated
