The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 28. To impress
Kyla Eva.The cold wind greeted us the moment we touched base. I felt nervous. Knowing that I would see Enzo's mother made me anxious about how to carry myself to her liking. I hope we get along well."Just be by yourself. Don't worry about my mother. She'll love you."My response was a deep sigh of worry, and I could no longer bring myself to smile. I remember Kylie telling me that they never liked each other. She did not elaborate on why, but Enzo's mother hated her."Ready?" Enzo looked at me."Yeah, I am," I nodded weakly and looked at the stuff we had with us."You surely have plenty of stuff in there while I only have a few days of clothes," I said."Do you think only my clothes are in there?" he mischievously smiles. "I got yours too, you know," he winks and moves them."W-What? Really?" I stammered. I couldn't believe it.How did he manage to take some of my stuff from Kylie's apartment?Oh yeah, right. Enzo was Kylie's fiancé back then, and of course, he knew her apartment p
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 29. Mother
Enzo Denver.I feel my mother. She's ignoring my wife, and I don't like it. How can I tell her it's no longer Kylie because Kyla is with me now? Damn, this."I don't want her here, son, but because you are my son, I will try to be nice," she postulated.I sighed in distress, keeping at it for myself. My mother's eyebrows raised as she looked at Kyla from a distance and crossed her arms together. Kyla is helping Karing.The flight was tiring, and as much as I wanted Kyla to rest, she refused because she wanted to help Karing. I understand that. I know she's feeling uneasy with my mother."Mum, I want you to open your heart to her. She's different, Mum," I advised."Hmm, we'll see. She's not gonna last long, Enzo," she smirked. "By the way, I heard that you stopped the construction of the new clinic. Any reason for that?""I need to take precautions, Mum. It's only for a week. Xavion is helping me with the paperwork. It will be done soon," I sighed.There was a delay in the delivery of
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 30. I'm sorry
Enzo Denver."Please give her a chance, Mum. You will love her. She's not the same person she used to be.""She's an actress, Enzo, and you are a doctor. You have a gentle and kind heart. While her? Huh, she's wicked! Enzo, she's an actress. Who knows if she's only pretending to get what she wants? She can play with your emotions, but not me." Her brow raised as she looked away.My mother is very angry, and I can sense why. Kylie made a terrible mistake with her in the past, and that was my mother's first impression of her. Soon after that, she never like her.The real Kylie Eve lacks the ability to blend in and understand people. I knew it all along, and still, I understand her. She was stressed and dealing with high anxiety and depression due to work. I was helping her manage her medication.I felt sorry for her, but I loved her. I could not let her go. That's why I tend to understand her in everything that she likes to do. I showered her with luxurious gifts, and her happiness bro
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 31. A favor
Enzo Denver.Her face was buried against my chest as she remained motionless, wiping her tears without looking at me. I let out a sigh of frustration. I wish she could tell me now about herself.My jaw tightened as I listened to her cry. After a few minutes, she calmed down and regained her composure, and I could only offer her a comforting hug.We are now watching the stars while hugging and kissing. I'm happy again. This is the most memorable night for me, and having her in my arms like this completes me."How many months again?" she weakly asked, looking into the dark sky."Two months, darling.""Hmm, I see. . . That's fine! We can extend if you'd like. I don't mind, Enzo, as long as I'm with you.""Are you sure?" My jaw tightened as I looked into her eyes. She seemed happy with it."Yes, of course!" Her eyes twinkled, and she looked at me energetically."You know, I want to quit acting. I'm tired, and I don't want to go back there anymore. I just want to be with you, Enzo. Can I
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 32. I refuse
Kyla Eva.Everything was good, and I'm happy and contented. I've made up a decision, and there's no turning back. I will walk on this path together with Enzo.Currently, I am assisting Karing in carrying kindling to the dirty kitchen. I have prepared all the ingredients for the dish that I will be cooking late. For dinner tonight, we will be enjoying a pizza straight from the stone oven and baked lasagna."Oh no, Ms. Kylie. I will do that. Sir Enzo will get mad at me," Karing expressed. She took the wood kindling behind me and moved them away."No, Karing. Let me help. I'm finished slicing all the ingredients and not doing anything at the moment." I wanted to do something, and I was getting bored while waiting for Enzo. I smiled and picked up the rest of the little wood.What I love about this place is its dirty kitchen behind the house, set perfectly next to the wooden stone pizza oven. The outdoor deck is highly spacious and has a view of the sea on the other side."It's impressive
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 33. Helping
Kyla Eva.I rose from my seat, shutting the laptop with a finality that echoed my decision. It's too late to succumb to Kylie's expectations. I'm here in Sorrento with Enzo, and no one knows us. We exist in a world of our own now. A sanctuary far removed from those people who fail to comprehend me.Enzo's mother doesn't like me because, in her eyes, I am Kylie, the woman who once broke her trust for her son. It doesn't matter if she thinks of me in that way. I don't care anymore. I am with Enzo, and that's all that matters.One day, Enzo will realize that I am not Kylie, and in that moment, all I will seek from him is his forgiveness.I composed myself, ready to get out to help Karing. The door opened, and Enzo's smiling face greeted me."Darling, flowers for my beautiful wife." He hugged and kissed me after giving me the fresh flowers. It was beautiful.I did not notice his mother behind him. I smiled at her, a smile filled with hope and longing for acceptance. I was about to hug he
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 34. Struggle
Kyla Eva"No. Not there, but here!" she firmly said, pointing with her finger to where the huge pot was located.I didn't respond and just did what she wanted me to do. I lifted the huge pot and whirled it around to the other side. It was heavy, like ten kilos. My back started to get hurt, but I never complained.She was gardening in her front yard when I saw her struggling with some heavy pots. I offered to help, as I was also doing some gardening in Enzo's front yard. The other night, she complimented me on my cooking. I enjoy helping Karing, and cooking is one of my specialties.Enzo was out on a free pediatric mission today. He honestly wanted me to go with him, but I refused as I had a lot of things to organize at his house. He always provides free services to the poor. I sometimes wonder if he still has enough funds, but I guess he has many sponsors.Enzo's mother was so dense toward me, and I felt she didn't like me. I tried my best in everything. I understand her, and all I wa
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 35. As my wife
Enzo Denver.When I arrived home, it was already late. I made sure to finish all my tasks as I didn’t want to have to come back the next day. I want to spend the rest of my holiday with Kyla. I want us to tour around not just here in Sorrento but the entire country of Italy.I step out of my car, feeling excited to see her. I had a few gifts, and I also bought her favorite food.“How’s your medical mission, son?” Mum greeted me outside. It seemed like she was waiting at the entrance of our house. I hugged her.“All good, Mum. Thank you. Did you have fun today with Kyla?” I asked and paused as my mother looked at me suspiciously. “I mean, Kylie,” I cleared my throat. It was quick of me to mention Kyla’s name. I pretend to look behind her through the door. It was shut, and I couldn’t see Kayla.“She’s upstairs. She might be a bit tired, but we had fun,” she smiled mischievously.I clenched my fists. My concern for Kyla is palpable. “Mum, what did you do to her this time?”“Me? Oh, come
