The Billionaire's Substitute Wife Vulnerable Mistakes
Alessandro entered the mansion in the evening after a long meeting with his legal team, to see his wife in his room.She sat cross-legged, looking elegant with her hair let down in long straight style. In the dim indigo and blue lighting of the room, his wife was like Cleopatra dressed in that suit and stilettos.Coupled with the glass of red wine she was nursing in her hand, Alessandro stared for a moment, something wrenching in his guts.Damn her for being so unpredictable, unlike the selfish vain Ava he knew before. This was exactly the reason he was still unable to get past those nights they had shared.But how could she? When she was even more addictive than the wine in her hand and hotter than the fiery flames..."Can you shut the door? The staff shouldn't witness us fight, should they?"

The Billionaire's Substitute Wife Strangers Again
Wife, Mom, CEO, Actress, Model.The traffic on Ava's social media accounts was crazy. The agency finally hired a media handler on the second week, after it was clear that Wendy would slump and fall ill with the tons of work facing her.Offers poured in from all directions, and although Eve had wanted to take a break from the recently concluded shoot, her agent had convinced her to accept a role."We need to cash into this obsession fans currently have with you. Baby, the importance of a celebrity is fleeting, you won't always remain relevant unless you entertain your fans."Those words from her agent had pushed Eve to choose the role of an assassin who killed for the government in power. "It's badass, but shouldn't you work on a hallmark romance or something?" Eve hadn't shared that opinion with her manager. Romance was a no-no for her, specifically now.Alessandro barely slept in the house anymore, and whenever she saw him, it was when they crossed paths on their way to Zoe.The t
The Billionaire's Substitute Wife Premiere
One Week LaterIt was Eve's first time of being in such star-studded event, surrounded with celebrities she had admired over the years.It was difficult to remember that she was here as Ava, who was also a celebrity and therefore resist the urge to blush like a teenage fan girl when they came to take pictures with her."I saw the trailer, you were killing it!" "Oh my God, your acting is so good, I should do a commercial with you soon." Eve was overwhelmed by the support she was receiving, and held herself from doing something silly like jump up and ask for autographs.It was weird to see fans in the flesh, requesting for her autograph and screaming when she smiled at them.This had been her in England and London as a student, framing the few autographs she got and using the rest as wallpapers.It was weird how fast things had changed. "Hey, Ava, I think we have enough pictures now. Let me show you to your table." Wendy who was dressed in black like most of the guests said to her,

"Baby shark do do do do do do baby shark..."

The little kid sang along with a tone that was tiny and lacking every rhythm.But despite the stress associated with it, it was a joy to see her laugh with gum which was starting to get filled with baby teeth.Zoe was a delight, and Eve felt guilty for not spending enough time with her due to work.Which was why this Sunday which happened to be a day off at the set for her, and since she also didn't have to go to work, she decided to take the kid on a shopping spree and amusement park.Zoe sat at the back in the kid's protective seat, giggling and muttering words which filled Eve's heart with joy."Daddy shark do do do do do do..." Eve sang along to

"You are saying you want to start looking for Ava right now?"Leonardo Vince sat across Eve in her office, the morning sun making a play of the shades of green shimmering in his eyes."Yes." Eve replied, and turned the laptop in front of her towards him.It was that picture that Alessandro had shown her of Ava in a sex club.It was blurry, but she intended to begin her search from somewhere anyway. The young attorney nodded, adjusting his big rimmed glasses to take a proper look at the screen.While he took his time, Eve reclined into the executive seat and continued, "I looked into it of course, and because our company isn't focused on tech, I can't get the information I need from our database, hence..."This time, Leonardo picked up what she meant, and completed the statement for her."You will use Alessandro's, when the collaboration begins."Eve neither affirmed nor denied his words, but rolled her seat towards the window, the silver locks of her hair reflecting against the rays
