The Substitute Bride of the Mafia Tycoon Chapter 42: Mafia King
“Oh! You’re here. I was calling you a while ago. You didn’t hear it?” I heard someone ask, so I glanced at the door to see Ciara, who was looking at me.“No, I was preoccupied,” I answered.“About what? You’ve been zoning out lately. If ever that something was bothering you, you can share it with me,” Ciara uttered.I let out a deep sigh when I remembered my parents’ suspicious acts. The guns, the bodyguards, my father’s business at night. Everything seems to have a meaning behind that. So instead of thinking about it, I’d rather ask them if my parents are connected to them and if they are also a member of their organizations.“Ciara, do you think my parents died because of the mafia? Are they connected to your organization?” I asked frankly, and she was taken aback as if she didn’t expect me to ask that question. Her eyes widened, her lips parted, and it indicated that she was surprised by my question.Based on her reaction, my parents seem to be members of a mafia organization, and t
The Substitute Bride of the Mafia Tycoon Chapter 43: Run for your life
“Annalise! You better hide!” Jake exclaimed when he opened the door. My forehead creases when I glance at him because he’s pale and he’s breathing so hard, as if something happened. He immediately picked up Czyanne, who was peacefully lying on the bed, before handing him to me.Ciara suddenly entered my room while also panting. I’m confused. They look confused and scared for some reason that I don’t know. Why do they look so tense?“Damn it! Kazimir! They found us!” Ciara screamed while holding a gun, which made my eyes widen.“Annalise, open your signal so they can track you,” Jake commanded, and I followed him right away, only to find out that they were now in a panic.“We didn’t expect them to locate Annalise that fast!” I heard Keifer say.“Ciara, go with Annalise,” Jake uttered.“Jake, that’s dangerous! You need to come with us!” Ciara yelled at him.“I need to pester them so you can go to the location that Kazimir has sent! You both need to go there as much as possible!” Jake sh

“Annalise!” Zeno exclaimed when we arrived at this luxurious house.I can’t tell if I can be happy now that I have finally seen him because of the incident. I wanted to cry about the situation we have because things are now getting worse than I expected. I thought we would live peacefully, but it seems like it’s now impossible.“How are you? Are you hurt?” Zeno asked when he reached for me before glancing at Czyanne. His eyes became soft and tried to touch Czyanne.Zeno’s face and body are still the same as the last time I saw him. Good thing he’s doing his best to maintain his body and health while dealing with our enemies.“How’s Jake?” Ciara asked, so our attention darted to her, who was now looking at Kazimir.“He survived. He only got a slight wound, but he will come here immediately when he is sure that no one will follow him,” Kazimir replied.I examined our companions and noticed that there were a few people I didn’t know. Maybe it’s their allies, but I have no time to know th

Annalise Ysia Villareal’s Point of View“I apologize for my hectic schedule. You know, I’m currently striving hard on my novel and I feel delighted when I accomplish it. I submitted it to my editor a few days ago, and I was simply waiting for the results—”“So you’re concerned with your profession and neglecting your partner? Annalise, did you truly love me, or do you merely enjoy the thought of loving me? Because I can’t feel it,” Fitz said. “You always claim you have affection and concern for me, but I fail to sense it. Your behavior seems to indicate otherwise.”I was simply gazing at him, speaking with those aggravating remarks that I had never imagined I’d received from him. For three years, he’s been a nice, caring, and affectionate partner, but now I can no longer recognize him. Did I neglect him, causing him to be like this?I hadn’t predicted this since I assumed he’d understood me in attaining my goals, but it turned out that he was left with no option but to acknowledge me.
The Substitute Bride of the Mafia Tycoon Chapter 2: Acknowledge
“Are you sure? He executed people who dared not to follow him. I’m afraid that you can survive if you become his wife.” “I’m sure, and that’s impossible. He can’t kill people. All of that is just fiction or hearsay. You don’t have any evidence,” I uttered and waved my hand at her. She was just looking at me, shocked and hesitant. She blinked her eyes many times, trying to regain her poise. “This is not a simple situation—” “Every situation isn’t easy and yet I’m true to my words. If you’re going to agree, I offer myself to become a substitute,” I said firmly while looking into her eyes. I saw her let out a deep sigh before nodding her head. “I agree, but there’s no turning back. Are you sure about this?” I smiled at her to assure her, “Yes. I’m sure about this.” .... “So you are saying that you wanted to be the substitute?” Rose’s father asked. Rose, the woman I saved from ending her life by jumping into the deep river, invited me to their house to talk about the offer that I h
The Substitute Bride of the Mafia Tycoon Chapter 3: Watching
“Did you see how she looked at me? Damn! Does she think that I will acknowledge her as my bride? The hell! In her dreams!” That phrase has been bothering me for the past few days. I tried to ignore it, but I just couldn’t. Does that mean he also doesn’t want this marriage? “Ma’am Rose, this is your iced coffee.” I heard someone say something that caught my attention, so I stopped typing and turned my head to look for the person who entered my room. When I noticed that it was the head housemaid, holding a glass of iced coffee that I requested a while ago, I smiled at her. “Thank you so much. You can just place it beside my laptop.” I looked at my laptop again and started typing. I was just working on the outline of my novel first so I could recall it if ever I had writer’s block. It would be easy for me to finish my novel, especially if I’m getting lazy sometimes to write. I always force myself to work and imagine sometimes which leads me not to be satisfied with my work and looks l
The Substitute Bride of the Mafia Tycoon Chapter 4: Serves you right
The vase fell because it startled her, so I lowered my head to help her, “I apologize. I didn’t mean to scare you, but I just wanted to talk to you since—” “What happened, Leia? What’s with the noise?” someone shouted from the first floor. “I accidentally broke the vase, Kendyll,” she shouted. As far as I know, she’s Leia. “Wait! I’ll help you,” she replied and after a few minutes, a beautiful woman appeared out of nowhere while wearing a maid’s uniform. Leia and Kendyll feel like they came from a well-known family, but I’m not sure although they are familiar. When Kendyll noticed my presence, her face showed shock as if she didn’t expect me to be there. I had been locking myself in my room, trying to finish the novel. However, ever since I received that text message, negative thoughts blurred everything, and I couldn’t even create a scenario in my mind. I tried listening to songs and instrumentals, but I ended up having writer’s block and I can’t even feel satisfied after reading
The Substitute Bride of the Mafia Tycoon Chapter 5: Care
“Ma’am Rose, the makeup artist and hairstylist, will be here in a few minutes,” the maid informed me outside of my room. I let out a deep sigh and looked at my reflection in the mirror. Tonight, the announcement will be made that Rose is engaged to the Arrogant and Rude Heir of the Mercedes Clan, but in reality, Rose is Annalise Ysia Villareal, the Substitute Bride for her fiancé. “Let us all welcome Zeno Myer Mercedes with his fiance, Rose Vergara!” the host announced. All the visitors rise and clap their hands, making my hands wet and trembling. Even if I’m not Rose, I can still feel the pressure with their eyes as if they are expecting something from me because I’m his fiance. “Don’t do any stupid stunts here, woman or else. You will experience my wrath,” he whispered, which made me clench my jaw. If he doesn’t want me to be his wife, then why did he accept this arranged marriage? I can’t believe him! He can just back out if he doesn’t want to rather than get angry with me. “Why
