"What would you be needing my help for?" I asked, curious. "Do you remember those times when we were little…whenever I do something wrong in our class, you always come forward pretending to be me and receive my punishment?" He asked, and I hummed in agreement. "And do you remember those times when I couldn't read for any exams and I was scared to fail, you would pretend to be me and write the exams for both of us and no one knew because we were so identical?" "Yeah, but where are you heading with all of this?" "I want you to do the same thing for me again." Nolan said, getting me more confused. "What exactly is it for you?" "I want you to pretend to be me and get married to Savannah, it will only be for some time till i'm really ready to face the responsibility of marriage." He said. I burst out laughing so hard that my stomach hurts. What he just said sounded so funny, he is really good at making jokes. "What's funny?" "Sor…Sorry, your jokes are just so funny." I said, trying to control my laughter. "What joke? This is no joke Nate, I am being serious. Think of it as a substitute, you will substitute for me till i'm ready." He said, looking all serious. He wasn't joking. He has gone mad!

The Substitute Groom Chapter 13
Nathan's Pov"Is loving someone so wrong?" She asked, making me look at her with surprised.She turned to face me, her eyes were teary and swollen red like she has been crying the whole day. She must've been crying the whole day, it make me feel all gulity and hurt because I feel like I'm the reason for this."No Savannah, loving someone isn't wrong. Rather what's wrong…is falling in love with the wrong person." I said sadly.I think that broke her more because she suddenly burst into tears, hurting me more. I couldn't stop myself from pulling her into my arms to comfort her, she accepted it and cried more. She cried on for what seemed like forever before her cries gradually died down, but she still remained in my arms till her trembling shoulders became all relaxed and her breathing became all stable like she had fallen asleep."Savannah?" I called, wanting to know if she was awake.I slightly stroke her arm to get a response, but I didn't get any. I tried pulling away and her body a

Nolan's Pov"She knows that I am Nathan and not the man that she has loved all these years!" He blurted out.I can't believe this!How did she figure this out?!This is screwed!"You could have been there to see how hurt and betrayed she felt, and do you know how I felt at that moment?! I hated myself for putting her through that." He said, making me feel so bad inside."I really didn't mean for this to hurt her that way…""...but you did. Listen Nolan, I have managed to convince her to put up with this till you are ready to accept this and I do not know if she accepts or not. But one thing I know is that you have month, just one month to put yourself together. Because if that one month come to end, I won't care if you are ready or not because I will be done." He said, handing me the file and walked away.Fuck!How will I face Savannah now?!This is a lot harder than I imagined it.***Savannah's PovThis brightness showing up in the curtains of my eyes made me groan, I used my hand t

Nathan's PovSavannah came in from the balcony, she came to a halt when her eyes landed on me. Her eyes were filled with tears which was so confusing, why is she crying?! Why is she crying?!"What happened? Why are you crying?" I asked, making my way towards her.On getting to her, I met with a hard slap on my cheek that threw my face the other way. "What did you take me for?! Some fool?!" She yelled in tears.I am clueless on what she's talking about and why she slapped me."Answer me?!" She yelled, and threw a punch to my chest which didn't have much of an effect on me."What are you talking about?!""Do not fool me anymore, I know it's you Nathan!" She said.I am extremely stunned, how on earth did she know it was me?!"Surprised huh? You must be a fool to think I won't differentiate between you and Nolan, what I do not understand is why you did this. Why are you posing as Nolan?! You better have a good explaination for ruining my life like this!" She half yelled, still in tears.
The Substitute Groom Chapter 10
Savannah's Pov"Why did you stop?" I asked, curious."I saw you enjoying the evening, so I thought this is what you need for a moment." He said with a small smile which I returned.Nathan is such a sweet guy and that's what I love and admire about him since childhood, he know me better that I know myself. My sister is so lucky to have such a great guy like Nathan in her life, I just wish Nolan could be a bit more like him at times.I came down and walked to the back of the car, and Nathan came down too. I tried climbing onto it to sit down, but it was quite diffcult for me."Need a hand?" Nathan asked making his way to me.It will be odd for me to ask of his help, right?Before I knew what was happening, he grabbed me by my waist and helped me to seat on top of the car boot and he sat next to me. It felt kinda strange with this tingling feeling around my waist where he touched, maybe it's because Nolan and him have the same touch since they are both identical twins.I cleared my head
The Substitute Groom Chapter 9
Nathan's PovI came out of my room and to the hallway. Everywhere seems so busy, the servants are running up and down with decorations. Tomorrow is actually the wedding day and mom with the hired wedding planner has been so busy after the engagement ceremony because we planned on using our house as the reception venue, since our house is large enough for such things.I should be happy for my brother, but am not because this is an arranged marriage which he isn't happy about but Savannah is. It's quite hard for me to wrap my head around everything and come up with a permanent solution to this without hurting anyone. It's at this point that I wish I could get in touch with Paisley, she always helps me out in situations like this. But I am not able to get through to her, she must be very busy to think about reaching me right now.That hurts.Speaking of which. Ever since my little argument with Nolan, we haven't really talked or seen each other and tonight is his bachelor's night. We nee
The Substitute Groom Chapter 8
Nolan's Pov"I thank you all for acknowledging my invitation and showing up here tonight. Today is a very special day for us and our lovely kids." He said, giving us his best smile.Here it is, the moment I've been wishing never to come! Look at him, acting like he never forced me into doing this. "Before I proceed any further, I will love to invite my beloved son. Nolan Black." He said and everyone started clapping.Beloved son my foot!The lights turned to me along with everyone gazes, I tried to put up a small smile as I made my way to the stage. Getting up to the stage, I didn't spare a glance at my so called father. He can have the moment for today, because am sure as hell not proceeding with the God forsaking wedding ceremony!"And I will also like to welcome on this stage, my soon to be daughter in law. Savannah Wesley." He said, and everyone clapped.The lights went all over to Savannah in the crowd. She was all blushing as she made her way to us. I must admit, I have never
The Substitute Groom Chapter 7
Savannah's PovI stared at my reflection in the mirror. I am looking so beautiful in my sliver diamond sleeveless ball gown. The beautiful necklace and marching bracelet mom gave me are looking so beautiful on me, it marches with my gown.Mom had helped me packed my hair into a high bun with loose strand of my hair dancing beside my face. Forget looking all beautiful, my heart can't stop somersaulting! Today I will be getting engaged to the man I've loved all my life! I do not how to express the happiness bubbling Inside me, all I know is that I can't stop my heart from racing so much! I really miss Paisley at this happiest moments of my life.I've been trying to get through to Paisley for days now but I can't, I only received a text from her stating she is busy with work and will get back to me too. I hope to reach her soon and share all these happiness with her before my wedding day.Knock!Knock!I snapped out of my thoughts on hearing the knock on my door. I turned to see the doo
The Substitute Groom Chapter 6
Savannah's PovI glanced at my phone on the table every now and then, it's literally what I've been doing the whole day. Nolan hasn't called or texted me yet, and am so worried about it.I know Megan tried to convince me by saying he loves me, but I am still not okay with it. I will be okay with it if Nolan says that to me directly, I do not know if my confession has driven him away from me.I know Nolan is such a play boy and do not believe in this love of a thing, that was the more reason I kept my feelings away from him all these years. But when I heard about our marriage, I was so overjoyed that I had to confess my feelings to him.Now I regret it so much!It means he doesn't love me, and they probably pushed him to go into marriage with me."Savannah?"Father's voice brought me out of my thoughts. I looked up to see mom and dad's eyes on me."What's wrong dear? You haven't touched your food, why?" Dad asked.I totally forgot we were having dinner, I looked down at my food. To be
The Substitute Groom Chapter 5
Nathan's Pov"Her being in love with me has ruined everything! I do not want to get married or be disowned, I do not know what to do about this." He said, looking frustrated."You sound like marriage is a death sentence…""... because it is for me! I am not caught out for this marriage shit, I still wanna have some fun.""Getting married isn't a death sentence, Nolan. It's something beautiful if it's made well, but it can be a disaster if it isn't built well." "I do not need a lecture about marriage, I need a lecture on how to get out of this shit.""Nolan, listen, I think marriage is going to be good for you. Trust me.""No it's not, never!""You are sounding like you've got a choice in this." He is beginning to get me upset in all of this."You are beginning to sound like dad." He said, storming out of the room with a loud bang of the door.Why doesn't he understand?!Marriage is a good thing, why is he overreacting?!***I've been trying for the past two days now to reach Paisley
