The Substitute Twin Bride 161. The Man Called Jerry Baxter
Romilda stepped out of the car, waiting while the driver lowered her suitcase from the trunk. She stood beside the vehicle, restless, occasionally glancing toward the black van parked in front of a shabby nightclub that was still closed in the afternoon.Romilda had decided to follow the van driven by her father and the thugs. Eventually, it stopped here—at this club.The driver looked at her hesitantly.“Miss? Are you sure you want to stop here? I was told to make sure you get to the airport.”“Just tell them I arrived at the airport safe and sound.”“But, miss—”Romilda casually pulled out a hundred-dollar bill and handed it to the driver.“I’m already at the airport. Got it?”The driver accepted the money and nodded obediently.“Yes, miss.”Romilda pulled her trench coat tighter around her body. Her new face still felt stiff and slightly sore, but she knew she looked perfect. To the pedestrians passing by, she probably looked like a wealthy woman who had simply wandered into the wr
The Substitute Twin Bride 160. The Ghost of Their Past
Carefully, Romilda stood in front of the large mirror, her slender fingers tracing the skin of her new face. After weeks of hiding in Paris’s penthouse, the moment had finally arrived. Ever since the bandages were removed yesterday, Romilda had spent nearly all her time staring at her reflection.The face staring back at her was no longer Romilda Baxter, nor Roseanne, Rose, her twin sister.Her nose was now sharper with a slightly lifted tip. Her jawline was slimmer and more defined. Her eyes had been reshaped into foxy eyes, with filler in her lips and cheeks. The entire structure of her face had changed dramatically, even her hair.Romilda looked breathtaking—sensual, seductive, and completely unfamiliar.“Perfect.” A slow smile curled across her lips as she turned her face slowly from left to right. “Goodbye, cursed twin face. And hello… Helena.”A loud, deliberate throat-clearing came from the doorway. Paris stood there, tapping her foot impatiently, her expression a mix of disgus
The Substitute Twin Bride 159. A Place to Breathe Again
The car stopped in the quiet driveway of the mansion. Viviana’s house was one of the most elite properties in the area. Rose stepped out of the car hesitantly, feeling very small in front of such a grand home—especially after the humiliating scene at the police station earlier.Even without Alec explaining what kind of family he came from, Rose already knew the doctor belonged to an upper-class background. Coming here only made her feel worse. This was the very house where Romilda had once spread her web of deception and betrayed Viviana’s family.“Come on inside,” Alec said, carrying Rose’s suitcase while offering her a hand. “Hold on to me if you’re still dizzy.”Rose quickly shook her head. “No, no. I’m fine.”When they reached the front door, Rose stopped. Suddenly, it felt very hard to step inside.“Do you really think this is a good idea?” Rose said honestly. “I feel terrible about this, Alec. Romilda already made your mother furious. I feel like I have no right to come here.”“
The Substitute Twin Bride 158. The Wrong Prisoner
In the temporary holding cell, Rose sat on a cold metal bench, hugging her knees to her chest. She had nothing left. Her bag had been confiscated, along with her ID. The silence in the room felt suffocating.And her identity answered everything—she was a fraud in Viviana’s eyes. Rose couldn’t deny it or defend herself. Now all she could do was wait until the case was handed over to the prosecutor.Rose was certain that all this time, Romilda had been using her name to create fake identities. Now, how could she possibly defend herself while every accusation pointed straight at her?A police officer approached and stopped in front of the bars. He stared at her with a sour expression.“Miss, you get one phone call,” he said. “My advice—call your lawyer.”Rose froze. She didn’t have a lawyer. She didn’t even know who she could call.Aaron? Of course, he would refuse. Aaron wouldn’t want anything to do with her anymore. Matteo? No. Rose had already promised herself she would never get invo
The Substitute Twin Bride 157. Mistaken for a Monster
Rose pulled her coat tighter around her body as she walked aimlessly along the sidewalk. One more bus ride and she would arrive back in her old city, where the Cavanaugh family lived. But she changed her mind and got off in the neighboring town instead.Rose stared at the dark screen of her phone. If she turned it on, she could easily call Nicole or Matteo.“No… I’m done with that family. I don’t want to be involved with the Cavanaughs anymore, even if they’ve been good to me,” she murmured softly.Rose slipped the phone back into her pocket and kept walking.Her body was exhausted. All she wanted was to collapse onto a bed. Two days of traveling by intercity bus had left her body aching everywhere. But it still wasn’t as painful as her heart.Aaron’s face appeared in her mind, and a sharp pain pinched her chest. Aaron must be deeply hurt, and that kind of pain might never fully heal. He could even be traumatized—and all of it was because of her.“Aaron… I’m sorry,” Rose whispered, he
The Substitute Twin Bride 156. The Woman He Lost
Aaron leaned against the daybed. It had been over an hour, yet he hadn’t moved. His eyes were red, his face swollen, and in the silence of the room, his emotions spilled out in quiet sobs. His breathing was still heavy, but the adrenaline of his anger had begun to fade.The bedroom door opened without a knock. Suzannah walked in, her expression confused and worried. When she saw Aaron looking completely devastated, she approached and sat beside him.“What mistake did Rose make?” Suzannah asked.Aaron didn’t look at her. “She’s gone. That’s what matters.”“You kicked her out?”“Yes. She deserved it.” Aaron took a sharp breath. “She betrayed me. She had an affair with Matteo Cavanaugh.”Suzannah fell silent for a moment. Her expression darkened slightly. Something about the situation didn’t sit right with her. But before she could speak, Aaron continued.“Paris showed me the photo of them together. Rose admitted it. She even said she accidentally slept with Matteo,” Aaron scoffed bitte
