The Substitute Twin Bride 171. The Kidnapping Plot
Romilda’s hand covered the phone screen, and it went instantly dark. She bit her lower lip in frustration, her expression hardening. Her breathing grew uneven, her chest rising and falling beneath the nightgown that hugged her.Seeing Rose happy made Romilda furious. Dissatisfaction and jealousy boiled inside her.“Damn it! That bitch!” she hissed, throwing the phone to the side of the bed.At the same time, the bedroom door opened, and Rocco walked in. The man closed the door, his hardened expression fixed on Romilda with suspicion.“What’s wrong?” Rocco asked coldly.He climbed onto the bed and, without hesitation, dropped kisses along Romilda’s neck. Meanwhile, Romilda had no interest in being intimate with Rocco that night. Because of Rose, her mood was completely ruined.Romilda had already gotten rid of Rocco’s wife, and the mafia boss had truly fallen in love with her. Every night, they slept togeth
The Substitute Twin Bride 170. The Threat That Binds Them
Matteo went straight up to Aaron’s office, and as soon as he stepped inside, he found Rose standing beside Aaron, who was seated behind his desk. Rose stopped mid-conversation and turned toward the doorway when Matteo appeared.“Good morning,” Matteo greeted politely as he walked in.Aaron stood and approached Matteo, and the two men shook hands. Aaron motioned toward the couch, inviting Matteo to sit.“Have a seat, Matteo,” Aaron said.The atmosphere between the three of them grew slightly awkward. Rose sat beside Aaron, and he immediately took her hand and placed it on his lap. Aaron held Rose’s hand, his thumb gently stroking the engagement ring wrapped around her finger.Rose looked beautiful, but her expression was anxious. Her eyes kept shifting between her fiancé and Matteo.Matteo’s handsome appearance had not faded. He still looked striking, but there were clear dark circles under his eyes. He looked sleep-deprived, his mind completely consumed by thoughts of Romilda.There w
The Substitute Twin Bride 169. Love Paused, War Begins
Paris’s confession in front of Matteo made his already troubled expression turn pale. Paris kept her head down, sobbing uncontrollably, while Nicole sat beside her, wrapping an arm around her shoulders.“I’m so sorry, Matteo. But I don’t have a choice,” Paris cried.“You don’t need to apologize.” Matteo looked at her with empathy. “Your life could’ve been in danger because of Romilda. I’m just grateful you’re safe, Paris.”“But because of me… everything’s a mess. Oh, my God!”“No, Paris. You only did it because you had no choice.”Matteo regretted what Paris had done, but it was too late now. What he needed to do was find out where Romilda was. The problem was that finding her with a new face and a new identity wouldn’t be easy.There was no guarantee Romilda was still using the name Helena Smith, like Paris had revealed. Rose’s twin sister, who was like a devil, always had countless ways to escape and achieve her goals.What was certain was that Romilda now had someone protecting her
The Substitute Twin Bride 168. The Secret Paris Couldn’t Keep
The moment Nicole saw Paris arrive, pale and shaken, she grew concerned. This wasn’t like Paris, nothing like her usual self. Her normally flawless appearance looked disheveled.Paris’s eyes were swollen, dark circles underneath showing she hadn’t slept. Even her outfit, usually perfectly coordinated, clashed in tone. On top of that, her hands trembled slightly when she hugged Nicole.Still, Nicole didn’t immediately ask what was wrong. Calmly, she led Paris inside and brought her into the living room.As soon as the maid set down drinks and snacks on the table, Paris grabbed her glass and drained it in one go, as if she had just run a marathon before arriving at the Cavanaugh residence.“Paris? What happened? You look like you just got robbed,” Nicole commented.Paris looked up, and the moment her eyes met Nicole’s, whatever fragile composure she had left was completely shattered. She suddenly let out a soft sob, which quickly escalated into loud crying.“Worse!” Paris cried out.Nic
The Substitute Twin Bride 167. The Proposal That Broke Matteo
Matteo had just finished an online video meeting with several clients and finally let out a breath of relief. Business was still running smoothly as always, but up until that moment, his heart hadn’t been at ease. His search still hadn’t produced any results. There was still no clue where Rose was.Matteo pushed back from his chair and walked toward the window. He stood there, staring out at the manicured garden below.If Rose hadn’t lost their baby, maybe that garden would have been filled with laughter by now.Bang!The door to Matteo’s study suddenly flew open without a knock. Nicole stormed in, looking startled—but not frightened or panicked. Quite the opposite.“Matteo! Oh my God, you have to see this right now!” Nicole exclaimed excitedly.She had clearly been running. She lifted the phone in her hand. On the screen, a social media app was playing a video on a loop.Matteo didn’t even look. “What am I supposed to see?” he asked calmly.“It’s Rose!”Nicole rushed over to him and
The Substitute Twin Bride 166. The Proposal on the Rooftop
Aaron was already standing in front of Rose when they arrived at the hospital’s rooftop garden. For a moment, silence hung between them, while around them, patients, nurses, and families were enjoying the morning air.“Rose… please forgive me. I swear to God, I made a terrible mistake,” Aaron said, his voice breaking.Rose shook her head slowly, tears already running down her cheeks. “Aaron, you don’t have to do this. I’m the wrong one. You shouldn’t have come all this way just to—”“I had to!” Aaron cut in quickly.He stepped forward, closing the distance between them. Rose wrapped her arms around herself, feeling both ashamed and overwhelmed.“I can’t live with this guilt,” Aaron said firmly. “I did the stupidest and cruelest thing in my entire life. I let my anger and jealousy control me. Rose, I was afraid of losing you… But in the end, I pushed you away myself.”“You’re not the one to blame, Aaron. I’m here trying to make up for my mistakes. I can’t go back to you after everythin
