The Substitute Twin Bride 174. His War, Her Escape
“Okay, I’ll have two bodyguards accompany you,” Aaron said.Rose let out a soft laugh. “No, Aaron. I want to be alone, to clear my head from all this noise. I think walking for a week will make me feel much better.”“Hundreds of kilometers? Do you want me to worry that something might happen to you?”“It’s safe there, Aaron. People go there for spiritual journeys.”Aaron fell silent for a moment. “No, I don’t want you to be alone. Just two bodyguards to watch over you. They won’t bother you. I’ll have them walk fifty meters behind you, pretending to be tourists.”“Aaron…”“I just need to make sure someone is watching over you there.”Rose gave a small smile. She knew it was the best compromise she could get from Aaron, who was so protective.“Okay, deal. As long as they don’t force me to get in a car if I get a little tired,” Rose said.Aaron smiled. He pulled Rose into his arms. “You’ll be safe there, Rose. And when you come back... you’ll return as a much stronger woman. And I’ll be
The Substitute Twin Bride 173. Sending You Away to Save You
The fire in the fireplace burned warmly, but it couldn’t chase away the cold, creeping chill Rose had felt ever since meeting her father. Her emotions were in chaos. She sat quietly in the corner of the couch, her empty gaze fixed on the fireplace across from her.Aaron sat beside her, his mind racing through every possible way to protect her.Aaron kept replaying the moment Jerry approached Rose, and he had a strong feeling Jerry wouldn’t stop there. Aaron needed to find out where Jerry was—every bit of information about Rose’s father—until he could figure out a way to deal with Jerry once and for all.The problem with Romilda wasn’t even resolved yet, and now Jerry had appeared. It seemed the sense of safety they had built was nothing but an illusion.“Rose,” Aaron called softly, his voice breaking the silence between them.Rose slowly looked up and turned toward him. Fear still lingered in her eyes, and it hurt Aaron to see her so shaken.“What is it, Aaron?” Rose asked.Aaron reac
The Substitute Twin Bride 172. The Day Jerry Returned
Rose stepped out of the coffee shop across from the office building. She tightened her cashmere coat around herself, clutching the hot cup of coffee for warmth. Her eyes quickly scanned the surroundings; the street was fairly busy with pedestrians.Since meeting Matteo yesterday, Rose had been feeling uneasy. Every shadow at the corner of her eye, or a black van passing slowly, made her flinch. Aaron had told her not to go out alone, but Rose insisted on buying coffee by herself.It was a small act of defiance—proof that she wouldn’t let fear control her life.But as she turned the corner toward the office, the hairs on the back of her neck rose. Rose felt someone following her. She quickened her pace, the sharp sound of her heels clicking faster against the concrete sidewalk.And sure enough, footsteps behind her picked up speed. Heavy steps—dragging, getting closer. Rose’s heart pounded violently as she gripped her coffee cup and quickly popped the lid open.She had already imagined
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
