Rose tried to pull away, but Matteo tightened his grip on her arm. Matteo locked his eyes on hers, trapping her under his spell. Rose lowered her head, her body trembling as Matteo’s hand trailed from her arm to her neck.

“Romilda…” His voice was low and heavy, as though saying her name was a burden. “Look at me.”

This time, his gaze was softer, yet it still left Rose restless and unable to steady herself.

"I'm not the right person, Matteo. I’m not who you think I am,” Rose whispered.

  • The Substitute Twin Bride   201. The Night He Came for Me

    Jerry staggered backward; he still managed to look at Rose. The old man’s lips moved, forming a word without sound: Run. After that, Jerry’s body truly collapsed to the floor with a muffled thud.Rose froze in place; she did not turn and run… instead, she stood frozen. Then Rose’s body slid to the floor; she cried in restraint with her body trembling. Rose crawled toward Jerry, not caring about Rocco’s men approaching her.With trembling hands, Rose lifted her father’s head that had already gone limp. Rose hugged him tightly.Even though Jerry was a criminal with a bad history, he decided to do one good thing at the end of his life. Jerry wanted to protect Rose and atone for his sins, even if it meant sacrificing his life.At that moment, Rose felt the world was very unfair. She had already lost her mother, and now her father, too. Even though Jerry had already repented.Meanwhile Romilda? Instead, Rose

  • The Substitute Twin Bride   200. The Price of Escape

    “What exactly are you going to do, Dad?” Rose asked.“I know I’ve made a lot of mistakes with you and Romilda. But I won’t stand by and watch you get taken away, Rose. I’m going to save you.”“Dad, what can you even do?”“At the very least, I can talk to Romilda. Or… whatever her name is now.”Rose shook her head. “Dad, if Romilda finds out, you’ll get dragged into this, too. You won’t survive either.”Jerry fell silent. Rose was right. If anything, he wouldn’t be able to save her at all. They could both end up dead at Romilda’s hands.“Don’t worry. I promise I’ll get you out of here. For now, you need to hold on. Eat whatever they give you so you’ll have the strength. Do you understand, Rose?”Rose nodded. “Okay, Dad.”Hesitantly, awkwardly, Jerry patted her shoulder. “I’m sorry, Ro

  • The Substitute Twin Bride   199. Four Days in Darkness

    The apartment door was already open when Matteo and the police arrived. Matteo looked panicked and terrified, his eyes darting across every corner of the dim, musty room.“Rose! Rose, where are you? Rose!” Matteo’s voice cracked with panic.The police searched the entire place, but they found no one. They reported signs of movement through the back door, but there were no surveillance cameras nearby.Matteo went weak, his gaze fixed on the floor. There lay Rose’s handbag. All her belongings were still inside, including the phone they had tracked.“No… no… no…” Matteo’s voice caught in his throat.He dropped to his knees, grabbed the bag, and held it tightly. He had arrived too late. Rose was gone.“This was a trap. God, Rose… why didn’t you tell me about Romilda?” Matteo whispered in disbelief.Someone approached, and Matteo looked up. It was Detec

  • The Substitute Twin Bride   198. Captured

    The smell of cheap cigarette smoke stung Rose’s nose the moment she stepped into the dingy apartment lobby. No one was there, just a row of dented mailboxes and crude graffiti peeling off the walls.Her heart pounded, matching the echo of her footsteps on the concrete stairs. The elevator was broken, of course. So Rose had to climb to the fourth floor on shaky legs, holding her breath.Every shadow in the stairwell made her alert.“This is for Romilda,” Rose whispered, gripping her bag strap tightly. “She’s your sister, your own blood. You can’t just let her die.”Rose reached the apartment door and turned the handle. It opened with a loud creak. The inside was dark, the curtains tightly shut.

  • The Substitute Twin Bride   197. Walking Into the Trap

    The atmosphere in the Cavanaugh living room was lively. Nicole was busy calling catering vendors, while Letty was choosing fabric samples with Anais. Meanwhile, Rose was occupied looking through wedding cakes.Actually, Rose wanted a simple wedding, but Anais insisted that even a simple one still needed the essentials, like a wedding cake and beautiful decorations.“I think champagne would look nice for the tablecloths, don’t you? I know Matteo wants something simple, but the Cavanaugh version of simple still means Baccarat crystal and imported flowers,” Nicole boasted.Rose let out a soft laugh. “I’ll leave it to you, of course.”“This is your wedding, Rose. You need to make sure everything is perfect.” Anais looked at her. “I want you and Matteo to be happy, no matter how small or big this is.”Rose nodded shyly. “Alright, Anais. I’m sorry for troubling you, and Nicole and Le

  • The Substitute Twin Bride   196. The Game Has Begun

    Rose’s logic screamed that this was a trap. Not just Aaron, but even Matteo and Alec had warned her that Romilda was dangerous. But another part of her began to waver.Jerry had always been known as a dangerous man. It wasn’t impossible that he was hunting Romilda down to sell her to the mafia. Or even traffic her overseas.Rose knew just how cruel their father was. He was capable of anything to hurt his daughters. It would be better for Romilda to be caught by the police than to fall into Jerry’s hands.Rose glanced at her watch. It was almost three in the afternoon. The restaurant was less than five minutes away. At the very least, she could walk there.I need to make sure what’s really going on with Romilda, Rose thought, torn between confusion and anxiety.Her sense of responsibility as a sister, her fatal weakness, took over. She quickly grabbed her handbag and approached Letty and Nicole.“I&rsquo

  • The Substitute Twin Bride   151. The Weight of Guilt

    When Rose returned to the mansion, she went straight to Aaron’s room. As usual, even while recovering, Aaron was still busy with work. Rose sighed softly and moved the laptop from Aaron’s lap, placing it on the empty side of the bed.“You’re supposed to be recovering,” Rose said. “Can’t you loosen

  • The Substitute Twin Bride   150. A Familiar Stranger

    The lobby of the Region Institute looked more like a five-star hotel than a prestigious private hospital. Behind the luxurious facilities and staggering fees, one fact was unmistakable: many new faces were created at Region Institute Hospital.The high price didn’t just cover fla

  • The Substitute Twin Bride   149. The Choice That Broke Her Heart

    The drive out of the small town was slow, the rain still pouring heavily on the road. Inside the car, only the soft flow of classical music filled the space. Matteo and Rose didn’t say a word to each other.And the silence felt suffocating.Rose sat stiffly in the passenger seat, watching raindrops

  • The Substitute Twin Bride   148. The Goodbye Choice

    Outside, the storm had finally calmed, but Rose and Matteo were still stuck at the motel. The longer she stayed there, the tighter the pressure in Rose’s chest became. Her guilt burned hotter by the minute, especially after the call with Aaron earlier that afternoon.On the bed, Rose stared at the
