Rose had the lab results in her hands that morning. She sat across from the doctor, her heart in turmoil. The doctor explained her mother’s condition in detail.

In short, recovery was far from possible. To even hope for improvement, Rose would need to spend a significant amount of funds.

Rose felt like her legs were about to give out. Would Romilda help her again?

“Doctor, will my mother recover soon?” Rose asked anxiously.

"We still need to monitor her condition, Miss."

Rose could only nod, fe

  • 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   195. Romilda Is Coming

    The news appeared on the phone screen: “Matteo Cavanaugh’s True Love Is Roseanne Baxter.”A collage photo of Rose and Matteo showed them smiling brightly, their story framed like a sweet fairytale romance.Romilda’s eyes locked onto the screen, her face slowly turning red.Her life was perfectly fine. She lacked nothing. Rocco gave her everything, along with high-level security. But all that luxury felt like trash to Romilda.“Bitch!”Romilda hurled her phone onto the floor until the screen cracked. She didn’t care about the damn thing anyway. Rocco would just buy her a new one.Her breathing turned heavy, her chest rising and falling as anger burned deep inside her. Seeing Matteo choose Rose filled her with rage.Because Rose always took everything Romilda wanted… everything she had ever hoped for.“You think you’ve won, Rose? You think everything’s go

  • The Substitute Twin Bride   194. The Cavanaugh Scandal

    Just as Matteo was about to leave for the office after breakfast, Letty suddenly shot up from her chair. Her face turned pale as she stared at her phone screen.“This is insane! You guys need to see this,” Letty said, her voice shaking.She immediately handed her phone to Nicole. The youngest, who had only been frowning at first, suddenly went just as pale as Letty.On the screen was a photo of Rose running from Aaron’s wedding, along with an old photo of Romilda. Matteo’s photo was placed right between them. The headline was bold: “The Cavanaugh Scandal: Greedy Billionaire Wants Both Sisters?”The article claimed that Romilda had a twin sister all along. Now that Romild

  • The Substitute Twin Bride   193. Where She Finally Belonged

    The towering wrought-iron gate swung open as Andy, the security guard, unlocked it. The moment Rose stepped out of the car, Andy stared in disbelief. He walked over to her with Matteo.“Sir… ma’am…” Andy looked awkward. “Welcome, M-Mrs. Rose.”Rose smiled. “Thank you. It’s good to see you’re doing well, Andy.”“Yes, ma’am.”Matteo guided Rose toward the mansion. Emotions stirred inside her. That house had once felt like a prison, something terrifying.It was where she had been forced to play the role of a fake wife and cover for Romilda’s lies. In that same mansion, she had been ignored, insulted, mocked, and suspected.But this time, she came as herself. Roseanne Baxter. Not Romilda’s shadow anymore.At the front door, the maids were already waiting, as if they had been prepared to welcome her. Rose even glanced at Matteo, making sure he hadn’t

  • The Substitute Twin Bride   192. The Softest Goodbye

    The silence in that luxurious mansion felt suffocating, far more painful than the chaos on the street earlier. Hundreds of flower stems, decorating nearly every room and corridor, now looked like funeral arrangements, not a wedding.In her room, with trembling hands, Rose tried to undo the buttons on the back of her wedding dress. The gown that was supposed to symbolize happiness now felt like armor crushing her chest, making it hard to breathe.A knock sounded at the door, and Rose immediately turned around. The door opened before she could say “come in.” It wasn’t like she had any right left in that house anyway.Suzannah stood in the doorway, her expression calm. Rose was the one startled; she hadn’t expected Suzannah to come see her.Aaron’s mother was still wearing her elegant dress. Though her expression was composed, her eyes showed she had been crying.“Suzannah…” Rose’s voice caught.Suzann

    Matteo’s heartbeat raced faster as he arrived at the hotel. Without wasting another second, he rushed into the lobby and went straight to the front desk. There was something he needed to make sure of.“Has my wife returned?” Matteo asked.The receptionist nodded. “Yes, sir. Not long ago, I believe,

    They sat together in the private lounge, Rose positioned between Alec and Aaron as an unspoken buffer. The atmosphere was tense but restrained. Alec tried to keep his voice professional, choosing his words carefully. Aaron, however, made no effort to hide his displeasure. His jaw was tight, his p

    That kiss carried a surge of longing mixed with aching pain straight into Rose’s heart. She missed Matteo with everything she had, body and soul. So deeply that she stopped thinking clearly and kissed him back, harder, deeper.Rose’s arms wrapped around Matteo, her lips turning demanding, wanting m

    Romilda’s eyes rolled in irritation when she noticed another woman wearing an almost identical dress. The color choice was far too similar, even though Romilda’s gown was clearly more revealing and glamorous. She hurried toward the restroom, nearly slamming the door shut behind her.“Matteo, that b
