After dinner, and helping the maids clean the kitchen, Rose did not immediately return to her room. Instead, she went to Aaron's office because she needed to discuss something. After waiting two days for Aaron's mood to stabilize, Rose felt it was finally the right time to speak to her boss.

Rose knocked on the office door and entered after hearing his command. Aaron looked focused on the laptop in front of him. Morning, noon, and night—Aaron was always buried in his work.

  • The Substitute Twin Bride   203. From Replacement Bride to His Forever

    There was no grand reception, nor thousands of socialite guests or media waiting to watch. Matteo and Rose’s wedding was held in a small chapel. An intimate, warm ceremony, filled with people who truly cared about both of them.Rose walked toward the altar, wearing a low-cut silk gown with an open back. There was no veil over her face; she let everyone see her brightest, most genuine smile.At the end of the altar, Matteo stood waiting for her. Matteo’s face radiated gentleness and absolute devotion. As soon as Rose’s hand rested in his grasp, Matteo let out a long breath.Matteo had found the other half of his soul, and he would never let her go again.“You look so beautiful,” Matteo whispered as they stood facing each other.Rose’s eyes shimmered with happiness. “And you look very charming.”The exchange of vows took place solemnly without interruption or any further escapes. When the priest declared the

  • The Substitute Twin Bride   202. The End of Romilda

    Rose stood behind a thick glass wall layered with protective wire. Beside her, Matteo stood upright like a concrete pillar. Matteo’s hand held Rose’s tightly, his thumb occasionally brushing the back of her hand.Actually, Matteo opposed the visit; he did not want to see Rose become traumatized or shocked. However, Rose insisted—she had to finish this matter.“We can do this another time, Rose. Or not at all,” Matteo whispered, trying once more to convince her.But Rose shook her head firmly. “No, Matteo. I have to see Romilda for the last time. After this, I promise I will never mention her name again.”“Alright.” Matteo let out a resigned breath.Matteo pulled Rose’s body closer to his side again, wrapping his arm around her waist. “Don’t be afraid. I’m here with you.”“I’m not afraid.”Two nurses in front of the door immediately opened it for Ro

  • 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 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 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

    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

    Paris’s eyes landed on Romilda lounging on the penthouse couch, casually watching TV. Empty glasses and snack wrappers were scattered across the coffee table. Irritated, Paris deliberately stomped her heels, making the sound echo through the room.Romilda heard it loud and clear. She just didn’t ca
