บททั้งหมดของ Her Substitute Groom: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

Chapter 1 Janice POVSeeing how pretty I looked while staring at my reflection in the mirror as I added make-up to my face, I couldn't help the smile that laced up my lips. Being pretty is something to be proud of, especially having a sexy goddess body as me. I'm not bragging, but I didn't really need anyone to tell me that I'm one hella sexy young lady. 5'8 tall, slim with round butt and full chest, long black curly hair, long natural eyelashes, thick eyebrows, sharp jawline, pointed nose, sexy brown eyes, sexy lips that men drools over, and a sweet contagious smile to compliment my look. This has been one of the reasons my client wouldn't stop going crazy about me.Again, I was getting ready to meet one of my clients, a new one at that. Unlike every other random clients I have, this one was like a big fish for me. We met at the club last night and scheduled to meet today at his penthouse. I didn't get to see his face very well yesterday since it was in the night, but I could tell f

Chapter 3 Janice POV One week after the incident and still counting. I was expecting Mr. Connor to send the cops after me, but I guess I was lucky since there hasn't been anything like that. The sound of my ringing phone echoed in the room, and I couldn't help the smile that laced up my lips when I saw the caller. It was the woman I saved from getting hit by a truck one week ago. After the incident that day, she gave me her card and asked me to call her, which I did, and guess what? She invited me to her house and she is super wealthy. Her house looked like another planet on its own, and trust me, the image was still living rent-free in my head even after five days of being there. I wished to be there even if it was only once. "Hey, Janice," Her gentle voice sounded through the phone, and I smiled as I sat up on the bed. "Hi, ma'am. How have you been? Are your bruises gone now?" I asked her with concern. Well, I may be a bad person, but I'm still nice, and I knew that. "I'm

Chapter 5 Janice POV I got dressed for the date I'm having with Carl tonight. After the incident that day, me and Carl have kept in touch, and we've hung out for some time. I was able to take care of Connor, and I know if I continue to deny knowing him, everything will be cool. My phone beeped, and I checked to see that it was a text from Carl. 'I'm waiting for you outside' After reading his message, I checked myself out in the mirror one more time to be sure I was good to go, leaving my apartment afterward. I live in a one-room flat apartment since I lived alone. I soon got outside where I met his car parked at the front of my house, and I got in. "Did I keep you waiting?" I asked him as I fastened my seatbelt, but he shook his head as he smiled at me. "Not really. You look gorgeous," He complimented me, and I smiled at him. "Thank you," I replied to him before the drive started. The drive to the fancy restaurant was peaceful and silent, and we soon arrived. Since the

Chapter 7 Janice POV My heart pounded hard against my chest as I sat on the edge of the bed while listening to the sound of the running shower. Many thoughts ran through my mind, and I couldn't help but shake nervously. My life took another turn for the worse in a space of seconds. "Ugh! What do I do? I can't stay here. He is going to kill me if I stay here as his wife," I mumbled as I ruffled my hair crazily as I sprang up and paced restlessly in the room, thinking of any possible solution, but I couldn't think straight or come up with anything as my head was blank. I hurried over to the door and tried to open it, but it was locked from inside and the key was not even inside. "Damnit!" I cursed under my breath as my heart sank into my stomach. The shower finally stopped running, and I didn't need anyone to tell me that he would be out soon, and that only made me more terrified. As expected, the bathroom door finally opened, but I turned my back to him s

Chapter 9 Janice POV I scoffed for the fifth time as I stood in the garden with my hands on my waist. The view here was supposed to be called beautiful, but I couldn't even think of that because of the shit going on in my head. "Ugh! That guy is a real bastard. So this wasn't because of me, but his brother? How could he get me involved, huh?" I mumbled and scoffed because all this doesn't make any sense to me. The sound of the footsteps behind me pulled my attention, and I turned to find the youngest brother. I mean, Chase. We have only talked a few times since I've been coming here even before I moved in yesterday. "Hi, sister-in-law," He smiled at me. I've noticed how different he was from every other person in the family. Unlike Connor, he smiled a lot, much more than Carl does too. "Oh, good evening," I greeted him as he came to stand beside me, and he nodded his head. An awkward silence assumed the atmosphere as we both stared into space. I was nervous and curious ab
