Lahat ng Kabanata ng Substitute Wife for the Mafia King: Kabanata 431 - Kabanata 437

"No way! I rather stay single," Diana said as she waved her hand to dismiss my idea as if it was too wild to come true. "Bradon wants to get married next week. Everything is moving so fast, and I'm not sure how to feel..." I confessed before letting out a sigh."What is there to worry about? You two have been living as if you're practically married already," Diana told me reassuringly. "I don't know about that..." I mumbled. I wanted to believe in my sister's words that everything would work out and that I shouldn't worry. However, the truth was, I wasn't sure how my relationship with Bradon would work out. I had always been by his side as Anthony's stand-in wife. That meant that perhaps I didn't quite know how things would work out between us when I became his wife without living in Anthony's shadow. "I'm sure that if Bradon had the guts to propose to you, he must have figured everything out already. He doesn't seem like an irresponsible guy, although he can be quite reckless and

"I don't know. Maybe that was part of it. Then very soon, I found out that it was actually Bradon," I said in a soft voice. I could still vividly remember that day that I walked down the aisle in my sister's place thinking that I was about to marry the man of my dreams. A smile tugged at the cornes of my lips when I thought that the truth wasn't quite far from what I had in mind at that moment. That sham of a wedding truly did lead me to eventually marry the man of my dreams. "You're not supposed to know about him..." Anthony said.His voice sounded unusually low and dark that it sent a shiver down my spine. It was at that moment that I truly realized that Anthony probably held a grudge against his brother and me. "I'm actually very glad that I got to know him. By that, I mean the real version of him and him as a person while he wasn't just taking you place," I replied before giving Anthony a pointed look.Anthony looked surprised, and that was when I knew for certain that he had n

"My only brother is getting married, so ofcourse I'll be there. Congratulations on the wedding. I wish you both true happiness," Anthony said before flashing me a gentlemanly smile. "Thank you..." I said all that I could say. I wanted to tell him to quickly patch things up with his brother because nothing good could ever come from a conflict, but I coudn't bring myself to say anything more. It was unfortunate that these twisted love triangles existed. They were not just hard to deal with, but one would never know how long-lasting the effect of heartbreak and disappointment would be. After wishing me a safe journey back, we parted ways for the day. I was certain that the next time that I would get to see Anthony would be at my big day. As I made my way to arrange other preparations for the upcoming wedding, I tried my best to push the look of hurt and disappointment on Anthony's face away from my mind. It might take a while until I could completely forget it all, but I was determine

Bradon looked sincerely apologetic and that made it very hard for me to blame him for anything. It was true that the organizers did most of the work anyways. Although he looked like he wanted to do more, I doubted that when it really came to it how much he could actually contribute to preparing a wedding. "I want to get as much work out of the way so that when the time comes nothing and no one will disturb the wedding or distract me from it. Then after that, I wanted time for the two of us to enjoy a peaceful honeymoon together. Just the two of us," Bradon said. His voice and his words soothed my feelings of anxiety. I had a hunch that Bradon was working so hard to ensure that he would have some time to spend with me. Hearing about the honeymoon surprised me in a very pleasant way. "I guess this would be our second honeymoon in a way," I said as I recalled the first honeymoon that we went on together.So much had happened between then and now that I was starting to lose count of al
