CEO's Substitute Wife のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 131 - チャプター 140

Three days have passed since Petra escaped from the dungeon of the Arrabal estate with Martín's help; however, everyone believes she died in the fire, as human bones were found among the ashes and there was no one else at the scene but her. Although it still couldn't be determined how the fire started.She arrived in Zimbron that same day. The doctors of her brother Fidel Alonso have been taking care of her and he has been informed of the rare and serious illness his sister suffers from. He only saw her for a few minutes and couldn't bear the impression and disgust that her appearance caused him. He had to leave the room immediately to avoid vomiting.Petra's skin is completely rotten, with worms in some parts of her body. Her hair has completely disappeared and most of her teeth have fallen out. She is like a walking skeleton from a horror event.Her pains are so intense at times that she vomits coagulated and foul-smelling blood until she faints. Some say it is a miracle that she is

At the moment Adelaide puts foot on the first step, a strange woman pulls her hair and takes her hostage. Egil rushes towards them and manages to free her, but a bullet pierces Adelaide's chest as she tries to escape. A loud noise deafens everyone in that moment, there are screams and fires everywhere in the blink of an eye.Egil manages to cover his wife as a shield when she falls to the ground, while Gage takes Eleonor's hand and pulls the nanny to the floor to avoid being hit by a bullet. Irene falls behind some armchairs with Gaspar in her arms and hits her head, causing a bleeding cut on her forehead.A bloody battle breaks out between the attackers and the clan's guards while Adelaide starts to bleed out on the floor. Egil tries with all his strength to protect her, but many men surround them at once.The attack is simultaneous in the three estates belonging to the Arrabal clan and in the club where they were all gathered for dinner. Neither Gage nor Benedict expected an attack

Inside the Arrabal estate, after a few minutes of travel, Samuel arrives and can see all the damage that has been caused. Although the security personnel managed to subdue the attackers, there are too many dead and destruction in their wake.Nora is seated in a chair when Samuel arrives. She looks at him as if she had been expecting him, and she already has several bags with jars prepared and ready on the table to attend to the wounded."Is Mr. Benedict alive?" The woman's question leaves Samuel puzzled for a few seconds, but he is not surprised, as he has seen them speak on several occasions and it is clear that they get along well."He is in the hospital with Mrs. Adelaide and the boss. Both of them are badly injured. Mr. Benedict also received several graze wounds, but he will survive."Nora nods more calmly. Together, they tour the estate to analyze the situation. Apparently, everything is already calm, but he finds it hard to trust. He gathers all the surviving men and makes sure

A soft and continuous sob escapes Benedict upon hearing that. A wrinkled hand rests on his shoulder to contain him."Cry as much as you want, Benedict. It's normal to feel pain for the loss of our loved ones. Just don't forget that there is someone, blood of your blood, who needs you. Don't let yourself be defeated now.""I want to see him."Nora signals to two of the guards stationed there and they help him to stand up. They walk step by step until they reach a large hall where some servants are preparing the place where his brother will be laid out.Samuel is standing firm in front of the door where Egil's lifeless body is in a coffin, watching every movement of the young women.Egil's face is peaceful, so peaceful that it hurts.Benedict's pain upon seeing his brother's corpse is impossible to hide.The young women in charge of preparing the place step aside when he raises a hand asking everyone to leave the room."Remember that you need to rest, Benedict," Nora says by his side. "

"Why are you asking that?" Benedict looks at her, confused. "You are still the lady of this house. I just want to protect you, protect the children, it's what Egil would have wanted. I don't think this discussion between us is necessary right now.""It is a necessary discussion, Benedict. My husband was killed and many others. They destroyed everything, if that's not reason enough for you and me to talk, I don't know what to say.""Adelaide...""My nanny is dead. They killed her in cold blood," Adelaide begins to sob. "They killed many people. They will come for me and my children if they know we survived. They are innocent.""That won't happen, my love, I promise you," Benedict runs his fingers through his long hair. "You're completely right to be anxious and upset, but we must remain calm, carefully consider every step we take from now on. We must be together in this, fighting for nothing doesn't help us.""I'm scared...""As long as you're here with me, nothing will happen to you.
