Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Substitute Bride: Banished with the Alpha's babies: Kabanata 91 - Kabanata 100

 ALPHA WILL’S POV “Here is the wine you asked for, Alpha.” Camila uttered as she served both Uncle Thompson and I a glass of wine each.“Thanks.” I appreciated her, and as she was done, she left our presence.“You really got yourself a good maid, Will. So fast, reliable, and knows how to appeal.” Uncle Thompson complimented Camila behind her back.“I know right? And that’s why I didn’t send her away.” Also, that’s why I tossed her over to Nadia, because I knew she was going to take good care of Nadia without I having to worry about anything. If Nadia and I had a baby, it would be no big deal to leave our child or children in Camila’s hands. “So, how has business been? Noticed that you’ve not been signing new deals in a long while.”“Uhm… About that, I’ll begin to sign

 NADIA’S POV My eyes opened widely, and my lips parted slightly as the shocking words which Thomas had just said, settled deep in me. Did I hear him wrong or he was actually serious about what he just said? “Excuse me?”“I know you’re shocked, and you weren’t expecting this, neither did you ever imagine that you’re mingling with someone who knows you more than you think. But I just felt I should tell you, just so you can feel free and better to open up to me. I’m always ready to listen to you, Nadia.” Thomas uttered, with a look of concern I assume to be fake, and then he held my hand lightly.“Let go of me!” I raised my voice as I withdrew my hand from his and moved a few steps away from him. The fact that he was someone who knew my past made me see him in a different light. If he knew all along, and didn’t say a word abou

 NADIA’S POV The sound of the clock, ticking, added to the gloomy atmosphere as I sat on the sofa, staring into blank space. The news of Will getting married to Nina was still a shock to me, and I was finding it difficult to understand how that could have happened. Had Will forgotten me so soon? And even if he did, did it have to be Nina of all people for him to choose as a wife? It felt like betrayal to me. More like he never really had feelings for me, but just needed to get married and now that I was gone, he went back to the initial person he wanted to get married to, before me. But then, judging from the way Will never liked Nina’s presence, it made me have second thoughts. He couldn’t have gotten married to her because he caught feelings. Then, how did she manage to have her way so easily? I laid on the sofa, now facing the ceiling, and then I sighed. 

 NADIA’S POV As we landed in California, I held both my kids firmly, ensuring that they were safe with me, then hired a cab to drive me off to the hotel I booked, already. “Mommy, where is this place? You didn’t tell us we’ll be going on a vacation.” Zelda said as she stared the sceneries while the driver was taking us through places which I had once passed through. I didn’t want to explain anything in details as they were too young to understand the complicated situation. It would also break their little hearts to hear the whole painful truth. “We aren’t on vacation. We are here to pay our last respects to someone very dear to me which I know.”“When you say last respect, you mean the person is dead?” Zayn questioned, realizing what I meant.“Yes.”“Is that why you were crying back a

 NADIA'S POV. I wondered why a totally different person would open the door to Penelope's house. She looked nothing like Penelope, so I dismissed the thought of it being a distant relative.  Or had Penelope gotten herself a new friend? Anyway, I decided to look past it, as long as I got to see Penelope. "Good day." I greeted, as the woman watched me with large hazel eyes. "Uh, is Penelope home?" I asked, and her eyebrows knitted together.  "Penelope?" She asked in a soft voice, like she'd never heard the name before. "Who's that?" I stared at her for a while, not knowing the right word to say. How was I to answer her question?  What did she mean? Why was she asking who Penelope was? What was she doing there if she didn't know Penelope? I took another look at the house o
