บททั้งหมดของ The Substitute Bride of the Mafia Tycoon: บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

It’s been a week since he treated me like his wife. He’s been caring for me and keeps on sending messages to my social media accounts. I wanted to ignore the feeling that it was starting to grow, but deep inside my heart, I couldn’t. It’s getting deeper and deeper every day because of what he’s doing and I’m afraid I can love him freely without acting like Rose.I mentally shook my head and focused on my novel. I’ve been revising the chapters because I’m not satisfied with the scenes as if it happened too fast and I’m not a fan of that. I want it to be slow-paced because I want to build it slowly.“How’s your relationship with him?” Ciara asked.We’re currently having a FaceTime because she knew that I can’t get out of my room because of my novel so we’ve been talking to our social media so we can’t miss a thing in our daily lives.“We’re good. Everything went smoothly but sometimes, he’s sweeter than usual and I can’t help but feel awkward because I’m not used to that,” I replied.“T

Third-Person Point of View Zeno and Annalise decided to drive home right away. Zeno’s having a second thought about calling his friend, who had a profession as a doctor, to report what happened these past few days. He knew what was happening and he couldn’t just let it slide. He glances at Annalise, who’s now playing on her phone to check if she’s now okay. Annalise felt someone staring at her, so she immediately glimpsed at Zeno, which caused him to avoid her gaze and focus on the road. “Why?” she asked, then placed her phone on her lap. Annalise seemed confused at his actions lately, especially when he began to accept her as his wife. She admits that it makes her heart flutter, but she doesn’t even know what was the reason behind his actions. “I’m just checking you out if you are now okay,” he simply retorted. His hands are still quivering, but he tries his best not to make it obvious. He cleared his throat. “Do you want to eat something?” Annalise was astonished at what she hea

“Zeno,” Thaddeus greeted when he arrived at his condo.Elijah looked at his friend, who looked tired and cold. He was clenching his jaw because he could still remember how her face turned pale and how her forehead wrinkled when she felt her head start to ache.“Zeno!” Jake hissed when he saw how drowned he was in his thoughts.Zeno jumped in awe when he heard a familiar voice call him. He roamed his eyes at Thaddeus’ condo and saw his friends worried about him. Realization hits his senses to wake up from that nightmare. There’s a reason why he called them all to bring down the person who did all of this.“You seem drowned in your thoughts, Zeno,” Knight announced and simply drank the wine in his glass. “Care to share what happened?”Zeno didn’t hesitate to share what’s bothering him these past few days. He’s been with them ever since so why would he hide his problem if they were also involved before?“It’s a good thing that there is now progress in her situation,” Jake uttered, breaki

“Thaddeus, there have been three white SUVs following us ever since we left my house,” Zeno said and glanced at Annalise for a moment just to check if she was still wearing her headphones.Annalise loves to use headphones or earphones whenever she’s traveling. The main reason is that she needs to isolate herself to imagine some scenarios that will fit her novel.“What do you mean?” Thaddeus inquired. His forehead is now crumpled because he can’t understand what his friend is saying.As far as he remembers, they deployed some of their bodyguards since they couldn’t trust Zeno’s bodyguards. They could sense danger in their aura, especially since they left Annalise when she met her friend.“They are not your bodyguards. You all lend me fifty bodyguards, right? You also gave me their information,” Zeno explained and fixed his eyes on the road while driving slowly. He’s currently thinking of a plan for how to escape them, but every time he drives fast, they always follow his car.“Before w

“Here’s your ramen. I add two eggs, dried seaweed, then dumplings as toppings—”“It’s so good!” Annalise exclaimed when the soup touched her tongue. “How did you make it?”Zeno smirked at his wife, who was now amazed at the ramen he made for her. “It’s a secret.”Annalise pouted her lips and rolled her eyes at him. “Selfish!”Zeno laughed at her remark and just shrugged his shoulders off. Now that he remembered, he used to cook for her because Annalise loved seeing him in the kitchen, wearing an apron.Thinking about those old times makes Zeno smile, especially since Annalise is still the same as before. The only difference is that she lost her memories because of the incident.Zeno is still happy, even if she can’t remember him. At least Annalise was now lowering her guard and being able to show herself, just like before.Their dinner went smoothly. They are sharing different ideas for Annalise’s passion for writing, which Zeno supports.“Why don’t you try to write a novel that has a
