Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Alpha's Forced Substitute Bride: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

Trinity's POVI didn't get the money from Marisa to pay for Maci's medical fees. It made me frustrated.I looked at Antoine, who was typing something on his phone. He was so focused on his phone that he didn't notice I was observing him.His jacket and trousers were worn and faded. But they were clean and coordinated so well that it made him not look like a bludger but with some kind of charm.I even once thought that he might have chosen his clothes deliberately within a limited budget. He might be born with a good taste.I couldn't help but wonder if I could borrow some money from him. But almost immediately, I thought the idea was too ridiculous. It was just a nominal marriage between Antoine and I. How could I borrow money from him just after we married and after we agreed that we could not interfere in each other's business?Not to mention that Antoine couldn't have extra money to lend to me. He didn't even have a job.And how did I explain to him why I needed so much money and I

Trinity's POVAfter I left the Radiance Design, I immediately ran to catch the bus.I had to get back home before Antoine did, because I didn't want him to find out that I had come out to have the interview.Fortunately, when I arrived home, Antoine hadn't come home yet.It took me a longer time because I went to the supermarket on the way to buy some ingredients. There were so many things I needed to replenish the kitchen.I carried two large bags of ingredients when I got home. I threw my bag on the couch and immediately went to the kitchen.Antoine might come back at any time, so I needed to hurry.I was anxious when I was preparing dinner because I didn't know what would happen after he came back.Yesterday, he left in a rage. I didn't know if he had calmed down. Was he still angry at me? I was also afraid that he would ask me what I had done during the daytime. I was not good at lying, and I hated telling more lies.But gradually, my attention turned to cooking. I felt at ease w

Trinity's POVAntoine didn't come back last night. I locked the door as he told me to.But part of me hoped that he would come back. Although I knew it was unlikely to happen, I still waited on the couch so that I could open the door as soon as possible.When I woke up the next morning on the couch, I tried to find a trace showing if Antoine had come back. But obviously, he didn't.I didn't know what he did and where he slept last night.But he had said that he didn't want me to interfere in his business. That was the deal we both agreed on.I sighed and shook my head lightly, trying to drive him out of my head.The scene last night kept reemerging in my head. It was so unreal, like a dream.But the bandage on my finger and the pain reminded me that it was real.I headed to the bathroom to wash up, changed my clothes, and ate breakfast.Then, I turned on my laptop to continue to look for a job.There were other design companies. I believed I could find a job somewhere else.An email c

Antoine's POV "Alpha, do you need me to leave the car for you?" Corey asked from the driver's seat. "No, I don't have other plans today. You can drive the car back," I said from the back seat. Corey was driving me to the house where Trinity lived. Although I might have to sleep on the couch, I still voluntarily asked Corey to drive there. Corey kept glancing at me from the rearview mirror. It attracted my attention. Finally, I couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "What the matter?"' Corey cleared his throat. " Alpha, why do you have to change your clothes every time you go there? And why do you live so far away from the city center? You have so many properties in the city." I gave him a severe glance. Corey felt the pressure and pressed his lips tight. He reluctantly turned his attention back to driving. After a while, he still couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked, "Alpha, why do you let her be your PA?" I glanced at him from the rearview mirror. "Aren't yo

Trinity's POVThe next morning was the same. I read all the articles on the company's website.When it was lunchtime, I decided to go downstairs to buy my lunch and get some fresh air.Someone called my name when I was waiting in the queue to buy a sandwich.I turned around. "Octavio!" I shouted in surprise.The man who was smiling at me was Octavio Friedman. He was a senior when I was a freshman at university."I haven't seen you for a long time. You're prettier now," he chuckled.I smiled shyly, "It has been a long time. I haven't heard from you since you graduated. How are you?""Work, home. Nothing special. My office is nearby."I noticed the employee's card hung in front of his chest. "You work in the Radiance Design?""Oh, you saw it." Octavio followed my gaze and looked down at the card."Me too. I got the job two days ago." I was delighted to meet someone I was familiar with working in the same company."How lucky am I!" Octavio curled his lips. "Will you be surprised if I tel
