Mafia King's Substitute Wife のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

I woke up with Sylus lying beside me. His features were soft and relaxed. His dark eyelashes cast a shadow on his cheeks, and his lips were slightly parted, as if he was about to share a secret. A faint smile played on his lips, giving him an air of quiet contentment, as if he was dreaming of something beautiful. His strong jawline was relaxed, and his eyebrows were smoothed out, giving him a look of vulnerability. Then I remembered about what happened last night and the words that he said to me. He told me that he is falling in love with the new Charlotte. I wonder if that means he is falling in love with me. He said those words as if he knew that I was just pretending to be his wife. I stared at his face once more, trying to remember every single detail of his vulnerability even for once. You can't fall in love with me, Sylus. I am your enemy. "Staring at me while I am sleeping, huh? Do you find me that handsome?" My eyes widened when his eyes suddenly went open

I woke up to the sound of coughing, my throat sore and my body aching. I tried to sit up, but a wave of dizziness washed over me, forcing me to collapse back onto the pillow. I was feeling really sick yesteday, maybe this is the result of me overworking and not deciding to take some rest yesterday. I was about to sit up again, but then the door of our bedroom went open. Sylus appeared, already wearing his suit. "Good morning, babe," he greeted me with a smile on his face. "G-Good morning," I replied, my voice a bit hoarse. Sylus' brows furrowed as he started walking towards. "Are you alright, babe? You don't look fine." "H-Huh? No, I'm fine. Maybe I just need to take some rest and I'll be okay." He let out a sigh as he placed a hand on my forehead, "You've got a fever, babe." I tried to protest, but Sylus waved me off. "Don't try to get up. I'll take care of everything." "But Sylus, you still have to-- "Wait for me here, I will bring you medicine," he said as he walked out

As soon as Sylus hang up the phone, I let out a deep sigh. I wasn't able to focus on our conversation because I kept on thinking about what Luke told me a while ago. Based on those words that he said, it seems like...It seems lime he actually knows about my secret--about me pretending to be his sister."Charlotte, can you help me out?" I got surprised when he suddenly appeared in front of me."H-Huh? Sure."I followed behind him as he started walking. I could still feel my heart beating so fast, wondering if he would actually tell me that he knows about my real identity. "Actually, I need help with something a bit...unconventional. One of our patients is an elderly woman who's been getting a bit agitated, and we need someone to help calm her down. She's been trying to remove her IV and walk around, but it's not safe for her," Luke said as we both keep on walking.I nodded, feeling a surge of empathy. "Poor thing. Why is she like that?"Luke's expression turned serious. "She's a deme

I walked home, my mind reeling with the revelation that Carmine was pretending to be my sister, Charlotte. The cool evening air did little to calm the storm brewing inside me. How could she do this to us? To me? The betrayal cut deep, and I couldn't shake the feeling that I'd been living a lie. As I entered my house, I headed straight to the living room, where a family photo hung on the wall. The warm glow of the setting sun cast a golden light on the faces of my loved ones, and I felt a pang of sadness. I stood in front of the picture, staring at the image of Charlotte, my real sister. She was smiling, happy, and carefree, her eyes sparkling with a joy that I hadn't seen in years. I looked closer at the photo, studying her features, trying to see if there was any resemblance to Carmine. But there was none. Carmine looked nothing like my sister. The shape of her eyes, the curve of her smile, the sound of her laughter – everything was different. I wish I noticed it the first time I

"I'm so glad the two of you seem to be getting along so well again," Mrs. Greene while we were having dinner together as the celebration of their anniversary. "You're right. Charlotte, can you remember those times when you and Luke used to bicker a lot? Oh, the house just can't be quiet whenever there were the two of you because you keep on teasing each other like dogs and cats," Mr. Greene said, laughing. I smiled as I glanced at Luke who didn't even have any reaction to what his parents were saying. He suddenly wiped his mouth and put his cutlery down. "She won't remember any of that. That would be impossible.;"I suddenly felt my heart beating so fast. Is he going to reveal my true identity now? "You're right, but you know, for sure as time goes by, Charlotte will begin to remember everything. Right, sweetheart?" Mrs. Greene said to me, smiling empathetically.I forced a smile on my face as I nodded my head, "Y-Yes..."" I know you still feel awkward around us, Charlotte. But y
