All Chapters of SUBSTITUTE BRIDE I WANT YOU BACK LILA : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Chapter 32HomeLilaAnna, Olivia and I spent as much fun time as we could together before James came back. She was excited to see him as well. “I missed James mommy” she had said after a few hours had gone by.I smiled, I knew she had, “He missed you too darling. Don’t worry, he’ll be home soon and you both can play as much as you want to. I’ll even let you stay up past bed time” I promised her, knowing they would have a lot to catch up on.Soon time passed by and James was home. We had decided to surprise him with Anna so she wasn’t waiting for him at the door. Instead she was inside his sheets, lying as still as she could without giggling while we took him inside.He didn’t noticed her right away, he wanted to go to his toys immediately but I scolded him. instead he went to his bed and it was then he noticed the big bump. He lifted his sheets up and beamed when he saw Anna.He jumped on top of her, both of them a giggling mess but a happy mess at least. At every turn I had made sur

Chapter 34KissLilaHe stared at me, something in his eyes telling me that he knew I had lied but he didn’t say anything else. “Alright then, if you say so. I agree. I do not know you. Now I want to know you, the old and new you”I stared at him blankly. I had wanted to hear this so many years ago but now the appeal wasn’t as strong anymore. “I don’t thin so Lucien, if you came here because of that then I’m sorry because it is not going to work. Unfortunately”He moved closer while I moved away from him before he could do anything else. “It’s best to leave now. Better not to argue about it”He sighed and turned around, making to leave as I had asked but stopped halfway through. He turned to look at me, “I’ll leave if you give me an answer to two things, honestly”I raised a brow looking at him for him to continue.“Who do you live here with?” his first question shocked me because I had made sure to cover all my tracks, what would cause him to know the truth?I shrugged, “Anybody that

CHAPTER 36SuspicionsLucienGoing to work when Lila wasn't there seemed pointless. I didn't realize that she was the reason why I went to work until she wasn't there anymore. Even if we had only gone for lunch a few times, I missed that as well. Light was the one at the office, sending me documents that I needed to sign, and filling in for me during the meetings. I couldn't help but increase his raise. In as much as I needed the quiet that came from being at home, there was literally a banshee living with me. “Another day of not going to work?” She asked, with her lips unturned in a smirk. I could t tell if it was a smirk or if it was pain. Of course, speaking of the devil. My head was already aching at her voice. “Does that have anything to do with you?” I asked, and she looked away in hurt this time. “I mean, it's not like you're always at home. I'm not in your space. Go ahead for your little tea parties.”“Is it suddenly my fault?” She asked, walking over to me. “You should b

CHAPTER 38What Changed?LilaMy body was still shaking as I managed to cross the street, heading right into Dante's apartment. It was hard putting Anna to sleep after Lucien was around. I couldn't tell if she had seen the kiss. Or anything that happened at all. If she did, she didn't mention anything about it. My phone rang just as I was about to ring the doorbell. I couldn't help but smile at myself as saw Olivia's number on the screen. I swiped right immediately. “Have I become the wicked witch that you couldn't even call to tell me you have landed safely?” She asked, and I groaned. “I'm so sorry. Things have just been busy with the kids around now. Hannah is taking care of them.”She hummed. “You're being the good mother you've always wanted to be. I think you're holding up pretty well. Any news from Lucien?” She asked, and I could feel my knees buckle. “He came around, kissed me, and Anna woke up. I'm not exactly sure that she saw anything. If she did, she didn't say.”“Wow,”

CHAPTER 40For the MediaLucienLily grabbed her bag, and was about to head out of the office when I grabbed her wrist, pulling her to me. She landed right on my body, giving me a smirk. “Decided to be romantic today?” She asked, and I narrowed my eyes at her. My grip on her wrist tightened, and she cried out. “Why did you come here?” I asked, and she sighed. “I've been calling you all afternoon. I stopped over at the office, and Light told me that you've left the office ever since. I stopped over at all the restaurants that the both of you go to, and this was my last stop.”I couldn't help but feel disgusted at the way she was literally stalking me around. “I have a life outside our marriage that is literally falling apart, Lily,” I said, gritting my teeth. She faked hurt, annoying me even more. What was up with the new drama?“Our marriage isn't falling apart, Lucien. You just want out because my sister is suddenly more attractive than I am. Is it my fault that I started to get
