Steamy Web Novels & CEO Substitute Bride Stories

For eighteen years, Clara was the invisible, neglected daughter of the wealthy Montgomery family. Born on the same night as her sickly, idolized twin sister, Evelyn, Clara was blamed for every misfortune that befell the family. Treated worse than a servant in her own home, her final heartbreak comes when her parents force her to step in as a substitute bride. The groom? Gabriel Vance—the ruthless, rumored-to-be-cruel billionaire who was crippled in a mysterious accident that destroyed his legs and his heart. Everyone expects Clara to be tortured in the dark, isolated Vance mansion. Instead, the terrifying billionaire sees through her scars, protects her from her toxic family, and cherishes her like a queen. But as Gabriel’s hidden power comes to light and Clara’s true identity unfolds, a dangerous web of family secrets, corporate sabotage, and deadly betrayal threatens to tear them apart. Will the hated daughter and the broken billionaire survive the storm, or will their enemies destroy the love they bled to build?

When Sofia Belluci's sister disappears before an arranged marriage, she is forced to marry a cold billionaire in her place. The marriage is cold and loveless yet she remains, holding a spot she was never meant to take and a secret that she is never to reveal. After a tragic accident erases her memories, she awakens to a husband she doesn't remember. Roman Falcon, her husband who once pushed her away is given one last chance to win her heart. Would he succeed or would secrets between them tear them apart?

I came up with the idea of ​​a fake marriage contract with a man who's completely devoted to his work. That man is also my boss. Albert thought it would be fun to go to Europe and get married. It was all fun and games until we were walking hand in hand through the streets of Europe. It was just the two of us, but Albert broke the one rule that stood between us. He dumped me. Albert will never love this child! He's so focused on his job and doesn't want any complications. Now, I have two options. Tell him and risk losing him. Or keep my secret and lose him anyway. Either way, I'll end up heartbroken. Unless a miracle saves our marriage and our future from collapse!

I am not the bride anyone wanted. Not my mother, who's spent my whole life measuring my body against my twin sister's. Not the family who built an empire on marrying the right woman at the right time. And certainly not Callum Ashford, the man who mocked my size when we were teenagers and never looked at me twice again, not until the law required it. When my sister Ivy's engagement collapses days before her wedding, a decades-old inheritance clause names me as her replacement, whether either of us wants it or not. Marry Callum, or watch two families lose everything they've spent generations building. I say yes for my parents. He says yes because there's no one else close enough in blood to say it instead. But the trust doesn't just want a marriage. It wants proof, a pregnancy confirmed within thirty days of the ceremony, or the whole arrangement dissolves. I refuse the version everyone assumes I'll accept without question. He's furious. I don't care. What neither of us expects is what happens in the space between resentment and duty, in stolen glances neither of us mean to give, in a husband who starts noticing the woman he spent years dismissing. But Ivy hasn't given up either, and some doors, once opened, are harder to close than anyone in that family is ready to admit. I married my twin's fiancé. I'm starting to wonder if he married the right one after all.
