Novel & Cerita Ceo's Substitute Bride

She fell to the ground as well and fainted. A week later. In the skyrocketing Chenxing Holding Group Building, James was reviewing documents in the top CEO's office. Ming Xiang walked in and reported: "President, the screening results have come out, please have a look." then he handed over a document. "Get to the point." James was expressionless and didn't even look up. His voice didn't have any warmth because he didn't want to be distracted by such things. Ming Xiang retrieved the document obediently and said, "The selected candidate is called Christy, 19 years old, a sophomore at the Academy of Performing Arts in this city..."

What's up with me? Until I gasped for breath, I was running out of words to say to him. "All you have to do is sign here so we can be married, I won't take you away from your girlfriend! If you want we can do some arrangements for this contract wedding like I'll pay for our annulment. I'll take all the responsibilities in case Kim will find out about this fake wedding. I'll do all the talk." "It's still a no," Travis said without any emotion. To be honest I am running out of hope.

Once his subordinates saw it, they could not help but tremble and shudder as though they knew the fate of any one who catches the of their boss. “Stop what you are doing. It’s not helping at all.” Yelled Neil, his right hand man, startling the two girls. He had a gun pointed at Sylvie and hers was the loudest scream in the whole room. “What is your problem? You could have just said it. No need to shout so loud!” she yelled as she smacked him on the back. Sylvie Newman came from a mysterious background. Jade didn’t even know her parents and all she knew of her was that she had four brothers hence the habit of smacking people whenever she was angry or emotional.

This was a fight—for survival. Her grandmother’s life was the only thing that mattered. Clara may have thought she had won, but Ivy had only just begun. --- Later, Ivy sat in the lawyer's office, the sound of the pen scratching across the paper filling the silence. Her hands shook as she signed the marriage certificate. Her thoughts were a blur. Rowan Hale wasn’t there—he couldn’t be. His condition had left him bedridden, a shadow of the man he once was. A proxy stood beside her, an impersonal figure carrying out Rowan’s wishes, but Ivy barely registered him. This wasn’t about love. This wasn’t about a future. It was a desperate bargain to save her grandmother.

Celine's POV 3 months later; Tears gathered in my eyes as I stared out of the window, wearing the dress that belonged to my step sister, Emilia. I still cannot believe that this was happening.

After Hadley was dressed the team left her room leaving her alone but Karen entered. "You don't have to worry whenever Ella gets here you are switching places," Karen says looking at Hadley that was brewing in anger. "Where did fuck did that girl go!!" Hadley screamed. Heaven knows if her twin sister appears now Hadley was going to spank her till she loses her senses. "She is going to be here but until then please save us," Karen pleaded going out again and Hadley sighed.

“Then produce them. Right now, in front of everyone, since you’re so confident.” The room held its breath. Damian shifted beside me, his hand tightening against my back, silent support I hadn’t asked for but desperately needed. “I don’t need to perform for you,” I said. “But I will show them to whoever’s willing to look at actual evidence instead of a public tantrum.” Laughter rippled through pockets of the crowd, quiet but unmistakable, and I watched something in Adrian’s face crack. “She’s manipulating all of you,” he said, turning to address the room, his voice climbing toward desperation. “Just like she manipulated her way into this marriage.

The air was fresh, but it didn’t ease the suffocating weight in her chest. She was trapped. Her phone buzzed in her hand, pulling her back to reality. It was a message from her best friend, Mia. Mia: OMG! Have you seen the news?! Elena’s stomach dropped. She quickly opened a news app, and her breath caught in her throat. "Billionaire Damien Sterling Ties the Knot! Who is the Mysterious Bride?" There were pictures of their wedding plastered everywhere—her walking down the aisle, Damien standing stiffly beside her, their first dance (if you could call it that). The headlines varied, but the message was the same: speculation, gossip, and judgment.
