Chasing His Substitute Lover Back Novels & Stories

"I never planned to give you up!" Yet, I found him laughable. "And what do you expect me to do about that? Fall for your grand confession and come running back to you to become your mistress?" Chase frowned, a menacing glint flashing in his eyes. "Daphne, you know I've always loved you." I snickered. "And yet, you still chose Lucille." He swallowed hard, hesitation flickering in his gaze. "As long as you come back, we can still have another child together. My marriage to Lucille is nothing but a deal—I need the Gervais family's support!"

He had thought everything would just end as a contract but things wasn't really going as planned. His heart is beating for someone else now, someone other than his wife. His heart is beating for his substitute bride, Layla. The girl he had never thought he would pick interest in. The always different, weird and always complaining substitute of his, the girl he had always prayed the contract with her would end soon then, and now that he thought he was going to be free from her, things took a turn. He has fallen so much for her and no matter how much he try to deny or hide it, it's still the truth. Should he continue denying the reality or face the reality that he truly feels a thing for his r

"Are you crazy?! Why would I choose Jonathan over Aaron? I mean, of course, Jonathan is a great guy. He's also good looking and he's every woman's dream, he's completely the opposite of Aaron, he is sweet and caring. Not only that, he understands me a lot. He knows when I'm sad and happy but Aaron, he's completely the opposite of him yet, I can't believe I choose him over a man like Jonathan rather. I'm not normal, right?" "You might be right but, what do you intend on doing now? You're giving up on Aaron now?" Tia asked "No, I can't do that. I'm already attached to him Aaron and it will be hard to let go of him. I know, he hasn't said a word to me yet but... I can feel it. Something deep wi

Jasper murmured under his breath. "Excuse me?!" "Nothing sir," he said as he stood up. "Permission to leave?!" He said as he did a small salute. "Granted" Officer Abani murmured. "And take note, you can never at any point in time fall in love with this fake wife, she'll be a distraction" "And you don't need that right now!" Officer Abani said and Jasper rolled his eyes irritated by the fact that his words were contradicting each other "Of course!" Jasper replied and he turned around and walked out.

Not because of the wedding, but because of the man who was supposed to be his sanctuary. Chase. The memory of Chase Sterling’s luxury apartment still felt like a fresh burn. Julian had gone there to seek comfort, to find a way to tell his boyfriend that their families were about to be tied together by marriage. He had expected Chase to be his ally. Instead, he had found him in bed with a law student from the university, their laughter echoing against the floor-to-ceiling glass windows.

Chris holds my hands, "If you can't accept me again, can I be your lover instead. I don't care if you don't love me anymore. I will still be outside until the day I find someone I like." "That's not possible, idiot; if you become my lover, how can you find someone you like if you keep tailing me. Where did your brain go, mister number one?" I sigh and pull him closer to me; I place his head on my shoulder. I want to end this fast as possible because I don't want Arthur to kill me later.

came this time. “Then why.. ” “The chair’s for them,” he said, voice cool. “It keeps people out of my business. I don’t need Evelyn Bennett sniffing around. And I had no intention of marrying your sister. No healthy man would.” I couldn’t respond. I was still trying to process it. He knows I am a substitute? He turned toward the door and called out, “Isla.” The servant from earlier stepped in like she’d been waiting. “Yes, sir.”

He felt more convinced that if even after an intense, fervent night Valerie could still turn him down, then she was never going to love him anyway. “It is Chase she loves”, he concluded. It didn’t matter how identical he was to Chase, he still wasn’t him and could never be. It meant then he could never have her heart. After storming out of the office angrily, he headed straight to his mansion. As the day progressed, Chris ambled around the mansion aimlessly, trying to figure out what he had to do next.

“I don’t just want a piece of you. I want to love the whole you. The past, the present… all of it. If you’re okay with it, I want to go back to New York City. With you.” His eyes widened slightly. I rushed to explain before he could retreat. “I know it might hold some bad memories. But it holds good ones, too. So many good ones. I want to go back and overwrite the painful parts. Let’s live in the penthouse again, but not like before. This time, we won’t just be best friends hiding from what we really feel. We’ll be… Damien and Adrian. We’ll be lovers.”

I flinch slightly, tearing my gaze away and turning toward Jodelle, who is leaning against the doorframe with her arms crossed, looking far too pleased with herself. “I wasn’t watching,” I mutter, stepping inside and closing the door behind me. “Oh, you definitely were,” she says, pushing off the wall and following me into the apartment. “You had that whole tragic love-story stare going on. All that was missing was some dramatic background music.” I roll my eyes, kicking off my heels and heading toward the kitchen. “I don’t have time for your commentary tonight.” “Sure, sure,” she drawls, trailing behind me. “You’re totally, one-hundred-percent haven’t moved on. That’s why you stood there wa
