From Substitute Bride To Beloved Wife Novels & Stories

Ethan smiles, though I can tell it’s forced, and shakes the man’s hand, “Donatello, how are you?” “Good, though not as good as you are apparently,” Donatello’s eyes rake over my body and I fight the urge to try and hide. I am not a meak little girl anymore, I am here as Ethan’s Luna. “You heard about my marriage, then?” Ethan asks diplomatically, “This is my wife Ava.” I smiled at Donatello, “Hello sir.” “What a pretty little minx you are,” The older man gave Ethan a congratulatory slap on the back. “You got yourself a nice one over here.”

Gillian bellowed and angrily slapped Willa's hand away. So disgusting! Willa is a sly bitch! Gillian understood what Willa was trying to do! Willa was trying to trash Gillian on her wedding day.

"Do you, Dylan Blackwood, take Jenner Harper to be your wife?." "I do." Dylan said hastily. "Do you vow to be with each other for the rest of your lives, for better for worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish each other, until death do you both part?" "I do." Dylan answered. "I do." Amelia answered. The priest smiled. "I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may now kiss the bride." The priest said, and the congregation began cheering and clapping so loudly. "You may now kiss the bride." The word kept on ringing in Amelia's ears as she slowly turned to face Dylan.

When we married each other, I thought I would be happy as you were already mine that day, yet seeing you forcefully smile in front of me made me think twice if I did a good job that time or not. I knew that between the two of us, Nate.

So, I decided to let you go once again. Still, I see some changes in your actions, and it gives me the idea of you already giving me some of your love, and that made me happy, Beatrice; I am so glad about that, though destiny seems to be playful as it made us apart from each other now.

Usually, though, he is the nicest and most down-to-earth billionaire that anyone will ever meet, or at least that I've ever met.” “I take it then that you’ve met many billionaires.” A faint blush stained Belinda’s cheek, but she ignored Carol’s statement. “So, your sister’s wedding dress is still in her room. It is already prepared, so you just have to wear it. I’ll do your makeup as I was to do for your sister.”

Taggart gritted in annoyance and was ready to blurt back. “The wedding is still planned, so don’t worry about it. We only replace the bride with Tamara. I think she’s the best option for you,” Bruce pointed at smiling Tamara. Taggart was freezing out in his place. He couldn’t believe his father was becoming a jerk by changing his plan.

“No. You do not get to decide that. Did I force you to run away? Where were you on your wedding day? You never showed up. I stepped forward and married him instead. The moon goddess witnessed our union and sealed it. I am his wife now.” I pulled the neckline of my dress aside just enough to reveal Valerian’s mark on my skin. The clear imprint of his claim stood dark and permanent against my shoulder. “This proves it. We are bonded.” Arabella’s eyes widened with fury. “He is not yours! I am back and I need to see Valerian immediately. I will tell him his true wife has returned.

"What made it hard?" The woman instantly let it spill. "The bride's brother never approved this marriage. Tell me, how can a match this fine keep running into trouble?

The one I’d shared an impulsive, reckless night with at the club. She stood there, looking as stunned as I felt, her eyes darting nervously towards mine. “Callum.” My father said, snapping me out of my thoughts. “This is your bride; her name is Marlowe.”
