Don't ever refer to me as your wife, because nothing is binding the both of us together." " No sex. No love. No kisses. No feelings. You are just a hired groom for sixty days. Live your life the way you want it, but not for these sixty days ", she narrated further.

I was in a relationship with my older sister’s childhood friend for nine years. We were about to get engaged. Nothing was out of the blue. He had a gathering with his friends, and he asked me to pick him up since he had ingested some alcohol. I reached the entrance. Just when I was about to say hi, I heard his friends teasing him. “Victor Steele, your first love is returning to the country. Are you going to break up with that replacement, or are you going to date them both?” He sneered. Another friend of his laughed. “Victor, you’re one lucky dude! After your first love left, you got together with your childhood friend’s younger sister just because you’re lonely. Just when you said you were bored of her after nine years, your first love returns to the country!” Victor sounded resentful. “Charlotte Black said that I’ll only love her in this life! Of course I’m going to find a dupe to show her how cocky she was!”

Ich war seit neun Jahren mit dem Kindheitsfreund meiner Schwester und wir standen kurz vor der Verlobung. Wie immer war er auf der Party mit seinen Freunden betrunken und ich holte ihn ab. Als ich vor der Tür stand und gerade Hallo sagen wollte, hörte ich die neckische Stimme eines seiner Freunde. „Vincent, deine Traumfrau ist zurück aus dem Ausland. Was machst du mit dem Ersatz? Wirfst du sie loswerden oder hast du gleichzeitig zwei?“ Er grinste höhnisch. Dann sagt ein anderer neben ihm lachend: „Vincent, du bist so v*rdammt beneidenswert. Nachdem deine Traumfrau Chiara weg war, hast du dich aus Einsamkeit mit der Schwester deines Kindheitsfreundes vergnügt. Du hast immer gesagt, nach neun Jahren bist du satt. Und jetzt ist Chiara auch zurück!“ Vincents Stimme war voller Wut. „Chiara hat damals behauptet, ich würde mein ganzes Leben lang nur sie lieben! Natürlich musste ich einen billigen Ersatz nehmen, um ihr Selbstvertrauen ordentlich zu erschüttern!“

My best friend Sophie and I went into labor the very same night. I watched her switch out the two infants with my own eyes, but I did not tell a single soul. For the next decade, I fed, clothed, and raised a daughter that was not mine. On the day the two girls turned eighteen, they received their college offer letters at the same time. One got into an ivy league school, and the other, a community college whose name I had not even heard of. I had never seen Sophie so happy in my entire life. Grinning from ear to ear, she whipped out the DNA report she had been saving for this very moment. "Thank you for raising my daughter to be the valedictorian that she is today. It's time she returns to her mama. As for this good-for-nothing scum… You can take her back!" I sneered. "Very well then." She had no idea what was coming.

Late at night, my sexy landlady knocks on my door and gives me a sultry look. "Do you know why I rented this place to you?" In the corner, her two daughters bite their lips and clutch the hems of their shirts, looking at me hungrily. "It's because you satisfy all our desires… You're not getting away tonight…"

My daughter and my husband didn't look alike at all. My father-in-law always complained about it, accusing me of cheating. In the end, he even took my daughter to get a paternity test done. As expected, they were not blood related. My father-in-law told his son to divorce me and not to give me anything. My husband even wanted to kill my daughter by choking her. "I've been raising another man's daughter all this while! I'll be humiliated as long as she's alive!" I immediately threw the paternity test report involving my husband and my father-in-law at them. This time, it's my mother-in-law that was nervous as I looked them in the eyes and said, "Why don't you take a good look and see who is the one who is not blood related!"

Arrivée à la porte, j'allais l'appeler quand j'ai entendu les moqueries de son ami : « Victor, ton amour idéalisé est de retour. Tu vas jeter la remplaçante ou garder les deux ? » Un ricanement s'échappait de ses lèvres. À cet instant, un autre ami à côté riait avant de prendre la parole. « Vraiment, tu as de la chance ! Après le départ de ton amour idéalisé, seul, tu as commencé à t’amuser avec la petite sœur de ton amie d’enfance. Neuf ans à jouer la comédie, ça suffit, non ? Et juste à temps, ton amour idéalisé est revenue. » Victor a dit, sa voix était teintée de défi : « Chloé croyait que je l’aimerais toute ma vie. Il fallait bien briser son égo avec une remplaçante bon marché ! »
