Novel & Cerita The Bride's Substitute

" Stop it! Stop it!! Just fucking stop it!!! Why her? Why her of all people?! Why would you choose her as my bride-to-be of all people?! Have you forgotten what that girl did to me?." "You shouldn't focus on what she's done to you, that's all in the past and I'm sure, she would have also regretted her actions by now. I see no harm in marrying that girl rather, you will benefit most from it." He said in a serious tone. " When I told Mr. Song about you, the first question he asked was... If you're married. I told him, you haven't yet but, you've gotten a fiance and you're not ready to make it public yet due to some personal reason. We all know, how important it's for you to get married, once t

His words made a smile spread across my lips but I was quick to wipe it off. "Have you gone nuts? We are not even friends, why should I get into a deal with you?" I rolled my eyes in disgust. Ignoring me, he pressed on, “Five million dollars.” “Excuse me?” “I will make it ten, fifteen. Let's settle for twenty, what do you say?" Dumbfounded, I couldn't say a word. My lips were heavy. After what seemed like forever, he pushed his hand into his hair and with a calm tone, he said, “I need a substitute bride.”

She had a pleased smile on her face. “Hmmm, up close, you are even more stunning. Just some proper pampering and you should be the most beautiful bride the world has ever seen. Welcome to the family, child.” “Thank you?” Iris answered, unsure of what else to say. Her eyes returned to Luca nervously and Evelyn laughed. “Forgive me for not making the introductions. This is Luca, I’m sure you already know. He is going to be your husband. Don’t mind him, he doesn’t talk much but he doesn’t object to the wedding so you have nothing to be afraid of”

"It was a sham, a mix-up. It was dark, and I couldn't see clearly. That's why I carried off the wrong bride." "The wrong bride?" Brad raised an eyebrow, his gaze settling on Nicholas' face. He said in a measured tone, "Mr. Tanner, our custom of bride heist isn't some brute forcing a woman. "It's an unspoken agreement between two villages and two families. If a woman isn't willing, do you really think she'd let herself be carried off?" Nicholas froze. "If she truly wasn't willing…" Brad paused, his voice softening. "She'd beat the guy so badly that his own mother wouldn't even recognize him."

Actually, I didn't doubt that anything would look good on him. It seemed that the hearsay was true. He was poor and couldn't afford to buy a new suit for the wedding. Or he just thought it wasn't worthy of doing so. The elder interrupted my thoughts, "Bride and groom, for some reason, you can't swear to the Moon Goddess now. As a substitute, you can exchange rings as your proof of oath that you accept each other completely and will never separate." The word "substitute" rang the bell in my mind.

The stylists did my finishing touches before I was taken to the wedding venue. My car arrived at the venue at the exact time of the wedding. My father almost cried when he saw me come out of the car before he walked me down the aisle to meet Asphalt who was waiting at the altar with the priest in front and his best man by his side. I made Sarah my chief bridesmaid because I knew she wouldn't cause too much attention. My decision took Vivian and Carissa by surprise but they didn't dare complain. My dad gave me to Asphalt and our wedding vows were said. We exchanged our wedding rings and proclaimed long life commitment to each other.

“Ma’am Rose, the makeup artist and hairstylist, will be here in a few minutes,” the maid informed me outside of my room. I let out a deep sigh and looked at my reflection in the mirror. Tonight, the announcement will be made that Rose is engaged to the Arrogant and Rude Heir of the Mercedes Clan, but in reality, Rose is Annalise Ysia Villareal, the Substitute Bride for her fiancé.

He just asked me to attend the wedding, and that was how I found out that Brianna had become my substitute— the replacement bride. How convenient. Thinking back to the perfect image of love and happiness that shone through as I watched Adrian and Brianna get married, I couldn’t help but be spiteful. The wedding was mine in the first place. So, I had every right to object. I was the one who was to be wedded in the first place—not Brianna. Definitely not her. She couldn’t have this, not if I couldn’t. Not when it was all I have ever longed for and what I had just lost. True love, soulmates, a happy home. Warm and fuzzy that makes your heart swell with joy.

His voice was cold, and from the way his brows were furrowed, he was just as much confused as I was. "A wedding will be held today." He says in finality. My mother's eyes aren't the only one that goes wide. "B-but Kathrine isn't here," my mother stutters. "I am aware that your eldest daughter isn't here, Dorothy, but remember that before this was a love match, it was a business arrangement, and in order for the business arrangement to be fulfilled, your daughter must marry my son." Her eyes land on me, and my body goes rigid. He couldn't possibly mean…
