Novel & Cerita The Bride's Substitute

, Carissa suggested and I quickly drew a stop sign to it. “I won't substitute that idea if men are involved. I'm famous and my husband won't entertain such an idea. I don't want to sabotage my wedding and have my name swim all over social media. We can have the wine party but no men, however you can go out and find any man you want to spend your time on," I stated adding no conditions.

“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.

“The wedding will be held in three days. If you don’t marry him, we will be doomed to death.” “Where is Sophia now? Can’t we just get her back?” Aurora was very confused. Marriage was such a big deal. How could she replace the bride? At least they should ask the groom if he was willing. Aurora did not think that the groom would agree to that. Heck she is sure he won’t agree. Why will an Alpha agree to settle for a low life Omega like her?

While Nate is already in front and waiting for his bride. On the other hand, Beatrice stood before her sister's grave. She looked at its name and took a deep breath. She knew her wedding was happening now and didn't care if she attended on time. "You're supposed to be the one I am watching right now getting married to that bastard." She said and put the flower down beside its name. "Our wedding will happened today, and everything under my plan is slowly happening. I will avenge your death." She said, turned her back, and started walking back in her car. The driver opened the door for her, and she went inside.

"Do I have to respond that several times, Krystal? I thought my answer is already enough for you to agree?" "Another answer won't harm you," I replied. "Fine. You didn't seem like the type of woman who would be easily abandoned after the deal, especially since you'd been wanting to work for me for so long. I chose you to be my lucky acting wife. Consider it your dream come true after I summon you, and offer a job that everyone has been desiring to achieve." I didn't answer and remain looking at his face. He exhaled, "Krystal, here's the deal. You do your job, and I will do mine. Your job is to fill the empty seat left by my wife, and you must do so in a realistic manner."

Blossom POV A hush fell over the group once again. The elders are just as taken aback by Dean's response as I, Alejandro, and Aries are, and like them, they are not quite sure how to react. Clearly, as the court leadership, they had made the authoritative decision. Whatever they say becomes the law of the land. At least it always had. The court is not known for its appreciation of surprises like the one the alpha has just delivered. I had been found sound and worthy as a substitute mate for the alpha. They had made this clear in reading their decision aloud before all those present, including Dean.

"You can only go to the underworld to see her." Mom's smirk froze as Dad's expression turned grim. I floated behind Alex as I looked at his straight back, my heart aching. Mom's shock quickly faded as she commented disdainfully, "Ridiculous! To avoid going home for an arranged marriage and to get money from me, she even lied about her own death. She's really got some nerve!" Seeing how confident they were that I was lying, I only found it ridiculous. At the same time, it seemed only natural that they could not believe it. They only remembered me at this point in time to make me marry in Kelly's place.

I stood by his side staring and transfixed, the clicking of the camera from the reporters was on repeat. Tristain Herdezn exchanged pleasantries with her, and I kept on shaking my head in defeated silence. I could read the next headline in the papers by morning. “The substitute bride was humiliated at her own reception” “Ruthless billionaire ignores his wife for a more sexy lady” “Tristain Herdezn, and who do we have here?”. The woman who made a mockery of me right before the whole crowd, turning to face me not letting go of her grip on Tristain's arm.

I tried to stay strong, keeping my chin lifted and my spine straight even as my legs threatened to give out. The murmurs rippled through the hall—some pitying, most approving. "Finally," I heard one noble whisper. "The substitute was always a mistake. Seraphina is the right bride to make this union work. It was always supposed to be her. I am glad this mistake will be fixed today.” The words cut deep. I felt exposed, like the substitute every Varkas had always known I was. Cassian's announcement continued with details about the ceremony, the legal proceedings, the signing of the documents. . .I lost track of it all. I couldn't keep listening. It was too painful for me.
