The Substitute Bride Novel Novels & Stories

If anyone told her that she was going to be a substitute for anyone she was going to argue but here she was getting married in the place of her sister. Hadley admired herself in the mirror but she sighed sadly. "It would have been nice if it was my wedding," she mutters sadly but she heard the door to the dressing room open suddenly and her heart skipped. Is that her sister?? Hadley turned immediately and she came in contact with the person's face. This??? Hadley gawked at the person's face in surprise….

"We worked our asses off for that party, to impress 'the boss' we knew nothing about. You panicked when you heard the bride was missing, and suddenly, you’re announced as the bride? Does that make sense?" I cleared my throat, looking away. "That’s a silly question," I muttered, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear. Of all people, I hadn't expected Nora to buy the lie. She wasn’t just my assistant—she was my friend. That was why I had been avoiding a one-on-one conversation with her for so long. "Are you a substitute?" she asked, her voice quieter now. "Did you stand in to save face for Mr. Voss?" Her dark blue eyes met mine, filled with curiosity.

Again, the woman, my sister Katherine ghost haunted me. My mind concluded that it was her, she was here, she didn’t leave, she watched this!! That was what my brain had told me to think,how could I not ?… when she was the reason I was left with this forced betrothal. Pushing him lightly till the paper fell I succeeded, but got a choking look from him. I saw her handwriting “Enjoy your bride fantasy play“ I was right, it was her !!

Eleanor sat beside my empty seat, her cane resting against her knee, watching me with an expression I couldn’t quite read, something between pride and grief. Isabella Blackwood sat across the aisle, elegant in pale blue, and when our eyes met she gave me a small, warm nod, like she was welcoming me into something instead of witnessing a transaction. Lucas stood beside Damian as his best man, and even now, even at his brother’s wedding, there was a restless energy in him, like he wanted to say something and knew better than to say it here.

The kind of gesture that said everything about what this was and nothing at all about what it wasn’t. The guests applauded. I kept my face still. Damien straightened and looked at me again and for just a fraction of a second something moved behind those blue eyes that I couldn’t identify before it was gone completely. Then he offered me his arm. I took it. We walked back down the aisle together, two hundred people watching, music playing, flowers everywhere, and I was Mrs. Blackwood, I was actually Mrs. Blackwood, and I felt absolutely nothing like a bride. I felt like a substitute.

“And her wedding is around the corner.” “What?!” The scream tore from my throat before I could stop it. My heart pounded wildly, rejecting his words. “She left this note,” mum said stretching a short piece of paper to me. I collected it with trembling hands my heart pounding loudly in my chest. “I’m gone with my boyfriend, I can’t be forced into a loveless marriage while I’m in love, your obedient daughter can do it,” I shuddered as I read that line of course I’ve always been the foolish daughter.

“I wouldn’t have thought any different.” “Well,” Ethan tilted my head so that I was looking at him again. “You never told me you were a substitute for my original fiance. I think we’re even.” “I’m sorry,” I mumbled, a blush growing on my face. “Dora, my half-sister, she wanted free from the engagement because she found someone who was incredibly rich and you-” I stopped myself. How could I tell Ethan that everyone in the wolfworld thought he was a poor nobody before he revealed himself to be the Blue Moon Group CEO and Alpha?

"You are such a selfish, arrogant and rude personDon't you have a heart???. No one's gonna love or marry a person like you." "Why don't you look at yourself first before judging another person???, You are a stupid and rufey lady who don't know how to speak to people, First learn how to speak I would never marry a person like you and even if you were the last person left on earth I would never marry you." Suddenly two guards headed towards me, I left his hand because I didn't want any trouble. If I get into any trouble my step mother would take advantage of it. So I moved backwards, and stared at him in anger.

The one who got away. Aurora disappeared the night she was supposed to marry him, and I became the substitute bride. The unwanted mute substitute bride. Mother works quickly, muttering more insults as she finishes her work, then leans back, shaking her head. "You know, it’s a real shame. If only you could produce an heir for Lord Ezra, then I wouldn’t have to work anymore. But no, nothing from your womb after all these years. Why can’t you just spread your legs and let him fuck you?”

And if I wanted to get free of them, then I needed to leave the room first and marriage was the only way to do that. And so, here I am. A few moments away from getting married. I wonder, will that window fit me? I am just in the process of sticking my keg out when I hear a knock sound and see Marcus, my groom walking into the room. He stops in surprise as he takes in my position at the window and with a slow-growing smirk on his face, says. “I don't think that gown would let you pass through.” He is right, I note as I look down on the gown.
