The Substitute Wife

I have been the Donna of the Smith family for nine years— but only in name. I took my deceased twin sister Lily’s place, raised her daughter Emma as my own, and lived beside a husband, David, who never once looked at me with love. For nine long years, I gave everything. Emma, however, only saw me as the woman who “killed her mother,” never knowing it was Lily who stole my marriage, my identity, and the man who was supposed to be mine. She pushed me in public, screamed that I was a murderer, and even used the gun I gifted her to shoot the only thing that brought me comfort—a tiny bird I’d been nursing back to health. And David… David, the man I once loved with my whole heart, couldn’t hide the coldness in his eyes. Every time he looked at me, I could feel Lily’s shadow standing between us. So I made a decision. If this family wanted Lily so badly— then they could have her ghost. I would leave the Smith estate, the title of Donna, the child who hated me, and the man who never wanted me. But the night I packed my bags, David suddenly appeared in the doorway, blocking my path— his eyes no longer cold, but afraid. As if he had finally realized what losing me truly meant.

"Marry me," Helena said with a pounding heart. Alexander's eyes darkened, making her legs feel like jelly. "And what do I get in return?" "80% of my shares, plus 2 years of my time." "I don't want your shares, Helena... I want you." ***** They say you only realise what you've lost when it's gone. Helena realised this as she lay dying, killed by her husband and sister. Switched at birth and reclaimed by a family that never wanted her, Helena lived as an outsider in her own home. But when her grandfather left her a fortune, suddenly everyone cared. Especially Michael, her sister's ex-boyfriend, who swept her off her feet with promises of love. But love was a lie. Pregnant and naive, Helena signed away everything before they killed her. In her final moments, she prayed for one impossible thing: a second chance. When Helena opens her eyes to the reading of her grandfather's will, she knows exactly what she has to do. No more being the fool. Now, she'll reclaim what's hers and pursue her dream of becoming a doctor. Then she collides with handsome and powerful Alexander Grant, who looks at her like she's a puzzle he's dying to solve. He harbours dark secrets—including a terminal illness and a solemn promise to her dead grandfather. When Helena proposed a contract marriage, his answer ignited a fire neither of them could control. He remembers their past life, and this time, he'll stop at nothing to protect her, claim her, and make her his, even as his own life is fading. But desire is a dangerous game when your grovelling ex-husband wants you back and enemies circle like vultures. Can Helena save the one man who truly loves her, or will trusting her heart destroy her all over again?

Tu n'es personne...juste une substitute.. Alessia Bianchi avait un cerveau qui valait des millions et un cœur qui valait encore moins aux yeux de Leonardo Conti. Personne ne savait ce qu'elle était vraiment. Aux yeux de tous, elle n'était que l'épouse discrète, sans histoire, sans ambition. Chercheuse en biotechnologies sur le point de déposer un brevet révolutionnaire, elle a cru que l'aimer suffirait. Elle a rangé ses dossiers, avalé ses « vitamines » en réalité des contraceptifs et s'est effacée. Cinq ans plus tard, Olivia Greco refait surface. Leonardo, sans un regard, lui annonce froidement : « Divorçons. Tu n'as jamais été autre chose que son substitut. » Elle part sans une larme, emportant ses données. Lui ne perd pas une seconde : il avait épousé la chercheuse, pas la femme. Des années après, Alessia signe un rachat à huit chiffres avec un laboratoire américain. Le monde découvre alors qui elle est vraiment. Mais un autre homme guette depuis l'ombre. Matteo De Luca, héritier d'un empire pharmaceutique, n'a jamais voulu seulement le brevet. Il la veut, elle. Plus riche, plus puissant, plus patient que Leonardo, il dépose une offre que personne n'oserait refuser : un mariage qui ferait d'elle la femme la plus influente du secteur. Leonardo, soudainement pris d'un désespoir très opportun, change de disque : « Divorcer ? Impossible. Tant que je n'ai pas signé, tu es ma femme. Pour la vie. » Mais entre un mari qui l'a trahie et un milliardaire qui la courtise, Alessia n'a plus besoin de choisir. Pour la première fois, c'est elle qu'on convoite. Et ça n'a pas de prix.
