Mr. Devilish's Substitute Bride Chapter 16
"Hey guys!" A cute looking guy in his early twenties whose two tiger teeth showed when smiling said as he stepped into the room.He was Andy Morgan, the band's bassist and also my childhood friend together with Chris.Following right behind was a girl with a sweet and innocent looking appearance on whose face hung a soft smile.She was none other than Jenna Thompson, the band's keyboardWith an obscure expression on my face, I let my eyes linger on the latter. Looking at her harmless appearance, no one could have ever thought that she would actually do such a thing, at least, I had never even dreamt of that possibility. To me, all the three people here weren't just my band mates, there were also my very important friends who I held dear even more than my so-called family. So, the thought... no, it was a fact... the fact that one of them had betrayed me sent me reeling.I had agreed to Chris's suggestion to come here only for one reason - to get an explanation and maybe give this frie

JENNAListening to Andy's tattletale, I only cursed him in my heart for not knowing how to keep his mouth shut however, I wasn't at all worried that I would be misunderstood by the others, namely Valeria and Chris. That might be the case in the beginning when I just joined and always acted and spoke cautiously for fear that I would give out the wrong impression and also because I was afraid they would discover the real intention behind why I had joined the ban. However, I am not sure if it was because I had came to them when they really needed someone, but I gradually came to realize in the long run that they really had accepted and treated me like a true member of their crew, family background and status apart. It was from then on that I relaxed and stopped acting so cautiously around them and finally managed to completely integrate into the group.The confidence that I only had come up with a casual excuse coupled with my deceptive appearance and that they would all believe me was

VALERIA'Shit!' I cursed in my heart the moment Jenna blurted out the fact that I was married. From the corner of my eyes, I even caught Andy spatting out the pastry he was munching on in shock.Like I had said earlier on, I still haven't been able to come up with a way to come clean about my impromptu marriage to my two childhood friends. Actually, Andy wouldn't pose much of a problem since the heartless guy barely cared about anything else other than eating and having fun but Chris... that was the real problem. In the long years of our friendship, I had come to discover that he didn't like it very much when I hid things like this from him. An example would be like when I had decided to date my first and last boyfriend, Ethan and had unintentionally forgot to tell Chris about it, with him finding out only when he coincidentally saw me and Ethan behaving somewhat intimate together.He had gotten so angry that he had even ended up ignoring me for more than a week. Since then, I tried

VALERIAOn stepping out of the private room, I had no plans to head out immediately since I remembered Zane saying he would be in the room next door to ours.Standing in front of the above-mentioned room, I hesitated for a bit on debating whether he would still be inside or not. In the end, I however chose to knock on the door when I thought of the fact that although it has been a while since we got here and separated, it still wasn't long enough to make him so impatient that he would leave without informing me.After giving the door three gentle knocks, I patiently waited for a response. About a minute later, the door was opened from the inside and I came face-to-face with Zane's impeccable face. "Miss Hale. You are here." I heard him say while I was in a daze.Not sure if it was the lights or something else... but I can't help but feel that Zane looked even more sexier than usual tonight.Something seemed different about him... But what exactly was that?My gaze moved away from hi

ZANE'Did I hear Valeria say what I think she said?' " I thought to myself in disbelief."Miss Hale..." I couldn't help but call out questioningly.Before I could say or ask anything more, she cut me off and said while looking straight into my eyes."Call me Valeria and yes, you heard me right. I did ask you to... kiss me. So do it."Excitement bubbled inside of me on confirming that I had indeed heard her right. It was the excitement of a hunter when a prey finally walked into the trap he had meticulously set up. After so long, I could finally know whether Valeria Hale really had some kind of effect on my unspeakable condition.I should have taken action sooner but unfortunately, on the day we signed the agreement, she had made a condition that I was not allowed to touch her and although she still had no idea that I was actually her nominal husband, I had no intention of breaking that promise.So, just like what I had said that day - that what if she was the one who took the initi

VALERIAJust like a Chinese Proverb says, ‘Plans never keep up with changes’, that was exactly what happened to me after the kiss with Zane happened.After I ran back to my room that day, with my heart feeling like it was going to jump out of my chest any time soon, I made a resolution to avoid the man.I had always thought of Zane as a gentleman, however, the way he snatched the initiative from me after I kissed him followed by his stormy kiss made me realize that he was definitely not one. But I had no idea why his hidden badness only excited me even more.Although I had started the kiss as a way to determine whether Zane was sent to monitor me by Mr. Devil and to also see if I was indeed that attracted to him, it somehow ended up developing into something else... His kiss aroused something deeper in me and made me want to sink forever into his arms, in fact, I was sure that if I wasn't because of my sudden shortness of breath, I would hardly have been able to refuse even if the ki

ZANE"Godfather had a son?" I turned to ask to ask Mason Turner, my special assistant after watching Valeria step into the jet."Yes, Boss." He replied in affirmation, no longer using the 'sir' address he had used when Valeria was present.Actually, I also had no idea why I specially had instructed him not to address me as 'Boss' in her presence. But what I did know was that I definitely didn't want her getting the wrong idea about me.But that was even more ridiculous, wasn't it? After all, since when did I start caring about what other people thought of me.Not really wanting to dig deeply into my intention for doing so, I threw Mason another question."He went to the organization?"Mason replied yes again.After a minute silence, I let out a sneer."Seems like there are still some restless and insatiable rats scurrying around our midst.""Boss, you mean?" Mason asked with a thoughtful expression on his face."Is the location of the organization that easy to find and let's say it r

CHRIS As I stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of my penthouse apartment, holding a glass of wine in my hand and staring absentmindedly outside, I suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind me but didn't bother turning around since I knew who it was.I waited until the footsteps had come to a stop a few steps away from me before asking in a faint voice, "What happened?""Sir. Miss Valeria just left Meteor City." My assistant, John reported respectfully. "With that man?" Despite already knowing the answer to the question I asked, I still asked stubbornly. It was probably because I hoped for a different answer. But..."Yes, she left together with him on his private jet."...sometimes, things just don't go the way you want."I understand. You can go." Without taking my gaze off outside, I waved my hand dismissively, signalling to John that he was no longer needed here.As I listened to the gradually receding footsteps, I gently set down the wine glass in my hands on the si
