The Billionaire's Replacement Bride 44. What Are You Doing?
Ariana stared. She knew this couldn't be done. She couldn't just give her body to Gerald because they had no love. Moreover, later, Gerald will become Karenina's husband. But her brain and body don't work in sync. When her brain said no, her body said otherwise. And she liked his touch. Just like the first day, she became that man's wife. She enjoyed it. Her body just writhed, wanting more than just the deep kiss her husband gave her. Can he do it? Will he regret it later if he does this? Ariana didn't want to think. She just wanted to enjoy all the pleasure that the man's hands and mouth gave her. Gerald lowered his head and started kissing her neck. Ariana was tempted. Even when the man's hand touched her chest, she didn't mind and instead arched her body, asking for more. Other parts of his body felt hot and wet. Oh God, Ariana's brain warned her to stop all this. But her body wasn't willing if the man's touch just stopped. Gerald's head lowered even further. Continue kissi
The Billionaire's Replacement Bride 45. There is Something Different
Gerald emerged shortly afterward, a towel hanging low on his hips. Ariana went back into the bathroom to replace him. "Where are you going?" Gerald asked, confused. Ariana didn't answer; she just went in and started cleaning herself again. Less than five minutes later, Ariana returned to the room, her body shivering and her fingers wrinkled. Gerald was sitting on the bed, wearing a short-sleeved shirt and pajama pants. "Are you alright?" he asked, concerned. Ariana just nodded and walked back to the walk-in closet, grabbing her own sleepwear. She clearly wasn't alright now. Wasn't she running a fever just yesterday? And today, correction, tonight, she had already drenched herself in the bathroom three times. Ariana quickly dressed, choosing clothes randomly. As a result, she ended up wearing a thin silk nightgown. Fortunately, the bottom of the gown touched her ankles, although the top almost revealed her chest. But Ariana promptly covered it with a matching robe. When she stepped
The Billionaire's Replacement Bride 46. Axel's Word
Gerald went upstairs shortly after instructing his staff to deliver breakfast to their room. Midway up the stairs, he met his grandmother. The woman looked at Gerald inquisitively. "Ariana came home last night?" she asked. Gerald nodded. "She's feeling unwell," he informed briefly. Mrs. Rosaline just nodded. "Is there any recent news you haven't shared with Grandma?" she asked again. Gerald smiled. He was quite proud of his elderly grandmother's sharp mind, despite her advanced age. "It seems like a surprise will be coming our way soon," Gerald replied. His grandmother simply nodded. She continued her way downstairs, while Gerald proceeded upstairs to their room. Gerald sensed a different atmosphere when he opened the bedroom door. Ariana's gaze had returned to its usual intensity. Sardonic and challenging. Not soft and compliant like it was last night. What had changed in her during the few minutes Gerald had been away? "Axel, sweetheart. Shouldn't you be getting ready for schoo

Panic. Gerald left the room, intending to find Ariana's whereabouts. However, at the same time, he saw Yosef climbing the stairs. "Mrs. Ariana is already downstairs, sir," the old man said. Gerald immediately stopped in his tracks. He felt a sense of relief instantly. He had been afraid Ariana might pull her silent act again and leave the house abruptly, just like she did some time ago. Gerald nodded and walked back to his room, asking Yosef to follow him. "What happened yesterday when I didn't come home? I didn't get any report from you," Gerald asked. The old man remained silent, his usual expression unchanged. "Your mother-in-law came again yesterday. But not for long. Other than that, there's nothing else, sir." "I heard Mommy telling all the staff that Axel's mother is not Ariana," Gerald inquired. Yosef nodded. "You don't need to worry about it. I've asked all our staff to keep their mouths shut," he replied. "I don't want any more rumors about that woman. Especially not rea

Ariana felt upset? Certainly. When she tried to change her mind about accepting Gerald and this marriage, another surprising fact confronted her. Her mother-in-law did not want her there. From the beginning, the woman had approached Ariana only to ask for help so that their family wouldn't be embarrassed if her son's marriage failed. She was cut from the same cloth as Mrs. Caitlyn. Perhaps that's why the two of them could be friends. After Axel's words in the room, Ariana found her mother-in-law sitting casually in the dining room. The woman asked her to sit down and talk face-to-face. "Do you know if your twin sister has returned?" she asked without beating around the bush. Ariana wasn't really surprised. Hearing what the woman had said to Axel, her mother-in-law must have communicated well with Mrs. Caitlyn, so she knew when Karenina would be back. Ariana was reluctant to answer the question; she would let the woman say whatever she wanted to say. "I just want to thank you because

Ariana entered the restaurant and was greeted by Amber's sharp gaze and furrowed brows. "What are you doing?" Ariana asked with her usual calm demeanor. "Isn't that Karenina?" Amber inquired, curious. Ariana just nodded. "Are you planning to chat and gossip with her? Go ahead, she might leave soon," she said. Jody, who heard Ariana's voice, immediately emerged from the kitchen. The same goes for Adel, whom Ariana momentarily forgot was present. "Who?" Jody asked, displaying an extraordinary level of curiosity. Ariana pointed with her thumb over her shoulder. Jody and Adel walked closer to the window and were shocked to see a more feminine version of Ariana outside. "Oh my God, she looks amazing," Jody unintentionally praised. Amber scoffed upon hearing the tone of admiration. Meanwhile, Ariana ignored them and continued to the second floor. Since earlier, she had been trying to hold back the tightness in her chest and the tears that threatened to spill from her eyes. Today - n

Ariana attempted to rise, her head still throbbing. She made her way to the bathroom, searching for the headache relief she usually kept there. She forgot that she hadn't bought it the last time she intended to. As a result, she went back downstairs, intending to buy the medicine from the nearest store. However, her plans were hindered by the presence of Adel and other staff members who were ready to work. Consequently, Ariana shifted her focus to her duties. She ignored the pulsating pain in her head as she tried to push away all the negative thoughts in her mind. For her, it was just a matter of time until the bomb containing the word 'divorce' escaped Gerald's lips. Shouldn't she be happy? Yes, she should be happy because that's what she had been hoping for all this time. But why did her heart say otherwise? Why wasn't she willing? Why did she feel disliking? Why did she feel disappointment and sadness? Customers started to arrive, and Ariana chose to continue working in the k
The Billionaire's Replacement Bride 51. Sick
Ariana wasn't surprised to find out that the person knocking on the door was Gerald. She tried to act normally. When she asked him to use the bathroom quickly, he instead sat casually on the bed without saying much. Consequently, Ariana grabbed her clothes from the wardrobe and went back into the bathroom to change. After dressing, Ariana sat down on the toilet. Her stomach suddenly felt queasy and painful, and her head throbbed intensely. Her body started shaking uncontrollably. She leaned her head against the toilet wall, trying to take slow breaths to alleviate the sudden pain and tightness attacking her chest. She felt weak all of a sudden and couldn't even support herself on her own feet. She knew Gerald was out there, and he would help her if she asked. But she was reluctant to do so. The cold ceramic floor touched the soles of her feet, sending a shiver up her spine. She was still trying to keep herself conscious when she heard the bathroom door open, and Gerald walked toward
