The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 12. Kiss
Kyla Eva.When I woke up, it was late. There was no one inside the cabin except me. I fixed myself quickly to see the team and change my top. I noticed the notepad on the table. It was a handwritten message from Enzo.He told me that the medical mission had started. He also prepared a sandwich as my breakfast.I smiled after reading it. It was so sweet of him. It's been a while since Enzo called me darling. I looked at the table and saw the sandwich he had prepared for me. I didn't eat it because I was not yet hungry.I stepped outside to check on everyone, and the beautiful, sparkling blue ocean greeted me. I shut my eyes, and I could smell freedom.The Island is surrounded by seawater. The sand is white, and the water is crystal clear. You can see the little fish swimming around, and they even get closer to your feet.At first, you will think that you are in a different country because of the view, but we are just on one of the Islands of the Philippine Archipelago."Good morning,
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 13. Every detail
Enzo Denver .I don't want to be affected by what I have observed. I believe she's the same woman I loved from the beginning, and nothing has changed. But how can I explain the scars on her wrist? They're not there anymore. I saw them two weeks before our wedding day. It's impossible for them to vanish that quickly, even if she had to do laser treatment. It will take a while, and she needs a few sessions to make them disappear.No, it can't be. My mind was bugging me, and my heart couldn't accept it. I need a shred of evidence. I couldn't just jump to a conclusion about this. I am a doctor, and I should know better, but I'm too scared to face the truth. I want to think that it's her and nobody else.The medical mission just finished, and we're sorting things out. It's our second day today, and tomorrow, Kylie and I will be flying to the Maldives for our honeymoon.I have noticed that she's not checking the news or reading articles on social media lately. Our wedding and medical missi

Kyla Eva."You take care of yourself together with Enzo, Kyla. Don't worry about us, about your mother. She's fine. I'm so sorry, Kyla. . . I was not there to protect you, my child. Please forgive me. Always remember that I love you, my dear."I gritted my teeth as I swallowed hard. I'm talking to my father in the line in secret. I shut my eyes, and my tears start rolling down on each side of my face. I felt that my father loved me. He's completely the opposite of Mum. Mum is heartless as always when it comes to me."Dad, is Kylie back? Have you heard any news from her end?" I asked and looked around my surroundings. There was no one here at the moment because the rest of the staff were already outside."We have not been able to locate her yet, so I hired Detective Bernard to help find her. He is currently tracing Kylie's credit card activity, but unfortunately, she hasn't used any of her cards recently," he sighed over the phone.My brows met. I remember that night she left, and I'm
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 15. To the Maldives
Enzo Denver.I don't want to confront her about her scar. I will wait until she's ready to open up with me. The wound on her heart was still fresh, and I didn't want to add to that misery. I will do everything to make her happy. I will give her the world—the peaceful world that she deserves.As I looked at her, my eyebrows furrowed. She was eating happily, and it was nice to see. The whole team loves her, and she gets along with them quickly. She even prepared snacks for them and sweet pastries that she bought from a nearby bakeshop for the team to take."Thank you, Kylie and Enzo. I hope to see you again, guys, in our next medical mission," Geoff said, and the rest of the team hugged Kylie. She was so sweet with them."For sure! We will do lots of medical missions in the future!" Kylie waved at them, and the team waved back."Thank you for the sweets, Kylie!" said Geoff. "Have a great honeymoon, Enzo!" They waved goodbye.They're off taking the public boat, as Dillion will leave ton
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 16. Lick
Kyla Eva . My jaw dropped when I saw how beautiful the resort paradise was. It's in a secret area that can only be accessed by riding a small boat in the middle of the sea. Our suite is floating, and it's crazy! "Do you like it?" Enzo asked as I walked around. I can see the fish underneath. It's scary to step further, as the floor is made of glass around this part. I hold my heart, breathing earnestly. I couldn't believe this! Does a house like this exist? My goodness! "If you need any assistance, please feel free to use the intercom. Everything else is at your disposal, Sir, Madame," one of the staff politely informed. "Not a problem. Thank you very much," Enzo answered. I blinked my eyes as I looked behind me. It's never-ending—the sea. Everything you need is here. There's food and all, and if you want to go to the main junction of the hotel, you just have to use the small boat. Enzo knows how to navigate it, I suppose. It's probably not that far enough to swim. "Oh, god, I-
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 17. Changing
Enzo Denver .I can't control my needs, and every time I get closer to her, my arousal cravings are too high. She has become more observant of her surroundings, which I find enjoyable. It seems she is lost in thought, and I cannot discern what's on her mind.She seems quite different from the usual Kylie that I know.The Kylie that I knew was very demanding and sophisticated at times. She's always on her phone, scrolling through social media, trying to find if she's on the most trendy search page.Although I didn't appreciate it, I accepted her behavior. I love her and have accepted both her good and bad sides. At times, she acts spoiled and stubborn like a baby. That's why I've been contemplating the changes in her."Hey, Conrad, do women's preferences change quickly?" I asked him in the line. I know I shouldn't be asking him. Conrad is a playboy who messes around with girls. But lately, Conrad has been changing, behaving differently than he used to. I hope he can give me better adv
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 18. I have no scar
Kyla Eva.Getting drunk is the only best option that I could think of. This is the only way I could make love to Enzo without thinking about my twin sister. Enzo will surely be suspicious if I get drunk. He knows that Kylie detested alcohol. Kylie pretends to Enzo that she can't drink alcohol, but it is only for a play to get his heart. She can drink, alright!What am I going to do?I finished the whole bottle of vodka and laughed a little bit. I looked at Enzo from afar. He was still on his phone, talking to someone. It could be his business or one of his cousins, but I'm not sure. I don't typically inquire about his personal affairs.I looked at the bartender before me and asked for another bottle. I shook my head as I remembered what had happened earlier.Huh, great! I was naked.And so what if I was naked? It wasn't new. In Enzo's eyes, I am Kylie, his wife!Oh, heck. What the hell is wrong with me? I must be drunk.I wonder what happened to Kylie. She did not even call me. She o
The Billionaire's Substitute Bride 19. Not so sweet
Enzo Denver."Sleep, hon. Goodnight."I gave her a quick kiss on her forehead, nose, and lips. We took our time kissing as if we had all the time in the world. The kiss was slow yet passionate and beautiful."Thank you, Enzo," she weakly said, and her eyes shut."Sleep well, honey. I love you," I whispered.She smiles and never answers back. It seems like she's asleep now.I slowly stood up and stretched my body while staring at her, sleeping like a baby. My eyes again landed on her wrist, and I sighed deeply as I looked at it.I caressed it a few times tonight, making sure that there were no scar marks. Her wrist is clean, and there's no indication that it has been with something.I jerked my head up, moving it side by side.Part of me says that this doesn't seem right and that there was something off about her, but the other part of my brain says it's impossible.I'm sure she's Kylie. She has all the memories from the first day I met her in Sorrento. Thinking outside the box was im
