Rella gave up trying to climb out of the stall because it was too high for her. After what seemed like eternity, she made a decision she knew she would regret.Well I can't stay here can I she thought to herself besides being in the restroom for long was starting to make her stomach roll and she knew she'd be reaquainted with her lunch soon if she didn't get out. "Here goes my pride and dignity."She braced herself and went on all fours going all the way down until her belly was touching the ground as she crawled out of the stall. There was no saving her dress, it was wrinkled and dirty. Curse those stuck up women for real.Rella washed her hands and left the rest room only to find Lucille standing in the hall. "I've been looking everywhere for you!" She said. "The induction started about half an hour ago and when you were called on stage you were no where to be found."Rella figured that would happen, but what about Stefan was he looking for her?
The Substitute Bride Chapter 66
In a daze she rushed out of the house into the garden it was partially dark and she almost tumbled when her dress caught on the thorny bush and that when she spotted the both of them and they had their mouths down each other's throats. At first she wasn't sure until she inched closer and the light fell on Stefan's face. Before she could stop herself a gasp left her mouth and the two sprang apart. Was Lucille right, were they going to make up with each other? Does Stefan know the truth? "Get a grip on yourself and never do that again!" She heard Stefan say.Lucille stepped out of the shadows behind Rella. "Now that everything's out in the open I expect you to do the right thing Stefan." She said. "What are you talking about this is your doing isn't it?" He glared at both her and Jenny. "You must take responsibility for Jenny and your son."Stefan looked stunned. Jenny was pulling her cousin's arm trying to get her attention but Lucille fixed Stefan
The Substitute Bride Chapter 67
The stress of trying to start her life anew coupled with the revelation of the family she never knew she had had Van in such a tizzy that she blacked out before dinner and when she woke up there was a young woman taking her vitals whom she assumed to be a doctor. Her new family gathered around the bed looking concerned. It might take some time to get used to these many people around her. "Judging by your symptoms i'd say you're pregnant. It could also be just stress but I will advice that you come to the hospital so we can do an extensive check-up." Van stared at the doctor like she didn't know what she was saying. Van cannot be Pregnant it's impossible. Sure she'd felt a little queasy now and then and she'd react to the smell of certain foods but that didn't mean she was pregnant. But now that she thought about it Van was late on her period and then it truly hit her that she might in fact be...She couldn't bring herself to even think about the word as she sudd
The Substitute Bride Chapter 68
Ash looked so out of place like he didn't know what to do or say as he shuffled from one feet to the other until at last he mumbled uncomfortably, "i'll just be outside." and then he too left, that leaves grandmother and Karl. Grandmother sat at the edge of the bed and took Van’s hand, her calloused hands were a comfort to Van. Colour and health had since returned to the old woman’s face and Van couldn’t be more happy. "Do not take to heart what your grandfather said dear, he's just as surprised as the rest of us." She coaxed. "Tell me dear who's the father?"Van almost rolled her eyes. "Grandma the doctor didn't say I am pregnant." "Is the doctor's suspicion unfounded?" Van bit her lip, she wanted to deny it but she wasn’t so sure anymore. "I don't want to talk about it." "Alright dear." grandmother sighed. "Get some rest we'll talk tomorrow after you get the test results." After grandmother left, Van levelled Karl a pointed look when she noticed he

Van was determined to not let her grandfather’s cutting remarks ruin her happy mood, she simply let him think whatever he wants. Only her grandmother seemed pleased, ecstatic even, though she had also been displeased that Van had gotten herself pregnant without being married she was quick to get over it. "What has happened has happened," she said. "We just need to look on the bright side now and you don't have to worry about anything my dear, grandma is here to look after you and my great-grandchild. I am going to spoil he or she rotten."Van threw her arms around the old woman forcing herself to not cry, she wished her mom was alive so they could share this good news together. "It's okay dear." grandmother cooed softly like she knew what was on Van’s mind and she let go and allowed herself a good cry. "I’ve thought this through and i've decided that Van and Ash should get married as soon as possible." Van choked on her tea and glanced at Ash who didn't look
The Substitute Bride Chapter 70
Rella had a dream that Lucille Carpenter humiliated her in front of the White Rose and the Society. As if that wasn't enough, the woman knew the truth about her as well and was going to out her to the world. Rella confronted her but she wanted Rella to grovel at her feet and plead with her not to do it and well, it didn't end well. In her dream, Christian told Stefan her secret and the look he gave her could literally freeze the Pacific ocean. There was so much hatred in his eyes she'd never seen before, his accusing tone was laced with betrayal as he informed her that he was leaving her and that he never wanted anything to do with her. Rella cried until her voice was gone and her throat hurt like it was on fire. She groaned, rolling on her side before she opened her eyes. " Hey babe I'm here, I'm going nowhere I promise." Stefan was staring at her tenderly while holding her hand. "Stefan?" She croaked. "I'm right here love." He pressed a kiss o
The Substitute Bride Chapter 71
It was all over the tabloids.Just when Rella thought it couldn't get any worse and each one of them were spinning tales out of the lies they made up claiming sources close to the Diamonds. One thing they got right was Stefan's and Jenny's past fling which they speculated to have been rekindled recently. They went as far as claiming that the boy was Stefan's son. Rella hadn't realised the depth of the spectacle they made at the charity ball last night until she flipped the next page and there it was, a gigantic shot of them in the garden filling an entire page it was hard to miss them. There was also a shot of her passing out in Stefan's arms. In short last night had been a disaster and the city was abuzz with it seeing as it involves a Diamon, which makes it a big deal. It would be a hassle going out in public but Rella didn't want Stefan to know she was meeting up with Christian or what they plan to discuss so she got a pair of sunglasses and scarf and her disguise was complete.

"You two were meant for each other and by the time I came to that conclusion you two had already fallen in love with each other and I will say this, I'm glad he married you instead of Cindy that twin of yours is a handful."They both laughed. Rella's coffee had gone cold but she didn't mind she'd lost her appetite anyway. "So," he prompted. "Do you want to tell me how this happened?"Rella smiled wistfully. "It was supposed to be for one night only, for the engagement that is, Cindy said her friend had emergency and that she needed to be there for her and begged me to take her place for a few hours until she returned." "And you believed her?" "She's my sister if cause I believed her, but I didn't know then that she was having cold feet about the wedding I let her leave and she didn't come back. It was too late to call off the wedding so my parents begged me to take her place until we find her and now here we are." Her voice had gone high-pitched at the end as
