Mr. Devilish's Substitute Bride Chapter 28
VALERIAThe following day, I woke up to the sound of constant knocking on my door.After dawdling for a while, I groggily got out from bed and walked over to open the door. Seeing it was one of the housekeeping staff outside, I asked as I leaned my head on the door, "What is it?""Good morning, ma'am. Sir asked me to call you down from breakfast."The moment I heard her say that, all hints of sluggishness immediately disappeared from my face and I stood upright to ask in surprise, with a tinge of joy that not even I had noticed mixed in my voice."He is back?""Yes, ma'am", The female staff replied politely with a faint smile on her face."Oh... then, tell him to give me a few minutes.""Okay, ma'am. I'll relay your message to Sir", She bowed slightly and subsequently turned around to go.Suddenly, I remembered that I still didn't know her name and stopped her."Wait. I still don't know your name?"She was obviously stunned for a moment there as she stood still for a while. Then, she

VALERIA Ater we were done with breakfast and the staff came over over to remove the dishes from the table, I looked at Zane who obviously still had no intentions of standing up and asked in puzzlement, "Aren't you going to work?" However, instead of answering my question, he gave a mystifying instruction. "Why don't you go and get dressed?" Not quite understanding what he meant, I asked with deepening confusion, "Get dressed? For what?" But then, after asking, I thought of something and looked at him in surprise, "You wouldn't mean I should get dressed for the banquet, right? But I thought you said it was in the evening? Or did I remember it wrong?" "No, you didn't. I just want to take you out to play", Zane said in reply. "Take me out to play? What does that mean?" What answered me was a chuckle full with amusement, "What do you think it means? The literal meaning of course." "I know how stuffy it must have been to be forced to stay here all alone, without a single familiar p

ZANEWhen someone had tried their best to satisfy another person, even giving up things they love in the process only to realize that it wasn't worth it in the end, it was inevitable to feel uncomfortable.Just by looking at the expression on Valeria's face, I knew that that was her exact state of mind at this particular moment.She asked me how I knew. Well, it was in the investigation report my men had submitted before I approached her.In there, were photos of her participating in various adventure sports - skateboarding, rock climbing, bungee jumping and even motorcycling! But there was one thing common to those photos.The twinkle in her eyes. It was the telltale sign that she loved those particular sports but strangely enough, I discovered that that was the only and last time she had ever done anything like that.However, after coming into contact with her family as well as herself, I understood why.At first, I judged her as being silly for giving up something she loved for

ZANE A few hours later, both Valeria and I returned back home feeling tired but fulfilled. As we both headed upstairs, I stopped her to say, "You should take a shower and maybe take a quick nap while you are it. I asked the stylist team to come over in about an hour later to help you prepare for the event tonight. So, make sure you get a good rest while you are it."Valeria hurriedly nodded to my words and while seeming like she didn't even want to spend another second here, she continued trudging towards her room. I couldn't help but smile on seeing that thinking to myself that she probably didn't even hear what I just said clearly, judging by how weary she looked. Well, it truly had been one hell of a hectic day but she definitely had her fun, didn't she?, I mused to myself on remembering how crazy she had played today, trying every type of adventure/extreme sports the club had to offer.In fact, if I hadn't stopped her, she had even wanted to sign up for bungee jumping and other

VALERIAMore than an hour later, I woke up feeling hungry and subsequently got out of bed in a half-dazed state with plans to head downstairs and find something to fill my protesting stomach with.However, I had only managed to walk a few steps from the door of my bedroom when I came face-to-face with Inid, the household staff I had recently acquainted myself with."You are awake, ma'am. I was just on my way to check up on you." She said upon seeing me.Immediately, all traces of dazedness vanished from my face as I asked in confusion, "Check up on me? Why?"Then I was told that it was because the stylist team was already waiting for me downstairs.'The stylist team?' Oh, yeah.Now, that I think about it, Zane seemed to have mentioned something about a stylist team earlier on, but owing to the fact that I was too tired and all I had in mind at that particular moment was just to have a good sleep, I ended up not paying much attention to it."So, they are downstairs right now?" I asked

VALERIAAround quarter to six, the time the banquet will officially start, the car me and Zane was in came to a halt in front of the only six-star hotel in the country, Azure Hotel.Almost immediately, a uniformed valet walked over to open the door for me, while the driver did the same for Zane. After stepping out of the car, I waited for him to come to my side and took the initiative to put my hand in the crook of his arm before heading into the hotel.As we walked, I didn't forget to say to him softy, "Hey, don't walk too fast unless you want to embarrass us both. I am still not used to these heels, you see."Unsurprisingly, I heard a chuckle coming from him but deliberately acted like I hadn't heard it. Well, he can laugh at me for all I care.Meanwhile, the moment we stepped into the lavishly decorated hall, I could feel gazes of different kinds falling upon me - curiosity, envy, jealousy, hatred...This was exactly why I hated this kind of events - the fact that some unfamiliar

VALERIAPa! The sharp sound reverebrated through the living room.Due to the sheer force of the slap, my head was tilted to the side involuntarily and my ears kept on ringing.Time seemed to slow for me at that moment and I instinctively reached to touch my stinging cheeks while trying to process what just happened.On feeling the burst of pain coming from the part I touched, I belatedly reacted."You hit me?" I asked, my voice tinged with incredulity as I directed my gaze at the culprit—my mother."Just because I helped Nessa in escaping this damned marriage? A marriage that shouldn't have even existed in the first place?!" In response to my outburst, I saw a flash of heartache in her eyes but before I could barely manage to convince myself that she hadn't meant to really hit me, the words spoke next instantly broke apart my self-deceit. "You shouldn't have helped your sister in escaping the marriage! Now what happens when the subordinates of that man arrives to bring her away, uhn?

"Yes! How did I not think of that? !" The woman I called mom was the first to stand up and clapped her hands in excitement. Her eyes that shone brightly as she stared at me only served to make me feel disgusted since they made me feel the same way as a dog would look at a piece of fleshy and delicious bone.The description could be considered very disrespectful, especially when the person in question was my biological mother but that was how I felt.I heard her continue saying, "Nessa and you hapoen to be identical twins and most importantly, when we made the agreement with that man, we never specified which daughter it would be!""Shut up!""Mom!"The moment my mom finished saying the.last sentnce, my dad and Aaron both shouted simultaneously at her and for some reason, their reactions made my heart sink.If I hadn't seen it wrong, they seemed afraid and amxious...But afraid of what?Those two weren't people who would lose their composure normally..Wait!What had her mom just said?
