The Billionaire’s Substitute Bride

[MATURE CONTENT/R18+] “Sis, I can’t marry him! Please help me convince Mom not to marry me off!” Melody cried helplessly in Penelope’s arms. Penelope looked at her younger sister in distraught. She knew how much Melody was in love with her current boyfriend, but it would be difficult to disobey their mother, considering the massive debt their father left behind prior to his death. However, on the day of the wedding day, Melody didn’t show up and ran away with her lover. In order to give her family some face, Penelope Dimitriou had no other choice but to step forward to fill her sister’s role. “Mr. Hendrix, my sister ran away. Do you mind marrying me instead?” The man lifted his dark eyes and stared at her for a long moment before his lips curled into a dashing smile. “Sure,” he said with an amused laugh. “But you better not regret it.” Penelope stiffened under his gaze but kept her expression neutral. Regret? That was the word she was trying to remove from her vocabulary, but if marrying this stranger could spare her sister from trouble, so be it.

Come Clean, Mr. Hendrix (2)

Penelope could tell that Melody was wary of Raven's presence. Her younger sister kept her conversation with Raven short and forced, clearly uncomfortable with his intense gaze. Melody always maintained a polite distance from him, making Penelope wonder if her sister still hadn't accepted Raven as her new brother-in-law. Melody was supposed to marry Raven but ran away with Oscar on their wedding day. She must haven't anticipated that Penelope would marry in her place.

"I'm sorry, Penny." Melody apologized to Penelope one cloudy afternoon. They were having tea in their garden, and the roses their mother planted bloomed in vibrant splashes of pink and red around them.

Penelope studied her sister.

"Why are you apologizing to me again, Mel? Didn't I tell you I don't blame you for leaving?" She replied.

Melody bit her lip and sighed.

"You wouldn't have to marry Mr. Hendrix if I didn't run away."
