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.

I Will Always Belong to You (1)

Raven realized that starting a new with Penelope was more complicated than anticipated. Their usual routine resumed, and he began his day by having breakfast with his wife in complete silence. He could feel Martha giving him encouraging looks to converse with Penelope. Unlike before, Penelope was distant and aloof, lost in her thoughts. Raven knew he had to make an effort if he wanted to rebuild the connection they once had. As they finished their breakfast, he cleared his throat, breaking the heavy silence between them.

"Are you free this weekend, Penny?" he asked. 

Penelope lifted her face to look at him, wondering what her husband had in mind. 

"Yes, I suppose I am," Penelope replied softly, her eyes meeting Raven's for the first time in what felt like ages.

Raven mustered the courage to suggest, "Why don't we take a short trip? Just you and me, like old times."
