Being a Substitute Wife
"Three million Audrey, I'll give you three million just pretend to be me for six months" I bit my lip when my partner said that. After a very long time, we met just now and this was his opening to me. I mean I was really tempted to accept because we must need the money for mom's immediate surgery but because 3M seems to be too small for the size of the favor she is asking for. “Only 3M? With the size of the favor you ask for, that's all you'll give in exchange for everything, no deal, after 8 long years when you didn't show us mom, you're coming here just to offer me something like that? Did you think that what you are asking for is easy? And one more thing, where did you get the courage and confidence to think that I will accept your offer, right?" My long litany made him suffer. No matter what, he was so damned that he thought he could pass me his money. "Oh please, my dearest sister, I know you must need 3M, so don't act like that and just accept yourself because you won't be able to operate on your mother" Look at the shamelessness of this woman if she can speak you would think she is not Mama's daughter the pain is really bad with this witch's bangs why did she have to give birth to me looking like her my gosh. "I'm going to repeat it because you don't seem to have heard, I said NO. DEAL. it's not easy what you're doing and I'm a loss on your three million so just find another girl who looks like you to pretend to be you" I will stress because I know he won't stop me. "Fine name your price if I increase the offer will you do it? And I will only be gone for another 6 months, you are very choosy and all you have to do is to pretend and don't let anyone know that they are dealing with you and not me" I washed my own face because of what he said. He really knows my weakness. But it's risky because the favor he's asking for is hard because it's hard to be plastic like him, another thing is if I accept it there's no turning back and I don't want to be ruined because of his nonsense. But if I don't, the chance of survival of our mother, who is in the hospital now and sick because every minute that passes and she is not operated on, will decrease, the chance of her survival will also decrease. That's why I just held my breath because of that thought and since I have no other choice, I'll just do what Andrea wants. “Fine 20M I will do whatever you ask me to do in six months” "20 million? You gotta be kidding me, it's only a six-month agreement, isn't it, and then you're demanding 20M" How can I tweak it so I'm still the demanding one, he's the one who needs it. "Demanding? Can you even hear what you're saying? It's not easy what you're asking for, you g*ga, I'll get married for you and you still can't give me 20M? What if something bad happens to me because you marry someone we don't even know? What about Nisha and mom then? So if you can't do it, just find someone else" After saying that, I'm about to leave, this conversation is going nowhere because we're going to argue and fight here if I stay here for too long, it's better if I just leave and find a foundation that can help us and I'm wasting my time I to him. “WAIT! Go ahead and call for 20 million but I can only give you 10 million right now when I return half of it just please be my substitute for 6 months" "Deal happy cooperation sis" I know all this will not be easy but for mom and Nisha I will do everything. Even playing with the devil. I am Audrey Del Rio and this is the story of how my simple and orderly life became chaotic because of my twin...
Chapter 17
Calvin...
"Here is the report where the young mistress came from now that she came out today young master" said assistant Dominique. I made Andrea follow her. I don't know why I'm a bit doubtful about the girl I'm with now, together with the Andrea I knew before, maybe I just met the real her now that we only met once but their eyes seem different or her eyes are hiding something. I also asked for a background check about her and her twin. I want to know what is the difference between the two so that I can compare and get to know them well.
And if you'll ask me, I prefer the Andrea I'm with now, she maybe seems so distant and a brat but the longer I've been with her, I find her being a kinda cute. D*mn this is so gay and this isn't me, yeah she seems like that most of the times when she's grumpy.
"They met with Nepumoceno?"
I asked as I saw a picture of them from the report. "Unfortunately sir, Mr. Nepumoceno was a business partner for your father-in-law's company and since the young miss came to the office earlier they coincidentally met"
Tch. Coincidence my *ss when it comes to that Nepumoceno I don't trust him he's always been like this. "Good, anyways when is your charity ball again?"
"Three weeks from now, young master"
Three weeks from now huh, a perfect time to announce my marriage. I didn't intend to keep it a secret from the public so I will announce it there. And I'm going to show that g*ngg*ng that it's not just about who my wife is for her to be close to her. I won't let that happen again not in my watch..
Audrey...
After I talked to aunt and the planning team at the company, we agreed to delay production a little and focus on designing first. She doesn't seem suspicious on how I act in the office, another thing is that manager Lim is not surprised because since Andrea left, it really had a big effect on the designing team. Even though my twin is like that, she seems so passionate about work and when dad told her that he was going to marry her, she left work to focus on being a full time wife.
His plot is good, what? Then he left his responsibility to me and at these times I can contact him.
'You can relax now Drey, aunt's surgery was a success and she is in a stable condition now' ~ Lily
'The surgery was a success, we'll just wait for mom to wake up to find out if the operation has any side effects, but don't worry, she'll be fine' ~Nisha
I breathed a sigh of relief because of that. Thank God and mom is fine. That's the least of my worries. After that, I got in the car back to the mansion. I had breakfast because I didn't want to cause trouble again and I was in the mansion embarrassing grandma.
"Oh there she my sweet and pretty granddaughter-in-law, see amigas I told yah they are beautiful and a perfect granddaughter, Andrea iha come here let me introduce you to some friends"
Grandma greeted me as soon as I entered because they were in the living room. And as I heard, he is friends with those here and just by the looks of his companions, it cannot be denied that they are part of the elite and socialite families. They look very mature and I can't deny that they look like those wealthy and wealthy adults in dramas who, apart from being good at gossip, are also the hard-to-please in-laws of the commoner main characters. They are also accompanied by three people who I think are the wives of their grandchildren or their grandchildren themselves and everyone else is acting like a prim and proper young lady of a prestigious family.
But I can't say because I know everyone in socialite society has a brethren face that they don't want other people to know. But okay, am I going to embarrass myself, this is just a once in a lifetime experience of mine and what do I know if the one that Audrey Del Rio will marry one day also comes from this kind of family.
