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.

Ghost From the Past (2)

Raven walked back to the bed and gently nudged Penelope awake.

"Penny, there's something I need to tell you," Raven began, his voice gentle yet firm. Penelope stirred, her eyes fluttering open as she looked up at him with a mixture of sleepiness and curiosity.

"What is it?" she asked, concern lacing her words as she sat up, her gaze searching his face for answers.

Taking a deep breath, Raven sat beside her, their shoulders barely touching. "Last night, there was a call for you," he started, choosing his words carefully. "It was Lance Oliver."

Penelope's eyes widened in surprise at the mention of Lance's name, a myriad of emotions flickering across her features. She swallowed hard, trying to steady her racing heart as she struggled to process the news. Lance Oliver was a ghost from her past, a memory she had buried deep in the recesses of her mind.

"What did he want?" Penelope finally managed to ask, her voice barely above a whisper.
