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 (4)

Melody didn't like her brother-in-law's answer. She wanted Penelope to be aware of what kind of person she married. She didn't want her elder sister to get heartbroken again because of Raven Hendrix. Raven wasn't completely honest with Penelope; Melody felt this could lead to a disastrous end.

"Please reconsider your decision, Mr. Hendrix," Melody said, meeting his gaze this time. "I know my sister very well, and if you continue to thread on this path, she will come to hate you for deceiving her."

Raven's expression hardened. His secret wasn't something he could easily confess to his wife. He feared Penelope would leave him because of it.

"I appreciate your concern, Melody, but I assure you, I have Penelope's best interests at heart," Raven replied coolly. "What you see as deception is merely a matter of discretion. There are better left unsaid things, for both our sakes."
