CEO's substitute bride (Alyssa)

Somehow, everything happened last night felt like a dream or perhaps a nightmare, at least, until her hands slide across the silky sheets around her.

It wasn’t a dream, but her own cruel reality.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she turned to the bedside to see it was empty.

Emmett didn’t return last night.

Although her heart was slightly relieved, she could not help but felt a little uneasy by his absence. It felt like a knife was hanging over her head and wouldn’t go away.

A part of her wanted to see him get it over with, but another part of her wanted to leave things as it was. Besides, she might feel pity for the scarred man, but she wasn’t ready for a relationship.

Down the stairs, a bodyguard came over and led her to the dining hall.

It was no secret that the Lawrence family was rich. With glistening chandeliers hanging from every corner and antique vases gleaming along the corridor, they could render anyone speechless. She wasn’t the type who easily amazed by the material possession, but it was too much.

The dining room was near the kitchen. As soon as she entered, she saw a tall and straight figure coming out of the kitchen with breakfast.

When he came out, she noticed that the man was none other than Justin, who tried to kiss her last night!

Immediately she turned around, wanting to leave, but the man said aloud, “Sister-in-law, good morning.”

His voice was magnetic and pleasant, but a little light, enough to make her uncomfortable. She took a step a step back, looking at his warm figure. She didn’t know if the daylight that made him look even brighter.
