My Stand-In Groom Is A Secret Tycoon by Lydia Pierce

Chapter 41

Although Eliza felt a little happier at the idea of being officially added to the Rhodes family, she couldn't shake the frustration.

The thought of Dominic ignoring her completely after seeing Audrey, even when she told him she was pregnant, made Eliza resent Audrey even more.

Eliza muttered, 'If it weren't for that mix-up years ago, I would have been the one to meet Dominic first and be with him! Audrey not only steals my life, but also is the obstacle between me and Dominic. Gritting her teeth, Eliza felt a dark idea creeping into her mind.

But instead, he was putting it out there boldly. When Audrey thought back on the time they'd spent together over the past few days, all her disappointment from Fiona's behavior vanished.

'Now, I've Alistair. I believe he'll always be there for me, Audrey thought. Then she hugged her phone close and rolled onto her back, her happiness impossible to contain.
