Substitute Bride For The Bully Billionaire

Chapter 5

AMORA'S POV

“This is bad, this is really bad." I paced the room, my entire body ached but that was the least of my concerns.

“How can I be so stupid? I should have pushed him away or something, how am I even going to face him again?" My head got filled with so much unanswered questions.

What if he wakes up remembering all that has happened? “Oh my goodness!” The thought of it makes my body shiver in fear

I grunted, dragging Evans to his room with what was left of my energy and now I can't even sit down, talk more of sleeping.

After dropping him on the bed and wondering how I even made it here because of how heavy he was, I turned around to leave.

“Thea, don't leave me again. Not when I just found you." He murmured in his sleep, his hand tugged at my wrist as he tightened his hold on me.

My throat bobbed up and down thickly, looking down at him. Even though he wasn't in his right mind, the deep frown on his face made me feel somehow sorry for him.

It's so obvious that he misses Thea so much, no one deserves to be betrayed that way, especially by the person they love so much.

The sympathy I had for him disappeared as quickly as it came, I forcefully removed my hand from his.

He doesn't deserve to be heartbroken, same way I don't deserve to be a substitute that I have to suffer for the wrongdoing of my stepsister.

I left the room with a blank mind, I have no idea how to even feel about this really.

“I feel like I'm going to run crazy soon, honestly." I muttered to myself as I eventually got to my room and managed to lay down on the bed.

Even when the sun tried to peek in through the blinds on the window, i remained awake. I've not been able to sleep since last night.

A knock sounded on the door, making me jolt. That happened to be the first time I've even moved my body since last night when I got into bed.

I didn't respond to the door, the knock came again, still no response from me.

“Good morning ma'am.” Crystal pushed open the door and came in.

I cussed myself internally, wondering why I didn't lock the door. "Good morning Crystal."

“I've been knocking on your door and I decided to come in when you didn't answer. I'm here for your dirty clothes." She said, coming into the room fully.

"Oh, that. I think I might have developed a fever or something due to the change in environment. I knew you'd eventually come in." I lied.

She came to sit beside me on the bed, she brought up her hand to check my temparature through my forehead.

“Fever? Is it severe? Do I need to call Boss? Or the doctor?” She bombarded me with enough questions that made the headache I was pretending to have sneak in.

"No! It's nothing serious, you don't have to call Evans. Besides, he must be getting ready for work by now."

"He should be at work by now, he left really early this morning.” Crystal replied, a frown etched into her face.

I heaved a sigh of relief. At least he's not at home now, I can go out of this room then.

“On second thought, actually, I think I'm fine. I'm famished and I need some real food." I took off the covers on my body and jumped off the bed.

"Okay…" crystal trailed off, looking at me with suspicion clear in her eyes.

She got off the bed too, entered the bathroom and took the dirty clothes she was here for. Why should she care about the dirty clothes just a day after the wedding? lol

I skidded downstairs and entered straight into the kitchen. With the few hours I've spent here, Crystal never disappoints when it comes to food, she had prepared a hot toast which looked like she just made coffee.

“Thank you for this, you don't know how hungry I was.” I've stayed in the bedroom for hours since the sky brightened up.

“It's nothing. By the way, would you like to come with me for grocery shopping?" She asked me.

I'm honestly not up for anything that would involve me seeing people now, but going out and receiving some fresh air other than the one in this house would definitely do me some good.

“Sure." I replied with a mouth full of toast.

" Nice! I'll just go put these in the washer while you freshen up.”

I entered my room to take a warm bath in the bathtub. While in there, I reflected deeply on what happened last night again.

That wasn't in the top hundred lists of the possible things of what I thought would happen in the early days of my marriage with Evans.

Oh, well. It's not even like I can get pregnant. So I'm still kind of safe, the only f****d up thing here is the s*x itself, i have no fear of pregnancy happening. I know it won't happen, it's been a long time coming and just a s*x with Mr. Handsome shouldn't change that.

“Amora, are you done? You've been there for up to a hour." Crystal's voice dragged me out of the dream world I was lost in.

I stood up from the bathtub and drained the water, wrapping a towel around myself and one around my hair.

“I'm here already." I closed the bathroom's door behind me as I exited it.

“I just thought I'd come check up on you, I've been waiting for you for a while. I'll leave you alone to dress up now." She said.

"I got carried away in there. I mean, the warm water is really comforting.” I chuckled.

I entered the walk-in closet, the worst place I always want to be. I'm so indecisive when it comes to picking a dress.

I settled on high waist jeans and white crop top. I left my hair as it was, letting it fall down my shoulder. I applied some lipgloss on my lips and that was it.

Grabbing my purse and phone, I exited the room.

“Wow, you're really beautiful Amora.” Crystal said when she saw me come down the stairs.

“You flatter me, Crystal. Thank you.”

I took a deep breath, wondering what the outside world would look like for me now that I'm married to a popular billionaire.
