The Secret Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

Chapter 8: Aftermath.

Pov Ethan

I had been at an upscale bar with Dylan. I should have known this would lead to nothing good. Dylan is the biggest player I have ever met. He always had a group of girls with him they were all money-hungry gold diggers. I did need a drink though so I went with him I had to keep fighting off the girls he was with. For one this was never my style too messy and then I couldn't stop thinking of Jade. She just wasn't fitting the file. I had been downing whiskey. I was a little drunk just a bit. I couldn't take the women anymore.

I told the group I would be back I said I was going to the bathroom in reality I was just going to another whiskey and close out my tap. I got to the bar ordered my last drink and paid my bill calling it a night. As I was standing there this skanky woman came up to me I told her to go away but she kept insisting. That's when I recognized her she was the one from the wedding.

She was grinding on me and trying to touch me. Saying it should have been her. I pushed her off and started walking only for her to stand in my way again. "You're so unhappy with your wife. That your already out looking for someone else." she hissed trying to be sexy I think but it was truly repulsive. I said nothing and turned to walk the other way. When suddenly I was shoved hard and someone was yelling at me wtf is going on? "Give me my f**king ring. She made that for me! you don't deserve her. What kind of life can you even offer her."

I look up I'm confused "What the hell are you talking about? What ring?" I said

Then it clicked that was the guy from the wedding too but he was pretty drunk.

"Oh, Peter right?" I said with a smirk.

"It's Paul...Paul " he said

Oh, he was stupid if he thought that meant s**t to me. I laughed in his face. "Okay, Peter look man get over it. Look I don't even have it I think I lost it... It was a cheap piece of crap anyway" I said laughing harder. I did think of the ring of course not it was amazing but he didn't need to know that.

He turned red "Have some respect for your wife and her work. See you are just a f**king loser. A Bastard how the hell did you even get in this club? You don't even have money." he said with his smirk.

"Your right I don't. So I actually leaving to go see my wife" I said

"You son of b**ch... she would never be with you. you i***t Cali isn't like that!" he said "Cali" I repeated "Yeah, Cali deserves a good life. Let her go and come back to me. You do know that ring she gave you she made for me. To use at our wedding not for you bastard." he sneered

At this the blonde girl ran to him "Paul honey, you had too much let's go." she said. Paul looked at her with hatred and disgust he then shoved her. "This all your fault. That's why I'm not with her and why she married the bastard for money," he said. The girl's eyes went wide "Paul let's go now" she said. "Will you shut up?" he said. "I told you at the church it would be a shame to go to jail today. Just accept it she married me. She made her choice to sleep it off" I was done with this. I turned again to leave. I had questioned then answers.

The next I see is the floor this a**hole tackled me he was trying to hit me but I kept blocking. Okay enough I took control of the fight I flipped him over and started beating his face over and over. "Ethan stop the cops are coming" it was Dylan I didn't give a f**k. Dylan was trying to pull me off. A few moments later Paul and I are both taken to the cop cars.

Fast forward to my surprise she did. I was now pretending to be drunk there he was he stopped her and was calling her Cali they were speaking and then 8 heard "Seriously Paul! you f**ked my step sister and according to her, she is carrying your child. You don't deserve the ring I made with so much love." she spat then she punched him hard. Holyshit she has a mean punch. She came over and purposely kissed me in a loving carrying way. She did for him I knew that much.

Now we had just gotten home she sat me on the couch and went to go close the door I looked around everything was clean she had brought out more furniture this place looked like my home. I got up and went to her she got scared and screamed. I laughed and pressed her to the door one arm holding my weight door my other hand going to her hip. Her eyes were wide. "Ethan what are you doing?" she stammered.

"Thank my wife for picking me up. Also if I recall correctly in the cell you said when we get home.." I said and I went to her neck and started kissing it. She placed her hands on my chest "Ethan nothing has changed this is just a business deal. Remember you said it yourself." she whispered I didn't stop though I quickly picked her up and wrapped her legs around me. She was squirming so I pressed her into the door and lowered her down a bit so we were at eye level.

"You know you did say he wasn't going to be trouble. I end up in jail because of him Cali" I whispered brushing my lips against hers. Her eyes went wide and she bit her lower lip. "Tell me Cali why does he want that ring back," I said.

"He claims you made it for him. Is this true?" I asked

She was still biting her and she sighed and nodded her head.

"I would like my ring back." I said

This got her talking "No I can't give it back to you." she said firmly

"Why are you planning on going back to him and marrying him?" I said roughly

"No Ethan I'm married to you and even though you believe I will go out and cheat on you I meant what I said when I placed the ring on you. Fake or not as long as I'm married. You don't have to worry about me. This agreement works perfectly for me." she said. That surprised me I didn't expect that answer.

"The ring please," I said again. "No Ethan that ring was something I made with a lot of love and passion for him. I used it to inflict the pain that I was feeling. Pain that he caused me. I was just being petty and child." she said. I wanted the ring. I kissed her passionately she was slowly letting it happen.

"Why did he call you Cali?" I asked

"nickname," she said. She was lying I could sense it but I let it go. "Ethan can you please put me down?" she said

"Give me the ring?" I asked. "Fine! just don't lose it don't ruin it. Just put me down." she said I didn't want to let her go. She is not who she says and I have no idea but she is so enticing I need to know more. I sighed and gave her another kiss. Setting her down she looked at the clock "would you like something to eat?" I shook my head no. "Come on let me help you bed," she said. I smirked. I didn't move I just held my hand out. She wanted to kill me I could see it she walked over to her bag and got it. Placed it in my hand. "Thank you" I said and placed it back on my finger.

I let her help me then I saw what she did to the room. "you do all this?" I asked "Yes this place was disgusting how you lived here is crazy to me. She sat me on the bed. I took the opportunity to drag her down with me I turned her and I pretend to fall asleep still holding her. Let's see what happens. She is not Jade and I'm going to find out the truth.
