Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee

“Fine. Just don't let him touch you, or I'll cut off his hands and feet.”
Millie rolled her eyes and said, “I've heard you. I'll keep a distance from him.”
As the evening skies relinquished their hold on rain, Marcus defied the ambiance
of Villa Imperiale, stepping out into the world beyond.
Shera, stationed at the threshold, observed his retreat with a tinge of
disappointment, her gaze tracing the silhouette of his departure.

She had nurtured hopes of Marcus lingering this day, thus having already
orchestrated culinary preparations and an evening feast awaiting her culinary
finesse.
From the shadows, Celeste emerged, draped in melancholy.
“His affections are entirely annexed by Millie.”
In response, Shera’s hand sought the doorframe, fingers intertwining with its
embrace.
“Mrs. Thomas, my heart gravitates toward him. Fate introduced us initially.
Surrendering is not within my repertoire.”
In the wake of Marcus's absence, culinary aspirations withered within Shera.
Shedding the apron, she passed it on to a servant. Farewells were exchanged
with Celeste before she bid adieu to Villa Imperiale’s embrace.
Beyond the villa’s embrace, a silver automobile had staked its claim by the
roadside.
Illuminating the gloaming with a pulsating rhythm, the car coaxed Shera to shield
her eyes, compelled by reflex, before she ventured closer, revealing its occupant-
—Ryan.
“Why do you grace this place?”
Shera’s gaze darted, caution etched in every glance as she wrenched open the
car door. The Thomas family mustn't unearth the tendrils binding her to Ryan.
“Your apprehension finds an ally in me. Abandon worry. Concealment veils our
visage from the watchful eyes beyond.”
As Shera absorbed his words, a breath of solace brushed against her, though the
chambers of her voice remained locked. In the span of her return, Marcus had
woven threads of distance between them, a tapestry far sparser than her hopeful
imaginings.
Ryan's fingers found a rhythm on the steering wheel-an orchestrated beat in tune
with understanding.
“Did the encounter unfold less than favorably?”
The canvas of Shera’s emotions bore an unfiltered display, a testament to her
inner turmoil.
