(Not) The Billionaire’s Replacement Bride

“Mommy, it’s Karen!” The voice of the boy whom Gerald had not noticed earlier came from outside. Not long after, a beautiful girl with a face Gerald knew stepped in with an arrogant attitude. The girl’s gaze fell on the screaming boy.

There was no smile on her face, not like Karenina usually showed. There is no friendliness at all. They have similar faces and body shapes but are so different. Very different. Gerald thought. Even the way they dress is very different.

The Karenina that Gerald knew usually wore dresses and only occasionally wore pants. But Karenina in front of her now looks comfortable wearing long, tight jeans that wrap around her slender legs and hips.

And the white transparent blouse wraps a tank top of the same colour. It makes people want to look at what’s inside those clothes.

And the girl’s hair. Gerald frowned. The last time I saw Karenina’s hair, the girl’s hair was waist-length and dyed brown. Meanwhile, the girl in front of him had jet-black hair slightly shorter than Karenina. Who’s she?

“Sorry, but I’m not Karenina.” As if hearing the question in Gerald’s mind, the girl spoke. Even the girl’s voice was very similar. It’s just that the intonation is different.

Karenina’s voice always sounds gentle and friendly. Meanwhile, the girl in front of him seemed cynical. “I came here to meet Mrs. Caitlyn Brooks.” She said in a flat tone. Her head was now directed towards one figure; who else could it be if not the hostess?

Gerald watched the debate between the hostess and the guest, who he now knew was the twin of his future bride. This new fact surprised him because, from the data he obtained about the Brooks family, he saw absolutely no record of the existence of Karenina’s twin.

Every time he saw movement and heard the girl’s sarcastic remarks, Gerald always smiled. That girl was much more attractive compared to his lost fiancee. And in Gerald’s eyes, the girl also seemed very sexy.

“Fifteen years ago…” Fragments of sentences that came out of the girl’s mouth made Gerald draw his conclusions.

They were separated twins, and the girl in front of him was the girl who was thrown away, while his fiancee was the girl who was picked up. Gerald smiled wryly at the temporary conclusion he had drawn.

OK, Gerald knows now. The puzzle pieces started to fit together. Mrs. Brooks is completely distraught by Karenina’s departure. And he intended to use the girl before him as a backup.

Gerald smiled wryly again. Right now, he would be a spectator of this family drama.

He turned to his assistant, asking the man to come closer. “Find information about her.” His assistant nodded to his order before returning to look at the mother and girl drama again.

While listening to the mother and daughter’s drama, Gerald glanced at the Host. The old man who always acted superior was now making an ‘offer’.

Money. Of course, that’s what Old Brooks would offer, but what else? The funny thing is, doesn’t that man realize that the source of the currency here is Gerald? But Gerald also noticed the girl’s reaction, who now seemed interested in the Host’s offer.

So, in the end, the girl will also lose like her twin sister? In fact, for a while, Gerald had concluded that they were different. But if money ultimately subdued the girl, Gerald would see the girl’s cold response as mere drama.

The girl looked at Mr. Brooks defiantly. She will take as big a number as she’s going to get. If Mr. Brooks couldn’t give it, then Gerald felt he could as long as he could have the girl’s body.

Yes, Gerald was attracted to the girl’s body. Especially when the girl folded her arms in front of her chest, and her breasts looked perfectly lifted, it caught Gerald’s attention. It makes his hands itch to touch and touch it. But the words the girl said were something Gerald had never expected.

“What if I asked for your child’s heart in exchange for the request your wife would make?” She asked, which not only surprised the Brooks couple but also Gerald. It was clear that the man did not expect this to come out of the mouth of the girl in front of him. He thought the girl would say a number with lots of zeros after it. But his guess was wrong.

Gerald tried to hold back his mocking laughter. He needed clarification about who he wanted to direct his laughter at. He thinks that everyone is equally greedy for money. Or at the Brooks family, defeated by the cold-blooded young girl looking at the whole house with disdain before finally landing her gaze on Oliver Brooks.

“To hell with self-respect! We haven’t had that since you left us. Since you left us begging and begging for you to come back. And your self-respect. That’s your business. Not mine.” Then the girl left.

Not in a dramatic style like television dramas. But it was Ariana’s flexible attitude that attracted Gerald’s attention. Even though the girl had been giving off a cold attitude and an aura of hostility, the sway of her hips as she walked made Gerald’s lower body stiffen.

Well, the position is changing now. If initially, Gerald’s mother had forced this marriage. So now Gerald wants it. Not the wedding. But he wanted the girl who had disappeared from before him.

Gerald looked at the middle-aged couple before him. The man’s face looked so angry. Meanwhile, the woman looked so sad.

“So, can anyone explain to me the meaning of this drama?” He asked as if he still needed to be explained about the drama that had just happened. The two middle-aged people seemed surprised, seeming to have forgotten that Gerald was there.

Offended? No, Gerald wasn’t offended at all. However, he felt that this was very funny.

“S-so. That.” Mrs Brooks looked nervous again. “I think she could be a spare bride if Karenina hasn’t returned.” The answer was timid.

Gerald tried to hide his interest in the girl. “A replacement bride? Like that?” Mrs. Brooks nodded timidly. “So who is she?”

“She’s Karenina’s older twin.” The answer was weak. One fact that Gerald finally found out and that he had already expected. So, all this time, his future wife had twins, but it was never known to the public. And Gerald was sure that there would be other facts that he would know if his assistant succeeded in completing his request.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Gerald could only smile. He will wait and act according to the results obtained.
