The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

“Can you believe it? I’ve been my mother’s favorite. She has spoiled me all my life. But she doesn’t give a damn about me anymore. It looks like I never cross her mind. Now she is always thinking and talking about Janet.” Lila poured her heart out to Charis, making sure not to miss a single detail.

She didn’t bother withholding herself. After all, Charis was a stranger to her — a stranger whom she could share anything with without any burden.

Charis patiently sat beside Lila, listening to her laments. “Calm down. I know how you feel,” she comforted her. “I have a sister myself.”

Hearing that, Lila’s eyes lit up. The new piece of information seemed to bring her closer to Charis. She had found a confidant. “Then, I’m sure you’ll understand my feelings. But Janet was never a part of our life before. She just barged in and now she’s like a barrier between me and my parents. If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have ended up like this.”

“Well, it seems like your sister couldn’t stand sharing her mother with you. Don’t get angry and lose your mental peace because of her. She will be punished for it someday,” Charis comforted Lila.

“I know she will be punished sooner or later. But I can’t stand another day with her! She has become a total bitch!” Tears welled up in Lila’s eyes. She hugged Charis and sobbed uncontrollably. “She is a bumpkin. How could she do this to me?”

“I don’t like people like that either. They are ill-bred. You must have been too tolerant toward her. That’s why she is treating you like this.” Charis sounded kind and empathetic.
