Every woman was looking forward to marrying her beloved man. So was I. I married Patrick Cowell, the man who I had a crush on for twelve years, in the name of my sister. My sister Caroline and I were twins, but she grew up in a rich and noble family while I grew up in an orphanage. She begged me to marry Patrick as her substitute because she didn't want to marry him. I agreed sweetly. Patrick was the only heir of the richest family in this city. Handsome, rich, and powerful. However, I didn't expect that he treated me cruelly in bed as if I was his enemy. Because he knew I was not his bride? Oh no!!!

Substitute Bride,Substitute Love

Although Seth was changing the subject, regarding what he said, I indeed had to face it as well.

After all, he had confessed to me in front of many colleagues of mine today. I did have to make the relationship between the two of us clear.

I, who had been pondering on it for a whole day, could only say so in the end.

As soon as I finished my words, Seth pressed his index finger against my lips, "Shh. I know what you are worried about. As long as you stand behind me, never should you be afraid. I surely will protect myself. Only in this way can I protect you."

His answer put me in a momentary trance.

As I wanted to remind him that Patrick wouldn't let us go just like that, Seth said first, "You won't get me into trouble."

I had to admit that Seth did have touched me.

I was not sure this counted as a confirmed relationship.
