Forced into marriage as a substitute for her twin sister, Valeria Hale finds herself bound to a man feared by all—Mr. Devil.

Rumors of his cruelty and ruthless nature paint a terrifying picture, and she braces herself for the worst. 

But her mystery husband never shows himself.

Instead, she is drawn to his devastatingly handsome assistant, Zane Michaels—a man who embodies everything she has ever desired. 

She knows she shouldn’t want him. She knows she shouldn’t crave his touch.

Yet, she does.

Torn between forbidden attraction and the looming wrath of the husband she has never seen, Valeria fights to suppress her feelings. But her world shatters when she discovers the truth—Zane and Mr. Devil are the same man.

She had fallen for the devil himself without even knowing it.

Now, faced with his deception and the secrets surrounding their marriage and her birth, Valeria must decide—was she merely a pawn in his grander scheme, or was their love the most dangerous game of all?

Mr Devilish's Substitute Bride

After leaving the basement, I drove straight to Valeria’s university without stopping. But it was too late—she and her friends had already escaped. 


I should have felt relieved, yet unease lingered in my heart. I needed to see her with my own eyes to be sure she was truly safe—I didn't dare underestimate the lengths irrational fans, traffic-driven paparazzi, and relentless reporters would go just to get her on camera." 


Analyzing their possible hideouts, I immediately ruled out Treasure Media—reporters would be swarming the place. The Harrison Mansion was another option, but the chances were slim, but just to be sure, I called Arlo. As expected, she wasn’t home. 


Fortunately, her social circle was simple, so I had my men look into all properties under her name, as well as those belonging to Chris and Andy. This search yielded results—seven locations. Two properties under each of their names, and one jointly owned by all three.
