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

Today was truly an ‘exciting’ day. 


So exciting that I never want to experience it again. 


First, I was caught in a real-life car chase. Then, I witnessed the live-action version of a shura field, something my Japanese PUBG friends often mentioned in our chats. 


As if that wasn’t enough, Valeria’s contract husband had just dropped a revelation that sounded nothing short of a bombshell. 


The Hales' first-choice marriage candidate for Val was James Leone? Chris’ father? 


They had planned to make the son’s best friend his stepmother? 


It was so ridiculous that my first instinct was to deny it outright. 


I glanced at Val, whose face was frozen in disbelief, then at Chris, who had lunged forward, grabbing Zane by the collar. Clearly, I wasn’t the only one who thought this was insane. 


“To absolve yourself, you would even lie about something like this? Have you no shame?” Chris gritted out, fury burning in his eyes.
