“Sis, I can’t marry him! Please help me convince Mom not to marry me off!” Melody cried helplessly in Penelope’s arms.  

Penelope looked at her younger sister in distraught. She knew how much Melody was in love with her current boyfriend, but it would be difficult to disobey their mother, considering the massive debt their father left behind prior to his death.  

However, on the day of the wedding day, Melody didn’t show up and ran away with her lover. In order to give her family some face, Penelope Dimitriou had no other choice but to step forward to fill her sister’s role.  

“Mr. Hendrix, my sister ran away. Do you mind marrying me instead?” 

The man lifted his dark eyes and stared at her for a long moment before his lips curled into a dashing smile.  

“Sure,” he said with an amused laugh. “But you better not regret it.”  

Penelope stiffened under his gaze but kept her expression neutral. Regret? That was the word she was trying to remove from her vocabulary, but if marrying this stranger could spare her sister from trouble, so be it.

The Billionaire’s Substitute Bride

Penelope's breath caught in her throat at Raven's words, her heart skipping a beat at the intensity of his gaze. They had only been married for a few weeks, and yet, he was able to surprise her with the profoundness of his affection, a depth she hadn't anticipated.

"Courting me, are you?" she replied, her tone light but her heart somersaulting in her chest.

"I suppose I should consider myself lucky then."

Raven's smile softened, the playful facade slipping away to reveal the sincerity in his gaze. He reached for her hand, his touch warm and grounding.

"You've always been the one for me, Penelope," he said softly, his thumb tracing gentle circles on the back of her hand. "And I will continue to show you just how much you mean to me every day."
