“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

When she was younger, Penelope used to follow her father around. No matter how her mother tried to dissuade her, she always found herself sneaking after him, her tiny feet padding softly on the carpeted floor of his massive office in Brilliancia. Her father would only laugh at her antics, lifting her from the ground and settling her on his lap as he worked. Penelope would watch with wide eyes as he tinkered with gadgets and gizmos, taking them apart and putting them back together easily.

Now, as she stood at Alex's office for her first day at work, a sense of nostalgia washed over her. Alex greeted her warmly, gesturing for her to sit across from him at the sleek glass desk.

Alex handed her a stack of papers as she settled into the leather chair.

"I'm so glad to have you on board, Penelope," Alex said, his eyes filled with excitement. "I hope you're ready to dive in and start working on some new projects."
