A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Lyana wrapped herself in her clothes and looked up at Vincent. Seeing that he was tired, she asked in confusion,

– Why are you here ?

Vincent did not respond to Lyana. His gaze fell on the corpse by the lake, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

– Didn’t Grandma say…

– She didn’t fall and drown.

Vincent interrupted Lyana, his cold voice carrying a hint of intrigue.

Lyana looked at Vincent in surprise. Perplexed, she asked:

– How do you know ?

She looked down at the mess. The police had already transported the body in the police car.

Although she guessed there was more to Karen Boyd’s death, she had no proof.

Vincent’s thin lips parted slightly and he said:

– I smelled alcohol when I passed by. At this hour, it is impossible for a woman to drink near the lake, outside.

Lyana instantly understood what Vincent meant.

Karen was Boss Stone’s lover. Logically speaking, she should be with Boss Stone by now.

However, it was obvious that she had been forced to drink and thrown into the lake as if she had fallen into it drunk.

Lyana’s beautiful fox eyes narrowed slightly and she frowned. If she was not mistaken, Mr. Chavez must have asked his subordinates to do that. Like before, he couldn’t tolerate a single grain of sand in his eyes.

Lyana had to admit that Mr. Chavez was the emperor here. He could do anything.

Seeing that Lyana understood what he meant, Vincent said calmly:

– Go back to rest.

In fact, she didn’t want to get involved in these matters either. She nodded and followed Vincent to his room.

When Lyana reached her room, she hesitated to pull out her room card and tilted her head to look at the man standing next to her.

Seeing that Vincent had no intention of going to another room, she had no choice but to open the door.

At that time, Ines had just returned from watching the show on the first floor when she saw a man enter Lyana’s room.

She was slightly stunned. Although she didn’t see the man’s face, she was completely sure the man wasn’t Vincent.

You had to know that Vincent was not in good health, so it was impossible for him to come here.

Therefore, Lyana had already cheated on him.

Realizing this, Ines seemed shocked, but she quickly calmed down. A smug smile appeared on his lips.

She wanted to capture this scene. When she returns home, she can tell Vincent about Lyana’s affair.

At that point, Vincent would definitely divorce Lyana, and she could marry Vincent.

She would ruin Lyana’s reputation.

It was now or never!

The more Ines thought about it, the more she was excited. She rushed into the room.

Her room was only one wall away from Lyana’s. After running, she immediately cautiously walked to her bedroom balcony and set up a camera.

She knew that Lyana had always been cautious, but these two people could very well be on the balcony. She just had to wait quietly.

Suddenly she felt a sharp pain in the back of her head and Ines lost consciousness.

… .

In the bedroom.

Vincent entered the room with an indifferent expression. He looked around and put his hands in his pockets.

For some reason, Lyana felt a little uncomfortable with Vincent’s arrival.

As Lyana was about to break that awkward silence, she heard Vincent say meaningfully:

– There is only one bed.

She was slightly taken aback. She glanced around the room. There was everything except a couch.

Lyana’s last look fell on the big bed.

Although she slept in the same bed as him, it was a little awkward for a girl like her to mention that she slept with him, so she asked:

– Why not take another room?

– I have something important to do this time. It’s not convenient for me to show myself.

Lyana nodded. Since he didn’t specify what it was, she didn’t want to know more.

At that moment, Vincent’s slender hands easily removed the tie around his neck and tossed it into the dirty laundry basket to the side.

Her movements were smooth and flowing, which made Lyana’s heart race.

But it was his room.

Vincent’s tie had been thrown over Lyana’s underwear, and she could vaguely see the black lace.

Of course, Vincent noticed it too.

He felt his mouth go dry. He pursed his lips slightly and swallowed.

Lyana felt her temples throb. She wanted to move closer to cover him, but if she did, it would only make things worse.

Out of sight out of mind. Lyana walked over to the bed and was about to turn off the light.

However, when she walked past Vincent, he unexpectedly grabbed her hand.

Lyana stood stunned for a moment. Her heart raced and she unconsciously raised her hand to shake Vincent.

He was very strong, and he didn’t give Lyana a chance to shake him. With his other hand, he held Lyana’s slender waist.

– Let go of me.

Lyana said in a low voice, frowning slightly.

– Are you going out like this today?

As Vincent spoke, his voice deepened. His gaze fell on Lyana’s chest, and he could vaguely see her beauty. Her heart couldn’t help but race.

Lyana naturally noticed Vincent’s gaze. She smiled slightly and explained:

– This does not count as an exit. There are not many people outside. Besides, I’m just going to take a look down the hall.

Vincent stared intently at Lyana. Her skin was clear, and from such a distance, he could clearly see every strand of hair on her skin. Her beautiful fox eyes shone with a hint of charm.

When Vincent met her gaze, his heart skipped a beat, but he pretended to be cold.

– This is not our country. It’s my country. If someone has ulterior motives, do you think you can handle it?

Hearing Vincent’s words, Lyana looked up at him. At one point, Vincent’s deep eyes seemed to have caught fire with sparks.

She looked away uncomfortably and whispered softly:

– You’re not there ?

The atmosphere in the room suddenly froze.

Lyana and Vincent were very close.

She could hear his every breath and feel his every heartbeat.

For some reason, she suddenly felt like the air had turned warm.

She had a bad feeling and instinctively wanted to escape.

However, Vincent’s grip on his hand tightened, not allowing him to leave at all.

As Lyana panicked, she realized that Vincent had let go of her wrist.

The next moment, the room darkened.

– YOU…

Before Lyana could finish speaking, she was pulled into Vincent’s arms, and the two fell onto the bed.

Everything was dark. All she could smell was the man’s broad chest and his unique scent.

For some reason, she remembered that night five years ago.

Even after five years, whenever she was faced with darkness, she felt helpless and helpless. She couldn’t help squeezing Vincent’s neck very hard.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

Lyana buried her head in Vincent’s chest, as if he was the light that could bring her out of the darkness.

Vincent was lying on the bed when he noticed Lyana’s strange behavior. He frowned slightly.

Lyana’s reaction had nothing to do with lust. It was like she was just scared…

What was she afraid of?

At that thought, Vincent couldn’t help but stroke Lyana’s back.

Suddenly, Lyana’s expression changed. Without hesitation, she lifted her knee.
