Substitute Bride and Her Husband Who Disappeared

Luna found herself staring at the glass, her heart heaving like a raging ocean.

She had seen Charlie and Nancy together a couple of times before, be it at their house or on the set of advertising shoots. Charlie's affection towards Nancy, who was standing in for Vivian at that time, was just as tender as it was now. Except for just a moment ago. Charlie was with the real Vivian. On the surface, he acted decently towards Vivian, but he had her drink for him, and he hadn't shown any anger when others toasted, like he was doing now with her. Nancy had only just taken over from Vivian, and his attitude had already shifted.

Although the change was subtle, Luna noticed.

With this realization, she looked at Charlie incredulously. Could it be... he had already figured out that Nancy and Vivian were not the same person?

"What's the matter, Luna? Do I need to spoon-feed you?"

Luna saw the sarcasm at the corner of Charlie's mouth, hastily shook her head, and quickly picked up the glass. Gritting her teeth, she downed the wine in one gulp.

Just as she finished drinking, Charlie handed her another glass. "Thank you for looking after Vivi. Let me toast you again."

Luna's heart quaked violently. The feeling grew stronger. She looked deeply at Nancy, not daring to refuse, and downed the wine again.

A "thud" sound echoed as Charlie placed another glass beside Luna. This time he didn't say anything, just gave Luna a deep, warning look. Luna took a deep breath, didn't dare to say anything, picked up the glass, and drank again. Thankfully, Luna had a good tolerance for alcohol. She hadn't drunk much since entering the venue. After three glasses, she only felt a little tipsy.

Seeing Nancy, arm entwined with Charlie's, walking away with Director Grant, she quickly took out her phone.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Whether Nancy had betrayed them or Charlie had discovered the truth himself, she had to let Vivian know as soon as possible so she could respond!

She had to tell Vivian about this!

She dialed Vivian's number, her heart pounding as she held her breath, waiting for Vivian to answer...

After sending a message to Luna, Vivian sat on the toilet, taking a long time to suppress the churning nausea in her stomach.

She took several deep breaths, leaned against the wall, and slowly stood up.

Staggering out of the stall, she barely made it to the restroom door when a figure suddenly embraced her.

"Ah, Vivian, you smell so good..."

The scent of a man filled her nostrils, the sudden madness making Vivian's heart leap into her throat.

"Alexander! What are you doing?"

"Heh..."

Alexander sneered, his strong hands lifting Vivian and unceremoniously moving towards the restroom.

"Alexander Caine"

Stunned, furious, and fearful of being seen, Vivian could only whisper a curse, "Are you insane? Let go of me! Release me!"

Alexander a smirk of certainty

forever etched on his lips, bundled Vivian into a partitioned area haphazardly, slamming the door shut with a thunderous 'bang.

With eyes wide in outrage, Vivian attempted to push Alexander out of the tight space, which seemed to shrink with both of them in it.

However, Alexander grabbed her approaching hand, pinning it against the wall, while his other hand firmly gripped her waist. With a sudden force, he twisted around, pinning Vivian harshly against the wall.

His warm breath ghosted over her ear, and his frivolous voice laced with ambiguity echoed in her ear, "Vivian, didn't you just say you wanted to do with me? Well, I'm about to make your wish comě true... "
