Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee

“I’m not going to insult you by lying,” he said bluntly.

“The reason I’m here is Marcus.”

Shera was taken aback by Ryan’s boldness. She couldn’t believe that he’d admit wanting to harm Marcus outright. A bitter taste welled up in Shera’s throat as she realized what Ryan was planning.

Ryan must not have even registered her as any kind of threat. She chaffed at the insulting insinuation.

“Why did you call me here then?” she asked.

“If you want revenge, go find Marcus.”

“I called you because I need you to help me,” Ryan replied.

Shera frowned deeply.

“Impossible. He’s the person I love the most in this world, and I would never hurt him. I’d never agree to this. I’m Leaving.”

She couldn’t believe Ryan had asked her to help him, knowing full well her feelings for Marcus. It was beyond comprehension.

Shera turned to leave, but Ryan swiftly stepped forward and grabbed her arm tightly.

“Think of it as repaying me for saving your life,” he said.

Shera felt a wave of dizziness wash over her as Ryan’s grip tightened. His other hand shifted ever so slightly and placed a tracker inside her handbag discreetly.

“I’ll repay you in other ways,” she said defiantly.

“Marcus is off the table.”

Ryan sneered.

“He doesn’t feel anything for you. Don’t fool yourself.”

“That’s none of your business,” Shera replied matter-of-factly.

“I’ll make him love me back if I have to. Now, please let go of me.

Ryan’s eyes burned into hers, their intensity like a wildfire. He loosened his grip.

“Fine. I take no pleasure in harassing women. You may leave.”

Shera left, her mind racing. Why had he called her out and then let her go so easily? Was he really this easy to convince?

Shera made her way back through the park.

Ryan checked his phone, a cold smile spreading across his lips as he watched the moving red dot on the screen.
