(Not) The Billionaire’s Replacement Bride

Ariana covered herself with a blanket up to her shoulders. Gerald also climbed onto the bed and got under the blanket, positioning his body next to the girl.

Gerald lay on his side. He was looking at Ariana’s shoulders and neck, which were covered by a thick blanket. “Ariana…” he whined. And Ariana knows what that means.

“What?” he asked curtly.

“Can’t we do it now?” asked Gerald again. The man’s hands played with the blanket covering Ariana’s body and was about to open it. But Ariana brushed it off vehemently.

“Do what?” she asked curtly, even though he could already guess the direction of their conversation.

She still had her back to Gerald, so she didn’t know that her husband was now looking at her with sparkling eyes. “You know, ignoring your husband is a sin. Refusing to serve him for unclear reasons is also a sin. Angels can curse you all night long. Did you know that?” He threatened.

Ariana turned her head. Instantly, his body angled so they were facing each other. She raised an eyebrow. “Are you preaching, Mr. Aarzu?” she asked with his head raised, looking directly into Gerald’s eyes.

Gerald shook his head. “I’m not preaching, darling. As a good husband, I am reminding my wife of the sin she will suffer if she continues ignoring her husband. You should remember that serving me is also included in your obligations as a wife.” His answer was like a teacher teaching kindergarten children.

Ariana smiled meaningfully. “Is that so?” she asked again. Gerald nodded enthusiastically. Ariana smiled again. She rubbed her husband’s chest slowly from under the blanket. Even her feet deliberately teased Gerald’s feet. Her calf gradually pressed against Gerald’s calf and moved back and forth slowly. But his tone did not indicate that he would easily grant Gerald’s request. “Even though it was a sin and angels cursed me all night. I will complain to them if the cause of my sin is my husband,” she said in a soft valley tone.

“Why is that?” Gerald asked, his forehead creased.

“Because you clearly make me reluctant to give myself completely,” Ariana replied, pushing her husband’s chest. Then, she turned around, facing away from Gerald. “You still play around with other women out there. How can I trust you? I’m not even sure if tomorrow or the day after you won’t go back to that woman.”

Gerald fell silent. “No need to avoid it. I can even see how you don’t resist his touch. Why? Would you like to be touched by the soft hands of a millionaire’s child?” she taunted. “Ah, I forgot. She has plump breasts that seem nice to hold.” She continued, still in his curt tone. “How does it feel when that chest touches your arm? Soft?” she asked again.

Gerald smiled again. He came back closer and hugged his wife from behind. It didn’t matter if Ariana struggled because of it. He deliberately put his foot on the girl’s leg so Ariana wouldn’t kick him back.

Gerald grabbed Ariana’s hand, gripped it gently, and crossed it in front of Ariana’s chest.

“He’s always like that, darling. Act spoiled to me. And I’m used to pampering him.” Gerald whispered in Ariana’s ear. Ariana was annoyed. He struggled again and was about to elbow the man. But Gerald was much faster. He tightened his grip, making Ariana unable to move. “But that doesn’t mean I still love him.”

“So, you want to say that you once loved him?” Ariana snorted.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Gerald chuckled. “Of course.” The answer is honest. Again, Ariana was about to elbow him, but Gerald moved faster again. “But that was before. When I was eight years old and he…” Gerald seemed to be thinking. “Maybe six or five?” he asked doubtfully.

Ariana pouted. “Don’t be kidding, this isn’t funny.”

Gerald then slowly turned Ariana’s body to face him. Ariana didn’t refuse. She also turned around and looked at her husband with her head raised.

“I’m not joking, darling. That is the fact.” Gerald answered softly. “The fact is, Shelma is a distant cousin of mine.” He said solemnly. “The late grandfather had a brother from the same father. And he is Shelma’s grandfather. As children, we grew up together. And Opa always hoped that Shelma would one day become my wife. And honestly, at that time, I liked it.

“Of course, before I saw that, there were women out there prettier, cuter, and more everything than Shelma.” Ariana narrowed her eyes again. Gerald instead played with the girl’s hair behind her ear. He was making Ariana shudder with amusement because of it.

“I’m honest, darling. That’s the reality. I studied abroad, and Shelma followed me. Everyone entrusts it to me because we are brothers. And maybe there is still hope that one day we will get married.

“Until one day, I found out she was in a relationship with a man. Not with a good man. The man intended to take advantage of Shelma, especially when he found out who Shelma was and her inheritance. I was just his shield at that time. I was pretending to be his lover. Just that. I never even touched him like I touched you.”

Hearing that answer, Ariana snorted again. “Don’t think I will believe it,” he answered.

“But believe me. That’s the truth. The problem is her tendency to touch me. That’s her issue. Maybe because we used to act like lovers, we got used to touching each other like that. It’s like scratching something reflexively when you’re itchy,” Gerald stated. But once again, Ariana rejected Gerald’s statement. “If you don’t believe me, we can ask her,” Gerald suggested.

Ariana smiled crookedly. “Then you think he’s going to say, ‘Yeah, we don’t have a relationship?'” Ariana mocked him. “After saying that he would trade you for everything he had?” Ariana snorted. “Truly true love. So, what will you give as the reason for your separation? What if you were a Romeo and Juliet couple whose parents opposed it? Or will you make the reason the world’s differences separate you? It’s a cliche, you know?”

Gerald smiled. “It’s not like that, darling. There was no separation because we were never together. we never had any relationship. To me, she is just my cousin. Nothing more than that. believe me.” Persuade Gerald again. Ariana looked at her husband closely. Gerald looked back at her closely, too. Without Gerald realizing it, Ariana put her hand on the man’s chest. To determine whether the man was lying or not. But she didn’t feel the strange pounding in the man’s chest. Isn’t it typical that if someone lies, their chest will beat faster? And she didn’t think that in Gerald’s chest, apart from the usual beat.

Ariana smiled. She looked at her husband and then got up. Gerald looked confused when he saw her. But Ariana ignored him. She chose to sit on the man’s stomach. her legs were wide open. Gerald was surprised to see her. But then Ariana lowered her head, bringing her face closer to Gerald’s. Gerald could only remain silent at her aggressiveness. Even when the girl’s lips touched his, he could only smile and enjoy it willingly.
