Destiny of the Substitute Bride
13. First Day.

Bella stared at her reflection in the bathroom mirror. I want him to laugh at himself every time he remembers, that the status of the wife embedded in him is nothing more than a substitute bride.

"It's too bad for your fate, you idiot!" maki the girl on herself.

After being able to calm down, Bella came out of the toilet and went to her family table.

However, instead of finding the whereabouts of the husband, Bella instead saw Harold and Jessica were arguing fiercely there.

"Pa, Ma, what's wrong? Where's Brother Noah?" bella asked as soon as she got in front of them.

Jessica looked at Bella cynically. "It's all because of you, Bella!"

"Jess!" exclaim Harold. The man approached the princess. "After that, he went home first" Harold told Bella. "I'm sorry Papa, huh?"

Bella smiled gently. "There's nothing to forgive Pa. Thanks for dinner, I'll call Papa later." After saying that Bella kissed him on the cheek, then left him and Jessica.

Taking a taxi, Bella returns home to her apartment and Noah. He was sure the man would go home.

"Why do you always seem to hate Bella? Remember Jess, if it wasn't for Nicholas and Donna's help, we would have been living on the street!" exclaiming Harold loudly.

Jessica laughed cynically. "There's an excess. It is precisely because I always remember them, Harold, and it is not they who have helped us. You're the one who needs to remember that!" jessica was no less harsh.

"Okay, they don't help us with money, but who's the day and night helping me with proposals and looking for new investors? Who helped you and Noah hide when we accidentally confronted Barron Regrets?"

Jessica was silent. The woman's heart was hot when arguing with her husband. It seems like they haven't talked about it in years.

Yes, the two had indeed agreed not to discuss those things again and buried them deeply. However, somehow Harold talked about it again.

"Help doesn't always have to be property, Jessica, and we shouldn't forget all that." Harold looked at his wife in disappointment, before leaving the restaurant.

Jessica called out to her husband. He did not care about the eyes of some visitors who were there.

...**********...

Bella arrived at her apartment not an hour later. Although the apartment is in complete darkness, Bella can still see the figure of Noah sitting at the dining table while staring at something on his cellphone.

Bella slowly walked in and turned on the apartment lights. "Sister," called the girl in a cautious tone.

Noah did not answer. He remained busy staring at his phone screen with a frustrated face.

As the distance between her and her husband drew closer, Bella was finally able to figure out what Noah was seeing.

What else if not a photo of the man with Maria?

It is not easy for Noah to forget his love for Maria, though he has promised to nurture her pain in order to forget her.

That is why Noah left one of the sweetest photos, among the thousands of photos he has permanently deleted in his playbook.

Too many memories of his friendship with Maria, making the level of difficulty faced by Noah also more.

Bella closed her eyes for a moment, trying to understand her husband's feelings. A second later a smile appeared on Bella's pretty face, along with the touch of her hand on Noah's shoulder.

However, instead of the kind welcome Bella got, the girl actually got something painful from Noah.

"Don't you dare touch me, damn it!" maki Noah pulls and twists Bella's hand on her shoulder.

Noah stands up and throws Bella's hand rough. However, then the man grabbed Bella by the neck3ram and cornered her to the wall of the room.

"K—kak," said Bella terbrata.

"really. I shouldn't have accepted this marriage. You should have turned down Papa's offer! Why did you accept it, why?" the man shouted in Bella's ear.

Bella could not answer. Just breathe he's starting to have trouble. As powerful as Bella tried to release Noah's hand that increasingly pressed his neck. Bella even hugs the man's arm as hard as she can, but Noah is reluctant to take it off.

Noah erodes the distance between them, until Bella can feel the man's breath on her face. "This marriage is a mistake, and I will try to get rid of it. Get ready to endure everything, damned girl!"

After saying so, Noah violently threw Bella on the floor, then left her.

Bella was crying. His mind was again sliced by the treatment of the husband. This is the first night they live together, but Bella finds no other difference. Bella felt even more hurt, because the person who did this was her own husband.

...**********...

Maria's face has been very upset lately. For two days Jason could not be contacted.

The man had indeed been taking a job out of town for a few days, but he had never disappeared without news like this.

Maria has contacted Ronald, her manager, many times, but the man has also been out of touch.

...**********...

Bella woke up from her sleep at five in the morning.

Noah, who does not let Bella sleep in the room with him, makes the girl forced to secure herself in the television room.

Trying to forget the incident last night, Bella began to do her activities cleaning the house. Not to forget, he also prepared breakfast for the two of them.

Bella is only able to prepare a simple breakfast in the form of egg fried rice, because they have not been shopping for food ingredients.

While waiting for Noah to come down, Bella continued her activities. This time he was busy in the laundry room.

A little while later, Noah came down from the room with a neat appearance. Bella rushed to the husband, who was busy wearing her socks and shoes in the television room.

"Sister, breakfast first," said Bella.

Noah budging.

Bella helps Noah put on his shoes. The girl knelt before Noah and took over the socks and shoes.

Noah goes silent and lets Bella do her job. When he was done, Noah said nothing and went past the dinner table.

"Sister!" exclaim Bella. "If you don't have time for breakfast at home, you can take him to the office. Hold on, I'll put it in the lunch box."

"I told you to stop acting! Until I die, I'll never eat your junk!"

Bella gasped at Noah's sharp words. The girl continued to force a line of smiles for her husband, who had now left her.

After Noah died, Bella leaned her body against the wall, taking a deep breath with her eyes closed.
