The CEO’s Substitute Lover

Moved to tears, she went over and hugged Domino, who looked so beautiful and enchanting in the moonlight.

“Thank you, Domino, for everything you have done for me, how can I ever repay you, I am so touched, how can one say that God has not been good to me when he set me up with such a wonderful sister as you!” A tearful Octavia Gills is truly melodramatic at the moment!

“Silly, what is our relationship, no need to talk about that, your happiness is a joy to me too, so I can feel no less joy than you in doing this!” Domino hugged Octavia back hard.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

“Oppa, why hasn’t my cake been lit with candles?” Domino saw the Tredan and Octavia embracing each other, and almost shed a tear, how could such a big man be so easily touched and shed tears. Domino could not bear to look at them and reminded Woodrow to do something.

Even Tredan, who was used to having a poker face, could not help but smile. He had never felt such a warm feeling like this before, like the emotions between relatives, a tiny spark of warmth that made Tredan’s frozen heart melt quickly, even falling in love with this kind of company without any sense of dissonance. There were lovers, a confidant brother, laughter, wonderful and lingering!

“Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you.

I wish you all the happiness in the world.

I wish you good health and

May you always be happy.”

Domino made her birthday wish at exactly 11:59 that night to the sound of the crowd singing! She wished that the four of them would always be as happy and joyful as they were this evening.

While everyone was making their wishes, Domino opened one eye mischievously to look at Woodrow standing next to her, who was quite charming to her when she was so serious, but there was always the thought of teasing him a little because Woodrow had just eaten her tofu and was buying it!

“Ah, Domino, why is it me who always gets hurt? You’re such a bad person!”

Woodrow, pretending to be particularly angry, also got a handful of cake cream and faked his revenge by going after Domino, who was holding Octavia’s shoulder. Octavia was watching Woodrow and Domino teasing each other when Woodrow managed to sneak up on Tredan, leaving him with a gloriously stained face.

“Woodrow, what do you mean by that!” Tredan Davi defiantly launched himself at Woodrow, “Octavia, quick, help me cut off his retreat.”

Domino saw what he thought was an attack on her lover by Octavia and Tredan. She rushed over to help Woodrow.

“Let me help you!”

“There you are, my old woman!” As soon as Woodrow saw Domino coming his way like a death machine, he flicked his hand up smearing a trail of cream in Domino’s hair with ease.

“Stinky Woodrow, you’re so bad, how can you do this to me, I was running to save you, how can you be so ungrateful!” An exasperated Domino stomped her feet.

And Tredan Davi and Octavia Gills, watching from the sidelines, laughed out loud as if they were watching a comedy film, these two were meant for each other, they are so funny! This was Tredan Davi’s final word on Domino and Woodrow.

The whole yacht was filled with laughter! Even the stars in that glittery sky overlooking the sea were looking at them and laughing.

Only, Tredan Davi and Octavia Gills could not feel that there was a part of the coast that was angry and sad, preparing for a storm?? waiting for Tredan and Octavia to come ashore.

“I don’t want to go home! Why don’t we go with me and sit with me on the sand! I want to relish the sea wind blowing!” Lilian Drye said to Eddison in the car, who shared the same sense of loss.

Eddison was silent as he turned the car around and drove towards the nearest beach, his mind kept drifting back to every image of Octavia Gills from the day he first met her. Eddison felt content every day, but why was Octavia Gills with Tredan Davi?

“You must be wondering if Octavia is with Tredan now, thinking of what stage the two of them have reached such that Tredan, who claims to love only me, and forsaken me, yes?” Does Tredan love Octavia Gills? These are probably the things that Eddison must have wondered about a million times before she got his answer, and Lilian Drye wants to make Eddison angry and resentful, she wants Eddison to feel the same way she does.

“What do you want to say? Just say it!” Eddison had seen a lot of princesses like Lilian Drye, and it wasn’t usually hard for him to guess what they were thinking, except that now Lilian Drye was no longer in all her glory, she is just a woman who had been abandoned by the man she loved.

“Why don’t you know how to speak politely at all it makes me seem like I’m the one being tactful when I’m being direct.” Lilian Drye waited for Eddison to park the car before opening the door, taking off her high heels, and walking barefoot following the path illuminated by the car’s lights towards the sea. It was unusually cold that night.

Still in the car, Eddison looked at Lilian Drye who was so silent, slowly walking toward the beach without any intention of stopping. Eddison followed her?? worried?? fearing that Lilian Drye will not be able to think straight and do something stupid.

“Lilian, what are you doing? Have you lost your mind?” Eddison pulled Lilian Drye, who was trying to move on, tugging her arm and pulling back hard.

“Are you worried that I’ll think about drowning myself? Silly you! If I die like this, won’t it be easier for Tredan and Octavia, those two bitches? Wouldn’t they be free to be together if I died? I’d be better off alive, and that bitch Octavia would never be able to get rid of her reputation as the third party. Lilian Drye burst into tears and laughed at the same time.

Eddison didn’t say anything and just handed her a tissue. Also lost and heartbroken, Eddison didn’t know how to comfort Lilian Drye. How can someone who can’t even comfort himself ease the pain of others?

Eddison’s heart is also very unhappy, but he can’t vent it out like Lilian Drye, because he’s not even Octavia Gills’ boyfriend, to put it bluntly, it’s just that he’s been unrequitedly in love with Octavia Gills, and he always thought it would be better to take things slow. It was only when he learned that his big brother was the one who caught Octavia Gills’ heart that he realized how much his heart was hurting too and that he had let go of Octavia Gills consoling himself that it was plainly a good feeling.

“Give me a cigarette!” Lilian Drye looked at Eddison who hadn’t reacted from her thoughts, Lilian Drye didn’t ask much more, she took the cigarette directly from Eddison’s hand and lit it up, it wasn’t the first time Lilian Drye had smoked, she just knew that Tredan Davi didn’t like her smoking so she had never smoked in a crowded place because Lilian Drye wanted Tredan to think that she was a very nice girl!

Along the dark shores, Lilian Drye smoked without a care in the world. The usual image of Lilian Drye as the daughter of a prestigious family, a famous woman, and a good girl had an inconvenient side to it!

“Tredan must not have seen you like this before?” Eddison wasn’t close to his big brother, but Eddison never missed a thing about him and wanted to get to know him and be close to him, he just never did!

“Never, in Tredan’s mind I’m not Lilian, I’m just the Lilian who accompanied him abroad for two years, I’ve played it all up, he’s never known or understood, he doesn’t know how much pain and suffering I’ve been through!” Tredan has found that girl now, so Tredan didn’t want her now. Octavia had only been with him for two years, while she, Lilian Drye, had been with him for over ten! There was no comparison. Lilian Drye hated Tredan Davi for the way he had treated her.

“Isn’t that all the same? It doesn’t matter how old you are, aren’t you still you? And why do you even bother playing a role in front of my big brother?” A bewildered Eddison asked Lilian his million-dollar question!

“You want to know how Octavia hooked up with Tredan? You must be dying to know, right?” Seeing that look of anticipation in Eddison’s eyes, Lilian had a clear idea of what Eddison had in mind.

“Octavia’s mother was a maid in my family and by coincidence, her daughter, who was my age, replaced me when I couldn’t leave the country to look after Tredan, who was just three years old, and it was during those two years that Octavia met Tredan. Octavia was born in a rural family with a sick brother and when she found out that she was going to look after the son of Group Davi, one of the most famous companies in the country, she grabbed this opportunity to get close to Tredan. You know what? During the time I was abroad, she found her way into Tredan’s bed and served him every night instead of me, and soon Tredan was helping Octavia’s brother get the best cardiology professor in the world who came back from America just to treat him and to operate on him! Not only that, but he also paid for the high cost of the heart replacement surgery. Don’t you think that a man with power and money is particularly attractive?” Lilian Drye took out another cigarette and lit it up.

“Does it make your heart feel better when you smoke like that? How do you know my big brother has helped Octavia so much and knows so much about it in such detail and so well?” Eddison took the cigarette from Lilian Drye’s hand. “It’s better to smoke less, it makes your throat prickly!” Eddison’s furrowed brows never relaxed, what was Eddison thinking of that Lilian couldn’t seem to fathom it!

” Have you ever thought about if Tredan were in your shoes today, do you think Octavia would give up on him, who has nothing, and choose you, Eddison? You’re no worse looking than your brother, and if you had the same power and position as your brother today, do you think that woman you’re thinking about would turn around and choose you, Eddison?” Lilian Drye smiled meaningfully.

“What do you mean by that, Lilian, watch your language! I’m not as malicious as you!” Eddison had it in his mind that Octavia Gills wasn’t like that, but Lilian Drye reminded him that if his big brother had nothing left, he would go back to Lilian Drye, and Octavia Gills would leave him, and that would be the perfect ending.
