(Not) The Billionaire’s Replacement Bride

Gerald walked over quickly. He even tripped over the carpet that was used as a table mat. “What are you doing here?” he asked confused.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Ariana raised an eyebrow. A little offended by the man’s question to him. “Why? You don’t like seeing me here? Do you want me to leave?” Ariana asked sharply.

Gerald shook his head. He has cleared his mind. The reason is that just seeing Ariana in his room surprised him. But he was even more surprised to see Ariana’s current appearance. Gerald didn’t know what the girl meant by wearing such a challenging outfit like this. Usually, Ariana refused when Gerald asked her to wear it and hid behind a large robe. But this time?

Yes. The girl is wearing sexy lingerie that shows off two-thirds of her body skin. For Gerald, this is a dream come true. Seeing the visualization of his sexy wife like the one he had always dreamed of. But he knew that this was some veiled threat. A war that doesn’t know who the winner will end.

Gerald chose to enjoy the beauty as much as he had time. He looked at his wife’s long legs, which looked so smooth and smooth. It would feel like touching a baby’s skin if he touched it. The lingerie didn’t even cover half of her thighs. And Gerald unconsciously licked his lips.

His wife’s arms and part of her upper body were also on display. The black color of the lingerie contrasts with Ariana’s white skin. And the girl’s hair, flowing loosely behind her back, showed off her long neck. It made Gerald so itchy he wanted to hide his face there and smell her body fragrance.

“Hello? Is Ge still here?” Ariana’s voice made Gerald look at his wife. Ariana was still gazing at him with a raised eyebrow. Unbeknownst to Gerald, his wife was trying to hold back her laughter at how he was looking at her.

Gerald took the bait. It was evident that he was very enticed by her body. And Ariana deliberately wore the sexy lingerie without the robe just to challenge him. Ariana could now see the proof of his desire bulging down below. And once again, she smiled because of it.

“So, you don’t like me being here?” Ariana steered the conversation back.

Gerald shook his head vigorously. “It’s not like that, Darling,” he protested. He approached and tried to reach for Ariana, but she shook her head firmly, signaling him to stay in his place. Gerald ran his frustrated hands through his wet hair. “I thought you left earlier,” he said before quickly correcting himself. “I mean, I thought you were hiding again. I tried to contact you, but you blocked my number.” He said, sounding annoyed.

Ariana shrugged her shoulders. Her movements made her hair move and made Gerald even more itchy to touch her.

“Why are you trying to contact me? Tell me that you were surprised by that woman coming to your office and that she came without warning?” Ariana asked again in a challenging manner. The girl spread her legs and folded her arms before her chest. This allowed Gerald to see the woman’s white and sexy breasts. And Gerald could confirm that Ariana wasn’t wearing a bra underneath. And that made his hands want to come closer and touch her even more.

Calm down, Gerald. Calm. His brain warned. He had to restrain his lust, making his head throb with pain. He had to restrain himself. Ariana is still in angry mode at the moment. Controlling the girl’s anger was the first thing he had to do.

“Not like that either, Ariana,” Gerald answered. He intended to give such a reason. But this is Ariana. She is more intelligent than most women.

“Then what? Can you explain it to me in the language I can understand?” Ariana asked in a more relaxed tone. She chose to throw his body on the sofa. She was still folding his arms in front of his chest and raising his right leg over his left leg. Gerald, who was still standing, could even see the bottom of her lingerie being exposed and showing the color of her underwear.

“Even though I took the initiative to invite you to lunch together because I know you are busy. But it turns out I got a pleasant surprise there.” Ariana continued again.

Gerald chose to walk backward and dropped his body on the side of the bed. But his gaze never left Ariana.

“How does it feel to be visited by an ex-lover?” She asked again skeptically. “Or should I change my question? How does it feel to be visited by your first love?” Ariana then snorted. “Of course, happy.” She answered his question.

“After letting go of each other’s longing and telling stories. You feel it’s not enough and intend to continue the story again. Are you planning to renew your broken relationship?” She asked again, still skeptical.

Gerald was about to answer. The man had opened his mouth but then chose to remain silent. Gerald deliberately let Ariana express all her complaints. After all, it was rare for him to hear Ariana speak at length. With the girl making assumptions, Gerald felt happy himself. This is Ariana’s way of showing her jealousy. Is it not like that?

Gerald finally chose to lean back, placing his hands behind his back. “Actually, I was surprised too when she came to the office and invited me for lunch,” he replied casually. “I thought there was no harm in accepting her offer. After all, I had a scheduled meeting with a client outside the office after lunch. So, why not kill two birds with one stone?” Gerald challenged her back.

Ariana went silent. She stared back at Gerald, her eyes narrowing. “Ah, so Vivan wasn’t lying. So you do intend to get close to her again,” she stated, not as a question but as an assertion. She shrugged again. “I guess your intention to go back to her will work,” she continued.

Gerald is now made to freeze. He looked at the girl in confusion. “Don’t you know? Ariana looked at Gerald with a sly smile on her face. “That woman has invited herself to come to this house. And it seems he will greet you tomorrow morning with a bright smile. Her makeup face is perfect. And her clothes are super short, which can make a man’s lust peak. And as much as you like him clinging to your arm, I think he will shamelessly sit tomorrow morning and have breakfast on your lap.” She said irritably.

Gerald was surprised by one fact about Shelma’s presence. However, Ariana’s following words made him smile with delight.

“Are you jealous?” Gerald asked her.

Ariana pointed to herself. “Me? Jealous?” she scoffed. “Dream on,” she said and then stood up. Gerald, seeing her, immediately became alert and stood up as well.

“Where are you going?” he asked, sounding panicked.

Ariana tilted her head toward the wall clock. “Didn’t you see what time it is?” she snapped. “It’s already night, and I want to rest.” She walked towards where Gerald had been sitting, pulled back the covers, and then crawled onto the bed. Seeing Ariana’s body movements as she climbed onto the bed made Gerald growl inwardly. Was she deliberately teasing him by swaying her hips like that? Ariana, who seemed to be aware of being watched, turned her head from behind her shoulder. “What are you looking at? Don’t expect you can touch me. If you want something tangible, look for it in the guest room,” she said, then hid herself under the blanket.

“Hmm…” Ariana recognized the meaning behind that sound. But she ignored it.
