I'm Just a Substitute
Suspicious

The pensive Tiara stared at the front garden of her house and let out a long sigh.

"Ah, it seems like my wish for Bella to be found before the wedding day is getting smaller. There's no word yet on Bella. Even father didn't say anything", Tiara thought in a sad heart.

"Mother has also disappeared for several days, lest the mother get involved with the disappearance of Bella. Mother pampered Bella very much and always obeyed Bella's will", Tiara thought suspiciously.

Tiara certainly did not expect that her foster father was also involved, so her wish for Bella to be found before the wedding day, was a futile hope.

I don't know how many times Tiara sighed to reduce the burden on her heart. Tiara's gaze this time turned to her short-sighted mobile phone

Tiara immediately picked up the phone and saw the incoming email notification on her phone.

Tiara had indeed changed her phone number so that Bram could not contact her again, but it turned out that Bram had not given up, Bram had tried many times to contact Tiara by email.

"I'm sorry, Bram, I hope you'll forget me soon. I hope you soon find a girl whose everything surpasses mine. Sorry, if I let you down" Tiara told herself, trying to shake off her guilt for Bram.

Tiara also did not want to open an email from Bram anymore, because she was afraid that her heart would get sadder and become worried again.

"Of Ara, what to fear! Just get married. I also married a rich man. Not everyone gets this kind of luck, can marry a rich and respected person, even if he is blind!", said Tiara comforting and encouraging himself.

Tiara was indeed a strong-hearted and optimistic girl, even Tiara rarely shed tears, but even what she said, was not in accordance with her heart that was still feeling uneasy, she said, however, he still feels the trepidation of having to replace Bella in order to marry Mr. Eden, whom he has never met!

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

Only this time Eden and Mery have the same view in making a decision. Usually Eden always acted contrary to all the wishes of Mery, his stepmother.

Eden did not like anyone who replaced his mother, even though his mother was gone. Eden has a suspicious heart, especially she always thinks that a stepmother is always synonymous with bad and sincere. Moreover, they are a rich family, so Eden thinks that Mery married his father because of his property and position only.

Finally Eden and Mery's relationship is not very good. Though Mery is quite good to him, even Mery's relationship with Lily, his sister who is currently still studying abroad is quite good.

"That means you're sure that your marriage to Bella doesn't need to be celebrated, just sign the marriage license?", asked Mery reassuringly again, because all this time Eden was always opposite to him.

Even when he first betroth Eden and Bella, it is not easy, maybe Eden will not want, if only she was not helped Nugroho, her husband.

"Yes! How many times do I have to say? With my current situation, it is not free, just ask Bella, is she willing to marry without a party?", said Eden ketus, "If she is not willing, yes, just cancel!", keep Eden light again.

"Of course she is willing, Bella is an understanding woman, of course she understands your decision" said Mery showed the advantages of Bella

Hearing Mery's reply, Eden fell silent.

"I'm not sure Bella would agree. I've met Bella once, she looks very glamorous, although I have to admit she is very beautiful.

How could she agree to marry me without celebration like the original plan?", thought Eden inwardly who had judged Bella badly since the first meeting.

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

Eden did not really like the appearance of Bella who could be said to be like a movie star. It must be admitted that Bella's appearance is very perfect and beautiful. But Eden preferred a woman who looked the way she was, like her late mother used to.

When Eden was blind, she hoped that her marriage to Bella would be annulled.

Especially since the first Eden was forced to accept Bella as his future wife because of her father's insistence.

In order to please her ailing father, Eden finally accepted the match.

Eden who is quiet and busy continuing his father's business, very rarely socialize, finally Eden is just busy with his work, even has forgotten that his age is enough for a family.

Eden could not dwell anymore, when the father also threatened to give power to Mery, if Eden still did not want to accept the prospective wife who had been sought Mery.

Eden knows her father never messed with her words, especially the father also trusts Mery enough.

Eden is forced to accept his future wife, Bella, whom he knows is Mery's niece.

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

After experiencing blindness, the nature of Eden became even worse. Easy emotions only because of small problems and the nature of the curios increasingly so.

"I will ask Aunt Mery to hasten this marriage, and I will see where Bella can stand to serve me. It's good that he can't stand it, I wonder how Aunt Mery could make excuses for dad, if his niece ran away leaving me this blind!", Eden finally broke up.

But it turns out that Mery finally agreed to Eden's request for marriage to accelerate.

Finally Eden thought of another way for Bella to object to marrying him

That's why Eden asked Mery to speak.

Mery, who was first shocked to hear that Eden asked him to go to his room because he wanted to talk about something, immediately approached Eden.

Mery who did not think that Eden asked that her marriage did not want to be celebrated, of course immediately cried out happily in his heart. However the fewer people who recognized Tiara, the better it would be for the renewal he had planned.

Eden was more confused when Mery immediately agreed his wish, even Mery immediately agreed with his wish this time.

In contrast to his first request, when Eden requested that his marriage be expedited, arguing that he wanted his wife to take care of him, not someone else, Mery had objected.

But finally their debate was won by Eden, after Nugroho also agreed with Eden's wishes, if it was better for his wife to take care of Eden than others.

"Married now or six months is the same, in the end married too" Nugroho said in a video call to Mery, so Mery could not refuse Eden's desire again.

Mery could only stare in annoyance at Eden, and grew even more annoyed when he saw Eden's triumphant smile.

"Just this time seeing her smile again after being blinded, she always felt happy that she won an argument with me. What a logical thing, speeding up the marriage in just a week!", Mery grumbled only in the heart at that time, because he was not sure Bella was willing or not.

Surely Bella did not want to, not even because it was accelerated, but Bella did not want to have a husband who was blind, although rich.

And Mery is grateful, they finally find a way out, replacing Bella with Tiara.

"At least Tiara is more reliable than Bella who is too spoiled, I'm sure it won't be until one day, Bella will run away if she serves Eden", mery said at the time Mita proposed replacing Bella with Tiara.

"How should I be responsible to Nugroho if Bella escapes?", continued Mery who immediately agreed with Mita's proposal at that time.
