Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee

Marcus’ icy stare was fixed on Millie's pale forehead as he threatened in a steely
tone, “Dare to spread rumors like this again, and I'll break your legs.”
Millie's lips twitched at the ominous threat. His imposing aura silenced her,
rendering her too terrified to retaliate.
Unhappily, Millie dropped her gaze, hoping to shield herself from Marcus’ icy
stare.
To her dismay, a splash of red arrested her eyes—a silk scarf negligently
discarded not too far away!
An unsettling premonition began to curl in Millie’s gut.
With a sense of impending doom, she rose from her seat, each footfall echoing
her rising unease. She stooped to collect the item—a silk scarf of the type
donned by women—that had previously escaped her notice.
Drawing it closer, she inhaled and was greeted with the unmistakable scent of
feminine perfume. The world seemed to stop, her mind echoing the emptiness of
the moment.
Some other woman must have come here before her. Millie pieced it together in
her head.
Her eyes flicked to Marcus, a question woven in their depths.
Marcus, noticing her focus, furrowed his brows at the sight of the silk scarf in
Millie's grasp. Undoubtedly a remnant of Rhea’s presence, he concluded.
Overwhelmed, Millie lost hold of her composure. The silk scarf was clenched in
her hand, and her gaze was nailed to Marcus.
“You cretin!” she spat out.
Marcus, catching the venom in Millie's gaze, immediately understood her
mistaken assumption. He closed the distance between them, placing a placating
hand on her shoulder.
“You're misunderstanding,” he implored.
Upon realizing Millie wasn’t paying him any heed, a knot of anxiety formed in his
chest.
He hastened to clarify, “Il won't deny that another woman was here before your
arrival. This scarf is hers, but nothing transpired between us. You must've noticed
the effect of the drugs. It was Rhea’s doing, as is this scarf. I made her leave.”
Millie's lower lip was caught between her teeth. “Rhea?” she mused aloud,
recalling the hurried woman she'd crossed paths with at the hotel entrance.

Millie found logic in his words. His eager reception upon her arrival did not
suggest any recent rendezvous with Rhea.
