CEO's Substitute Bride

CHAPTER :4

Joseph didn't expect to meet Paige here. He was a little stunned.

What was she doing here?

With multiple gang members and criminals crawling under the shadows, it was not safe place for a woman. Well, it was not a safe place for anyone no matter what, unless she'd like to be liked.

He was tracking a man to this place, but he didn't expect to be attached instead. At this point, it was impossible to escape. Therefore, they had to find a place to hide.

The dwellings were densely packed, and the terrain was complex, so he quickly got disoriented, and it was almost impossible to tell where they were.

He tried to take one of his attacker hostages and then use that man to get away, but somehow, he encountered Paige by accident.

He didn't know why but when he saw the tiny dumb face of Paige, he left an inexplicable sense of trust.

He put his gun away and fixed in her with his gloomy eyes. His voice was low and cold. " What are you doing here?"

"I live here." Although he had already put his gun away, she could still feel the cold remnants of hard metal rubbing against her forehead.

Paige was frightened to the point to tell the truth.

A flash of surprise flashed through Joseph's eyes. What?

How could the daughter of the Moore family live in a place like this?

However, he soon regained his composure and coolly ordered, "Take me to your house."

"Impossible!" Letting this man to her house was equivalent to sign a death note.

"Fine." joseph had expected this before. He sneered and his voice was deep as ghost, "do you want to tell the dear cousin that you seduced me?" 

What? She seduced him. Did this man threaten her just now?

Paige clenched her hands, her face was flushed with anger, but there was nothing she could do. joseph will definitely believe 'Justin'. after all they were cousins. so, she had no options but to listen to this man and take this shameless man to her house.

"Fine." Paige turned around and walked down the same way she came. " Follow me."

This entire conversation has only lasted for one minute. The two of them had just walked down the alley for a few seconds when another loud bang echoed across the streets. After that, two men in black just showed up at the spot where the just were.

Paige froze. Her face paled even more. What was happening? Why were there so many gunshots? 

As soon as Joseph heard the footsteps, he reached quickly and pulled Paige into another alley. He dragged her into a random room to stay in.

The house was already deserted, so there was no chance of getting caught. He put his finger on his lips, indicating her to be quite as he peeked through the door hole. They both waited in the room until the two men left and then he pulled Paige out.

What the hell was?

Paige was both nervous and worried. She didn't know what kind of people 'Justin' had been provoking. But she knew it wasn't time to interrogate him, so she forced herself to keep quiet.

A moment later, they reached to Paige's small single apartment.

Paige stood at the door and looked around as if she was breaking into her own house. Seeing everything was right, the adrenaline in her veins dulled out and she retreated into the room.
