Being an adopted twice was never easy for Nikki, she was grateful for the second time but is it enough to save her adopted parents from the embarrassment and be a substitute bride to the guy who hates her with so much passion. ****** My head is reeling. I look at my parents, they look confused too. I'd be too if I am in their shoes. They must be torn between saving their company or giving away the only man their daughter ever loved to another woman. I run my hands to my face. "What's the deal anyway?" I surrender. "Y'all said substitute bride. How hard can it be to stand in the altar in an hour or two?" I shrugged my shoulder. "Who says about just standing in the altar?" Alex lean on my ear. "Baby you have to fulfill whatever obligation that comes after the word bride." He said loud and clear enough for all the people in the room to hear.
