Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee

Chapter: 68
Before long, she came up with another solution as she recalled seeing the
impressive dragon-shaped ring Marcus wore on his left index finger. That ring
was a symbol of status and power.
She could borrow the ring and use it just to get into the party. Of course, she
would return as soon as it was over. That could work.
Now, she just had to get to the black box that was inside the drawer next to the
bed.
That was where he kept the ring.
This time, Millie’s steps were even lighter as she made her way back to the sofa
in the dark and took her phone.
She slowly walked to the bedside table which was unfortunately too close to
Marcus.
Millie squatted down with bated breath. Inch by inch, she pulled open the drawer,
praying to the heavens that it wouldn't make a sound. Just then, the man on the
bed suddenly turned over. Millie froze, her eyes as wide as saucers.
She stayed in that position for a moment, breath withheld, until the room was
completely silent once again. She released the breath she was holding with
relief, and turned the light on her phone to its lowest capacity.
She directed the light into the drawer and saw the black box at the innermost part
of the drawer.
She took it out carefully, her heart beating excitingly again. But, when she
opened it, it was empty.
For the third time that evening, Millie found herself crashing. Where was the ring?
Her eyes unconsciously moved to the man on the bed. If the ring wasn't in the
box, it was supposed to still be on his finger. He must have forgotten to take it off
before sleeping.
She could give up now, but she had already taken so much risk in vain that it
would be stupid not to try this.
Millie made up her mind, and slowly climbed onto the bed, making sure not to
press her full weight on it.
However, as soon as her knees touched the mattress, Marcus’ breathing paused
momentarily, as if he sensed something in his sleep. Millie also stopped
breathing.
She didn’t move a single muscle.

too. She crouched her body, reached

Shit! It was his right hand. His very
bare right hand. Now she had to find

Millie twisted her body at a ninety-degree angle and peered over Marcus. There it
was; the dragon head glowing on his left hand.
“The ring was even more impressive and imposing up close. It was undoubtedly
of great value, and extremely rare too.

Millie cautiously reached out to take
the ring, silently begging him not to
resent her for her actions. He left her
with no choice after refusing that she
go with him. She silently promised to
take care of the ring with her life, until
she returned it to him at the party.

Just before her hand touched the ring, Marcus suddenly rolled over, knocking her
phone out of her hand and pinning her beneath his muscular body.
