Billionaire's Substitute Wife
The Substitute Bride
In a brilliantly well-decorated resort in the post suburbs.
In a dazzling bridal suite with a big poster of 'Brinda's Big Day' hanging above the four-poster white bed.
Bianca Taylor, Brinda's younger sister is seated on the sofa, frustratingly pulling at her hair in sorrow.
Bianca Taylor
Why, why.. oh why did she have to leave right before I could tell Father about Nathan's proposal? I had been building up the confidence for the past six months!
Bianca Taylor
What the hell do I do now?
Bonny Taylor
Bianca? What are you doing here? Didn't your father ask you to get ready for the wedding? All the guests are here and Kai would be arriving soon! Get up!
*Bianca looking dejected at the sight of the white gown laid out which once was supposed to be worn by Brinda, walks silently towards her mother with tears in her eyes*
Bianca Taylor
*looks at her shabby self on the mirror with tears running down her cheeks*
Mom, you don't have any problem with Dad making me your scapegoat?
Bonny Taylor
*frustratingly*
How can you say this, considering your Dad's situation...considering your family's situation? Your sister has left us ashamed in front of the Sebastians and the whole society!
Bianca Taylor
Then is it at all fair for me to shoulder the burden of my sister's mistake? YOU KNOW HOW MUCH KAI LIKES BRINDA! This is not fair on him too!
Jay Taylor
*enter hurriedly* What are you still doing not dressed? Do you want us to die of shame? The Sebastians are here. Bonny, come along. We have a lot to discuss with Kelvin and Sheila about the new situation.
Jay Taylor
*throws Bianca a dirty glance before hurrying out*
Bianca Taylor
*slides down the bed post with all hopes lost*
Why...why...
Bonny Taylor
*forcefully hands her the bouquet*
Bonny Taylor
I don't want to hear another whimper out of you. Make yourself presentable for the guests...do it for us...for once fulfil your duty as our daughter.
Bonny Taylor
Don't forget, we gave you a roof and the best education for the 24 years of your life.
*walks out without any remorse*
Bianca Taylor
Yes...yes…you did.
Bianca Taylor
*mumbling to herself in agony*
Bianca Taylor
And always made me feel like a burden you'd give anything to get off of your back. Ironically, I would give anything to get out of this house...only if...only if it didn't mean selling my independence yet again.
Bianca Taylor
I wish that woman didn't leave me alone with you people! I wish I was never born!
*bursts out into sobs*
As Bianca gets ready for this unwanted marriage, The Sebastians and the Taylors are having a heated argument on Brinda's disappearance.
Kai Sebastian, in his dapper groom suit paces the room in a baffled daze left to right as the parents argue.
Sheila Sebastian
Surely, you don't mean we fool these people by replacing the bride? Everyone KNOWS Kai and Brinda are the ones to be wedded! They're here for THEIR wedding!
Kelvin Sebastian
This is preposterous! You know we have a whole business merger coming up with this wedding. This simply won't do. A lot is at stake! How can you allow this to happen, Jay?
Jay Taylor
Kelvin, please calm down. We have thought of all possible outcomes ever since the morning when Brinda left. We can't afford to lose face!
Bonny Taylor
And everything will be fine. Bianca has agreed. You can go on with the merger. Things will go accordingly.
Kai abruptly stops and angrily turns towards Bonny Taylor.
Kai Sebastian
If only you had arranged for things to work accordingly a little while early.
Saying so, he aggressively loosens his tie and storms off the room, leaving the parents baffled.
Sheila Sebastian
Oh, look at how unhappy my boy is! *tears up*
Kelvin Sebastian
Are you absolutely sure about this, Jay? I mean we're not only talking about just a ceremony here. This might affect our investors.
Sheila Sebastian
More than that, it's about Kai. I really don't know if Bianca would be able to fit Brinda's shoes. She's not the one we chose! She's not fit to be Mrs. Kai Sebastian.
Bonny Taylor
Don't worry about it, Sheila. You just have to put up with her until the merger is intact anyway. We don't care if Kai decides to go for divorce after all of this is over.
Jay Taylor
*assuredly, patting Kelvin's back*
Yes, absolutely. We're truly sorry about Brinda's action. She's not usually as careless.
Jay Taylor
And Kelvin, you don't have to worry about the investors. They've interacted with Bianca during the meetings. I am sure they won't have any problem on what goes on between our two families so long everything falls somewhat in place for the merger to happen.
Kelvin and Sheila look at each other in tension.
Bonny Taylor
*notices their exchange and becomes nervous*
For the merger to be perfect, we don't have any problem if Brinda comes back and Kai and her marry again. It's just a temporary fix anyway. Bianca won't be a problem.
*assuring and nods vigorously*
Kelvin Sebastian
*enraged*
You might not have a problem with that, but it's also about the Sebastians' honour and respect in the country! Your daughter has made a fool out of us!
Sheila Sebastian
*pats his arm to calm him down*
Sheila Sebastian
Honey, there seems to be no choice.
A dead silence prevails as Kelvin thinks deep. Bonny and Jay exchange desperate glances.
Kelvin Sebastian
I am still allowing this to happen because there's lot at stake here for us as well. And I'll make sure the media knows that it is in fact Brinda who is marrying Kai today and not her substitute sister. Of course, only if Kai agrees to this.
Kelvin Sebastian
*pointing a finger at Jay*
And you, Jay Taylor, are in a big trouble if Brinda doesn't reappear!
Bianca Taylor
What? Let me sleep for another hour... I've been awake writing another romance novel.
Kai Sebastian
*gritting his teeth*
Some people are looking at us. Get up at once!
Kai Sebastian
*flicks her forehead*
Bianca Taylor
Well, let them see.
Bianca Taylor
Ask them to give me some suggestions to tame my hubby.
Kai Sebastian
Why are they laughing at us? What did you do?
Bianca Taylor
Well, I was going to tell them our love story but now that they are already here, I'll just...show them.
Bianca Taylor
*pulls his tie, and he falls on top of her*
Kai Sebastian
*smiles and starts tickling her*
Bianca Taylor
Wait...haha...hold on... What about these people staring at us?
Kai Sebastian
*gets up and comes closer to the audience*
Well, now that you're already here, get ready to witness the best romance story in the world.
Kai Sebastian
*winks at Bianca*
