Chapter: CHAPTER 55 The flight home was peaceful. Most especially because I didn't see Kim anywhere. Our last encounter wasn't one I would want to repeat again. She irritated me so much I felt like doing something crazy to her like maybe pull her hair but that was way below my league. "I am more classy for such low behavior like that." I said to myself as I smiled."Cherry, why are you smiling?" Adam asked as he pulled close to him."Nothing" I muttered before clearing my throat."Really?" He didn't believe me, I could see it in his eyes but I care less because there is no way in the world I will tell him what my thoughts were then he will see me as the jealous type.'Oh no,' I shuddered because I'm not, although my subconscious didn't agree with me. I shake it off."Cherry?" He called again, drawing me out of my thought"Ohm, oh how I miss my mom and dad. I hope dad is much better now." I said, changing the topic immediately."Oh, come here." He pulled me clos

Chapter: CHAPTER 54CATHERINE POV Before I knew what was happening the week was almost over and the day of our return arrived. It was one of the best weeks of my life that I have experienced in a short while. Adam made my stay here very special with his constant care and attention that I almost forgot the presence of Kendal.Although I can see that Kendal's behavior has changed towards me to a more positive one, I can't still shake the feeling that she was up to something. But after days went by and nothing suspicious happened, my guard sort of loosened as I relaxed more in her presence.Getting to know her, I came to realize she isn't really a bad person as I assumed the first time. Yes, we both started on the wrong foot but that's because Adam and I had some little misunderstanding. But now that it's settled, I feel more happy. Once I return, the first thing I would do is call my best friend and tell her all about my experience here and that we were both wrong in our assumption of A

Chapter: CHAPTER 53 Due to the hectic traffic on the road, Michael purposefully spent too long in the shower, letting the cold water slide down his skin and calming his nerves which happened to work except for the very bulging friend refusing to go down regardless of how long he spent under the cold shower. As he stared down, he saw his manhood protruding with every minute that past seeking to sink into the sweet hole of Michelle's tempting center. Feeling a little bit better, he turned the shower off before stepping out and wrapping a white towel around his waist. From where he stood, Michael could smell the sweet aroma coming from his room and he knew immediately Michelle had arrived and served his dinner. Feeling famished, he hurriedly damp his body dry before entering his room only to see a naked Michelle perfectly curled, lying peacefully on his bed. His already hard member probed further, vibrating as he kept staring down at her. Feeling Michael's gaz

Chapter: CHAPTER 52 The drive to his pent house was annoyingly long and stressful at the same time due to the hectic traffic on the road. Because he left office late although not intentionally, Michael thought the traffic would have lessened by now but he was very wrong as it was still very much serious. After spending close to two hours for a drive meant to be fifteen minutes or less on a normal day free of traffic Michael let out a deep sigh of relief when Andrew, his driver, pulled up directly in front of his big black gate before honking. "Finally," Michael muttered, making Andrew smile, feeling sorry for his boss for having to go through the stress. "I'm sorry boss,” he apologized. “For what?” “For having to go through the stress and getting stuck in traffic.” Gaining his attention, Michael stared at him through the front mirror as he cocked

Chapter: CHAPTER 51 Catherine has never slept so peacefully like she did last night without any worry at all. Apart from the one time she woke up in the middle of the night she didn't wake again until this morning. And the reason for her waking up that one time was to tell Adam he can share the bed with her because it wasn't a bother to her. If it weren't for his stubbornness, Adam would have slept on the bed right from the beginning. But he kept insisting he wouldn't in order not to upset her although she told him she was okay with it. Adam still refused and then she gave in to his request as long as it made him happy. But when she saw him turning and tossing on the couch uncomfortably, Catherine was unable to fall asleep too knowing Adam was having a hard time falling asleep. Sighing, Catherine went to drag him from the couch and forced him to share the bed with her. Smiling, she stared at his cute face as he slept peacefully just like a c

Chapter: CHAPTER 50 Getting on her feet, Kendal helped herself up before throwing the cookies in her hand in anger. She stared at the closed door and her blood boiled within her as Kendal thought of the things they could possibly be doing at the moment, she wanted to go crazy. Looking at the empty cup of smoothie Adam and Catherine just finished consuming she swiped everything down to the floor, shattering it. She screamed as she went to the kitchen to break some more things but stopped the moment she heard Naomi's voice. "What do you think you're doing?" Freezing in place, Kendal turned slowly to face Naomi who was standing fuming in anger as she saw the mess Kendal had made. "What's all this? Can you tell me why broken glass and plates are scattered all over my house?" Walking out of the kitchen, Kendal tried to make her way back to her room but got stopped by Naomi as she grabbed her arm and put her back in place. "Listen to me yo

Chapter: Chapter 65: The Investigation LogsElena’s POVOn the fourth morning, the heavy iron lock on my double doors clicks open with a sharp rattle.I jump up from the velvet sofa, my heart pounding wildly. For three endless days, the sound of that lock has been my torment — always closing, never opening. Now, at last, it shifts.Harris steps inside the room. He does not carry a food tray. Instead, he holds a sleek digital tablet in his wrinkled hands. His old eyes soften as they meet mine, and for the first time since my imprisonment began, I see a faint, comforting smile on his lips.“Mr. Sterling requires your presence in the private study, Miss Elena,” Harris says gently, his voice low and steady.My breath catches. My pulse hammers against my ribs. “Is… is my grandmother safe, Harris?” I gasp out, my voice breaking with a pure wave of anxiety.Harris glances toward the hallway, ensuring the guards are out of earshot. Then he leans closer, his voice dropping to a whisper. “She is safe, child. Mr. Sterling’s private invest

Chapter: Chapter 64: The Cold CageElena’s POVThree days pass in total isolation.The silence inside the West Wing suite is suffocating. The heavy wooden doors remain locked, the iron key never turning from the outside except when the guards deliver food trays. They arrive exactly at eight, one, and seven, their boots thudding against the marble floor outside. They never speak a single word to me. They set the silver tray down, knock once, and leave.My personal phone is gone, taken by Harris on the first night. My access to the estate’s network has been severed. I am blind to the outside world, cut off from every lifeline.I pace back and forth across the cream carpet for hours, my mind spinning fast. The walls feel closer each day, the velvet curtains heavier, the air thicker.Is my grandmother still alive? Did my father discover the swap blew up and turn off her machines out of spite? The guilt and terror settle deep inside my stomach, making it hard to swallow a single bite of food. The untouched trays pile up on

Chapter: Chapter 63: The LockdownElena’s POV“Alexander, please!” I beg, taking a desperate step toward him. My voice cracks, raw from sobs. But he turns his back to me completely, his massive frame rigid, his coat sweeping as he pivots away.“Harris!” Alexander barks, his voice booming across the grand foyer.The elderly butler steps inside the room, his old face pale and full of deep, silent sorrow. His eyes flicker toward me, soft with sympathy, before bowing his head toward his master.“Lock her inside the West Wing suite immediately,” Alexander orders flatly, his tone dropping to a freezing low. “Disconnect her mobile phone lines, deactivate her security network access, and post two armed guards outside her doors. She does not step a single foot out of her room until my investigators verify every line of this fraud.”The words strike me like a death sentence.“Yes, Mr. Sterling,” Harris murmurs softly. His voice trembles, but his obedience is absolute.I shake my head violently, my tears spilling over. “No! Plea

Chapter: Chapter 62: The ConfrontationElena’s POVTears of pure panic burn behind my eyes. The truth is out. The giant lie is dead.“My name is Elena,” I whisper, my real, gentle voice finally breaking through my sister’s fake act completely. My throat tightens as the words escape, fragile and trembling. I look straight into his dark lenses, my body shaking. “I am Alyssa’s twin sister. A ghost child my father hid from the world to cover up his past scandal.”Alexander goes completely rigid. His massive frame towers over my chair like a predator ready to strike. His fists curl at his sides, his shoulders tense, and the scar on his cheek gleams under the morning light.“A twin swap,” he growls softly, his voice shaking with a terrifying, deep rage. “You stood at that altar and signed a fake name to a multi‑billion‑pound legal contract. You look into my eyes every night and feed me a total lie.”The words slice through me like knives. My knees weaken, but I force myself to stand, a harsh sob escaping my throat. “I had no cho

Chapter: Chapter 61: The DiscoveryElena’s POVThe next morning, the mansion is unnervingly quiet. The silence feels unnatural, heavy, as though the walls themselves are holding their breath. I sit inside the formal dining room, dressed in one of Alyssa’s bright silk gowns, but the food on my plate remains untouched. The steam from the eggs curls upward and fades into nothing, just like my appetite. My fork lies abandoned beside the porcelain dish, my hands folded tightly in my lap.My mind is stuck on his warning from the greenhouse last night. His voice had been low, sharp, and final — a blade pressed against my throat. I barely slept, and now every tick of the grandfather clock in the hall feels like a countdown.The heavy double doors creak open.Alexander steps inside. He does not sit. He does not greet me. He moves with the quiet authority of a predator, his long strides carrying him across the polished floor. His matte‑black shield mask is locked securely over his features, hiding everything except the raw tensi

Chapter: Chapter 60: The Predator in the DarkElena’s POV The heavy iron door clicks shut, and the sound of the security guards' boots completely fades into the pouring storm outside. The greenhouse is in total, suffocating darkness. The only noise left is the steady roar of the rain hitting the glass roof above my head.My chest is pressed flat against the wet dirt floorboards, my heart hammering wildly against my ribs."You can get up now, Alyssa," Alexander’s rough whisper vibrates through the quiet space again. "I know you are hiding under that bench."Panic freezes my limbs, but I force my body to move. I slowly slide out from beneath the wooden workbench, my bare, trembling hands dripping with wet mud as I stand up. I pull back my shoulders, trying to find my sister's proud posture in the pitch blackness, but my legs shake so violently I can barely keep my balance.I cannot see a single line of his face, but his massive, broad-shouldered frame stands just two feet away from me. His terrifying, cold presence fills my senses
