It was just two years ago that the Cintron twins graduated from the university, they both studied fashion design together. Adele decided to study fashion design but because of Adaline's disorder, she was asked to study fashion design along with her twin and she obliged without any further questioning.
Though fashion designing was suggested to Adaline by her parent, she still did well and excelled.Adaline and Adele were a pair of identical twins, opposite of themselves. Adele was known to love people acknowledging and praising her like a goddess, she always had a warm and lovely smile on her beautiful face that was no different from Adaline.Adaline was a dumb girl, she was always mute and was known to always be alone with a poker face giving out no emotion on her expressionless face. It was as if she hated her presence being known and if she and Adele made an appearance in public gatherings together, it was always Adele who caught the attention while she was like an unwanted background and a cold statue.Although they were identical, they could still be differentiated, Adaline had charcoal black hair, very long reaching the middle of her buttocks, dark soulless eyes that could never let out a smile or emotion, all it did was look and close for a night of sleep.Adele had chocolate brown hair, which was just in the middle of her back, wavy and shiny, she had light brown eyes that shone brightly whenever she smiled heartily in contentment.Inside a bedroom that gave off a girlish vibe, it was painted in cream and gold and a touch of peach, a very wide room with a walk-in closet. On the queen-size bed, two figures sat on the bed while the older one tries to pacify the younger who was nothing but her sweet daughter.Being denied what she wanted after so many pleas and tears, she was devastated and sad, all she wanted was to get married to the man of her dreams, she never asked for anything much. She was the best, was more lovely, the only one bringing good attention and respect to her family but why was it so hard to get what she wanted? Her twin sister who came second after her in everything as she had always thought was made to get married to the legendary Mr Drew, was the same person she had fantasized about getting married to.Not many people had the privilege of seeing the face of the CEO of The Euston's Corporations, not many had seen him but so many rumours surrounded him, known as a heartless man, a cold-blooded devil, a psychopath and many more to mention but a few. The people who never had the pleasure of seeing him always deduced that he was an ugly potbellied short man in his 60s or 50s but it turns out that they were wrong because Adele Cintron, the beauty that stole people's breath away with her smiles had seen him with her own two eyes and being awestruck was not good enough to describe how she felt that night she saw him.That very night, as usual, was one of the nights she and her twin followed their father Mr Thom for a dinner party, a lot of influential and business elites around the country attended the gathering but it was a mystery who threw the dinner party.Adele got the attention and praises she always wanted and Adaline just sat low-key in a quiet chair, They did so many chattings and laughter in merry, making toasts and greeting both old and new friends. Adele had felt the urge to pee so she excused herself with her usual happy energy and left for the bathroom but on her way passing the hallway to the bathroom, she heard a female voice and the sound of a stiletto hitting the marble floor as the person ran with urgency but something else caught her interest, it was the word coming out of the lady's mouth, the lady was wearing typical office wear, she held a mobile phone that was flashing lights as she ran approaching a person as she said the words, 'Mr Drew! You have an emergency call that needs your attention now, Mr Drew!'Out of mere curiosity, Adele turned her head towards the direction the lady was running and she saw a very handsome man who had a deep frown on his beautiful and well-carved eyebrows when he stared at the lady running towards him, his lips were pursed in a thin line, his nose pointy and sexy, his black eyes narrowed, he was tall and well built with great physics visible under his expensive tailored suit.Adele saw him collect the phone from the lady and placed it on his ears and took long and heavy strides out of the hallway, she stood there as she saw him pass by her without even giving her a single look, he smelt so good and manly that already intoxicated her when he passed by her. Adele was completely lost and rooted to the ground, she could not find her feet to move, her mouth slightly open as she was almost drooling.Did she just see a Greek god? Or was it her imagination playing with her reality?She was jolted back to reality when she heard the sound of the stiletto and it stopped when she saw the lady standing before her giving her a questioning look that said 'why are you staring at my boss like that?' and it was as if Adele got the message and she immediately asked the lady who was the god of manly beauty that she saw just now? She could never believe that that man was Mr Drew, that was impossible, Mr Drew was an ugly man and with the rumours, he could not be anywhere close to this Adonis, and she wanted to know if there was another Mr Drew but it was as if the lady was not interested in giving her the information she needed, the lady was about to leave and Adele decided to offer her money and after so much bargaining, the lady finally complied and gave out the information of her boss to Adele, Adele was in a state of shock, so the rumours were after all lies, Mr Drew was never ugly, neither was he fat or old, he was beyond beautiful and handsome.But it wouldn't be her who would end up marrying Mr Drew but her mute twin would get married to him, how would she ever let that happen? She would do anything she could to make sure Mr Drew marries her regardless of whether her parent would agree or not, she needed an urgent plan."What I mean is, I want the marriage date to be pushed nearer. I want the marriage to take place quickly, father. I have finally accepted that I wouldn't be the one to marry Mr Drew and I'm happy for my sister. I want the celebration to take place as quickly as possible, father."Adele's statement did not only shock Mr Thom but also Mirabelle, she was awed at Adele's acting prowess. Why didn't she join the movie industry? She would be the best actress of all time!Although surprised, he didn't reply immediately. He looked intently at Adele, gauging her expression as if wanting to read through her thoughts."I'm happy you've finally understood why I didn't want you to marry that psychopath. You've finally grown and can now understand situations, that's good." He nodded but Adele wasn't pleased with her father's words. She held on the hem of her dress tightly so that her anger wouldn't show on her face.Psychopath?! He is not who you think he is, urghh!"Your idea sounds great too. The
"Look at that. Mirabelle, don't you agree that my father is such a hardworking man?"Adele spoke and held a proud smile, her words brought the attention of both men on them. But the person whom the question was directed at was lost in her own world. Mirabelle held a dreamy look and her eyes that were glued on the man who stood beside the CEO's table were filled with unspoken emotions. Obviously infatuation. –Author rolls her eyes–The man Mirabelle was staring at shamelessly, undressing him with her eyes, was Matthew Edgerly, Mr Thom's personal assistant.He was a tall man with a nice build, shoulder length strawberry blonde hair which he swept to the back, making his chiseled face more prominent.His voice was deep and he spoke smoothly that Mirabelle felt like she should swallow his mouth whole. In a few words, Matthew was sexy and Mirabelle was obviously hooked. She wanted him.The urge of having him to herself had her clenching her hands and thighs together, to calm herself down.
Mirabelle felt her insides churn the moment they arrived at Cintron's company. She quickly got out of the car and she thought she would throw up everything inside her, but thankfully, she didn't."Hey, that's so much of a ride. We could have died." Mirabelle gasped as she threw an accusatory look at Adele."My apologies that I'm not sorry. Maybe next time you could use your own car." Adele had her brows raised in nonchalance which had Mirabelle snorting in disbelief."I bet you don't know how ugly you look with your bish attitude towards me. For the love of God, am your one and only bestie." She pointed her index finger towards herself as if the whole world had wronged her."And that's why I'm lovingly being honest with you. If you're going to keep sulking, then just shut up." Adele spoke to have Mirabelle roll her eyes upwards and they both stepped into the building.They didn't have to go through any formal process to gain entrance into the building because everyone in the company,
Justin didn't protest to Drew's words, he was more than happy to abide by whatever Drew requested him to do but the same could not be said for Natalie. Her face crumbled the moment Drew stopped them from entering the backseat, he gestured for her to go to the front passenger seat beside Justin."Why should I sit there when I am your guest? Don't tell me you don't know how to treat people right." Natalie widened her eyes at Drew in anger and disbelief. She was really getting fed up at how she was being treated today and how Drew was behaving towards her. Nobody had ever dared to embarrass her to this much extent, she was being treated with respect wherever she went and she was finding Drew's attitude towards her very insultive.But Drew was the least bothered. "Ms Madison, if you have no interest in accompanying us for breakfast then you can leave rather than disrupt our time." Drew said dryly without sparing her a glance. Knowing that if she kept arguing with Drew it would change n
"I still can't hear you." There was a devilish grin on Drew's face and Adaline wanted to so much punch his face so hard that those smiles would disappear."I said I want them to join us." She repeated and Drew silently stared at her. His hands were still around her waist and he could feel how soft and small she was in his hands. Drew was elated that Adaline spoke to him. Her voice was soft and melodious, he could kill to hear her speak to him. Drew felt Adaline struggle in his hold."No." His voice was firm and Adaline didn't know what he said the no for. Was the no for her struggling to leave his grasp or for her words. She stopped struggling and tilted her head with a frown."They won't come. It's just the both of us and I am trying to make up for not being present yesterday." Drew spoke with a frown. He wasn't present yesterday but when he arrived at night, he saw her sleeping soundlessly on his bed. After helping her change from her uncomfortable dress in the dark room, he slept r
Drew was taken aback by Adaline's gesture. He stiffened and finally relaxed when she patted his chest. Is she trying to calm me down? Drew asked himself in inward amusement and he felt satisfied."Am fine." Drew whispered but Adaline still stood where she was and didn't move. She also didn't know why she suddenly leaned close to Drew and patted his chest but it happened even before she could comprehend it. But it doesn't look so bad. She thought back at what Natalie said to Drew, though she was in full support of his decision, she didn't think this was the right time. Judging from what she heard and understood from Natalie, there could be a consequences for Drew if he left Natalie like that when she came to see him, probably for business related things.Adaline wasn't into business like her father, but she knew how this things work. The business world was filled with people who hated to be dominated by another yet they still desire to dominate another to rise to the top. And she knew
