BRIAN

The bell above the coffee shop door jingled as I stepped in. I’ve had my eyes on Monica for the past few hours and I knew where exactly she’d gone, right after the gym. I spotted her immediately, sitting at a corner table, scrolling through her phone in a relaxed manner.

I approached her gently, every instinct warning me that this conversation could go sideways fast. But I had no choice. Lisa was… the competition was coming up, and I couldn’t let Monica pull any stunts that would complicate things. That’s not happening on my watch.

“Monica,” I said, sliding into the seat across from her without waiting for an invitation. My voice was calm but cold.

She looked up, her eyes narrowing slightly, and a smile slowly showing at the corners of her lips. “Brian,” she greeted calmly. “Didn’t expect to see you here.”

I leaned forward slightly, lowering my voice. “I know you know about Lisa’s competition. I’m here to warn you. Don’t do anything… Else you won’t like how I’ll follow

  • All I want for Christmas is my ex husband’s twin brother    58| Fuck me already

    LISA I was already shivering when we reached a nearby 5 star hotel. The receptionists and a few people recognized me, but they don’t actually look like those that attended the gala.. The hotel was filled with Christmas spirit.. from the songs to the decorations and the outfits of the workers. Brian signed us in without ceremony, one hand still steadying me by the elbow as if he was afraid I’d disappear the moment he let go.“Room 1208,” the receptionist said with a polite smile.Brian nodded. “Thank you.”The elevator ride was quiet, but not uncomfortable… I was getting a bit warm but still shivered. As Brian’s hands were on palms as I used my other hand to hold my cape together, covering me fully. “You’ll be okey Lisa… a real hot bath would do.” he said like a whisper. I let out a shaky smile. The elevator chimed as the doors slid open, and he walked us down until we reached the door, swiped the card, and pushed it open. The room was… perfect.Not extravagant. Just perfect.

  • All I want for Christmas is my ex husband’s twin brother    57| Snow time

    LISA People danced again. Laughed. Drank. Talked. The night kept moving, like it was meant to. But for me, everything felt different now. Lighter. Like something heavy had finally been set down.I still didn’t feel weird which convinced me that Monica didn’t spike my drink. Maybe her real intention was to break my mask after all. Brian and I stayed on the dance floor longer than I expected.We didn’t talk much at first.We actually didn’t need to.We just kept staring at each other like our eyes were saying what our lips were meant to. His hand stayed at my waist, in a protective… or rather possessive manner. My fingers rested against his shoulder, I was relaxed for the first time all night.“You okay?” he asked quietly.I nodded.“Yeah. Really okay.”He smiled softly. “I’m glad.”We danced through two songs. Then three.People stopped us between tracks.“Lisa, that was iconic.”“You were fearless.”“You stole the night trust me.”“ Monica must have made the fall intentional becau

  • All I want for Christmas is my ex husband’s twin brother    56| It all went wrong

    MONICA watching her on the floor gave me a spark on joy. I pushed her hard.. I definitely knew her mask would break. You think you’ve won lisa!!You’ll loose your fans and your baby tonight. LISA For a second, my body didn’t move. The tiny pieces from the glass in my hands was still scattered around, hurting my arm. My arm was slowly bleeding. The entire hall was filled with gasps and noise. I could hear some going live.. waiting for the moment I’ll stand so my face would go viral. The lights above me blurred, splitting into fractured halos. The music had stopped completely now. There was tension everywhere. My world was shaking and crumbling slowly. “Lisa!!!!!!” Brian’s voice cut through loudly. I bet he barely knew when he screamed my real name. Before I could even lift my head, his body was there. He stepped between me and the crowd without hesitation, blocking the cameras, blocking the stares.“Are you okay?” he asked urgently, crouching in front of me. His hands hov

  • All I want for Christmas is my ex husband’s twin brother    55| My mask!!

    LISA Instead of coming straight for us, she veered toward the stairs that led to the stage, holding two glasses of wine while walking gently. Brian’s hand tightened around mine again.“She’s doing something… she doesn’t just do random things for no reason,” he said under his breath.“I see it.”Around us, people were already noticing. Heads turned and whispers increased. Monica reached the stage and ordered a waiter to come to the stage. He arrived in a few seconds and stood with the empty tray on his hand. Monica left the two glasses on the tray as she took the microphone from the host with a bright laugh, touching his arm briefly which made him give her room to use it. Just then, A spotlight found Her and she started speaking. “Merry Christmas friends,” she said in a warm and rather calm tune. “Tonight has been… extraordinary.”Applause rippled through the room.I stayed still but every muscle in my body was tight.Monica continued, pacing slowly across the stage.“Most of us

  • All I want for Christmas is my ex husband’s twin brother    54| The gala

    LISAThe moment the car door opened, the sound coming from the hall rushed in. I was damn tired already but Brian wouldn’t be so happy if I’d told him I won’t be able to be his date to the gala… so I had to buckle up. Cameras were already clicking.Voices calling.Lights flashing very bright that it almost felt like daylight.Brian stepped out first, then turned and offered me his hand.I placed my gloved fingers in his.The second our hands connected, the noise doubled.“THE SILVER VEIL!”“LOOK AT THEM!”“WHO IS SHE REALLY?”I lifted my chin as I stood. Brian leaned closer, his lips barely brushing my ear.“Ready to make them lose their minds?”I laughed softly. “They already have.”We stepped onto the red carpet together.People stopped walking. Conversations died mid-sentence. Even seasoned designers stared openly. Phones were raised. Reporters pushed forward.I really felt like a princess or something. “She’s stunning.”“That aura…”“She looks so like heartbreak bruh.. I just

  • All I want for Christmas is my ex husband’s twin brother    53| The big moment

    LISA“Gosh Brian didn’t lock the door behind him.” I muttered biting my lower lips. “ Ohh… here I was worried with the way you dragged my best friend out… only to come see you guys having some fun here.” Raya said looking at Brian while raising her brows in a teasing way.”“ You should be gentle you know..”“ How long have you been there.” I cut her off, cheeks still red from embarrassment. “ Not king though… I was actually enjoying the kid…”“RAYA!!.” I and Brian chorused, looking as each other immediately as Raya laughed. “They are about calling results anyway… let’s go see your big moment Liz.” Raya said and turned her heels to walk out of the room. “ When did you start… Liz..” I scoffed. Brian helped me adjust my hair and I walked to our dress up room to amend my make up just before we walked to the hall. The hall was buzzing even before the ement.People whispered my name… The silver veil while some crazy fans screamed loudly. I could hear other fashion homes too but I can
