LOGINAmber:One glance at Elsie's slightly disheveled hair and Alex's crooked tie and I already knew what happened. The place was filled with the tell tale signs of sex. I shot Elsie a cold hard glare and she hurriedly avoided my eyes. “What do you mean you work here now? How come I don't know about it?”I shrugged indifferently. A vein popped on his forehead, a dangerous glint in his eyes. Elsie's voice cut through the thick silence between us. “I'll let you two talk” Alex didn't stop her. His furious gaze was locked on me. She went back into the elevator.“Let's talk in my office”I rolled my eyes but followed him in. The moment I shut the door, he turned to me, eyes blazing with anger. “How did you get in? What did you do Amber?”“I have the qualifications. I got in here fair and square”I knew that wasn't true. I had gone directly to the head of HR but he was hesitant to employ me and insisted on speaking to Alex first. I knew Alex wasn't going to agree so I had no choice but to c
Alex:“What the hell, man” Cedric said the moment we heard the door of her room close. I leaned back against the couch. “What?”“I thought the girl would be dead by now. You told me yourself she tried to kill you earlier today”Thanks to my powerful genes as a hybrid, I had heightened senses and could see and hear things from a far distance. I had seen her aiming the rifle at me. I remembered the look on her face when our eyes met. But why did she stop? I had no idea. “She didn't go through with it”Cedric narrowed his eyes. Even to my own ears, It sounded like I was defending her. “What's really going on here, Alex? She lives under your fucking roof”“Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. I have a plan”“Don't give me that bullshit. Be honest with me, are you in love with her?”“No”“You call her ‘princess’ for goddess' sake. If you are falling for her, it means Antonio's plan is working and we can't let him win”“I'm not having this conversation anymore”“Alex….”“Dro
Elsie: Her eyes bore deep into mine like she was staring into my soul. ”You approached him with ill intentions" she muttered, tilting her head.”What?”“You came to him with a hidden agenda, didn't you?”I was short of words. How the hell did she know that? “Spill it. What do you want from him? His money?”So she didn't know the exact reason. I exhaled a small sigh of relief. I recoiled as she approached. "I have no idea what you're talking about"Her eyes narrowed. "Oh, I think you do. I'll find out what it is and when I do, you will regret ever getting to know me. You better watch your back" she sounded like she really was onto me. It wasn't Amber's threat that scared me but the look in her eyes. I waited till Alex had left for work before heading to Alicia's house. I had no idea Alex had a twin sister. Somehow, the file Antonio had given me which apparently contained all the information I needed about Alex omitted the part where he had a crazy twin sister.
Amber:I sat at the vanity table in my hotel room, eyeing my phone, silently hoping Cedric would call and apologize for being such an ass.However, it was just wishful thinking. No calls. No text. Nothing.I grabbed my laptop and hacked into Simpsons group's system and dug out her file. Maybe I was going a little too far but I wasn't about to give up.Her profile was perfect. She had even won the employee of the year award. I looked into her personal profile, but it was annoyingly clean. No scandal. No debt. There was nothing to use against her. I slammed the laptop shut and fell into bed. Exhaustion kicked in and I feel asleep immediately. *******The next morning, I drove into Alex place and punched in the passcode, heading straight to my room which was right next to his.He had specially given me the room after it was built. Though I rarely slept there, it was still mine. I brought out the key, unlocked the door and stepped inside. The first thing I noticed was an unfamiliar
Amber:I leaned against the metal railings in the arrivals hall, tapping my foot impatiently as I scanned the crowd pouring out. Cedric's plane landed ten minutes ago, yet he had not appeared. I wiped the sweat off my palm, a little nervous. I hadn't seen or spoken to him since he left for Mexico and tonight was supposed to be the night. The night I would confess my feelings to him. I've had a crush on him for a long time and he had been too blind to see it. I was done waiting. I was going to make him see me tonight, not as his best friend's sister.The door slid open and there he was, looking effortlessly handsome in a gray sweater and dark jeans, his sleeves rolled up to reveal his strong forearm and tattoos he had gotten in college. I waved so he would see me. But my smile froze almost immediately. He wasn't alone.He was holding a woman's hand , their fingers intertwined. Her long wavy chestnut hair bounced as she walked. He saw me among the crowd and smiled. A warm, brothe
Elsie:The next few days were a nightmare. In the whole city, I couldn't find a single house to live in. No one was willing to rent to me. They made ridiculous excuses just to send me away. I knew Alex was behind this and it made me wonder just how much power he had exactly.I was exhausted and angry and was almost out of options. I had just checked into a hotel when my phone lit up with a message from Antonio with only three words.“My office. Now”I muttered a string of curses. I could already guess what it was about. I got off the elevator into Antonio's office. He was seated on his sofa, his jaw clenched. He didn't offer me a seat this time.“You called for me” I said, grasping my hands together in front of me.“It's been three weeks. I haven't received any reports on your assignment. Tell me, how's it going?”“I'm still trying to reel him in”His eyes narrowed, unsatisfied with my answer. At that moment, I was tempted to ask why he wanted Alex dead but I shut it down immediatel
Mia: I stepped out of the shower, putting on my bathrobe. Lukas was gone. He had left before I woke up. I grabbed the blow-dryer and settled before the vanity. I looked into the mirror, realizing I wasn't alone in the room. Seated on the sofa was Mira, her legs crossed, staring at me. I jerked
Mia:I pleaded with my mother to stay a few days and begrudgingly she agreed.I had promised to return Axel to his rightful place as my father's heir and I would make good on that promise.Here I was, two guards behind me, standing before the house that served as my home for many years yet never fe
Mia: My eyes were still groggy with sleep as I felt the space beside me. It was cold and empty. Yawning, I heard faint whispers coming down the hallway. I slipped out of bed and walked towards the grand staircase. The closer I got, the clearer the voices became. “I wouldn't let you turn this
Mia: She was tall. Her long red cloak flowing behind her as she approached is, her face hidden behind a hood. She came to stand before is, the fireplace serving as the barrier. Her hands hovered above the flames and it slowly quenched. I narrowed my eyes, trying to get a good look at her face.
