last update Last Updated: 2025-04-05 22:55:39

Jenna sat thoughtfully in her room, all the words Lily had told her ringing in her ears. Stories about the beautiful and perfect Alexa and how much Sean had loved her in the past.

In fact, Lily had never seen what Alexa looked like, but she only knew that when Sean returned to New York, he built a room that held so many memories of Alexa. He made the room look like it would be used by his ex-girlfriend.

"So all this time I was just a replacement for Alexa?" Jenna muttered sadly. "I even gave birth to his child. He even wanted to marry me. That must have been because he wanted to keep the memory of Alexa alive, right? So he thinks of Alexa every time he fucks me?"

A pang of sadness rose in Jenna's chest. Sean held her close because her face was similar to Alexa's.

It turned out that even Sean's overwhelming desire was not directed at her. She was just a substitute for the woman Sean really wanted.

"Honey, where are the kids?" Sean asked.

Preoccupied with her thoughts, Jenna didn't not

    The conversation with Jenna that night did not go so well. Jenna refused to believe that Sean would really let Alexa go because he loved Jenna. She thought that even if Sean did, it would be out of a sense of responsibility since they had two children.Jenna even contacted the wedding planner and said that their wedding had been postponed indefinitely."Sean, have you had lunch?" Alexa asked. She came to Sean's office again today, and Sean himself didn't know how to act."I'm going home for lunch with Jenna," Sean said, and he was lying, because earlier he had texted Jenna and said that he was going home for lunch, but Jenna had said that she wasn't cooking. But if Sean still wanted to go home, she would ask the maid to make him something to eat.No, what Sean wanted was not food from the maid, but he wanted the attention he was missing from Jenna."Sean, I'm back. You don't need her anymore," Alexa said, looking disappointed."Alexa, things are different now," Sean said. "I love Jenn

    "Jenna, can I take the kids to my house? They want to go with me," Esther said as Jenna walked out of Sean's office. Jenna stopped in front of her car. "Okay, call me if you can't handle them." Esther laughed. "They're so nice and obedient. There's no way I can't handle them." Jenna laughed softly. "Okay then." She hung up and told her driver. "You go home. I want to go somewhere." "But ma'am, why don't I drive you?" the driver said, sounding worried that Sean would be angry with him. "It's okay. I'll take responsibility if he gets mad. You just go home." Jenna insisted, and the driver didn't dare say anything else, so he got into the car and drove off. Jenna texted Sean that she had somewhere to go and insisted that he not drive her. After sending the message, she turned off her cell phone and went to the house of a friend she knew from when she worked at a restaurant. Yes, Jenna had changed jobs before becoming a kindergarten teacher and then ending up in Sean's hands. Emi

    Meanwhile. Sean had read the message Jenna had sent him about going without a driver, and the reply message he had sent Jenna hadn't been read because her cell phone was off. When he got home in the evening, it turned out that Jenna hadn't come home yet, and when he called Esther, her sister said that she was taking his kids to her house, and Jenna allowed it, but she didn't know where Jenna had gone. "Where is she?" Sean shouted and threw the phone. The phone hit the wall and broke into pieces. But he didn't care about the phone anymore. All he could think about was Jenna. Where is she? Is she safe? Has something happened to her? All these questions raged in Sean's head. A warm hand on his shoulder made him turn around. Lily's familiar warm brown eyes looked at him with concern. "Calm down, sir. Wherever she is, I know she'll be okay." She comforted Sean with her motherly voice. Sean smiled a little and nodded to ease his pain. He knew that he loved Jenna too. Jenna was like h

    Jenna groaned and rolled onto her back. Why does her head hurt like it was being hit by bricks all the time? She slowly opened her eyes, thankful that the curtains were still closed, and sat up, holding her head. "Drink this," a voice said, making Jenna scream at the top of her lungs. Lily and Jenna looked at each other wide-eyed. "You scared me," Jenna said, her breath catching in her throat. "Sorry?" Lily said, more like a request. Jenna rolled her eyes, which was a bad thing because her head was starting to hurt again. "How did I get here?" She asked, holding her head with both hands. The last thing she remembered was going to the club with Emily and her boyfriend, Jacob. "You were drunk last night, miss." Lily's stern voice rang in Jenna's ears. "How bad?" Jenna asked quietly. "If I count doing a lap dance on a chair and throwing water on Taylor and calling him the Hulk. It was pretty bad," she said in an amused tone. "Taylor?" Jenna asked. Lily nodded. Jenna g

    Jenna sighed. "Is she really my twin sister?" she asked. Jenna knew because last night, before she got really drunk, she got a message from an unknown number that turned out to be Alexa's number. And that's when Alexa explained that they were twins. She also told her how they got separated and that her parents actually knew that Alexa was Sean's ex-girlfriend who had died when her father used Jenna as collateral for his loan to Sean. Whether it was true that they were twins or not, Jenna thought she had to deal with it. So she wanted to clear the air. "You know that?" Esther asked. "Yes," Jenna replied. "Alexa called and told me everything." "She did?" Esther was wide-eyed. "Yes, and I want to talk to her." "So what do you think?" "I don't want to force Sean to stay by my side. He was Alexa's in the first place, and I'll probably give him back to her." "But why?" asked Esther frustrated. "I love him. Really, I love him, but I can't keep him in this relationship because I was

    The fresh, cool air gently caressed Jenna's face, causing her to close her eyes in bliss. The sound of the wind, the background music and the scent of the fresh air soothed her nerves. She opened her eyes and looked up at the dark and starry sky above her, the huge full moon shining down on her. It was the one thing you didn't have to do anything to fall in love with. Music can soothe some people, dancing can soothe some people, but the cozy feeling that nature can give you, nothing can. It makes you forget all your worries and makes you feel happy and safe. Just like Jenna feels right now. Just this afternoon she met Alexa in person, and it's true, they looking at each other is like looking in a mirror. They are identical twins with almost no differences except for the way they dress. This afternoon, Esther had been sarcastic, which made Alexa feel uncomfortable, and in truth, Alexa had said so many things that made Jenna feel sick, and made her feel that she was really just a sub

    "Why Do We Have To Be So Awkward?" Sean asked, their lips too close together. "Sean, I want us to keep our distance for a while. I think we've talked about this before," Jenna said hesitantly. Sean couldn't resist kissing her and Jenna let him for a few moments before he finally let her go. "Let's go get breakfast," Jenna said and quickly ran out of her room. Downstairs, Lily was busy setting the table for breakfast. The table looked beautiful for a foodie like her with bacon, pancakes, boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, sandwiches, bread, butter and toast with coffee and a bottle of juice. "Wow, it feels like I'm having a breakfast party," Jenna muttered. "Well, it's your first day at work, so I thought I'd give you a choice," Lilly shrugged. Jenna sat down in her chair, picked up some pancakes and bacon on her plate, and began to munch. "I like chocolate chip pancakes," she said as she devoured them. "Very good," Sean commented as he sat in the main chair. Sarah and Esther ar

    Jenna's fingers are sore from typing all day. Lucy, the secretary, is on vacation, leaving a lot of unfinished work. Jenna has typed and sent emails and replied to 5 invitations with excuses. She has 3 more emails to write and is very tired. Her butt was sore from sitting in that chair for the last 4 hours. She took a deep breath and started typing again, not noticing the darkness covering the sky outside. She was so engrossed in her work that she didn't even hear the sound of footsteps until the man approached her desk. The man cleared his throat and Jenna looked up, staring into his regretful blue eyes through his glasses. "It's almost six, honey. Let's go home," Sean said hoarsely. Jenna looked down at her desk and saw the emails that were still pending. She had to finish them today if she wanted her workload to decrease tomorrow. Jenna sighed again and looked at him tired and regretful. "I can't. I still have work to do. You can go. I'll be home as soon as my work is do

    “Hey!” Valeria greeted the handsome man in front of her with a friendly smile. He looked frozen. His eyes were on her, but his mind was clearly somewhere else. There was something in his gaze a mix of worry and fear that made Valeria uneasy. “What’s going on with you?” Valeria asked. “Jenna…” another man walked up and called out to her. Why does everyone keep calling me that? Valeria thought, frustrated. She let out a long sigh and rolled her eyes. “Sorry, but I’m Valeria, not Jenna,” she said sharply. “Who even is this Jenna, anyway?” Her head was starting to ache. She pressed her temples, trying to ease the throbbing pain that was starting to dig in. “Hey, it’s okay…” Ben whispered softly, his voice calm and soothing. His warm hand wrapped around her shoulder. “Take a deep breath, alright?” Valeria closed her eyes, trying to follow his instruction. She could feel the softness of the couch beneath her, the only stable thing in the middle of her emotional chaos. “Okay, sorry.

    Jenna looked so innocent and beautiful that night. Her purple dress hugged her body gracefully, making her look like a teenager who had wandered into an adult party. Sean couldn’t take his eyes off her. He stood beside his mother, who was deep in conversation with an old friend, but he wasn’t paying attention at all. His eyes were fixed solely on Jenna. His jaw clenched when he saw a man's hand around Jenna’s waist. Without realizing it, his fists balled up. The urge to walk over and yank that hand away was strong, but he held back and just took a deep breath. When the hand finally dropped away, he exhaled too. A faint smile returned to his face. “What’s wrong?” Mrs. Veronica’s voice snapped him out of it. He quickly turned to her, trying to fix his expression. “Nothing!” he said quickly, not even sure what she was asking about. Mrs. Veronica raised an eyebrow, suspicious. But before she could press him further, Sean mumbled an apology and walked off toward the minibar. Away fro

    Valeria muttered under her breath as another taxi zoomed past without even slowing down. “I seriously need to buy a car.” She’d been standing there for almost an hour, yet not a single empty cab had stopped.The cold breeze made her shiver. She hugged herself, regretting not wearing a sweater or something warmer. Her simple purple dress with black floral patterns looked cute, sure—but it was definitely not made for weather like this.“Maybe I shouldn’t have come at all,” she mumbled, staring down the empty street in frustration.She let out a long sigh. The baby shower still had to be attended, even if Ben had said she didn’t need to. Emily said the dress looked great on her, and Valeria couldn’t resist the idea of seeing that adorable little baby again.Suddenly, a car stopped right in front of her. She flinched, heart nearly leaping out of her chest.“Ben?” she gasped, placing a hand over her heart. “You almost gave me a heart attack!”Ben rolled down the window. “You need a ride, o

    “Bye, kids!” Valeria called out, waving at them as they ran toward the school gate. They paused to wave back before continuing on. Once they were safely inside, Ben started the car and they headed toward the café. “You know, you don’t have to do this every day. I can get my own car,” Valeria said, staring out the window, fully aware of Ben glancing her way as they stopped at a red light. “So I’m supposed to risk losing you again? No thanks,” Ben replied as the light turned green and they drove on. This time, Valeria turned to look at him. “Come on, Ben. That happened months ago. I’m fine now, totally capable of driving myself. You can’t babysit me forever, you know?” she added, turning her gaze back outside. “I can, and I will,” Ben said firmly. The rest of the ride was quiet. When they reached the café, Valeria got out without saying a word and headed straight inside. He didn’t seriously expect her to never drive again, right? She let out a deep sigh, dropped her bag behind t

    Ben walked up to her, smiling. She smiled back until she bumped into someone. She looked down and found the same little boy from the cafe. “Oh, it’s you!” she said, crouching. “Mom?” Oliver said with a big smile. The word made Valeria uncomfortable, and she glanced at everyone—especially Alexa. Alexa was right there, so why was the kid calling her “mom”? “Oh! You live here?” Valeria asked. The boy grinned, his missing front teeth making him look even cuter. “I went to Colorado with my dad,” he said simply. Valeria’s eyes moved to the little girl next to him. “And this?” “I’m Oliver,” the boy said with a proud smile. “And this is my sister, Olivia.” Valeria chuckled, remembering how adorable Emily and Ethan could be. “You can call me Val,” she told them. Oliver’s eyes shifted to Ben, who was standing beside her. “This is Ben,” Valeria added. Ben crouched beside her with a mock scowl. “Hey, bro,” he said, then winked at Valeria, making her heart race.

  • Captured By A Ruthless Billionaire   Chapter 114. The Woman Who Looks Like Her

    A woman walked, pulling her jacket tighter around her small frame as the cold wind hit her. The click of her boots on the floor was the only sound echoing through the space. She still couldn’t believe her eyes when she found out Jenna was alive. A year ago, she had felt so relieved, thinking she’d finally gotten rid of her. But now the girl was back— that annoying little thing who once clung to their lives like a parasite. The woman turned sharply left and stepped into a dark alley. The path was narrow barely enough for one person to walk through without brushing against the brick walls on both sides. The alley was long and pitch black, forcing her to squint and step carefully. Part of her grumbled at how she couldn’t see a thing, but another part was glad the darkness was hiding whatever creepy crawlies were on those walls. She shivered and almost screamed when something scurried across her $26,000 boots. A flickering bulb at the end of the alley gave her a target, and she ran to

    Valeria walked into her apartment, struggling to carry Emily and Ethan who were fast asleep in her arms. "Thanks so much, Mrs. Smith," she said with a grateful smile to her neighbor, a woman in her mid-fifties who lived alone. "It's no problem, dear. You look a little busy," Mrs. Smith said, nodding toward the two kids. Valeria chuckled softly and nodded. "Good night, sweetie. If you need anything, just knock. I'm only a few steps away," Mrs. Smith added with a wink before heading back to her place. That was just the kind of woman. Mrs. Smith was the type who’d open the door with a baseball bat raised high, day or night, always cautious. But deep down, she was the kindest, most caring soul. Valeria smiled, remembering the night Mrs. Smith almost whacked Ben with her bat because Valeria had been late answering the door after a shower, and forgetful Ben had left his keys. Mrs. Smith thought he was a thief. Carefully, Valeria tucked Emily and Ethan into their beds. "Good

    When she opened her eyes, she found Ben leaning against the balcony wall, arms crossed, smiling at her so softly it made her blush. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "Why are you looking at me like that?" Ben chuckled, walked over, and gently lifted her chin, kissing the tip of her nose. "Because you’re the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen... after those two little monsters," he teased just as Emily and Ethan’s voices called out his name. Ben groaned while Valeria tried not to laugh. Ever since Ben had confessed his feelings, he never missed a chance to shower Valeria with affection. They spent the morning playing, filling the apartment with laughter that felt like music to Valeria’s ears. "Alright, kids, time to brush your teeth," she said, herding them away as she carried dirty plates to the kitchen. As she started prepping food for the kids, Ben leaned casually against the counter. "Who was on the phone?" Valeria asked. "Mr. Anderson. He invited us to dinner with hi

    A man in a white Armani suit got up from behind his desk and stepped forward to shake their hands. "Welcome, Mr. Anderson and Mrs. Karen. I'm Ben McKenzie," he greeted them with a friendly smile. Sean raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised by the man's cheerfulness, but shook his hand politely anyway. He sat down in the chair across from Ben, while Karen took the seat next to him. "We should start the presentation soon," Karen said, looking at her watch. Ben smiled wider and nodded. At first, nervousness showed on his face, but as the presentation progressed, his confidence grew. Sean was quite impressed with Ben's presentation, but he didn't find much to like. In his heart, he had already decided to decline the offer. Ben was busy organizing his files when his secretary called and someone knocked on the door. Ben looked up from his work and his face instantly lit up. Sean and Karen didn't turn around, assuming it was none of their business. "Valeria, are you here?" said Ben,
