ALINA’S POV

fool, fool fool. What a big fool I was. I felt like the ground should just open and swallow me.

I hate this, I hate this. I hate this city. I hate this goddamned city.

My hands were still trembling, my legs felt like they could not hold me.

Fuck I hate it.

Edrick Vale.

I could have bumped into a thousand people. But Edrick? Why did it have to be him? Why did he have to be in the same hotel?

DL city is big enough. I knew things

  • Forced to Marry my Sister’s Fiancée    False

    Edrick's POVNo.I wanted to say no. That it can't be.That the woman I had been feeling bad for was the one behind the fire.It cannot be.I needed someone to hold my hands and tell me it was a big fat lie.That Aria did not attempt to kill her own twin sister.How can she be that cruel?"What are you saying, Alina?""I heard her on the phone with the abductors. She gave the orders to burn the place." Alina sighed. Again, she was more angry than sad.As for me, I was in complete shock. Why would she kill her sister? Her own sister?My mind raced back to the day I lost Alina, how Aria acted so sad. So broken, like she cared she had lost something precious. But then, I remembered how quickly she moved on. How fast she went from mourning Alina to hating the sound of her name. I did not suspect a thing.Who would suspect a sister of burning her twin to death?"You didn't mention this, Alina. She should be behind bars now, not roaming around like she owns the city."Because now, I was not

  • Forced to Marry my Sister’s Fiancée    Agony

    Edrick’s POVEven after standing under the freezing water, the anger within me continued to burn.I had already made up my mind to ditch work again. I cannot add Adrian's whining to my list of problems. I put on a pair of sweatpants and a shirt, then joined Alina at the dining table.Alina.I haven't had time to digest all the information from yesterday. It was crazy. Crazy to refer to her as Alina even in my head.We haven't talked about it properly. I don't know, it feels like a little precious bubble we don't want to pop.But we had to.“Hey.” I sat beside her. The housekeeper had prepared breakfast before we returned from the station. I was looking at freshly made pancakes with scrambled eggs. Alina was already diving into hers, so I did the same.“How? Alina?” I asked.Maybe it was the question, or it was the name that made her jerk up. This might not have been the right time, but I could not wait. Staring at the woman in front of me, with golden hair and blue eyes, with a face t

  • Forced to Marry my Sister’s Fiancée    Decline

    Aria's POVI was in bed.Rotting would be the right word.I was tired. Worse, I was frustrated.They had one job: attack her and make her regret coming close to my husband.I hissed, knowing it wasn't their fault. She was not home.Liana wasn't home. Where did she spend the night? With whom?Of course, I knew the answer. I clenched my jaw, and a painful throb started at my temples, growing stronger the longer I dwelled on it.Edrick really is repeating history. First, he was all over Alina. I got her out of the way, and for years all I wanted was for him to want me the way he wanted her. What did he decide to do with all my efforts and the patience I put into waiting for him to heal? He runs off to the new blue-eyed slut.Just when I thought I was frustrated enough, some bitch knocked on my bedroom door.My first thought was to ignore her, but the person was so persistent and would not stop knocking.I hissed, forcing myself out of bed and dragging my feet to the door.Anna."What?" I

    Alina's POVI opened my eyes, and this time around, to my pleasure, Edrick wasn't missing. He was lying beside me, with his arm wrapped around my waist, his eyes shut and his breath steady.The feeling of his skin rubbing against me made me heat up again.I fought the temptation to look under the sheets. We both had nothing on.Even though we were still together, in the same bed, I wanted to go back to last night. To him pinning me on the bed after ripping my shirt off.I wanted to feel the sweat that dripped down from his body to mine. I wanted to feel his lips. I wanted to feel every inch of him inside of me again. I wanted it all."Morning, love."I almost jumped up at the sound of his voice. The hand he had around my waist was now moving softly around my back."Morning."I faced him, and I swear his smile widened. My heart did that little flutter thing. I wanted this moment to last forever. I wanted this to be our happily ever after.Edrick leaned in to press kisses on my neck, th

    Alina's POVNAKED.I was naked. Nothing on me! How? Edrick took my clothes off? When did I even fall asleep?I tried to avoid Edrick's face, which was literally a few inches from mine. I knew the longer I stared at him, the harder I would blush.I looked around, but this bed and room were not familiar."You brought me to your room?" I blurted. At that moment, I was trying to remember what happened and how I fell asleep."It's better than barging into your room, Alina." He said my name as if he wanted confirmation, as if he was scared I would become a stranger again.I pulled the covers up all the way to my neck, then sat up.I let myself examine the room. It was the typical guy's room. Every color was in its darkest shade, and an insanely expensive art piece hung on the wall.Edrick flung one of his shirts to me. I hadn't even noticed he had left the bed and was also putting on a shirt and pair of trousers."So, now what?" I asked. I was surprised that now that I had admitted to being

  • Forced to Marry my Sister’s Fiancée    Mine

    Edrick's POVBecause as she fought, with her voice breaking, the only words that rang in my head were, "She's Alina. She's Alina. She's Alina."But I did not want to get my hopes up."Tell me the real story."I looked down, my eyes meeting hers. I was ready for the usual face change and acting like she had no idea. But with the way she was looking at me, I knew she wasn't going to do that.And even better, I knew my Alina was back.My Alina.Mine.I used the back of my hands to clean the tears staining her face and waited for the ragged breaths to become even again."I was forced," she started, and my heart almost stopped.I pushed back the golden strands covering her face. I wanted to look at her while she spoke, just to make sure it was really my Alina. That she wouldn't go back to denying she was the one.I wanted to tell her to stop the story so I could kiss her like it would make up for the time we spent apart. Like it would heal that huge crack in my heart I had been living with

  • Forced to Marry my Sister’s Fiancée    The Fragile Silence

    Alina’s POVI couldn’t look away from Edrick.He stood beside his father’s bed, shoulders stiff, jaw locked so tightly I could see the muscle ticking. He was trying to be strong. He always did, but I could feel the cracks beneath the surface. The way his fingers hovered over his father’s hand but d

    Edrick’s POVI just sat there for a moment, staring at the screen long after Adrian ended the call. My fingers were still curled around the phone, stiff, like my hand refused to move. My chest felt tight. My father. Unconscious. Everything inside me twisted with worry, fear, and anger all mixed tog
