Edrick’s POV

Adrian would not shut up.

We were walking toward the office building, early morning traffic humming around us, but all I could hear was him.

“This is a disaster waiting to explode,” he said for what felt like the hundredth time. “You’re not some college kid sneaking around, Edrick. You’re married. You have a public image. A company. Investors.”

I kept walking, jaw tight, adjusting my cufflinks like that required my full concentration.

“And she’s your wife’s twin,” he added, incredu

  • Forced to Marry my Sister’s Fiancée    What on earth

    ALINA'S POV.“And I tell you uncle, it's a great path…” Hannah kept blabbering to her uncle about some investment deals.I kept zoning out. I know designs l. That's all. I find all these money business talks quite boring and complicated. My eyes searched the space subconsciously. Subconsciously for someone I shouldn’t be looking for. Edrick.He still wasn't back from whatever errand it is that Aria sent him on. Speaking of Aria, I wonder where she went. She left with Anna. Even though I hate her presence, hearing her beg to be part of my business was quite fulfilling. “I need to use the restroom.” I lied, standing up. I was sick of the business talks. And I didn't want them to notice I wasn't making any contributions..I stood up and walked around the tables. People were seated, eating, drinking, conversing. It was lively. But not the lousy type of lively. It was the rich, sophisticated type of lively. I walked to the punch table and grabbed a glass.“Careful, we don't wa

  • Forced to Marry my Sister’s Fiancée    SECRETS

    ARIA’S POV“It’s alright. I forgive your ignorance.” Liana Bennet said.Ignorance? Did she just call me ignorant just because I said she worked under Edrick? Isn’t that true?It is. My husband’s company funded that large fashion house they are using. She should be grateful I was offering to work for them. My name will take her company from zero to ten! She should be begging me to work with her. But this woman was not just talented. She had pure burning ego. And that alone made her qualified to associate with me.“Thank you, Liana.” I forced a smile. She’s lucky she is an icon and I desperately want to be part of her fashion empire. Bitch.“So you are going to take auditions? You?” Anna scoffed from her side of the table. I felt like reaching out and smacking her across the face.“You should stick to staying at home. You know, doing that stuff you did uhm, was it six? No, seven years ago?” She said so casually.My stomach dropped. Sweat beads formed on my forehead.She knows. Sh

  • Forced to Marry my Sister’s Fiancée    Foolery

    ALINA”S POVA lousy big mouthed fool is what I am!Why did I mention Grandma? Why oh, why?I had totally forgotten the main reason I know her is because we met at the island.Alina knows her. Not Liana.I picked up my drink, hoping the topic would change.It is sad that the old lady was0 sick though. she was such a vibe. Gave me my first royal spa experience.“Edrick come on, Just do it,” I raised my head at the sound of Aria’s voice.What was she on about? She was bickering about something to Edrick. Though, her voice was a low whisper, I could hear her clearly.“NO.” Edrick said flatly. Hannah, and Mr. Vale where having a personal discussion, Anna was on her phone. I was the only one watching them argue about what only God knew. I should look away. Be on my phone or something. But Dang, I was too nosey.“Why don’t you act like a reasonable human.” Aria groaned.“Stop.” Edrick said.“If you do this, no more fighting in front of Jaime.” Aria said.And he tensed immediately.Jaime? Is

    Edrick’s POV.“I swear, Father. I did not mean to miss it. The meeting was just so hectic!”Dad just stared at me like I was just making excuses. But honestly, I tried. Things would not have been this hectic if he still came to the office to help around.“You should have made time. You know this is Hannah’s first business. it meant a lot to her.” He scolded.“I did try. I tried. But if I had left the office, we might have lost that deal. And honestly, I thought I would make it, but the meeting took longer.” Dad just rolled his eyes as if I was saying bullshit.“Where is Hannah?” I looked around and she was making her way to the table.“You know I would not miss your launch without a reason.”But Hannah’s attention was not on that. She had better things to say.“GUYS, meet the famous Liana Bennet of clover designs.

    ALINA’S POVI got home and threw myself on the bed.That’s it. I can just switch my phone off, take a hot shower and go to sleep. They would look for Liana Bennet and not find her.But that was not who I was am.I gave Hannah my word. By the way, I did sign a contrac5t partnering with the vales a week ago. so that means I get an invite to all their events.So, cocktail party, here I come.John came and drove me to the venue. It was one of the Vales pent houses. One I have never been to.When I stepped out of the elevator, one of the men there led me up a series of stairs. I stopped in place the moment I reached the top. It was an entrance to a rooftop.I just stood there, staring, looking around. The place was beautiful. Not loud or flashy. Just, soft, quiet and expensive.The typical Vale event.With low music, people walking around like they belonged.Waiters passed by with drink

    ALINA’S POVMy plan was simple; lay low, achieve my goals and get out of this city before anyone from my past sees Clover and start doing the math.I can handle the company from a far, visit when needed. Anything to keep my baby safe.The past five days have been hectic and smooth.We have been working our asses off to bring CloverXH’s Designs to life.And we were actually making progress.Today, some already made dresses were sent in from Tarry town.They were what we will showcase for the launching.“Liana, do you think I should add this upstairs with the exclusives? It does look like it’ll fit right in,” Hannah walked up to me, hair tied in a messy bun, wearing a giant t shirt, sweat pants and flip flops. She looked like a walking zombie. A pretty one of course. Damn she hasn’t been resting this past week.“Uhm? What do you think?” she shook the dress in her hand. It was

    Alina's POV.The night kept moving.Slowly. Uncomfortably. Like walking on thin ice.I didn’t say anything to anyone, not to Edrick, not to Anna, not to Hannah who waved at me from across the room. My smile stayed glued on, fake and stiff. But my eyes… They kept drifting.Again and again.To the ta

    Alina’s POV, My vision blurred.Tears gathered so fast my eyes stung. My throat tightened until I could barely swallow. What was happening? What was she doing up there?“A–Aria?” Edrick’s voice came from beside me, low, confused, concerned. “What is your sister doing?”“I… I don’t know.” My voice
