Alina’s POV

It’s been ten days since we came back.

Ten days of silence from my mother.

Ten days of pretending my sister doesn’t exist.

Ten days of pretending I’m not… the villain in someone else’s marriage.

This morning, I sat in the garden with my sketchpad propped on my knees, the sunlight warm on my skin. Edrick had already left for work, he always kisses me goodbye like he means it, like it’s the most natural thing in the world. And every time, I feel the sting of guilt right under my ribs.

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 POVClover would not shut up about the ice cream shop I promised to bring her to when we first landed the city.In All honesty, I could not even remember the name. So, it took us a lot of navigating and pissing off our uber to finally get there.I got her ice cream and ordered matcha which they surprisingly had.The playground at the back looked refreshing. And it would be good for Clover to play with kids her own age, especially since we have been trapped in the hotel for past two days.I sat by the benches and watched her play while I sipped on my matcha.Then the feeling began. The crazy deep feeling of someone’s eyes intensely drilling into me.I could tell the direction the stare was coming from. And I was hesitant to look.But I did anyway.I aimed to stylishly turn, and catch the person without looking too obvious.But the moment I saw who it was, I lost all a balance.Edrick fuck

    Edrick’s POV“What in God’s earth do you want Aria?”I was tired she has been yelling for twenty minutes straight. God knows I cannot take it much longer.“You aren’t listening to me Edrick! At all.” She fired.“You made me take that picture. I left work that afternoon and spent hours with your annoying photographers. We were featured as best couples, isn’t that the aim?” Because I was not getting what more she wanted.“Well look at the picture Edrick! You fucking don’t look like a man in love.” She was yelling and crying at the same time.“Aria I did the exact pose you and your photographer wanted.”“This is not just about poses Edrick. Look at your face, look at your eyes, you look like you were forced to be there.”I wanted to say it is because I was forced. But she was already upset. I did not want to make it worse.“Aria, I don’t know what to say to you. I don’t know what you want.”“What I want? I want you to stop embarrassing me with your lack of affection! You are the youngest

    ALINA’S POVWhy would she get everything she wants while I plan to give up such a big opportunity just to hide from her.Who is she? A monster, yes. But that doesn’t mean she gets to go free with everything.My mind trailed back to that night when the explosion occurred. It was her. I have spent years trying to say maybe I misheard, maybe I assumed. I did not want to believe my twin will kill me no matter how bad our differences. But how will I mishear a voice that sounded exactly like mine.She killed me. And now that I am back, I will not let her kill my dreams.“That’s it, we are staying!”“Staying where?” Clover, who was still coloring petals raised her head to ask.I smiled.“In this city. Don’t you like it?”“It’s pretty, Mommy.”My lips spread even wider. My biggest priority will always be keeping Clover safe.I scann

    Alina’s pov“How was your trip? Hope you are enjoying DL city.” Hannah said.I could not even answer her. I was trying to wrap my head around what was happening.I hid my trembling hands under the table, and gave her a short nod, in reply.“Are you okay? Do you need water?” she asked.Fuck I was probably turning pale from all the mind tension.Calm down Alina. She doesn’t even know who you are. She has no idea.And Hannah isn’t an enemy, she was never bad to me. But still, being around her made me nervous. Especially because I had seen Edrick too. Just 24 hours in this cursed city and I am meeting people I was determined to avoid.Who next?Aria? A shudder ran through me at the thought of her.“I am fine. Let’s get to business.” I straightened my back. I was already here. Acting weird will just be plain stupid.“Okay, that’s good.&rdquo
