Alina’s POV

By the time I got home, my body felt heavier than it had all week.

Not just from the fever.

From regret.

Lila was asleep on the couch when I stepped inside, the television playing softly in the background. She must have waited up for me and passed out. Guilt twisted in my chest. She had told me not to go. Told me to rest. If I had listened, I would not have seen him.

I would not have felt him.

I slipped quietly into the bathroom, splashed water on my face, and stared at myself in th

  • Forced to Marry my Sister’s Fiancée    No

    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

  • Forced to Marry my Sister’s Fiancée    ENTWINED

    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

  • Forced to Marry my Sister’s Fiancée    Expensive joke

    ALINA’S POVI woke up earlier than I should. Mostly because I was too excited to stay in bed, but also because I needed to get a baby sitter for Clover while I am gone.The first thing I did was pick up my phone and scroll through it like my life depended on it. I opened the most trusted baby sitter’s site in the city. Even with that, I had to read each and every review to see if I can trust that person. I cannot leave my baby with just anyone.After I was done assessing the reviews, the real challenge began. Finding someone who was not already booked.Lord, I should have booked a baby sitter last night.Finally, I managed to get one. Grace.Clover and I had a late break-fast before Grace showed up, and I started getting ready.Nothing serious, just a simple dress, light makeup and jewelry.As informed, the driver came to pick me up at exactly 11:30.The meeting is by 12, so I guess that was early enough.I kissed clover goodbye, then made my way to the car. It was the same one that p

    ALINA’S POVfool, 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 like this would definitely happen, but I did not expect it would be in my first hours in the city. And I definitely did not prepare myself on how to react if I should stumble across any of these people from my past.Calm down Alina. He did not recognize you. All he saw was blonde hair, blue eyes and woman with a completely different face structure from the Alina he knows.Alina is dead. And all Edrick saw was Laina.I stood in one spot and calmed myself down before go

    Alina’s POVThe good part about this night is that the Vale security did a great job chasing all the gossip journalists away before I stepped out. I walked out of the hall like a ghost, quiet, trembling, empty.My legs didn’t feel like mine anymore. My body felt tight, drained, as if all the bones

    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
