LOGINAndrea has always being her twin's shadow. The quiet, obedient daughter cast aside for being less than perfect Aria, the ruthless perfectionist is engaged to the dangerously powerful Mafia King, Alexander Hawthorne. But perfection shatters too. When Aria’s betrayal destroys Alexander’s only lead to his missing parents, he doesn’t want revenge, he wants ruin. He wants to do something to her that will redefine the word sadistic. Terrified of the monster she’s let loose, Aria forces Andrea into a deadly swap, using a secret from their past to blackmail her. On their wedding day Andrea is publicly humiliated when someone finds Alexander being intimate with the daughter of an ambassador. The guests mock and ridicule her for not being able to keep her man. Even though her marriage was a lie she still felt humiliated. Andrea arrives at the Hawthorne estate expecting tedious chores and slandering. Instead, she becomes a prisoner in rough sheets and locked doors. Alexander doesn’t see innocence. He sees betrayal. He plans to make her pay for every lie, every secret, including a horrific crime against his cook’s daughter. But Andrea isn’t Aria. She tries hard not to slip or act out of character. But Aria wasn't just a spoilt brat, she had gotten on nerves of many evil people and they want a pound of her flesh. As Aria's enemies close in on Andrea and the truth threatens to explode, Alexander has to protect the woman he had wanted to badly hurt. Andrea has to make a choice. Tell Alexander she's not who he thinks she is or let the secret she's kept for years get exposed and face the wrath of her parents and the law.
View MoreI slowly sank to my knees, bringing my hands down to cover my bare pussy. Alexander and his ruthless minions casually went back to the discussion they were having before I walked in, as if they didn't just grab every part of my bare skin. I battled with the cold that was ravaging every part of my exposed skin. Every minute seemed like pure torture, my teeth clattered so violently with cold, I was so certain I would be losing a tooth before the day comes to an end.After what seemed like ages, a man who looked half-dead was dragged into the room by four guards dressed in black. Alexander and his friends didn't blink. They all watched in silence as the men in black dropped the half-dead man on the floor.“Did you get any useful information from him?” Alexander asked, staring down at the man who had begun rolling agonizingly from one side of the floor to the other.“Oh my goodness!” I choked out, a gasp ripping through my throat as I saw the captive's face. He was missing an eyeball an
The cook left the room after we spent almost an hour in silence. Alone, I still didn't feel relieved. The house was filled with people who had every reason to hate the woman they all think I am.Aria had always gotten away with everything, even our parents made sure of that. She didn't face any consequences and had never regretted an action.Being her twin sister had always been torture, people who knew I was her twin back in high school often tried to hurt me to get back to her. She had never cared though, sometimes when she finds out I'm being bullied in her stead, she joins in on the fun as she calls it.But they should be places and times where even the most ruthless villains draw the line, like betraying a man like Alexander Hawkthorne.The more I thought about all I could likely face in the hands of this man, the weaker I got.It's barely forty eight hours and I was almost losing all the fight in me, was I even going to survive this?The question lingered on my mind as I drifted
The next morning, a sharp tug pried my heavy eyes open. I looked up to see two girls in servant uniforms glaring at me. The sight triggered haunted childhood memories I had tried so hard to forget. "Wake up and take a bath, Princess. You stink," one of them said, her voice like ice. "Shut up, Rose. The boss says we should attend to her needs," the other one said calmly, laying fresh clothes on the bed. "Attend to the needs of a traitor who trapped the cook's daughter in a nightmare for life?" Rose spat, her eyes full of rage. "Rachel's stuck in a psychiatric ward because of this venomous witch, Marie!" The words hit me like a physical blow. What had Aria done? I knew Marie’s calm demeanor was supposed to be a comfort, but she made me even more uneasy than the loud, angry Rose. "He said to attend to her needs," Rose stated. She climbed onto the bed and yanked the covering off my body, leaving me bare and exposed. "He didn't say we couldn't have a little fun while doing it. A
Alexander’s grip was rough as he dragged me from the hall. I tried to cover myself with the tattered remnants of my gown, but it was useless. He hauled me into the limousine, the engine roaring like a caged beast, and we sped off before I could catch my breath. By the time we arrived at the Hawthorne estate, my chest was tight. The imposing walls and turrets screamed old money and lethal power. Inside, the white walls gleamed, lined with rare antiques and portraits that seemed to stare right through me. I tried to focus on the art, my usual escape when reality became too loud. This time beauty couldn't mask the fear underneath. He threw open the door to a guest room. It was small. Sterile. Smaller than my own apartment. A pang of disappointment hit me. Even the servants in my father’s mansion had rooms larger than this. “This isn’t your father’s mansion,” he said, his voice a calm. He didn't even look at me as he read my thoughts. “You’re nothing but a slave here.” The
Chapter three I found a seat a bit far from the guests and sat down. when I saw a waitress passing with drinks I quickly motioned her over and took two glasses off her tray. I think it's better to be drunk on a day like this. I hadn't even taken a sip when I noticed most of the guests were murm
I wish I’d run and hidden in the library toilet the moment I saw our massive chauffeur approaching. If I had, I wouldn't be doomed to the fate I have to accept in a few short hours. I stood in my bathroom, staring at a box of hair dye that reeked of chemicals and ammonia. Outside the window, th
Two days ago Your sister got a bit naughty and unintentionally did something that will get us into trouble with the bratva." I bit my tongue to stop myself from saying something that'll get me into trouble with my father. This wasn't supposed to be my business, they've always kept me out of t
