INICIAR SESIÓNA week before the college entrance exam, my twin brother, Tristan Doyle, runs away with a delinquent. Our parents abandon their massive corporate empire and set out to search for him. I intend to join the search, but a comment abruptly flashes across my vision. "Don't go, Ryan! If you skip the exam too, your family is doomed!" With no other choice, I shoulder the pressure and walk into the exam hall alone. Yet the moment the exams end, my parents return and lock me in the basement. Ten years later, I finally escape, only to discover that Tristan has stolen my identity. He's celebrated as that year's top scorer, gets a degree from a prestigious university, and is even married to my former high-achieving girlfriend, Alisha Hudson. They share a perfect life with two children. Furious, I attempt to confront them, but they bind me and throw me back into the basement. As I howl in rage, my parents reprimand me, "Tristan was never as smart as you, and that delinquent tricked him into running away. There was no way he could've gotten into college on his own." "You're his older brother. What's wrong with letting him have one thing? Stop being so selfish." I break down completely and die in despair. Only after my death do I learn that Tristan was the one who sent that comment. When I open my eyes again, I'm back on the day Tristan elopes with the delinquent. The comment appears once more. As I stand there frozen, Alisha gently nudges me with a smile. "Go study! Your whole family's counting on you."
Ver másTristan yelled, "You won again! Ryan, why do you always get to win? It's not fair! You were only born ten minutes before me, so why do you get all the perks?"As twins, we were once the closest brothers in the world.But today was the first time I actually looked into his eyes. As it turned out, our blood feud had begun the very second we were born.He squeezed my throat until I could barely breathe. His handcuffs dragged against my neck, the ice-cold steel sending a violent shiver through my body.The officers quickly wrestled him off me.Gasping for air, I looked around and realized I was standing entirely on my own.My parents, my brother, and my girlfriend were all standing on the opposite side of the room.Maybe this was always meant to be my ending—completely alone. But ultimately, this was the best possible outcome.Once my breathing steadied, I took the officer's number, cast one final look at the people across from me, and walked out.A few days later, after the polic
"The expedited results are back as well. Even though you're identical twins, your fingerprints aren't 100% identical," the officer stated firmly."Tristan Doyle, you're under arrest for identity theft and exam fraud."Tristan stumbled backward in a panic, screaming frantically, "Mom! Dad! Help me!"The moment the silver handcuffs flashed in the light, my parents lunged forward and shielded him behind their backs.Mom tried to make one last desperate stand, but staring down the barrel of undeniable evidence, she could only bite her lip and say, "This has nothing to do with him. We forced him into this. We just wanted him to go to a good university.""And what about your older son? You just don't care about him?"Dad pointed a trembling finger at me. "Tristan missed his exam because of him in the first place! He owes this to Tristan!"Watching my biological parents glare at me like I was their worst enemy, I felt a deep emptiness inside.Even now, they refused to wake up.We wer
I looked down at the university logo I had once dreamed of and couldn't help but bite my lip.Why? Why couldn't I change the outcome?I had told everyone about my birthmark on the morning of the college entrance exam.I had scheduled an anonymous tip about the illegal firearms in the basement, giving me a chance to escape while my parents were busy with Tristan's orientation.I had borrowed a phone to call Rebekah to buy me time, and I had even called the cops myself.Yet, it was all playing out the exact same way.Heavy footsteps echoed from the doorway as Dad suddenly marched back into the room."Tristan! What are you still standing there for? Come home with me. You're retaking the exam next year!"The crowd of students, satisfied with the drama, began to disperse.The admissions professor gave my shoulder a sympathetic pat. "Go home with your father. Parents only want what's best for you."Clenching my fists, I took a slow step back and shook my head. "Professor, please. I
Tristan continued sobbing. "If you want Alisha, I promise I'll never see her again! But I just want to go to university. Please, just let me go!"He rambled on and on without giving me a single second to chime in.By the time he finished, his eyes rolled back, his body convulsed twice, and he collapsed to the floor.The crowd went into a total panic. Mom desperately scooped him into her arms, while Dad began dragging me away by force."You're literally driving your brother to his death, and you're still pulling this pathetic stunt!"I was dragged violently toward the exit, but I managed to grip the doorframe with everything I had."Call the police! Someone call the cops and let them sort this out!"Dad began prying my fingers back while yelling to the crowd, "This is a private family matter, so we won't trouble you all! I'm taking my boys home right now to handle this properly!"I panicked. "It's okay if you don't believe me! Just call the cops for me!"The crowd exchanged une
