Elsa’s POV

“You slept with my brother?”

The word rang loudly in my ear, I could hear the vulnerability behind the word, I looked up to see Jarvis’s gaze, but the expression he wore scared me.

I shouldn’t be like this! I haven’t done anything wrong! Why am I cowering?

“I did not sleep with Jethro!” I said with a shaky voice, I tried to keep my confidence in place, but I couldn’t. Everyone in the room had their eyes on me, I felt like an offender.

My only offense was my muteness, my quietness at the wrong done to me. I shouldn’t be afraid to stand up for my truth, but something got in my way,

Jethro’s diluted version of the truth!

“Of course, you are very good at pretending , aren't you?” Jethro threw it at me.

A clearing of the throat beside me made me feel worse, Doctor Harris had been watching our charade all along with rapt attention. He rocked back on his chair and gave Jethro a stern look. I had noticed earlier that he is the only one capable of challenging Jethro, I don’t know

  • Stuck Between Identical Twin Billionaires    Chapter 93: Drink To The Death

    Patrick’s POVIt is all so glaring now that my speculation was right, Jake Davidson had truly been remorseful. My daughter had been beaming with smiles all day, her diamond glittering ring had been the topic in the house.My companion Leila, her garrulous friend hadn’t spared me out of her impending wedding party plans. She had even described the imaginative wedding scene she envisioned, with her being the bridesmaid and me walking Elsa down the aisle to the altar, in truth, It sounds so amazing!I had watched my daughter’s reactions to it all, just as Jake Davidson had said, the last time we met, drawing up a contract that favors us was definitely going to put my mind at ease especially now that we were leaving Los Angeles.Crownstar Group, my daughter’s workplace and Glassdoor Empire had concluded their collaboration and the project turned out successful, so now it was time to return home,Strangely, it feels like home here too.I had lived a greater part of my life in this very to

  • Stuck Between Identical Twin Billionaires    Chapter 92: A Good Day To Say I Do

    Jarvis’s POV It was the day finally!I stood there in the midst of the rest of the staff at Glassdoor Empire as the sendforth party for Elsa’s team went on. I was torn between immeasurable joy and a sense of loss. She was leaving, walking out of my space again. I tried to make sense of my feelings but I guess I have gotten too attached to seeing her stunning face everyday, that was why I couldn’t bear the thought of her impending absence.“I am specially grateful to the CEO of Crownstar Group for the wonderful team he set up, the collaboration was a great success to both of our companies.”I could feel the insincerity behind my father’s words, it was true the collaboration was a success and the CEO of Crownstar empire had put up a great team, but my father definitely wasn’t grateful to him.My father had spent the better hours of his morning speaking ill of the CEO, since his team arrived at Glassdoor Empire, he had made no attempt to have a direct conversation with my father, appare

  • Stuck Between Identical Twin Billionaires    Chapter 91: What I Meant Wrong

    Jarvis’s POV I kept smiling like a total idiot as I drove on, I turned to my side and noticed my father looking at me. He had insisted I drove him to the apartment complex where I live as he has something to discuss with Mr Patrick Williams.He could have taken his own car. Why must I be his driver?“It seems you have been totally hyponized.” Father said nonchalantly as he focused on his phone. I didn’t mind his words. I was just that enthusiastic practically because my friend Caleb told me he was finally engaged, they got a matching ring and partly because I finally got my relationship with Elsa acknowledged by my father.I pulled up to a stop in front of the apartment building but father kept his gaze on me so I reluctantly drove into the car garage. I had the intention of going out soon again but I have to live by my father's rule. After all, it was his house.When the car came to an abrupt stop, my father got out of it with unease on his face.“This car is starting to feel all c

  • Stuck Between Identical Twin Billionaires    Chapter 90: Who Made The Rule?

    Jethro’s POV Was father out of his mind?I sat there listening attentively to the trash he kept sprouting out of his mind wondering what the hell had happened to my ferocious sane minded father? Jarvis on the other hand was beaming with excitement, thanking father for his support.“What the heck! Gbamm!”I banged the table suddenly, and both of them turned to face me. The effect of my actions was evident on their pale faces, they hadn’t expected it probably because I barely disagree with father.“Dad, why are you consenting to his relationship with that lowlife girl all of a sudden?”“How dare you Jethro!”“Banging the table in front of dad is bad, brother.”I could feel father trying hard to hide his anger, after all I took after him a lot. I knew something must definitely be wrong, was my father suffering from a terminal disease?I stood up abruptly not caring about what was going to happen. I had always calmed my nerves whenever I remember that my credit card was at stake but righ

  • Stuck Between Identical Twin Billionaires    Chapter 89: How To Impress Mr Williams

    Jarvis’s POV If I hadn’t known Elsa to be truthful, I wouldn’t have believed what she just told me. She was beaming with excitement that I could tell everything was true, father had acknowledged us.A cab came to an abrupt stop in front of the apartment complex and Elsa rushed over to it. I looked up at Mr Williams and shame filled me up. I had been anxious since Elsa told me about his surprise visit, and more surprisingly my father’s interest in him.After he was laid off back then, I had caught father on the phone once trying to locate him, but I couldn’t be sure of whatever was going on between them. I hid my shaking hand behind me and forced my body to move towards their direction.He had alighted and the cab driver had switched on the ignition of the car to leave as I made my way to them.“Mr Williams, it is a pleasure to have you here.” I said pleasantly.“Mr Davidson, the pleasure is mine.”I didn’t know what else to say, it was all so awkward. When I was younger, Mr Williams

    Mr Patrick’s POVI rubbed my eyes for the upmteenth time as Elsa walked towards me, seeing her gave me enthusiasm, but that didn’t make me surprised as I had reached out to her first about half an hour ago to inform her about my surprise visit, what actually left me agape was the man that came along with her.My former boss Mr Jake Davidson!He alighted from the car right after Elsa did, and my heart thumped loudly in my chest. I held tighter my luggage as the memory of the last moment we parted surfaced in my mind, I had to hold in the anger brewing in me,Not because he deserves my honor, but because I didn’t sense any hostility between him and Elsa, the opposite of what I had earlier predicted. They walked up to me where I was seated, my knees weren't what they used to be, so I couldn’t stand longer like the youngsters around me, so I had to take a seat.As they approached, I shifted in my seat in a bid to stand up, despite the harsh flashback in my mind, my body had long been cond
