Elsa’s POV

“You are the reason for my personal struggles Elsa.”

“Thump! Thump!”

My heart started beating faster again, had I done something really wrong without knowing? I looked Mr Cooper in the eye. I couldn’t hide my bewilderment.

“What! How so?”

The words fell effortlessly from my mouth as if i had prepared it beforehand. I looked at my wristwatch, the lunch was coming to an end but, Mr Cooper’s choice of silence after throwing such a bombshell was starting to get on my nerves.

He gave a pitiful look which was one thing I don’t like at all, I hate being pitiful, but he was my boss, how was I to correct his notion that my life isn't that pitiful, because he had saved me in one of those low moments.

“Because…”

I listened patiently, he was about to talk, I have no idea of why he had been holding back, but I am glad he had finally made up his speech.

“Elsa, you are just like me.”

Wait! What is this man saying for Pete’s sake, how was I to compare myself to him, a man with a perfect s

  • Stuck Between Identical Twin Billionaires    Chapter 95: What Was Never Yours

    Jethro’s POV I slammed my hand on the table as fresh anger surged in me. All eyes turned in my direction but I didn’t care. I really wished father was here,I could have given him a huge chunk of my mind.“Never! I do not agree with everything!” I shouted at the top of my voice.Everyone else seemed affected by my action except one person , my twin brother Jarvis. He just stood there unshaken as if he wasn’t the exact villain in my life story.“Mr Jethro Davidson, please be seated, there is more to be said.”More to be said! What more could be said than the trashy bullshit I just heard a few minutes earlier. Father had given his entire company to my brother and then he compensated me with some measly amount of money and landed properties.Was he freaking joking!I had listened to him, when he insisted that I work at the company. I had enslaved myself by listening to him. I had shown up almost everyday, changed my appearance and even related with lowly people at the company.“Mr David

  • Stuck Between Identical Twin Billionaires    Chapter 94: Death Do Us Part

    Jarvis’s POV One last look at the mirror, a teardrop on my left cheek. I took another look at myself, my black suit, bow tie and unstyled hair. I didn’t know how best to console myself because I never planned to dress for this occasion too soon.Father’s demise was a total tragedy!Unfortunately I am not alone in this, the only woman I love is also mourning. I wasn’t strong enough to hold myself together, how would I console Elsa?The day had started on a happy note, the two men had made it to drink and catch up on old times, only for us to individually receive distress calls of their demise in an accident.“Jarvis, aren’t you done yet?” I heard Jethro’s voice from the doorway.“I am ready.” I said in a barely audible voice.I had soaked my bed with tears last night. Unlike Jethro, I wasn’t strong enough to hold back my emotions. To make matters worse, when Elsa and I met at the hospital, she had paled out so much within a day.My pain intensified!I dragged my foot and made for the

  • 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
