“Sorry, babe. But I want to dance with you tonight.” Denver hissed as he pulled my body closer to his. Then, he looked down at me as though he was going to kiss me. My mind was telling me to push him but I still couldn’t find the strength to do so. Moreover, I couldn't move since he was holding me so tightly. Good thing, I was able to avoid his lips. Denver smirked as he stated meaningfully, “Okay, let’s wait for a few more minutes. Let's see if you can still resist my kiss." His words only strengthened my suspicion that there was a drug in the wine I consumed earlier. I assumed he would wait a few minutes more for the drug to completely take effect in my body. So, I thought I had to get out of there immediately as I couldn't imagine when it happened. Then, an idea suddenly popped into my mind. "Denver, please. Leo must be looking for me," I begged one more time. "And why would he look for you?" He asked, raising his brow. "Because h-he's my husband," I answered with the hope
Leo didn’t respond. Instead, he turned to the bedside table and poured water into a glass. "Drink some first," He uttered while handing me the glass of water. And since my throat felt dry, I didn’t hesitate to accept it and drank half of it. Putting down the glass, I turned to him and queried, “What happened last night? Why can’t I remember?” I suddenly felt a lump in my throat while tears stung my eyes as I got anxious about why I couldn’t seem to remember what occurred. And why did he seem so concerned? Nevertheless, I still tried to recall what exactly transpired last night while waiting for his reply. “Calm down, Angela. Don’t worry, nothing bad happened.” He declared solemnly as he stared straight into my eyes. I didn’t know but I was not convinced by his statement. However, I really struggled to recall what occurred. No matter how I tried, I couldn’t remember. I suddenly held my head as it hurt the more I forced myself to recall what happened. “Are you okay?” He asked wo
As I went out of the room, I tried to call Leo to ask him where he was. However, he was not answering my call. So, I proceeded to the lobby. Then, I asked the lobby attendants if they happened to be familiar with Leo. Good thing, they knew him so well as it transpired that he was a stockholder of this private beach resort. So, they told me that they saw him going in the direction of the party hall. I did not waste any second, I impatiently marched to the party hall, disregarding the discomfort I was feeling. I wanted to go there as soon as possible as I wanted to see if my suspicion was correct. However, I could not make my step any bigger. Nevertheless, I did not force myself as I knew that I would get there in a few minutes since it was not too far from the lobby. And so, I crossed the hallway heading to the party hall. However, the corner of my eye caught a lady wearing a white dress from afar. She was standing near the shore while her dress was gently dancing in the wind. I g
"See, you don't believe me!" I muttered with a grimace. Then, I pursed my lips as I attempted to stand up, but Leo swiftly tightened his embrace around my waist. Subsequently, he delicately lifted my chin, redirecting my gaze towards him. "It’s not that I don’t believe you, Angela. I just want to know every angle of the story. And to be honest, the evidence pointing to Denver as the culprit isn’t quite convincing. There were loopholes,” he said, his voice laced with a sigh. After a brief pause, he added, “Anyway, I know you’re already starving. Let’s have dinner first.” With those words, he helped me to my feet. Well, he was right. I was already starving since I hadn’t eaten anything yet due to sleeping all day. Yet, I couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment. It seemed he deliberately avoided discussing the possibility of Stella's involvement, abruptly ending our conversation on the matter. I wondered if it was due to the fact that Stella was his best friend’s sister and
The next morning, I was startled to wake up and discover Leo and myself entwined in an intimate embrace while my head nestled comfortably on his other arm. He was still in a deep sleep. So, I tried to remove his arms from my body. However, having his arms wrapped around me, made my attempt to release myself a hopeless effort. Clenching my lower lip, I mustered one final effort to free myself from his grasp, but my strength fell short of the task. I let out a deep sigh as I gave up and decided to wait for him to wake up. As my thoughts wandered, I couldn't help but replay the events of the previous night in my mind. I wondered about the conversation between Leo and Stella after I had left, and what time they separated as I realized that I hadn't noticed him entering the room last night. Perhaps, I fell asleep already since I was still feeling exhausted and tired. But the idea that they might have spent a significant amount of time together stirred an unwelcome pang in my heart. ‘
I stood by the door, my gaze fixed on the now-empty room, unable to fathom how all my belongings had vanished. 'What's happening?' I whispered to myself, my confusion growing. Stepping back, I intended to approach Leo and question him about the sudden disappearance of all my things. However, I was caught off guard when I bumped into something solid. Turning around, I found Leo behind me. "Leo, what happened to my things?" I asked, my voice tinged with worry. His gaze briefly swept over my room before returning to me. "This room is scheduled for renovation, which is why all your belongings were transferred to my room," he explained with a serious tone. "To your room?" I questioned, my eyes broadening in surprise. “Yes, starting tonight, we will sleep together in my room,” he declared earnestly, his eyes locking onto mine as he playfully winked. My heartbeat sped up at the idea of sharing a bed with him every night. Although I couldn't deny that I was already getting used to it
My forehead furrowed instinctively after I unlocked the wooden lockbox, only to find nothing inside but a folded piece of paper. With cautious curiosity, I retrieved the paper and turned it over, revealing my real name written on it, ‘Ashley’. I held my breath while my hands slightly trembled as I began to unfold the paper. I couldn’t explain it, but I felt anxious about the content of the letter. Then, my eyes noticed the date inscribed at the top. It indicated that Angela had written it the night before her flight for her upcoming surgery. My heart hammered in my chest as I began to read the letter. ‘My Beloved Ashley, As I put these words on paper, my heart aches with emotions that are beyond the reach of mere letters. It is with a heavy heart that I write to you today and the words I write may be the last you hear from me. First, I want to sincerely apologize for putting you in a challenging and complex situation. As your twin sister, it pains me to contemplate leaving you
Unfortunately, a taxi cruised past me without stopping, as it was already occupied. Dispirited, I began to walk away from the villa, making sure I was out of sight in case Nora arrived. However, after half an hour had passed, there were still no more taxis in sight. Nevertheless, I didn't lose hope. I decided to wait for another ten minutes. Then, a sleek black sports car pulled up right in front of me. My heart skipped a beat as I anxiously wondered the identity of the driver. Shortly after, the car window slowly rolled down. I silently hoped I didn't know the person behind the wheel. Yet, as soon as I caught sight of his face, I couldn't help but bite my lower lip. It was Jake! "Hi, Angela," he greeted me with a warm smile before inquiring, "What are you doing here?" What could I possibly tell him? I felt completely lost and unsure of what to say. Of course, I couldn’t tell him that I was running away. Sighing, I struggled to gather my thoughts. It felt like my mind was no
