THE MASK: A Twin's Disguise

LISA"Chop chop!" Suzana,the head of the house maids claps her gloved hands together. "Everything needs to be perfecto." Fresh flowers are hanging on the shelves as well as the staircases. When papa announced that my twin sister,who is two minutes older than I is to be wedded to the young twenty nine year old Lord,Lore Cavannaugh, everyone seemed to be happy. Well, everyone except me of course,"This is bad,very very bad.""Miss?" Someone addresses me and I turn to find Silas,my best friend watching me with worried eyes."Miss?" I frown. "Why are you calling me that?""You know I'm not allowed to call you by your first name,it'll be an insult to your family and house."I fold my hands over my chest and narrow my eyes."You know I don't give a crap about that,you're my best friend."A gasp sounds behind me and I know it's Suzana,I'm not even allowed to say words like crap because it's not lady like. My father happens to be a Duke,the family title comes from way back generations. Our ho

LISAA week after Mona's engagement. Everybody in the house seems to be very happy with how smoothly things are going. I keep sneaking glances at Mona,who smiles brightly enough to fool everybody but me."Stop slouching," mama whispers and I straighten. See shakes her head and continues chatting with the Countess,the Earl's wife who they invited for lunch. "So Lisa,I hope you won't get bored when your sister leaves for her own house,I understand the two of you have been inseparable since birth."The countess says politely."Of course I'll miss her," I smile at her."Well,it won't be long until you're in the same situation."I choke on my food at the words that just left her mouth."W-what?" I stutter."You'll also have a chosen suitor soon,like the Earl's son. You too seemed to get along quiet well,don't you think so,Mara?" Mama asks the countess."Uhm." She clears her throat."Is anything wrong, Mara?" Papa asks and silence falls over the table."Well you see," she dabs the corner of

LOREA wife,my Wife.Mona is the perfect woman,the perfectly created woman for me. The moment I saw her at that fundraising,the very second I laid my eyes on her,I knew she was the one. I still remember every detail perfectly like it all happened yesterday.I was talking to my friend Damien and an Asian couple who are our investors when she walked past us. My whole world stopped, I, stopped speaking,she was that perfect. She was in an emerald green dress and her blond hair was neatly tied on the top of her head,she walked to the farthest corner of the room and accepted a glass of champagne from the waiter, elegantly taking a sip. A young lady, probably her age,walked to her and started a conversation, seeming so excited to chat with her. She watched as the lady spoke with charisma,she wasn't smiling and she definitely didn't want company. There was this sadness etched on her face that drew me to her. A face like that deserved to smile,to be happy. In that moment,I wished to see what

LISAFor the past two months,my life has been completely miserable and uncomfortable. Sleeping in the same bed with a man who belongs to my sister has been difficult,a man who I don't love,a man who thinks I'm someone else. I've never entertained the idea of marriage but this definitely isn't the marriage I thought I'd find myself in.A fake one.Where I'd have to disguise myself, pretending to be my sister.My routine has continued of course, run,hide and pretend.Lore seems to have given up on getting me to push the walls down. Silas has been cold as usual,I almost died of a heartbreak when he told me whatever we had between us was over.My parents have been highlighting the name Mona and everyone envies their perfect daughter, who caught a young billionaire Lord's eye without any effort,not even the lifting of a finger.As for Mona,it's like she's now completely vanished into thin air. Her number now says, "Does not exist."Mama still cries over her precious girl, praying for her re

LISAI keep giving Silas the signal but he doesn't walk out of the room. It's not like he can't see it or doesn't understand, he's just flat out ignoring me. This is something we used to do back then,so I'm a hundred percent sure it's on purpose.When his phone rings,he excuses himself and walks out.Papa seems busy on the phone as well,when he turns away,I take that as an opportunity to follow Silas out.I see him in the hallway and follow him there,his back is to me,so he doesn't notice when I approach him. In that moment, I don't think, it's been months since I last saw him, since I touched him. I wrap my hands around his waist from behind and he startles, then abruptly turns around,making my hands drop from his body."Lisa?" He frowns then looks around behind me with worry etched on his handsome features. "What the hell do you think you're doing?""I wanted to talk to you,you wouldn't listen,so I had to follow you out here."He looks around our surroundings one more time then drag
