LOGINAlexandraI stood there for a few minutes, completely rooted to the spot, unable to move. My heart was still hammering against my ribs. Honestly, I didn't actually expect him to kiss me. I thought I was just being clever, playing a part and teasing him a little to see how he’d react.Who am I kidding? I’m the one who provoked him. I was acting like his wife, pushing his buttons, and frankly, I’m lucky he didn't take things further right then and there. But as I stood in the silence that followed, a treacherous little thought crept in: why was a part of me actually wishing he hadn't stopped? The air in the room felt thick and stiflingly hot all of a sudden.I had to pull myself together. This situation was spiraling out of control. How was I ever going to get back to my real life? How could I possibly convince him that I’m not Maya, especially when I was leaning into his kiss like my life depended on it? The frustration was starting to settle in my bones, making me feel heavy and exhau
Ethan I pull back, surprised at what Alexandra just did. Though, I don't seem to understand why I'm so tense or why I want to continue kissing her and why I want more. What's happening to me especially? I can't stop my heart from beating so fast. She stares into my eyes as if she could see through me. I pull back quickly, my breath caught in my chest. I shouldn't have kissed her. Well, I didn't want her to deny being Maya, not in front of my chauffeur. I still don't know who the spy is. And until I find out, I won't be able to trust anyone. I don't even know if I'm supposed to tell her I'm aware that she's Alexandra. While a part of me wants me to, the other part doesn't. I'm still not sure what this is. Ok, I knew Alexandra wouldn't follow me so easily. So I paid a man to remove the face mask. She's so sensitive to that and wouldn't want anyone to see her as Maya. But why did she pretend to be her in the first place? Though, I don't think she did this because of mo
Alexandra I stare wide-eyed at Ethan, my legs shaking under me. Even my hands shook slightly. I realize I'm not even wearing a face mask. But how did he get to know this place? I've always worn a face mask to the club. Or does he know the truth now? OMG! What should I do? Gosh! Am I going to get apprehended? I quickly imagine myself behind the bar, begging the police to open the door for me. Screaming and beseeching them to let me out. “Hey!” Ethan snaps at me. I look at him, confused and speechless. “Ethan, I—,” I started, but he cut me off. “You don't have to say a word." He takes a step closer, and my heartbeat skyrockets. "Are you alright?" He touches my forehead slightly, and I jerk back. “ What are you doing?" I yell at him. He glanced back before looking back at me. “I'm your husband, remember?” Seriously? So, he is not aware of the fact that I'm not his beautiful wife. I'm Alexandra! Gosh, I don't believe he's here to take me back. “Hey, see! I'm not Maya!
EthanWait! This is very confusing. I don't even understand what it's all about.I mean, why will Alexandra be the one at the wedding party and not Maya. And where the fuck is Maya?And why is Alexandra suddenly gone?I look at the picture of Alexandra again and quickly make a mental comparison. These two look too much the same. There's nowhere I would have detected a difference.Wait for a second, was it Alexandra all along?I remember when I saw her in the garden. She acted weird and different and that was the first time I noticed the change.And then she kept talking about my marriage and I thought she was referring to us until I met her in the boutique. She looked surprised seeing me wearing a tuxedo as if she didn't know who I was.I've been out of the country for a while and didn't go to clubs like how my friends do. So, she might not have recognized me.Yes, I just remember another thing. The pieces are just coming together and finding their perfect position. That day, the seco
RyderIt's been six days since we've been looking for Maya St. Clair. I can't say what had happened, but something is wrong somewhere.I don't understand why I keep having this feeling that Maya left herself. Like she's somewhere listening to the news but doesn't want to come out.Well, Maya can be like that. I heard the news that she once stopped going to school for two weeks, and no one knew where she went.Later on, her parents found her in a hotel suite. She has this way of doing things. Though, I don't know if it makes any sense to her.On a second note, could she be in danger?Gosh! I don't even know what to think again. My mom isn't even picking up my calls. I wonder what Dad told her.And I can't even go to work. Dad said I must never step foot inside his company if I can't find Maya.I've decided to start my company, but then I had to stop. What will people say about me? Won't they think I am heartless? Starting a business while my wife is nowhere to be found.I'm in a dilemm
AlexandraMy hands shake under his. Despite this, I can also feel heat arise from the part he held. It runs through my body and causes a shudder.He let go of my hand quickly, his eyes watching me. "Are you alright?”I blink once, then twice. What does he mean by that? I thought he recognized me as Maya.“I wanted to tell you my orders, but you've been walking past me,” he says, giving me a confused look.I take a deep breath and remember I'm putting on my face mask. He would never know it's me. Aside from that, there's no way Maya will be working in a bar. Or is there?“Oh, alright. Tell me then.”“For now, I will like a bottle of champagne and barbecue.”“I will be back,” I whisper and ease myself back to Alexandran, “ A bottle of champagne and barbecue for Ethan."He drops the bucket of ice and puts in the bottle of champagne. “I'm furious,” he says and walks to get the barbecue.I hurried to give him the champagne with a glass of wine. I can feel Ethan's gaze on me as I make my wa
I looked at her for a long moment, having to actively fight the urge to burst out laughing. She looked incredibly cute standing there all flustered, but I wasn't about to let that soften my resolve. I have secrets to keep, and a soft spot for her face isn't going to make me spill them.The truth is
"Caleb's words are firm and final, 'That's how Maya likes it, and it's not up for debate.' He turns to leave, his hand releasing mine as he reaches for the door handle. 'I'll take my leave now,' he says curtly, his tone implying that the conversation is closed. His abrupt departure leaves me feelin
Do you prefer "Wine or Red?" Linda asks"'Wine', I answer, eliciting a smile from her. I've been immersing myself in Maya's interests for the past 48 hours, trying to win her over.""I'm thrilled to be doing this! I've been living the good life for the past two days, enjoying delicious food and tak
Tears stream down my face once more, as I'm overwhelmed by the enormity of it all. I'm still in disbelief, wondering how my life has taken such a dramatic turn. I'm trapped, with no escape clause. Even if I could somehow come to terms with the bizarre terms of the contract, there's no way I could e
