Therapy had been the solution Willow had agreed to weigh Kevin. But now, she couldn't get him to come along. Hazel had gotten so far with her manipulation that Kevin only did what she wanted. That afternoon, Willow sat in the dimly lit office of Kevin's therapist. The doctor had prescribed his drugs but still, he wasn't getting any better. He still walked around like a zombie, not knowing exactly what was happening around him. “He couldn't make the visit?" The therapist asked as he looked down his glasses at Willow. “No, I have tried everything I could. He won't leave the house with me." Willow replied. But she knew quite well it was because of Hazel's influence. The therapist sighed heavily and nodded, “How's he doing?" “He’s been acting so… distant,” Willow began, her voice barely above a whisper. “It’s like he’s there, but he’s not really there. He barely looks at me, and when he does, it’s like he’s trying to push me away. I don’t know what to do anymore.” The therapist n
Hazel’s eyes narrowed as Willow stood defiantly.The priest looked a little confused because never in a long time had he seen any opposition against marriage in his cathedral. “What?" He asked, a little stunned. People in the crowd gasped and looked at Willow strangely, some turning to stare at Hazel with questioning eyes but she quickly composed herself, forcing a tight smile. “You have something against this union?" He asked, surprised. Willow turned around and faced the crowd with a sly smile. “I just realized something,” she said sweetly. “I almost forgot to wish you a happy birthday, Hazel.” Everyone looked surprised and then a few clapped nervously. Most were wondering if this was why she'd interrupted the marriage. “I mean, you must feel very lucky, getting married on your special day. Isn’t that something to celebrate?” The words were polite on the surface, but it was a subtle reminder that she wasn’t going anywhere without a fight. Hazel blinked, momentarily thrown
Hazel looked displeased at her efforts. “You didn't have to cook, I can make breakfast in my own home," she hissed. Willow put on an innocent face and shrugged, “I didn't mean to upset you, I was only trying to help." Hazel stared at Willow for a few seconds, just glaring at her without saying a word. She thought that Willow must really be desperate to please Kevin and herself so she can stay. “I guess you might as well be useful if you're going to stay here,” she sighed and looked at the food, as if inspecting it. Willow finally smiled and sat across from Kevin and Hazel, a slight smirk playing on her lips as she toyed with her fork. “Do you like it, Hazel?" Willow asked with a sweet smile that didn't reach her eyes. Hazel scoffed. “Do you enjoy making things uncomfortable, Willow? Or is it just second nature to you?” Willow didn’t look up. “Oh, I wouldn’t dream of making anyone uncomfortable. I’m just enjoying breakfast.” Her tone was sweet, but the sarcasm was impossible t
Kevin’s breathing was steady now, though his face was still pale as he sat in the living room, recovering from the earlier ordeal. Hazel could barely hold herself as she looked at him worriedly,His eyes, however, burned with anger as he turned to Willow, who stood near the door with her arms crossed. “Willow,” he began, his voice firm and filled with frustration, “what did you just do?!" Willow shrugged but said nothing as she folded her arms and glared at him. “What you did was reckless, dangerous, and completely unacceptable. Don’t you ever try something like that again!” Willow didn’t flinch. Instead, she met his gaze with a calm defiance, her tone cool. “You don’t get to tell me what to do, Kevin. As long as I’m in this house, I’ll do whatever I want.” Kevin’s jaw clenched. “You’re not in charge here. You could’ve killed me!” She stepped closer, her voice sharp and unwavering. “But I didn’t. I was just proving to you that you're in danger with a woman who doesn't even
The dining room was quiet as Hazel looked at Willow quizzically. “Question?" Monica asked and looked between them tensely. What was she talking about? Willow took a step forward, her eyes boring into Hazel. “I have a question for you,” she repeated. Hazel, seated at Kevin’s side, stiffened slightly but held her composure. She couldn't act shocked. And although she could hear the mischief in Willow's tone, she had to act calm. “What now, Willow?” she replied, feigning nonchalance, though her tone betrayed a trace of anxiety. Monica too was a little irritated. She'd tried to put Willow down all evening. Hoping that she'd take the hint and hide her face in shame. But now she was even calling more attention to herself. “Hazel, why don't you tell us," Willow tilted her head, her smirk widening. “What’s your middle name?” The room immediately went quiet. Hazel's eyes widened and her fingers tightened around the napkin on her lap, her lips parting slightly as though she wanted to spea
"Finally," the woman said, her voice smooth but rich with a thick British accent. “I don’t have to pretend anymore.” The words left everyone stunned. This girl wasn't Hazel. She sounded entirely different and the accent couldn't possibly belong to Hazel because Hazel wasn't British, she was born and bred in the states. “This is such a relief, I must say," the girl sighed and reached up, pulling the wig from her head. Red hair tumbled free, cascading down her shoulders. Her face was nearly identical to the real Hazel, but now, without the blonde wig and with the accent, the differences became more pronounced. Kevin stared at her. “What the hell is this?” he demanded, his voice trembling. The imposter smiled and shrugged. “Oh, Kevin, don’t look so surprised,” she said, her British getting even more obvious with each word. “I'm sure you would have eventually noticed how much I struggled to keep that fake accent.” “You…” Kevin took a step forward, his fists clenched at his sid
Willow froze. Her eyes widened and she couldn't believe what Monica had just said. “Oh, I see you didn't think of that, did you?" Monica laughed. Willow looked at the door where the fake Hazel had just walked through and then back at Monica. “What?!" She was stunned. She couldn't feel her feet. “Can't you see the resemblance? Doesn't she look like your duplicate?" Willow was shocked. The fake Hazel was her sister? How did Monica find her? “How?" Willow said breathlessly. Madame Monica’s lips curled into a smile as she stared at Willow. “You know, it’s almost poetic, isn’t it?” she said, her voice filled with mockery. “You and Hazel’s imposter are twins. Duplicates of the real Hazel. Isn’t fate just deliciously cruel?” Willow froze, her breath catching in her throat. “Twins?” she whispered, the word barely audible. “Yes, darling. You heard what I said,” she rolled her eyes. Willow was speechless, she stumbled back and clutched the edge of the table in shock. “Yes, she's yo
Willow stood frozen outside the mental health center, her hands clenched into fists as she stared at the imposing building. This wasn’t how she’d imagined things going, not for Kevin, not for her. But there was no other choice. She had to help him escape from the toxic grasp of his family, even if it meant breaking her own heart in the process. His sister was dead. A sister that she didn't even know she had and this broke her heart. Monica was powerful. She did all she could to break her and make sure Kevin was under her control. The fake Hazel had a life. She was a girl who had no doubt gone astray but she didn't deserve to die like that. Tears welled up her eyes and she wiped it furiously. “Hello, is Kevin registered here?" She asked. The nurse nodded, “Who are you?" She asked. Willow was a little lost. What was she? Was she still his wife? Was the dead Hazel his wife? It was all so complicated and she couldn't tell the nurse anything. “I'm a family member, I heard he's be
Outline 3So what is your plan now? She asked him after he had finished speaking.You are going to stay here Willow, you can't go out, you can't try to run away, neither can you act smart, No cell phone. He spoke with a stoic face. He was damn serious, he had no plans at all but he hoped time moved he would know what to do.You are joking right, what do you think this is?Some movie or what. I can't stay here Kevin, I am getting married and I need to do it fast since you destroyed the last one…..She couldn't even continue as Kevin threw something in anger. But not at her, You are not getting married Nova over my dead body. He said, I would rather burn in the pit of hell than let you get married to someone else. After saying that he made his way upstairs leaving her there. He didn't want to continue to hear whatever she was saying because it only made him look like a bad person. As he walked he thought how disastrous the feeling of letting her get married to Alex could be.It could hav

It started after we had a fight, Kev. Alex was the person here for me and we fell In love. She said to him when deep down she knew it was a lie.She blinked more than usual, like she could blink away the sting behind her eyes, and every now and then, she’d look down at her hands, fidgeting.Why lie to him, Alex interrupted behind her. Kevin was his friend, yes. But that wasn't going to stop him from getting what he wanted, what he wanted wasn't Willow,but was the benefit that came with it The merger with one of the most popular tech companies in the world as well as multiple sponsorship and partnership that would help his company seer high and help build his name around the globe.Alex was a kind of person that only cared about wealth and luxuries, women were not part. All these he could get but only on one condition. To agree to marry the daughter of the willow family. He didn't even know to whom he was getting married at first.Until he met her, and she was willing as well. And she

“Don't you know how to do your damn work. Eryx yelled over the phone. You know how much this deal means to me and don”. He said, referring to an underground boss.“I….I am so sorry sir. I am going to fix this”. A timid voice behind the phone panicked.“You fucking do that. Or else your wretched mother won't make it to another day”. He threatened without mercy nor without a flinch in his face.As soon as he finished talking, he slammed the phone to the floor. “FUCK, FUCK”. he yelled out. This wasn't the plan. Why was the business having problems in his tenure? The only thing he did was gamble a little. How did it end up affecting him? He thought In silence.But maybe he should have asked himself what he gambled or his condition of gambling. He gambled into partnership with the Mafia.He remembered vividly how it all played out. At first he was boasting about how good he was at these games and how no one could beat him. Even the don. “If I lose I will give up the Lockwood, holdings and
