“The veil covered half my face. My hand shook as I reached for the pen.

I hadn’t seen his face yet. No one had.

And yet… here I was, signing my name beside his on a marriage contract I didn’t choose”

__________________________________

Three Days Earlier…

I had woken up to a bad headache probably because I didn't have a proper night rest. I was up until one in the morning.

My father gave me some documents to sort out. These were documents that had been long forgotten and scrapped in one corner.

They were documents that should have been sorted out by Aria, since it was from her company.

Aria's my twin sister. We share the same face and family name, that's all. We don't even have the same skin tone or voice. Basically everything is different about us.

She is the director of one of my dad's companies, though she is bad at handling company affairs and that's the reason I'm sorting her mess.

She is the pretty one. Elegant and a true epitome of beauty. Men desire her and are willing to do anything just to spend a few minutes with her.

She is a walking mannequin and a very fine young lady. She is the darling daughter of the Richards–everyone loves her and she's also the spoilt brat–ouch.

While me, I'm nothing. I'm often described as the black sheep of the family owing to a mistake of a few years ago which I regret to this point and whenever I remember it, I don't feel myself.

The first time my father said I was worthless, I believed him.

I hold no position at all–in my father's company or at home. I only earn from working for my sister in her company because my father can't bear to have his name smudged on the internet.

I can't be seen working for someone else while my father has companies.

I wasn't the pretty one, not so smart as they often say. I don't even consider myself pretty.

Well…that's basically it about me.

I had to go down for breakfast. I can't have my parents getting angry at me and then I bear the consequences.

I quickly brushed my teeth, freshened up and went down stairs.

On my way down, I accidentally bumped into a maid.

“I'm so sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going” I quickly apologized.

“Yeah…Your eyes are damaged” the maid replied rudely and left.

Yeah–that's how it is. Even the housekeepers have more rights than I do.

I brushed it aside and kept moving.

I got down just in time when the prayer was about to be said.

I quietly took my seat, beside my mom and opposite my sister.

Aria usually sat closer to daddy, while I sat closer to mom.

After the prayer I muttered a silent greeting as I knew my parents weren't happy I was down late.

“Hmm” was the only reply they gave.

We had breakfast in peace and quiet, after which I returned to my room.

I had nothing to do for the day. I heard noises outside and looked out through the window. Aria was heading out. She had the freedom to do whatever she wanted.

She had singing lessons, dancing lessons and also horse-riding lessons.

I sighed and went back to my bed and laid down. I didn't know when I fell asleep.

__________________________________

I woke up in the evening. The sun was already setting. My headache was gone and I felt a lot better.

I was slightly hungry as I didn't come down for lunch and no one cared to call for me.

I went out of my room to look for food.

I came across my father's chamber and saw the door slightly opened.

His chamber was separate from his room. It was near the library. He stayed in his chamber whenever he wanted to work or clear his thoughts.

I simply walked by but stopped in my tracks when I heard my mother's voice.

What was going on?

My mother rarely enters father's chamber.

I took a step into the room, careful not to make a noise.

I walked closer in and stopped when I was within earshot and could see them.

They were standing behind the glass wall that demarcated father's chamber from the library.

They couldn't see me because their backs were facing me. I was taking a big risk because if they turned back and caught me...then I'm dead.

“Is it that serious?” My mother asked my father in a hushed tone but I could still hear her.

“The case right now is out of our control. I'm afraid there's nothing we can do to save the situation “ my father lamented.

“You know we can't just let Aria go, even if the problem was from her company signing a contract they couldn't comprehend” My mother chipped in.

I didn't fully comprehend what was happening but I knew Aria caused trouble and now my parents didn't want her to go in for it.

“What about Alina? They're twins you know. No one would suspect a thing” my mother continued.

“It's better if…

I heard noises from outside and I knew it was my queue to leave. I left without fully grasping what they were saying.

I went downstairs, dishes my food and took it to my room.

As I ate, I wrote my book. I was writing a book. The book was about how I wished my life would have gone–having the best parents and family, the perfect husband and job.

I dropped my plate on the side table and went to bed.

__________________________________

“You’ll marry him, Alina. That’s final.”

I stood there in silence, blinking back the shock. I wasn’t the beautiful twin. That was Aria. The smart one. The one he praised. The one who could do no wrong.

I was just… the leftover daughter. The spare.

“But this particular mistake was Aria's. Why am I the one to fix it?” I whispered, my voice trembling. He didn’t even look up from his drink.

Speaking of Aria, I hadn't seen her since this morning. I just woke up to bad news.

Aria's company signed a deal with two different companies at the same time.

A popular and well known company and another unpopular company.

They didn't bother to confirm if the unpopular company was legit before handing over all the money to them.

The unpopular company was not legit and ran away with the money invested by the popular company.

The popular company's directors are requesting compensation and my parents have given all they had but still not enough.

Billions of dollars was made away with.

The final verdict was to marry the CEO who made such a mistake to the popular company's CEO.

My parents plan on switching my sister and I since we were identical. I would get married on Aria's stead.

“Aria is not for sale.”

The words slammed into my chest like a slap. Was I? Was I that easy to hand over to a stranger?

I turned to my mother, hoping—just hoping—that she'd say something. Anything. But she didn’t meet my eyes. Her fingers twisted the edge of her scarf nervously.

That’s when I knew.

They had all decided.

This was their discussion yesterday.

The man I was being sold to was powerful, ruthless, and rich beyond imagination. A mystery to the world. No social media, no interviews, no parties. Just whispers.

They said his company could wipe out debt with the flick of a pen. They said he ruined people for fun. They said he never showed his face unless he had to.

And now, I was going to be his wife.

"Aria can’t handle a man like that,” my father added coldly.

“But you… You’re used to hardship.”

That was his twisted way of calling me strong.

Or disposable.

Later that night, Aria slipped into my room, her silk robe floating behind her like she was some sort of princess.

“I’m sorry,” she said softly.

But there was no regret in her eyes. Only relief.

I stared at her—the girl who had my face but none of my pain—and smiled bitterly.

“That wouldn't change anything, so please leave me be” I said coldly.

She was the reason I was in this mess.

PRESENT DAY…

Here I was signing my name close to my husband's whom I was yet to see or know.

I looked up to see the face of his stand in, the man who represented my husband, he took a glance at me before looking away.

There was something about him that seemed familiar, like I had know him before in the last, but I want sure

My parents have finally succeeded in pushing me into something I didn't sign up for.

  • Wrong bride to the right husband    Chapter 22(Shot)

    Darkness.That was all I saw. That was all I felt. A suffocating, endless darkness.The bag over my head made it hard to breathe. I couldn’t scream, couldn’t cry…my voice got caught in my throat, strangled by fear and confusion.Coming to Italy was the worst mistake I had ever made my whole life.How could I have been so stupid and foolish? Thinking about it now, it didn't make any sense at all.How could I rush off to another country, on another continent, just because of a phone call, which I didn't even know was a scam call? Now my life was in danger and not a single soul would know where I was or how I died…or even where my head body was.That thought alone made cold shivers run down my spine.In less than a month, I had been kidnapped twice. The last kidnap wasn't intent on hurting me, but this one, I didn't know how lenient they were or who sent them.Rough hands shoved me forward. I stumbled, nearly falling. I could hear footsteps, multiple, maybe three, four?, surrounding me,

  • Wrong bride to the right husband    Chapter 21(In danger)

    Days following Darren's departure was like hell. It seemed like the bond between us had broken and his distance didn't help matters. The house felt so lonely and boring, even though the staff tried cheering me up by entertaining me. The usual coldness of the house when I arrived for the first time, returned. Everyday, as I got down the stairs, my footsteps echoed through the house.Darren had texted me a million times. Called me an unthinkable number of times, but I didn't respond to any of them.His messages included apologies for leaving without first informing me, reasons he left, which I didn't quite understand. Bruno, who I had wanted to ask what he was doing in Italy, had already left to meet Darren in Italy. *********I woke up one night feeling distressed. The rain tapped lightly on the window. Although the window was shut tightly, I still felt cold. I swept my legs down from the bed and went to stand by the window. The rain painted the street wet. I shifted the curtain a

  • Wrong bride to the right husband    Chapter 20(He left again)

    I turned in bed and reached out to the other side of the bed where Darren laid, only to discover it was empty.I scratched the back of my head. I didn't like it in the movies whenever after a passionate night, the woman wakes up to an empty bed.I looked around to check if he was in the room, but he wasn't. I listened carefully to hear the sound of rushing water from the bathroom, but I didn't hear anything. He wasn't in the room. I was disappointed.I threw my legs down from the bed, put on my slippers and made for the bathroom. I had already placed my hand on the bathroom door knob, when I heard the door of my room click.I quickly left the bathroom door and scampered my way around and jumped back into the bed. I landed roughly on my left hand and it hurt really bad.I pretended to be asleep. I knew it was Darren coming in. He was the only one with the full authorization to enter my room without knocking. The door creaked open slowly and closed with a loud bang.I heard Darren his

  • Wrong bride to the right husband    Chapter 19 (She kissed him)

    “Please wolf, since our second meeting, it's like you became a whole different person…someone I don't know” I saw an emotion flash in his eyes when I said that. It was guilt. “Please, I don't want you getting hurt” my voice was low when I said that. He opened his mouth to say something but shut it again. I could still see the rage in his eyes and honestly, I had never seen him that way before. My hand was still on his arm. I let it fall to my side before coming closer to him and embracing him. He didn't reciprocate the hug and I totally understood it. One of my hands went around his neck while my other hand rocked the back of his head. I tapped on his head lightly in a bid to calm him. I could feel his breath on my neck. I understood why he was acting that way. He knew how bad my family had treated and all the privileges they had denied me…but I didn't want him to act rashly or get himself hurt. “If anything is to happen to you, I won't be able to forgive myself” I said while h

  • Wrong bride to the right husband    Chapter 18(His rage)

    “I advice you not to attempt what you have in mind, if you value your life” I trembled in fear as soon as I heard that. There was someone in that room with me and he had been watching me all this while. How did I get here? It suddenly kicked. The juice. I began feeling dizzy after taking the juice. The junior staff must have been used to get to me, knowing that I had a relationship with her. “Who…who are you” I managed to ask despite my fear. “We're who you think we are” another voice said. We? So, it wasn't just one person? The lights turned on immediately and I squinted my eyes due to it's brightness. It was a small empty room. There were four men in the room with me. Each putting on a black mask. Having untied my hands, I searched for my phone. Oh no! My phone was in my bag and I couldn't find my bag. “What do you want?” I asked in a commanding tone. I tried masking my fear so they won't intimidate me or use it against me. “What we always want…money” one

  • Wrong bride to the right husband    Chapter 17(Kidnapped)

    “We'll blow your secret,” Aria said with a wicked grin.I just stared at her. Her grin grew and was reaching her eyes. What secret of mine was she aware of? I didn’t even have any secrets.She was just bluffing. I looked away from her and looked at my parents.“We need a thousand dollars,” my father repeated.“You're married to a billionaire, you should have gotten some money from him” my mom chipped in.She was a hypocrite. She was neither hot nor cold. She didn't support me but also didn't stand against me. She supported me in my father's absence and supported my dad whenever he was around.What did they think of me? As someone who would go about begging her husband for money or were they expecting me to…steal from him?“What for?” I asked even though I knew I wasn't going to give them any money.“The company is going bankrupt,” my father said harshly. “Besides, all these questions doesn't matter, just send the money right away” That explains why they needed a thousand dollars.
