Chapter 39Damian PriestPOVOn my tenth birthday my father told me, I had to make sure I acted differently from my brother in public. We needed to be distinctive. Even though we were identical twins my parents never dressed us the same. My brother was older by a couple of minutes and for that he was crowned King. Rowan grew up with a lot of responsibility whereas I was treated as secondary. Rowan shouldered everyone’s burdens whether it was because he cared or out of duty he’d always be there when you needed him.Why am I thinking about that now? While my brother was in surgery? I knew what it meant for my future… My father would have me replace my brother in meetings, travelling in front of the media.My father and mother walks in hand in hand. He looks at me. My mother runs to me. I hug her.“Any word yet?” My mother asks.I shake my head.Andre is sitting not far away. His head in his hands.“Rossi.” My father calls out to him.Andre stands up straight. His hair was a mess, blood

Chapter 41One week laterDamien PriestPOVLeaning sideways my head resting on my fists, listening to the directors report a bunch of bull. To be honest I have no idea how my big brother listens to any of this shit. It sounds like they are talking out of their asses half the time.I look at Rayna beside me. She meets my eye and nods.“Mr. Reyes what are the projected sales for the plan?” she asks.He looks startled. He looks at us wide eyed… “Mr. Priest… My team is working on…”Rayna cuts him off. “You presented us an incomplete proposal?” She asks.He stutters.I shake my head getting up. I tie the two buttons on my suit jacket. I leave the room.The only reason I haven’t said a word during the meeting is. Because my voice is deeper than Rowan’s and I haven’t gotten Rowan’s voice down perfectly yet.“That’s went well…” Rayna says.I roll my eyes. “Wanna get naked in my office?” I wink at her.She looks over at me and pulls a face. “Fuck it’s creepy fucking someone with my bosses’ fa

Chapter 43 – Hannah’s planTwo weeks laterHannah SmithPOVMy hands wrap around the steering wheel as I try to call Rowan once again, he must be with her. The bitch! She must be making Rowan ignore me. There’s no way Rowan would just throw me away for her. What happened to the video I sent her before they got married, did Rowan get it before it could get to her? He would have said something if he did. So, she just ignored it? Did she ignore it because she’s after his money? She ignores his cheating for his money.My blood boils. My entire body trembles with anger. Why would he like her and not me. I'm hotter. I'm so much hotter than her. Grace is nothing but an innocent naïve little girl. She can’t satisfy Rowan the way I can. I want nothing more than to wrap my fingers round her neck and squeeze the life out of her. Watch as she dies before my very eyes.Rowan is mine. I was with him long before she was around. My Rowan! He met her while he was fucking me. And I’m supposed to take t

Chapter 45Rowan PriestPOVI frown… I look up from the document Andre just gave me. I look at him. “What is this?”“While you were in a coma, I got to thinking, you remember how we were trying to find Grace’s parents…” he reminds me.I nod. “What does this have to do with you doing a DNA on Grace without her permission?” I ask him.“She doesn’t even know those people aren’t her real parents, so I couldn’t out right ask her to give me her hairbrush now I, could I?” he asks sarcastically.I sit up in my bed, ignoring the pain in my side. “Who did you test it against?” I ask.He looks away from me. “Me…”I frown. “You?” I ask.He nods, he finally looks at me. He looks embarrassed, his face is slightly blushed. “I couldn’t shake the feeling that she might be my father’s illegitimate child. She looks so much similar to Angelica, I just had to be sure…” he says softly."This is accurate?” I ask.He nods. “She’s not my little sister…” he sounds disappointed.I look over at him. “Did you wan

Chapter 47 Rowan PriestPOV“Rowan the police have been looking into Miss Smiths disappearance…” Andre says walking into my bedroom.I sigh… I got home about an hour ago and I’ve been lazing around on my bed waiting for Grace to return from class.I’ve yet to see her, I can’t stop myself from feeling excited. The excitement is bubbling inside of me ready to explode. I’ve never felt this excited for anything in my entire life. I haven’t seen her in what feels like a lifetime.No one can blame me for being excited.“Uhm Rowan?” Andre calls out to me.I look over at him, I let out a cough, slightly embarrassed that my mind wandered. “Right Hannah. If Damien cleaned up nicely nothing should lead to Romano, though I think it would be best just to check. Also get Gunner to clean up Hannah’s plotting against Grace. I don’t want anything leading back to Grace…” I order. I didn’t want Grace being connected to Hannah. I didn’t want to dirty Grace’s reputation or her innocence by having that wo
