Chapter 1 Leilani Hades "Mom, please help me. I need to save nana," I fell to my knees, begging Mom with tears in my eyes. "I can't let her die," I shook my head, whimpering. "Why should I give you money to save Felicia, Leilani? Stop trying so hard. She's already old. She's going to die, anyway," Mom looked at me with that usual expression disgust and hatred as she stated casually. 'Why does she hate me so much?' This is the question I've been asking myself for years but didn't have an answer to. I would've sworn she adopted me if not that we had striking resemblance. "Why don't you stop being pathetic because of that old hag, Leilani? I'm disappointed in you," Lyra, my twin sister rolled her eyes, crossing her legs. She was sitting on the couch with Mom. This old hag she was referring to was the only family I had. The only one who ever cared about me. The only one who never bullied or looked down on me when my biological family did. How could I Iet h

Chapter 3 Jaxon Grant My attention was drawn to the aroma coming from the dining room as soon as I woke up in the living room. My body ached since I was not used to sleeping on the couch, but I felt relieved as the thought of my wife crossed my mind. The table was already set with series of dish which all looked delicious. My mouth salivated at the sight of them. "Good morning, wife," My lips curled up in a smile as I walked over to Lyra. "Good morning," Her voice was low and shaky, turning to glance at me with a forced smile on her face. As much as I didn't want to give it much thought, I couldn't help but notice how awkward she had been around me since yesterday that we got married. 'You two just got married. It's only right that she feels this way' I tried to convince myself. Besides, we didn't date for long before getting married, and we've only hung out a couple of times. "You didn't have to stress yourself," I said, going to stand beside her. I tu

Chapter 5 Leilani Hades My heart pounded hard in my chest as I sat in Mr. Derek's living room while waiting for him. Mr. Derek was my dad's best friend before he passed away, and he had since been our family's close friend after dad's demise. I didn't want to reach out to him if not that he was the last hope that I had. My attention was drawn to his footsteps descending the staircase, and my heart missed a beat as I fondled my fingers nervously. “I'm sorry for keeping you waiting, dear. I was attending to something in the room,” he groaned, sitting on the couch. Mr. Derek was in his early forties. “It's fine, Sir. Good day, Sir,” I bowed to him, and he waved his hand dismissively, smiling at me. “Leilani, right?” He asked, and I nodded. I had told him over the phone yesterday. “Uhm… Sir, about what we discussed,” I said almost in a whisper, my heart beating rapidly like it was going to explode. “Oh… right…” he paused, standing up from where he was sitting. I th
