Chapter 1 - I'm inlove with you

[Elena]My breath hitched as the front door opened.I jerked up from the chair like I’d been caught doing something I wasn’t supposed to. And maybe I was.My stomach churned violently.Asher stepped inside. The soft thud of the door closing behind him echoed across the room, and just as his eyes landed on me, he stopped dead in his tracks.The briefcase in his hand slipped.His eyes widened. His gaze dragged down my body, slowly, like his brain was struggling to catch up with what he was seeing.He took a step forward.And then another."Vienna," he breathed, his voice barely above a whisper.That wasn’t my name.But I didn’t say a word.I knew what I’d done.I had dressed just like her to get his attention. I curled my hair the way she did. Sprayed the floral perfume she always used, until it clung to my skin like second nature. Even now, as the recognition flickered in Asher's eyes, it stung that it was working. That he wasn’t seeing me but her.And still…Still, my heart fluttered

Chapter 2 - She's back?

[Elena]"You mean you saw Vienna? She's back?"Asher’s voice cracked like something inside him had just snapped in half.There was a pause. A long one."Send me the address, now," Asher said loudly, bringing the phone down and tucking it back into his pocket.He turned. His movements were stiff, fast. His entire focus tunneled in on the door. "Asher—" I called, my voice small, breaking.He didn’t stop. Didn’t answer.Just reached for the doorknob.My feet moved before my brain could catch up. "Asher, wait—please."He swung the door open.I stepped forward. "What was the call about? I mean, you said Vienna...," My world faltered as he walked out the door, slamming it shut behind him with a hard thud that made my heart skip.I stood frozen. Still. Unable to move. I opened my mouth to say something but no words came out. My lips pursed into a thin line as what he just said rang over my head.Vienna? Vienna is back?I swallowed the rising lump in my throat and slowly looked around the ro

Chapter 3 - I saw her

[Elena]"Elena…"A soft voice stirred me from sleep, followed by a gentle tap on my arm."Elena."There it was again. That voice that I would recognize anywhere. Even in the middle of sleep. My brows furrowed as my lids peeled open, the dull throb behind my forehead hitting me all at once. I groaned softly, raising a hand to my temple."Are you okay?" Asher’s voice came clearer now, closer. He was crouching beside the couch, eyes searching mine. "You were tossing earlier."I blinked, then winced as the headache deepened. My mouth felt dry. "My head…""I’ll get you water." He stood and disappeared into the kitchen.I sat up slowly, the weight of sleep and discomfort dragging against my body. The morning light slipped through the curtains faintly, and the silence in the room felt heavy. I glanced at the clock on the wall.6:02 A.MMy throat tightened. I rubbed my eyes, forcing them to adjust, to make sense of the ache inside me that wasn’t entirely from the headache.Asher returned wit

Chapter 4 - I never knew

[Asher]My hand tightened on the steering wheel as I drove into the streets of Boston. I needed to see Vienna. It felt like I was losing it. The men I had placed to watch over her at the hotel where she lodged, had already informed me that she had gone to her parents' house just like I predicted.My mind was a mess, and I didn't know why she had to shut the door in my face yesterday.I had to pass the night at my friend's place. The truth was I couldn't face Elena last night. She had prepared all that for me just to make my day and I ended up storming out on her just like that.I swallowed hard, biting down on my lips as I drove into the busy road, heading straight to her parents' house.I batted my lashes as Elena's face suddenly flashed right into my head. "I've always loved you, Asher," her words echoed all over my head. My heart skipped, my jaw clenched hard as I swallowed the sudden lump that made its way to my throat.I never knew she felt something for me. I wouldn't have put h

Chapter 5 - You didn't waste time

[Asher]"What wasn't real?" Vienna asked. I bit down on my lips, knowing I had to explain every damn thing to her."My marriage to your sister wasn't real. A month after your disappearance, I couldn't hold it anymore. I was going insane. I didn't know what I was doing. I came up with the idea, I begged her, and we signed a contract. I wanted the news to reach you so you could come back from wherever you were!" I explained and Vienna took a step back.Confusion flickered across her face. She blinked twice, another unreadable emotion flashing in her eyes just as quickly."And you think I would believe that rubbish?" "I can show you the contract if you want. And you can also ask Elena... Elena," I stuttered as Elena's face flashed back into my head.This wasn't the time for it. I pushed it aside, staring back at Vienna who had her eyes fixed deeply on mine."It wasn't... wasn't real? You signed a contract with her?" Vienna stuttered and I nodded.She lowered her head, a smile curling up
