Awkward

ALINA’S POVfool, fool fool. What a big fool I was. I felt like the ground should just open and swallow me.I hate this, I hate this. I hate this city. I hate this goddamned city.My hands were still trembling, my legs felt like they could not hold me.Fuck I hate it.Edrick Vale.I could have bumped into a thousand people. But Edrick? Why did it have to be him? Why did he have to be in the same hotel?DL city is big enough. I knew things like this would definitely happen, but I did not expect it would be in my first hours in the city. And I definitely did not prepare myself on how to react if I should stumble across any of these people from my past. Calm down Alina. He did not recognize you. All he saw was blonde hair, blue eyes and woman with a completely different face structure from the Alina he knows.Alina is dead. And all Edrick saw was Laina.I stood in one spot and calmed myself down before go

Expensive joke

ALINA’S POVI woke up earlier than I should. Mostly because I was too excited to stay in bed, but also because I needed to get a baby sitter for Clover while I am gone.The first thing I did was pick up my phone and scroll through it like my life depended on it. I opened the most trusted baby sitter’s site in the city. Even with that, I had to read each and every review to see if I can trust that person. I cannot leave my baby with just anyone.After I was done assessing the reviews, the real challenge began. Finding someone who was not already booked.Lord, I should have booked a baby sitter last night.Finally, I managed to get one. Grace.Clover and I had a late break-fast before Grace showed up, and I started getting ready.Nothing serious, just a simple dress, light makeup and jewelry.As informed, the driver came to pick me up at exactly 11:30.The meeting is by 12, so I guess that was early enough.I kissed clover goodbye, then made my way to the car. It was the same one that p

Failure

Alina’s pov“How was your trip? Hope you are enjoying DL city.” Hannah said.I could not even answer her. I was trying to wrap my head around what was happening.I hid my trembling hands under the table, and gave her a short nod, in reply.“Are you okay? Do you need water?” she asked.Fuck I was probably turning pale from all the mind tension.Calm down Alina. She doesn’t even know who you are. She has no idea.And Hannah isn’t an enemy, she was never bad to me. But still, being around her made me nervous. Especially because I had seen Edrick too. Just 24 hours in this cursed city and I am meeting people I was determined to avoid.Who next?Aria? A shudder ran through me at the thought of her.“I am fine. Let’s get to business.” I straightened my back. I was already here. Acting weird will just be plain stupid.“Okay, that’s good.&rdquo

ENTWINED

ALINA’S POVWhy would she get everything she wants while I plan to give up such a big opportunity just to hide from her.Who is she? A monster, yes. But that doesn’t mean she gets to go free with everything.My mind trailed back to that night when the explosion occurred. It was her. I have spent years trying to say maybe I misheard, maybe I assumed. I did not want to believe my twin will kill me no matter how bad our differences. But how will I mishear a voice that sounded exactly like mine.She killed me. And now that I am back, I will not let her kill my dreams.“That’s it, we are staying!”“Staying where?” Clover, who was still coloring petals raised her head to ask.I smiled.“In this city. Don’t you like it?”“It’s pretty, Mommy.”My lips spread even wider. My biggest priority will always be keeping Clover safe.I scann

Fix

Edrick’s POV“What in God’s earth do you want Aria?”I was tired she has been yelling for twenty minutes straight. God knows I cannot take it much longer.“You aren’t listening to me Edrick! At all.” She fired.“You made me take that picture. I left work that afternoon and spent hours with your annoying photographers. We were featured as best couples, isn’t that the aim?” Because I was not getting what more she wanted.“Well look at the picture Edrick! You fucking don’t look like a man in love.” She was yelling and crying at the same time.“Aria I did the exact pose you and your photographer wanted.”“This is not just about poses Edrick. Look at your face, look at your eyes, you look like you were forced to be there.”I wanted to say it is because I was forced. But she was already upset. I did not want to make it worse.“Aria, I don’t know what to say to you. I don’t know what you want.”“What I want? I want you to stop embarrassing me with your lack of affection! You are the youngest

No

ALINA’S POVClover would not shut up about the ice cream shop I promised to bring her to when we first landed the city.In All honesty, I could not even remember the name. So, it took us a lot of navigating and pissing off our uber to finally get there.I got her ice cream and ordered matcha which they surprisingly had.The playground at the back looked refreshing. And it would be good for Clover to play with kids her own age, especially since we have been trapped in the hotel for past two days.I sat by the benches and watched her play while I sipped on my matcha.Then the feeling began. The crazy deep feeling of someone’s eyes intensely drilling into me.I could tell the direction the stare was coming from. And I was hesitant to look.But I did anyway.I aimed to stylishly turn, and catch the person without looking too obvious.But the moment I saw who it was, I lost all a balance.Edrick fuck

launch

ALINA’S POVMy plan was simple; lay low, achieve my goals and get out of this city before anyone from my past sees Clover and start doing the math.I can handle the company from a far, visit when needed. Anything to keep my baby safe.The past five days have been hectic and smooth.We have been working our asses off to bring CloverXH’s Designs to life.And we were actually making progress.Today, some already made dresses were sent in from Tarry town.They were what we will showcase for the launching.“Liana, do you think I should add this upstairs with the exclusives? It does look like it’ll fit right in,” Hannah walked up to me, hair tied in a messy bun, wearing a giant t shirt, sweat pants and flip flops. She looked like a walking zombie. A pretty one of course. Damn she hasn’t been resting this past week.“Uhm? What do you think?” she shook the dress in her hand. It was

problem

ALINA’S POV I got home and threw myself on the bed.That’s it. I can just switch my phone off, take a hot shower and go to sleep. They would look for Liana Bennet and not find her.But that was not who I was am.I gave Hannah my word. By the way, I did sign a contrac5t partnering with the vales a week ago. so that means I get an invite to all their events.So, cocktail party, here I come.John came and drove me to the venue. It was one of the Vales pent houses. One I have never been to.When I stepped out of the elevator, one of the men there led me up a series of stairs. I stopped in place the moment I reached the top. It was an entrance to a rooftop.I just stood there, staring, looking around. The place was beautiful. Not loud or flashy. Just, soft, quiet and expensive.The typical Vale event.With low music, people walking around like they belonged.Waiters passed by with drink

Off

Edrick’s POV. “I swear, Father. I did not mean to miss it. The meeting was just so hectic!”Dad just stared at me like I was just making excuses. But honestly, I tried. Things would not have been this hectic if he still came to the office to help around.“You should have made time. You know this is Hannah’s first business. it meant a lot to her.” He scolded.“I did try. I tried. But if I had left the office, we might have lost that deal. And honestly, I thought I would make it, but the meeting took longer.” Dad just rolled his eyes as if I was saying bullshit. “Where is Hannah?” I looked around and she was making her way to the table. “You know I would not miss your launch without a reason.”But Hannah’s attention was not on that. She had better things to say.“GUYS, meet the famous Liana Bennet of clover designs.

Foolery

ALINA”S POVA lousy big mouthed fool is what I am!Why did I mention Grandma? Why oh, why?I had totally forgotten the main reason I know her is because we met at the island.Alina knows her. Not Liana.I picked up my drink, hoping the topic would change.It is sad that the old lady was0 sick though. she was such a vibe. Gave me my first royal spa experience.“Edrick come on, Just do it,” I raised my head at the sound of Aria’s voice.What was she on about? She was bickering about something to Edrick. Though, her voice was a low whisper, I could hear her clearly.“NO.” Edrick said flatly. Hannah, and Mr. Vale where having a personal discussion, Anna was on her phone. I was the only one watching them argue about what only God knew. I should look away. Be on my phone or something. But Dang, I was too nosey.“Why don’t you act like a reasonable human.” Aria groaned.“Stop.” Edrick said.“If you do this, no more fighting in front of Jaime.” Aria said.And he tensed immediately.Jaime?
