CHAPTER 1I can't breathe. I'm nervous as hell. And while I hope it is not as visible as it feels, I like to believe that everyone would simply think I am acting all weird because I'm a first-time bride.But the truth is, I'm nervous because I'm a fraud. I never wanted any part in this. But I have no choice. With a deep sigh, I force down an invisible lump in my throat, looking up at the priest.I press my fingers tighter into the flower I am holding, hoping it hides how much I am shaking. Dreading the words the priest is about to utter. “Do you, Ariella Cecilia Boone, take Dermos Salvatore to be your lawfully wedded husband?” The priest asks.I blink.I badly want to say it, badly want to scream that I am not Ariella Cecilia Boone.My sister ran away this morning, and I am being forced to take her place. I badly want to fling this flower at his face and flee.Yet mom's voice replays in my head like a broken record.“You have to do it, Cara Mia, your sister is nowhere to be found.

CHAPTER 2The ride back to his home is one of the longest ever. I literally press myself into my seat, trying hard not to feel depressed as I think of how I always thought I would have a magnificent wedding. Now, I am sitting in my husband's car, drenched in blood in my sister's wedding dress. This sucks, my whole life sucks.And the deathly silence in the car isn't helping a bit. Dermos is seated beside me and pretending that I don't exist, while Carlos drives the car, a Tesla. The silence gets to me until I can't stand it anymore. My head slowly turns to look at him, my husband.I see now that he is buried in his phone. “Are we close?” I can't help but ask. The dress is sticky and itchy, plus the idea of someone's blood drying on me makes me want to puke.“Soon be there, Mrs Salvatore,” Carlos responds while Dermos doesn't even move an inch as if he didn't hear a single word I said.Instead, he remains deep into what he is typing on his phone, not even sparing me a glance.I ta

CHAPTER 3“Hey imposter, I know who you really are. And soon I will make sure he does too.”Blood drains from my entire body as I re-read the message over and over again.Who the hell is this? And how did they know about me? Oh my god, what the heck am I going to do? I can't have Dermos find out about this.No, it must be a prank. Without letting in too much thought, I press the delete button, and the message wipes off. I press my hand forward, dragging myself off the floor where I stumbled. I quickly change into my nightwear, crawling into the pink, hideous bed to try and get some sleep.The keyword being try. Sleep refuses to find me as I toss and turn around the sheets that won't stop itching me.Thoughts fill my head with question upon question. Who sent me that message? Why did they send me such?It didn't say anything about wanting something in return, so what was the purpose of the message? To scare me?No, I don't think so. If they wanted Dermos to know, then they would have

CHAPTER 4He sets his fork down before speaking again. “The changes are noted and will be made.”He joins his hands together. “Once we finish breakfast, I would love to introduce you to the two most important people in this house.” Something new to talk about. Finally.“Okay, that's fine. Do I get to work as a part of the household?” I can't help but broach the subject of not wanting to be a housewife.He is rich, yes. But I have no interest in whiling away my days here doing nothing. I hate it. “No, you aren't. As a Donna, it's not allowed for you to work, I do the working-”“So, what am I going to spend my life doing?” I snap, dropping my cutlery as I feel my appetite take a fast dive to Neverland.He doesn't say anything at first, just sits there, hands placed on the table as he slowly chews on his food like he moves at his own pace, and every other person should go shit themselves.It's so annoying.“Listen, Ariella, we have gone over the rules, but you seem to have forgotten, s

CHAPTER 5My head snaps back automatically, causing an unexpected shriek to escape my lips as Dermos stands at the door, gun pointing at me.“Don, it's nothing. I heard screaming, so I came to check on her.” Buzz cut lies through his damned teeth as he turns to glare at me, daring me to say otherwise.Slowly but surely, he lowers his gun before nodding at Carlos, then they walk out together, leaving me stunned, confused, and alone.What the hell has Ariella gotten me into? Was she being threatened, too? Was that why she ran? Did she find out how crazy these people were?Suddenly, I don't really blame her anymore. My legs give out as I slump to the floor, pressing my lids as my lips tremble.I refuse to cry. I can't cry.No matter how many times I repeat the mantra, soft tears run down my cheeks as I cry for the life I am now in.Forced into a world I know nothing of, a world filled with danger.What the hell am I going to do? The tears don't stop as I cry my heart out, somehow drifti

Chapter 6My eyes flutter open, but the lights cause me to shut them back. Without thinking, I raise my head only to be met with a banging headache.What the hell happened?I try to focus my vision causing me to slowly pry my lids open. I look around, only for my eyes to meet those cold gazes. Dermos is lounging on the soft couch in front of my bed, eyes calculating as he rests his jaw on his palm with his elbows pressing on his thighs.God, he looks so handsome. A strand of his hair falls forward. I don't know if it's a mistake or on purpose, but it still looks so damned good.He is dressed in a pair of joggers and a simple top that contracts his muscles in this position.Holy hell, he looks exactly like sin.“When you are done gawking, let me know so you can explain why my men found you outside bleeding.” His sharp voice snaps me out of my daydreaming.Damnit! I can't look at him like that. He belongs to Ariella.“Umm.” Words fail me as I try to rack my brain for what to say.I can

CHAPTER 7Ariel's POVI stood frozen, my heart racing as the sound of footsteps approached.I quickly scanned the room, my eyes landing on the curtain beside me. I darted behind it, holding my breath as the person walked in.The room was dimly lit, but I could see a little light coming from the hallway. I peeked through the gap between the curtain and the wall, my eyes adjusting to the darkness.A figure stood in the center of the room, their back to me. It was a woman, and she was speaking in a low tone.“You're talking too much, Isabella.” She said.Who in the world was that?There was a pause, and then the sound of a slap resounded through the room. I gasped, my hand flying to my mouth.“Don't. Ever. Speak. Again.” The woman added.I waited a few moments before I slowly emerged from behind the curtain.Isabella stood in the center of the room, her face pale and her eyes wide with fear. She looked at me, and I could tell she was trying to compose herself.“Isabella, what's going on?

CHAPTER 8Ariel's POVI gazed at my pale skin in the mirror and then at my cheeks that were currently bright red.Ariel!I immediately pinched my cheeks, reprimanding myself for blushing. No, I wasn't blushing... but for whatever that was.Dermos is Ariella’s husband, not mine.Not mine.Fuck, he's not mine!But why did my mind keep going back to yesterday?I’d stood there, frozen, my lips still tingling from the kiss before I had pushed Dermos away, my heart was beating crazy even though I shouted at it not to.He had looked at me, his eyes calm as ever, and said. “You're different, Ariella. I don't know what's changed, but you're not the same person I thought you were.”At some point, I thought it was a joke, but then I realized he'd said ‘Ariella’, not ‘Ariel.’Of course, he likes my sister, that's the fucking main reason they got married!I'm Ariel, not Ariella. He likes Ariella.I repeated this three times, reminding myself where I stood. Ariella would soon return, and I'll be se

CHAPTER 9Ariel's POVI stood there, frozen in terror, as Dermos finally stopped. His chest was heaving, and his eyes were burning with an intensity that made my skin prickle badly.He took a step back, his gaze raking over me. “Time is ticking, Ariella.” That was all he said before he was gone, leaving me a shaking mess.I felt like I'd been holding my breath for hours, and finally, I let it out in a painful gasp. I wrapped my arms around myself, trying to hold it together, but my legs felt like jelly.I stumbled to the shower, hoping the water would wash away the fear and anxiety that was threatening to consume me.The water was scorching hot, but I barely felt it. I just stood there, letting it pound against my skin, trying to process what had just happened.Dermos.. I really needed to get away from him.I got out of the shower, wrapped myself in a towel, and reached for my phone.There was a text waiting for me. I was not surprised.This same shit kept repeating itself.My heart

CHAPTER 10Ariel's POVMy eyes widened, gaze shifting downwards to Darmos’ hand.Shit. I shouldn't have come to his office!But luckily, he removed his hand as quickly. I swallowed hard, trying to come up with a believable excuse. “I.. I was just looking for you.” I blurted out, feeling my heart sink as the words left my lips.Gosh, I was bad at lying when I needed it the most!Dermos's eyes darkened, his expression turning icy. “Are you lying?”I felt a shiver run down my spine as he took a step closer, his gaze burning into mine. “I’m.. not.”He studied my face, his eyes moving slowly, like he was trying to decode something. I felt like I was under a microscope, my every flaw and insecurity laid bare.By now, I just wanted to go back.His gaze on my skin was hot.Dermos's gaze lingered on mine, his eyes flashing with anger. “Snooping around my office, looking for things that don't concern you, is one thing I do not and will not condone.” He said. “What exactly were you searching for
