All Chapters of Her Face, My Wife's Shadow : Chapter 1 - Chapter 6

Aria's POV ​My life in New York was simple. I was an architect. I worked hard day and night to become the woman I am now. I was good at my job because I believed in facts and logic.​But looking at that wedding photo, logic was dead.​The woman in the picture wasn't just a lookalike. She was a twin. She was me. Every tiny detail was there including the little scar on my chin from when I fell off my bike at seven years old.​"This is some kind of a trick," I said, though my voice was shaking.​"Aria..." Mila, my closest friend whispered next to me. "She has your face. Exactly your face."​I looked at the strange man I met a few minutes ago claiming that I was his wife, Isabella. I must admit he was too strikingly handsome with his tall frame. I also later found out his name was Alexander Sterling. He was watching me like I was a prize he had finally won. He didn't look like a grieving husband; he looked like a man who would never let me leave.​"Isabella Sterling," The way he said th

Alexander’s POVThe heavy door of my study clicked shut, echoing like a heartbeat in the silent corridor. I leaned my head back against the chair, closing my eyes. My mind was a storm of static and ghosts.

The dates didn't make sense. The records for Aria Bennett started exactly six months after Isabella’s car went over that cliff. Six months of silence, and then a new woman suddenly appeared."How?"

I was confused, caught between a desperate hope that she had returned and a terrifying fear that I was being played by a master of disguise. But the mole behind her ear... the tiny scar on her chin... those wer

Alexander's POVI frowned when I heard that Mila Evans refused to go with them back to the U.S."Ms. Evans, I’ve made arrangements for your safety as well.""I don't care about the money or the jet," Mila snapped as she walked over to Aria and grabbed her hand. "Aria is my best friend. She’s like a sister to me. I’m not leaving her alone in a foreign country with a man who thinks she’s a ghost and a bunch of crazy people with guns trying to kidnap her.""Ms. Evans, go home. It’s safer for you there." I said, trying to convince her."No!" Mila was firm in her words. "If she stays, I stay too. That’s the deal and I’m the only one here who actually knows the real Aria. I’m not letting her go."I looked at the two women. I wanted Mila gone because she was a distraction but I could see the bond between them. If I forced Mila to leave, Aria would hate me forever. And right now, Aria needed someone she trusted."Fine," I growled. "You can stay, but you will follow my rules. You will stay wit
