Chapter 11

Elena's eyes fluttered open to harsh morning sunlight streaming through the curtains. She lay there for a moment, her mind replaying the events of last night. The ballroom. The humiliation. Four men claiming to be her brothers.It had to be a dream. Some desperate fantasy her broken heart had conjured.She sat up slowly, rubbing her eyes, and that's when she saw the wine-stained dress crumpled on the floor. Her shoes kicked off by the door. Her phone on the nightstand showed multiple missed calls from unknown numbers.Her heart began to race."Aaron?" she called out, her voice hoarse.Elena wrapped herself in her robe and went to the kitchen. The dinner she'd prepared last night sat exactly where she'd left it untouched, cold, the edges of the food starting to discolor. She'd made his favorite. Beef stew with roasted vegetables. She'd spent three hours cooking it, hoping it would make him smile when he came home.But obviously he never came home.She checked her phone. No messages. No

Chapter 12

AARON"I divorced Elena today."The words hung in the air of his parents' lavish living room. Aron watched their faces, waiting for the inevitable reaction.His mother's hand flew to her chest, her eyes widening with what could only be described as pure joy. "Oh, thank God! Finally!" She turned to her husband. "Richard, did you hear that? He finally came to his senses!"His father set down his newspaper, a rare smile crossing his stern features. "Best decision you've made in three years, son. That girl was munching on us.""A gold digger," his mother spat, rising from her chair. "That's all she ever was. Eating our wealth, spending your money on God knows what, pretending to be something she wasn't."Aaron's jaw tightened. Elena had barely spent anything. She'd been almost painfully modest, actually. But he didn't correct them."What about the house?" his father asked."She took nothing. Just left."His mother clapped her hands together. "Even better! See? She knew she had no claim to

Chapter 13

After accepting the divorce from Aaron, he went straight to a nearby cafe. Where she ordered a cup of coffee, but couldn't touch it. She wanted time alone. To think of anything that she has done to Aaron that deserves a divorce.Aaron has always been the one at fault but he will definitely find a way to make her look back.After spending almost the whole day at the cafe. Elena thought about going back to Aaron's house to pick up her stuff and find a new place to stay or running away completely where no one will find her.She was still in the thought of that, when her phone lights up. It was a call from one of his brothers.The four have been calling her since today but she still can't believe whatever thing that has happened last night to be true.Elena hesitated for a moment before picking the call.“Hello” she answered in a moody tone.“Hello….” the caller from the other end replied.“We have been trying to reach you. Can we meet today?” He asked. Before realizing that Elena has bee

Chapter 14

Aaron should have felt like a weight had left his shoulders, but seeing the divorce papers well signed by Elena his face went cold again. Why?He took another gulp of his drink. After the scene at the restaurant Aaron had been drinking. He knew how much Elena loved and doted on him in the past so he never expected that she'd accept the divorce and also move on so fast.He needed explanations, her family couldn't just pop out of the blue right at the time they were separating. Aaron slammed the glass on the counter hard, spilling its contents."You should stop drinking Aaron. There is no way Elena can be one the Andersons. I can tell you she's a bitch sleeping around with men. " Tiffani said as she'd been watching him drowning himself in alcohol since, she only stayed back hidden to watch him get vulnerable. “Stay away from me!” Aaron declared as he stood up from his seat leaving the bar. Aaron almost fell as he was walking. Tiffani helped him into the master's bedroom. She took o

Chapter 15

Elena opened her eyes slowly and for a moment, she simply stared at the ceiling.The house was quiet. She couldn’t smell Aaron’s woody cologne or hear the cold voice of her mother-in-law downstairs.It took a while for reality to hit her. She was no longer Elena Calvalli, she was Elena Anderson, a legitimate daughter of one of the wealthiest families in the country.She smiled slowly as the memory of the photographs Tiffany had sent flashed across her mind. Aaron sprawled across the bed, with Tiffany pressed against him.It was no longer as painful as it had been when she saw the pictures. Now, all she felt was determination.She sat up, her eyes hardening. “Both of you will regret it,” she whispered.Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door. “Miss Anderson?” A soft feminine voice called out.She furrowed her brows as she walked to the door, wondering who it was. She had declined her brother’s offer of a housekeeper. She wanted to be alone after all the chaos.She opened the do

The pain came first. It seemed to come from all over her body. It felt as though a boulder had landed in her head. Her chest ached and her throat felt dry. Everywhere was dark and she couldn’t remember where she was. Then she began to hear sounds. Muffled voices, the steady beep of a machine and the sound of something or rather, someone moving. It was when she perceived the smell of antiseptic and something that reminded her of hospitals that her eyelids fluttered open. The light was too bright and she winced, trying to sit up. “Easy,” someone said. It was a male voice and it sounded urgent. Another voice followed almost immediately. “Elena!”“Thank God you’re awake!” Another voice followed. Her eyes opened properly this time. Everything was blurry at first and then slowly, she began to make out the faces. The world was blurred at first, then slowly sharpened into shapes and faces.Four men stood around her bed. Her brothers.Ethan was closest, his usually composed face tight w

“Hell no!” Ethan looked at his sister as though she had suddenly grown a horn. “What the hell are you saying?” He continued. “I won’t let you do that. It’s dangerous!”The others nodded in agreement and Martins cleared his throat. “We lost you for years, Elena. And we’re not about to…”Elena let out a deep breath. “But you won’t be losing me. I’m always going to be your sister, but Elena Anderson has to go! It’s the only way.”Ethan shook his head. “We’re not doing that! You want us to bury…”he clenched his fist tightly. “It’s not going to happen, Elena and that’s final!”“Let me explain,” she winced as she tried to sit up again and Mark was at her side immediately.“You just survived an attempt on your life, Elena. You need to rest, not scheme. Let us handle this,” he tried, but Elena wasn’t having it.“This is not a scheme,” she said, her voice lower this time. Her entire body ached and she had been straining her body and voice.“It is,” Kelvin said coolly. “And it’s dangerous.”S

Chapter 18

The elevator door slid open with a soft chime and Elena stepped out, her heels clicking sharply against the shiny marbled floor of the Anderson group’s headquarters.She let out a deep breath. This was it.It was her first day at work, and not as Elena Anderson or Elena Calvalli.Her fingers tightened slightly around the leather strap of her handbag.At the reception, heads turned. Some stared openly, perhaps wondering who this beautiful woman was. Others whispered to themselves. She kept walking, staring right ahead.She saw a short woman walk past and was just about to call for her, realizing quickly who it was and then remembering that she was undercover, she stopped.She had forgotten to ask about Felicity and Ed, but seeing how Felicity looked, she decided that everything was fine with them.“This way, Miss Marilyn,” her guide, Ms. Tonya, one of the secretaries said and she smiled as she followed the right faced woman.She still wasn’t used to hearing the name being called aloud.

Chapter 19

Elena stared at him for a long while and then slowly, a smile stretched on her lips.“Dinner sounds lovely,” she smiled in what she hoped would look seductive, although the Aaron she knew never bothered with her silly seductive acts.Aaron’s expression brightened almost immediately. “Tonight?” He sounded hopeful.She hated how her body reacted to his closeness and wished that there was a switch or something she could use to turn off her feelings and focus on the task at hand.An opportunity had presented itself. A dangerous one, but still, she couldn’t let it pass her by.It would be like killing multiple birds with a single stone. If Aaron had anything to do with the accident, she would find out. And even if he didn’t, she would make him fall for her, make him want her and love her and when he did, then she would destroy him the same way he had destroyed her.“No,” she said finally and smiled. She needed more time in order for this date not to be her last with him and besides, tonigh

Chapter 20

Elena stood frozen, it was almost as though her brain had stopped working.Her fingers trembled as she gripped the curtain tightly. The man was looking straight at her.She staggered back as though the man would be able to reach her from there. Her heart slammed hard against her chest. She was certain that she was the only one in the office. Mr. Rhodes had left earlier and the other staffs had gone too and then the floor had gone quiet. She had seen things like this in movies and knew what would happen next. The killer would come find her and kill her in hopes of protecting his secret.She grabbed her phone and dialed Martins immediately. He was the first person she thought about.He answered on the first ring. “Elena,” he sounded calm. She nearly burst into tears upon hearing his voice. “Martins,” her voice was low. “Someone just got shot in the parking lot...”“What!” He didn’t let her finish speaking, surprised at what she was saying.“I saw two men arguing,” her voice cracked a
