All Chapters of I Took My Sister's Place....And Fell For Her Mafia Husband: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Zella I kept my eyes on the road, but my thoughts were far from it. Today was the day I had to face the Cristopher family. The day I had to step into my sister’s life and pretend to be her.For the past two days, I had done nothing but study Zaria. The way she talks. The way she walks. The way she looks at people. I had to learn everything, because one mistake could cost all of us our lives. We may share the same face, but we are nothing alike.I have never cared about makeup. I like simple things, simple clothes, simple living. People still call me beautiful, even without trying. But Zaria is different. She grew up surrounded by luxury. She dresses like she owns the world. Her face is always painted, her lips always red, her presence is bold and hard to ignore. She knows how to draw people in.I do not. My hair falls straight down my back, dark and plain. Hers is brown and styled to catch attention. Everything about her demands attention, while everything about me tries to stay out

Zella I opened my eyes and smiled when I saw Dante still sleeping beside me. I watched him for a moment. He looked peaceful, like nothing in the world could touch him. I got out of bed and stood there, unsure of what to do next. Nothing here belongs to me, yet I have to act like it does. I stepped out of Dante’s room and walked down the hallway, trying to figure out which room belonged to Zaria.“Where are you going?”I turned and saw a teenage girl standing a few steps away. She had fair skin and bright green eyes. She was beautiful, but the way she looked at me made it clear she did not want me near her. I recognized her immediately. Cassia. Rowan’ second daughter.“Hey… hi,” I said, trying to move closer.She stepped back at once, like she did not want me near her.“Do not touch me,” she said, her voice cold.I stopped.“Why are you still awake?” I asked.She looked at me like I had no right to ask.“That is not your business.”“It is my business,” I said. “You are my daughter.”S

Zella POVTwo days passed before I finally opened my eyes. The first thing I noticed was the pain in my head. It would not go away, no matter how still I stayed. I looked around, trying to figure out where I was.Then I realized. I was in his room again. Rowan’ room. The same place I had entered before, the one no one is allowed to step into without his permission.A woman in a nurse’s uniform stood beside me. She smiled when she saw I was awake and moved closer. She removed the needle from my wrist.“Thank you,” I said.She shook her head. “I am your attendant, Madam. I am assigned to take care of your health.”I looked at her, surprised. Even the servants here are trained nurses.“Why would you work as a servant when you are a nurse?” I asked.“The pay here is five times what I earned at the hospital,” she said without hesitation. “Working for Master Rowan is considered an honor.”That did not make sense to me.“What is your name?” I asked.“My name is Emalia, Madam. From now on, I

Zella POVAfter breakfast, I went straight to Dante’s room. The moment I saw him, I paused. His face looked dull, like he had lost his usual energy. When he saw me, his eyes lit up. He ran to me and wrapped his arms around me tightly.“Mama, where did you go? What happened to your head?” he asked, staring at the bandage.“I did not go anywhere, Dante,” I said, holding him close. “Mama was sick and needed to rest. That is why I could not see you.”He held onto me even tighter. His small body pressed against mine, and I held him a little tighter. For a moment, it felt like nothing was wrong.“Where do you want to go, Dante?” I asked, forcing a smile. “Let us go out.”“I want ice cream at the park, Ma!” he said excitedly.I nodded. I asked Emalia to get permission from Rowan. She made the call, and thankfully, he agreed.“Master allows you to go out with the young master,” Emalia said. “But you must be accompanied by the bodyguards.”I nodded again. That is fine. As long as I get to spen

I did not know how long I stayed in the bathtub. At some point, the water rose too high. At some point, I stopped trying to stay aware. Everything faded.When I opened my eyes again, I was in bed, dressed, weak, and empty.After that night, something inside me changed.I could not stand the thought of Rowan coming near me again. I locked myself inside his room and only stepped onto the balcony when I felt trapped inside. The only people I allowed near me were Dante and Emalia. Rowan had gone to Japan, but instead of relief, I felt something else. He had broken something in me and walked away.*******More than a month passed while I lived in this house as Zaria. His words stayed in my head, and I kept trying to understand what had happened. I knew the truth about myself. No man had touched me before him. So why did he think otherwise? And if he knew I was not Zaria, why was I still alive?Nothing in this place made sense.That afternoon, Emalia brought lunch while Dante sat on my lap.
