Neither she nor her parents are part of this

RowanI left Clara talking behind me and went upstairs because I already knew where Zella would be. She had been avoiding me all evening, using Dante as her shield just like I expected. That should have annoyed me, but it did the opposite. It made me pay more attention to her.Zaria had never looked at my son the way this woman did. She filled her life with friends, parties, and clubs while Dante was left for someone else to handle. Zella was different. She watched him closely. She listened when he spoke. She knew how to calm him. Every time I saw her with him, I noticed things I had no reason to care about.When I entered Dante’s room, I sent Emalia out and lay down beside them because I wanted to see what Zella would do. I wanted to watch her struggle. I wanted to hear the change in her breathing when I got close enough to make her lose control. And I wanted to touch her.The color on her face, the way she tried to hide it, and the quiet panic in her eyes pulled me in more than they

I hate this life I have to live.

ZellaI am lying in bed, and my body still feels weak. My appetite is gone, and there is so much running through my mind. I remember how I used to live freely back then. Going to university, having so many friends. I was also working while studying. But something bad happened to me once, and my head still carries that trauma. I chose to forget that moment, but it never really left me.This life I am living now feels like a golden cage. There is no happiness here for me. Everything my uncle Silas told me was a lie. I regret my decision so much. If I could turn back time, I would leave with both of my parents and never look back.I hear footsteps coming toward me, and I shut my eyes fast. A soft touch lands on my head, and I frown because I do not like anyone daring to touch me. But the hand keeps moving, stroking my cheeks, and then it ends with a soft press against my lips."Do not try to fight me," a cold voice says, and it makes me want to keep my eyes closed even more."I do not li

That smile is going to be a problem for me.

Morning comes, and I am so tired that I sleep deeply. I do not even realize that Rowan's whole family has already finished their breakfast. The door opens, and Emalia walks in with her bruised face."Wake up, ma'am," she says.I open my eyes and look at her. I sit up and stare at her sadly."I am so sorry," I say.She just looks down at the floor and does not dare to meet my eyes."I will help you bathe, ma'am," she says.I nod and get up, walking to the bathroom with her following me. She helps me wash, and I do not refuse because I am afraid Rowan will hurt her again."I am sorry, Emalia. You got hurt because of my mistake," I say."It is fine, ma'am. I am okay," she says.I do not know what Emalia did to make Rowan so angry. Every move inside the Christopher house is watched by Rowan and his guards. He gave Emalia a chance to fix her mistake by becoming someone I can trust. If she betrays him again, he will shoot her in the head and kill her whole family. For Rowan, death is the on

Why do I care? Why can I not hate him?

RowanAfter seeing Emalia’s message about Zella moving across the ice, I saw another video. When the video started, I did not look away. I had already read the report. One of those women at the gathering humiliated her in front of everyone. I could imagine it clearly. If it had been Zaria, she would have smiled and pretended nothing mattered. That woman never cared about dignity. Zella was different. She would take it personally. She would feel it.That thought stayed longer. I needed to do something. I called Robert in. He stepped into my office already tense. People always reacted like that around me. I did not try to make it easier for him.“I want you to cancel the agreement with Fredly’s company,” I said.He blinked, clearly not expecting that. “Sir, we just signed that last week.”“I am aware.”He hesitated, then asked, “May I know the reason?”I leaned back and looked at him. “His wife thought she could disrespect my wife.”His eyes widened slightly. That was enough explanation

She will die, and I will take her place.

RowanI woke up because something about Zella was off. Her breathing was uneven, and sweat covered her skin. I turned my head and looked at her lying beside me.She was supposed to be part of a plan arranged by Silas and Zaria, something that should have made everything easier for me. Instead, it made me want to put a bullet in both of them and watch them bleed until there was nothing left in them.If she would not hate me for killing her twin, I would have done it already.She let out a small cry in her sleep, and before I thought about it, I pulled her closer.“Do not be afraid. I am here,” I said quietly.She relaxed in my arms after that, her breathing becoming even. I kept my eyes on her face, studying every small detail like I could find answers there.Her eyes, her smile, the way she looked at me without fear. I did not like how much it affected me.For a moment, I imagined something I never allowed myself to think about. A quiet life. No enemies. No blood. No constant need to

You are lying. I do not like lies

ZellaI moved away from Abel because I did not want trouble. I had already dealt with enough, and today I needed quiet more than anything. That was why I came to the garden. It had always been the only place where my mind could slow down. But my mind would not listen.Memories kept coming in pieces, never complete, never clear. I could see myself walking through campus, rushing between classes, tired but alive. Then everything would stop there. The next thing I knew, there was a hospital. A bed. A body that would not move.Mine. Or hers.I pressed my fingers against my head as the pressure built again. It felt like something inside me was trying to break through, but I could not reach it. I did not know how I had gotten sick. I did not know what had happened during that year. And the worst part was this. I did not know if those memories belonged to me. Or to Zaria.If we were really twins, then maybe that bond people talked about was not just a story. Maybe I was seeing things I was n

One day, you will need my help.

ZellaI smiled without meaning to as I remembered that day at the mall. It had only been a short time, just a few hours with Rowan and Dante, but it felt real, even though I knew it would not last.That was the part that bothered me. None of this life truly belonged to me.I sat on the bed with a book in my hand while Dante slept beside me. His small body rose and fell with each breath, peaceful in a way that made me want to stay right there and never move. Spending time with him changed something in me. I had never thought being a mother could feel like this. The way he spoke, the way he looked at me, the way he reached for me without thinking about it made me want to hold him again and again. I should not want this so much. Because it is not mine.I let out a slow breath and turned a page, trying to focus, but I could not ignore the quiet truth sitting in the back of my mind. I was only borrowing this life. Rowan did not stop me from going anywhere, but I still felt trapped, just in

She is lying to all of us..

RowanThe meeting had dragged on longer than it should have, and I had no patience left. Two of my businesses were close to falling apart because the southern territory decided to hold my weapons supply. That was not a delay. That was a challenge.I leaned back in my chair, watching the men in front of me, waiting for one of them to give me something useful.Xavier looked at me. “So you want me to go there myself?”Samuel let out a quiet laugh. “Who else is going? It can not be me. I am already dealing with enough problems in the government.”Darren crossed his arms, looking pleased with himself. “And I am not going either. If something happens to me, who will keep all of you alive? My brain is not something you can replace.”I pressed my fingers to my temple and thought it through. If Xavier left, everything here would fall apart. The gangs stayed in line because they feared him. Without him, I would spend my time fixing chaos instead of running my empire.There was only one option l

I have people watching..

ZellaKnowing that Rowan already knew who I was should have made things easier, but it did not fix everything. I felt lighter, but there was still too much around me that did not feel right.I had heard from the servants that Cassia cried a few days ago. The way they talked about it stayed in my mind. I did not know why it bothered me this much, but it did. I had also said I would try with both Cassia and Arabella, and I meant it. If I was going to stay here, I would not ignore any of them again.As I walked past her room, I heard it. Soft crying. It made me stop. I turned to Emalia. “That is Cassia’s room, right?”“Yes, ma’am,” she said.I pulled her closer and lowered my voice. “If I go in there, do you think it is right? I feel bad for her. She is still a child. She needs someone to care about her. It feels like no one is doing that for her, not even Rowan.”Emalia looked at me for a moment, then nodded. “I think it will be good. No one really pays attention to them. They have ever

Everything in this house is changing

ZariaI never thought the men working for my own husband would lay their hands on me like this.They dragged me across the floor like I meant nothing, like carrying his name meant nothing at all. My wrists burned from their grip, and every step made it harder to breathe, but I refused to let them see me struggle.My husband, Evans Christopher, asked them to treat me like this? Even having that thought makes my jaw tighten. A man people fear without ever meeting him. A man who owns more than most countries. A man who married me and still looks at me like I am something he can not stand. I remember the first time I saw him.It was at a company event, loud and full of people pretending to matter. I had seen men like that all my life. I grew up surrounded by power and money. My father made sure I never lacked anything. If I wanted something, I got it. If I wanted a man, I took him. But Rowan did not even look at me.That was the moment he caught my attention. Later, I learned who he reall
