"You're getting married today! It is your duty to your family! You must!" Claire's mother said as she held on to her daughter's hand while a veil was being fixed on her head. "Married! You must be joking mum! I'd rather jump off a cliff!" "Everyone is waiting Claire! You have no choice!" Her mother snapped at her and Claire snatched her hand away from hers in annoyance. "Why must I be forced to suffer for Charlotte's mistakes?!" Charlotte and Claire Branson are identical twins but have lived separate lives ever since they were born. Charlotte, being the perfect daughter and the better sister, was betrothed to marry Henry Laurent, the son of their long time friend and business partner. On the day of the wedding, the Bransons arrive in Charlotte's room to meet a note, Charlotte has eloped with their chauffeur, leaving her parents distraught. Quickly, her family moves to save themselves from public embarrassment and get Claire to stand in line for her sister. Claire refuses at first, but has no choice as she is pushed into the waiting arms of Henry Laurent, an unwilling partner of the marriage who had thought he was getting married to the 'better' sister. Claire is determined to hate her new husband, but this doesn't turn out as planned.

Chapter 1.
"Here!!"Claire said out loud as she hurriedly tried to put on her earrings while the cab stopped in front of her parents villa. She picked up her coat and quickly shrugged it on, it was quite a chilly morning."Here? Oh Oh! You live here?"He asked as he looked back and Claire shrugged."Unfortunately."She glanced at the huge monstrosity that was their family home and smiled, she did miss it.She groaned as she dragged her purse with her immediately the cab came to a staggering halt in front of the pretty wrought iron gate."Thank you so so much! You are a lifesaver!"She muttered as she handed a couple of hundred dollar bills to the driver as he came out of the car to help her with her luggage.She was late, very late. She could only imagine what her mother and her father would be scolding her about the moment she walked in.How could you be late to your own sister's wedding! Why didn't you arrive a week

"How is that even possible!"Her mother said as she dropped the note."This can't be my Char! Why would she do such a thing??"Claire snatched the note from her mother while her mother stormed out of the room."Mum, Dad, if you're reading this, I've left the country. I don't want to marry Henry, I'm sorry it took me this long to realise it. I love Rhys and we're going to try and start a family here. I promise to be in touch when you have both cooled off."Love Char. Wow!Claire thought as she stared at the note in disbelief. Who would have ever thought? That the perfect Charlotte Branson would elope? And with none other than her parent's Chauffeur.Claire couldn't hold in her laughter anymore, oh it was hilarious!The humiliation her parents would face after throwing such a huge ass wedding only for her

Chapter 3
Claire was quiet.As her hair stylist pulled and plucked and dragged her hair, not the smallest wince came out of her.She didn't react, not that any of her antics would help her out of her current predicament. Unlike Charlotte, Claire did not have the privilege of running away, she still heavily depended on her parents for money and she was aware of how fast she would be caught off if she tried something similar. Charlotte on the other hand, despite her note was more smarter than that, Claire could wager that she had been planning to run away for months and saved up for such emergencies.Everyone went about their business like nothing happened. Like her sister had not eloped and she wasn't the one who was supposed to be getting married.Even her mother went back to her energetic bubbly self, like she had not been freaking out just an hour ago. Everyone was rushing to get dressed as Claire was fitted into Charlotte's dress, w

What a wonderful day it was for an outdoor wedding: warm, but not terribly so, unfortunately the wedding was going to take place indoors. The early May sun peeked out occasionally. A pleasant breeze from the north rustled in the surrounding shrubs and Claire took a sneak peek at the chuch where she was to be married. It was large, intimidating, she thought as she imagined Henry Laurent already waiting for her, just like friends and family alike were already waiting for her.Her father was next to her, he had ridden with her while her maid of honor had preferred to ride with the other bridesmaids. Throughout the entire trip he had been on one phone call or the other, making calls to the press, dictating orders and even talking to the Priest who was to officiate the ceremony."It's time for us to go in Claire."He said as someone opened her side of the car. One of her stylist was still with her, to make sure that everything went on as planned. Sh

Chapter 5
 The reception turned out to be an even bigger deal than Claire had anticipated, she counted about over a thousand guests seated in the large hall. Henry had decided not to speak with her anymore, unless he had no choice but to speak with her. Claire didn't care much for him. If he thought that she was the reason for their current predicament then he was truly stupid, of all the people to blame, he had to blame her.  How much more foolish and insensitive could he be? She thought as she shook her head after glancing at him.  "I'm so glad everything worked out as planned." Her mother whispered in her ear at the reception and Claire rolled her eyes.  Everything didn't work out as planned, she wasn't the one who was supposed to be getting married, Charlotte is! She wanted to scream it out to her mother but then decided to hold her tongue.She had been quiet a

Chapter 6
Claire spent more than half of the flight sleeping off all the acohol that she had during the wedding reception, While Henry worked on his laptop during the better part of the trip. It was strange, how different they both were and how they seemed to just fall into two separate routines. When they arrived at Bora Bora, Henry had gently woken Claire up as they got ready to land. She looked out the window and gasped. Claire, being a travel blogger had surprisingly not been to Bora Bora before, she had thought it overhyped at one point but then looking out the window, she could understand why people were willing to spend a large chunk of their life-savings just to make a trip to Bora Bora. It was really like a little piece of heaven on Earth – she didn't know how else to describe it. Henry seemed to be just as mesmerized but more quiet about it as they both looked out the window.

Chapter 7
The next morning, Henry was awake sooner than he had expected, he had not been able to get a good night's sleep even though his bed was as comfortable as it could be.He walked out of his thatched roof bungalow and immediately saw Claire in the water, she was taking a dive in the clear water. She looked happy and peaceful. It was early, the water must be cold, he thought as he went back in his bungalow to get her a robe.He always knew that Charlotte had a sister but Charlotte rarely mentioned her. In the words of Charlotte, 'Claire's rarely ever home and we're not close.'Charlotte claimed they had a difficult relationship, and had mentioned that she wasn't even sure she was comig to the wedding despite her parents extending an invite to her.When she had walked into the church, Henry had seen her, for the very first time. And while he could see that they looked very similar, Claire was different. Her features were sharper. Her skin was

"Henry..."Charlotte said and Henry nodded. One could see the pain that was in his eyes, it was hard to miss. "I called you so many times, left several messages, the least you could have done was given me an explanation.""I am so sorry?"Henry chuckled."See, that's the thing. I don't know what you're sorry for, for getting caught or for jilting me and leaving me at the altar.""You could have said no, I would have been rational about it, I would have understood. You didn't.""You just kept stringing me along while you had your devious plan in mind.""I'm so sorry Henry, I didn't mean for it to happen this way..."Claire watched uncomfortably, the way he talked, the strain on his face, he had loved her sister. Or still loves her by the looks of it. Was that why he was cold to her? Distant?Seeing her must have reminded him too much of Charlotte. Claire walked away, the conversation was too hard for her to listen,

"Us?""I don't understand."Claire said as she turned to him and he nodded. "I know. I know, but we need to talk about us.""You know the kind of situation we're in. And we both know that we aren't willing particpants to this marriage."Claire nodded."It was either I get married or go broke. I didn't have much of a choice."Henry chuckled and then nodded."We can still live happily together, even with nothing between us."Claire raised her eybrow, she liked the sound of whatever he was suggestuing,But was was he even suggesting?"I am going to need you to elaborate further for me Henry."Henry nodded."I'm just saying, we should make things a little but easier for ourselves. We don't have to force feelings or anything. We can live separate lives while staying married.""Discretely of course."He added and Claire nodded.Hnery gulped hard, it was hard to gauge Claire's reaction when she was giving him

They were back in San Diego. After one more day in Bora Bora they had left the beautiful breathtaking island. Back to real life!Claire thought as they arrived in front of Henry's estate. It was stunning, like most of the houses in Rancho Santa Fe.Someone came to help them with their bags while Henry decided to give Claire a tour of the place."This is stunning."She commended and he nodded as they walked in. "I bought it a few months ago."The house had a kind of sophisticated elegance and welcoming ambience to it that emanated throughout the impeccably maintained and pristine five bedroom residence."Impressive! Did you redecorate?"Henry shook his head."I kept the original design. It has more charm."Well it certainly did, Claire silently agreed. The double doors revealed a two story foyer with impressive chandelier and grand staircase.The living room was dramatic in Claire's opinion, it featured a stately f
