I saved Ethan's life when we were children but he always believed it was my younger sister who rescued him. From that day on he loved her. Then everything changed. After an accident left my sister unable to walk everyone blamed me for what happened even Ethan. Before long, my sister disappeared without a trace leaving me alone to carry the guilt and hatred. Because my sister and I look almost identical... Ethan drunk and broken mistook me for her one night. By the time he realized the truth it was too late as he forced me into a marriage swearing he would make me suffer for ruining the woman he loved. For years I lived beside a man who despised me. Then my sister came back healthy and beautiful and determined to take Ethan away from me. She demanded a divorce and Ethan didn’t stop her. I walked away with nothing except the divorce papers in my hand and the secret I carried. While they built the life they wanted I built myself from nothing. Years later, I returned as the owner of a powerful company no longer the weak woman they once knew. That was when Ethan finally discovered the truth. I had been the one who saved him all those years not my sister. But now the question remains… Can love survive betrayal, lies and a lifetime of secrets?

My sister was the golden child, the pride of our family, but she had a rare blood disorder that required treatments costing thousands every month. To keep her alive, I became her personal blood donor, working nonstop to pay for her care and delivering food all day and night. But one day, she nearly died from hemorrhaging after trying to abort a pregnancy. That’s when I learned the child she was carrying belonged to my boyfriend. When I confronted him, he didn’t even flinch. Instead, he dragged me to the operating table himself. “You were born to be her blood bank. Dying for her? It’s the best thing you’ll ever do.” I was left there, bleeding out, my life slipping away with every drop. But as death closed in, something changed. The people who once hoped I’d disappear—the ones who used me, betrayed me—they all began to unravel, losing their insanity.

The day the Family divided up its businesses changed everything. Everyone crowded around my twin sister, helping her choose. My brother had his eye on the port operation in Cagliari. "Of course we should go to Cagliari first. I've got a club there too, so I can help you out." Umberto offered her control of his medical network. "Come into healthcare with me. I'll show you the ropes, and within two years we'll have the Family's money running through legitimate businesses." They argued back and forth until our parents laughed at the scene. "Beth, with them helping you, we can rest easy. Handing the Family's affairs over to you is the perfect fit." I stood off to the side, watching, my fists clenched. No one seemed to notice that my sister and I had both just finished our studies abroad. Umberto walked over and ruffled my hair. "Adele, you still have a lot to learn. Once Beth has made her choice, just follow along with us." My brother added casually, "Just find any job that pays the bills. Leave the Family business to us." I said nothing. My heart was pounding. It had always been this way. Even when we were little and candy was handed out, my sister always got the biggest, brightest piece. My brother unwrapped it for her, and Umberto raced to pop it into her mouth. I was the one to throw away the wrapper. I never even got a crumb. I should have been used to it by now. Since none of them cared about me, I wasn't going to play their game anymore. I booked a flight to the farthest place I could find. From that day on, we were strangers. As if we had never known each other.
