The Game Is Life

When Mia was seven years old, her world was torn apart. After her parents’ bitter divorce, she was forced to live with her father, while her identical twin sister, Nyla, stayed with their mother. From that moment on, Mia became the forgotten child—abandoned by her mother and sister who were supposed to love her too. Eighteen years later, when Mia is struggling through college while caring for her critically ill father, the mother and sister who ignored her existence suddenly return. But their return is far from heartfelt. Desperate to secure an alliance with the powerful Bowen family, Mia’s mother has promised Nyla’s hand in marriage to the enigmatic and cold young master, Adam Bowen. The problem? Nyla doesn’t want to settle down yet. So Mia is given an impossible choice. Her mother secretly hides her sick father and blackmails Mia into taking Nyla’s place at the altar. If Mia agrees to marry Adam Bowen while pretending to be her twin sister, she will be told where her father is being kept. With no way to refuse, Mia steps into a life that was never meant to be hers, playing a dangerous game. Now trapped in a marriage built on lies, Mia must play the role of Nyla flawlessly. One mistake could expose her deception—and Adam Bowen is not a man easily fooled. Cold, powerful, and dangerously perceptive, he begins to suspect that the woman he married is not who she claims to be. As Mia desperately searches for her missing father, the fragile web of lies around her begins to unravel. What will happen when Adam discovers that his bride is nothing more than a substitute? Will he destroy her for the betrayal… or will the truth reveal a bond neither of them expected?

Don’t be stubborn.” Frustration burned through me. “Why would you want me? Didn’t you see what happened with my family? I’m the villain here!” Theodore stepped out, closing the distance. When his fingers brushed mine, I sucked in a sharp breath. He grinned. “Well, in my story, everyone gets a second chance.” His thumb traced my knuckles, eyes playful but intent. “Even the villain.” ------------------------------------------------------- Catalina Rodriguez has always been the black sheep of the wealthy Rodriguez family.

My stepsister falsely accuses me of causing her allergies to act up. My three brothers stuff me into the cramped cellar and chain the door shut. I pound on the door and beg them to let me out. My eldest brother, an outstanding businessman, snaps, "It's bad enough that you keep bullying Lori. How could you make her eat seafood when you know she's allergic to it? Isn't that just murder? Stay in there and reflect on your mistakes!" My second brother, an award-winning singer, and my third brother, a genius painter, scoff contemptuously. "It's unbelievable that someone as evil as you is making excuses to garner pity. You can stay in there and repent for your sins!" After that, they take our shuddering stepsister to the hospital. The oxygen in the cellar soon runs out, and it gets difficult to breathe. Ultimately, I die in there. My brothers only remember me three days later when they bring our stepsister back from the hospital. Unbeknownst to them, I've already died of asphyxiation.
