Terrified of the monster she’s let loose, Aria forces Andrea into a deadly swap, using a secret from their past to blackmail her.
On their wedding day Andrea is publicly humiliated when someone finds Alexander being intimate with the daughter of an ambassador. The guests mock and ridicule her for not being able to keep her man. Even though her marriage was a lie she still felt humiliated.
Andrea arrives at the Hawthorne estate expecting tedious chores and slandering.
Instead, she becomes a prisoner in rough sheets and locked doors.

But Andrea isn’t Aria.
She tries hard not to slip or act out of character. But Aria wasn't just a spoilt brat, she had gotten on nerves of many evil people and they want a pound of her flesh.
As Aria's enemies close in on Andrea and the truth threatens to explode, Alexander has to protect the woman he had wanted to badly hurt.
Andrea has to make a choice. Tell Alexander she's not who he thinks she is or let the secret she's kept for years get exposed and face the wrath of her parents and the law.

Chapter: Chapter SixThe cook left the room after we spent almost an hour in silence. Alone, I still didn't feel relieved. The house was filled with people who had every reason to hate the woman they all think I am.Aria had always gotten away with everything, even our parents made sure of that. She didn't face any consequences and had never regretted an action.Being her twin sister had always been torture, people who knew I was her twin back in high school often tried to hurt me to get back to her. She had never cared though, sometimes when she finds out I'm being bullied in her stead, she joins in on the fun as she calls it.But they should be places and times where even the most ruthless villains draw the line, like betraying a man like Alexander Hawkthorne.The more I thought about all I could likely face in the hands of this man, the weaker I got.It's barely forty eight hours and I was almost losing all the fight in me, was I even going to survive this?The question lingered on my mind as I drifted

Chapter: Chapter fiveThe next morning, a sharp tug pried my heavy eyes open. I looked up to see two girls in servant uniforms glaring at me. The sight triggered haunted childhood memories I had tried so hard to forget. "Wake up and take a bath, Princess. You stink," one of them said, her voice like ice. "Shut up, Rose. The boss says we should attend to her needs," the other one said calmly, laying fresh clothes on the bed. "Attend to the needs of a traitor who trapped the cook's daughter in a nightmare for life?" Rose spat, her eyes full of rage. "Rachel's stuck in a psychiatric ward because of this venomous witch, Marie!" The words hit me like a physical blow. What had Aria done? I knew Marie’s calm demeanor was supposed to be a comfort, but she made me even more uneasy than the loud, angry Rose. "He said to attend to her needs," Rose stated. She climbed onto the bed and yanked the covering off my body, leaving me bare and exposed. "He didn't say we couldn't have a little fun while doing it. A

Chapter: Chapter fourAlexander’s grip was rough as he dragged me from the hall. I tried to cover myself with the tattered remnants of my gown, but it was useless. He hauled me into the limousine, the engine roaring like a caged beast, and we sped off before I could catch my breath. By the time we arrived at the Hawthorne estate, my chest was tight. The imposing walls and turrets screamed old money and lethal power. Inside, the white walls gleamed, lined with rare antiques and portraits that seemed to stare right through me. I tried to focus on the art, my usual escape when reality became too loud. This time beauty couldn't mask the fear underneath. He threw open the door to a guest room. It was small. Sterile. Smaller than my own apartment. A pang of disappointment hit me. Even the servants in my father’s mansion had rooms larger than this. “This isn’t your father’s mansion,” he said, his voice a calm. He didn't even look at me as he read my thoughts. “You’re nothing but a slave here.” The

Chapter: Chapter threeChapter three I found a seat a bit far from the guests and sat down. when I saw a waitress passing with drinks I quickly motioned her over and took two glasses off her tray. I think it's better to be drunk on a day like this. I hadn't even taken a sip when I noticed most of the guests were murmuring and staring at me. I placed the glass on the table and folded my hands under my breasts. what now? two women walked past me hand -in-hand snickering, others were just stealing glances at me. I stood up and walked to my mother who was standing in the midst of some middle aged women. What's happening mom?" She took in a deep breath. "nothing to worry about, go seat down." "I won't. not untill I know what's going on." "fine!," she screamed, looking irritated. "Your husband of barely an hour is having sex with the ambassador's daughter as we speak. Are you that plain? your husband has to go running to another woman barely and hour after you got married?" They was a roar of laughter

Chapter: Chapter two I wish I’d run and hidden in the library toilet the moment I saw our massive chauffeur approaching. If I had, I wouldn't be doomed to the fate I have to accept in a few short hours. I stood in my bathroom, staring at a box of hair dye that reeked of chemicals and ammonia. Outside the window, the elderly couple I’d come to see as my true parents were seated on their porch, waiting for the sun to rise. It was their morning ritual; sometimes I waited with them, sharing the peace of the dawn. That quiet life would never be mine again. Staying away from them was the only way to keep them safe from the shadow now falling over me. They noticed me and motioned for me to come over. When I tried to lift my legs, they felt like lead. Tears tracked down my cheeks. How was I supposed to tell them that in a few hours, I’d be someone else? That they’d never be allowed to see me again? No. I’d rather leave like a ghost and hope they remembered to take their medications on time. I turned to

Chapter: Chapter oneTwo days ago Your sister got a bit naughty and unintentionally did something that will get us into trouble with the bratva." I bit my tongue to stop myself from saying something that'll get me into trouble with my father. This wasn't supposed to be my business, they've always kept me out of the family mafia business. I didn't want to get involved in it. "But the bratva is nothing compared to Alexander Hawthorne, the leader of the familia and the man Aria is supposed to be at the altar with on Saturday." Supposed? I've heard that my twin sister's getting married to Alexander Hawthorne, I've never met the man. I've only heard he's deadly and sadistic enough to hang his enemies on spikes but Aria probably doesn't know that or had chosen to ignore it. I wasn't even invited to the wedding, I was working at the local library when the family's chaffeur appeared out of nowhere and told me father had summoned me. "We can't afford a feud with him." I looked around the house.

His ruthless uncle's obsession
On a perfect, sunny afternoon, Rebecca Adam decided to surprise her husband at work. But the surprise was on her. At the front door she discovered there was a "Mrs Adam " already inside. The one the staff knew. not a rumour, not a mistress. a wife.
She bypassed security and overheard a truth that made her blood boil. Adam Saint, the man for whom she had abandoned her social circle and her status as a billionaire’s daughter to play the role of a devoted housewife had never loved her. He was already married to her best friend, Elena, long before their own wedding. Rebecca was only a tool. She had even given him her kidney and almost lost her womb in the process, while they had a daughter that bears her name.
They wanted the Greene empire.
Angry, Rebecca walked away. She stormed into her father’s study and told him she wanted the company.
But soon, tragedy struck. Their most powerful partner, a ruthless widower and Adam’s own uncle, Michael Knox pulled out of the deal, sending her father into a life-threatening collapse.
Now, to save her legacy, Rebecca must face the coldest man in the business world.
Michael Knox expected a blonde spoilt brat. Instead, he met a woman who would do anything to save her family's legacy. Intrigued and dangerously attracted to his nephew's young wife, Michael tried to keep her away.
He instructed his staff to never give her access. Day after day, she waited. Same time, same place. It took a heavy downpour and a moment of raw vulnerability to bring them together, setting off a power struggle that would see Rebecca transform into the most powerful woman in the city. And the only one Michael will burn the world for.

Chapter: Chapter Sixty-Eight“Are you done with your meeting?” I typed the words out quickly, stared at it, then pressed delete and began to type in new words for the third time in less than five minutes.It was already late in the night and quite unusual for Michael to go this long without trying to reach out to me. Not including the time he was being cold towards me though.Did I come off as too clingy and insecure earlier? I was huddled under the fluffy pink duvet in Kate's bed, my mind a sea wave of intrusive thoughts. Have I ruined one of the good things happening in my life right now?“You didn't call back” I typed out next, my thumb hovering over the send button. After a minute, I backed out again. I sounded like a clingy high schooler again. I wanted to sound like a confident, secure and independent woman. To show him that I wasn't just some little girl with daddy issues.My frustration took over and I typed out something unhinged."You're busier than a bee it seems. You should probably extract enough

Chapter: Chapter Sixty-SevenI went back to Kate's house, and after sank down onto one of her favorite leather couches, trying to steady my overly beating heart.I dialed Collin's number.The line rang three times and went straight to voicemail. I let out a low, frustrated sigh and was about to place the phone on the seat when it began ringing.“What's happening now, Collin?” I asked, as soon as I answered the call.“The security have gotten him out of the building and I've told him we'd be pressing charges. Everyone is calm now,”“That's good,” I breathed, closing my eyes for a second. I could already feel a terrible headache.“I don't think this is over yet, Ma’am. He sounded very confident, I don't think the document is all he has,”“That's why I'm hoping the divorce works. If we are divorced, the document would be totally useless in his hands. Give the guards strict orders to never let him into the company ever again,”“Yes, Ma’am,”As soon as the call ended, Adam's call came through. In a haste to clear the

Chapter: Chapter Sixty-SixI didn't know how or why I had let Kate convince me to sext a man like Michael Knox in the first place. The whole thing was supposed to end on the phone, he was supposed to talk dirty enough to make me cum via text. But leave it to him to find a way to manipulate everything and drag me all the way here just to physically touch my clit.Now, I was sitting on a transparent desk that I was terrified of breaking, with his hands firmly placed on either side of my hips.“It was supposed to be just sexting, I wasn't supposed to see you today,” I reminded him, feigning a glare as I looked at his perfect facial features, he might have been a Greek god in his past life. I knew I was lying to myself and we both knew it. My body wouldn't have been content with just sexting, I would have dragged my sex crazed body all the way to the estate eventually.“Not when you're so close,” he murmured, his dark eyes watching my movement.“I wasn't close at all, Mr Knox,” I argued. "I was a mile away from y

Chapter: Chapter Sixty-FiveMichael Knox I knew there was something wrong, something very wrong with her lawyer. The defensive, mixed signals could only mean one thing. She was either being threatened, blackmailed, or just being greedy.Right now, my sweet, stubborn Rebecca still hadn't realized the danger she was in. She was playing a dangerous game she had no indepth knowledge of.My brother can be a very dangerous psychopath. A gold digger who would do anything to get his filthy hands on gold no matter how much blood gets spilled in the process.The biggest mistake Greene ever made was becoming his acquaintance.As soon as I stepped into the estate, Ralph and Marcella fell into step behind me. We walked into the house in silence. I sat down on one of the leather seats before I stared at both of them.“I’ll be relieving you of your duties Mar…”“No, please no,” Marcella begged, getting on her knees immediately. “If this is about going against your orders a month ago regarding Rebecca, I'm sorry and it won't

Chapter: Chapter Sixty-FourWe landed, and we were quickly guided into a waiting convoy by four men dressed in black. As I watched them secure the perimeter like military personnel, I felt like some kind of princess in a Mafia movie.As soon as we settled into the car, Michael handed me a fixed version of my broken phone. I smiled and shook my head before turning the phone on. Collin’s call came in almost immediately on my new phone, and I resisted the urge to groan before answering.“Good morning, Ma’am,” he greeted.“Morning, Collins. How're you doing?”“I'm good, but the company isn't,”I sighed. It must be the whole Adam issue. “What's happening?”“A man…your hus… sorry, a Mr. Adam is here and he wants to see you,” he whispered. I could hear shuffling sounds in the background as if he was shoving things inside a cupboard. “He said he's the rightful owner of the company and he has legal documents to prove it,”I gripped the phone tightly, my knuckles almost turning white. “Collins, why the hell didn't you tel

Chapter: Chapter Sixty-ThreeI was physically panicking, why have I never thought of that?My father had promised to hand the company over to him, and as a man who kept to his words, he had already begun to go through with it before I asked him not to. But how on earth did Adam get his hands on that document?As I sat on the seat on the jet, many questions began to flood my mind. Where was I even supposed to begin? I have come a long way, but that legal document held more weight than words from my father that weren't heard by anyone else but me. How would I ever be able to convince everyone that my father had handed the company over to me before he slipped into a coma, when Adam held legal papers with his name on it?I glanced towards the back of the private jet to find Michael engulfed in a serious conversation with a man that looked like his lawyer. The moment Michael glanced at me, I quickly averted my gaze.This was all my fault. Maybe if I had been serious enough to think of everything at once, I would have
