Shadow Heiress
From the moment Juno Genovese could understand right from wrong, her life was a shadowed existence. Born into the great Genovese dynasty as a twin, she was deemed unimportant, her existence measured solely in service to her younger brother's life and future. Her identity, forged to masquerade as her brother, living as his perfect stand-in, preparing him for his eventual rise as the 'heir' to their family's empire.
But fate had other plans.
A sudden attack ravaged the world she had known, the walls of the carefully constructed world her parents thrust her into, came crumbling around her. Torn from the hands of her family and thrust into a life-changing situation. Mistaken for the heir apparent, Juno found herself in the clutches of Vito Costello, the enigmatic and fiercely intelligent heir to the rival Costello Conglomerate.
Trapped in a web of intrigue and danger, Juno found herself deciding between loyalty to her family and the irresistible pull of a forbidden connection with Vito.
And as her bond with Vito deepened, Juno discovered not only her own strength and stability, but also the murky depths of the world she had been thrust into. Betrayal lurked in every corner, secrets whispered like poison, and the thin line between ally and foe blurred more each day.
In this immersing tale of deception, hearts, and redemption, Juno Genovese takes the highway as she fights for her freedom, identity, and finally, her own future.

Chapter: Chapter 51 - HopeWaiting anxiously, I watched as he walked towards me leaning down slowly and giving me a soft kiss on the lips."Babe, don't say things like that while naked. You're a temptation in disguise and I'm easily provoked" he said and I found myself deadpanning at him"You're just silly," I said relieved as Vito stood up straight, stripping off his clothes. I quickly averted my eyes and kept them trained on my hands as he did so because I didn't want to seem like I was prying too much and soon enough, Vito got in behind me, which made my cheeks flush with color.We settled in, it felt good relaxing on his brick of a chest with just a comfortable silence, the two of us in our little world until I broke it."I…I saw Dion earlier today" I said and I could feel Vito stiffen up behind me."What?" He asked, surprise in his tone and I took a moment to find my words before continuing."He was...in some kind of weird situation and for whatever reason, I don't know why but I helped him out," I said."

Chapter: Chapter 50 - Warmth“Stop…giving me that look,” I asked Vito who didn’t stop staring“What look? I promised I was going to get you warm” he said smiling and went back down for some more kisses.After a while, my body suddenly hinted that it needed oxygen and it needed it soon so I broke from the kiss to catch some. Vito however didn't seem to need any as his lips met my neck, kissing and sucking the skin as he pleased. He would suck on a particular spot before licking it and doing the same to different areasI felt his warm palm rub against my stomach and rub his way over my breast, he slipped his hand under me to unclasp my brassiere, and using his other hand he took my nipple in between his fingers rubbing away“Aah…Vi..Vito'' I moaned unashamedly. Why did that feel so good? He continued rubbing the bud between his fingers and a feeling that I wasn't accustomed to surged within me.I knew what it was from how my lower region began to itch and as if on cue, he brought his mouth down on my other nipple s

Chapter: Chapter 49 - TeaseNavigating through my day at work was tiring, of course, I got there late which I hated and I couldn’t focus much because of how my day started. The one time I decided to walk to work, well that's the last time I'm ever doing that. Seeing Dion, really just ruined my whole day.It was still so unbelievable because what are the chances that that had happened just as I was passing by? I did contemplate helping him though but seeing how pathetic Dion looked made me feel some type of way and ruled out any negative thoughts I had about him in that moment.He was still my blood regardless.Letting out a sigh, I knew I didn't want to think about it all anymore but our argument kept bothering me. The way Dion seemed ignorant about how our lives had turned out, or was he just pretending? Or was he playing some type of card game trying to convince himself that he didn’t have a hand in all this? One way or the other he had a large role to play and although I didn’t blame him entirely, maybe I jus

Chapter: Chapter 48 - Realizations^^DION’S POV continued^^“Shut up, we need to get out of here before the cops show up” Juno yelled back at me as she almost nearly crashed into another parked car as we made our way out of the narrow route.“Focus on driving then” I screamed out at her again“I can’t drive and neither can you” she gritted out after finding a safe place for us to get off. And besides, if there was anything else we had in common aside from our looks we could not drive.We weren’t just cut out for it.“Can you at least untie me?” I asked and Juno sighed before grabbing her knife from her boots and cutting me loose. I looked around in the vehicle for any piece of clothing to wipe my face clean from the stains of blood from earlier, and then we both stepped out with me walking behind her.“Aren’t you supposed to be with security? How did you manage to get in their hands?” she asked suddenly breaking the silence“Was just in the area, strolling, or am I not old enough to do so” I lashed out and Juno sighed

Chapter: Chapter 47 - Chance Meeting^^DION’S POV^^In the situation I was currently in, never have I ever wished for my sister to be here more than I do right now.I know I treated her terribly at some point and said some mean stuff but c’mon, siblings tend to fight all the time and they settle. It’s not like I’ve ever wished her bad, things were just the way they were because of the household we found ourselves in.“You sickos…let go of me!" I yelled as I struggled against the men carrying me away.I was taking a stroll when suddenly I was cornered into some lonely street by a black van and some guys rushed out surrounding me. I was about to be taken captive again.This was the second time this had happened to me since Juno my sister absconded to be with the Costellos’. I mean this misfortune wouldn't be going on right now if she hadn't left in the first place.Right from when we were little, the both of us never really got along, we were more or less like two sides of a coin. We were attached of course as twins but we

Chapter: Chapter 46 - Red Flags ^^VITO’S POV^^Waking up with a start, I had expected to be alone by this time because Juno might have woken up but to my surprise, she was still cuddled up in my arms, sleeping soundly. I didn't plan to sleep here, I remember sitting in the living room, waiting for her to get home from work but instead received a message from her saying she wanted to stay back for a while, so I felt it would be better if I stayed in her room and waited. But instead, I slept off. Taking a glance at the clock on the stand, although the moon was still evident illuminating the room, it was almost time for Juno to wake up. Taking in her features, I admired her long lashes, and her gentle face as she snoozed away. Despite all the changes made to her for this new mission, I could still see her old self right there, like back when we first met, I remembered finding her too graceful for a boy. Thinking back now, seeing Juno and Dion, the differences were glaring. For starters, the face, the eyes, Juno alw
