What happens when the life you wake to isn't yours? Aria Williams wakes from a coma to find out she’s been mistaken for her identical twin, Ava, and trapped in a contract marriage to the merciless billionaire Damon Stone. Convinced she's the woman who swindled him out of his finances and trust, Damon is determined to make Aria’s life a living hell. As a perilous game of revenge, passion, and secrecy unfolds, Aria must walk a thin line where love and hate blur, and ultimately face the truth: the greatest deception is not her twin sister's, but the one she hides from herself.

Chapter 1 - Awake

Aria It’s loud. Too loud. It sounds too far away and near at the same time. I squint my eyes open and close them back immediately. Too bright! I try again—slowly this time—and adjust my eyes to the bright light. I take in my surroundings. The white ceiling is filled with bright fluorescent light right above me, and my bedside is filled with machines and monitors plugged into my body on my right. I look to my left and — Is that a person? Standing with his hands in the pockets of his three-piece suit, while facing the window, his broad back fills most of the window overlooking the hospital view. The rays of the sunshine on his hair make it a colour blend of salt and pepper. It looks messy, like it’s been run through several times. He certainly looks attractive from the back. Who’s that? I try to make out how familiar that build is from the back. It’s not. As if he read my thoughts, he turns around and meets my eyes. “You’re awake.” His face remains expressionless as he stalks t...

Chapter 2 - Freedom's Call
Aria My eyes open to darkness. I bolt up from the single bed I’m placed on and get hit with dizziness and a sharp pain in my head again. I lay back on the bed and try to adjust my eyes to the darkness, confusion still fogging my brain. There was absolute darkness, save for the ray of moonlight flooding the room through the tiny window left open by the upper side of the wall. The memories of today hit me; waking up, seeing Damon, getting dragged out of the hospital... It wasn’t a dream. Tears well up in my eyes as I shut them tightly as if to make this nightmare go away. I wish it would. Then I wouldn’t find myself in this hell. I wouldn’t have to face that bastard again. As if my thoughts conjure him, I hear the door creak open and reveal the silhouette of the devil himself. He’s still dressed in that attire from earlier, except the tie and suit are gone. I notice his white shirt glistening in the dark room. I shut my eyes and try to pretend like I’m asleep, ignoring the heavy t

Chapter 3 - A Rough Awakening
Aria A soft knock wakes me from my sleep. Bolting up from the bed, I take a look around, trying to remember where I am. Oh! Trapped. “Who’s there?” I answer groggily. All thanks to someone, I didn’t get enough sleep. I know it’s not Damon. Grumpy isn't that courteous. “Come in.” A petite and pretty lady comes in with her head bowed. She looks very young. Maybe a few years younger than I am. She stalks towards the table in the room and drops a bag on it. “Good morning, miss. Master Damon asked me to drop this off for you,” she said in a soft voice. “Oh, thank you.” I smile warmly at her. Her head remains bowed. “Not a problem, miss,” she turns to leave. I stand up from the bed and take a proper look at the room I’ve been in since yesterday. It’s beautiful. It turns out that there’s a curtain covering a window. I wonder why I didn’t see that yesterday. But then, I never really looked around. I walk towards the curtains and open them wide. “Oh my God!” I gasp. It’s a flo

Chapter 4 - A Repeat Performance
Damon “Hey, get back here!”“Get the fuck down from that car and get her!” My head snaps up from my laptop; that’s Leo’s voice. I have a sinking feeling that his shouts have to do with Ava. Not again. True to my thoughts, I catch sight of her long hair dancing behind her as she runs as fast as her legs can carry her. I bark out a bitter laugh. How could I be so stupid as to believe her again? I should have known this was just another way for her to wiggle her way out of the mess she created. Typical Ava. “Start the car and follow her!” I bark at Mark, my driver, who starts the car immediately and speeds off in the direction I saw her run. The car catches up with her in no time and slows right beside her. “Get in the car while I’m being nice,” I say with a calmness I don’t feel. She pretends like she can’t hear me and picks up her pace instead. Damn, for someone who just woke up from a coma, she’s fucking fast. “Step on the gas and block her way,” I tell Mark. I’m so done

Chapter 5 - Tethered
Damon “There’s my baby!” I hear my Mother's voice the moment I enter the mansion. She rushes towards me and wraps me in a tight hug. “Hey, mum,” I return her hug, planting a peck on her cheek. “As fine as a mum can be when her son doesn’t check up on her,” she gives me a disapproving look. “If someone hears you, they would never believe we spoke on the phone yesterday, Mum,” I utter dryly. She’s so dramatic. “I was the one who called you, remember? And that’s even because of the dinner,” she sighs dramatically, “I just wish I could see my son more.” I stifle a groan. There she goes again with the emotional blackmail. I know the next thing that'll come out of her mouth. As if on cue, she says, "Why don’t you move back in? It’s just me in this big mansion! I’m surrounded by vultures. Do you want me to die alone with nobody who loves me by my side?” “Mum, I told you that’s not possible. I can’t move back here,” I roll my eyes at her dramatic words, “and you are just 50, you are

Chapter 6 - Chained In Silk
Aria The air is so tense that a knife could cut through it. I stare at Damon in disbelief. I can’t believe he just uttered the words I think I just heard. I take a step back before doubling over and letting out a burst of laughter that seems to aggravate Damon further. I can’t believe he just told me, no.... He just commanded me to marry him. He must be joking. I look around the room - the beauty appears so fleeting. To any other person, this place would seem luxurious, but all I could see was a gilded cage. It was a prison that I was stuck in for nothing, totally unable to escape from. All because of Ava, assuming he wasn't lying about getting swindled. I look up at his face to see it unhinged, with his jaw clenched. He was serious, deadly serious about this. My laugh dies down. He was serious. He couldn't possibly be serious. “This has got to be some sort of joke. Point me to the cameras, please,” I say, looking around in disbelief. “I believe, at this point, you would

Chapter 7 - Dressed In Deception
DamonI bring Ava to my home after our agreement and we spend hours going through the process of making her as presentable as possible.“You need to make all of this as believable as possible, alright?” I emphasize as I make Aria go over thousands of different outfits.“Why is this so important anyway? I mean, why are you so hell-bent on getting married so soon? And why me?” Ava grumbles.She looks exhausted from having to try on a million different outfits.I have a few women come over to the house, bringing rack after rack of expensive outfits.I'm sure she has no idea how much they cost me.“You need to look the part,” I emphasize.I’m getting tired of dealing with her unending questions. But I know she's my best bet to get Father off my back.It will undoubtedly give me the much-needed time to focus solely on the company and keep the sales numbers at the top.I still can't understand why, all of a sudden, the paparazzi’s focus has shifted from my sales numbers and stock prices to m

Chapter 8 - Dinner, Drama, and Dysfunction
DamonIt was time for dinner, and as usual, every single one in the family was seated around the large dining table. Usually, I would avoid our family dinner and just hook myself up with a quiet meal, after which I would retire to my office. But today, especially with the events of the day before, I was certain that I wasn’t getting any peace.Unfortunately for them, though, I'm prepared for every one of them tonight.Knowing my mum, I bet she was on the brink of announcing that I would be bringing home a wife soon.I'll soon be married. It all still feels new and unreal, but weirdly, I'm not put off in any way. I had always dreaded marriage- real or fake, but for some reason, there was a sense of calm in me. I slowly make my way over to the dining table, and as usual, I take my seat directly opposite my mother. Strangely, they wait for all the seats to be filled. We've always, always been a one-man squad type of family. We'd come in, exchange very curt pleasantries, eat together o

Chapter 9 - Bows On Lies
DamonThe dining remained quiet for a while as the sound of cutlery clinking on porcelain filled the atmosphere.“So, Damon…” Father starts, his voice towering over the loud sound of the cutlery. I suck my breath in, releasing an audible sigh.He has only just arrived. It wouldn't be bad to give Damon a break. He's just like the rest of them.Birds of a feather.“Yes, father,” I answer, raising my head to look at him. “Your mother just told me you’ve found a lady you intend to wed,” He said. In an instant, all eyes were on me. Grace and her minions stare in shock with their faces laced in utter disbelief.“Yes, father. I have,” I answer flatly, bringing food to my mouth. I notice my plate is almost empty and reach out for more. “That’s right. Our son is about to get married,” Mother chips in with a triumphant smile.She was beaming, her pride visible in the way that she sat straight in her chair and adjusted her sequined dress.I shake my head softly.She always enjoyed being the

Chapter 10 - Curated Lies
AriaThe days that followed were filled with a lot of modifications.“You need to look the part,” Damon would often remind me. It was upsetting, to say the least.“It’s either you suck it up and stop whining, or I can simply make the rest of your life a living hell, Aria,” he warned with a knowing smirk.I mentally applauded myself for having kept it together for this long.“Stop asking me silly questions and just do as I say.”Oh, how he could be insufferable.I was utterly exhausted by him. Yet, despite my efforts, there was nothing I could do to change my situation — no matter what I did or said, Damon was convinced I was someone else.Speaking of which, I still found it peculiar and somewhat suspicious that she never mentioned she was a twin, nor did she ever introduce him to me, or vice versa.Today, however, was different. For the first time, we were going out.Damon had arrived earlier with an entourage of stylists and makeup artists.He had arranged for me to be dressed accord
