"What happens when the life you wake to isn't yours?" I woke from a coma with no memory of the past two years, only to be mistaken for my identical twin sister. Now, I am trapped in a Contract marriage with billionaire Damon Stone, a man notorious for his ruthless tactics and merciless behaviour. As I am forced into his luxurious world, I uncover dark secrets, my sister's deceit, Damon's hidden vendetta, and a hidden figure threatening to ruin us all. In a world where truth is scarce, I am forced to wear a mask of lies, and the greatest deception may not be my twin sister's, but the one I hide from myself.
View MoreDressed In DeceptionDAMON’S POVI bring Aria or Ava, or whichever, to my home after her agreement with me.Over the next few hours, Aria and I go through the process of making her as presentable as possible.“You need to make all of this as believable as possible, do you hear?” 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?” Aria 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 supposed Aria and her unending questions. But I know she is my best bet to get my father off my back if I ever want to.It will undoubtedly give me the much-needed time to focus solely on the company and keep the sales numbers at the top.I sti
Chained In SilkAria’s POVThe 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....It was more like he just commanded me to marry him so that he would not lock me up. He must be joking. I look around the room - the beauty, 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 the atrocities of my dubious twin sister - assuming he was not lying about getting swindled by Ava.I look up at his face to see it unhinged, with his jaw clenched. He was totally 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
Chapter Five - Marry MeDamon's POVDoes my father really think losing my title as the CEO of the Stone Corporation would ruin me? I bite back the urge to scoff, suppressing my final retort. Dad rises to his feet, pushing the chair away, and casting one last glance my way. "Three weeks to prove yourself Damon, three weeks." With that, he storms out of the dining room. My stepbrothers and stepmothers begin to mutter to themselves and in an instant, the dining room eventually erupts into a flurry of arguments. I suddenly feel my mother grab me by the wrist and pull me away. We make a stop at a corner close to the stairs.My mother’s eyes widen in alarm as she glares at me. "What the hell was that Damon? What is wrong with you?" She snaps at me. I sigh heavily and shrug, pretending not to understand what is going on. "Nothing is wrong with me, Mum." I mutter.She scoffs and frantically throws her hands in the air. "The way you spoke to your father? You have never done that before. How
Chapter Four - The CEODamon's POVI knew it was fruitless listening to Ava in the first place. When I saw my bodyguard drag her back into the house, his hands were gripped to the collar of her shirt as if she were some deadly criminal. Well, she is a criminal. Ava stole both my money and my heart as well.I asked the bodyguard what happened and he told me that Ava tried to escape. That was enough reason for me to believe that it was truly Ava, although she kept claiming that she was Ava's twin who just woke up from a coma.I shake my head in disdain as I mentally scoff at her. Ava and her stupid schemes. I can not believe I almost fell for her evil scheme again. This time, I do not honestly know what to do with her; for some weird reason, I am reluctant about taking her to prison. Could it be because of the feelings I still have for her?No! I shudder at the thought immediately. I hastily wave off such thoughts and avert my attention to the family dinner. I gaze around, and I notice
Chapter Three - Innocent ConsequencesAria's POVDamon Stone. That name does ring a bell. I know him to be a famous and influential man. What I really do not understand is how Ava got entangled with him. From what I am beginning to understand, Ava pretended to be in love with him and went ahead to steal his money. Lord knows it has to be a fortune to get someone as wealthy as him this riled up.A part of me remains in doubt - she's my sister, after all. It's hard to believe Ava would do such a thing, but then again, why would someone as powerful as Damon Stone lie about her for no reason? What would he stand to gain?"I can see that prison does not scare you. You must have been there a few times." Damon's hoarse voice jolts me out of my thoughts and back to reality. I swallow hard as my eyes remain fixated on the screen of his phone.I immediately shudder at the thought of having to spend my life in prison when I just got out of the hospital. My heart begins to race extremely fast as
Chapter Two - The ArrestAria's POV "Ava?" He slowly approaches me with a confused look plastered on his face. I stagger backwards, feeling slightly uncomfortable at the way he draws closer to me. Something about his presence scares me, maybe it is because of the several men dressed in black that surround him or the way his piercing hazel eyes bore into my soul. I may not know this man at all but one thing I am certain for sure is that he is a very powerful person.He finally freezes in front of me and I can still see the shock in his eyes. Where did Ava meet him? "It really is you." He mumbles, his voice is rough and hoarse. I gulp a lump down my throat and hastily shake my head at him in disagreement. To clear the misconception, I hastily correct him. "My name is not Ava but Aria, I am Ava's twin sister," I mutter. Suddenly I watch his face change entirely from shock to disbelief. He chokes out a bitter laugh and shakes his head at me. I already understand the look of disbelief
Chapter One - AwakeAria's POV "She is awake!”As I slowly open my eyes, fluttering them open, the bright fluorescent light in the corner of the room hits me, the harsh glare of it making me squint. I gulp as a lump catches in my throat, my mind disorientated as several people dressed in white coats rush towards me. The sterile scent of the hospital and the unrelenting beeping machines make my heart race extremely fast. The doctors start murmuring among themselves, whereas my thoughts are fixed solely on urgently escaping this hospital. Resting my weight on my right elbow, I try to sit up, but I feel a sharp pain in my head, causing me to wince in agony and fall back to the pillow.As I lie there, the many faces begin to blur as they run tests and carefully monitor my vital signs. My confusion deepens as I try to make sense of my current situation.Once the medical team confirmed I was stable, a kind-faced woman with a warm smile graces the room, walking in quietly.
