When Love is tangled around a web of lies. Who can be trusted? Eva Wadsley has lived in the shadow of her glamorous twin sister Ava her whole life. So, when Ava's boyfriend Shawn proposes and Ava flees the country on the wedding day, Eva seizes her one chance at happiness-marrying the man she's secretly fallen in love with. There's a catch: Shawn believes he married the bold, business-savvy Ava, and Eva's terrified the truth will destroy everything. In a clash where love is put against betrayal, will Eva's truth be enough to cling to the man she loves, or will Ava's return unravel all that Eva has risked her heart to build?
View MoreRichard Wadsley paced the living room, with his fist clenched and, his voice booming throughout the mansion, "Why isn't there any damn answer yet? " Flush with anger, he glared at the detective who stood uncomfortably.“Mr Wadsley, the CCTV from Wadsleys Jewels was damaged. Both the cameras inside Eva's office and leading to it were turned off. Someone obviously understood what they were doing. " The detective explained.Richard sneered, his jaws clamped tight. “Someone tried to murder my daughter, and we don't have even one hint? " The detective’s eyes went down. “We are trying to look for alternative methods to get the culprit. maybe…” "Get out! " Richard snapped.“Mr Wadsley?’’ The detective was caught off guard.Richard Wadsley glared at him and growled. “I dont want to see you, if you dont have anything tangible. Please leave.” The man gave a curt nod, and said. “We’ll do our best sir.” Before turning to leave. Eva was lying on the couch, with hetr hands resting on her stom
Apart from the faint beep of the heart monitor, the hospital room was eerily quiet. Sitting in the chair next Eva's bed, Shawn watched her weak body resting against the white hospital sheets his fingers interlocked. Though the steady rise and fall of her chest comforted him, it did not lighten the suffocating weight of emotions he felt. He had been sitting there for hours, waiting for her to wake up, waiting for a solution. The doctor had told him that she'll regain consciousness soon. Eleanor had left a few moments ago telling him that she had to make food for Eva when she woke up. She thanked him for staying beside her. He was lost in the memories of the past they shared together, the betrayal, lies and the pain of their divorce. The news of her pregnancy was the shock of it all. Resting his elbows on his knees, he sighed deeply and his fingers twitched. Since Ryan laid everything out, his head has been spinning with questions. ‘Why didn't she tell me?’He ought to have realized

Ava's eyes were filled with fury as she walked completely into the apartment; she still couldn't believe what was before her eyes. Startled by the unexpected interruption, Samantha jumped from the sofa. It was irritation rather than fear that swished over her face; she knew Ava would come screaming at her door, sooner or later. Ava took a deep breath. “What is Norman Darlington doing here?” Her eyes returned to Samantha, mock screaming on her like a tidal wave. "Sam, I asked what is going on here?” Crossing her legs and sitting back against the couch, Samantha smirked. "I was wondering how long it would take you to solve it.” She said smoothly.Ava clenches her fists. "You have been working together?” Samantha breathed out deeply, head tilted. “Why else would he be here? Quit asking obvious questions Ava, you look stupid.” A wave of sickness swept Ava. She trusted Samantha. They've been best friends since middle school. Samantha made her believe she was helping her and was the o
Shawn drove behind his parent's car as they drove into the parking space of their mansion. He knew his father was trying to keep his cool and not cause a scene in front of the Wadsleys when they almost lost their daughter. His father went in without waiting for him. Shawn took a deep breath before walking in to face his father. “Shawn, what in the world is happening? What was all that?” Henry Darlington asked with barely contained anger. Shawn tried to speak and calm his father down, but unfortunately, he had no words. He understood what his father felt, but he also felt the same way and didn't understand the mess he just got into. His thoughts replayed the doctor's words and Ryan's words. ‘Eva was truly pregnant, and it was his.And now his father is paranoid and angry about the fact that both twins are pregnant with his child. Shawn shrugged wearily. How exactly was he supposed to deal with this? He thought finding Eva unconscious in her office was worse until the doctor co
With clenched fists, Shawn strolled the space by the window. He wasn't saying much, he just wanted Eva to regain consciousness. She still has a lot to answer for, but the memories of how he found her almost lifeless on the floor made his heart sink. Ava went to sit and was stiff in the chair, hands shaking and rolled into fists in her lap. Ryan stood with his back against the wall, his mask like face dull, but the jaw clenched spoke volumes. Richard Wadsley and Eleanor Wadsley were seated together, their distorted heads twisted with horror and fury. Daine Darlington and Henry Darlington sat quietly, their red eyes flicking every which way. Eleanor shot from the chair, her voice quivering on the razor's ranks, "Doctor, what's the update now. How's my daughter?” Richard's deep voice asked, "Is she awake?" The doctor scanned the room. "Are you all the patient's family?” Shawn glared. "Why does any of this matter? Tell us what happened to her.” The doctor stopped and then gave a no
Chapter 147"Ryan? You knew Eva was pregnant? How long have you known and hid it from us?”Eleanor Wadsley's trembling voice sliced through the strained silence of the waiting room Her usually gentle eyes now blazed with outrage, her fists clenched by her side as she moved a few steps closer to Ryan, who was standing beside shawn.Richard Wadsley beat his wife to it as he already towered over Ryan with his intimidating frame and controlled anger. “How long have you been hiding this from us?” Ryan swallowed, his legs trembling in his pants. “Uncle Richard I…I didnt mean to.” Ryan knew this day was coming but he handnt expected it to come so soon, yet he knew in the depths of his gut that there was no escape from this, he had to face it. Eva had made him promise to keep this secret and now he was facing the wrath of her parents alone."Ryan, I asked you a question," Richard snarled, pursed-tip voice full of contained fury.Ryan exhaled slowly. There was no escaping this. He met his un
"Move! " Pushing beyond the whisper of the staff, Shawn cradled Eva's unconscious form in his embrace. As he stormed out of the office with his heart pounding loudly as if it was going to pop out of his chest. Ava hurried next him, barely matching his long steps. She screamed, voice unsure and trembling, "Is she breathing?" Shawn gritted out, "Yes, but it's shallow," his grip on Eva tightened as he adjusted her body in his arms. "We have to get her to the hospital quickly.” The whole floor seemed to freeze as soon as they hit the lobby. With Shawn Darlington carrying their unconscious design team manager the employees stopped in surprise and wide eyes. "What's going on? He's carrying his ex-wife while he's dating her twin sister. "Did something happen to her?” Shawn didn't care about the murmurs, he continued walking towards the entrance. However, a sharp, commanding voice sliced through the air just as he approached the glass doors. "What on earth is going on here?" Shawn
“Pick up the damn phone, Shawn.”Ryan swore, pacing beside his car as he dialed Shawn contact perhaps the tenth time that day.But it keeps ringing without an answer. He got back into his car and glared at the screen before he sent him a text.Ryan: Call me. It's an emergency.Several minutes went by and he was still not calling him back.Ryan clenched his teeth. He'd known Shawn wouldn't be some laid-back type of individual, but this was more important than whatever he was busy with. His thumbs hovered above the phone screen as a plan formed in his head. It was insane, manipulative to say the least, but desperate men do desperate things and this was a desperate moment for him.He smiled when he sent another text message.Ryan: Eva tried to commit suicide. She's in the ER at the state hospital.He knew Shawn wouldn't be able to ignore that message. **********Ryan was crouched over his car in the hospital car park, arms crossed frowning at the door like a hawk. He did not have to
"Please, Eva. Just this once. I need you to go." Ava leaned against the doorframe, eyes pleading she clasped her hands together. "It'll be easy, just like always.”Eva stared at her twin sister, her belly twisting. "I don't know, Ava," she muttered. "This... it's getting out of hand. He still doesn't know it's me, and every time I go, I feel like I'm lying to him.”Ava waved a hand dismissively. "You really are worrying too much. Shawn's practically into me already, there's no risk. Besides," she added, grinning, "you've been having fun, haven't you? Getting out of the house, meeting people, finally enjoying yourself a bit?"“It's not that simple," Eva said, refusing to look at her sister. Fun? Each date with Shawn had left her exhilarated, yet guilty, a feeling she could not tease apart. She knew she was enjoying his company far too much, more than she could admit to herself. But what was also more difficult was pretending to be Ava night after night. "What if he finds out?”"He won'...
