The night was so still that the only sound heard were Eva's fleeing footsteps on cold, concrete pavement. Her heels clicked onto the sidewalk but weren't in perfect rhythm; her body was trembling. Her eyes blurred into tears, trying her best to keep in balance.

"I lost him; I lost everything. " she whispered into the silence of the night.

By the time Eva finally arrived at her parents' mansion, she was tear-blotted, with messed-up hair and mascara streaked down both sides of her cheeks. She was still at the steps to the large house entrance when she faltered, almost flinching as shaking fingers made ringing on the chime echo like cold wind through a silent house. Finally, the huge door groaned to open, presenting her mom, Eleanor Wadsley, draped in silk.

"Eva? What are you doing here at this time?" Eleanor's voice shook in confusion and alarm. She looked her up and down, her mouth parted in alarm. "Good heavens, child, what happened?"

She didn't say a thing but threw herself, sobbing,

    "That son of a bitch!" Richard Wadsley thundered, slinging his briefcase onto the nearest couch. "A complete and utter snake!"Eleanor Wadsley bustled out in a flutter over her husband's sudden entrance from the kitchen, clutching a dishrag in her hand. "Richard? You're back so soon? I thought the trip with Henry was to last for two weeks."He had been pacing the length of the sitting room, like some caged lion; his fists kept clenching and unclenching at his sides. "It was supposed to, but that backstabber made sure to screw it all up." Suddenly he stopped and then turned, his anger and weariness twisting at Helen. “Can you imagine what that so-called friend of mine did?"Richard, stop," Eleanor soothed, making her way over toward him. "Come and let us sit down, talk it over. I am sure that it must be some form of misunderstanding. Henry has ever been-""A misunderstanding?" Richard exploded. His voice drowned out Eleanor's as he continued to yell. "Eleanor, he tried to sabotage our

    "Mr. Shawn," Madam Tess broke the heavy silence in the living room, her voice cautious yet insistent. "You have barely touched your food since morning. This isn't good for you."Shawn Darlington slouched on the couch, his hair disheveled and shirt crumpled as if he had not changed into a new one in days. His unnervingly bright eyes stared at nothing in particular, his empty whiskey glass poised to slip from his dangling hand. The room was dark save the dim light of the television, its sound muted yet seemingly playing over and over the same headline that had haunted him since it broke: "Business Tycoon Shawn Darlington Gets Duped by the Wadsley Twins."His jaw clenched, and in a hoarse, low tone, he growled, "I'm not hungry, Madam Tess. Leave me be."But Madam Tess did not bat an eyelid. She clasped her hands tight in front of her apron, her face clouded in a thick mask of concern. "Sir, I understand you're upset, but shutting yourself up like this won't solve anything.”"Upset?" Shaw

    "Why are you here, Ava?" Shawn's cold, clipped voice finally broke the darkness of the silent living room as he stared at the woman standing in his view. His muscles were tautly coiled as though his fists clenched at his sides held him in a restraint from heaving something or somebody out of his house.Ava fidgeted from foot to foot, and suddenly her eyes were brimming in readiness for all manner of untoward moisture. "Shawn, just please," she ventured softly, shaking at first. "I came to explain what really happened, since I actually wasn't trying to make the matter worse.”"The truth?" Shawn mocked, almost bitter. He moved a step closer to her, his form towering above her. "You are several months too late for that, Ava. You should have said the truth before you and your sister decided to make a fool out of me.""I didn't-" Ava tried saying, but Shawn cut her off.“Save it." His voice cut, the void within him laced with venom. "I don't want to hear another excuse or another lie or an

    "Damn it." Shawn cursed under his breath, clenching tightly onto the steering wheel as he drove down the deserted road leading to his parents' mansion. His father's voice still echoed in his head from the call-cold, commanding, full of anger. when he uses that tone, things are definitely not looking good.Shawn's eyes squinted down. He wondered why he was so angry. Was it the news about his entanglement with the twins? Or was it something else? He wasn't supposed to be back from his business trip with Richard wadsley until next week. Suddenly, he felt a settling in his chest, exhaled with jerk.He shook with frustration by the time he pulled into the mansion, parking the car and stepping out, running a hand through his hair as he went inside.The moment he came in, his mother Diane Darlington was hurrying toward him with her sharp eyes that devoured his features.“Oh, my poor boy… “she whispered, full of concern. She cupped his face, stroking over his cheek. "You look miserable, Shawn

    "Would it have gone otherwise if I told him sooner?”Eva spoke no louder than a whisper, words falling into the room like heavy fog. Sitting on the couch, drawing one knee to her chest, her fingers fidgeted nervously, twitching and twisting in material of the silk throw pillow in front of her. The delicate sunlight creeping through the grand window panes at the Wadsley mansion barely warmed the chill of dread pooling in her chest.Her mother, Eleanor, dropped softly into her seat beside Eva. Leaning forward, she tucked in a stray bit of Eva's dark hair into the hairclip behind the ear. A sympathetic yet very motherly-firm glance greeted Eva's eyes soft with the statement: "He'd still have been hurt, sweetheart. But he'd at least have heard it from you and not through your sister in that degrading manner.”Eva shivered with her breathing. "So either way, I would have been doomed."Her mum struggled to get the words: "You have made a mistake, Eva; instead of drowning in your guilty fee

    It's been a week since the divorce between Shawn and “Ava” was finalized, and the news of Henry Darlington filing a lawsuit against the Wadsley family was spreading like wildfire.Two powerful business allies are at war because of their children. As the media believed. "Mr. Wadsley! Is it true that your daughters hoodwinked Shawn Darlington into marrying the wrong twin.""Did you devise the trick, or are you ignorant about what Eva Wadsley had planned?""How would you counter Henry Darlington's lawsuit filed against your family?"The questions came like hailstones, one after another, as the reporters flocked around the mansion of Wadsley right up to the walls. Cameras clicked on the main gates lined up; above them, yelling journalists wanted nothing but Richard Wadsley.Inside, Richard stood by the window, his fists clenched as he stared out to the circus outside. His face was clouded now by anger. This weight of humiliation fell upon his chest. He was a powerful man of dignity. He

    “I see the Wadsleys have forgotten their manners."The tone of Diane Darlington came like honey, smooth, with derision underlying every word as she folded her arms across her bosom. Disconcertingly discerning eyes darted like sharpened spears into the scenario at the foyer of the mansion belonging to Wadsley: "Not an offer to enter?”The scowl deepened on Richard Wadsley's face, his jaw wrenching, the hands at his sides bunching into fists. He did not want the Darlingtons setting a foot in his house, yet refusing them entry at this very moment would prove his weakness.Eleanor Wadsley detected hostility rearing its head and finally cleared her throat, forcing a smile. "Sorry about that. Please, come on in."She waved her hand at the sitting room, but clutched the doorknob a bit more tightly. Diane smirked at the gesture and said nothing, stepping inside with ease. Henry and Shawn did likewise while Richard walked in stiffly, eyes dark with suspicion.The moment they were all seated, t

    "It's a trap." Eleanor Darlington's voice cut through the heavy silence, cold as an icepick. Her cold gaze, piercing blue, stared deeply into her son. "The Wadsleys are playing you again, Shawn." Shawn was standing before his parents, his eyes unflinching. His mind had already been a battlefield, but his mother's words only made the war inside him worse.“She could be lying about the pregnancy," Eleanor said, crossing her arms. "How can she just pop out of nowhere, telling you she is carrying your child, and you are supposed to accept it just like that because of something that happened once?Does that even make sense?”Shawn blew out a slow breath as the storm continued to churn in his belly.His father, Henry Darlington, spoke for the first time. He had listened silently to everything that was being said. Now, his voice was cold, laced with disgust. "That girl is despicable." He turned to his wife. "Pretending to be her sister just to get into Shawn's bed? That whole family is worse

    The sound of high heels clattering against the marble floor of Shawn Darlington's office was enough to yank him out from the mountainous piles of papers in front of him. He didn't look up. Already exhausted from all he had trudged through relating to the news explosion about the suit, the last thing he wanted was any interruption.“I don't have time for this," he grumbled, turning a page in the contract he was working on. "Whatever it is, schedule an appointment."The steps ceased and paused for a moment. Then, a voice cut through the silence. all soft, all gentle, but with the burden that stiffened his body in place."We need to talk, Shawn."His hold on the pen tightened. His teeth clenched.That voice. Ava or Eva. He couldn't tell who it was. Slowly, he raised his head.“Eva?” She closed her eyes in frustration before opening them again. “Its Ava. You still don't recognise me.” he stood there, no more than a few feet from his desk. Gone was the signature confident stance; in i

    Eva had dressed in disguise to cover up her face to get some medication that she waa required to take, she couldn't risk anyone else finding out about the pregnancy that's why she had to go herself. But her cover was blown as the wind took her scarf away. Some reporters happened to recognise her as one of the Wadsley twins immediately. "Miss Wadsley! Over here!""Is it true that you scammed Shawn Darlington into marriage?""Did your father know about the deception?""Are you sick?"It was as if the questions whirled and slashed, cold knives, tearing the air as the pressmen surged forward toward her, cameras clicking out of control.Eva's heart thundered against her ribs; the walls closed in, under the weight of scrutiny, trapped. Still at the entry of the clinic, they recognized her, because the very next instant she stopped being just any other woman in a mask as the whole press chandelier fell on her, like a bunch of vultures.Alarm clawed at her throat, and instinctively, she tug
