Yulia's eyes widened in surprise as she found Roxie standing seven feet away from her. Something was not right; she had seen Alexander hold Roxie's head in his hand.Alessandro also looked astonished to see Roxie there.“Hello Yulia, How have you been?” She waved her hand. “It has been a while.”Raising a brow, Yulia tried not to show any expression. “I am good. How have you been? I haven't heard from you for a long time.”“Yeah.” She flashed a bright smile at Yulia. “Aren't we friends?”Yulia rubbed her temples in confusion; she had no idea what Roxie was talking about. She was sure that Roxie was dead; perhaps Roxie has a twin, and her sister has been pretending to be her since Roxie went missing.“We are.” Yulia returned the smile. “Why are you here?”Fidgeting with her fingers, Roxie peered at her. "Well, I came here to congratulate you on your engagement and help you with it.”“Thank you.” A slight frown appeared on her face. “It would be nice if you helped me.”Since she had no
Mr. Gareth rubbed his temples and sighed. “He couldn't even spare his brother when it came to picking a woman. He lets Alexander pick and then wants to snatch her away.”“What are we going to do? Yulia inquired as she tried not to laugh at how funny everything was to her.It was weird that the grandpa had no idea that he had three grandsons. Yulia couldn't wait for Alexander to come as Dante and see how they were going to tolerate each other.It was going to be fun to watch Alexander get hit by his grandpa. A mischievous grin appeared on her face as she pictured it in her head.“You will have to ignore him when he comes.” Mr. Gareth muttered. “You have been engaged to Alexander, haven't you?”Nodding her head, a serious look appeared on her face. “Yes, Alexander proposed, and I accepted.”“You like Alexander, don't you?"She shook her head. “Yes.”“You want to get married to him, right?”“Yes.”“Have you met Dante?”“Yes, he was my crush back at college.”Mr. Gareth's eyes widened in
The reaction Roxie gave made Mr. Gareth's head snap to look at her. He raised a brow at her and glared at her. Roxie's eyes met his, and then her legs felt jelly at the look he was giving her.“Roxie, didn't I make it clear that you are not allowed to talk about that anymore? If I remember, you have already been dismissed.” Mr. Gareth said. “You should go back home now.”“What?” Roxie's eyes widened. “How is that possible? You told me that I was going to get married to Alexander.” She had a fake reaction on her face. “Was that all a lie?”Yulia forced herself not to puke at the fake reaction that was on Roxie's face. She looked disgusted; she hadn't expected Roxie's sister to want to take her place.Was Alexander that attractive?Glancing at Roxie, she could see that Roxie was not scared of Dante. Why was that even possible?Alexander, on the other hand, waited for his grandfather to say something. He had an odd feeling about another Roxie suddenly appearing after the other one was go
Alessandro waited for Yulia until she was walking next to him. She raised her hand to stare at the ring that Alexander had slipped into her hand.It was a golden and diamond ring; it sparkled as she raised it up, and the sunlight shone on it.“It's pretty.” She muttered as she brought it to her lips and kissed it.Alessandro turned his head to look at her. “I thought that you were here to console me."She shook her head and pouted. “I wanted an opportunity to hear from the company. My ex-sister and her mother are still at the company, and I know that they are trying to make me go bankrupt. I already sent Y over previously, but I already fired him. I am not sure that he would go.”A frown appeared on his face. “You want me to go with you so you can deal with them.”“Exactly, you are smart."Alessandro thought about it for a while. “Since you need help with your mother's company, why don't I help you? I can work for you, and we will take care of the company together.”Yulia was taken ab
Just when she thought she had nothing else to do. Yulia glanced at Alessandro to see if he had an idea of how to get away from the situation.From that look in his eyes, she could tell that he was going to solve it with violence, so she looked away from him.“Are you backing away from the bet?” The same lady asked. “You said you were going to chop off your fingers; we don't see you doing it.”Yulia turned her head to glare at the woman. “I didn't say I wasn't going to do it, but you haven't won yet.”The ladies scowled at her, but before they could say any more words, The sound of running footsteps was heard, and everyone's head snapped in the direction to find Elia running towards them.Elia came sprinting towards her and fell on her feet. “Sister! I was wrong; I should have never lied to everyone that I was the legitimate daughter.” Tears trickled down her face as he pleaded. “I was only being childish; I have made your life miserable since we were kids. I was jealous of you because
Her left hand flew to her lips in surprise. “What do you mean the cat is dead? That was the only woman who didn't like you.”“You think so?” Alexander inquired, raising a brow at her. “She let me rub her this morning.”Yulia frowned at him. “I thought that you said that she was dead.”His lips curled upward, forming a mischievous smirk. “Well, she isn't dead.”She swung her left arm, the impact landing squarely on his chest. He giggled as her hand collided with his chest.“How could you lie to me?" She demanded, relief washing through her, that her cat was safe.“I was only joking with you.” He muttered before bending over and scooping her into his arms. “Let's go home. I want you to help me with something.”“I just came to work.” She grumbled. “I haven't done anything.”He peered at her. “Yeah, well, I heard you fired Y.”Pouting, she replied. “He is always giving information about me to you. I am sure that he told you that I got him fired too.”He glanced at her instead of replying.
Her eyes darted, and she waved her head, refusing to believe what he said. “My mother was long dead; are you sure it is her?”She had been told that her mother was dead and that her family had done a funeral for her. She doubted that Alexander saw the real person.Alexander pinched the bridge in between his noses. He was sure of what he was saying, although it sounded sudden. In the morning, after he had woken up, he got a call from one of the ladies from the mafia.After going back to the base to meet them and having a meeting, He finally concluded that the woman in the picture of one of the ladies Jake had kidnapped looked familiar. Then it dawned on him that it was Yulia's mother.“It’s her. You have her green eyes and her hair. I can't say much about the behavior though.”“I didn't ask for a behavior. How can you know that without just looking at a picture?” Sadness flashed in her green eyes. “I don't even know what my mother looks like since she disappeared when I was six. But I
It was almost time for them to visit Jake's home. Yulia had already changed into all-dark outfits; she was just putting on a wig and a lense to change her appearance.She reached out to take the smartwatch that was lying on the table. She was just putting it on when her bedroom door opened, and Alexander walked in.Her head snapped in his direction; he was already changed. His hands were pocketed, and he looked different than he used to.She drank at every sight of him; he looked so hot in red hair. The shirt sleeve was folded, and they showcased that tattoo that was on his arm.“Are you done drooling?” He demanded as he walked to where she was and took the smartwatch from her. “Since you got back your mother's properties, you haven't."Knowing what he was talking about, she pouted. “Well, we have a lot to do, don't we?”He helped her wear the smart watch on her wrist; his gaze lingered on the wristwatch more than necessary.“Are you sure Nelson's inventions work?” Alexander crooked h
“Are you sure that she is going to do as you said?” Ryker asked as he helped her out on the lip gloss combo.“Yes, she looked mad that day. I am sure that she would do exactly as I said.”As surprising as it sounds, Ryker was here as a makeup artist for her wedding. She was on the other side of the church, doing her makeup.The wedding was already starting, and in less than five minutes, she was going to be called to the congregation. Her face flushed; she couldn't believe that she was going to get married to Alexander.“Stop turning red.” Ryker ordered. “I might mess up your blush.”Solia glanced at the mirror; her lips curled into a smile as she stared at her reflection.“You are looking for pretty.” Ryker complimented. “As much as I hate this wedding, I can't say a thing about it.”Solia chuckled. “Don't worry, Ryker, you are going to find someone you love later.”He forced a thin smile. “Right.” He wondered if she had no idea that he was in love with her. He shook off the thoughts
“I didn't tell you, but the engagement is today,” Alexander announced this as soon as she sat down with Mocha on her lap.It had been a day since they came back from the hospital. Solia was getting used to waking up and sleeping in her body. She also had sessions with the therapist.Alexander didn't even tell her anything about the engagement beforehand, and now he is just telling her.“What?” She yelled, her eyes widening in surprise. “Did Gramps say that?”Alexander nodded his head. "Yes, he did; he was worried that I did something to you and made you break up our engagement. So he is making it earlier; also, our wedding is in two days.”“What the hell?” Solia bawled. “That's too fast; how can we get engaged and get married in two days?”He arched his brows at her. “Are you that resistant to getting married?”She shook her head. “Don't you think it is too soon?”“It's not. He insisted. “We are meant for each other.”He leaned in closer to her before placing his hand on the bed, trap
Alexander and Alessandro waited patiently in the VIP section of the hospital. They were both standing and pacing instead of sitting.Alexander was feeling sweaty, although there were air conditioners in the room. He wasn't worried about who would stay; he was only worried about her.Alessandro, on the other hand, was praying for Yulia to be the one to stay because he knew that he could never tolerate Solia. They were cat and mouse when it came to living together.Alessandro had already made up his mind to leave his brother's mansion if Solia stayed. That was the right choice; he was going to leave.Alexander kept on pacing when they arrived. The doctor had warned that when the treatment was going on, they could lose, but Yulia and Solia and another personality were going to appear.Alexander didn't let Alessandro know about it, but when he asked Solia about it, She said that she was willing to take the risk, and that's why he let her go.Sighing, he kept on waiting, his eyes glued to
Solia sat at the dining table; everyone who left for the mission was around the table. She didn't have an idea what they did to the rest of them outside, but she heard about it from Alessandro.He told her everything that happened, including how they fought with the bad guys and rescued the ladies.Solia also noticed that Rosa and Rose are getting over their differences. Everyone was glad that the mission had been successful, but Solia was worried. Yulia should have been out now, but she was nowhere to be found.She couldn't even feel her.It was like if she disappeared into the thin air, wanting to disappear from everything that she had always thought was right or the truth.Others didn't seem to care that she wasn't Yulia. They spoke to her just like they did to Yulia; she felt at home and enjoyed their company.One person who didn't seem to be enjoying dinner was Alexander. He would keep glancing her way and checking if she was alright.Her cheeks flushed; he was a prince charming,
That voice made Adora increase her pacing, but it was too late. Solia grabbed her by the hair and shoved her back towards the table.The force was so strong that Adora bagels against the table. Adora went quiet for a while, and that only made Solia chuckle.“I am getting revenge for Yulia, and what I have done is not enough for the betrayal you gave her.”Solia reached for Adora's legs and grabbed them. Adora tried to pull the table, but her fingers weren't working. Wincing, she let herself be pulled back by Solia.Solia was more focused on breaking the legs; if she could do that, Adora was going to have no choice but to crawl out of the room with her.She walked around the room and searched for anything in the drawers. Then she came across a hammer. She smirked. That was going to do.She held the hammer in her hand and walked back to Adora, who was backing away and at the same time bawling. Luck was not on her side because Solia broke her ankles with a wide grin on her face.“I can e
Trigger Warning: This chapter contains torture, murder, and abuse.**Adora continued to strangle her, her eyes filled with hatred and anger. Just when she thought that she had successfully strangled her daughter,Solia grabbed the woman's hand, raised her leg, and kicked the woman in the belly. The force of the kick was so strong that Adora released her neck.Solia pulled herself up and kicked the woman again. “How dare you hurt Yulia?” She bellowed.Adora trembled as she stared up at Solia. She couldn't believe that her daughter could be that strong after all that she said.Solia worked her way out of the rope that was tied to her wrist. She held the rope in her hand, evil thoughts running through her head.She had heard all of the things that the woman said to Yulia. It was then that Solia knew that Adora didn't deserve to be a mother.“Are you deaf?” Solia yelled as she lunged at the woman.Adora was too stunned to speak; she pulled out a gun. Solia was fast enough to kick the gu
Yulia peered up at the woman, who was holding a bucket. It was she who drenched Yulia; she didn't care about it, though. She had found her mother and was glad her mother was alright.However, she couldn't tell why her mother had a different color of eyes. She remembered that both of them were green.“What did she say?” The man, whom Yulia assumed to be Jake, was questioned.“She said she wants to go back home.” The woman said this as she squatted.Yulia rose herself off the ground; her mother didn't seem to recognize her. She turned her head to look at Jake; he was older than his picture.She sat still while her mother scrutinized her, tears welling up in her eyes. The woman that she thought was dead was alive all along.Yulia's eyes pierced her mother's, and she wondered if her mother recognized her.“She is a unique one.” The woman muttered as she rose to her feet. “Let's keep her.”Yulia's gaze followed her mother as she walked towards where Jake was and took her seat next to him.
“This is it; I will be the one to let myself get caught, and you all will know your position." Yulia ordered.A few FBI agents and the mafia were in the large office as she spoke. The FBI had decided to work with the Mafia to catch Jake. Although it was hard for them to stay in the same room, especially the ladies,.The FBI women criticize the Mafia women for drowning themselves in cigarettes and tattoos. The FBI smokes, too.Currently, just as Yulia was speaking, an FBI agent and a mafia lady were arguing.The men ignored them; they could fight all they wanted. As long as they could find Jake. Everyone needed him for one thing or another. Yulia wanted to find her mother.That was the reason she wanted to let herself get caught.“Are you going to pick two more ladies to make it convincing?” Ryker suggested. “If you go with two more ladies, I can be calm because you're not there alone.”Yulia glanced at the ladies in the room and shook her head. She was better off without them; they mi
They all sat over the large table, each of them sitting on a chair. Yulia was sitting in between Ryker and Alexander. Alessandro and Denise were sitting on the other side.The atmosphere was awkward.After she admitted that she killed the old lady and the man, Ryker looked mad; instead of attacking her, he lunged at Alexander, and the both of them got into a furious fight.It took so much willpower to separate them. Although they were home now, the men were surely glaring at each other. Alexander had a bandage on his right cheek, while Ryker had one on his left cheek.“Princess, you went out and brought him another best friend. Am I not good enough for you?” Alessandro demanded, breaking the silence just as he had broken the pen in his hand.Yulia stared at Alessandro; he had an annoyed expression on his face. “Not you too.”“Where was he when I was helping you in college? He wasn't even there when you needed him the most."Alessandro muttered. “And he is a cop; I hate cops.”“I'm not
