While the whole world knew about Lyra Hades as the heiress of the 'Hades Group', I, her twin sister, Leilani Hades, was nothing, but her shadow whom nobody knew existed.'Marry Jaxon Grant in my place, and I will consider helping you' When my beloved nanny, the only one who ever cared about me was on the sickbed, at the verge of death, the only condition my twin sister gave in exchange for giving me money for the treatment, was to marry her boyfriend in her place. 'She couldn't be with a man who was just an adopted son. A dog of the Grant's family who was likely to not get any inheritance' that was her excuse for not marrying him, taking advantage of our identical face to fool him.However, there was something weird about my new husband from the day we got married. His aura, his charm, everything about him screamed power. He wasn't an ordinary adopted son whom my sister had mistaken him for. My husband was hiding something from me, but what was it? Does he have a hidden identity?
View MoreChapter 5 Leilani Hades My heart pounded hard in my chest as I sat in Mr. Derek's living room while waiting for him. Mr. Derek was my dad's best friend before he passed away, and he had since been our family's close friend after dad's demise. I didn't want to reach out to him if not that he was the last hope that I had. My attention was drawn to his footsteps descending the staircase, and my heart missed a beat as I fondled my fingers nervously. “I'm sorry for keeping you waiting, dear. I was attending to something in the room,” he groaned, sitting on the couch. Mr. Derek was in his early forties. “It's fine, Sir. Good day, Sir,” I bowed to him, and he waved his hand dismissively, smiling at me. “Leilani, right?” He asked, and I nodded. I had told him over the phone yesterday. “Uhm… Sir, about what we discussed,” I said almost in a whisper, my heart beating rapidly like it was going to explode. “Oh… right…” he paused, standing up from where he was sitting. I th
Chapter 4 Leilani Hades I was welcomed by Lyra in the living room, polishing her nails. "Look who we have here. It's the latest bride..." She smiled, putting her nail polish away. She crossed her legs, reclining on the couch as she looked at me with a mocking smile on her face. "How is life treating you in your new matrimonial home? It must be horrible being with that loser, right?" She tucked her hair away, a smirk settling on her face. "Jaxon is no longer your boyfriend, but my husband now. Mind the way you address him!" I snapped at her, and she raised her eyebrows briefly. "Wow! I didn't see that coming. Have you fallen in love with Jaxon already?" She asked, and chuckled. "I shouldn't be asking you that. You both are perfect match for eachother, so it's not surprising," She rolled her eyes. "Where is Mom?" I asked restlessly. "Mom? She obviously is not here," She shrugged casually. "Where is she?" I demanded, my voice a bit louder and furio
Chapter 3 Jaxon Grant My attention was drawn to the aroma coming from the dining room as soon as I woke up in the living room. My body ached since I was not used to sleeping on the couch, but I felt relieved as the thought of my wife crossed my mind. The table was already set with series of dish which all looked delicious. My mouth salivated at the sight of them. "Good morning, wife," My lips curled up in a smile as I walked over to Lyra. "Good morning," Her voice was low and shaky, turning to glance at me with a forced smile on her face. As much as I didn't want to give it much thought, I couldn't help but notice how awkward she had been around me since yesterday that we got married. 'You two just got married. It's only right that she feels this way' I tried to convince myself. Besides, we didn't date for long before getting married, and we've only hung out a couple of times. "You didn't have to stress yourself," I said, going to stand beside her. I tu
Chapter 2 Leilani Hades Jaxon was already waiting for me in front of the city hall by the time I arrived, so I alighted from the cab with my luggage. A suitcase that had everything I owned. "Lyra," He had the most joyous smile on his face as he walked up to me. "I was worried about you. Are you ok? I've been trying to reach your phone but you weren't taking your calls," He held my shoulders, his pair of brown eyes gazing into mine worriedly. He had the most innocent and handsome chiseled face with a sharp jawline, a pair of charming hazel eyes that had me melting inside, thick eyebrows, long eyelashes, nubian-shaped nose, small sexy lips. And a set of white dentition with the most beautiful smile ever. "Are you ok?" He cupped my cheek in his warm palm, and my heart skipped a beat. What if he finds out that I wasn’t Lyra? "Ye...yeah. I'm fine. Uhm... about that...I...I... Something happened to the phone," I stuttered. I feared he might
Chapter 1 Leilani Hades "Mom, please help me. I need to save nana," I fell to my knees, begging Mom with tears in my eyes. "I can't let her die," I shook my head, whimpering. "Why should I give you money to save Felicia, Leilani? Stop trying so hard. She's already old. She's going to die, anyway," Mom looked at me with that usual expression disgust and hatred as she stated casually. 'Why does she hate me so much?' This is the question I've been asking myself for years but didn't have an answer to. I would've sworn she adopted me if not that we had striking resemblance. "Why don't you stop being pathetic because of that old hag, Leilani? I'm disappointed in you," Lyra, my twin sister rolled her eyes, crossing her legs. She was sitting on the couch with Mom. This old hag she was referring to was the only family I had. The only one who ever cared about me. The only one who never bullied or looked down on me when my biological family did. How could I Iet h
