Angelie Smith never thought a day would come when she would have to give up her not-so-beginning love story just to save her brother's life. Tim, her Twin brother, had kidney failure that required an urgent transplant, having come from a humble background with just her and her only brother as the only surviving family, catering for such medical expenses is something her salary couldn’t afford. Caught in between the web, she had just one person in mind who would likely come to her rescue, Jeffrey Lu, the only man she had secretly loved for years and counting, unfortunately, he was far away on a business trip. Lucas Lu, Jeffery's half-brother and a strategist who uses any opportunity to get under his brother’s skin, offered to help. Being another third party who knows about his brother’s strong feelings towards Angelie, he leverages the situation and offers to help after listening to her ordeal but not without coming with a strong price of her being his lawfully wedded wife. With Jeffrey far away and his brother’s life on the line, accepting his condition was the only way she could save her brother. To Lucas, the marriage is just a way to spite his brother, who has always had a better life than he. Lucas's evil act doesn’t end with marrying Angelie. On his wedding night, he plots a scheme that makes the two lovers have sex while heavily intoxicated with an aphrodisiac substance, and the affair of that night conceives a seed. What will happen when Jeffery comes back and discovers that the only woman he wanted to confess his feelings to before the impromptu meeting occurs is set to marry his brother? Will Jeffery ever discover the existence of his twin girls, born by Angelie?

CHAPTER ONE

The hospital waiting room smelled like antiseptic and stale coffee. Angelie sat on the cold plastic chair, her fingers clenched around the fraying strap of her handbag. Her eyes hadn’t left the doctor’s office door since he’d gone in with Tim’s latest test results. Her twin brother was down the hall, unconscious again. Pale. Fading.“Angelie?”She stood so fast the strap snapped off her bag. She didn’t even look at it.Dr. Harrow’s expression told her everything before he said a word.“It’s progressed faster than we hoped,” he said gently. “Tim’s kidneys are failing. Completely this time. We need a transplant. Soon.”She blinked. “How soon is ‘soon’?”He hesitated. “Two weeks. Maybe less.”Angelie felt the ground slip out from under her. “We don’t have that kind of money.”“I know. But there’s a donor. A private one. The procedure would happen at St. Nicholas. They can do it quickly if the financial part is handled.”“How much?”“Three hundred and fifty thousand.”She felt like he’d p...

CHAPTER TWO
Jeffery’s name still hung in the air like a gunshot.Angelie’s fingers stiffened around the hem of her coat. She looked at Lucas, searching his face for a hint of bluff. A twitch. A lie. But he looked entirely too pleased with himself.“You said he wouldn’t be a problem,” she said slowly.Lucas shrugged, shutting the door behind her. “Plans change.”“How soon is he back?”Lucas turned toward the grand staircase, loosening his tie like her presence was an afterthought. “A few days. Three, maybe. Long enough for us to file the license and start making the press rounds.”Her stomach flipped.“You’re pushing this,” she said, suddenly aware of how fast everything was moving. “You want him to see it, don’t you?”Lucas stopped halfway up the stairs and looked down at her. “I want him to know he lost.”“That’s not what this is about for me,” she said, jaw tight. “This is about saving Tim.”He tilted his head. “Then we’re both getting what we want. Isn’t that the foundation of a good marriage?

CHAPTER THREE
The words echoed in her chest like a bullet."Jeffery lands on Tuesday."Angelie stood frozen in the hallway, her fingers clutched around the banister, heart racing. Lucas had said it with a smile, like it was good news. Like it was a game.But to Angelie, it felt like the moment everything would fall apart.Tuesday.Three days.Three days before the man she couldn’t forget came back to see her married to his brother.She went to bed that night still wearing the ivory press dress. The zipper caught, but she didn’t care. She sat on the edge of the massive bed in the guest room Lucas had called “temporary,” staring into nothing.Every breath felt borrowed.Every second with Lucas felt like a countdown.Would Jeffrey believe the headlines?Would he see through them?Would he even want to?********Morning came like punishment. Angelie didn’t sleep.She was already awake when Lucas knocked and strolled in without waiting.“Good. You’re up,” he said, sipping coffee. “Big day.”She didn’t a

CHAPTER FOUR
Angelie hadn’t slept.She’d lain in that enormous bed all night, staring at the ceiling, not blinking, not crying. Just… existing. Her body buzzed like it was on the edge of shutting down, but her mind wouldn’t quit. It just kept playing one line on repeat:Jeffery’s coming.Today.To this house.And he’d see her.In this dress. With that man.A new dress had been laid out for her, ivory again. Almost white. Pretty, expensive. Lucas had chosen it. Probably with a smirk. Because nothing he did was ever neutral.She wore it anyway.What was the point in fighting something you couldn’t escape?**********Downstairs, the house was buzzing with quiet chaos. Maids moved fast, fixing flowers, adjusting silverware. The long table was already dressed like royalty was expected.Angelie walked in, shoulders tight, face blank. Then she saw it:Jeffery Lu Printed in neat, expensive script on a place card.Directly across from her.Her throat closed.She turned, ready to leave, no explanation, jus

CHAPTER FIVE
Angelie woke to the sound of birds.Not her alarm. Not Lucas’s voice.Birds.For a moment, she forgot where she was. Forgot everything.Then the ache set in. A slow, pulsing discomfort across her thighs and back. Like she'd run a marathon or something worse.Her eyes fluttered open.She was in her room.In the Lu estate.Alone.Still wearing her robe, half-slipped off one shoulder, the sheets tangled around her legs.She sat up too fast. Her head spun. Her mouth was dry.What time was it?The wine. Last night.She remembered the knock. Julia. The tray. The two glasses. The way Julia hadn’t met her eyes.She remembered one sip. Maybe two.Then, nothing.Her breath caught.She touched her lips, then her chest, then her thighs.A slow chill crept into her bones.She didn’t remember coming to bed.Didn’t remember undressing.Didn’t remember anything after that first sip of wine.Her heart raced.Was it just sleep? Or something else?Something she didn’t want to name.She got out of bed s

CHAPTER SIX
Jeffery didn’t like hesitation. He wasn’t built for it. Things were either handled or not. You said something, or you didn’t. You left, or you stayed.But this morning, the envelope just sat there on his desk.He was already dressed, sharp blue suit, sleeves rolled just enough to breathe. The city outside was waking up, buzzing. He didn’t care. He was standing by the window, arms crossed, just... staring at the blank air.“You going to mail it?” Fred asked from across the room, sipping his coffee like this wasn’t weird.“I said I would.”“Been sitting there since seven.”Jeffery didn’t look at him. “She’ll get it today.”Fred waited a beat. “Still not putting your name on it?”“Nope.”“And you're not going to tell her what it means?”Jeffery finally turned, his face unreadable. “It doesn’t mean anything.”Fred snorted. “Right.” more like he didn’t believe him.Jeffery walked over, picked up the envelope, tapped it once against his palm, then slid it into the outbox tray like he was do

CHAPTER 7
“Surprise."Jeffery blinked, caught mid-step, his gaze locked on the woman in front of him like a deer facing headlights. His hands stiffened at his sides, his jaw tightened, but he didn’t say a word, just looking at the woman in front of him."Anita?" His voice wasn’t exactly warm, more like stunned..If there was one thing Jeffery Lu couldn’t do, it was pretend.The look on his face wasn’t masked at all. It screamed: What are you doing here? Not that I’m happy to see you.Anita, ever the actress, caught on instantly. She didn’t flinch, nor delete the smile on her face, instead, she threw her shoulders back, smiled that dazzling, calculated smile that once lit up the covers of fashion magazines, and stepped forward confidently.“Well, Grandpa invited me over. Thought it was about time I came back. Aren’t you happy to see your childhood sweetheart?”Before Jeffery could move or reply, Anita closed the space between them and wrapped her arms around his neck in a long, too-familiar hug

CHAPTER EIGHT
“I want to tell you something…”Angelie’s voice was low and shaky, but Jeffery heard it. The air felt still around them, and he waited, eyes locked on hers.She look so beautiful that he was almost tempted to kiss her, but he knew better not to. In as much as he hated to admit it, she is her brother’s.The mere thought of it made his face deepen in anger.But the moment shattered too quickly.Footsteps.Then a voice, smooth and familiar, curled through the doorway like a ghost“Oh, Angelie. You’re here. I’ve been looking for you.”Lucas.He was monitoring her and saw when she left her room. Just as he assumed, he was right.He stepped into the library, casual like always, hands in his pockets, dark eyes. He glanced between them.Angelie instinctively stepped back.Jeffery still retains his expression.Lucas smiled, too widely. “Didn’t mean to interrupt the heart-to-heart conversation. Just thought I needed to be with my wife now.”Angelie turned, stiff. “I’ll be out in a minute.”Luca

CHAPTER NINE
“I want to take the offer,” Angelie repeated, voice firm despite the storm churning in her chest. “But I don’t want to leave the country.”“I can’t leave my brother here.”Jeffery blinked. It was rare to see him thrown off, but he didn’t speak right away.She stood across from him like she wasn’t trembling inside. She was hoping that the offer was still on. She was more than determined to walk through this path, just for him.Finally, he stepped around the desk, his arms folded. “Why not?”She hesitated. “I have… reasons.”He studied her. “Lucas?”She looked away, not answering.Jeffery didn’t push, but something flickered in his eyes.“You can take the program anywhere,” he said, voice low. “I’ll arrange it. You don’t have to go to Paris. New York. LA. Wherever you want. I just…” He exhaled. “I just want you to purse your dream.”Angelie nodded slowly.“New York,” she said.“Done.”She smiled a little. A tired smile. “Thank you.”He gave her a nod, hands still in his pockets. But he
