Chapter 1: Cake of Fate

Live your life to the fullest! That’s my personal saying in life. That's why I eat whatever I want, making me a little chubby. Who cares? Chubby now is the new sexy, right? And I've got plenty of admirers to confirm that. They describe me as perfect, with my gorgeous face, silky long hair, flawless porcelain skin, and alluring curvy figure. Even my best friend is envious of my captivating beauty. But my adventures don't stop at my dinner plate and pretty face. I also travel wherever my heart desires, especially on my birthday. Alone. Because traveling alone gives me a sense of peace. That’s how I enjoy life. Or I’d rather say, that’s how I make myself happy and forget all the dramas of my life. That was after my dad passed away when I was 22. Because when my dad was still alive, I only used to celebrate my birthday at home, with him, wearing a red dress, blowing out my birthday cake, and eating my favorite pasta that he cooked for me. We were so happy back then even though I don

Chapter 2: One Last Wish

I was lying on my cozy bed with my eyes staring at the ceiling of the interior cabin. I couldn’t sleep because every time I would close my eyes, all I could see was the face of the man earlier. It kept repeating in my mind, especially the passionate kiss that we shared. Sigh. I couldn’t believe that I would kiss a random stranger, especially since it was my first kiss. And now that I sobered up, I felt so ashamed of myself. “What have you done, Ash?” I muttered bitterly as I pulled my hair and crumpled my face in embarrassment. I only felt better after I convinced myself that I would never see him again. And since I couldn't sleep, I turned on the television and made myself busy watching the news. After a while, I yawned. My eyelids feel heavy. Hence, I turned off the tv and pulled the blanket to cover half of my body as I prepared to sleep. However, as soon as I closed my eyes I heard a knock on my door. ‘Who’s that?’ I asked but it didn’t come out of my mouth. I didn’t get u

Chapter 3: Arranged Marriage

I stared at my twin sister’s face with a questioning look, still couldn’t believe what I just heard. I didn’t expect that her one last wish would be this consequential that would greatly affect my life.All of a sudden, I felt reluctant to fulfill my promise. ‘Why did I put myself into a difficult situation such as this?’ I asked myself. Then I thought, ‘Or was it only a prank?’“I didn’t know that you also love playing a prank, my dear twin sister,” I remarked, followed by an awkward laugh. But deep inside I was really anxious. What if she was serious about it?And my suspicion was right. Angela remained serious as she dejectedly stared at me.I stopped laughing as I bit my lower lip. ‘So, it’s not a prank.’ I whispered inside as I sat straight in my seat, waiting for what she would say next.“It’s not a prank, Ash. I’m really telling you my last wish. I want you to attend the wedding on my behalf. They will not know since we look alike. Anyway, I understand if you can't do it for me

Chapter 4: Right Decision

I was lost for words after her last sentence. I could also see how disheartened my twin sister was. I stood up from my seat. Then I placed my arms on the railing on the balcony and looked away. There are so many things going on in my mind like, ‘What can I do? Why does it seem that I don’t have a choice but to agree? Sigh. Should I agree because I already made a promise? “Don’t you think that it will only get more complicated when I pretend? What if they learn that I am not the real Angela? Look at me. Yes, we have similar looks but we have different personalities. What if he noticed that I’m a different person?” I asked for one last time while looking at the hazy moon. “I’ve never met him in person before so you don’t have to worry. And to tell you honestly, I don’t know much about him and his family because they are living overseas. Mom just told me before that he’s five years older than me and a baker. That's all I know. So, it’s really not a problem.” She stated nonchalantly. He

CHAPTER 5: THE GROOM

Wearing my classic aesthetic wedding dress, I stood frozen in the middle of the aisle as everything flashed back in my memory after I saw the familiar face of the man near the altar. ‘It cannot be,’ I murmured in disbelief while my heart was beating wildly in my chest. And as I looked at him, I felt as though time had slowed down. The sweet piece of music in the air earlier was now fading away while everything around us became blurry in my peripheral vision. However, I couldn’t be wrong. How could I forget that exquisite face? His remarkable face that I dreamed about for several nights after our first encounter on the cruise ship. It was him. It was indeed Leo King! And… and he’s the groom?! But how come? I could clearly remember the face of the man in the picture that Angela showed me. And it was definitely not him! I was in a daze while my eyes were searching for the man in the picture that my twin sister showed me, thinking that I must be mistaken. That maybe the man standing

Chapter 6: Reenactment

And just like that, one month passed by so quickly. Yes. It's been a month but I am still not used to my life now. I was always left alone in this villa. If Sarah hadn’t visited me every weekend, I might have gotten bored to death already. Anyway, I was right. We got along well. And there’s one thing we have in common. We love coffee! That’s why we always go out to have some coffee every time she visits me. Good thing, I had some savings to spend, I didn’t need to ask my busy bee husband for money. Although he gave me a bank card for my allowance I'd rather keep it for Angela since it wasn't really for me. It's for her. However, I was worried about my twin sister as I had no news from her if her operation was successful or not. The last message I got from her was on the day before she would go to the operating room for her operation. She told me not to worry about her and that she might not be able to call or text me for weeks since it would take some time before she would fully r

Chapter 7: King's Family

My brows furrowed, thinking why he couldn’t just tell me directly what the occasion was. ‘Do I look like a fortune teller to predict what’s the occasion?’ I grumbled in my mind. But as we approached the garden, I couldn’t help but be amazed. “Wow!” I uttered in astonishment, seeing the venue adorned with colorful flowers and lush greenery, creating a serene and inviting atmosphere. There were also balloons and elegant lanterns hanging from the trees, casting a warm glow over the area. And as we reached the entrance, a welcoming arch made of blooming roses and cascading vines greeted us. However, I felt a little anxious when almost all the guests turned their heads after they noticed us coming. And from how they dressed, they all seemed to be from the upper class. So, I assumed that the host of the party might be a very important person of the same class. Subsequently, I saw Sarah from afar approaching us. At first, I almost didn’t recognize her when she beamed dazzlingly at us as

Chapter 8: Fraud

I glanced at Leo, waiting for his reply. And as I stared at him, I couldn’t help but look down at his lips and recalled his sweet kiss. My heart pounded at the thought. So, I took a deep breath as I averted my eyes from him and focused on the food on my plate. Then I heard him clear his throat. “Our family is like the world’s tallest mountain. Not everyone can reach the top," he replied figuratively. I arched my brow as I wondered the meaning of his statement. And as I contemplated I slowly realized that my suspicions before were both right and wrong. From the luxury brand of his suit to his grand villa. He could afford all of those not because of his hard-earned money but because he was really rich, contrary to what Angela told me. “So, how wealthy are you?” I queried as I got interested if he would dare to tell me. “If you can count the stars, you’ll know the answer to your question.” He declared before he took the glass of water and drank it. I couldn’t manage to reply as

Chapter 9: Honeymoon

“It’s been a while, Jake,” Leo stated plainly as soon as he came near us. Then, he grabbed me by my waist and pulled me closer to him. Another surprising gesture from him. “Right. It’s been a while,” Jake responded with a thin smile and patted Leo on his arm. Then, he glanced again at me. “So, when did you return?” Leo asked. I didn’t know but I could feel the tension between the two of them in the way they converse. Jake’s smile widened. “I just came back yesterday. You know, when I received the invitation from your mom, I didn’t hesitate to come. Anyway, congratulations.” He said, throwing me a quick look before his eyes darted again at Leo. Consequently, I felt uncomfortable with his gaze so I looked away. “I see,” Leo uttered, looking down at me. Then, he cleared his throat before he added, “So, we have to go. Everyone outside is waiting for my wife.” I suddenly raised my head at Leo as he emphasized the words ‘my wife’. I couldn’t understand but it brought a fluttery sens

Chapter 10: Don't

I woke up to the gentle touch of a cool damp cloth on my burning face. “Hmm…” I moaned without opening my eyes as I was still feeling dizzy. “What came to your mind and you drank too much alcohol?” I heard Leo mutter angrily. So, I tried to open my eyes. And I was right. It was not my imagination. It was him. I found him sitting beside the bed while staring down at me. But my head was still spinning. Hence, I clutched the edge of the mattress, trying to steady myself. Still disoriented, I smiled as I asked innocently in a slurred speech. “W-What al-alcohol?” Then, I closed my eyes again, wishing my wooziness would subside. “So, you don’t remember what you did?” He questioned as he continued wiping my face with a damp cloth. “O-of course, I re-remember! I remember everything.” I responded boldly. “If you really remember anything, what happened earlier?” “You k-kissed me earlier, didn’t you?” I told him the only thing I remembered at the moment as I held his hand, stopping h
