**The following morning**"Diana. Wake up, Diana! Don't you have somewhere to go today?" I asked as I reached out a hand to tap my sister softly on her shoulder. Diana didn't even stir in her sleep at first, but then her eyelids began to flutter. I recalled from the night before that there was a very important interview and photoshoot that she had been looking forward to. It had been a while since she had been officially featured on the front page of a magazine, and she was excited about this opportunity. That being said, I had no idea why she seemed to be sleeping in when she was supposed to be up and about and getting ready."Wake up, Diana! You have an interview to go to today and a magazine photoshoot. I also have to get my ass out of the hospital today," I reminded her, in case she had forgotten. Diana wasn't the most diligent of people, but she was clearly responsible when it came to everything that she cared about, and I knew that she cared about this magazine photoshoot. "Wa
I struggled internally for a moment, but I knew that there was no way that I could turn her down. Donna looked so sad and also a little stressed. She was right that getting this shoot right was important in returning her to the social scene. Also, it wouldn't be so great for her to mess up her first magazine shoot after returning to the country. I let out a loud sigh as I closed my eyes when I realized that there was probably no other way out.“This is because of the weather, isn’t it? Is it that time of the year already? I guess it sucks that your allergies never completely went away. How are you holding up? Do you want to take that medicine that you always take?” I asked before letting out a soft sigh.I had failed to realize that it was already that time of year when Diana’s weather allergies would start acting up. Being stuck inside, I had failed to realize that the air outside might have gotten heavier and it had been raining on and off for a few days. Suddenly, I felt slightly g
Along with a couple of other bodyguards, I headed towards Dahlia's hospital room. It was a path that I had walked so many times that I was certain that I could arrive safely at her hospital room with my eyes closed without using much effort. "Wait here," I instructed the rest of the guards before turning to nod my head in acknowledgment to the other guards that were already on guard in front of her hospital room."You're finally here!" a sweet-sounding voice greeted me the moment that I entered the room.I watched as a very beautiful woman dressed in a casual dress approached me. Slowly, I closed the door behind me before turning to give her my undivided attention. The bright smile that she had on her face as she tilted her face upwards to stare right into my eyes told me that she was beyond thrilled to see me."You have no idea just how long I've been waiting for you. I thought you would arrive here much earlier in the morning," she said before showing me a sweet smile."Should I be
"Why would I ever get jealous?" I replied bluntly."Well, I guess that's a slight shame. Then again, I guess sometimes we don't have a good understanding of our own emotions, am I right?" she asked sweetly before smiling seductively at me."What about you? Do you think you have a good understanding of your emotions?" I asked, wondering as our eyes locked in an intense stare."I'm not sure if I understand my feelings very well, but I think that I understand what I want really, really well," she replied in a seductive whisper as she slowly reached out a hand and placed it against my beating heart. Her beautifully alluring eyes were filled with desire as she stared into my face while her hand slowly stroked my chest suggestively."Shouldn't we wait until we get back home?" I asked. Things were starting to get even more amusing than I ever thought possible when I entered the hospital room. Instead of heading back as fast as possible, it seemed like she was intent on seducing me right then
Diana did not look impressed at my lack of reaction to her teasing words. Although, I did realize that if I hadn't called her out on her act, we would probably be doing it right now. Any fool who couldn't tell the two sisters apart would have surely fallen into her trap."You know, I really hate you," she confessed before smiling sweetly at me."Then get off of me already," I said, with the warning edge in my voice."Not yet. We need to talk," she said as she pressed her hands on top of my shoulders as if they would help keep me in place.I had no idea why she needed to be sitting on top of me for us to have a decent conversation. Diana's mind seemed to be racing as her eyes started to dart to the side, and I couldn't help but wonder what she was trying so desperately hard to figure out."This is going to sound quite crazy. I hate you, but for some reason, I feel like I can trust you now. Maybe it's because you can tell that I'm not Dahlia," she said before she hesitated. My patience
Today, I’m finally getting married to the man of my dreams and my first love. I don’t remember when I first fell in love with him, but for as long as I can remember, I’ve always been in love with him. I wasn’t certain whether it was because of pure good luck or ill-fated misfortune that my one-sided forbidden love would be fulfilled today after I have spent countless years yearning for my twin sister’s fiancé. I’m not even sure where to start to describe all the pain, suffering, and misfortunes that I’ve had to deal with before reaching this moment. Dressed in a very expensive designer wedding dress with a white lacy veil covering my face, my hand tightened slightly around my father’s arm as I tried to stop my legs from shaking from the mix of nervousness and overwhelming excitement. It just didn’t feel real. I didn’t dare close my eyes for too long for fear that when I reopened them again, I would find out that everything about this wedding was just a sweet fantasy dream that I’
After what felt like a short eternity, we finally arrived in front of the altar where my groom was waiting for me. It felt like time had stopped and in that moment nothing else in the world mattered when I laid eyes on him. Just taking a peek at him from the other side of the veil that I had on made my heart race dangerously in my chest. “Do your job properly. This is going to be all over the news,” my father whispered close to my ear. Honestly, he didn’t need to tell me that because I knew from the moment that we made our agreement that I had to do my best to uphold my end of the bargain. Once again, I reminded myself that I wasn’t doing it for them, but I was doing it for my elder sister and for myself. My poor excuse of a father walked away from my side, and I was left alone to face my groom. Seeing him again right in front of me in the flesh reminded me that we had been apart for far too long. The day I left this country, I never thought that I would one day return and I defini
That’s right, we have to kiss…I felt like I was lost in a daze as Anthony turned to face me. He gently placed his hands on my shoulders before his hands slowly slid down my arms. My body felt frozen in place as a fluttering feeling developed in the pit of my stomach when I realized that he was going to kiss me. Even if it was supposed to be just a ceremonious kiss to seal our wedding vows, it was still a kiss and it would be our first kiss ever. It wasn’t like I didn’t have experience with men but standing in front of Anthony made me feel as nervous and anxious as if I was a young virgin girl all over again.Without saying a word, Anthony pulled me closer to him as his face approached mine. I felt his large manly hands slide down to the small of my back as he pulled me even closer to him. We were so close that our bodies were pressed together, and I could feel the heat of his body against mine. My eyelids instinctively slid closed as I offered my lips to him in sweet surrender and ac
