"What information did you get?" Dave asked the young man standing before him in a polite manner; hands in front of his body.
The young man handed a brown folder to Dave's desk, there was nothing written on it. Dave took his eyes off the laptop screen and took the folder, then opened it. Some papers and photos are in there. Carefully, Dave checked them one by one.On a piece of paper containing a DNA test result, Dave widened his eyes in surprise. "This …!" He looked at the young man in front of him. "Are you sure this is valid?""Yes sir. I can't possibly give false information," replied the young man."My wife won't believe this," Dave mumbled to himself, reading the file in his hand again, just to be sure. Dave's attention was drawn to several photographs that were also in the folder. A face very similar to his wife, Angel, was plastered there. But it wasn't Angel, the girl in the photo had a different nickname; Kina.“So, they are… twiRelated chapters

Dave decided not to tell Angel. He returned to his wife who was patiently waiting at the door while playing with her cell phone, perhaps to ease the anxiety she was feeling.Hearing the sound of approaching footsteps, Angel suddenly looked up. Dave put on a smile, walking casually over to the woman."Nothing," he said."Are you sure?""Hmm. But I saw crumbs of cake on the floor. The rat must have entered through the air vent above the window. I'll have someone close it tomorrow and call an exterminator,” Dave explained. He saw the cake lying on the pantry, maybe Angel forgot to clean it, so Dave also used that excuse, which luckily Angel believed easily. In this case, Dave really prefers to lie rather than tell Angel the truth and makes the woman feel worried all the time until she keeps thinking. Not long ago, Angel wanted to get up from her slump, Dave didn't want the same thing to happen again. He will handle this alone. Whoever the bastard broke into hi

“Sometimes, I still can't believe how similar we are, Angel. Not only looks, but we also have many of the same hobbies. It really is a miraculous coincidence, isn't it?" Kina looked enthusiastic as she and Angel walked hand in hand out of the restaurant. They chatted at length as if they never ran out of topics at all.On the one hand, Dave who is now walking behind them feels happy because his wife seems to have a friend who she really likes. But on the other hand, he felt a little jealous of being unknowingly pushed aside. The romantic dinner that should have belonged to the two of them was interrupted just like that.Maybe, it wouldn't be a problem anymore if Dave told Angel about Kina's true identity. He will do that tonight. Angel would definitely be very happy, seeing how she reacted now to the presence of her twin sister who she didn't even know about. The sooner Angel knows the better."You guys look alike. Has it ever crossed your mind that you two are

Dave's phone rang, it sounded loud. He immediately picked it up without looking at the caller ID first.Angel, who was getting ready to sleep on the bed, immediately turned her attention to her husband.Dave's forehead seemed to wrinkle at whatever the caller said."Okay, I'll be there soon." Dave's voice sounded worried."Who?" asked Angel curiously as soon as the phone line was cut off and Dave put his cell phone on the bed."The hospital," said Dave."Hospital? Something happened?"Dave, who had just finished taking a shower, put on his clothes in a hurry."Yes," he answered, short and flat.What's really going on? Angel thought. Dave looked worried and his emotions seemed to be unstable. Angel took the initiative to approach him."Are you okay?"Dave didn't answer."Dave," Angel called softly. She touched the man's shoulder and repeated her question, "What's wrong, Dave? What happened at the hospital?"Dave swallow

Angel saw Dave coming out of his sister's room with a downcast face and a momentarily blank stare. Angel approached him so Dave lifted his gaze and only then could Angel see the sadness in the man's eyes. She didn't say anything, moved closer and hugged her husband tightly.Dave immediately returned the hug. He buried his face in the crook of his wife's neck and took a deep breath to find the calmness he could find strangely in Angel."We'd better go home now," Dave said, still hugging Angel, his voice muffled by strands of hair."What about Daisy?" Angel asked, glancing at the glass in the door."She'll be fine," Dave replied, his voice calm.Angel won't ask much. She didn't want to make Dave explain something he didn't want to talk about. So without saying anything, Angel nodded in agreement. They returned home, leaving the hospital which had a very gripping loneliness.In the car, neither of them spoke, both absorbed in their own thoughts. Even after

The sigh that escaped Angel's lips was like a live button for Dave. She was no longer thinking about anything other than the passion that was rapidly burning through their bodies, swirling in their cores of longing for each other.The work clothes Dave was wearing were wrinkled. A few of the buttons on his shirt were undone, and the bottom part of the fabric was coming out of the pants whose belt had also been opened. Meanwhile, Angel was no better, the towel she was wearing had been removed by Dave and, just as Dave thought, Angel was wearing nothing under the towel.“How could you only wear this piece of cloth when you're in the room with me? Did you do it on purpose, Angel? Hm?”Angel's mouth opened, but not an answer came out but another sigh. Dave pampered her, touching every inch of her body like he was worshiping something beautiful; with his hands, with his lips, with his tongue, or with the strands of his hair that tickled Angel's skin

Because Dave has to go to the hospital to visit his sister, Daisy, his vacation plans with Angel are canceled. Angel didn't mind at all. Even she pushed Dave to leave, even though the man said there was no need because his mother was there waiting for his sister so he didn't have to come. However, Angel really understands how Dave feels, which he often hides. Dave was clearly worried about his sister. This wasn't the time to take a vacation while Daisy was in a bad state.“Well,” said Dave at last. Instead, Angel went to meet Kina. The files she had were neatly stored in her bag.They will meet at Angel's flower shop. Kina said she wanted to see the famous flower shop. When Kina said it over the phone this afternoon, Angel blushed.“Angel, a new flower delivery has arrived.” said one of Angel's employees, shifting Angel's attention from the back window of the shop, which overlooks

Day by day, since Angel knew that Kina was her twin sister, Dave realized how Angel seemed enthusiastic every day to meet this woman. Dave spent most of his time at the office and when he got home he wished he could spend it with Angel, watching her relax and rest. However, even at night, Angel goes out with Kina.Dave felt as if his wife was being monopolized. He knew he shouldn't feel that way. That's why Dave decided to take Angel on a trip to the Maldives. Dave already has two plane tickets in his hands, he will surprise Angel when she gets home.When Dave got home, he found Angel was with Kina.“Dave!” Angel walked over to Dave, and took over the briefcase and coat Dave was wearing. Dave smiled, then hugged his wife and kissed her forehead softly.Not far from them, Dave could see Kina was staring at them.“You didn't say that Kina would come tonight,&rd

The day when Angel and Dave would finally go to the Maldives had finally come. It was February. Dave said the weather in the Maldives would be warmer after a long rainy season. To express her enthusiasm, Angel told Kina about her vacation plans.“So, when are you leaving?” asked Kina, her voice languid. While the two of them were at Angel's flower shop.“I'm leaving tonight. Everything was prepared by Dave, we just had to leave,” Angel answered with a big smile because she was so happy.Meanwhile, Kina was getting sullen. “Well, then I'll be alone here then."“Hehehe. Do not be angry. I won't be gone for long. Next week I go home.”“Next week?” Kina looked at Angel with a surprised look. “Are you coming back next week?”Angel nodded. “Hm! Dave said it couldn't be too long becaus
