The Unavoidable
At first, I thought that the way my heart raced fast and the way that I found it slightly difficult to breathe whenever he was in sight was merely a coincidence or that I was feeling slightly unwell. However, I soon figured out that it was probably because I had realized the nature of the true feelings that I harbored for him."Excuse me. There's someone here to see you," Jenna said as she waved her hand in front of my face. I almost jumped out of my seat when I realized that she was standing so close to me. Before I realized what I was doing, I had already reached out for my phone and hid it away from her as if I had a secret that I needed to keep to myself."Is something the matter?" Jenna asked with a concerned look on her face."Oh, nothing. Bradon is…coming home for dinner," I mumbled."Did he tell you that? That's great, I'll make sure the chef cooks something special," Jenna said with a pleased smile. The way that she looked at me with that bright smile of hers and that knowing

Direct Experience
The way she was acting only made me even more curious about her true intentions. "I'm listening," I urged for her to tell me her side of the story."It was all me, none of him," Diana said before pressing her lips into a thin line."As in...?" I mumbled."Everything was planned by me, and Bradon knew nothing about it. He was pretty much the victim in the situation as well. I was the one who planned everything and made sure that you had to go out that day in my place," Diana began her confession before taking a pause."Go on," I urged patiently. Had I not connected the dots before this, I would have been in for quite a shock."I knew that Bradon was going to come to pick you up from the hospital on the day you were supposed to be discharged. So I purposefully set up a photoshoot with the magazine on that day, and I also pretended to be sick so that you would take my place. I knew that being the wonderful sister that you are, you would help me out," she said, her tone starting to sound

Tricky Love
I couldn't bring myself to respond to her, so Diana took charge in speculating about my feelings. Ironically, I thought that perhaps Diana had put into words my feelings better than I ever could. Seeing that I did not have anything to say in my own defense, Diana's lips curved into a knowing smile before she continued."You're in love with him, Leya. That's why it felt so unbearable for you and that's why you got jealous. I mean, you practically ran out of the room because you couldn't take it anymore," Diana stated her observation confidently. Had I not already realized my feelings towards Bradon at that point, I might have had the urge to say a couple of things in my own defense and say that there was no way I could possibly be in love with him."Is that why you did it? To somehow force me to realize my true feelings?" I asked softly. At that moment, I felt very calm inside, and my head felt surprisingly clear. If I had harbored any hard feelings against my sister, it felt like they

Life as a Shadow
It was one thing for me to have fallen in love with him, but a completely different matter altogether to expect Bradon to be in love with me as well. "How can you be so ridiculously blind? He is so in love with you. It is so obvious that I'm sure that everybody can tell as well just from looking at him and when the two of you are together. Everyone can see it as plain as day," Diana said with a sense of urgency and exasperation as if she couldn't understand why I didn't share her views."It's all just acting. Whenever we are together in public or when there are people around, he's just acting like Anthony would," I replied. When Diana shook her head softly from side to side, I could tell that she didn't believe a word I was saying, and for a moment, I felt like my words weren't truly convincing."I'm pretty sure that you can't even convince yourself with those words. What you're saying is not true, Leya, and you know it better than anybody else. Listen, if he doesn't care about you,

Always Been Him
"How is that possible? That's ridiculous," Diana mumbled, looking quite shocked."I know exactly how you feel. I was very stunned and shocked when he first told me as well. Honestly, I didn't believe it at first, but when I thought about it, I realized that he must be telling the truth. Even now, I still find it very hard to believe," I confessed truthfully."If what you're saying is true, then does that mean that the Anthony we met sometime in the past could have been Bradon?" Diana asked, tilting her head slightly to the side as if playing with the idea."Yes, I think that's what happened, although I have no idea when Bradon was actually taking Anthony’s place," I replied with an uneasy feeling inside. I suddenly felt an uncomfortable stirring sensation in the pit of my stomach and realized that I had started feeling extremely anxious. Diana kept on staring at me without saying a word as if she was thinking of something, and that made me feel even more unsettled than before."This i
