Huh?" Bella got a bit confused. "You asked a question, I answered it, you are welcome" Mia pointed her index fingers upwards and bent it towards herself. "Oh, it was a rhetorical question." Mia looked down in disappointment after she noticed the way Grace and Juliet stared at her. "I guess I will leave you girls to handle your own problems. Bye Mia" Bella waved Mia bye. "Bye" innocent Mia replied. "Seriously Mia, can't you tell the difference between when you are supposed to talk and when you aren't"

Twins love Chapter 1 Hurtful deceit

Backstage

" I really don't understand her at all. She was the one that was so excited about everything yet she is nowhere to be found, what are going to do now?. It would look like we completely chickened out of the competition if we didn't perform today.'' Disappointed Grace buried her head in her palms as she sat on the chair in front of the mirror.

Bella stood from a distance watching them and enjoying the torture, but she wasn't satisfied just yet. She wanted to rub more salt on their wounds, she felt like it was a necessity.

"What's wrong?" Bella walked over to the girls and asked slowly, pretending as if she cared.

"We cannot find Lakshmi, it is a predicament because we need her if not the girls won't be able to perform" innocent Mia quickly blurted out.

Bella scoffed at how innocent Mia really could be, she just smiled and looked at Juliet.

"I'm so sorry you are in such a dilemma. At least she could have told you that she would be ditching you girls rather than leaving you to face this kind of shame.

I suggest you quickly go and whisper to the organizers that you want to cancel , if not they will call you guys out and what will happen then if you are unable to perform?" Bella was trying her best to mock them in a false kind of care. It was really very painful for both Juliet and Grace.

"Then they will be disqualified," Mia answered.

"Huh?" Bella got a bit confused.

"You asked a question, I answered it, you are welcome" Mia pointed her index fingers upwards and bent it towards herself.

"Oh, it was a rhetorical question." Mia looked down in disappointment after she noticed the way Grace and Juliet stared at her.

"I guess I will leave you girls to handle your own problems. Bye Mia" Bella waved Mia bye.

"Bye" innocent Mia replied.

"Seriously Mia, can't you tell the difference between when you are supposed to talk and when you aren't" Grace's eyes were widened, although she wasn't too shocked about Mia's behavior. From the little time she had spent with her, she had gone to know about Mia's rare condition.

"Grace, you have to forget that. We need to think of how we can get a hold of Lakshmi or at least get out of this mess" Juliet drew Grace's attention.

"So we should go with Bella's idea?" grace suggested

"No, that is not an option, we have to go find her now before the competition starts. It might be that she is in some kind of trouble, Lakshmi wouldn't just leave us like this" juliet was trying to be realistic and hopeful.

It was too late, they had officially started the competition and the first performers were already on stage but the girls weren't ready to back down yet. They began their search for Lakshmi but for some reason they didn't check the janitor's closet.

Mia remembered her father's words and wondered if she could call on him now, would he answer?. She shrugged and felt like there was no harm in trying so she went to the bathroom and stood in front of the mirror as her father had instructed her to do previously.

"Dad" she called out but she didn't get a reply, she was going to give up but then she heard a voice.

"Yes Mia darling, what is it you want!" Her father spoke to her, she looked at the mirror and saw his reflection

"Dad.. Lakshmi" Mia didn't even finish her sentence when her dad interrupted her.

"You can't find Lakshmi right?" Her dad smiled and the way he smiled clearly told Mia that he knew where she was.

"Yes, can you please tell me where she is? She has worked so hard for this competition, I don't want her to lose before she even tries" Mia was trying to plead with her father.

"I know where she is Mia but unfortunately I cannot tell you where she is right now" her father immediately declined her request, Mia was more than sad.

" You will find her at the right time. Just keep your heart open and listen to it" her father advised her but she didn't clearly understand what he meant by keeping her heart open, was he expecting her to rip her chest open and bring out her heart? Mia always had funny thoughts and her dad could hear her thoughts loud and clear.

"That is not what I meant Mia but you will understand what I mean when the time is right. Take care of yourself, I have to go now and don't forget to listen to your heart" with those words his reflection completely vanished from the mirror. Mia quickly left the bathroom as she knew that staying in there any longer would be of no use to her.

"Who were you talking to?" Grace asked Mia who had bumped into her as she was coming out of the bathroom. Mia kept on looking at random things, she couldn't fix her eyes at a place, she couldn't lie as well, she doesn't know how to lie due to her condition.

"Did you find Lakshmi?" Juliet ran towards the ladies and they gave her a no as the answer. She leaned on the wall, she had lost all hope.

Not just her but Grace as well they didn't want to miss the entire competition, they felt like they at least had to go watch other performers if they were unable to perform themselves.

They had announced for Lakshmi's team named "unique" to come out and perform but since no one came out, they skipped them and other performers came on stage.

The competition was almost over, the last team to perform was "fire" Bella's team. They had performed so well that they scored 26 out of 30 which was the highest mark so far, it was obvious that they were going to win if they had enough support from the Audience as well.

Because the audience were to vote and their votes carried a total of 20 marks which was to be added to whatever the participants would score to get a total of 50 marks.

Although participants got to find out on the day of the competition, Bella had been aware of that fact since her dad was one of the organizers of the competition, he was a shareholder in the school and that's why she had been performing in front of her school mates throughout their practical weeks.

Grace and Juliet lowered their heads in disappointment, they had lost already.

The heavy thud of the release stamp was the only goodbye I got from the warden after five years in federal prison. I stepped out into the blinding sun, expecting the same flash of paparazzi bulbs that had seen me dragged away in handcuffs, but there was only a single black limousine idling on the shoulder of the road. Inside sat my mother and sister, clutching champagne and looking at my frayed coat with pure disgust. They didn't offer a welcome home; instead, they tossed a thick legal document onto the table and told me I was dead to the city. "Gavin and I are getting engaged," my sister Mia sneered, flicking a credit card at me like I was a stray dog. "He doesn't need a convict ex-fiancée hanging around." Even after I saved their lives from an armed kidnapping attempt by ramming the attackers off the road, they rewarded me by leaving me stranded in the dirt. When I finally ran into Gavin, the man who had framed me, he pinned me against a wall and threatened to send me back to a cell if I ever dared to show my face at their wedding. They had stolen my biotech research, ruined my name, and let me rot for half a decade while they lived off my brilliance. They thought they had broken me, leaving me with nothing but an expired chapstick and a few old photos in a plastic bag. What they didn't know was that I had spent those five years becoming "Dr. X," a shadow consultant with five hundred million dollars in crypto and a secret that would bring the city to its knees. I wasn't just a victim anymore; I was a weapon, and I was pregnant with the heir they thought they had erased. I walked into the Melton estate and made an offer to the most powerful man in New York. "I'll save your grandfather's life," I told Horatio Melton, staring him down. "But the price is your last name. I'm taking back what's mine, and I'm starting with the man who thinks he's marrying my sister."

One Night With The Wrong Brother

I thought I was waking up in the arms of Arthur, the man I loved. But as the morning light hit the Hamptons estate, the man buttoning his cuffs by the window turned around with eyes like chips of ice. It was Augustus Riddle, Arthur’s cruel younger brother, and I had just spent the night whispering confessions of love into the wrong man's ear. The night I thought was a beautiful beginning turned into a devastating nightmare. Instead of comfort, Gus treated me like a stain on his expensive carpet, scribbling a check for "services rendered" before shoving me into a dark service corridor to hide my existence from his brother. "How much does it cost to buy your silence?" He sneered, before leaving me barefoot in a torrential downpour while he drove away in a luxury Cadillac. Four years later, I am a struggling actress in Los Angeles, working double shifts as a barista just to keep the lights on. My life was finally stable until my roommate dragged me to a high-end dinner to meet her new "influential" boyfriend. The man sitting at the table, looking more arrogant and lethal than ever, was Augustus. He spent the entire night humiliating me, calling me a pathetic amateur and a social climber in front of my only friends. When I fled into the rain and collapsed on the sidewalk, skinning my knee until I bled, he watched from his car. He saw me clutching a plastic baggie containing the taped-together pieces of that four-year-old check—the only proof of my shame. He looked at me like roadkill, rolled up his window, and drove off into the dark. I couldn't understand why he was doing this. Why did he hate me enough to crush me, yet remember that I couldn't handle the smell of cigarette smoke? Why did he leave me bleeding in the street, only to send expensive medical supplies and coffee to my door the very next morning? "I'm moving out." I told my roommates, realizing that Gus Riddle didn't just want to destroy me; he wanted to haunt me. I grabbed my suitcase and walked out with eighty dollars to my name, finally ready to disappear into the city before he could burn the rest of my life to the ground.

I sat on the edge of the examination table, the crinkle of the sanitary paper sounding like thunder in the sterile room. The doctor didn't even look at me as he confirmed the news: the pregnancy was over. My husband, Keyon, didn't answer my call. He just sent an automated text: "In a meeting." When I returned to our cold mansion, I found his iPad glowing with a message from his "muse," Katina. He was throwing her a secret gala tonight-on our third wedding anniversary. He told her he couldn't wait to escape the "boring" and "draining" atmosphere I created at home. Keyon didn't stumble in until 3 AM, smelling of Katina's perfume with a smear of red on his collar. When I handed him the divorce papers, he laughed in my face. He called me a "glorified housekeeper" with no skills and no future, promising I'd be back in three days begging for a subway ticket. He even bet his friends ten thousand dollars that I wouldn't survive a week without his name. He had his assistant cancel my credit cards and block my gate access before I even reached the end of the driveway. He wanted me to starve. He wanted me to crawl. He sat in his office, mocking the "desperate" woman who pawned her three-million-dollar wedding ring for scrap metal just to pay for a meal. I stood on the rainy curb, watching the man I had protected for three years treat my life like trash. He didn't know about the ultrasound I just threw in the bin. He didn't know that while he was calling me "dull," I was the one secretly writing the code that kept his billion-dollar empire from collapsing. As I slid into a cheap Uber, I opened a hidden, encrypted app on my phone. The screen refreshed to a dashboard for an account Keyon didn't know existed. The balance was ten figures long-the accumulated wealth of "Solaris," the world's most elusive tech genius. Keyon thinks he just evicted a parasite, but he's about to find out he just declared war on the only person who can hit "delete" on his entire life.

Secret Triplets: The Billionaire's Second Chance

I stood at my mother’s open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest’s voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone—he brought Charla with him. He claimed she’d had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.
