Under the protection of my twin brother

Chapter 18

Harvey sat in his office, looking out the window thoughtfully. Outside the window, the landscape was bleak, gray clouds hanging over the ground, the wind bending the branches of the trees. But Harvey didn't notice the beauty or squalor of the surroundings — his mind was on only one person: Sarah.

He couldn't accept that she'd chosen Tod, her twin brother, over him. A mixture of anger, jealousy, and despair raged in his soul. Harvey believed that Sarah should belong to him, and nothing could shake his confidence in this.

She's just confused, he told himself. "Tod drugged her with his sweet talk and false promises. But I will show her who is worthy of her love."

Harvey began to develop a new plan. He knew that earlier attempts to win Sarah over had been futile, and now he needed to approach the matter more carefully, taking into account all the possible risks and nuances. His mind, sharp and calculating, was already building chains of events that would lead to the desired result.

Harvey's first priority was to gather as much information as possible about Tod and Sarah's relationship. He hired private detectives to keep an eye on the twins and report on all their actions, conversations, and feelings. Detectives had to identify weaknesses in their relationship, possible conflicts and disagreements.

At the same time, Harvey was thinking about how he could use Evelyn for his own purposes. He knew that she, too, had her own plans and ambitions, and perhaps she could be won over to her side, or at least forced to act in accordance with his plans.

Harvey also decided to increase the pressure on the twins ' family to create unfavorable conditions for Sarah and Tod and sow discord between them. He started spreading gossip and rumors about their "unusual" relationship, hoping that public opinion would make Sarah rethink her choice.

In addition, Harvey planned to arrange several provocations that would cast doubt on Tod's reliability in Sarah's eyes. He planned to arrange situations in which Tod would appear weak, indecisive, or even a traitor. Harvey hoped that this would undermine Sarah's trust in her brother and open the way for him to reach her heart.

At the same time, Harvey did not forget about his own charms. He decided to go more often to places where Sarah could be, to show off his best qualities, generosity and care. Harvey hoped that Sarah would remember how he had always been there for her, supporting her, and trying to make her happy.

But deep down, Harvey knew that his feelings for Sarah weren't just passion or possession. He really loved her, and the thought of her being with Tod forever hurt him almost physically. This pain spurred him on, forcing him to look for more and more ways to win her love.

As the days passed, Harvey gradually put his plans into practice. The detectives regularly delivered him reports describing the romantic moments between Sarah and Tod. With each new report, Harvey became more and more convinced that he had to act more decisively.

One day, he decided to arrange a private meeting with Sarah. Harvey chose a cozy restaurant in a quiet corner of the city, where no one could disturb them or overhear their conversation. When Sarah arrived, Harvey got up from the table and gallantly offered her his arm to help her sit down.

"Sarah, I can't keep quiet any longer," he began, looking her straight in the eye. — I know you're with Tod now, but my feelings for you haven't faded. I still love you and want to be with you.

Sarah looked at him a little sadly and shook her head.

"Harvey, you're a good person, and I appreciate your friendship and feelings," she said softly. "But my heart belongs to Tod now. I can't change my feelings.

Harvey clenched his fists, trying to control his anger. He understood that it was important not to lose his composure and continue the dialogue.

"You just don't see how unsuitable Tod is for you," he said. — Your relationship is a madness that will only lead to grief and disappointment. You deserve a better future than being with your own brother.

Sarah sighed and looked out the window, as if searching for answers.

"I understand your concerns, Harvey," she said at last. — But I'm sure of my feelings and that Tod is my destiny.

Harvey felt a surge of rage inside him, but he managed to control his emotions.

"All right," he said through gritted teeth. — I'll give you some time to think. But remember that I will always be there for you and ready to support you when you realize that you were wrong.

After this meeting, Harvey became even more confident in the need to act decisively. He realized that he needed to find a way to break up Sarah and Tod's relationship before it got too far. His plans were becoming increasingly sophisticated and dangerous, and no one could predict what consequences they would lead to.

Meanwhile, Harvey continued to watch the twins for any signs of weakness or conflict between them. He prepared the ground for his further actions, not suspecting that his own steps could lead to unexpected and tragic consequences.

Every day Harvey woke up thinking of Sarah, and every day his determination to get her grew. He was willing to do anything for his love, even if it meant going against morals and the law. His soul was torn between wanting to be with Sarah and knowing that his methods could be disastrous for everyone involved in this drama.

But love, as you know, is blind, and Harvey could not stop. His tricks became more insidious and his plans more dangerous. He walked on the edge of the abyss, not noticing how he was trapped in his own ambitions and feelings.

And while Harvey plotted, Sarah and Tod tried to live their own lives, enjoying every moment they spent together. They knew that the world would not be kind to their union, but they were ready to face any challenges for the sake of their love.

It wasn't until one of Harvey's tricks came to fruition that it changed the course of events forever.

Evelyn sat in the dim room, looking out the window at the bleak city landscape. Her face was hard, and her eyes were determined. She was well aware that the twins were a serious threat to her. Their relationship, their secret plans-all of this could destroy her carefully constructed plans. Evelyn wasn't going to give in to them without a fight.

In her heart of hearts, she despised Sarah and Tod for their naivete and carelessness. "They think their love is power," Evelyn mused. — But I'll show them what real power is." I will destroy their illusions and put them in their place."

Evelyn began to develop a plan to spy on the twins. She hired several private detectives to collect information about every move Sarah and Tod made. Detectives had to record their meetings, conversations, even the most insignificant details of everyday life. Evelyn wanted to know everything from what books they read to what words they whisper to each other before going to bed.

In addition to detectives, Evelyn used other methods of gathering information. She bribed servants, bellboys, and even random passers - by to report any suspicious activities of the twins. Her network of informants grew by the day, covering every corner of the city.

Evelyn often wondered how Sarah and Tod could have taken their own safety so lightly. It's like living in a fairy tale, she thought. "They don't notice the threats, they don't see the traps I set." But deep down, Evelyn recognized that gemini's love was a force to be reckoned with. And that was why she had to be careful, calculating, and not leave any room for error.

Every day Evelyn became more and more involved in her own devious schemes. She studied the detectives ' reports, analyzed the information received, and looked for weaknesses in the relationship between Sarah and Tod. It seemed to her that if she found a gap in their alliance, she could destroy it, sow discord, and eventually destroy the twins as a threat to her plans.

One day, Evelyn found out that Sarah and Tod were planning a trip to the country house. This seemed like a great opportunity for her to take action. She decided to make sure that the twins were in a vulnerable position, and then strike a decisive blow. Evelyn began to prepare a trap, considering every step, every detail.

She contacted several people she could trust and assigned them specific tasks: some to block escape routes, some to create the appearance of danger, others to monitor the twins ' every move. Evelyn thought through every detail, leaving no room for chance.

Meanwhile, she continued to follow Sarah and Tod, learning their habits, routines, and preferences. Evelyn noticed the way they looked at each other, the way they held hands, the way they whispered sweet words. Hatred bubbled up in her heart. They think their love is stronger than anything else in the world, Evelyn thought. "But I'll prove them wrong."

Evelyn was also trying to figure out how to use Harvey for her own purposes. She knew about his feelings for Sarah and thought that might be the weak link in the twins ' chain. Evelyn decided to gently push Harvey to take more action, so that he would work for her without knowing it.

As the days passed, Evelyn got closer and closer to implementing her plan. She could feel the power and control of the situation gradually slipping into her hands. But at the same time, Evelyn knew that the twins were not easy rivals. They are smart, determined, and willing to do anything for their love. Still, Evelyn was confident of success. Her intentions were firm, and her desire to win was indomitable.

One evening, after receiving another report from the detectives, Evelyn realized that the moment of truth was near. She found out about the secret place where the twins often met, and decided to use this information for her own purposes. Evelyn devised a plan that she felt would put an end to Sarah and Tod's influence on her life.

But for now, she kept her plans a secret. Evelyn waited for the right moment to strike. There was a fire of determination in her eyes, and a coldness of calculation in her heart. She was ready for any trials, for any sacrifices to achieve her goal.

The twins went on with their lives, enjoying every moment they spent together. They were unaware of the storm that was coming at them, of Evelyn's devious schemes, of the traps she was setting in their way. Their love was their strength, but also their vulnerability. And Evelyn was going to take full advantage of that vulnerability.

It wasn't until fate brought the twins and Evelyn together in a showdown where everything was at stake: love, freedom, and life. But it was only a matter of time. Evelyn had already taken the first step toward her victory, and she wasn't going to back down.
