The Twin's Forbidden Desire

Chapter 1

Sophie

Finally, I managed to get rid of Alexander’s arm, with the excuse of using the bathroom, I completely ducked. Too many people had congratulated me and tried to approach me and I had already understood what the purpose of many of them was.

So I walked into the bathroom and locked myself in it.

The bathroom on that floor was large, made all of white marble with a mirror shower on the right side, in front of it was the sink with a mirror and I walked there.

I put my palms on the sink and dropped my head forward, encased in my shoulders as I closed my eyes and tried to take deep breaths.

The party had been going on for at least two hours but I already wanted to run away. Was that what was waiting for me for the rest of my life? The one I was supposed to be on with the man?

Alexander hung around with his chest swollen like a peacock, his hand comfortably resting on my bare back as he introduced me to every partner with his f*****g voice that made me want to throw up.

His hand on my back had been rough and had caused me a feeling of discomfort, my skin had tingled and I had resorted to all the forces I had in my body not to tear it off.

Worst of all, I wasn’t even allowed to talk. Alexander made sure of it.

When he gave me the earrings, he recommended my behavior for the evening. I should have stayed by his side and only talked when I was asked, smiled and thanked everyone.

Like I’m a f*****g doll.

I wasn’t a f*****g doll, all I wanted to do was scream at the top of my lungs and smash all that stupid junk that covered that stupid house.

Everything inside of me begged me to rebel, but I didn’t. I would remain impassive and let him touch me and brag to his friends that he had captured a marvelous person like me.

What blackmail can do.

I took a deep breath and lifted my head, looking in the mirror. The one who looked back at me was not me. She was an unknown who sold herself, who would soon donate her body to a man, just for money.

I felt the tears rising in my eyes but I held them back, looking up to the ceiling and breathing deeply.

I would never let him break me. I would never give in. I was not weak.

I would have done my part, saved my father, and lived as long as Alexander would have lived, fulfilling every lousy fantasy of his.

You can do it Sof, you’re smart and strong. You’ll get through this, too.

Even though I didn’t want to get over it. I was in my 20s, I was supposed to spend an evening with my friends getting drunk and f*****g with someone in the back of a car, not being presented as the trophy of an old man who wanted to have his d**k inside a 20-year-old.

I felt my stomach turn around and I bent down onto the sink to throw up. I groaned and choked and rejected all the champagne I had drunk.

After I finished, I opened the faucet and rinsed my mouth and washed my hands. I took one last look in the mirror and then decided to go out and face the masses of those hypocrites in suits again.

I opened the door and I hit a mass of muscles. I slammed my face into it and I went back, almost falling, but a hand on my arm held me and put me back on my feet.

I looked up and collided with the most beautiful green eyes I had ever seen, I noticed the blue spot in a pupil and immediately knew who it was.

"Noah," I said in a whisper as he frowned.

"Who says I'm not Ethan?" he replied.

"The hairstyle and you have a spot in a pupil," I replied, bending my head to the side.

"Very observant," he replied, almost amused.

"Do you need the bathroom?" I asked.

"I hope you’re not pregnant," he replied.

"What?"

"I heard you throw up and I hope for you that you’re not pregnant, my brother and I will never give up what is rightfully ours, not even for a half-brother," he said seriously.

"What’s wrong with you?" I asked him to push me out and walk down the hall.

I didn’t get very far because Noah grabbed my wrist and turned me around, causing me to collide again with his muscular chest.

"Listen to me, I was not born yesterday. I know exactly what you aspire to and I also know why our father chose you, but I repeat, if you get pregnant and want to give him a child, I strongly advise you not to give him our surname or you will pay dearly. Was I clear?" he asked.

His perfume invaded my senses and made my legs tremble slightly.

"I don’t understand," I said, stunned by his look that had nailed me right where I was at the time.

I stopped breathing for a moment, completely clouded by his presence, which in a way reassured me, even though he was practically threatening me.

Noah looked at me for a moment, a time when my heart was pounding, then he sighed and went over me and left. Immediately I panicked, I didn’t want her to leave thinking that I was pregnant or even giving my body to her father.

"I’m not pregnant," I said, turning around, and he froze, looking over my shoulder.

"I hope so for you, take precautions when you get f****d by him," he said, almost with disgust.

"I don’t get..." I started to say it, then I froze and sighed, "He never touched me," I said then.

For a moment, I saw the surprise on his face, but he masked immediately.

"I wonder what you’re waiting for to seal your deal," he said almost with acidity.

"Have you ever heard of not judging a book by its cover?" I said with acidity.

He turned slightly with his body and raised an eyebrow with surprise "So you mean you didn’t agree to marry him just for the money?" he asked me.

"I didn’t say that," I said, mortified.

"At least you’re honest and don’t pretend to be in love like everyone else," he said, "Why did you accept?" he asked me.

I looked at him for a moment, then shook my head, "Forget it," I said, turning around and turning my back.

I remained silent and suddenly my back tingled, then I felt the tip of his fingers on my back going up to my hair, moving them to the side, then his breath touched my ear, making me shiver all over my body and tighten my thighs to prevent falling to the ground. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the scent that enveloped me completely.

"When you open your legs, try not to get pregnant to secure his fortune, because you won’t have it," he said in a whisper to my ear.

I opened my eyes and I turned to talk to him but he was already gone, leaving me alone with a tingling between my legs and my heart in my throat.

***********

After the meeting with Noah, I went back to the bathroom to calm down and throw a few drops of cold water on me to remedy the heat that his proximity had created.

God, what is wrong with me?

I went back to the main room and found Alexander still talking. Fortunately, he had not even noticed my absence, so I approached the buffet with the intent of eating something and calming the grumbling that seemed to want to destroy my stomach.

I took a taste of everything when my body suddenly became alert, a shiver ran down my back. I sensed a presence next to me and I turned my head, meeting Ethan, who had eyes on finger food on the table.

I was blown away.

Being so close to him was almost asphyxiating. Unlike Noah, Ethan’s hair was messed up on his head, completely messy.

"You seem comfortable with the rich," he commented, and I frowned, "Being placed as a trophy by an old rich man in exchange for all his money," he said aggressively.

Noah had had a calmer tone in talking to me, while Ethan, I could feel anger in him.

I turned my eyes and puffed.

"What? The truth bothers you?" he asked, frowning.

"Prejudice bothers me," I commented back to the food.

"Prejudices? So you didn’t agree to marry him for the money?"

"Assume I want his money because I want to be rich or to get my hands on his fortune out of selfishness," I said without looking at him.

"Isn’t that so?" he asked, turning to me.

"No!" I threw some fingerballs on my plate.

He looked at me surprised, pleasantly surprised.

"Everyone always thinks the worst of a person, but no one has ever stopped to ask her: why did she decide to throw your life away at only twenty years to be with a man who could be your father?!" I snapped without being able to contain myself, and then I realized that I had attracted the attention of several people who were now looking at me with curiosity.

My body trembled with anger, so I decided to lay the plate on the table and then sigh, dropping my shoulders. I sighed and looked for a moment at Ethan, who seemed to expect some reaction from me, as if he was enjoying my misfortunes. I didn’t even deign to answer him, I just moved away and went towards Alexander, I approached him and took advantage of the moment when he was alone.

"I’m not feeling very well, can I leave you alone?" I asked softly.

He looked at me for a moment, then sighed and nodded. I stretched out and left a kiss on his cheek and then turned around and went up the stairs back to my room. The whole time, I had the feeling that someone was looking at me like that. When I reached the top, I turned my head, finding the twins looking at me, one on one side and one on the other.

Ethan gave me a smug smile and I lifted the champagne cup towards me, while Noah looked at me without expression.

I sighed and went to my room, locking the door behind me.

Once in the room, I let myself slide to the ground and I brought my knees to my chest, finally leaving free the tears that threatened me all evening.

That was my life from then on.
