Chapter 1. My name is yours
It was late at night when Terence brought Althea home. He put her down on the bed gently and immediately look at her with disgust, he immediately went to a woman standing on the side of the bed and hugged and kissed her. Althea woke up but didn't open her eyes immediately. She was always vigilant in her surroundings so she listen but was taken aback when she heard what Terence and Amber were talking about. Althea frowned and didn't move she was shocked to hear them talking about her.
"Didnt I told you not to come here Amber, what will you say when she wake up."
"Who told her to be an attention grabber. She didn't even look at herself in the mirror. But I really miss you so I came. "
Althea opened her eyes a little and was surprised to see, the two in front of her were almost naked, it was dark because the light in the room was turned off but Althea could see what they were doing. He just shed tears at what he saw, he wanted to shout at the two, he wanted to show that she was awake but she could not move. She felt as if he was being stabbed repeatedly in the back and his heart was slowly breaking. Althea didn't know what she would do when she moved and faced the two so she restrained herself.
"Terence, the wedding is tomorrow. Do you really need to marry her. Just thinking about it made me want to throw up"
"Don't worry I'll make a way to delay the wedding."
"Alright."
"You know why I'm doing this, her family is rich and my company will be richer when he becomes my wife. Don't worry, no one will know that you are my real wife and she's just a mistress who seduced me."
They went to the bathroom and there they continued what they were doing earlier. Althea could hear Amber's moans on the bathroom, tears kept flowing in her eyes. She buried his face in the pillow so as not to make any noise. For these two years she has been loyal and faithful in their relationship with but little did she know that he was just using her. Just for money she left her family, she was right when her family told her especially when her brother told her that she will regret that she chose Terence over them. Now she realized all of it, she was betrayed a long time ago, she was so blind that she didn't see that Terence just was fooling her, all he wants was her family's money. She has always been Amber's assistant she always wear long sleeves and never let her legs be seen for some reason. Everyone said she's beautiful and smart. She knows five languages but even so she was still fooled by Terence. She regret it if only she listen to her maybe she's not the one crying in the bed right now.
Althea fell asleep while crying. She went unnoticed when two people slowly left her apartment. A shadow suddenly approached her and Althea's eyes slowly open when she feel that someone approach her, when she saw who it was her eyes immediately lit up. When he saw her face her tears flowed one after another he hugged her and patted her back while she was saying things in his ear. Althea regrets that she was able to disobey her sister who truly loved her an protected her all her life. When Althea woke up early she looked in the mirror and looked into his eyes. It was a bit swollen. She looked around the room when she remembered what had happened. She felt disgusted just by looking at her room. She put away her belongings and took a shower. After she took a bath, she put a little make -up on her face so that her eyes could not be seen, which are still swollen due to tears. He left the apartment and left his belongings in a hotel, he knew that Terence would not come to the Civil affairs Bureau but she still went. Maybe because in her heart there was still a little hope in him. He called him but no he didn't answer his phone. After so many tries finally someone answer but Althea eyes went cold immediately.
"Terence I'm already here where you are? why aren't you answering your phone? " she asked in a calm voice but her face was cold
She ask while refraining from shouting at him. She wanted to shout but she couldn't maybe because she finally saw what Terence truly is.
"I'm sorry Thea, there was an emergency in the studio. Can we just not sign a marriage contract today?"
"Ok let's break up my mom told me that my engagement with Zayd was not annulled yet and they are forcing me to marry him."
She said and hung up immediately. She wanted to cry because of her stupidity but she can't. She just sat there in a chair and calmed herself. Sge closed her eyes while remembering all those years she was with Terence. Now that she realized that it, Terence never been good to her she was the only one who thought that he was good. She then remembered the days when she and Terence were still together now she remembers every time they date Amber always appears in front of them but she treats it as a coincidence. Now she was enlightened and finally knew the reason. There's no such thing as that, there's no coincidence in this world. As she scolds herself and counts how many times he has been blind a girl with a face similar sit by her side.
"I called Mom and told her I will marry Zayd today and she agreed." Lorraine told Althea and hold her hand.
"You really love Zayd for a long time Lorraine so from now on my name will be yours. His your husband and not mine you just have my name."
"I know I'll be careful not to be discovered but you?"
"I'll go abroad to cool off my head, anyway I know you wanted to get revenge on Terence and his family but leave Terence to me when I get back."
Althea smile at her twins and immediately walk away. Lorraine was the only one sitting their everyone was busy with what they are doing that they didn't notice that Althea was really similar to Lorraine. They are like mirrors of each other without any flaws. Lorraine waited for an hour when a man in a suit walk in front of her and handed her a certificate. She wanted to smile but the man immediately glared at her.
"Don't expect that I will treat you like a wife I already have someone I like but your parents forced me to marry you." he said in a cold voice that could freeze anyone.
"I know." Lorraine said and immediately signed the paper and give it back to him.
Lorraine just sigh and felt heartbroken right now. It's been twenty years since she decided to be the shadow of her twin. Her family know she died in that accident years ago and only know that Althea was their only surviving daughter so they spoiled her truly and gave what she wanted. All these years she was protecting her family and her twin sister not noticing that the man she love all these years change into someone she didn't even know. He was cold and ruthless not giving anyone space to approach him. She never know that Zayd like someone and now that she knows she wanted to cry too but she restrained herself. Lorraine just wanted to be close to him but maybe it's impossible.
