Twin Switch: He Picked The Shadow

Synopsis

My twin sister, Lilian Sterling, was arranged to marry Ethan Goodman. It was a merger disguised as marriage. Instead, she ran away in the middle of the night to reunite with her childhood sweetheart, Henry Smith. Before she left, she begged me through tears, "Vivian, just three months. Pretend to be me until Henry fixes his company issues and comes for me." I stared at our identical reflection in the mirror and nodded before I could stop myself. From that day on, I lived as Lilian. I slept beside Ethan every night. Ethan was gentle and attentive, with a body that felt sculpted from marble and hands that knew exactly where to touch; even his kisses left me breathless. I began to believe I could keep this stolen life, this stolen happiness, forever. Then Lilian returned. "Vivian, I want my life back. Henry was only using me. I finally know who really cares about me." She rushed into Ethan's arms, while I was pushed aside, left like some invisible fool, someone who didn't even deserve to be seen. That night, I packed my bags, planning to leave quietly. But as I turned around, I found myself staring into Ethan's bloodshot eyes. He squeezed my chin, his voice rough and terrifying. "Think you can run away after having your fun? "You think putting on Lilian's dress and pretending I'm her husband could ever hide you from me?"
