{ Adams PoV}

Sophie stiffened in my arms as she took the sight of her family. Her coward sister and her useless boyfriend were sitting happily, chatting amongst themselves, whilst looking at their child.

The little boy was the first one to notice us. He looked at Sophie in confusion before turning back to look at his mother, than back to Sophie, than back to the bitch. He done that once again before he stuttered out,

" Momma?" In confusion whilst staring at Sophie.

Sophie tensed further in my arms and I clenched my jaw. I didn't like that she was uncomfortable.

There was silence in the room as Sophie's family finally realised we were here. Awkward glances passed amongst the seated people and I just got more angry, they were acting like Sophie and I were strangers.

" Sophie! Adam!" Blair, Sophies mother had to speak, the woman was always enthusiastic.

" Adam, I'd like you to meet my other daughter, Reyah and my son in law, Ethan," the short woman spoke joyfully, gesturing at them as she looked at me. Her eyes were filled with contentment and her lips curved to the max.

I nodded in her direction,
" I know, I've met them before." I briefly spoke , not caring whether or not I sounded rude . I didn't like them and I wasn't going to sugarcoat my actions for them.

" Oh you have!" Blair said, sounding confused but I didn't give a fuck. I just nodded in her direction not wanting to elaborate further.

" Adam, it's good to have you here. Please have a seat," William Delan spoke and I clenched my palm.
If only they weren't related to Sophie, they wouldn't even be worth wasting time on.

Feeling my clenched palm on her waist, Sophie clasped her own around mine and looked at me, it's fine, she nodded her head but it wasn't. I was fucking pissed ,
Only Adam.
No one had even fucking acknowledged Sophie.
Bastards!

I sat right next to Sophie, not caring whether I offended anyone. I wasn't leaving my woman alone with these useless people.

" Excuse me Miss but who are you?" The young boy said, scrunching his nose and furrowing his eyes. He looked exactly like the stiff older man in front of me. No wonder the old bastard liked him, the child had the same green eyes and black hair.

Sophie raised an eyebrow and I knew she was controlling herself from saying anything crude.

" Uh She's your aunty," Reyah said, clearing her throat.

I glared at her with my angry eyes. She was the complete opposite of My Sophie.
While my Sophie was confident and sophisticated, Reyah was a stuttering fool and a back-stabbing bitch.
I was so lucky that Sophie didn't get the green eyes like the bitch.

Sophie chuckled, a cold, unhumored chuckle,
"I'll rectify that Reyah," She said her voice distant, her eyes shielded,
"Hello Keyan, you can call me Sophie." She said gently, turning her gaze to the little boy.

The boy smiled back at Sophie and I could relate the mischievous smile so much to Sophie's. She returned his smile with a straight lipped one and I knew She was uncomfortable .
If only we hadn't have come.

"Let's have some dessert now, shall we?" Blair said walking in with a bowl and some side plates . The smell hit my nostrils and I almost cringed, Apple crusted pie.

I tapped Sophie's thigh, asking her to come closer to me and that's when I breathed better.
Goodness, her smell was my cure!

" Would you like to eat some Adam?" Blair asked and I was ready to leave the house at that instant only.
These fuckers were obsessed more about me then Sophie.

" No!" I said harshly, " I'm allergic to anything related to apples," I indirectly hinted at the bitch and the gasp that followed was precious .

Sophie pinched my thigh and when I looked at her, she glared , behave she said whilst widening her eyes and narrowing her brows but I wasn't going to listen.
When did I ever.

" I love apples," the little boy said, gaining back everyone's attention.

" Come on Keyan, lets go to sleep. Its past your bed time," Ethan said.

" I'll take him," William said, Carrying the boy in his arms away from us.
Yeah, the best option to run from an awkward confrontation from Sophie and I.

I was curios and I'm sure even Sophie must've been on how they already settled here

We were silent for a few more minutes and it was boring as fuck. The bitch and that Ethan dude just kept staring at My Sophie.

" If you're done with your staring, you can explain" Sophie spoke, breaking the tensed silence of the room. The couple exchanged looks with each other before Reyah spoke.

" Urm.. I bumped into Papa outside your office. ," she began talking, clearing her throat for the millionth time.
Pathetic.

"....He thought I was you, and dropped me home." Sophie raised an eyebrow, listening to Reyah attentively.

"Then Mama got to know from Papa and she came to my house and forced me to come back here," She finished talking and I clenched my jaw.
What was she thinking?
Just because she looked like Sophie, she behaved like her too.
No fucking way,
Sophie was far better than her.

" Interesting," Sophie muttered and I smirked at the sarcastic answer.

My seductress could not only kill with her looks, but also with her words.

{ Sophie's PoV}

"Interesting," I muttered as I looked at my sister. I knew my words hurt her but I cared not. The hurt she gave me was far more than what a few words were.

Just 3 days and my elder sister is already back in the house.
Was I surprised?
Obviously no , I knew the moment she stepped foot in Adams office, my father would know and he'd turn the world upside down before he'd get his princess. It was just a matter of time before she'd reach here.

I wonder how different my life would be if Reyah didn't suffer from Von WilleBrand. I turned my gaze to the crackling wood and watched the slow flames.
Would our lives be the same?
Or would they be better?
Or worse?

Yes, Reyah suffers from VWB .
She suffers from a disorder where her blood cannot clot. Her blood lacks the proteins which closes a wound and therefore the chances of her bleeding to death is high.
No wonder my parents love her too much.

Am I jealous?
Absolutely Not! After actually witnessing what had happened, I don't think I'd ever want to be in place of my twin.
It was an unforgettable incident which my father blamed himself for.

It happened when we were six years old . Reyah and I, the naughty kids, were helping my father fix his old BMW car. We sipped on some fruit juice and sat with oversized hats. We were bothering our father and laughing in the afternoon sun.
Those were the times when we weren't rich, the times when we were Happy.

We were annoying our father so much that when he had had enough, he told us to help him get a spanner from the store room. In the dark, Reyah bumped over a few boxes and tripped, not realising the cut she had on her inner thigh.
Then after that it was all chaos.
I remember Reyah complaining she was feeling sick, her turning a pale colour and the next thing, she fell down cold .

We rushed her to the hospital whilst her blood kept gushing. My mother covered her leg with a bandage but the blood stopped not. In fact, her pale blue shorts had turned red and blood kept dripping down her leg.

My parents and I were so clueless and scared. We hadn't even known she had Von WilleBrande until after Doctor Wiliam explained to us. My parents since then have been extra cautious with Reyah.

"Should we go now?" Adam asked , breaking my train of thoughts. I turned to look at him and I saw the discomfort in his eyes, I felt sorry for him.

I nodded in his direction and stood up. I looked at Reyah and Ethan and felt my gut clench. Once upon a time, they were the reason behind my happiness but now, they were the pain.
It's right when they say best friends stab your back harder than anyone else.

I nodded at both of them, too tired to make an effort, and walked along with Adam to the door. I wanted to get home as soon as possible.

" I hate the fact that you had to experience that," Adam growled, fisting his palm as we walked out of the door.

" It wasn't bad." I told him, giving him a small smile. I was going to experience the unfortunate meeting, eventually on a today or a tomorrow so I'm glad I got it over and done with.
Better sooner than later.

" Yes! It was fucking awful." Adam groaned and I laughed. We just took a step down a stair and I heard Reyahs voice,

" Sophie! Soph!" I turned around at her screaming.

" Could you please wait a moment?" She asked breathless and I felt a little bad. She had desperation written all over her face and feeling guilty for making her run, I nodded in her direction.

" I'm coming in a sec." I told Reyah before turning to look at Adam, who had his eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

" I think I'll have to stay the night." I told Adam nervously. I watched his nose flare and his eyes turn a darker shade. His eyes pinning me down with his intense stormy eyes.

" No you won't!" He growled, taking a step closer to me and I moved a step back, I wasn't going to listen to him.

" I have to." I told him, raising my chin

" I'm not going to leave you with a bunch of pathetic people," he said talking lowly. Venom spit from his every word but I had to stay.

I narrowed my eyes and stared back right at him.

" Too bad cause I want to ." I told him before turning and heading back to the house.

I had some unfinished business to deal with and if he was around, I'll never get round to doing it.

I felt his intense glare on my back but I wasn't going to turn to look back at him. I continued walking and sighed in relief when I didn't hear his footsteps. And just before I held the door handle, long fingers wrapped around my upper arm, pulling me back and angry lips crashed against mine.

Adan assaulted my lips yet I didn't open my mouth. That just pissed Adam further. He bit my upper lip hard but my mouth stayed shut.
I wasn't going to let him win,

" Consider this your first and last time," he growled lowly in my ear, accepting defeat , "..then you'll never return to this hell hole."

I looked at him, his grey eyes were filled with blazing anger. I nodded in his direction and his lips once again descended on mine. His fingers found their way to my hair pulling the band out and just before I could get more hot and bothered, I moved away.

" Go." I told him and he clenched his jaw. I watched his angry strides out until he drove out of the yard, furious and hasty.

I shock my head, looking at the night sky, hopefully, I made the right decision to stay.
