It was just two years ago that the Cintron twins graduated from the university, they both studied fashion design together. Adele decided to study fashion design but because of Adaline's disorder, she was asked to study fashion design along with her twin and she obliged without any further questioning.
Though fashion designing was suggested to Adaline by her parent, she still did well and excelled.
Adaline and Adele were a pair of identical twins, opposite of themselves. Adele was known to love people acknowledging and praising her like a goddess, she always had a warm and lovely smile on her beautiful face that was no different from Adaline.
Adaline was a dumb girl, she was always mute and was known to always be alone with a poker face giving out no emotion on her expressionless face. It was as if she hated her presence being known and if she and Adele made an appearance in public gatherings together, it was always Adele who caught the attention while she was like an unwanted background and a cold statue.
Although they were identical, they could still be differentiated, Adaline had charcoal black hair, very long reaching the middle of her buttocks, dark soulless eyes that could never let out a smile or emotion, all it did was look and close for a night of sleep.
Adele had chocolate brown hair, which was just in the middle of her back, wavy and shiny, she had light brown eyes that shone brightly whenever she smiled heartily in contentment.
Inside a bedroom that gave off a girlish vibe, it was painted in cream and gold and a touch of peach, a very wide room with a walk-in closet. On the queen-size bed, two figures sat on the bed while the older one tries to pacify the younger who was nothing but her sweet daughter.
Being denied what she wanted after so many pleas and tears, she was devastated and sad, all she wanted was to get married to the man of her dreams, she never asked for anything much. She was the best, was more lovely, the only one bringing good attention and respect to her family but why was it so hard to get what she wanted? Her twin sister who came second after her in everything as she had always thought was made to get married to the legendary Mr Drew, was the same person she had fantasized about getting married to.
Not many people had the privilege of seeing the face of the CEO of The Euston's Corporations, not many had seen him but so many rumours surrounded him, known as a heartless man, a cold-blooded devil, a psychopath and many more to mention but a few. The people who never had the pleasure of seeing him always deduced that he was an ugly potbellied short man in his 60s or 50s but it turns out that they were wrong because Adele Cintron, the beauty that stole people's breath away with her smiles had seen him with her own two eyes and being awestruck was not good enough to describe how she felt that night she saw him.
That very night, as usual, was one of the nights she and her twin followed their father Mr Thom for a dinner party, a lot of influential and business elites around the country attended the gathering but it was a mystery who threw the dinner party.
Adele got the attention and praises she always wanted and Adaline just sat low-key in a quiet chair, They did so many chattings and laughter in merry, making toasts and greeting both old and new friends. Adele had felt the urge to pee so she excused herself with her usual happy energy and left for the bathroom but on her way passing the hallway to the bathroom, she heard a female voice and the sound of a stiletto hitting the marble floor as the person ran with urgency but something else caught her interest, it was the word coming out of the lady's mouth, the lady was wearing typical office wear, she held a mobile phone that was flashing lights as she ran approaching a person as she said the words, 'Mr Drew! You have an emergency call that needs your attention now, Mr Drew!'
Out of mere curiosity, Adele turned her head towards the direction the lady was running and she saw a very handsome man who had a deep frown on his beautiful and well-carved eyebrows when he stared at the lady running towards him, his lips were pursed in a thin line, his nose pointy and sexy, his black eyes narrowed, he was tall and well built with great physics visible under his expensive tailored suit.
Adele saw him collect the phone from the lady and placed it on his ears and took long and heavy strides out of the hallway, she stood there as she saw him pass by her without even giving her a single look, he smelt so good and manly that already intoxicated her when he passed by her. Adele was completely lost and rooted to the ground, she could not find her feet to move, her mouth slightly open as she was almost drooling.
Did she just see a Greek god? Or was it her imagination playing with her reality?
She was jolted back to reality when she heard the sound of the stiletto and it stopped when she saw the lady standing before her giving her a questioning look that said 'why are you staring at my boss like that?' and it was as if Adele got the message and she immediately asked the lady who was the god of manly beauty that she saw just now? She could never believe that that man was Mr Drew, that was impossible, Mr Drew was an ugly man and with the rumours, he could not be anywhere close to this Adonis, and she wanted to know if there was another Mr Drew but it was as if the lady was not interested in giving her the information she needed, the lady was about to leave and Adele decided to offer her money and after so much bargaining, the lady finally complied and gave out the information of her boss to Adele, Adele was in a state of shock, so the rumours were after all lies, Mr Drew was never ugly, neither was he fat or old, he was beyond beautiful and handsome.
But it wouldn't be her who would end up marrying Mr Drew but her mute twin would get married to him, how would she ever let that happen? She would do anything she could to make sure Mr Drew marries her regardless of whether her parent would agree or not, she needed an urgent plan.
