Gone with her identity was her memory of the past, will she be able to live the life opposite her own?

[CHAPTER ONE]

She was his first love…

He was her first kiss…

But fate played a bad joke.

He married her twin sister instead of her.

?????

They say first love is the sweetest. But no one warned me that the first cut is the deepest. Today, on my birthday, I watched the man I love marry my twin sister.

The unpleasant sensation crawling through my chest splits my heart into two. My resolve crumbled to the pristine floor, totally wrecked and beyond salvation.

The sound of wedding bells echoed inside the church, the glorious sound that should have been pleasantly filling my ears sounded like ominous death bells to my own ears.

I stood in a corner with my heart painfully reaping. Cursing myself for wanting to witness the wedding which would only inflict my heart with multiple stab wounds. But my desire to see Lucas was so strong that my heart would willingly endure the pain.

Just one last look at the man I love then I would walk away and not even look back, I promised myself.

The church fell into a sudden hush and the large mahogany door flung open, light burst inside the church, and an ethereal beauty stepped inside with slow, graceful movements of a Queen.

My heart skipped a beat.

The bride was a tall, slender woman with exquisite red copper hair and soft amber eyes that looked as if they're glowing against the light. Looking at her now was like looking at my own reflection in the mirror.

The bride looked like a delicate porcelain doll in her magnificent Swarovski gown as

she gracefully walked down the aisle. The tune 'Here Comes The Bride' reverberated inside the church as she made her way to the altar.

The bride's searching gaze shifted to the far end of the aisle altar where the groom waited impatiently. Her lips curled into a smile and it lit up the whole room when a pair of midnight eyes met hers.

It took her almost forever to reach the altar, once she did, the dashing groom gently claimed her gloved fingers and wrapped it around his own.

Together they march forward.

Helpless tears tumbled down my crimson cheeks as the wedding ceremony went on.

The groom couldn't take his gaze off the bride. He was so smitten and so in love with her that for him there's only one girl who exists.

Even the guests too were radiating with joy as they looked at the perfect couple. I was the only one left out and mourning the death of my heart.

The bride was pregnant but the gown she wore perfectly hid her slightly protruding belly.

When wedding vows were exchanged, my fingers fumbled on the wall for support. My legs start to shake, any moment now it would collapse to the floor.

I listened to each word Lucas had spoken. Each word carved deep through my heart. Just this moment, I want to imagine that I'm his bride and he was saying his vow to me.

"Now that you both have committed yourselves to one another and to your Holy Union through the sacred vows that you have taken and by the giving and receiving of these rings, I now pronounce you husband and wife."

"Those whom God has joined together may, he generously bless Forever."

"You may now kiss the bride. "

The groom eagerly lifted the bride's pristine white veil, a lovely smile tugging at the corner of his lips.

His lovely smile should have been mine too. But everything he had to offer, including his love, wasn't mine anymore.

When the groom claimed the bride's lips my world crumbled at my feet.

I died right that moment.

The cheering crowd dissolved and a prison wall void of hope enclosed around me.

This is pain no words could describe…

I may live a thousand years and yet I would not be able to find the right words to describe the pain.

My resolve crumbled and my legs collapsed to the floor.

I couldn't stop the waterfall of tears flowing down my flushed cheeks as I hid into the corner where no one could see me. I buried my face into my palms. My shoulders shaking uncontrollably with each heart wrenching sob erupting from my lips.

He is the first one I love.

And the first man I lost.

But no matter how much regrets I have now, it's all too late.

I forced my legs to get up and hurriedly left the church while sobbing.

The remnants of a broken heart and shattered dreams were dragged behind me as I ran out of the gates.

If only I did not fall madly in love with the Duke of St. Alexander then this would never happen.

"Goodbye Lucas," I mumbled softly, looking at the lovely bride and the handsome groom for one last time.

"I love you…. but Alexandria would kill you if I told you the truth so I sacrificed."

After quietly saying my goodbyes, I left the church without looking back. I kept running despite not knowing where to go. I just want to escape from this sad, painful reality.

My feet ached from exertion but I didn't stop. My brain kept urging me to run and run to where until my feet couldn't carry me anymore.

Sweat drips down my forehead and neck but I didn't care. I continue to run as if my life depended on it.

I don't know how long I'd been running but my body screams from exhaustion. But it didn't stop me either.

The piercing screech of a car pulling to a halt suddenly stopped me from running. It parked just in my way. Thus, blocking my path as if to make sure I wouldn't escape.

The car flung open and a tall man in an expensive white suit emerged. He was one of the wedding guests. But I don't recognize him one bit.

I looked away, afraid that he would see my tear-stricken face.

"Arabella Angelstone…" He said the words more of a statement than a question.

Imminent danger hung heavy on the atmosphere. 'Run' warned a part of my brain but it was all too late, I could not escape what was destined to happen.

Reluctantly, I lifted my gaze to his and a pair of enchanting eyes in a dark shade of honey caged mine. There's something about his striking features and the hellish coldness of his eyes that tells me beneath the surface, an extremely dangerous man lies.

How menacingly handsome….

My intuition screamed 'run' but my feet were glued to the ground.

The man lifted the gun I didn't know he was holding.

Gasp!

No! I screamed but no words emerged to my lips. My eyes stretched wide and my eyebrows shot to the sky. "No!"

Shock hit through me like a bolt of lightning when he stepped closer. "Goodbye Bella." He spoke coldly, sending shivers down my spine.

Bang!

The first shot pierced through my shoulders and I collapsed with a thud, my hips landed hard on the rough cemented ground.

Blood began to trickle from the wound on my shoulder. But the pain was nothing compared to the sudden twisting pain inside my stomach as if it was ripping into two.

When my gaze shifted to my lower body, blood began flowing from my inner thighs down to my legs. There was so much blood that my head started to spin.

My lips parted open to scream for help but no sound erupted from my lips. My head fell back to the rough pavement, tears flowing down my cheeks.

Bang!

Hot burning sensation hit my chest.

A swirling portal sucked me in.. Tired of struggling, I finally closed my eyes allowing the darkness to take me in.
