Chapter Twenty- Eight

ALEX

I didn't ask Caiden about what I have seen yesterday and it seems like he don't know too. I was still confuse, if he really was not Caiden, then who is he? Could he be my Dwayne--my real Dwayne?He was caring and kind like my Dwayne. And I had to admit that he had a bad temper too like him. As I stare up on the sky last night I saw him, through my balcony, up on the roof watching it with me.

Is he really Dwayne? But why did he kidnap me? Why did he snatch me away from my fiancé? Didn't he know that I love that man? It's true that we've been friends but as I spend each day with Caiden, I realize that my love for Dwayne is like a friendly love, a love for a family not like that of Caiden.

It was different.

I'm ready to confront him now at breakfast and as I look at him across the table a sudden feeling made me cower back into my shell. He was the first to break the silence as he cleared his throat. I look at him, cowering slightly.

"Alex, we need to talk."

I look at him and down at my food. I gripped my spoon and shove a spoonful of cereal on my mouth to avoid talking unto him. "Alex, you cannot escape this" I swallowed it down and looked up."There is something I really needed to tell you. I've wanted to tell you this for a long time and we really need to do this talk right now.” I shove another spoonful of cereal and watch him made his way through the door.

"Follow me out after five minutes”, he whispered on my ear making me shiver.

CADE

My plane landed in Hawaii an hour ago. I was now making my way on the beach, looking for a spot where I can spy each beach house.

I volunteered myself to do this because I know that my agents are tired of looking for her. I called Jake and asked him where he saw my look alike and that leads me into this beautiful beach with white sand. I would've enjoyed this if she's with me right now.

I can't believe it that my twin brother has the guts to do this to me. If Jake really had seen him with her, then he should prepare himself for a fight because no matter what, I'll have my dolce back.

I stare down at the sand and up to face the sea; the water splash on the shore and back. Like my twin had come back only to get my dolce. My jaw clenched at the thought of it, my hands balled into a fist.

How can I control my temper if only the thought of it made me fight myself?

As I made my way to one of the shed, I finally saw them talking, walking like a couple. Like they've known each other since they were born, like they live each memory together. Like they were...realization hit me. Dwayne and Caine, they may only be a one person. That maybe the Dwayne, the one that Alex was talking about was my twin all along and I didn't know until now.

How can I be so stupid?

ALEX

I look at Caine and watch him walk. I catch up with him as he pretended that he would go out on the beach without me. He gave me a small smile and held my hand.

"Alex, there's something I really need to tell you."

I momentarily look at him and muttered, “Go on."

"I'm Dwayne"

What? Dwayne...he's alive?

My eyes were wide as saucers as I stare at him. "Alex, did you hear me?" I nodded my head, my brows still furrowed.

I blink my eyes and look at him. "What? Why?"

"Why?" It was his turn to frown at me. "I'm telling you that I'm alive, Alex, that I'm back. I'm finally back" He held my shoulders and leaned to look at me in the eye. "Aren't you happy?" I removed his hands on my shoulders.

"No, it's not that. I'm just…confused."

"Confused of what?"

"I'm confused of your return. Why now?" I look down and notice a tear fall. I made my way through one of the shed and sat down. He followed suit and sat beside me. I look at him and continued. "Why did you just turn up now? Not a year ago or the year before that? You could've stopped me from falling for him. You could've-"

He stood up and held my shoulders "Stop! You don't understand Alex. You do not!"

"Then please tell me. Enlighten me!" I snapped at him.

"When I met you at the park, I was so alone back then because my father told me that he doesn't love me. They told me that I was not their son and they just wanted me for the business. And then one day I have returned back to my true parents, Sir Carl and Elaine Coleford. I-"

"What? You mean, you and Caiden are twins?" I stood up and paced.

“Well, isn’t it obvious? Or am I more good looking than my brother?” With this I glared at him, tempted to smack him on the head.

Turning my eyes away from him, I muttered, “That's why the two of you act the same but how can you do this to your own brother? How can you ruin his wedding day?" I glared at him and sniffed as a tear fall from my eyes, "Our wedding day?"

"I needed you, Alex. I wanted to be with you. He's a monster Alex, he hurt you." He held my hand and stared at me.

"But that doesn't explain it all. You are the monster for doing all this."

"No, I mean, its-"

"Then explain. Explain to me why you’ve been gone for seven years!" I demanded and sat far away from him.

"Okay well it all started when..."
