"Breath, you can do this ", Aria breathed, gazing at herself in the mirror.
She was dressed in the black laced lingerie that had been packed for the honeymoon.
She frowned seeing how see-through it was.
"Was this really your taste in clothes, sister?" she gulped.
A knock came at the door, "Alya are you okay? It was her newlywed husband Kallias Vane.
"Yeah, I'm fine, just had trouble opening the suitcase," she said. Giving one more glance in the mirror she decided to change again.
But nothing in the packed suitcase was safe to come out in.
She internally screamed, what was she to do if he made an advance towards her? This was her sister's husband, after all, and the man she suspected of killing her.
But she took a deep breath, remembering the contract she had seen in her sister's things, between her and Kallias.
It stated they were only married for public reasons and were only acting as a couple in public, but would keep out of each other's personal lives.
Opening the door, she walked out wrapped in a robe; she had opted to change into it rather than the scary lingerie that had been packed. She had wondered why her sister had packed such stuff if their relationship wasn't romantic.
He was already in bed, doing something on his laptop , he sure was a busy man. Quently, she climbed into the bed on the opposite side, lying down.
"Tired?" he asked.
"A little, I didn't know weddings could be this exhausting ", she answered, yawning.
"You can go ahead and sleep, I still have a few things to do " he said.
She turned away closing her eyes as she muttered a goodnight.
Kallias went ahead with his work, and after he was done, he placed his laptop aside and lay down, turning off his bedside light.
.....
Aria had been lost in her research for her upcoming novel when she received a text from her twin sister, Ayla.
"Kallias Vane " she read.
"Huh, what the hell is she sending me? " Aria yawned, placing her phone aside and going back to work.
She had hidden away from her family and decided to live her life in secret, unlike her influential family and famous sister.
A few days later she was staring down at her sister's corpse in the hospital, where she had been admitted for poisoning.
Aria remembered the text and turned to her mother to find out who the name belonged to, and it was no other than her fiancé and soon-to-be husband Kallias Vane.
They where to be a wedding in three days, and Alya had been found unconscious at her place right after having dinner with him.
Aria decided to take her sister's place and find out why his name had been sent to her by Alya and why her sister had died a few hours after meeting him.
Kallias felt a shift on the bed and turned slightly, opening his eyes, he flinched, raising his arms.
Aria was holding a pair of scissors and was in the process of stabbing him with them.
"What the hell are you doing ?" he yelled.
"You need to pay for what you did to my sister ", she cried out.
"What are you talking about? Are you drunk? "he moved, overpowering her, and Kallias pinned her down.
"Let me go, right now, you murderer", she yelled.
"I don't know what is going on, but you need to calm down ", he said.
"Calm down, I couldn't breathe the whole time I was next to you ... you're just a liar and a killer", her tears fell.
He fawned in confusion.
"I am confused right now, care to explain first before you try to kill me " he stated.
She glared up at him catching her breath.
"You killed my sister " she cried.
"You never told me you had one, so how can I kill her and why would I do that? " his dark, cold eyes looked back at her.
Aria blinked.
"I am not Alya, but her twin sister Aria ", she let out.
