68L I N D Y “Welcome home Lindy!!!” I was taken aback as soon as the party poppers popped that came out of nowhere and I see everyone in this house greeting me with smiles on their faces. I see Lucius, Jasper, Silas, and Rowan who came all the way to celebrate this day with me which really means so much to me after what I have been through. It was the kind of support system that I needed after what happened to me and how these people are showing me an unconditional kind of love. These guys, whom I have always considered as my older brothers from other mothers, are all here and this means the world to me. I see Martha who ran towards me in a split second and hugged me tightly with tears flooding in her eyes which made me cry too because this scene is very much making me so emotional. She hugs me tight as she says the words, "I am so glad to see you again. I have missed you. I have missed you so much. I missed you a lot."She makes me bawl my eyes out as I hug onto her tighter, "I m
69L I N D Y After the honeymoon, I bravely decided to go back to college and finish where I left off. Milo has been very supportive of my decisions and he has been my confidante in almost anything that I do and I want to do. He would confront me about what would be the best and would advise me when things get harder or more confusing. He is just there constantly supporting me which means so much to me after everything.When he asked me if I would move in with him to London, I did not hesitate to agree with him because all my life anywhere with him, whether it is in London, Peru, Spain, South Africa, the Philippines, or anywhere around the world, I would want to be with him. Always. Mom and dad felt sad when they found out that I was moving to another continent which made them feel a little bit emotional before we parted ways. Although they understand that things are going to be different now that I am getting older and wiser and have plans set on ahead of me with Milo. Yet, my paren
70‘The famous Beckett duo called EZME called it quits after five years of singing together to their millions of fans due to personal issues, scandals, and health conditions that needed to be taken more seriously. Ezekiel Beckett has been suffering from Muscle Tension Dysphonia which causes the sound and feel of his voice to change due to extreme muscle tension in and around his voice box. As a result, it causes his voice to regularly stop performing more efficiently which broke a lot of his female fans' hearts. The 21-year-old heartthrob and crooner recently lost his voice due to stress, tension, overuse, and overwork and is now going through therapy doing various exercises.On the other hand, Emerald Beckett, who is no longer new to scandals and issues, has gotten some pretty bad press every now and then. The 21-year-old pop star and the other half of the duo called EZME have been known for her horrific diva behavior since her rise in popularity. It has always been rumored that she
E P I L O G U E "Em, just stop screaming, please." Lindy begs. "Think of it as a vacation."VACATION?! Then why can not I use the private jet?! Why do I have to ride a plane in eco... e... Ugh! I do not even want to say the word!""Stop being so overdramatic, Em. We all started somewhere." Milo mocks."I started rich and popular, I am keeping that title." She stood her ground.Milo tilts his head, "Not unless I take that away from you."She gapes.Ezekiel pulled up his pad as soon as he finished writing the words, “Cheer up Em. It is not so bad.” with a smiley face next to the sentence.It annoyed her even more. She loves her twin brother, but she hates the situation that she was in.“Not so bad for you!!” She screams at her brother before she groans. “You can not do this to me!!” Emerald screams like the drama queen she is.Days passed, Emerald found herself arriving in Aidenwoods, New Zealand with two big pieces of luggage and only a hundred pounds in her wallet and the other hund
CHAPTER 1 She gives me a death stare.I try to look away from her but she's looking at me angrily. I don’t know why she seems so pissed at me whenever I’m around. It feels like she doesn’t even like the fact that I exist. I mean, I have not really done anything wrong, have I? What did I do now? I thought to myself and wondered why she is giving me the eye. "Will you move your shoulder away from me?" She pushes me away that almost made me hit my head against the window, when mom and dad weren't looking. Sometimes she acts like a child, I swear to God.I glanced at my sister, Avery Sophia Swanepoel, the ever beautiful Miss Popular in my high school. She rules our campus because students and teachers praises her. She’s like super perfect embodiment of student in school. Avery rolled her eyes at me and I can intensely feel her hatred towards me. Come to think of it, she's my sister and she treats me like I'm a less fortunate. She treats me like we don’t have the same blood running in o
2Avery and I never get along. Like ever.As much as they say twins are supposed to be close to each other and they're like best friends because they share things together and play together and do a lot of fun things together while growing up, that just didn’t happen in my childhood.Me and Avery?Total opposite.She hates the sight of me and it’s so stupid that she hates me when we have the same actual face. I am aware of the fact that she detests me because there's never been a day that she didn't make me feel her hatred. Finally, we reached the house and she ran up to her room first while pulling off the clip from her straight long blond hair as she holds out a small mirror."Oh god I look so stressed." She says.Trust me, she doesn't even look stressed. She just loves herself so much, it's annoying. She knows she is popular and lovely that's why she praises herself. She loves getting all the attention to herself and it makes her hydrocephalus. She doesn't wanna be in second plac
3MILO'S POV“She belongs to me!”Automatically, there would be deafening screams of women in big arenas that we have played numerous times after we finish a song. There’d be a big crowd and blinding lights from cameras and smart phones recording every bit of our moves. There’d be a lot of women crying because of happiness, women screaming like there’s no tomorrow and women a little seem to flirty on the audience which is really getting pretty normal to me now, I guess. But the audience we just sang to were children and God just these kids hate me because of what I wear, my long hair and my skinny jeans. Some kids said I dressed weird. They just bloody hate me because of my hair and mostly thinks I am a girl because of it. Lucius tries his best to talk to much kids and play with them, Jasper as usual makes these kids laugh, as for Silas. Well, Silas’ being Silas and for Rowan even if he is not doing anything funny or cute, he’s just immensely loved by the kids because he has always b
4MILO'S POV"Hey lads." Silas calls out and he sounded as if he had just a brilliant idea.All of us glanced at him as he adds, "Let's all go skating. Paul said he knows a good place to skate." Rowan’s face was quick to show disagreement with Silas’s suggestion and I don’t think Lucius liked his idea too but Jasper’ just busy texting on his phone.I do want to skate. “I’d skate with you Silas.”He smiles, “That’s really sweet of you Milo .”I smiled back."Well..” Rowan interrupts. “Hate to break it to you Mill but Jasper is a professional figure skater. Aren't you Jas?" He smirks at Jasper."I am?" Jasper asked curiously with his brows creasing together as he stopped himself from typing on his phone. “I don’t skate Rowan. If you’re forgetting, I am bad with shoes that has wheels.”All of us know Jasper don't skate and would never try to skate. He can't even balance himself well on roller blades, what more if it’s on ice.I laugh softly."You are.” Rowan insisted. “I mean have you s
