Chapter 1

He just stared at me with his cold eyes.

You two are siblings my cousin simply said. Or am I mistaken? Do you have much more than just being a sibling? She asked with a hint of teasing in her voice.

Even you that is what you have in mind. Why is it that everyone who sees us is thinking that we are couples. I told her irritably

Be honest to me. I said seriously and stared at his eyes.

Why can't I use the surname Valle? Am I adopted? I asked him.

He stared at me.

How many times do I tell you that you are not adopted. We are biological siblings. It's for your safety so you do not use our surname. he says

My older brother answered me like that over and over again.

Safety? Do I have a threat in life?

* 30 minutes later *

I'm still here in my brother's office because we are talking about the patient's condition in Room 101.

My cousin's name is Avery Marian Ellseworth. We are 2nd cousin. But we are like twins who don't want to be separated.

Join me to check the patients said my older brother.

I looked at Avery who is applying liptint.

My cousin said.

Why are you looking at me? You want? she asked.

No thanks, I have my own liptint I told her.

Are you okay alone here? I asked

She raised an eyebrow at me.

All right, go with Jayden. I'm leaving too. Don't worry about me. I also have to take care of the firm. she says

The paperworks or the handsome prosecutor? I asked her with teasing smile on my lips.

Shhhh! I still have an appointment with my client about his case. Bye! she said and left.

I smiled.
