The Identical Twin Brides

“Oh! “So this is where you are?” I yelled angrily at Larry, my soon-to-be ex-boyfriend.

He was under the covers of the bed and was hiding his naked body with a smug grin on his face.

I walked over to the bed and pulled up the covers because he seemed to be hiding a girl underneath them. I opened the white sheets, but I only found two legs.

“It’s not what you think, okay?” I can explain.” Larry said as he tried to hold my hand.

“Get your filthy hands off me!” I yelled at him. I went to the leg side of the bed and opened the covers, and there, my friend’s head popped out.

We were very close friends, but not exactly the best of friends.

“Wow! I never thought you could do this, Pauline. You were the one who firmly criticized Larry and said he wasn’t your type. I laughed hysterically.

Pauline hid her face in shame.

“It’s over between us, Larry; don’t ever contact me again.” I told him. “By the way, you two look good together.” “You are a perfect match.” I pointed at the both of them and stomped out of their hotel room.

I can’t believe I liked that trash.

I went to the bar in the hotel and ordered some whiskey. Even though I acted tough, like I didn’t care, in front of Larry and Pauline, I still felt deeply hurt. I acted tough, like I wasn’t affected by their betrayal, but the truth was that I was just pretending to be tough in front of them.

I didn’t go home that night; I stayed in one of the hotel rooms.

The next morning, I was awakened by the loud sound of my phone ringing. I rubbed my eyes and sat on top of the bed.

I answered the phone after the second ring.

“Hello m…”

“You have to come home immediately, Les!” My mother’s voice cried out over the phone.

“What is it, mom?” “Is something wrong?” I asked as I quickly got down from the bed.

“It’s your sister; she’s unconscious.” Mom replied, and I could tell she was crying because she was sniffing very hard.

“I’ll be on my way now.” “I’ll be home in a few,” I said and hung up.

I quickly put on my clothes properly, took my handbag, and ran out of the room.

My name is Leslie Piper Ron. I am twenty-one years old and the younger twin of the Ron twins.

My family is the third-richest and most influential family in New York.

I have an identical twin sister, Lauren, and she is the older twin.

I got into my car and drove as fast as I could.

I didn’t even bother to park my car properly before I rushed out and into the mansion.

“Mom, dad!” I called worriedly as I walked into the living room.

“Leslie!” Mom cried out, and I quickly gave her a warm hug.

She took me to Lauren’s room, where my sister was lying pale on the bed. Oxygen and drip were both fixed on her.

“Tomorrow is her wedding day, but I’m afraid that she won’t be able to make it.” Her doctor said it’s better to get her treated immediately. We have found a donor in Korea. “She has to get operated on immediately.” Mom explained.

Lauren has had a heart problem since she was little, but we’ve been able to control it with medications, but recently, it has become worse.

I sat on the bed and held Lauren’s hand. I stroked the back of her palm. She looked so pale. “I hope you get well very soon, Lauren,” I said sadly and quickly wiped the tear that ran down my cheek.

“So, what decision did you make?” I asked mom as we left Lauren’s room for the sitting room.

“Lauren and the wedding are very important to the family. “This is just wrong timing,” Mom said and sniffed.

“Your mother is right.” “Choosing between the both of them is really difficult.” Dad interjected.

“What are you talking about?” “You can’t choose between your daughter and the wedding?” I yelled at them and stood up angrily.

“Her life is on the line right now, and you don’t know whom to choose?” Are you supposed to even be thinking about the wedding at this time? If you don’t know, then I will let you know!

Nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, is more important than Lauren’s life right now! “Not even the darn wedding!” I yelled angrily and walked out on them, heading to my room.

“Leslie!” They both called out to me, but I ignored them.

Lauren is engaged to the son of the top-ranking family in New York. He is the second and last son of the family. He had an older brother.

They are known as the Holt family.

I went abroad when I was sixteen years old and came back a few months ago because of the problem my parents were facing at the company.

Due to my dad’s carelessness, he was deceived into signing a million-dollar contract that ended up very badly.

The company was in big trouble.

When I came back, my parents said that the Holtons family wanted to help the company, but in return, they wanted me to get married to their second son.

They didn’t know I was back in the country, and they wanted me back so we could proceed with the wedding. But dad said no, that Lauren was better than me. It was better to marry Lauren into the Holtons family than me, as I was very clumsy and brought nothing but trouble.

That was the reason I was sent abroad.

So, the Holtons family agreed and set up a blind date between Lauren and Caden.

According to the Holtons, Caden liked Lauren and was willing to marry her. And they were both engaged.

That was six months ago.

Now, tomorrow is the wedding, and Lauren is lying unconscious on the bed.

That evening, Lauren’s condition worsened, and my parents had no choice but to book a late-night flight to Korea.

Mom said she was going to go with Lauren while dad stayed at home with me.

“What about the marriage tomorrow?” Shouldn’t we tell the Holtons it won’t be possible and cancel the wedding? I asked my parents.

“Sit down, Leslie; that is what we want to discuss with you before Lauren and I leave,” Mom said, and she looked very serious.

I sat down on the couch and stared at my mom.

“You know that Lauren and you are very identical, right? “And outsiders cannot tell you apart, right?” Mom asked.

I raised my eyebrows but just nodded my head.

“We can’t cancel the wedding as it means a lot to us. “If we go bankrupt, we won’t be able to afford your sister’s surgical bills,” Mom said.

“Get straight to the point, mom.” I sighed.

“You will have to get married tomorrow in place of Lauren.”

“What!”
