Awakening of True Love

Chapter 1Ten years ago, I saved a drowning boy.After giving him CPR, he woke up and said, "I'm claiming you. I'm gonna marry you when I grow up!"I just laughed it off, thinking it was a kid’s silly promise.Ten years later, the boy had grown into an obsessive, controlling CEO.At my wedding rehearsal dinner with my fiancé, he showed up with a bunch of guys, beat up my fiancé, and dragged me away."I told you I'd marry you. You can only be mine."He threatened my family and forced me to marry him.He kept me locked up in his mansion, forbidding me from any contact with other men.He tried everything to win my heart, but I remained unmoved.Frustrated, he found a look-alike, a girl who looked almost exactly like me.This girl, empowered by his obsession, ran wild. She barged into my villa with her posse."Who is this trashy wannabe, trying to steal my man with my face? I'm gonna tear her apart!"They tortured me to death. He arrived too late.The look-alike dragged my body to him, gloating."Babe, this plastic surgery freak was trying to seduce you in here. I took care of her!"Part 1Ethan was crazy in love with me. Obsessively so.He said, from the moment I saved him, he knew he had to have me.To win me over, he kept me locked up for three years, trying everything to make me happy.But I didn’t love him. I could never love him.Recently, though, he found a girl who looked just like me.They've been inseparable for months.To taunt me, he'd send me videos of them together.I was sitting in the courtyard, watching one of these videos when I heard a commotion outside.“Ethan's always sneaking over here.

No one's allowed in.”“Yeah, Brittany, I heard he broke some guy's arms and legs and blinded him just for peeking inside. Are we sure about this?”“Relax. Ethan’s obsessed with me. He wouldn't hurt a fly I cared about.”Hearing the noise outside, I frowned, a bad feeling rising in my chest.I knew how crazy Ethan could be.He was possessive, treating me like a prized possession, keeping me locked away.Someone had once snuck in out of curiosity, just to catch a glimpse of me.Ethan had him beaten within an inch of his life and thrown out. The guy disappeared the next day.At first, he was only jealous of men. Then he realized I was nicer to the housekeepers than I was to him.He fired them all in a fit of rage.He'd rather bring me my meals himself three times a day than let anyone else so much as look at me.If these people came in, they were in serious trouble.I got up to warn them to leave.But as I opened the door, a face almost identical to mine stared back.Before I could speak, she slapped me hard.“Who the hell are you? You got some nerve sneaking around Ethan’s place with my face! Trying to steal my man, are you?”Part 2The slap stung, my cheek burning."You cheap plastic surgery fake! Do you know where you are? How dare you trespass?"“And you have the nerve to get your face done to look like Brit...
