"I wanted revenge, but I got lost somewhere between hatred and his hands" "The woman I married has secrets stitched to her skin, and I'm unravelling it one kiss at a time." Sebastian Wolfe is a ruthless, cutthroat billionaire - and he just married the woman sent to kill him. Rue Calloway only loves two things: her twin sister and her gun. Now Mila is dead, and Rue is ready to burn the world to avenge her. Every clue leads back to Sebastian Wolfe - the man Mila was engaged to - the man she was sent to spy on. Fueled by grief, rage and revenge, Rue takes her sister's place, slipping into Mila's world of diamonds and deception. She'll wear her face, marry her fiancé, and complete the mission Mila never finished: gain his trust, gather secrets, and put a bullet through his heart. But nothing is ever that simple. As she walks the knife's edge between truth and lies, Rue starts to unravel a deeper conspiracy. Maybe Mila's death wasn't what it seemed. Maybe the people she trusts most are the real enemies. And maybe - just maybe - Sebastian isn't the monster she thought he was. Caught between a bullet and a hard place, she has to make a decision. Sebastian or Mila?

Chapter 1 The Lies I tell.

The Lies I Tell.

Rue was in a wedding dress.

Objectively, it was a stunning wedding dress – it seemed to be made of silk and the finest materials. These were expected, given the fact that she was about to marry Sebastian Wolfe, the ruthless CEO of Wolfe.

Subjectively, Rue wanted to die. Or better yet, kill Sebastian. That was her purpose here – that was her purpose in life now: to kill Sebastian. In a few hours, he will be her husband, and that would grant her the proximity to carry out her mission. She should be happy, but she couldn't be. She was an imposter. She was taking what did not belong to her. This mission wasn't hers. This dress didn't belong to her. She didn't chose this dress. She didn't chose the long veil or the glove. The dress had some sort of a cape at the hip. It was incredulous and ridiculous. She did not chose it – Mila had.

Oh, Mila. Sweet, sweet, Mila.

Rue clenched her jaw and reached for the gun she taped to the table, under, away from prying eyes, but the second she touched it, she heard footsteps. She froze, sat back down, and glanced at the large mirror. She had a very paranoid expression on her face, and – it hit her, Mila always looked welcoming and beautiful, but now, Rue looked like the killer she was.

She exhaled and smiled, she settled into her role. The door opened and Ivy walked in.

Ivy Collins. Sebastian's publicist and her only bridesmaid.

Rue wondered if Ivy and Mila had been best of friends. She could not remember if Mila had mentioned Ivy at all. She was in a tight spot, she had to pretend to know everything when she knew nothing. This ruse had to hold, it was important and it was for Mila. Everything was for Mila.

"You look beautiful, Mila. So beautiful." Ivy gushed, her face bright and flushed with happiness. Rue could not understand why Ivy was happy.

"I love what you've done with your hair." Ivy added, touching a strand of Rue's hair.

Rue and Mila might have been twins, but there were differences between them, Mila had blonde hair while Rue had black hair. To fit into the part, Rue had to dye her hair blonde, but some strands of black could still be seen, so she curled it and claimed she dyed her blonde hair black.

To be Mila, she needed to look like Mila.

"Thank you, Ivy." Rue responded, with a smile on her face. She must smile, it was very important for her to smile.

She was in the Lion's den, well, one leg in. If anyone suspects, she would be killed. Sebastian Wolfe had killed Mila, so she knew that he would kill her too in the blink of an eyes. He was a monster, and she had to be on her A-game.

"So, the wedding is in forty minutes. Sebastian is with Elias, he is very nervous, he can't wait to marry you." She smiled "I have your reception dresses here, but I need you to pick one, wear it, and we'll see if we need to alter it." Ivy articulated, walking around.

She opened a box and Rue watched as she pulled out dresses. White dresses. Rue walked to the box, and something cold setteld in her gut. She was going through with this. It was madness, but she had to do this. For Mila.

"Everything looks wonderful." She smiled, speaking softly, looking through the options. The dresses were wonderful, there was a short lace dress, a short white dress with a bow, there was a two piece collection, an halter neck dress. It all looked so good, but this was not about her, it was about Mila.

What would Mila chose?

She glanced at the lace short dress, Mila would chose that, but she had to admit that the two piece looked so much better.

"You should wear that." Ivy exhaled and Rue glanced at her. She was stunned to see the emotions on Ivy's face, it was confusing and she could not understand why Ivy was that much emotional.

"Okay." Rue smiled and picked it up. She walked to the dressing room and changed into the two piece. It fit her like a glove. Like it was made for her.

"Oh my Gosh, this – you look heavenly!" Ivy gasped, eyes wide and Rue looked at her, Ivy was so animated, she could not help but smile "You are such a ray of sunshine, Ivy."

Ivy flushed "Thank you, Mila. You look so beautiful and I am glad we can be friends now. So, Charlotte and Belle want to see you, but I'm holding them back, I don't think I can hold them off for much longer. Still, I know you need a moment alone. You are about to be married, about to be Mrs Mila Wolfe, so take your time. Lock the door when I leave. I'll come back in twenty minutes." She expressed kindly and Rue nodded, a bit stiff.

Ivy walked out. Rue locked the door and pulled out her gun. She walked into the dressing room and faced the man inside.

"Hi, Rue." Foggy Williams - her handler grinned at her.

She glared at him "You should not be here. That was reckless of you. You'll get me killed."

"Don't frown, that is not very bridal of you, wifey." He winked "I won't get you killed, I am a skilled handler. Anyway, how are you doing? Ready to walk down the aisle? Ready to marry that fucker?" Foggy smiled, but his humor drained away at the last sentence. Mila had been a daughter to him. He mourned her loss too.

"I am ready. What do you have for me?" Rue asked. Ivy would be back soon.

"We have a team in the Manor, and another team on standby for extraction." He spoke and she frowned "Extraction?"

"Yes. You are going to kill him tonight."
