Phoenix went to her room after the drive from City A. She hadn't expected a turn of events just like her sister, Phoebe. They planned to go to the beach side, but then changed their mind after they saw how crowded the place was.
So they decided to go to the popular one in City A. They said goodbye to their mum who happily wished them a safe journey.
Actually...the twins were bored at home doing nothing. And they both wanted to spend time alone and in that, planned to go to the beach together. It was the only beach the city had.
They weren't surprised after discovering how crowded it was.
They didn't get it. They thought strangers were amongst their own people.
Of all the cities over there, City F was the least crowded. They thought others had joined them in their lovely city.
True it was. When the two sisters got to City A, they asked if the beach was taken. The response they received made their faces light up. They had the whole beach to themselves.
Then they heard it was announced that the sea's current was high. It was advisable not to go there in the meantime. That's why their city's beach was so crowded.
"Hm, what do we have to lose?" Phoebe, the first twin, said to her sister. She was as happy as she wanted to be, alone only there.
"Yeah!" She shouts to the hearing of the birds in the trees. They all began to fly away.
Phoebe held her sister's hand as they ran into the sand. They get rid of their shoes and start to play in the sand.
"Do you like it?" Phoebe asked her twin. She knew how happy her weirdo sister was.
Finally alone on a whole beach. She wished she could see what her so-called twin was thinking. She had been alone all her life.
Phoebe didn't get why her parents always had time for her and ignored her twin. She recently found out from their mum that she was her half sister. That still didn't change the fact that they had grown up together. She didn't know her stepsister that much. They grew up under the same roof and even went to the same schools.
Still, she has no idea what kind of food or drink her sister liked.
They were two different people from two same sisters and one man. Yet, they were brought up by their mum and their heart-to-heart dad.
What was the use of always avoiding her if her mum used to cater for her because of their father?
When she was a princess, whilst growing up, Phoenix was training herself to become a knight. She never wore any girls' dresses except for school, where the rules required her to.
She didn't wear makeup either. Phoebe never saw her with the opposite sex. She even thought she was friendless. Until she once saw her with a tattooed girl.
Gross, she was friends with some hooligan. No wonder she was always in the gym.
"It's okay," Phoenix responded. She was a bit lonely and wanted to go out. She could have invited her friends instead, but Phoebe had insisted that they be alone.
"Sister!" Phoebe called, sounding like the sweetest twin. They had nothing in common.
Phoebe wanted them to be alike. But her useless fake twin wasn't like that. She had trained herself and never wanted to change that.
"You look dull, as always. Isn't the company going well?" She asked wanting to know something about her life.
Phoenix owned a million-dollar company which was called FACE.
Yet nobody knew the meaning of that FACE. It was very popular for its creative jewellery. She even launched her latest brand just last month. It was a customised watch for her client.
Unfortunately, the man died the moment he saw the artefact. He wanted to see it very badly. It was his late wife's description. He had found the right person to make that watch.
A smile crept up his face when Phoenix, in person, handed him the watch.
"Thank you my dear!" The old man had confessed. The watch was sealed in a box after his burial. None of his children or grandchildren wanted to have the most valuable gift from their grandfather.
A year after that Phoenix found out that the old mam wanted her to bring the watch out. They had then read his will. She worked on it and brought it to public view last month.
"Thank you---- everything's well," Phoenix replied, unsure of her sister's attitude.
"Come on, let's go and have a taste of that salty water," Phoebe said trying to shift herself. She wanted to know what was going on in her fake twin's company.
B*tch. She even had no public record whatsoever.
No media even dares to publish a thing about her or the company. Unless a new release was up. What was she anyway?
The person she was under the same roof with, she knew nothing about her strange sister.
They went into the water to swim.

She felt sick not having anyone by her side. She was well aware that their mother didn't like her. Even their father, who was a bit unlike her, also didn't have time for her. If she hadn't gotten up to walk to the car, she bet they would have left her there.
What a family!
Was she even their real daughter? She didn't get why it was always Phoebe and never her.
They had all the time in the world for Phoebe and never looked back at her.
She was twenty-six and still alone. She was the unlucky one. Phoebe had everything. Love, care, friends and worst of all men.
Men go crazy when it comes to her. As for her, she was zero attractive.
They had the same skin colour and the same face. Yet no man ever approached her or even to the extent of complimenting her.
She was still grateful for having met her girlfriends at Uni or else her life would suck. They, too, had their lives, and when she wasn't with them, she was all alone.
Either at her flat or in the office. She wanted to get a little warmth at the house she grew up in. That was why she came to the mansion.
