My Blind Billionaire Brother-in-Law

They say those with twins are advantageous and fortunate. You will never feel deserted. You always have someone with you in everything you do. You have someone with you when you are happy, and most of all, you have someone with you when you are miserable. Your twin is the one you can count on and be your ally even if everyone abandons you.

"Ada, rest first. I will look after the boutique while you are resting." Mom told me when she noticed I was drowsy.

"Mom, you should be resting since you just finished cooking our food for lunch. I will be fine!" I told her with a smile.

"Your eyes are shutting down; go ahead, go home, and take a nap." Mom insisted on me.

I am Ada Zenica Moore, twenty-seven years old, a small business owner here in our province. Welcome to "Pick'a Moore Boutique." My boutique is performing well where I sell various merchandise. I graduated from college, but I chose to stay here in our province because my mother had no one to be with.

I have a twin, Ava Zenica, but her dream is more significant than mine. I am a simple person, and my happiness is also modest. Since my father orphaned us, I wanted to be with Mama and help her. I will take care of her as she grows older.

"This dress is so beautiful!" said Aunt Monica, Mom's friend.

"Take that, Monica; that will surely fit you," Mom whispered.

"Alice, you are fortunate that Ada stayed with you. She is so lovely and kind. My son Ian wishes to court Ada." I heard Aunt Monica tell Mom.

"Tell your son Ian to try to woo Ada. They are at the right age in the first place." Mom replied, smiling.

"Aunt Monica, Ian likes Ava, not me," I responded to their conversation.

"No, Ian likes you. Even twins still have very different behaviors. How is Ava? She has not been home to our province for a long time." Aunt Monica's scrutiny.

Mom and I were both stunned. How long has it been since Ava left us? She insisted on studying in Manila, in the city. She said she has no promising future here in the province. We are twins, but we are the opposite of each other.

Ever since she studied in Manila, she always excused herself that she could not come home with us, even on special occasions. We did not even know if she had graduated from college or what. Mom and I went to the house where she lived, but the owner told us Ava had vacated a long time ago.

We also could not contact her through her phone, and she was inactive on social media. What could have transpired to my twin sister? Until we received a call from her one day.

"Mom, it is Ava!" said the one on the other line.

"Ava, where are you? What happened to you? Go home here to the province." successive questions from my worried mother.

"Mom, my life is fine. I will not go back there ever again. Let me live far away and do not worry about me. I got married here in Manila." added Ava.

"You got married without even telling us? We are troubled about you only to find out you are tied to the knot by someone else. Ava, show up to us." Mom commanded her.

"I married a rich man. I live in a mansion. Why else would I go back to the province and to that small house of ours?

Ada is with you, she has no intention of seeking good fortune, so I am not troubled about you being alone, Mom." Ava's litany.

"Ava, stop what you are saying! How can you tell Mom those things?" I could no longer restrain myself from engaging in their conversation.

"Just consider me dead!" and she suddenly turned off her call.

I did not see Mom cry, but I knew she thought about everything Ava told her. The personality of my twin sister is heartless. She is always aggressive, unlike me. I would rather stay in my safe zone and live as normal as ever.

But it was too much for her to say that we should consider her dead. She wanted to tell us to stop concerning her and still hope that she would come back to us just because she married a wealthy man from Manila.

Their Point-of-Views

"Hon, I need to visit the mall. So I will leave Sabie with you in the meantime." line instantly irritated Ava.

"What? Will you leave your child with me? Hon, she has a nanny. I am going somewhere important too. I will meet some of my friends." Ava directly refused.

"I do not trust nannies too much," he uttered.

"Treyton, there is the butler of the mansion, Nanny Ofel. Why don't you tell her to watch over Sabina's nanny while you are gone?" Ava sneered.

Treyton Roberts, a business magnate. He does not just own a mall but malls, for that matter. He is already a mogul at the age of thirty-two. He has a daughter, Sabina. But the mother of Sabina left the child with him without saying goodbye.

Treyton loves his daughter dearly. She filled his heart with extreme joy when he would feel deserted. Sabina is a four-year-old girl. Ava came into his life, and he fell in love with this woman.

Ava is so beautiful that she looks like a celebrity. She was vain in her physique and sensual. Treyton thought Ava and Sabie would get along, but he was wrong. He decided to marry Ava thinking that Sabie would have a mother in her person.

"Good, and you were able to come here." said the man who opened the door of his condominium unit.

"Lucas, my love, I am so excited for you." Ava put her hand on Lucas' neck.

"What did you tell your husband to allow you to leave?" he grinned.

"Of course, I told him that l would meet my friends. Yes, he is my husband, but he married me to make his perfect display. He does not love me. He just married me so he can introduce his wife to people, to his business partners.

And then he even planned to make me a nanny for his child. No way! The zest of life when you have no child to care for. That is why I do not tell him I am using a contraceptive!

I do not wish to get pregnant! When I get pregnant, we will not be able to go wild! Lucas, I miss you so much. We also did not meet for a few days. I am crazy thinking about your physique and how you make me pleased in bed." Ava kissed Lucas' neck.

Ava felt love and first sight for Treyton when she first saw him. When she graduated from college, she applied for work at companies with wealthy people to be her target. She worked at one of Treyton's malls.

No single woman would not fall for Treyton Roberts' charm? He is a perfect Adonis. He is affluent and incredibly seductive. But Ava was startled when she found out that he had already had a child.

Her only goal was for Treyton to marry her so that she could live like a queen. And she celebrates a prosperous life and lives in a mansion. At first, she was delighted with Treyton until he became highly occupied with his career. He has no time for Ava and almost spends the rest of his time after work for Sabina.

"Hi, Ada!" greeting that raised my eyes since I was busy computing my earnings for today in the boutique.

"Oh? Ian, I am about to close the boutique. Do you have anything to purchase?" I asked him.

"I just passed by here before I went home to our house. Ada, I would like to take you out tomorrow night," Ian directly invited me.

"I am sorry, I could not close the boutique, so I will not be able to come with you." I immediately rejected him.

"Are you still mad at me for what happened in the past? Don't you still believe my explanations?" Ian implored.

FLASHBACK...

"Ada, I like Ian, so when he flirts with you, do not give him a chance." let out Ava unexpectedly.

"What are you saying?" I asked Ava with a grimace.

"I like him. Is that hard to understand?" Ava begged again.

I could not comprehend what she was telling me because Ian was not confiding me anything either. Ian is pleasant to me because he is our friend. Mama and Aunt Monica are also friends. Ian, Ava, and I have been together since grade school. They are also living near our house.

Until we reached junior high, I was surprised to learn that my twin sister was Ian's girlfriend. I will confess, I also like Ian as a man. He is handsome, intelligent, and kind. But we were still young, so I did not think to take seriously the relationship that Ava and Ian had.

PRESENT...

Ian deciphered to me the events when we were still in junior high. He said he wanted me and not Ava, but Ava stated to him that she would be dissatisfied with me if Ian pursued courting me. Ian was just a boy, and he conceded with my twin.

Ever since Ava left our province, Ian has also started courting me. He also has a good job now, and according to him, he can build a family and give them a bright future.

"I am sorry if I would interrupt your conversation. Ada, come with Ian. I can take care of the boutique." Mom was listening to us.

"Oh, Aunt Alice approved our date, Ada. I hope you would concur too." smiling Ian mumbled.

"All right, I will come with you tomorrow night." I also agreed.

My boutique is just in front of our house. After closing it, Mom and I went home.

"Ada, let yourself be happy. You are old enough to have a boyfriend. And I am confident that Ian is a good person. Ever since your Dad passed away, you have not stopped working. Take a vacation. Take a break!" As Mom stroked my long hair.

"I promised myself, Mom, since Dad passed away that I would be your partner. I know you had a hard time adjusting when he died. I hope my presence is enough to make you joyous, Mom. That is all I want, to see you delighted even without Dad." I struck a smile.

"I am happy because you did not leave me. I have accepted that your Dad has to go. Thank you, Ada; you are still here by my side." Mom hugged me.

FLASHBACK...

"Let's go, Ada, Ava!" moaned Mom.

"Where will we go?" Ava asked.

"Your Dad is in the hospital. He had an accident!" Mom said, baffled.

Ava and I instantly complied with Mom's invitation. My heart is beating so quickly because of the nervousness. Aboard the jeepney, we went to the hospital, where Dad was rushed.

"Dad, Daddy!" Ava called.

Ava was closer to Dad while I was closer to Mom. But I both love our parents dearly. It is easy for Dad to approve of our wishes while Mom is the disciplinarian between them.

"What happened to my husband?" Mom begged the nurse.

"The patient is still in the Operating Room; let us wait for the doctor to come out." the clear answer of the nurse.

I remained tight-lipped but repeatedly prayed that Dad would be all right. At the same time, Ava was moaning and calling Dad's name.

"Doctor, doctor, is my Dad okay?" Ava asked when a doctor came out of the Operating Room.

"Are you Josh Moore's family?" the doctor inquired.

"Yes, I am his wife. How is my husband?" Mom implored.

"I am sorry, he did not make it. He is gone!" the doctor announced softly.

It was as if heaven and earth were covering us with what the doctor asserted. Dad was dead. Dad was an engineer and had an accident at the construction site where he worked. At fifteen, Ava and I were orphaned by a father.

"If only we had more money, Dad would not die. If only we were rich, they would do everything to keep Dad alive. If you just helped Dad work, you would save a lot for his treatment!" said Ava, unawares while sobbing.

"Josh, Josh, why did you abandon the twins and me?" was the only thing Mom uttered.

Ever since Dad perished, Ava has been filled with resentment for Mom. She blames Mom for the loss of our father. So, all the decisions she made for herself, she fulfilled without informing our mother. I felt sorry for Mom because I knew she was not to denounce Dad's loss.

Their Point-of-Views

"Hey, Sabina, where is your Dad?" Ava asked the child who was currently playing by the poolside of the mansion.

"He is not here yet, Mommy Ava!" Sabie answered promptly.

"Do not even call me Mommy. I get disgruntled when I hear that from you." rebuke Ava.

"Daddy told me to call you Mom." Sabie reasoned out.

"I am not your mother. Your mother left you because she did not want you. Especially me, I do not want you to be my child." Ava stated.

Sabie just sobbed because of what Ava told her. Instead of pitying the child, Ava grinned and left the girl helpless.

FLASHBACK...

"Hon, is my lingerie nice?" Ava asked Treyton one night.

"Yeah! You are as gorgeous as always!" while Treyton was still involved with what he was working out in front of his laptop.

"Enough for work! I will be the one to work for you, Hon!" and Ava smooched Treyton's ear.

"Are you ready to give me a baby?" Treyton's simple question.

"Let us enjoy each other before we have a baby. Please, Hon!" Ava pleaded.

Having a child is a big issue for Treyton and Ava. Treyton expects them to have his child with Ava, but Ava thwarted herself from being pregnant. She wished to enjoy the wealth of Treyton Roberts.

Ava had a lot of expectations from their married life. They will always leave the mansion and go on vacation to different countries. Treyton would buy her expensive bags, shoes, and clothes. They will have intercourse every night and even in the morning when they wake up.

He was so attracted to Treyton's physical attributes that she desired to taste them daily. Not everything Ava expected ensued. Treyton is a busy man. And he always prefers to be with his child. Yes, they had vacations in different countries like Hongkong, England, Korea, and many more but with Sabina.

Treyton gave her a card where she could decide on what to buy for herself. She was doing stuff on her own. Their s*x life went boring as time went by. Treyton comes home very exhausted and would rest and get some sleep. Ava was frustrated with their predicament and failed from her probabilities.

People have been praising my twin and me for being both beautiful. We are identical twins but have a lot of differences from each other when it comes to our behavior. I believe that simplicity is beauty. I chose a vintage tee matched with high-wasted jeans and heels.

I am; we are endowed with effortless grooming since our magnificence comes naturally. Ava and I were blessed with pleasing physique shapes, a full-figured waist, and plump hips. Tonight is my date with Ian. I am feeling a little uneasy.

"Ada, perhaps it has been a long time since I have attempted proving myself to you; I hope you can answer my question to you now," said Ian.

"What is your question?" I said, smiling.

"Would you be my girl, Ada?" Ian held my hand.

"You have been courting me for decades. You gave me what I wanted, to finish my studies. Until I became Mom's partner in her life. You still waited. So, Ian, there is no reason now for me to restrain myself. Yes, I will be your girl from this moment on." I replied to Ian.

"Really?" Ian stood up and embraced me.

Ian is my first boyfriend, many tried to woo me, but I preferred not to risk commitments. Mom is my priority, so I forgot about myself. Ian waited patiently for me. And one more thing, Ava is already married, so there is no reason for me not to give Ian an answer.

"I promise to be the best boyfriend for you, Ada!" Ian uttered.

"Do not promise anything, Ian; just do it," I told him.

"The amount I dreamed of doing with you, Ada. And now that you are my girlfriend, I wish to fulfill that one by one. First, let me call you Sweetie, for you are the sweetest woman I have ever known.

Secondly, I prefer you to take a vacation because since Uncle Josh died, you have been so busy in the boutique, and you forgot to give yourself time.

Third, I want the day to come when you are the woman I will present at the altar and marry. I have loved you so much since we were kids, and that has not changed over time. I love you, Sweetie." While Ian clenched my hand.

"Let us accomplish those things one by one. I love you too, Ian!" I confided him.

I guess this is love. I am comfortable in Ian's presence. Also, he is my first boyfriend, so I should tell him I love him. The time will likewise come when I will feel incredible when I am with Ian. So far, I am delighted with my decision, and I think I am with the right person.

One night, Ian passed by the boutique again before going home.

"I will take you to Manila this weekend. I have to attend a seminar there for the company. So that you can unwind away from our province, I can have someone with me on my long drive." Ian's invitation.

"Oh sure, I will come with you! I plan to close on Saturday so Mom can rest as well." I concurred with what he said.

I want to go to Manila, and I might have the chance to see Ava there. I know Mom is still disturbed by the thought of Ava and her condition.

Saturday came...

"Aunt Alice, we will be back within this day. Perhaps Ada and I would come home a little late." when Ian begged Mom for permission.

"You are both at the right age, and even if you come home here already married, I will be glad of that!" smiling Mom mumbled.

"Mom, get married right away? Ian and I just entered into a relationship, and we are not in a hurry. Take good care. Take a break while the boutique is closed." I reminded my mother.

We headed to Manila using Ian's car. We are from Iba, Zambales, a second-class municipality and capital of the province Zambales. It would take approximately three hours to go to Manila.

"Are you okay? You can take a nap, Sweetie!" Ian's indication.

"No, I am not going to Manila for the first time, but I still want to see the way we are going through," I told him with a smile.

I did not sleep, and my eyes relished the spectacular places we saw along the way. Nine in the morning, we arrived in Manila. We reached our destination well and safely.

"Sweetie, would you be fine if I left you here in the hotel lobby for a while? I will attend my seminar and be with you during lunchtime." when Ian and I entered a hotel.

"Oh, sure! I will be fine, Sweetie. Go ahead; you might get late for your seminar. I can manage." I squeezed his hand.

Eventually, Ian left me deserted in the hotel lobby. There are also some people waiting here with me. I picked up my cellphone to listen to music while waiting. Now I feel drowsy. Ian and I had a long trip. We left Iba too early.

I tilted my head on the soft couch of the lobby. I should not sleep. While I wait for Ian, I can go for a saunter and take the chance to see Ava. A very handsome man captured my sight. Why did I unexpectedly say he is handsome?

I am with my boyfriend Ian, but I am, admiring a man who looks like a leading man in movies. I was even more shocked when he smiled, and his smile infected me. I smiled at him too! And why does he seem to be smiling at me? I looked to my left and right, but I had no one else next to me.

"Hon!" and I was even more astonished when he moved toward me.

He stroked my face, and abruptly, he kissed my lips. I closed my eyes. My world ceased spinning as he did the kissing. My heart is thumping extremely hastily. It seemed to explode with the sensation caused by this man's kiss.

"I am glad to see you here. Let us have lunch together. I need to get back to the conference room. See you later!" and he even slightly squeezed my chin.

I could no longer speak, and I saw that he had climbed the stairs again, moving away from me. I touched my lip. Why did he kiss me? Why did he call me 'hon'?

My first kiss ever came from a stranger! So perhaps my heart is whipping too fast until these times, and it appears like it wishes to lunge for pleasure. His breath smelled so aromatic. His lips are so soft and kissable. I smirked even though my supposed reaction was outrage. Why would a stranger decide to kiss me?
