We live in a world full of people pretending to be something they are not.

Do you have someone that looks exactly like you? Well, I do and her name is Faith. She's my sister that is 2 years older than me. Even though we are not twins, we look identical. People mistake us for each other all the time. 

One day, when my sister gets into an arranged marriage, she wants out. She plans this ridiculous plan for us to swap roles. I will get married 'pretending' to be her, while she lived pretending to be me. As time goes by, I start falling in love with someone I should not have.

A/N: The sequel has been posted and it is about Hope and Lucas's daughter. They will be in it, but it will be mostly about their daughter.

Right now she doesn't live with you alright? That was the Faith in love with you. This Faith is in love with me" That's it. That was the strike of lightning. Dante pushed many buttons but that was the ignition. Xavier slammed him hard to the opposite wall from Faith's room. Normally he kept to himself because he was much bigger, taller and far more of an advantage to fight Dante but the asshole couldn't keep his mouth shut. Dante grasped his hands but it was no use. Xavier had pounds on him. "I will break your fucking neck you hear me?" He snapped. "We wouldn't even be in this bullshit if it wasn't for you. You should've been on that damn bed. You should've got shot and fell off a flight of stairs. You should've been in a fucking coma. It's your fault! You didn't protect her or Haven you bastard" He slammed him again.
