Chapter 3
Mario really was a bastard.
The meeting he wanted me to attend was a welcome ceremony for Priya.
It was also the first time I'd laid eyes on her. The resemblance was uncanny; she looked startlingly like me.
I gave a helpless, bitter smile.
It seemed Mario's dramatic rescue back then was all thanks to the woman standing before me.

"I see you found a cheap copy to keep your bed warm, Mario."
Priya's personality was pure fire. She shot me a lazy, dismissive glance, her words dripping with venom.
