Celine Anderson

Celine Anderson will never forget the overwhelming panic that seized her three years into her job at Apex Media, the moment the new employee walked into the office. The same hair, the same eyes, the same face... a 95% identical twin to Mark, her deceased ex-husband. For five long years, Mark made Celine's life a living hell—ruthless, fiercely jealous, and brutally abusive, sending her to the hospital on two separate occasions. He hunted her across two states when she demanded a divorce, until a fatal car accident four years ago finally ended the nightmare. Yet, the scars remained. Celine still suffers from nightmares and frequent therapy sessions. Seeing this new employee shattered her fragile peace. But unlike Mark, he is a breath of fresh air—cheerful, witty, polite, warm, hardworking, constantly smiling, and beloved by everyone in the marketing department. Everyone except Celine. Driven by unresolved trauma and sheer resentment, Celine made his life hell for three straight weeks as Head of Marketing. Her mind was so consumed by the past that she would often accidentally call him "Mark" in front of colleagues, instantly catching herself with cold hostility. She was harsh, unreasonable, and utterly unfair to a blameless employee. Today, it all exploded. After a mistake made by another staff member, Celine dragged him into her office and unleashed years of built-up rage. When he gently defended himself, she lost control—slapping him across the face and screaming, "Shut up, Mark!" Instead of reacting with anger, he looked at her with soft understanding and softly said: "I'm not Mark... I don't know any Mark. But if it helps you... you can vent your anger on me." Overwhelmed by tears and suffocating guilt, Celine shoved him out of her office. Now, standing outside his apartment door in the dead of night, clutching an old photograph of Mark in her trembling hands, she knows she has to face the truth...
