Ariana POVAs I entered the room, all eyes swiveled towards me with a palpable sense of incredulity. "Ariana?" Blaine breathed out in a daze of astonishment and bewilderment.After hearing about the attack, my heart was racing as I replied, "Yes it's me. I came right away."Blaine inquired with an aura of tension, "What brings you here?""I needed to witness it firsthand. There's a lot that has gone awry, and I believe it is high time we have a conversation," I stated while glancing back and forth at Marcus, Elena, and Cherry who remained quiet in the distance."You want to talk about what?" Marcus challenged, defensively crossing his arms. "After being in a coma and suddenly showing up now? We thought you were...""I understand," I reassured him, my voice now calm and composed. "Although he may be gone, I am alive. After all, I was hospitalized for the purpose of recuperating.""What do you mean recover? Is it from your accident?" Elena asked, her eyes narrowing."I unearthed somethi
Camilla's POV“What! Why do you look like me?” a gasp escaped my mouth looking at the lady, who looked exactly like me, in front of me.“That should be my question, why do you look like me, woman?” the lady questioned, and my eyes widened in surprise when I understood what was going on.A doppelganger? A doppelganger was the best bet because the lady in front of me looked so much like me, and my mind went back to what happened this early morning before I encountered this scenario.The sound of loud music blasted through my room as I swayed my hips to the beat while singing along, and also getting dressed to go out. That was my routine while growing up, because I dreamt of also being a superstar one day, and people listened to my songs, but I stopped dancing immediately when I noticed that the music had gone off.“Snap out of it, Camilla!” I heard my mother scream, and I felt a slap on my butt. I groaned in pain as I turned to face my mother, and her angry face got me smiling so wide.
Ariana's POV“What do you mean you have to go see someone?” I heard my fiance ask, and I hissed in frustration wondering why he never understood a word I said.“It is just as I said. I have to meet someone today, and I don't think you can stop me,” I deadpanned, and went to sit in front of the vanity table while touching up my makeup.“You are one cocky princess, aren't you?" He mocked, and my grip on my make-up brush tightened hearing his demeaning words but that's Blaine Sanders for you.Blaine Sanders is my fiance, and we are getting married in a week's time, and just like other couples you might think that we are brimming with love but we are different. We couldn't even stand the sight of each other, but that was only for him though. I could stare at Blaine for the whole day because he was the man you could call an eye candy. He was blessed with awesome features that made him stand out among his peers.“Are you even listening to what I am saying?” he asked standing beside me, and
Camilla's POVI walked towards the door after seeing my mom and seeing the grave look on his face, I knew all was not well.“Are you the patient's guardian?” the middle-aged doctor asked me, and I nodded my head slowly. “I am sorry to inform you but your mother has stage 2 stomach cancer,” he announced, and a gasp left my mouth.My eyes got misty at the news, and I felt sorry for my mom. How could she have coped with the symptoms without me getting to know?“Doctor, please save her!” I begged, and he explained that the cancer hadn't spread, and it could be operated on. “But the money for the surgery is $50,000 , and the follow up care will be quite expensive”, he explained, and my face went pale after hearing his words.I walked out of the doctor's room, and I had run out of energy after hearing the bills, but I knew I had to think of ways to find it.“Get your act together, Camilla! Your mother has to live, and…" I was saying but I trailed off knowing there was no way I could cough o
Camilla's POVI walked gently towards the hospital room, and I was surprised to find the girl who had the same face as me lying lifelessly on the bed with different machines attached to her body.“She is going to survive right?” I asked the cold man beside me almost choking on my tears, and he sighed. “Yes, but not soon, and that's why I need you,” he says, and I scoff at hearing his words.He was briefed on what he wanted from me, and I couldn't believe that he could do that to his fiance.How could he want me to pretend to be his bride on the day of their wedding? Does that even make sense?“I don't think I can do that, your fiance is still sick, and I don't think…” I was saying but he cut me off.“I am sure that is what she would also want this, better than having all the country sympathizing with her she is going to want this too," he says, but I wasn't convinced.There was no way a woman would be comfortable with another woman dating her man, and I knew that Ariana was going to b
Camilla's POV“I really think that we should have waited till my mother's surgery,” I said solemnly while walking beside the man as we walked through the airport.“Really? But my stocks can't wait,” Blaine beamed, and I scoffed, wondering how a man could be so ruthless. He doesn't even have an ounce of responsibility.“Are you always treating her like this too?" I asked out of whim, and the man's steps halted immediately hearing my words, and I bit my lips knowing that I had just gone back on my words.Before we left Paris the man warned me not to refer to Ariana at all because I am now Ariana, but it looks like I need much intervention in controlling my tongue.“Looks like you need a reminder, Miss Ariana but you don't dare spurt a word out of your mouth referring to another person which is you,” he warned, sneering at me coldly, and I nodded my head at him.“Don't mind me,” I say, bowing my head, and I watched his assistant rush up to us, and that was when I noticed that people were
Camilla's POV“Why are you not saying anything Ariana?” the lady asked, scrutinizing me with her eyes, and I bit my lips anxiously hearing her words.What am I to say? Do I say no, I am not Ariana but her substitute, and that's why I don't remember you. I wondered, and I hoped that Blaine was going to arrive and save me from the trouble.“I…I..” I was trying to find the best lie to save myself from the trouble but I heard a cold voice behind me.“What is going on here?” I heard Blaine's cold voice behind me, and I felt relieved to hear his voice, and I have never longed for someone as I longed for him that much.I noticed the girl disturbing me looked flustered seeing Blaine, and she rearranged her hair and tried to look presentable.What was that?“Oh, Mr. Sanders, you are here? I am only trying to make Ariana comfortable..” she was saying but Blaine cut her off coldly. “Ariana? Don't you think you are too comfortable with your future madame? You guys are not even friends,” Blaine sa
CAMILA's POV:I froze, my heart racing as I stared at the beautiful woman who looked exactly like me, exactly like Arianna, staring at us with wide questioning eyes."I-I……." I stammered, thinking of the best way to escape this situation but my mind was blank. "W-we were…."I stopped talking immediately. Blaine's eyes locked onto mine, a warning sign to keep quiet which I so desperately wanted to do but it was already too late.The woman whom I suspected to as Arainna's mother was looking at us and I wouldn't be surprised if she had already heard our conversations.No one answered the woman but my mind reeled with numerous possibilities and actions of escape. I knew I had to do something or else, I would be in prison for impersonating and pretending to be a wealthy heiress when I was only a singer in a local bar.Who's to say Blaine wouldn't forsake me when my cover is blown?"Nothing, Mother," I tried to cover up, forcing a wide smile onto my face. "Just a little controversy with Mr.
