Chapter 4:Locked up with a stranger

Adela pov

I sat down at a corner watching the lady cry out her eyes, she still doesn't want to come out from her space and won't stop crying.

I sighed, I was getting tired of all this and how long will I be kept here.

Suddenly, she stopped crying. I thought she might have fallen asleep while crying. That was possible even if the area wasn't comfortable.

"Why were you brought here?" She asked.

Ohh, she hasn't slept off.

"You said you were kidnapped, did your mafia abandoned you too?" She asked and sniffed. 

"Ohh no I don't belong to any of that, I am just an ordinary girl leaving in tue convent home." I said. 

"Huh? what are you doing then?" 

I shook my head slowly. "I don't just know. Firstly I was brought here because I was wrongly accused for stealing an important documents from that guy in charge." 

She gasped. "You stole from Don Alec?" 

I tilted my head as I furrowed my brows. "Did i just say I was wrongly accused, meaning I didn't but confusingly he thinks I did." 

"Don Alec has never mistaken his enemy with someone else." 

I shrugged. "Well no one is perfect, this could be his first because he is a human being." 

She gasped and crawled out from her space. She was a young girl with marks on her skins, her clothes were torn and she was looking like a mess. 

It obvious that she has being tortured and kept here for a long period of time. She had bruises on her face and body, some were looking fresh like she got them recently. 

"You don't dare speak ill of Don Alec, not when you're in his territory." She warned. 

"I wouldn't if I wasn't kidnapped. You don't have to be scared of him or what he does to people who speak ill of him." 

"You are a brave one, I don't think I would ever say what you're saying about him. I am scared of thoes people and I have no one to help me." 

"You have God." I pointed out. 

She stared at me confusingly,but then take a look at what I was putting on. "You're a Nun?" 

I smiled. "I would be in a year time." 

"So why would you be mistaken for someone else, Don Alec doesn't make mistake."She said. 

"I guess it complicated, he has a video of someone who looks like me coming out of the hostel, he said he had sex with the lady amd then the following morning, she took an important documents that belongs to him. He thinks I am that lady. I have tried to explain it to him but he doesn't want to listen. I won't blame him for believing what he saw than what he hears. "

"Do you know the lady in the video?" She asked. 

I shook my head. "No I don't, I have no idea that someone looks exactly like me in New York." 

"She could be your identical sister." 

"I have no sister, I was born and raised in the convent home. If I had, I would know." 

"How would you know?" She asked. 

"I was born and raised im the convent home, Didn't you just hear me say that?" I asked. 

"She might have being taken from your mother or stolen." She shrugged. "You won't know that." 

"No nothing like that happened." I admitted. 

"How would you know? You were just a baby." 

"I would know because the Nuns who were there when I was born would have told me." 

"They could have lied about it and you wouldn't know." She said freely. 

No they wouldn't. 

I chuckled dryly. "No they won't do that. They have never lied to me." 

Sue scoffed. "The people you trust the most will always be the one that hurts the most. The pain would hurt more than anything in this world, you might not be able to move on with it." 

I shook my head. "No I don't want to believe that. They are my family, and family doesn't hurt themselves." 

She chuckled. "I was told Nun were the most gullible human beings om earth, never knew it was true. So how would you explain that lady who looks like you in the video?"

I couldn't say anything because I was also confused. 

"If you can't explain that to Don Alec then you are going to die without knowing the truth." 

"What truth?" I asked. 

"The true identity of your look alike." 

"She isn't my lookalike, we are nothing alike." I said. 

"Really?" 

"Well yeah, I mean we might have a similar resemblance but she is nothing like me. I don't sleep with strangers or steal." 

Sye smiled weakly. "So because of that you won't want to know who she is?"

"I don't know who she is, and I find out when Iam being locked up in here." 

"You have to figure it out if you really want to know the truth, and a better lie to convince Don Alec that you're not who he thinks you are." 

She was right, if I don't have a better explanation about what's happening, this people would kill me.
