"I see you seem to have resolved your misunderstanding," Melinda exclaimed and sat in between Leilani and me.

I tried to ruffle her hair, coincidentally, Leilani was also about to do the same. She ended up grabbing my hand while I held onto Melinda's hair.

"Sorry," she muttered and quickly pulled her hand away.

"I hope you two are not fighting over my hair," Melinda exclaimed, making me laugh, the same as Leilani.

"I'm glad you are on good terms now," she muttered and munched on a cookie she had gotten.

"Lookalike, Mum…" Melinda called, bringing our attention to her.

"I don't like it when the two of you get mad at each other or fight. It hurts and disheartens me. Promise me that from now on, you will quietly resolve whatever misunderstanding that arises between the both of you."

I quickly nodded in agreement to her words, and then the both of us stared at Leilani, waiting for her response.

She sighed.

"Alright, Linda. Let's leave now, I'm exhausted," she mumbled.

    LEILANI "Let me help you with that," Malcolm whispered from behind. I tried to utter a word of protest, but surprisingly, no word was forthcoming. I stayed rooted to the ground as he untied the apron and gently turned me around, in such a way that I was directly facing him. He pulled the apron off my head, his fingers lightly brushed past my neck, I felt jolts of electricity from within me, my body came alive for the first time in five years. I shuddered at this new feeling and looked up at him, only to see him staring down at me as if he also felt the new feeling. We both stood there lost in each other's gaze. Suddenly, his head began to move lower and his lips neared mine. I forced myself to look away, but couldn't. I felt entrapped in his gaze and lost in the desires he just awakened. Instead of looking away, I leaned even more. His lips finally met mine and he claimed it, taking me on a tantalizing but tempting joy ride. Our lips moved in sync. I melted in his hold and felt my leg

    ISABELLE Elodie kept trying to make me leave, but that wasn't any of my business, I came here to meet Frank, not her. Maybe she must have forgotten that no one can change my mind, except myself. I kept shut and let her waste her speech. To keep myself busy, I looked around their tastelessly furnished house to keep myself occupied. I glanced at a photo on the wall for a second. "Huh?" I muttered and looked at it again. It was a photo of Melinda alongside Elodie. They were smiling at each other and Elodie held her ever so dearly. "You know Melinda?" I asked and gazed at her. She doesn't reply and looks away. I tapped her arm. "How come you know Melinda? You've been living in Australia since forever?" I noticed she got tense. "Did I evoke this much fear in her?" The mere thought of it made me feel proud of myself for a job well done. "Of course, how wouldn't I know her, Melinda is such a sweet soul. And her mother, Leilani, I have no words for her. They are too lovely." I e

    ELODIEOnce I confirmed that Isabelle has indeed left the house. I wasted no time in locking the door. I headed for the bedroom, where I knew Frank and Miranda would definitely be. Getting in there, I found Miranda sitting on the bed, staring blankly into space, a weird behaviour I've been trying to correct. I sat in the space beside her."Where is daddy?"She glanced at me and pointed outside. "He left through the back door earlier.""Oh," I mumbled."He must have had something urgent to attend to."Miranda suddenly sighs and climbs into the bed, pulling the duvet over her head."What's wrong?" I asked in worry."I don't like daddy," she muttered, her voice so low that I almost didn't hear her."What?" I almost couldn't believe that she said that, but having known her, she wasn't someone that voices out her feelings. So, saying this now meant that she was really serious."Why?" I asked and gently pulled her into my arm."He is just not the father I always dreamt of having," she whisp

    LEILANI Malcolm had driven Melinda to school this morning before leaving. Sienna made me let him drive her to school, as she spent almost the entire night, making me see reasons why I should give Malcolm a chance. I lowered my head onto my desk and recalled my conversation with her last night. "Malcolm will not only be a great father to Melinda, but also a wonderful and loving boyfriend to you. Although I'm hoping your relationship will escalate to a point where the both of you will get married." "I haven't even given him a chance and you are talking about marriage," I cautioned her. She gave me a serious look and took my hand in hers. "All I want is for you and Melinda to be happy. And I see Malcolm fulfilling this wish of mine. Just give him a chance already, I'm sure he won't mess it up." She managed to convince me last night and when I ran into Malcolm this morning, she urged me to ask him to meet up and that I did. Now, here I am, seated and wondering if I made the right d

    MALCOLM Dressed in an exquisite white gown that hugged her curves at the rightful places. Leilani stood in front of me looking like a model straight out of a fashion runway. For the first time since I knew her, she was putting on makeup. It wasn't too much but was minimal and just the right amount to enhance her facial features. She looked like a goddess of beauty. My mouth fell open, merely staring at her. I rose from my seat in awe, no longer having any control of myself. I wanted those guys to keep their thoughts to themselves and know that she is mine and mine alone. "Are you okay?" Leilani asked and gently tapped my shoulder. Embarrassed, I cleared my throat and immediately pulled out a seat for her to sit. "I'm sorry for showing up late," she apologized. "Could this day be any better? In just a few minutes, my hot-headed baby mama has apologized twice to me." "I hope today never comes to an end," I mumbled. I kept peeking at her through the rear of my eyes. She seemed un

    LEILANI The moment I heard Melinda's voice, demanding to look too, I turned my face aside and stepped out of Malcolm's hold. I began to cough to clear the tense air. "Are you okay?" Malcolm asked and began to pat my back to help me calm down. "I'm…I'm fine," I stuttered and cleared my throat. "My legs were numb from sitting in the car for a long time. You know the eatery is quite far from here. So the moment I got out of the car, I lost balance. But then you caught me, and here we are," I blabbed, not making any sense. "You look cute right now, " Malcolm said, smiling. I felt my cheeks heat up and I looked down at the floor. "They are still there. Why won't you let me look?" Melinda's annoyed voice sounded. "That's one fierce daughter we have," Malcolm laughed. "You should go in before she pulls down the building. Tell her I will come to see her tomorrow." I nodded like an obedient teenager and waved at him. My heart thudded and I felt my body tingle. I could feel his eyes on

    LEILANI A cunning smile formed on my lips “Malcolm’s personal assistant can drive you to work. Is that okay with you, Malcolm?” “That's not a problem,” Malcolm readily agreed. “Better,” Melinda mumbled, this time, she stuck out her tongue before Sienna could think of doing that, “What are we still waiting for?” I asked and looked down at my wrist to check the time. Malcolm immediately called his assistant over and asked him to drive a blushing Sienna to work. After that, Melinda and I got into my car, Malcolm took the driver’s seat and we hit the road to Melinda’s school. “Mum I don't like Aunt Sienna,” Melinda complained halfway to her school. I didn't bother saying a word as I knew that after today, she and Sienna will become best friends. I was already used to their daily drama, so it didn't bother me when a bit. “Why won't you say a word? I said it before, you now like Aunt Sienna more than me, your own daughter," Melinda whined. "Enough, I will scold Sienna," I muttere

    MALCOLM After speaking with Leilani, my joy knew no bounds, I kept praying that noon would come quickly. The idea of picking up my daughter from school made me enthusiastic. It was something I always wanted to do right from the moment I learnt about Melinda’s existence. I kept whistling and doing my work with utmost pleasure and in high spirits. “I wonder what your baby mama told you that is making you act like an idiot,” Michael commented and left the couch where he was seated and walked over to stand in front of me. “Point of correction. She is not just my baby mama. She is my wife-to-be," I announced, smiling in delight. Michael scoffed. “She just accepted you yesterday. Don't be shocked when she rejects you today, keep smiling,” he mumbled. “Friend or foe, which one are you?” I asked and glared at him. ‘Whatever you see me as. I remember you once suspected me to be working for Lucian and your mum,” he laughed on saying this. I gazed at him and realized that my words might h

    LEILANI Here I am, seated on the sandy beach overlooking the vast water. However, instead of watching the water being pushed around by the waves like everyone else, My entire attention is on my two adorable kids, building sand castles in a corner. “Stop that, Melinda,” Miranda screams at Melinda who was so invested in destroying the sand castle she had built. “Let’s do something else, I’m tired of building sand castles every time we visit the beach,” Melinda yells and continues to kick and scatter the sand castle they had spent almost an hour building. “Melinda, stop that,” I yell, bringing their attention to me. “She doesn’t want to play with me,” Melinda complains, her eyes getting moist. “You mustn’t run around all the time,” I say, but Melinda was hearing none of it. She threw herself on the ground and began to roll herself on the floor. “Melinda, stop that,” I say, now pissed off at her unruly behaviour. She rises from the ground and grabs hold of Miranda’s swimsuit. “Th

    FIVE MONTHS LATER MIRANDA “Stop that Melinda!” I screamed as she continuously banged her spoon on a stainless plate, creating a loud disturbing noise. “You never like playing!” She screams back, giggling. “I’m trying to study,” I replied, pulling my hair. But my crazy twin smiled and banged the spoon on the plate even more loudly. “Fine,” I say, slamming my book shut and rising from the bed. “What do you want to do?” I ask. “Yes!” she screams and leaps up. It’s been five months since I was taken home by my real family, five months since I discovered Aunt Isabelle’s true colours, Five months since I found people who sincerely love me and wished the best for me. Honestly, my family has become the most important part of my life. I can never stay a day without seeing them. My mum, Leilani, treats me like I'm the most precious thing on earth, and most times I wonder why Melinda never gets jealous. My dad, on the other hand, treats me like I'm the most delicate thing on earth. He

    MIRANDA “Is that another me?” the little girl who looks exactly like me gasps I stood still, unable to say a word and watched as she also took steps towards me, her legs shaky and her eyes fixed on my face the entire time. Getting to me, she raises her hand to touch my face. But then, I am reminded of Aunt Isabelle's words about her being the major reason why my parents don't want me. "Don't touch me," I snarled and roughly shoved her aside. "I need to speak with Malcolm Blake and his wife," I said, older this time. "That's my mum and dad," the girl who looks exactly like me says. I glanced at her and eyed her unpleasantly. "I'm not dragging that with you," I snarled at her. "Anyone getting the duo, or I should barge in and find their suite myself?" I ask. "No, I'll call them," the lady says. Nodding my head at her answer, I stood still watching her make a phone conversation. "They'll be here soon," she says, putting down her phone. "So doppelgangers are real," the annoyi

  • Claiming My Baby Mama   Why are there two of me....

    MIRANDA I was so engrossed in the storybook Aunt Isabelle had purchased for me when I noticed someone trying to come into my room through the window. Scared, I got into the closet to hide myself. I would’ve called Aunt Isabelle, but then I recalled that she had warned me on several occasions to always keep my windows locked. Not wanting to get scolded by her, I carefully hid myself inside my closet and shut the door, heart beating erratically and waiting for the intruder to show up. However, after a long wait, no one showed up, making me look out of the closet. Then, I heard someone screaming for help. People asking for help was a normal occurrence in our neighbourhood. I’ve always watched a lot of people struggle with their captors. It was a daily occurrence that scared me. But then, I always watch to know who to look out for. Like always, I tiptoed to the window and that was when I caught sight of a familiar woman being pulled by the hair. For some reason, the way the man was tuggin

    "Miranda." I gasped and stared wide-eyed at my little angel staring down at me. The maniac kept tugging my hair to bring my attention to him, but then it was as if I couldn't feel any of those at this moment. My entire focus was on the little girl in the window. "Miran…" I try to call again. But then, I'm cut shut as a familiar voice calls out the name before I could complete it. "Miranda," Isabelle's annoying voice sounded. At that moment, I felt my skin crawl and my heart began to beat frantically. "Don't tell me Elodie and her husband gave my daughter to this witch," I mumbled, gripped by fear. Having witnessed what Isabelle is capable of, the last thing I want is to have her next to my loved ones. Most especially, my daughters, but it seemed like that was just my wishful thinking. Eyes still on the window, I watch my daughter's face lit up with a smile the moment Isabelle reaches her side. I watched, with tears trailing down my cheeks as Isabelle fondly pats my daughter's hai

    LEILANI “What?” I gasp in shock. Malcolm ignores me and rises from his seat. I grab hold of his hand to stop him from walking away. “How can you just drop an information like this and suddenly try to leave without explaining things to me?” I ask, still in shock. Disbelief clearly written on my face. “What? You suddenly want to believe my words right now?” Malcolm asks and pulls his arm off my grasp. “Malcolm,” I whisper in shock at the force he used in pulling his hand away. “What Leilani? What! I'm sick and tired of constantly having to explain myself to you countless number of times. I try to please and understand you all the time, but you keep making things hard for me. Tell me, do you even believe what I just said about Elodie?” He suddenly throws a question at me. I stare at him without saying a word. Honestly, this news is a shocker and I'm having a hard time believing it. “See, you don’t,” he says. Casting one last look at me, he dumps his cutleries, not caring if they f

    LEILANI “When did we suddenly get to this?” I ask myself. I stood in place, too shocked to move. This was the first time a gun was being pointed at me. Yeah, I live in the United States, and shooting often occurs. But then, this is the first time I’m actually witnessing it. I watched as the guy pulled the trigger. “Is this my end?” I ask. Suddenly, I’m snatched like I weigh nothing and thrown aside. “You really want to die, don’t you?” Malcolm’s angry voice echoes. His voice sounded so far away, yet I was in his arms. My focus was on the masked guy trying to get away. I watch as he slips into one of the hospital rooms. “Baby,” Malcolm calls, shaking me rigorously. “Huh,” I answer absent-mindedly. “Leilani!” he suddenly yells my name. Making me snap out of whatever trance I was in. “He tried to shoot me,” I mumble. “I almost died without meeting my daughter,” I begin to cry. “Almost, but you didn’t,” he says, pulling me further into his arms. “She is dead,” I mumble, point

    LEILANI The moment Frank runs past us with his skinny wife in his arms, Malcolm and I immediately run after him. Getting outside the building, Frank runs over to an old truck that looks like it will break down at any minute. “Are you honestly taking her to the hospital with that?” I ask “Let’s use my car,” Malcolm calls after him. Soon, we all got into Malcolm’s car, and he speeds to the hospital. Getting to the hospital, Elodie is lowered into a stretcher and wheeled into the emergency room. Malcolm and Frank goes off, as Frank mentions that he would like their family doctor to attend to her since he works here. I watch as both of them walk away in search of the doctor. Frank’s sister and I rushes after Elodie, who was already wheeled to the emergency room. “Has something like this happened to her before?” I queried her. She gave me one downgrading look and didn’t bother to answer. It is already bad enough that I haven’t seen my daughter even when I’m already in Colorado. Now,

    LEILANI "You should pull yourself together, Lani. I'm sure you don't want Melinda to worry about you," Malcolm says the moment he ends the call. I didn't say a word and quietly snuggled into his chest. Honestly, I, too, knew I must have frightened Melinda. Heaven knows how she is feeling right now. This is one of the reasons why I said I'm not a good mother. "I'll go heat the milk. You need something to help you calm down," Malcolm says and proceeds to leave the room. Just as soon as he leaves, my phone rings, and I realize it's Sienna after speaking with Sienna. I felt calm and knew that I didn't need the milk to calm me down again, as my best friend had already did. I rose from the bed and found my way down the stairs. I was barefooted, so my feet barely made any sound. Getting to the kitchen, I found Malcolm on a call with his back turned on me. Not wanting to distract him from the call, I quietly stood behind him while waiting for him to finish answering the call. "You mean my
