A week later, I was woken up by Ian's phone call. He informed me that I needed to accompany Mickle to a dinner party tonight. I was half asleep when I asked him if I needed to wear any kind of dress. He just told me that the driver would pick me up later to pick up some clothes from the fashion store.So I hung up the phone and slowly got up to brush my teeth and wash my face. During this time, Frade would be at company meetings, and we hadn't had breakfast together in the morning for a long time. As the pregnancy progressed, I became more and more sleepy. Sometimes I could sleep all day.When I finished my breakfast, the housekeeper informed me that there was a car waiting for me outside the door. I changed into a comfortable casual outfit and left the house.The driver drove me to a high-end custom dress shop, and as soon as I got out of the car, another car stopped.I saw Mia dressed up in a sexy dress as she got out of the car, wearing a pair of oversized black sunglasses, accompa
In the evening, Frade and I took a car to the Hilton Hotels where the banquet was being held. As soon as we got out of the car, we were surrounded by reporters with cameras pointing at us. Frade tried not to let them touch my body, so he put his body next to mine to protect me.At this time, from not far away came the sound of sports cars. The reporters were attracted by the sound one after another, and they all looked in the direction of the sound.“It's Mia!” One of the reporters shouted while others pointed cameras at Mia as she stepped out of the sports car.Mia put on delicate make-up tonight. She's wearing a red dress with the sides split open and a diamond necklace around her neck. As she stretches one of her thin white legs out of the sports car, the sound of cameras rolling around.I was secretly glad that the reporters had finally turned their attention to Mia so that I could easily enter the hotel.But then the journalists' attention shifted again. I saw a group of them run
As I let go of Frade's hand, he asked puzzledly, “Aren't we going home now?”“Give me two minutes,” I said, and walked straight to Mia.Mia looked at Margaret, who was so angry that she blushed. She couldn't help showing the winner's smile. My heart tightened. She probably didn't know how much trouble she was in.“Mia, I need to talk to you.”“Just say it here.”Mia raised her champagne glass and took a sip of the orange liquid. “You have three minutes.”“Did you do it?” I lowered my voice. “Those pictures of Margaret at the club.”“How could I have been so stupid to do such a thing?” Mia said with a smile. “Besides, I have been in the USA all the time, and those photos were obviously taken while she was in Germany.”“Even if you don't tell the truth, I still have a way to find out the truth.”“Go ahead and check it out,” Mia said nonchalantly. “I don't have time for you. I have to find dad. He needs a capable daughter by his side.”She walked straight past me to Mickle, who had taken
“I'm going to check on her,” I said, pulling the door open when Frade stopped me.“You don't want to see her like this.” Frade closed the door. “I've called an ambulance. You'd better stay in the car at this time.”The sound of an ambulance rang out in front, and the passers-by in front of them immediately dispersed to make way for the medical staff. My heart felt like it was being pulled up. Although I don't like Margaret, I never thought she would die.“Should we follow the ambulance to the hospital?” I looked uneasily ahead as two men in ambulance uniforms prepared to carry the wounded to the ambulance bed.“No,” said Frade decisively. “The rest will be taken care of. We should get out of here.”There was an air of evasiveness in his words, and even if Margaret's accident had nothing to do with us, it was hard to imagine what they would have written in the newspaper the next day if we had been caught on camera.“Hans, go home,” Frade ordered.The car turned around and changed direc
The next morning, Frade went to work as usual, and when I was sleepy, I remember he kissed me goodbye. It was Liv's phone that woke me up. She told me that she had sent some messages to my email.So I got up and opened my laptop after washing my face. I opened my email. The latest email was filled with computer code and pictures I couldn't read."Liv, honey," I said as I picked up the phone. "You'd better explain to me what all these codes and pictures mean. You know I'm not IT.""I'm sorry.” Liv chuckled at the other end of the phone. "I knew sending these to you wouldn't work, but Mark insisted. He said there was evidence we found.""So?""The picture of Margaret in the nightclub was posted by an Australian internet user, but we looked up the IP address and found that it was just a virtual address. So it could have been a hacker. You know, the harder the question, the more it gets my attention.""Go on.""We cracked the firewall and broke into the hacker's computer. Then we found ou
At Castle Peak Nursing Home, I sat quietly in the living room and waited for Mia to arrive. I told Ian about my plans ahead of time, and he agreed to help me communicate with the director of the nursing home and give me an afternoon visit.“Why meet here?” A receptionist leads Mia into the living room, where she removes her oversized sunglasses and places them on the table.“I'd like a glass of ice water, please,” she said to the receptionist.The receptionist nods to get ice water for her, and Mia takes a sip from the glass.“What do you want me to do here?” Mia looked out the window at the green grass. “Don't tell me you wanted me here to see the scenery.”“There's someone I want you to meet,” I said, raising my voice. “Someone you know.”“Who?” Mia looked at me quizzically. “I don't remember any of my friends living here.”“Of course you do,” I said, waving to the receptionist. “Ruby, we can go.”“What the hell are you doing?” Mia grumbled as she reluctantly followed us.Ruby led u
I was knocked to the ground by Mia and fell against the glass coffee table, hurting my back. A teacup slid from the table and onto the ground.Mia was still holding onto me despite the teacup breaking practically simultaneously with my agony cries.“You made me do it.” Mia stared at me with wide, red eyes. “Why? Why do you always have trouble with me?”“Don't...” my voice cracked. “My baby... Don't kill it...”Would she kill my baby like Gina did? My sister, to this moment, I still hope to awaken her conscience. I didn't think she would actually kill me, but I was wrong.“I'm sorry, you have to die.” Mia tightened her grip. “Only when you die can I be the unique one. I don't want another face in the world that looks exactly like me.”Once again, I felt death coming. Like in my last life in prison, when Gina's dagger was thrust into me, the darkness slowly enveloped me. Will I die this time?“Stop!” The door burst open with a roar.Someone grabbed Mia's shoulder, and another man in whi
In the hospital, the door of the ward was violently pushed open, and then I heard Frade's voice.“Where is she?”“Calm down, Frade,” Liv said softly as she walked over to Frade. “Eva's right here. She's fine.”When the taxi driver took me to the hospital, the doctor couldn't get through to Frade's phone. Fortunately, Liv and Mark were nearby. The doctor then contacted Liv. In less than 20 minutes, Liv and Mark arrived at the hospital. Liv was with me until Frade arrived.“What happened?” Frade squeezed my hands. He tightened his facial muscles. “Who did this?”“I think I'll leave it to you two” Liv said, gesturing away at Mark, who was sitting on the couch.“Honey, are you okay?” Frade asked frantically. “I'm sorry I couldn't pick up the phone at a meeting. I came as soon as I got the message. Tell me what happened.”“I'm fine.” I put my head on his shoulder. “The baby's fine, too. But the doctors need me in the hospital for observation.”I didn't dare tell him that I was bleeding. He
