CHAPTER 8
[ Emily ] Looking out the car to clear her mind, Emily noticed the scenery had changed more like the car was taking a more secluded route, the road was empty except their car . Emily looked round then looked at Susan. “Where are we going?, This route looks strange .”Emily asked a little bit scared “This is the way to our Villa, my husband didn't like the city life he liked peace and quiet .”Susan said smiling “It's beautiful .”Emily said, looking out again relieved. “Casper and Amelia never stayed here , Amelia liked the city life, I hated the fact that she took my son away from us at that time .”Susan said with a little frown Emily didn't know Why Susan said it but it sounded like a warning . “I don't have any say in his daily life , don't expect me to act as a dutiful wife and daughter in-law .”Emily suddenly said coldly Susan immediately sighed, not Knowing how to continue. Emily was wowed by the gate, it looked like a wall blocking the outside world from what's inside. The gate opened automatically when the car got closer.”All the cars have been scanned , no other car can enter inside the Villa without being scanned.”Susan said Emily was too stunned to speak , the path leading to the Villa itself was adorned with beautiful flowers matching aesthetic and scenery. Driving to the main house was another journey . Emily noticed that they were men on black suit all over the place .”Who are this people ?.”Emily asked Susan Susan hesitated before answering .”Just bodyguards , they work 247 .”Susan said When the Villa came into view , Emily couldn't help but open her mouth in surprise.” This is a fucking castle.” Emily cried out “This is just the outside , wait till you see the inside.”Susan said smiling and enjoying the look on Emily's face Their car came to a halt and some guards came quickly to open the door with something in their hands. “Our house has the most top notch security system which is hard to crack, but some measures are taken to achieve that.”Susan paused looking at Emily's confused face “Any time we go out and come back home they will be guards with scanner to scan you for bugs .”Susan said “Bugs?.” Emily asked totally confused “Yes, listening devices or bombs all these can be planted on your body without you knowing.” Susan said “That's crazy.” Emily said “Enough of the boring talk, this is Adam and Harry they are your own guards while Stacy is your personal maid.”Susan said introducing the three new faces Emily didn't know what to do nor say at this point. “This is Casper's wife and you have to give her the same respect you give to Casper. “Susan said sternly “Welcome home young madam. “Stacy said smiling while the other men just made a bow “Am a little bit tired can you show me to my room.”Emily said feeling tired “Casper sent a message something came up in the office , hopefully he'll be joining us for dinner .”Susan said Emily breathed a sigh of relief.”Okay .”Emily managed to say “Am going out for some work . Take care of yourself and feel free .”Susan said going back inside the car Emily suddenly felt like a fish pulled out from the river immediately the car left. “Uhm Stacy can you assist me to my room.” Emily said politely “This way , young madam.” Stacy said with a smile “Call me Emily.” “It's against the rules here. I'm sorry I can't.” Stacy said bowing “Just take me to my room .”Emily said not wanting to argue now The Villa or should i say castle was beautifully decorated ,I would have felt like a princess but the situation . “This is your room and the one opposite is the Masters room .”Stacy said opening the door The room was two times bigger than any room I have ever stayed in before . The arrangements and the ambience were so soothing. I immediately sat on the bed which was so soft .”You can leave now.” I said already sleepy “Okay ma'am.” Stacy said leaving quietly I stood up observing the place , there was another door which I am assuming is the closest. The closet was filled with different sections , shoes , clothes of different styles , color etc . This is so overwhelming. What is he going to do when he finds out I am fake? Better not think about that now. The bathroom was as big as my former room , how Rich are they. I immediately went back to the bathroom to catch some sleep . This life isn't going to last forever , I'll have to start brainstorming for revenge ideas . Dan and Cheryl, you guys are not going to see this coming.Chapter 9[ Casper ]Casper stood facing the window , his face devoid of any emotion - this was the Casper everyone was used to , cold as the North Pole.“Evan, did you manage to track down the intruder?” Casper said his voice sending shiver down Evan's spine“We tracked him but the person has inside information , he changed location twice and we lost him.” Evan said the last part slowly trying to get Casper's reaction before continuingBefore Casper could respond someone entered the office .” Ryan , what are you doing in my office?.”Casper asked the person without turning back“Wow am honored , my beloved brother .”Ryan said sarcastically“Evan see him out.” Casper said coldly“Mr Ryan the president is busy now , maybe we can schedule a meeting some other time.” Evan said trying to walk Ryan out without offending him“You didn't tell me you got married again .” Ryan said ignoring Evan Immediately he said that Casper turned around looking at Ryan.”How does that bother you.”Casper ask
Chapter 10 Dan and Cheryl have been living their life in harmony since they managed to deceive the public about the death of Emily. Cherly also deceived Dan , he has been pampering her due to her pregnancy. She was starting to live her dream life .Due to the fact that Emily wasn't popular amongst the public , she was quickly forgotten and Cheryl was known as the soon to be Mrs Roger.The public din't see anything bad with the fact that Cheryl was Emily's best friend and she's getting married to Dan.Cheryl stood in the room with a contented smile.” Dan there will be a fashion show coming up soon , I'll be thrilled if I'm given the chance to model the clothes.” Cheryl said hugging Dan from the back“I'll speak with the organizer .”Dan said enjoying the way Cherly was touching him“You know the doctor said we have to be careful not to hurt the baby.” Dan said stopping her movementCheryl was angry that he stopped her but she still acted like an understanding girlfriend.” I know , I
Chapter 11 [ Casper ]Ryan was adopted by Mr Hallow , his parents were best friends to Mr and Mrs Hallow . They died in the hands of the Mexicans, Susan and her husband were the target initially but Ryan's parents took the fall for them . Ryan was 10 years old when they adopted him while Casper was 7 years old. There has always been this between them which was not resolvable till date.Ryan was suspected of poisoning Casper when Casper was 15 but unfortunately a guard saw him and he was saved. Casper tried telling everyone that Ryan was the Mastermind but his father didn't believe.Ryan went ahead to tell him that everything he has will eventually be his , but when Mr Hallow died and the will stated that Casper would carry on the legacy , Ryan declared war against Casper and Susan .Ryan was given a company according to the will. He ran the company down and Casper reluctantly gave him a position in his company.Casper sat in his hotel room thinking about what his mother said . C
Chapter 12 [ Emily ] Today would be the first time I'll be leaving the Villa since I returned from the hospital, the Villa is equipped with everything you would need .I hate the fact that Casper is the one taking me to the hospital, Susan said she'll be back tomorrow .Am standing in the front of my closet confused about what to wear. My bump is a little bit visible now and I have added a little bit of weight.I decided to wear a pair of loose trousers and a hoodie .” Simple and comfortable .” I said hugging myself when an intruder decided to disturb my peace of mind.“ You look beautiful, baby.” Casper said walking in I think he still need a check up with the doctor , I look like a fucking potato in a sack and he's saying am beautiful.“ Have told you not to enter my room without knocking , what if I was naked .” Emily said trying to hold back the anger“ Have told you , we aren't supposed to sleep separately. I am going to move in with you or you move in our room.” Casper said m
Chapter 13[ Casper ] This night is the Mexican ball, Athens would be coming from Russia any moment from now . Athens has been my childhood friend and at one point we had a sexual relationship.She hates Amelia because she claims Amelia took me away from her, her father was one of the best assassin's and now the name has been passed on to her. She's a fighter , you are never going to think she can fight that is why I'm taking her with me.My mom is currently at home with Amelia , Amelia's attitude changed completely after the visit to the hospital, more distant . The doctor said it's part of pregnancy.Mom is aware of my plans tonight , and am not going to risk Amelia's safety for a party . Athens is a skilled fighter so taking her with me is an advantage.“ The Don summoned me .” Athens said barging into my office with a seductive dress , seems like she's not giving up anytime soon.“ Welcome to NYC , have Evan prepped you about the mission.” Casper asked“ Ivan don't go all bossy o
Chapter 14[ Emily ] I got a call from Susan that Casper was taken to the hospital. I don't know why I was so worried. Susan said she'll come over so we both can go to the hospital. I quickly wore a simple dress and put my hair in a ponytail. “ Emily, sorry for dragging you into this again.” Susan said as soon as she saw Emily“You don't have to say that, you guys saved my life and am ready to help anytime.” Emily said “ He was shot and am scared , what if he wakes up and starts refusing treatment .” Susan explained to Emily“ Let's hurry .” Emily said making Susan smile a little bitOn reaching the hospital the nurse directed us to his ward.Casper was lying down looking a little bit pale and a beautiful woman was sitting near him. If you didn't know, you'll think she's his girlfriend or wife.“ Casper , how did you get shot .”Susan said sadly “Mom , you don't have to scold Ivan . He took the bullet for me . We didn't expect our car to be attacked .” Athens said bowing her head
Chapter 15[ Emily ]Casper has been discharged from the hospital today and i'm home waiting for them. I made excuses just to stay at home since Athens is always threatening or glaring at me. Am not going to fight for a man I don't even love - are you sure Emily ? I asked myself in disbelief.“ Stacy, I want chips. “ I said pouting , my relationship with Stacy had improved since , she now talks to me freely.“Get the bags to his room, Athens get the other things.” Emily heard Susan sayingWhat the ? , why's Athens still coming here ?. This is fucked up. Emily took her chips to the direction of their voices.“Welcome back home guys.”Emily said munching on her chips avoiding Athens gaze“Oh my dear , how have you been?.” Susan said smiling at herCasper looked a little bit better than the last time she saw him, His shoulders were bandaged with Athens supporting him.“ Amelia go and help Casper to his room , don't stand there lost.” Susan said and she could feel Athens gaze on her.C
Chapter 16Athens has always fantasized about herself and Casper getting married and having beautiful kids , when he introduced Amelia to her she was heartbroken and she moved back to Russia.She named her fashion house AI which is Athens and Ivan. She was the only person who could call Casper Ivan but now he doesn't even want it.Nobody informed me he had an accident, maybe seeing that girl made him think she was Amelia . Athens found out her real name was Emily Rogers, She is beautiful and Susan said she was pregnant. At least she doesn't look hard to get rid of .She quickly sent a message telling her to meet her some where to talk.My fashion house is one of the biggest and popular, my dream was to become an actress and model. I didn't get to pursue the dream so am now helping others.My dad was killed by the Mexicans when i was 18 , I started training hard to be able to fight them , am thirty years now and u think it's time to pay them back. Emily received Athens text but she d
Chapter 74[ Casper ]The drive to the hospital was long and I was hoping nothing happened to Matthew. Ryan has taken too many people from me and he's keeping his promise . The day I finally have him I'll give him a very painful and slow death.We finally reached and I rushed out to the ambulance.“What's happening ?.” I asked the nurse who was with him inside“ We're losing him , we have a short time to save him, the bullet touched his heart.” The nurse said while writing something down.He was wheeled inside the hospital quickly .“No, I want to see him , he promised not to get hurt .” He heard Emily's voice She was only wearing shorts and a crop top with fluffy slippers.“Where's Matthew ?.”She asked him“In the OR. “ Casper answered simply“Emily, I told you we have everything under control , don't run out of the house like that again.” Hardin said walking towards them panting“ Susan was crying and she had blood on her ,I overheard her saying Matthew might not make it . What hap
Chapter 73[ Matthew ]“Weakling “. Ryan said smiling at him on the floor“Ryan, are you scared that Casper's going to take everything and leave you with nothing , that 's why you are trying so hard to kill him .” Matthew said trying to stand up but the pain was too much he was losing blood“ Am not scared of Casper , I just want him to lose everything he loves , that's what I promised him and you know it's not good for someone to break his promise .” Ryan said chuckling at the last partRyan was really psycho . Matthew stood up in pain and pointed the gun at Ryan.“So you know she's not his wife, you just like tormenting people's lives.” Ryan said “ Yes. The girl's pretty so I might keep her .” Ryan said“Don't even go near her, she doesn't have anything to do with Casper . She hates him as much as you do .” Matthew saidRyan shot at Matthew's hand which was holding the gun .” Arrrrrrrr!.” Matthew yelled falling down“Do you think you can defeat me ,No ?.” Ryan asked with a smirk
Chapter 72[ Ryan ]“Fuck!, Fuck ! , Fuck ! .” Ryan yelled punching the wallHow did they manage to track me down? “ Boys get the truck ready . And fast .” Ryan yelled again “ Sir , there are everywhere we can't go through the front door even the escape route . They have the blueprints for the building.” The man said“Then we attack , give me the gun , how many are there ?.” Ryan asked“They are approximately 50 or so .” He answered“Got it. Go away .” Ryan said moving out angrilyHe was going to kill any one he sees , it's going to be bloody.FLASHBACK…“ Casper , this is Ryan, he's your brother now and you're going to make him feel comfortable here .” Mr Hallow said Casper nodded before moving to the boy. He was excited to have a brother , being an only child was lonely.Ryan knew Casper because when his father comes home he usually praises him , always comparing him to Casper .He hated Casper and this was the opportunity to show his dislike . He blamed the death of his parents
Chapter 71[ Matthew ]I was getting ready for the mission tomorrow , we'll be going to Ryan's hideout . Susan already arranged everything I saw her talking to her men and some of caspers men , so I decided to join her . I really didn't have any close relationship with Ryan. He just likes destroying things.Eight years ago they came to France for a holiday . Ryan was like a senior brother to me so I tried getting closer to him. I remember how he shot my pet , it was a gift from my dad before he was found dead . I have hated him since then.I asked Emily to make me a meal at least it'll distract her , she's like a sister to me and when Susan told me her story I was very sad . I already have plans for the so-called ex-husband and if Casper doesn't work things out with her I am ready to ask her out .“ Susan, what time are we leaving ?.” Matthew asked Susan who was busy checking out somethingsSusan is a very strong and successful woman , she is the female version of a Mafia Don .“ D
Chapter 70[ Casper ]“Ryan don't fucking play games with me , I already told you she's not my wife. Ask Mom and she'll explain it to you . Don't fucking mess with me again .” Casper said hanging upMy head is about to blow off because of the issues at hand. I have to go to Russia for meeting again , Ryan is acting like a fucking idiot .“Hey man you don't have to come here I'll take Emily with me. Don't act like an ass when she arrives .” Hardin said hanging upHe wasn't far from the Villa he wanted to go to Hardin but he changed his direction. He saw his mother playing with Emily's baby at the entrance.“ Casper, where's Emily ? .” Susan asked Mason stretched out his hands for me to pick him up , I immediately picked him up . The baby loves me and I love him too I took him up to his nursery and fed him while we were playing. When Emily entered the room , she was shocked to see me playing with her child . I know I said something bad the last time at the hospital but it was out of
Chapter 69[ Emily ]Everything looks the same , the position of the guards , the maids , the flowers , just the same way they have been . What am I even thinking I was just a visitor , Emily do expect anything to Change because you left .I didn't even notice the car had stopped moving . “ Emily you have to come down , don't be scared, remember me .” Hardin said opening the door for her“ Thanks .” Emily said coming down“ Welcome home Emily , we missed you .” Susan said with hugging her with a warm smileI wouldn't even think of this place as my home for now , “ thanks Susan , where's Mason.” Emily asked looking around “Uh-m he's with Casper , Mason wouldn't let Casper go immediately he saw him. “ Susan explained“ Oh hope he's not angry, I don't want any problem with him. “ Emily said she remembered what he said at the hospital “ Go have a look , the both of them are having fun.” Susan said with a smile“Emily , I'll be right back . Someone needs to clean up the mess back at the
Chapter 68[ Emily ]This is getting more scary , some guys are outside shooting at us, thank goodness Matthew came back early and my son isn't here, if not I don't know what I would have done . Why are they shooting at us? .“Just calm down, have already called Hardin, he's on his way , just stay here and I'll go outside and see .” Matthew said checking round the room maybe for a weapon“ Please don't leave me here , what if they find me . They'll kill me Matthew .” Emily said holding Matthew from leaving“ Just hide under the bed or inside the wardrobe and I'll cover you with something .” Matthew said trying to calm her down , the shooters was getting closer“ I'm scared and I'm sure they will hear my heart beat when they enter the room. Don't go, let's just wait for Hardin together.” Emily saidThe gunshot was getting closer to the room they were hiding ..“ Emily, I have to hold them back. If not , even if Hardin comes here he can't save us, it would be too late .” Matthew exp
Chapter 67 [ Dan ]“, Cherly this isn't the time for sex am almost late .” Dan said pushing Cherly off his body“I understand honey , remember the scandal last time, a company contacted me to work for them . Surprising isn't it.” Cherly said “ Well just be careful .” Dan said walking to the bathroomThe both of them settled their differences and agreed on trying for a child again instead of dwelling on the past. An investor was coming to the company today and he needed to be there earlier to put some things in place. “ Cherly not now I might be late.” Dan said pushing Cherlys hands from his crotch “Just let me baby , I am sure you are enjoying it and you are the CEO of the company. Nobody can oppose you.” Cherly said“Okay baby , do your thing .” Dan said allowing her When Dan reached the company he was extremely late.

Chapter 66[ Athens ]Two years ago ….I arrived in London , my hair was already cut short. This mission was a very important mission and my disguise needed to be flawless. There's a small Mafia trying to distribute contraband drugs and pin it on the Russian or Mexican .My name is going to be Trish Scott , and I am currently on a vacation with my boyfriend . My identity has already been uploaded in case someone suspects me or the others .It has already been two weeks since my arrival. My work here was almost done but my stupid ass got drunk and someone saw my tattoo which I forgot to cover up.

Who knew I would meet this idiot here.“Fuck !.” I shouted after the guy that saw me tried to shoot me“ Why are you here , are you the spy sent by the Russians or Mexicans.” The guy was asking dragging her out of the club“Let go of my hands. I don't know what you are talking about , w
