JENNA POV

I had barely slept. My thoughts kept racing all night. I turned over in bed, reaching out for Keith, but his side was empty and cold. Suddenly, I remembered where I was and a pang of loneliness hit me. I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself.

Today was going to be tough.

I got up and headed for the bathroom to splash some water on my face. I stared at my reflection in the mirror, the dark circles under my eyes a testament to my sleepless night. "Pull yourself together," I whispered to myself.

As I headed downstairs, I heard voices in the living room. I stopped at the bottom of the stairs, listening. Big Mama was talking to Nicola, their conversation hushed but intense.

"Keith won't be able to resist her," Big Mama was saying. "Laura is his Achilles' heel. He'll be back to his old self in no time."

Nicola replied, "Jenna's days may be numbered here. Poor thing." with a mocking tone in her voice.

Although I didn't understand what their conversation was supposed to mean

    "Where am I?" a voice interrupted and I flinched, turning my head to find Laura sitting up.She rubbed her eyes, looking around in confusion. Keith immediately moved back to her side, his concern evident."You're at my family's house," Keith explained gently. "You had a rough night, but you're safe now."I felt like an outsider in that moment, standing in the doorway of a scene that seemed too intimate, too complicated. I forced a polite smile and stepped back. "I'll give you two some privacy," I said, my voice sounding more distant than I intended.As I was about to start leaving, I felt Keith's hand grab mine. His eyes stared into mine convincingly as if telling me to stay.I forced a smile and remained there, feeling Keith finally let go of my hand.Laura's eyes flickered and then settled on me. A flash of something...Was it annoyance or curiosity?...crossed her face, but she quickly masked it and it disappeared as soon as it had come.She screamed, scared and shaking but Keith h

    "Excuse me," I murmured, stepping aside to let them pass. The doctor, a tall man with greying hair and a serious expression, gave me a curt nod before hurrying towards Laura's room. I watched them disappear down the hallway, a knot of worry tightening in my stomach.I found myself wandering through the mansion, my mind a whirlwind of emotions. I ended up in the garden, the cool air a welcome relief from the tense atmosphere inside. I sank onto a bench, burying my face in my hands."Why does everything have to be so complicated?" I whispered to myself. The sound of footsteps approached, and I looked up to see Yilena standing there, her expression softening when she saw me."Mind if I join you?" she asked, gesturing to the space beside me.I shook my head, scooting over to make room. "Of course not."Yilena sat down with a sigh, her gaze sweeping over the garden. "It's a lot to take in, isn't it?" she said gently.I nodded, unable to find the right words. She continued, her voice cal

    JENNA POVI was so happy by the time I got back to my bedroom. Keith had promised he'd show up and I couldn't be more glad.Luckily, even after weeks, my belly didn't like out. It felt weird but I believed it's referred to as a cryptic pregnancy.Well, I'm certainly seducing my husband either way.I changed into something more enticing, a silky nightgown that clung to my curves just right. I glanced at myself in the mirror, running a hand over my still-flat stomach. The thought of the baby growing inside me filled me with a mix of excitement and nerves. Tonight wasn't just about rekindling our connection; it was about starting our future together as a family.I heard the door open and I turned to see Keith standing there, his eyes darkening as they took in my appearance. "Jenna," he breathed, stepping into the room and closing the door behind him. "You look stunning."I walked over to him, my heart pounding in my chest. "I wanted tonight to be special," I said softly, wrapping my arm

    Keith's hands stilled, his body tensing against mine. The weight of Nicola's words hung in the air, heavy and undeniable. I could see the conflict in Keith's eyes as he looked at me, torn between the moment we were sharing and going back to Laura."Jenna," he began, his voice strained, "I have to go."I nodded, trying to hide my disappointment. "I understand," I said softly, my hand caressing his cheek. "Go. I'll be here when you get back."He kissed me one last time, a mixture of passion and regret in his touch, before pulling away.With one last glance at me, he opened the door and left, leaving me alone with my thoughts.I lay back on the bed, staring at the ceiling, my mind racing. Laura was awake. The name brought back a flood of emotions I thought I had buried the moment Keith and I had a heart-to-heart. She was Keith's first wife, the woman he had thought he'd lost forever. And now, she was back, demanding his presence.I shook my head and sat up, immediately turned off by the

    JENNA POVThe minutes ticked by, feeling like hours. I tried to stay calm, reminding myself that Keith loved me and that our future together hadn't changed. But the uncertainty gnawed at me, a constant reminder that our lives were about to take a dramatic turn.Finally, I couldn't take it anymore. I got up and threw on a robe, deciding to go downstairs and see what was happening. As I approached the living room, I could hear voices.I paused at the doorway, peering in to see Keith sitting beside Laura in bed.His back was turned to me but Laura was facing my direction, not seeing me but watching Keith intently.Keith held her hand gently. It looked so caring, so tender, and it made my heart ache. "Keith," Laura whispered, her voice trembling. "I remember bits and pieces, but everything feels so... confusing.""It's okay, Laura. You're safe now. We're going to help you through this," Keith reassured her, squeezing her hand.I wanted to be angry, to feel betrayed, but seeing Laura in s

    I froze, her question hanging in the air between us like a heavy fog. My mind raced, but I couldn't find an answer. I didn't know why Keith had cut off his family, and it stung me to realize that despite our closeness, there were parts of his life that were still a mystery to me.Laura's smirk grew wider, satisfaction gleaming in her eyes. "That's what I thought," she said, turning away to take a sip of her coffee. "Maybe it's time you start asking the right questions, Jenna."I stood there, feeling a mix of anger, confusion, and fear. The foundation of my relationship with Keith felt like it was crumbling beneath my feet, and I had no idea how to stop it. But wait, why is Laura saying all these things? Didn't she lose her memories? What happened last night? Did she get them back?I didn't know the answer to any of my questions but I knew that one thing was for sure, Laura is hell-bent on winning Keith back. And if I stand and do nothing about it, she is going to succeed at it.I w

    The basement was dimly lit, with shelves lining the walls, cluttered with jars, bottles, and unmarked boxes. The air was thick with the scent of chemicals and herbs, making me grateful for the gas mask. I moved quickly, scanning labels and opening drawers, searching for anything that could help me extract the truth from Keith.In the back of the room, I found a small, locked cabinet. It looked different from the rest of the storage. It was more secure, suggesting it held something important. My heart pounded as I looked around for something to force it open. After a few moments of frantic searching, I found a small crowbar tucked behind a stack of crates.With a deep breath, I wedged the crowbar into the cabinet door's seam and pushed with all my strength. The lock resisted for a moment before giving way with a sharp crack. Inside, I found several vials filled with various coloured liquids, each labelled with cryptic symbols and notes. One vial, in particular, caught my eye. A deep,

I was rooted to the spot, my heart racing with fear and anger.Everything made sense now.The sudden appearance, the convenient memory loss, and the strained relationship dynamics. The real Laura was dead, and this imposter sister of hers, whom none of us knew existed, was here to wreak havoc and exact revenge.I had to warn Jenna and Keith, but I couldn't just burst in and tell them without proof. I needed to gather evidence, and I needed to do it quietly. I was just about to leave but had to duck into the bushes when I noticed Nicola was coming. She met with Laura just as Laura ended the phone call and hid the phone itself.I can't believe that bitch has been playing us all. Even as smart and conniving as Big Mama is, she still fell for the act too.I wonder what she must have told them to convince them that a person like Laura was capable of wanting Keith to return to being his mother's ultimate wea

I stepped out of the car and waited, leaning back on the car booth.I could feel Lorah's movement in the booth and it was so tempting to pull her out and finish her off but I waited patiently for Leonard to show up first.My eyes scanned the surroundings. Every shadow was a potential threat.Finally, headlights cut through the darkness, and a sleek black car pulled into the alley. Leonard stepped out, his face a mask of confidence and arrogance. Leonard smiled when his eyes landed on me and I gritted my teeth. My arms which were folded together, tightened.He thought he was in control, that he had the upper hand. Little did he know, tonight would be his last."Keith," he greeted, his voice smooth and composed. "Where's my wife?"I scoffed, pushing off from the car, "Did you come because you loved her, or just to get rid of a witness?"Leonard's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean, Keith? Of course I love my wife. Where

    KEITH POVI never knew Laura had a twin sister with the name Lorah. I never thought that the twin would hate me so much that she'd plot with Leonard to kill me herself."Why?" I asked, although I didn't really care. I doubt her reason would save her from what I had in store for her."Why?" she chuckled, "because you hurt me Keith. You chose my sister over me even if I was the one you saw first. Love at first sight? Pfft! You fucking married the wrong twin!" Lorah spat.I squatted to her level on the ground, staring into her eyes with mine as empty as I felt, "I'm glad I married your twin. I'd never love someone as evil as you.""Evil? Keith, you are evil itself!" Lorah screamed in my face and I took out a handkerchief from my pocket to wipe my face before standing up straight.I turned away from her before speaking orders to Cecilia, "tie her up and throw her into the booth of my car."Cecilia nodded without hesitation, grabbing Lorah by the arms and dragging her out of the room.

    LAURA POVI couldn't have been more happier when the news of Jenna's death reached me. Sadly, I had to pretend to be sad about it to everyone but now that I'm alone in my room, I can finally smile at least.My phone buzzed in the pocket of my Jeans and I scanned around, shutting my bedroom door afterwards, before finally picking up.It was a call from my sweet husband Leonard, the man for whom I've gone this far in this scheme."My love." he started and I blushed, "I heard the news of her death. How is he taking it?"A smirk played on my lips as I responded, "very badly."I could imagine the grin on his face right now."Very good. That means that at this point, his guard will be let down. Do you still have the poisoned blade I gifted you?" Leonard asked.I took out a small key from my pocket and unlocked the bottom drawer next to my bed, taking out a dagger after I opened it."Yes," I answered, ready to take his orders.It's funny how they believe my husband will be the one to kill Ke

    KEITH POV"Doctor, will he be fine?""He will. He just fainted from too much stress, lack of food for possibly the last four days, and overthinking as well. He needs to take it easy or who knows what might happen.""Alright, doctor.""Make sure you keep a close eye on him. Force him to take the medicines if you have to. His health depends on it, Mr Richard.""I'll make sure he recovers." Richard's voice echoed in my head with other voices mixing in all of a sudden, "thank you for your help."I squeezed my eyes shut when I was almost blinded by the light in the room."Where the fuck am I?" I asked, not sure if Richard was still in the room or not.I sat up and after a few seconds, my eyes opened, adjusting to the light.I was in a small, sterile hospital room. The sterile smell of antiseptic filled the air. Richard came closer and sat on a chair beside my bed, his face etched with worry."You're awake," he said, relief evident in his voice as he leaned forward. "How do you feel?""Like

    KEITH POVI pushed back harder, my desperation turning into raw fury. "I'm not going anywhere until you tell me what I need to know!" I shouted, my voice breaking.Two officers grabbed my arms, trying to drag me away, but I fought back, wrenching myself free and shoving one of them. My vision blurred with rage and fear. I swung wildly, my fist connecting with an officer’s jaw. The commotion drew more attention, and I could hear the murmurs of the crowd growing louder."Tell me! What was the victim's name?!" I yelled at the officer whose eyes filled with fear as I stared into his eyes with anger.He didn't speak until I raised my fist to Puch him."We don't know the victim's name! Just her face from CCTV footage!" the officer yelled, shielding his face.My eyebrows, once furrowed, now relaxed while my raised fist weakened, "the news said..." my voice trailed off."It's just one victim. We don't plan on meeting any family member or investigating the woman!" he confessed."What?!" I exc

    KEITH POVI drove around aimlessly, trying to think of where Jenna could have gone. My mind was a storm of anxiety and regret. How had things spiraled so far out of control? Eventually, I parked the car in a quiet spot and pulled out my phone. I had to try calling her again, even if she wouldn't answer. My fingers trembled as I dialed her number, praying she would pick up. The phone rang and rang, but there was no answer.Frustrated and helpless, I decided to call Richard. He answered on the second ring."Keith? Did you find her?""No," I replied, my voice strained. "She left the hospital. Do you have any idea where she might go?"Richard was silent for a moment. "Not at all, Keith. I guess we'll just have to wait and see if she returns on her own.""Wait and see?" I snapped. "We can't just sit around while she's out there suffering.""Keith, calm down," Richard urged. "I understand you're worried, but we need to think logically. She might need some space right now."I knew he was ri

    KEITH POVRichard's eyes darted nervously before he tried to muster a calm facade. "I wasn't hiding, just trying to get a better signal," he replied, his voice shaky and unconvincing.My grip on his shoulder tightened. "Don't lie to me, Richard. Who were you talking to?" My voice was low, menacing.He swallowed hard, clearly struggling to maintain his composure. "It was a private call, Keith. I swear it has nothing to do with Jenna."I leaned in closer, my face inches from his. "Do you really think I'm in the mood for games? Tell me the truth, or you'll regret it even as my friend."Richard's eyes widened with fear. He glanced around, as if searching for an escape, but there was none. Finally, he sighed, his shoulders slumping in defeat. "Keith, I'm not sure how you will take this news...""Spill it."Richard sighed deep, "Jenna... had a miscarriage at a nearby hospital just now."The world seemed to freeze around me, Richard’s words echoing in my mind like a cruel, relentless chant.

Richard took the pilot's seat, while I settled into the back, preparing the parachutes and planting Jenna's dress in the plane. Everything had to look convincing.The engine roared to life, and as we taxied down the runway, I glanced out the window, hoping our plan would succeed. Richard's voice came over the intercom, tense but controlled. "We're about to take off. Ready?""Ready," I replied, my voice steady despite the adrenaline coursing through me.The plane lifted off the ground, and as we climbed higher, I double-checked the parachutes and ensured everything was in place. Richard began the distress signal after five minutes in the air, his voice urgent and convincing as he reported engine failure and a possible crash landing."We're approaching the designated area," he said over the intercom.
