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,

    YILENA POVLaura ended the call with a satisfied smirk, oblivious to my presence. 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

    JENNA POV"Jenna, are you okay?" Yilena asked, her voice trembling as she tossed the broken vase aside and knelt next to me.I nodded, still in shock from the sudden violence. "I... I think so. Just a little cut." I answered, checking to see the tear on my inner thigh, it must have been caused by the edge of the table."We need to get you out of here," she said urgently, glancing at Keith's unconscious form. "It's not safe."I struggled to my feet, my body shaking. "Yilena, thank you. But what about Keith? What if he wakes up and...?"Yilena looked at Keith with concern in her eyes but shook her head, "Leave him there. Jenna, there's something I have to tell you."But before Yilena could say a word, the door to the study opened and Laura and Nicola walked in."Oh my God, Keith!" Laura exclaimed, rushing to Keith who was still on the floor, her eyes scanned the floor which was covered in broken pieces of the vase before she turned to me, "What did you do to him?!" she screamed."Jenna d

    JENNA POVYilena's grip on the steering wheel tightened, her face paling. She put the phone on speaker, and I recognized the voice on the other end even though I wasn't too familiar with him. It was Richard."Richard, calm down," Yilena said, trying to keep her voice steady. "Where is Keith now?""He's tearing the mansion apart looking for Jenna and sent some men out to search for her in all the safehouses! What the hell happened?! Nicola said Jenna had a miscarriage!" Richard's voice was frantic."We had to get out of there. Jenna was in danger," Yilena replied, glancing at me with concern. "Listen, you need to stall him. Tell him she was taken to the hospital and is in critical condition. Make him believe she's still there."Richard paused the sound of his heavy breathing filling the car. "Alright, I'll do what I can. But Yilena, if he finds out—""He won't," Yilena interrupted. "Just keep him busy. We don't have much time.""Send an aeroplane to Aust Airport. I have an idea of how a

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. "Get ready."I took a deep breath, securing the parachute straps around me. "Let's

    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.

    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

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.

    KEITH POVThe line went dead, and I put the phone back in my pocket. 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
