I got into my car parked a few meter away from the Mansion and slammed the door shut, my hands trembled slightly as I tried to steady my breathing, my hands flung to my chest and I squeezed on it tightly to get my outraging heart into place, but it wasn’t working, I was super scared. I just made an attempt to snatch my life from my Mother’s grip and I don’t even have a solid plan yet, what if this impulsive act is bad for me?! Ofcourse Mother won’t sit still and watch me behave the way I just did and get away with it, my heart pounded in my chest as I considered these thoughts, tears threatened to spill from my eyes, but I clenched my jaw, refusing to let them fall. I slowly looked up and turned to look at our house building, I need to come up with a plan as soon as possible, with what I’ve done today, if I don’t come up with one as soon as possible, my life would definitely become more miserable than in the past, I raised my hands to my face and wiped the line of tears in my eyes, I definitely need to control this feeble tear gland of mine! First I need to get out of here, I pulled down the rear mirror and looked at my face in it, my reflection stared back at me, a mess of mascara streaked tears and smudge eyeliner, with shaky hands I reached out to the dashboard, pulled out wipes and began to wipe the make up off my face. As I tried to get myself together, a movement caught my eyes, I stopped what I was doing and looked up, someone stepped out from the shadow onto the road , I stretched my hands to the light of the car and turned it off immediately, just as he got to the middle of the road, he paused and turned towards the direction of my car, I ducked down instinctively, from where I sat, I heard his phone beep and he took it out from his pocket. The light from his phone reflected on his face, my eyes went wide immediately as I raised my hands to my mouth, My heart skipped a beat, I recognized him right away, my breath caught in my throat as I stared at him, it was him! the guy from the night of my death, the guy whose belongings are somehow magically seating in my apartment right now! I wanted to get out of my car and run towards him, but for reasons I have no idea about I stayed glued on the seat. But wait, our mansion is the only building around here, he definitely must have been coming from there, but why?! Is he stalking me?! Does he know who I am?! Before I could process what was happening, he got into his car parked just a few meters from mine and zoomed off, my mouth hung open, who is this guy! 10:00pm …. I stood in front of my full length mirror with my hands folded across my chest, I stared quietly at my reflection in it, all these are new to me and I have a lot of questions, what is this life I’m living?! Is this a figment of my imagination?! Will I be able to change my future?! Will I live or die once my one year is up?! Is it possible to completely change my future and prevent my death from happening?! I guess there’s only one way to find out! *”Do what you might doctor, our company is going through a lot right now, we cannot afford the bill for a surgery!”* *“I have done a lot to get here, to finally get rid of you! Even if you survive this, you won’t survive what’s next!”* my mother’s words from the night of my death rang in my head, I gently took a step closer to the mirror, I unfolded my hands and pointed at my reflection in the mirror, “Your mother hates your gut!” I began my voice coming out calm and almost in a whisper. “You have absolutely no one in this life! You’re utterly alone!” “Oh, you think your sister loves you?! Well you’re wrong!” I continued my voice pitch increasing as my breath became ragged. “You think you can endure marriage with Novan?!, well you did and it ended in your death!” “Yes! You heard that right! Your mother wants you dead at all costs and her reason you don’t even know!” I was screaming now with tears streaming down my face, my hair which I took pain to style earlier now in utter mess but I didn’t even care at all. “What did you do?! You didn’t even do anything wrong! But guess what ?! Life is fucking unfair!” “You loved everyone! You looked after everyone, you were sincere but what did you get in return?! Nothing!” “Well you did get something! Death!” My face was a crying mess now as I screamed at myself through the mirror, “You think you can change the world through your kind heart?! Well you’re wrong!” “Your first life was a wreck! It was ruined and destroyed! So what are you going to do about it!” “Get up Harper! Stop feeling fucking sorry for yourself! Get up and get back at the people who ruined your life!” “Do whatever you have to do to get what you want! Being a good girl has never really payed you anyway” I screamed at myself at the top of my voice, I slumped to the ground, my whole body shook as I wailed in pains, my hands squeezing tightly on my chest. *“Tomorrow is a new day, Don't let the darkness of today overshadow the brightness of tomorrow”* This is the most anticipated Tomorrow and definitely the dawn of a new Harper Emily Walter. Next Day, Monday, 9:00am I walked through the company glass doors, every head in the room turned my way. I was putting on a figure-hugging black leather dress that highlighted my curves and stopped just above my knee. I made sure my lipstick was bold and red just to look more striking. My makeup was immaculate, I applied blush on my checks giving me a perfectly sculpted cheekbones, YouTube videos are helping a whole lot these days. I paired it with a matching black luxurious leather hand bag with gold accents and a pair of sleek, black stilettos that clicked sharply against the marble floor as I walked. As I approached the elevator, everyone’s gaze stayed glued on me, the entrance lobby was filled with whispers and murmurs of awe at my transformation, it wasn’t my intention to get people talking, but it’s necessary. Just as I was about to reach the elevator, the doors slid open, and mother stepped out, with her crew behind her. The look of surprise on her face was unmistakable as she took in my appearance, from head to toe, the other staff all bowed in greeting at her presence. "What the hell are you doing?!” She snorted, her glare on me almost boring a hole in my face, I slowly raised my bag to the crook of my elbow, I gently took a step closer to her, I could feel everyone hold their breath in fear for me, which staff dare look into her eyes like that, My features slowly broke out into a soft confident smile, “We should talk, right?!” I replied my voice coming out warm and cool, how about I get more tongues wagging, "Mom?!" I added and my smile widened, she looked taken as she locked gazes with me, Through the corner of my eyes I saw the other staff exchange puzzled look, they broke out in small whispers and murmurs, *”she’s owners daughter?!”* *”Why did she hide her identity though”* *” I thought Miss Michelle was the only child”* *” How come we never heard anything about her, She must be really humble,”* Mother and I just stood face off at the entrance of the elevator staring deep into each other’s eyes, I beat her to announcing this to the public much to my advantage. Using my first life as a cheat, I definitely would manipulate this one to my advantage!Related chapters

Harper Geraldine’s Office (Her mother!)“What are you doing?! Are you trying to draw attention to yourself?! This outfit is inappropriate for work!” Mother yelled, pacing my front, I was seated on a three seater with my legs crossed and my hands delicately placed on my legs.I gently reached out and plucked out a grape from the tray on the table, I raised it to my mouth and crushed it beneath my teeth, “Why?!” I asked with raised brows tilting my head to the side, I slowly reached out and plucked out another grape, my movement slow, precise and unbothered much to her annoyance, I slowly chewed on the grape and looked up at her, “Michelle wears them, why can’t I?!” I retorted, she snorted and stepped closer to me, “I’m speaking to you! You should be on your feet!” She snapped as ,she bent towards the table picked up the tray of fruit and flinged it away smashing it on the wall, “You have no right to cancel the wedding! Call your parent inlaw and apologize for your dirty attitude l

Damon. Next day, Tuesday 2:30pm…I stood at the front of the conference room beside the projector as Lisa my assistant tried to set it up, the wooden table stretched out in front of me, it could comfortably seat up to thirty people but it only contained two this time, My twin sister and Co- owner- Daphne and our potential investor Mr Cassano.I turned to look at my sister and held her gaze for a while, she gave me a slight nod, if things go well for us today Mr Cassano would be our biggest client, and we really need his investment funds for an huge project we are embarking on, she was putting all her trust in me, I haven’t disappointed her before and I wasn’t going to start now, I replied her with a firm nod, The projection screen behind me displayed the first slide of my presentation and I began,“This is the result of the market survey of our product,” I said raising my hand to the screen, “D&D’s is well known for its very unique taste across all of our products, it’s made from n

Harper.Meanwhile,Tuesday 09:30am …I put the last one of my books in a small crate I brought along with me to pack up, every other staff sharing an office with me just watched quietly as I packed up my things, since they realized that I was owner’s daughter also, their behaviour to me all changed, This morning, when I walked in here they all got up on their feet and bowed to me in greeting, I gently covered up the crate, I picked up my MacBook on the table and carefully placed it in my hand bag, just as I was about to carry the carts and walk out, the door pushed open and Mother’s assistant- Rose walked in, quietly she walked towards me and bowed politely, she was one of the few people that had always known my true identity.“Ma’am Geraldine wants to see you in her office,” she said, I simply nodded signalling for her to go on and I’ll catch up with her, she nodded again as she turned around and walked out of the room, I picked up the crate, just as I was about to walk out one staf

Harper.The door to their Rolls Royce opened and he slowly stepped out, his pair of black shiny shoes caught my eyes as he stepped out and slammed the door shut behind him, the other lady beside him pushed the door open also and stepped out of the car, I looked between the both of them, they were putting on Matching office wears, they had such a striking resemblance and I could tell right away that they were siblings. Exchanging glances, they both made their way towards me and stood in front of their car also facing me , I looked into the Damon guy’s eyes and his eyes didn’t leave mine also, as if contemplating who would speak first. “Enough with the games, you found us out, what are you going to do?!” The lady said, I relunctantly lifted my gaze from Damon and turned to look at her, I raised my brows at her dramatically tilting my heads to the side, I changed my posture and stood more upright, “Why not let’s start with what you want from me?!” I whispered turning back to look at D

Damon.Meanwhile, (That same night, 7:30pm) The drive all the way back home was a very quiet one save for the sound of rain, we never made plans for if Harper says no, I was so sure she would be enraged by anger and just agree to our plans, but apparently she’s quite smarter than she puts up.“Pass me the umbrella,” Daphne said to me as the driver pulled up in the driveway, I slowly turned to look at her, all my ability to speak suddenly vanished as I muttered incoherent words, she slowly turned in her seat to look at me,“Damon! The umbrella,” she repeated, her voice growing stern, she definitely already caught a whiff of what happened, I sighed deeply, “Look Daphne, I don’t know how it happened but I think I misplaced it,” I finally said, gathering all the audacity I had in me to say that to her face,“W-what do you mean you misplaced it?!” She asked with a small scoff, “Beats me too sis, one time I had it and the next I didn’t, I really can’t say this is where I dropped it,” I s

Harper. Wednesday 9:00amThe automated glass door in the company pushed open as I walked to the front of it, without breaking my strides I walked into the company, Every staff I came across in the company paused in their tracks and turned to me bowing in greeting.I was putting on a purple suit gown that stopped a little above my waist, paired with a matching orange Birkins bag and orange pointy toes stilettos.Collin walked up to me and continued walking beside me, “I got my appointment letter this morning,” he whispered as he pressed on the elevator and the doors went open, I nodded slowly as we both walked into the elevator, “I’ve prepared your new office, and your Plaque as COO have also been placed there,” He explained and I just nodded at him slowly as he spoke.“Also, there would be a meeting with all shareholders today by 12:00pm, although Ma’am Geraldine didn’t tell me to include it in your schedule, I think you should be there,” He explained, I slowly turned to look at h

Harper.2:30pm …“Here,” Collin said as he stretched his IPad to me , I looked up from my laptop, closed it halfway and took his IPad from him, I stared into the screen and listened attentively as he spoke. “Damon Gilbert Brown, the woman with him, Daphne Gabriella Brown, they’re orphans, they lost their parents at age ten and had to be in foster care,” he began, “They got out of foster care at eighteen and began to struggle for themselves, their Nextdoor neighbor, Helen Smith then became their adoptive mother although she didn’t adopt them legally, they live together as mother and children now though,”“He graduated with a doctorate degree in chemistry and his sister a doctorate degree in business administration, and now they run a craft brewery together,”“So what’s his deal with My mother?!” I asked looking away from the screen and looking up at him, he reached forward and gently swiped on the screen to the next slide, my gaze returned to the screen and he continued speaking. “A

Harper.7:00pm.Collin pulled up in front of my house and turned the ignition off, I slowly turned to look at the building and exhaled deeply.I reached for the handle about to pull it open and step out, Collin voice stopped me.“Your new door pass,” he said, I almost forgot that I asked to change all the locks, I took it from him and turned again to leave, “I found something,” he muttered, I paused and slowly turned to look at him, he instinctively stretched out his hands to the back seat, took out a brown envelope I didn’t notice lying there and stretched it out to me, I looked down at the envelope and back up at him.“I found out about some things you should know about,” he simply said, I looked down at the envelope and gently took it from him, with that, I pulled the door open, stepped out of the car and headed towards my apartment. The next I heard was Collin driving the car towards the parking lot, I already told him, he was my assistant not my driver, and I can drive myself,

One months later .Harper.As Damon and I walked out of the wedding reception hall, hand in hand, the sound of cheers and applause surrounded us. The air was filled with excitement, love, and celebration as our family and friends gathered around, clapping and throwing rose petals into the air. My heart pounded in my chest, the reality of what we had just accomplished sinking in—we were finally married. After all had been said and done, I was finally spending the rest of my life with the man I loved the most.I looked up at him, my husband, and he gave me that smile, the one that made my knees weak every time. It felt surreal. After everything we had been through to get here, after all the obstacles and moments of doubt, we had made it. We were bound together, forever.The cool evening breeze hit my face as we stepped outside, but all I could feel was the warmth radiating from his hand in mine. Our family followed close behind, their joyful laughter echoing around us as they took pict

4:00pmDamon. “Harper was dismissed?!” I repeated immediately Collin mentioned it, he nodded slowly in response to my words and he went on to explain how it happened.“Shit!” “How is she ?! Is she doing fine?!” I asked as I looked up at Rose.“Obviously not, she’s still in her feelings and she says she just wants to be alone,” Rose replied.“How can she just want to be alone, someone has to be with her,” I said, she shook her head slowly.“No I think she should be left alone,” Rose said, I exhaled deeply and leaned into the chair, I dipped my hands in my hair ruffling it slightly. “What do we do guys, honestly we channeled all our effort in one direction, we didn’t have any plan B,” I muttered, Rose sat up straight in her chair looking between Collin and I.“There’s someone I’ll like you to meet,” she muttered and almost immediately the door open revealing Lisa and someone else behind her, “Thank you Lisa,” Rose said, she responded with a slight bow and with that she turned arou

Meanwhile, that same morning.Damon. I parked in front of the Jade apartment, I stepped out of my car and dashed to her front porch, I banged my hands on her door continuously, my patience waning by the second. The door went open, without even letting her say a word I violently pushed the door wider and walked in, she flinched lightly as she let go of the door knob and stepped away immediately. “It was you! You did this!”“You saw that I was drunk and you took advantage of me!” I yelled the veins in my neck popping out, she scoffed as she slowly folded her hands around her chest, “I took advantage of you?! Everyone saw the video and it seems to be the other way around,” “Your hands were all over me, you couldn’t get enough of me! You enjoyed it as much as I did!”“Can’t you see Damon?! We are meant to be, you love me,” she muttered stepping close to me, as she raised her hands to my chest, I angrily grabbed her hands and twisted it behind her,“Oww, that hurts!” She squeaked and

(Immediately after the meeting)Rose. “Have you found Michelle?!!” I paused in my tracks, my hands slowly loosened around the knob to Geraldine’s office , I stepped close and pressed my ear against the door“No ma’am, she’s not at her place , Novan is confused also, her friend’s apartment have been under locks for a while, I guess they ran away together,” “Leslie at this point I don’t need any negative answers from you, you should do your job perfectly,” I raised my hands over my mouth immediately she mentioned the name of the person she was having a conversation with. Oh my God! Who would have thought! Leslie?!“What about Harper?! Anything I need to know?!”“Ma’am Everything is under control, you’ve ruined all their evidences against you, at the moment everything is going south for them,”“Good! Now get back to your work station before anybody suspects anything,” I heard Geraldine say, I immediately stepped away and hurried over to the next passage way, after some seconds, I peak

Next Day Damon.My eyes slowly fluttered open, the moment I opened my eyes I felt a banging ache in my head, I winced in pain as I raised my hands to my head and rubbed my forehead slowly, I slowly sat up on the sofa where I was seated. There was a glass of alcoholic wine and a cup on the floor, I mistakenly kicked the glass with my legs but luckily it didn’t break. I looked down at my self, my shirt was undone, even the zip of my pant trousers, I exhaled deeply, the pain in my head still as prevalent as ever, just how much did I have to drink yesterday. I picked up my phone laying carelessly on the floor and stared in it, 07:00 am. It was already morning, I’m sure some workers would have arrived, I buttoned up my shirt and dressed up properly, I wanted to pick up my laptop bag but I decided against it, I’ll be coming back to the office very soon, I just wanted to go home and get changed, and come back to the office. I picked up my jacket and headed out of the office. “Ohh!” Lisa s

Damon.9:00pm I didn’t even know what to think right now, my head was empty, very empty, I already drank every single thing in my head away. I was dead drunk, I don’t usually drink talk more of getting drunk but with everything that had been happening recently I drank way more than my liquor limit. I’m amazed at the fact that I was able to drive without getting into an accident. I slowly looked up at the building I was parked in front of, ohh shit! The office. How can I be here, I really thought I was driving home and had gotten home. Ohh boy, I might as well pass the night here, I pushed the door open, staggered out barely keeping my acts together, I almost fell but I quickly grabbed onto the car door to steady myself, I squeezed my eyes shut tightly hoping to steady all the images spiralling before my eyes but I couldn’t, I gave up, slammed the door shut, locked it and headed into the office. Everyone had locked up and gone home, I fumbled with the lock for quite some minutes befo

Harper.“You misplaced the drive?!” Mr Henry exclaimed over the phone, I dipped my hands in my hair and ruffled it rigorously, pacing my office aimlessly. “I’ll make sure to find it I promise,”“There’s no need for that, Geraldine just left my office, she had it and she has destroyed it,” he said, I paused in my tracks immediately and looked up.“What!”“Yes! Obviously,”“But who could have told her about it,” he exhaled, I exhaled deeply and slowly dropped on to the sofa behind me,“That’s the thing! I have no idea,” I sighed frustratingly, I heard him exhale deeply over the phone,“Okay, let’s talk later, I’ve got to go” he said, I nodded slowly as I gently removed the phone from my ear and dropped it on the table. Just then the door opened and Collin walked in, “Harper ..”“Mr Henry just called,” I said cutting Collin off, he stepped forward and propped closer to me,“What did he say?!”“That we shouldn’t bother searching for it, Geraldine destroyed it right in front of his eye

Meanwhile.Michelle.“Tell me why you haven’t been picking up my calls!”I looked up to see Novan barge into my hospital room and slammed the door behind me, I rolled my eyes to the back of my head, obviously he’d be able to enter now, I sent the guy my mom out to monitor me on an endless exhausting errand, he paused in his tracks and looked up at me,“You’re packing, you’re leaving?! Did the doctor say you can leave?!” He asked all at once, I ignored him and kept on packing my things, I didn’t want to stay here anymore, it’s no longer safe for me, I want to leave. “Atleast tell me where you’re going!” He said as he grabbed my hands and turned me to face him, I bit the insides of my lips and snatched my hands away from him, I looked around the room, immediately I sighted the CCTV camera, I took off my platform slippers and aimed it at it, I didn’t miss, the CCTV camera came shattering down, “I’m going somewhere safe!” I finally said as I walked up to where I threw my slippers , pick
